<Ding. The flag has been captured>
<Ding. War has ended>
"Huh? What happened? We didn't get the flag yet? How is the announcement here already?" The leading player of the Dragons of Justice division 4 looked confused.
"Oh maybe, we just needed to enter the base?" Someone suggested. Everyone had odd expressions on their faces as something did not feel right.
And before they could begin to guess further, another series of notifications rang loudly announcing the winners to everyone without leaving any remaining doubt for guesswork.
<Ding. The defending guild Crimson Abyss has won the war>
<Ding. The challenger guild Dragons of Justice has lost the war>
<Ding. Congratulations to all players of Crimson Abyss. The Kingdom awards 1 million gold coins to the valiant efforts of Crimson Abyss>
<Ding. The defeated guild Dragons of Justice guild has to pay a compensation of 5 million gold coins to the victor Crimson Abyss>
<Ding. Kingdom Announcement: Crimson Abyss is the first S-Rank guild to obtain victory in a guild war. This achievement will be forever etched in the halls of glory. An additional bonus of 1 million gold coins and 10,000 reputation points are rewarded to the guild>
<Ding. Realm Announcement: Crimson Abyss is the first S-Rank guild to obtain victory in a guild war. This achievement will be forever etched in the halls of glory. An additional bonus of 1 million gold coins and 10,000 reputation points are rewarded to the guild>
The notifications did not stop and continued ringing endlessly. All the players from the Dragons of Justice guild had an ashen expression on their faces.
The cake was right in front of them, but at the last minute, someone else had eaten it? What the hell was the meaning of this?
They had absolute control over all five paths of this battleground, so what happened?
And on the display, the answer to this question was dazzling brightly. Around the captured enemy flag, a group of players led by a fiery redhead danced triumphantly.
And on the enemy's base, everyone could clearly see a sixth path newly formed right through the middle of the poison forest.
It was a small and narrow path, probably enough for one person to walk through, but there it was, all clear and safe, with no poisonous trees or brambles hanging around.
What the hell? Everyone gaped at this sight with their mouths wide open.
As for how they managed to do it, no one knew the answer to this question. They only knew that the war had ended and Crimson Abyss was the one who had the last laugh.
The next second, the square displays once again disappeared, and one by one, all the players were kicked out of the battleground and teleported back to their respective guild residences.
Huzzah! The entire Crimson Abyss guild shouted at the top of their lungs! The whole guild residence became rowdy as everyone began celebrating without holding back.
This war was like a noose around their necks and now they have won it and struck it big! 7 million gold coins!
They were incredibly wealthy at the moment. Their guild was probably the richest guild in the entirety of the 'Evolution Online' game.
And other than what the notifications announced to the world, they also received additional benefits. Everyone got a shit ton of experience points as a bonus, and most of the core members of the guild leveled up multiple times, hitting Level 50 one after the other.
Alex, Shen Yue, Mei Mei, and almost three-fourths of the core members of the guild took back their positions on the ranking list, all hitting Level 50 gloriously.
It was a slap in the face to everyone, especially Dante, who had made a huge deal about the exp buff potions. While the Dragons of Justice guild members had sneakily hit Level 50 right before the guild war, Crimson Abyss had leveled up right in front of everyone's faces.
The entire player base fell into a huge uproar as they watched Crimson Abyss soar into the sky, taking back their overlord position. With this war, it has now been proved, without any doubt, that Crimson Abyss's position in the Gresh Kingdom was unshakeable.
And more shocking events occurred shortly thereafter.
The third S-Rank guild in the game, the Dragons of Justice, was unable to pay the required penalty for losing the war. The guild assets were immediately seized, and even the items owned by the players of the guild were instantly seized.
Everything was transferred to the Crimson Abyss guild residence, making the players ever more ecstatic. They were now dancing on the graves of their enemies, and no one was shy about it.
The whole world had seen them win a fucking guild war without Liam or Mia or Derek, the three heads of their guild. This was a huge achievement for everyone.
Everyone let loose completely, and all the players who did not become inner members of the guild were cursing their bad luck.
The war spoils were proudly displayed in the guild warehouse as no one had gotten around to splitting them up just yet. All of a sudden, there were several Epic-grade items, mounts, pets, gems, and even silk clothes, and such.
The Dragons of Justice were stripped clean of all the items, not leaving a single thing behind. No one expected the consequences of the war to be so brutal.
And to make matters worse, these items were all displayed in the guild warehouse for everyone to see. Except that they could only see them. Only the core members and the high council members had access to them.
Of course, Alex had already sent a notification that everyone who participated in the war would be generously rewarded, so everyone was looking forward to it.
With the perfect timing of this war, the all-time high reputation of Crimson Abyss, and lastly, the teleportation gates opening up, many players started migrating to the Gresh Kingdom just to apply to be a part of the Crimson Abyss guild. Applications started pouring in left and right.
Instead of fading away into obscurity as was anticipated, the guild effectively conquered the entire Kingdom with a single war!
