Re: Evolution Online

Seeing all the attention Crimson Abyss was getting, the twenty Generals did not remain idle. 

"Silence," the leader of the battalion standing closest to the magic shop shouted in his commanding voice. He seemed to be of the warrior class, as the way in which his commanding shout echoed definitely had mana infused in the sound waves.

The General then turned toward Alex and spoke to her stiffly, "You are late."

However, just as he said that, another group of people exited the magic shop and joined the crowd without any muss or fuss.

Alex clicked her tongue and sarcastically glanced at this sight. "So all these rules are just for our guild or for everyone else? I don't see you questioning that guild?"

"Hmph! They did not create this much disturbance!" The guy's face twitched.

"Oh? But I didn't do anything? I am just standing here silently." Alex purposefully made a pitiful expression. It was clear that she was acting, but it was still enough to move the hearts of several of the assembled men.

Besides, the row full of beauties standing in the front was enough to buy some brownie points for Crimson Abyss.

"Shouldn't it be fine? Everyone is just getting here." Someone loudly commented.

"Yes. Yes. There is no need to waste time on this. They can join our battalion. There is some space here right next to me."

"We all had a problem because Crimson Abyss stayed silent and did not participate in the war, but now they are here. So it's all good. Let's just invite the guild in."

The few Generals standing in front of the crowd had ugly expressions on their faces. 

They especially knew how much effort was spent to bad mouth the guild these past few days, but now the mere presence of these few bitches was enough to overturn their efforts? This won't do!

The General in command quickly raised his hand. "That's enough. No one is criticizing anyone here. Since the guild registered at the last minute, we are having to compromise our battle strategy and make adjustments."

"This is a safety issue. This is a war, not a party get-together, to come in and leave as you please."

"Ha Ha. You don't have to worry too much about this, Mister. We are just one hundred and fifty in number. There are thousands of men assembled here. I am sure you can squeeze our little one fifty anywhere here."

The General's face twitched again. Just one hundred fifty? That was true, but each of them was equal to ten or twenty normal fighters. Was she forcing him to admit this openly?

He was about to open his mouth and say something when another one of the Generals stepped forward and spoke on his behalf. "You are right, Miss Alex. Feel free to join any battalion as you wish."

"What-" The other General couldn't accept this, but the first one shook his head and signaled him not to speak. Instead, he once again spoke. "By the way, may I know where Miss Alex managed to get so many high-tier items?" 

"All your guild members are well-equipped. Perhaps if you could share this secret with all of us, then we would also be able to strengthen our ranks?" He smiled politely.

"Come on. Can you not share with us even this small thing after creating such a scene at the last minute? Surely, you must have a secret way." His words rang loudly, especially the last part about having a secret method.

Now it was Alex's turn to wear an ugly expression. Hearing about the 'secret method,' even those who were supporting them earlier now looked at them as if they had committed some sort of grave sin and murdered several children.

"Yes, if you have some method like that, you should have shared it with others."

"Do you know how much we have all suffered?"

"How is your level so high?"

With just a few words, the attention was completely diverted, and Crimson Abyss was once again on the losing side of this conversation.

However, Alex did not appear to be faltered because of this. She smiled calmly and shook her head. 

"What are you saying, Mister? What secret method? Just like you, we also purchased our items from the magic shop. Do you mean to say that you had some secret method to obtain items?"

She was not losing out at all as she immediately tossed the ball right back into their court. 

Public opinion was undoubtedly divided after this as they were not blind. They could see that both sides had spectacular gear on them when compared to the rest of the guilds, who might as well be beggars in this scenario.

Alex grinned confidently as she stared back at the obnoxious man, but to her surprise, he did not continue this useless endeavor.

"Alright. Let's talk about this later. Currently, we need to focus on the war preparations." Another General stepped forward and ended the issue. 

"Please take your place at the 6th battalion. Since you joined at the last minute and did not put any effort into training for this war, this is the only spot we can afford to assign you. Please leave."

Alex gave the guy a stare, but she also did not dwell on this matter any further. She silently waved her hand and started walking to her assigned spot.  contemporary romance

The rest of the Crimson Abyss also followed her. Everyone took their positions and stood nonchalantly. 

The General who oversaw this silently simmered inside. However, he also did not say anything. It was almost as if they had received orders not to provoke Crimson Abyss anymore.

But they did not care. After all, this was just the assembly. The main event and the real fireworks were yet to begin. The victor and the loser would be decided then! 

The Generals did not pay any more attention to Crimson Abyss and went back to the assembly meeting. 

However, the star of the show was still Crimson Abyss as all of the hundred and fifty members walked over to stand in their respective positions.

The clanging sounds of their gear, their brilliantly shimmering attire, and the pride and aura exuded from each and every one of the hundred and fifty guild members was enough to arouse awe and envy from the thousands of gathered troops.

If the sight of the Generals made them pay attention, the sight of these hundred and fifty Crimson Abyss guild members made everyone's blood boil!
