Pillars of Ita

Chapter 1240 The Determined Lone Walker VI

The community seemed calm, but when Halsey moved her finger to the other side, she saw that the forum of the third division was already in an uproar.

He looked down and saw several more popular posts every time he refreshed the page. He sighed calmly in his heart that this was indeed the region with the most people.

The warring parties were fighting in the community, actually it was all about the matter of the team his sister was in. Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and the opposing side produced official evidence from the Empire and the Silver Wind Harbor Council and brought up old matters again.

They claimed that the Dragon Alchemist was just a name, and that the Seven Seas Brigade was a group of sky and sea bandits who did not abide by the rules wherever they went, so naturally they would be on wanted warrants everywhere.

Halsey took a few casual glances and found that most of them were water armies. He himself was a senior executive of the club and one of the helmsmen of the family, so he was naturally aware of the filthiness of the situation.

However, netizens are having a great time fighting against the troll army. Most of them are free choosers or tend to be on the side of free choosers, and they don’t care about the so-called evidence:

Official? What kind of official? The real official of Division 3 had already ordered the Super Athletic League to "suspend business for rectification". Besides, the Kaolin-Ishurian alliance had already collapsed. Now the desert people, Guta people, Ivan Quinn's elves, dwarves, Yis people, and Fenris people are all independent. King Kaolin cannot represent the Kingdom of Kaolin.

The suspension of the Super Athletic League in Division III has caused a lot of controversy internationally, but Halsey knows very well that the so-called controversy almost all comes from Divisions I and II. The former CIS countries turned a blind eye to it, and Division IV also remained silent.

The United Nations was engaged in a war of words, but the officials of the three countries in the third zone remained unmoved. They just went on with their own business and at most made a few mild remarks.

What is intriguing is that although Division One opposes, it often does not take action. Only Halsey knows that the Stargate Declaration is actually dead in name only, and several countries involved in formulating the order no longer intend to maintain it.

Only those who don't understand the situation are like headless flies, buzzing and humming as they are ordered around, and are used as a shield without realizing it.

Most of these people are loyal fans of the big guilds, or have interests in them, or some club behind them personally participated. But surprisingly, the top players were almost without exception absent from this big discussion.

The operation of star players in the hyper-competitive era is very different from the past. Because personal accounts are bound to the Dragon Knight system, clubs often operate a dedicated account to speak out in the community.

These special accounts don't really have much use other than posting some players' personal schedule information and fans' greetings. Most of the more experienced viewers know who the players' real accounts are.

At this moment, those accounts remained silent without exception and did not say a word.

The silence further boosted the momentum of the Seven Seas Brigade's supporters. They were bringing up the past misdeeds of the Super Athletic League, revisiting old accounts, and using their sharp words to defeat the navy.

Halsey only saw a few unfamiliar names. None of the IDs he was familiar with were on the court, including Chenxi, Odin, and Holy September. Only KUN said a few words, but his position could not be seen. It was probably a mission from the club.

Sometimes not expressing an opinion is also an attitude in itself, which made Halsey think of the present at a certain moment.

He looked at the four people sitting there. Ming was browsing the community and even raised his eyebrows, looking like he was sneering.

Zukul seemed a little hesitant, and Halsey roughly guessed what he was thinking. Only Avani, who came from the Mourning Guild, seemed anxious, because the interests of the First Division and the Osho people were consistent with the Super Athletic Alliance.

Halsey lowered her eyelids slightly, thinking about something in her heart.

The scene before him reminded him of eleven years ago, which was the end of the second decade of glory in the Third Division, the end of the Silver Vislan era, and shortly after the end of another major battle, the Battle of Byrne.

The stone tablets found beneath the Abyss point to an ancient prophecy that foretells the reappearance of seven obelisks, four relics, and the Holy Grail of the Elves.

People discovered the technique of margin from fragments of the Abyssal Documents and for the first time deduced the location of the place where the twelve stars shine together.

The nations sent out exploration fleets to the Second World, just as they had done in the late Golden Age, except that time they opened up the land bridge at the Gate of the Sea, and this time should be the closest the world has ever been to the Third World.

For this reason, the descendants of Flor - at that time they should be called the former allies, started a war with the Rainbow Alliance led by the Rose Crusaders.

The Free Guild Alliance remained neutral during the early stages of the war, until the Scions of Forlor issued an ultimatum to a small guild in Covenant Hill.

Ragnarok ordered the Covenant Hill Guild to give up the territory within a certain period of time, otherwise he would attack it.

In theory, this is a battle with a complete disparity in strength.

The Covenant Hill Guild is a small guild with only 322 members. Not only is it inferior to large guilds like the Oak Knights of Tapolis, it is even far inferior to small guilds like the Rain Listeners.

This guild is essentially a loose organization, where members help each other and can even come and go freely.

In that era, there were many such mutual aid guilds, and those freedom-loving rangers were extremely enthusiastic and still carried the halo of the pioneer era that had not yet faded.

So when the organizer of Covenant Hill, a little girl, tearfully denounced the evil deeds of the descendants of Flor in the community, the entire Alliance of Free Chosen was shocked.

