The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 71 - 67: Will There Be Players?

Kana looked at the two shipwrights.

"How many rafts are there currently?"

The old shipwright said, "Your Highness, there are a total of six rafts. By tomorrow, we can assemble four rafts at once.

If we put in more effort, we might be able to assemble another six the day after tomorrow."

Recently, a few dwarves have arrived here, and because they have nowhere to vent, they often chop down trees.

Dwarves have this restless nature; without alcohol to drink, they need to let off some steam.

All these dwarves have Level Three strength, and when it comes to chopping trees, they are much more formidable than ordinary workers.

With a few chops, a large tree is down.

The workers are very appreciative, cheering and shouting from the sidelines.

They even started competitions, for example, pitting one dwarf against a dozen workers.

So, quite a bit of lumber has accumulated.

"Tell the workers about the current situation and have them put in more effort," Kana thought for a moment and said somewhat helplessly.

The more rafts there are, the easier it will be later on.

We supposedly have three days, but that’s part of the game storyline.

Now, we can’t act like before, waiting until the third day to make a move.

This time, my warning should somewhat help the frontline.

When they arrive on the second day, Kana plans to persuade them again, urging them to start acting immediately after retreating here.

Don’t dawdle or delay; time is precious and waits for no one.

The enemy’s weapons are eager for their blood.

"Take a break; tomorrow, I will go to Riverbend Town and take a look."

The town’s residents definitely need to evacuate first, gathering them at the logging camp could also get them to help, and maybe we can prepare more rafts.

Once the decision to retreat is made, any more hesitation or delay will only harm oneself.

...

The next day, Kana and her group woke up early.

After everything at the camp was settled, Kana led everyone towards the town.

By around noon, they finally reached the town.

Upon arriving, Kana immediately sensed a tense atmosphere in the town.

It seemed many residents were already starting to pack up their belongings.

Kana found Jonel, who was busy at the time, directing the soldiers to patrol and make preparations.

Various military supplies were already prepared.

Seeing Kana arrive, he quickly stood up.

"Your Highness? Why are you here?"

Kana glanced around and casually asked, "Are you planning to continue confronting the Blood Race here?"

Jonel shook his head, "I don’t know. I’m only preparing according to the Count’s orders. The subsequent actions will be known only when the Count arrives."

Upon hearing this, Kana didn’t ask further, merely nodding to show understanding.

"But regardless, the residents in the town have to evacuate, right?

Why not have some of the prepared residents evacuate to the downstream logging camp? They could continue preparing, maybe getting more rafts ready in these few days," Kana suggested.

Hearing Kana’s suggestion, Jonel began to ponder, then discussed it with the quartermaster beside him. After a moment’s thought, he nodded slightly.

"No problem, Your Highness, I will attempt to send some residents to the logging camp first.

Please ensure their safety at the camp."

"Of course," Kana nodded.

This time, when coming to the town, she didn’t bring many people, only Alyris, Blake, and Bobo.

Blake began assisting Jonel in handling some town affairs.

Kana, on the other hand, took Alyris and Bobo for a stroll around the town.

They arrived at a small square in the town, where Kana casually found a place to sit down.

Sitting under the shade of a large tree, Kana propped her head, staring ahead.

After a while, Bobo couldn’t help but ask, "So... what are we doing here?"

She felt a bit perplexed.

Alyris also looked puzzled but remained quietly standing beside without asking any questions.

Kana didn’t answer, instead, looking at the sun in the sky.

The sun was already overhead, indicating it was noon.

"Waiting for people... waiting for non-existent people," Kana said blandly.

"Waiting for people?" Bobo scratched her head, puzzled.

But since Kana seemed to have a purpose, it was okay.

She found a spot nearby to sit down and took out her notebook to draw and write on it.

The townsfolk passing by occasionally glanced over, mainly looking at the big white rat writing and drawing in the notebook.

Bobo was used to it; no matter where she went, people always stared.

After a while, Alyris moved over to Bobo’s side, watching what she was writing.

A bit later, they started chatting in soft whispers, with Bobo showing Alyris some of her previous notes.

Kana, still staring blankly ahead, seemed to be waiting for something, uncertain what it might be.

"Will they come? Will they exist?" Kana dazedly stared ahead, inwardly questioning herself.

Here he was, zoning out, waiting for something, not really waiting for anyone specific but rather a group.

A group he once belonged to.

"Players."

Although Kana thought he lived in a real world.

Despite believing he might not find any hope or that it’s quite a long shot.