Countless people responded to the call and volunteered to join this war.

But no one expected that this war would ultimately change everything profoundly.

Halsey himself had participated in this war before, but at that time he was not the Nightingale King Ten that people are familiar with today.

He is just a member of the Twelve-Color Iris Elite Youth Training Group.

He actually witnessed the end of this battle of virtue.

The confrontation between the two sides lasted for four years. Not only did the Rose Crusaders, Silver Vislan and BBK Alliance stand on the side of Covenant Mountain, but even Free Summoners from other regions came from afar to join the battle.

He is one of them.

But on the night the war ended, he received a secret order from the club.

Afterwards, the God Slayer Guild, which belonged to the BBK Alliance, mysteriously withdrew from the battle, and the coalition forces from the First and Second Divisions appeared behind the Covenant Mountain Alliance.

And from there they broke through the defenses of the Free Chosen Alliance.

That war ended with one side's defeat, causing the Alliance of the Chosen to fall apart and gradually decline.

The big guilds and club alliances gradually gained full control of the first and second worlds.

It also swiftly ended the second decade of glory of the Third Division, the era of Silver Vislan ended, and the seeds of division were planted.

The sea witch Mia was born because of this——

But the more profound changes are those that are imperceptible to the naked eye - the Super Athletic League has lost all the just foundations it has had since the pioneer era.

After the heavy halos fade away, what remains is an era where strength is king.

It sowed the seeds of hatred between the Free Chosen and the Alliance, and since then, the Alliance has no longer represented everyone and their many aspirations behind the Stargate.

They seem to have gained a lot, but in fact they have lost everything.

And right now, isn’t this a reflection of everything that happened in the past?

Halsey could vaguely feel the undercurrent surging beneath the calm. The guild alliance seemed to be moving step by step towards victory, but there was a disturbing factor hidden beneath everyone's high spirits.

Due to their status, everyone he was familiar with - Hades, Odin, Dawn, and Rhea - remained silent or watched coldly. Except for a very few who were unaware of this, most people in the Second Division had their own thoughts on this.

Beneath the ice lies a raging fire that is capable of overturning everything. The suppressed volcano is only silent for a while.

He seemed to be able to hear the sound of the flood knocking on the door. The third and fourth divisions were already on the verge of eruption, and how could the second division be any more far behind?

But the people outside the door turned a deaf ear to it.

Halsey silently picked up the crystal.

There is actually only one sentence above:

'Brother, are you sure that the Twelve-Colored Iris is really on the winning side this time?'

Smart people don't need much communication. Halsey tapped the table lightly with his fingers, but he finally made up his mind and typed a line of text on his system with an imperceptible flick.

He searched for a post with a certain title using this line of text as the content, and clicked on it as if it was an agreed-upon code.

From the outside, the post looked ordinary, just another debate about his sister's identity. Ever since the Seven Seas Brigade was exposed, more and more eyes were on its members.

His sister has appeared in the media before, so it is not surprising that someone recognized the identity of "Azure Fantasy".

However, the official website of Twelve-Color Iris has never come forward to admit this matter, so supporters and opponents each stick to their own opinions and neither side is convinced.

After all, there are so many people who look alike in this world, not to mention that his sister is a real person, but has never revealed her ID. And this post is just a rehash of the old tune, which analyzes various possibilities and concludes that the sister of the Nightingale King, one of the next generation leaders of the Twelve Color Iris, is unlikely to appear in the Seven Seas Brigade.

On the one hand, the Seven Seas Traveling Group became famous early on, and the identities of its early members have been confirmed, and Miss Poet is one of them.

The Twelve Irises would probably not invest in an unknown team in another division so early, let alone have the little princess join in person.

Halsey liked this 'rumor-busting' post.

This is his real personal account. His core fan group will naturally pay attention to the updates of this account at all times. As soon as they see any movement in this account, a large number of core fans will immediately jump to the post out of curiosity through the update.

The vice president of the Twelve-Colored Irises, the Dragon Knight, the Tenth King of Nightingales, and the future leader of the Sec. Club, one can imagine the number of supporters gathered under this account, and the post was almost immediately pushed to the top.

Halsey immediately saw that his assistant in the club was sending a question, asking him why he liked the post.

"This is my sister's business."

Halsey simply told the other party to mind her own business.

Almost everyone in the club knew about his relationship with the little princess. As a man who was crazy about protecting his sister, this was not surprising.

What's more, the club is currently monitoring other "public opinions", which are more important matters. At this time, Halsey's willingness to divert people's attention is actually a good thing for the guild alliance.

So after the other party warned him not to attract too much attention, the matter was dropped, just like many gossips of this era.

But Halsey knew that the bigger ones were yet to come.

He saw his private message light up and found that it was a spam email from someone unknown. He opened it and saw that the email was praising him with exaggerated words and asking him if he wanted to buy a men's weight loss product.

The other party claimed that this was an official cooperation product of the Twelve-Color Iris, and even Halsey said it was good after using it.

Halsey almost couldn't help laughing when she saw it, and cursed inwardly:

"This damn girl."

His account was monitored, but there was no one else other than his sister who would take the risk of sending him such trash at this time.

That guy must be beaming with joy right now. He couldn't help but smile, and then he looked at his own figure with some concern:

Have I really gained weight?

Ming sent a message from afar and asked, "What happened?"

"nothing."

"I saw you liked a weird post."

"It has nothing to do with you."

Ming glanced at the other party suspiciously. As an old rival, she was much more familiar with the King of Nightingales than anyone else. The other party was the same type of person as KUN and would definitely not do anything boring.

She looked at the post carefully, and Halsey's eyes were also on the post. Soon, some strange content appeared in the replies under the post.

Halsey raised her eyebrows slightly.

The fans who flocked in were initially arguing about the truth of the "rumor", but soon they were attracted by a few replies that were repeatedly posted.

There were mostly text messages in it, mixed with a few pictures. Most of the pictures showed scenes from the Ninemere front, imprisoned unicorn girls, interrogation information, and some experimental clips.

The images of several documents inside included the investigation results of the entire Silver Wind Harbor investigation team's disappearance case and several unicorn girl disappearance cases. The process and analysis were very complete. There were also some pictures of evidence, as well as a seal from the Silver Wind Harbor Disaster Investigation Department and Kalandil's own signature.

Another document bore the signature of Elwood, and many people recognized this famous detective, who had disappeared from the public eye since returning from Ravenrir, but other sources indicated that he had returned to Silverwind Harbor and was involved in the investigation of the missing unicorn girl's case.

After he went to Ninimere, there was no news of him.

The last seal came from the Elven Court, made by the great craftsman Aelin Ironheart, who was not only a top craftsman certified by the White Tree Society, but also a highly respected court alchemist.

The three seals seemed to prove the authority of these documents. Except for a few people who still had doubts about the facts stated in the text, others with a keen sense of smell had already started saving pictures.

Then, the summoners and fans from Division 2 began to proactively forward these images to their own communities, and began to verify the authenticity of the facts described in these documents with the outside world.

The Guild Alliance is launching a systematic persecution against the Holy Maiden Society.

The Linoril Council used Unicorn Girls for live experiments, trying to find a way to control the Gray Scourge.

The second round of disasters in Autumn Glade and Silverwind Harbor was actually led by the Guild. After controlling the Blight Branch of Ninimare, they planned to further gray and control the White Tree rooted in the Hill of Giant Trees, in order to achieve the goal of unifying their voices.

But this plan has a hidden loophole. If the power of darkness takes advantage of the opportunity to sneak in, it will be a disaster for Giant Tree Hill that cannot be reversed.

Furthermore, there may already be upper echelons in the Linoril Council who are in collusion with the minions of the Dark Saints.

Of course, people could not believe these alarmist words at first, but the seemingly authoritative documents and witnesses made them doubtful.

But when they forwarded these pictures back to the community of Division 2, they immediately found that they were banned, their posts were hidden, and their accounts were locked.

But such a cover-up is destined to be useful only to a few people. One or two posts, or even dozens or hundreds of posts can be locked and hidden, but among thousands or tens of thousands of posts, there will always be a few that slip through the net and survive.

Even if it only exists for a moment, the traffic that is pouring into the community at this moment due to the restoration of communication between the two worlds is enough for more people to see it.

What's more, Halsey's fan base is huge.

Even if the Alliance realized the seriousness of the situation and adopted a strategy of blocking and hiding keywords, the fact is that more and more information has begun to flow under the ice.

After all, the means of communication for most people are not just a community led by the Super Competitive League, but also their personal terminals.

The community's strange blocking of relevant information has only further aggravated these people's suspicions about the authenticity of the news:

If you don't feel guilty, why did you lock the post?

People generally have this rebellious mentality, so the channels for information dissemination are not blocked but accelerated further.

When the Alliance finally reacted and angrily asked Halsey about the matter, the Nightingale King innocently said that he was also unaware of it.

Maybe it was because the post was too popular and was taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.

He said he was sorry and could withdraw his post.

But there is no point in withdrawing now. The person in charge of the alliance was confused, but he also knew that the source was no longer with the Nightingale King, and it was meaningless to continue questioning him.

They immediately found the person in charge of the third division and asked them to delete the post in the community immediately, striving to stop the "rumor" at the source.

But the other party just sneered and told them: This is impossible.

The person in charge of the third zone sternly stated to them that the players and spectators in the third zone all have the right to speak freely in the community and no one can interfere with their freedom of speech.

It is obviously wrong to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

As for whether it is a rumor or not, a conclusion should be drawn after investigation, and the rumor maker should be severely punished and the rumor should be publicly debunked.

This is the reasonable way to deal with it.

But investigate? Investigate what? The person in charge of the second division thought to himself, "Others may not know, but don't I know if this is a rumor?"

The problem is that he finally figured out one thing: the Third Division is no longer the same Third Division as it used to be.

The people who contacted him were not from the Super Competitive League itself, because the league in the third division was currently in a state of suspension.

The other party is from the Stargate Port military.

This is a conspiracy!

He immediately sorted out the whole cause and effect of the incident.
