Chapter 387: Alley Fights
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Undead Ogres were unable to damage the Magic Cannons.
However, Brainiac could do more than controlling the Undead Ogres.
A gray mist engulfed the entire battlefield. Under the effects of Mana Wind, it drifted to the location of the Magic Cannons.
“Mist of Mana Negation!”
An Ogre shouted when he discovered the phenomenon, “s.h.i.+ft the Magic Cannons! The enemy is a legendary Lich! He’s releasing a Mana Negation Spell!”
A group of Ogres was busy moving the Magic Cannons, making it impossible to use them within a short period of time unless someone was able to neutralize the Mist of Mana Negation.
Morgan’s Mana was exhausted after firing the Magic Cannons, so he had no way to deal with the gray mist.
Though the Gundam was killing the Ogres and the gamers were continuously reviving, there was no change in the balance of power.
Morgan’s Ogre army was gaining a superior advantage. After demolis.h.i.+ng five portions of the Dungeon Wall, the torrential horde of Ogres flooded in. Even though the Gundam guarded one of the holes, the other four holes were undefended.
Soon, the Ogres charged into Eternal Kingdom.
Patrick Star ran for his life. There was an Orc, Peasant, beside him. During their escape, they introduced themselves.
“…it’s like this. I’m a young and ambitious Orc. Are you from the Winterfell press? Do you know the Dungeon Lord? He’s La.s.sie. Oh, Nicholas. We call him La.s.sie, it’s a pet name. It’s hilarious. Yes, your name sounds like that good friend of Spongebob Squarepants. Did you know that? Are you able to find a stable job for me in Winterfell? It’s hard to earn Magic Stones!”
The fleeing Orc was chatting nonstop. Patrick Star couldn’t understand how he was able to chat nonchalantly at such a critical time.
Patrick Star ran while holding a Magic Recording Device, capturing as much as he could on video. When the Gundam appeared, Patrick Star started recording.
Patrick Star felt excited when he saw the metal Robot. It was as though he had seen his life’s goal and ambition.
“Where are we going? Are we leaving by other exits?”
Patrick Star followed Peasant to a location filled with buildings and caves. It looked like the Living Quarters of Eternal Kingdom.
“Leaving? Where are we going? All of the exits were attacked, so we have no place to retreat. Do you wish for our homes to be destroyed by the Ogres? Impossible! I will never endure being cuckolded!”
Patrick Star couldn’t fully understand how the Ogres were related to Peasant being cuckolded. But wait, was his wife living in Eternal Kingdom? The Ogres wouldn’t do such a thing to an Orc.
“You haven’t sent your wife away? This is very dangerous!” Patrick Star said with concern.
“Wife? Wah, the NPC’s thinking is filthy. I’m referring to my furniture. I’ll not let them dirty my furniture!” Peasant said.
Many more Orcs, Houndhead Men, and Goblins ran from the depths of the Dungeon. They were revived after being killed.
Patrick Star was excited to see the crowd, thinking they were reinforcements. But he panicked when he saw that they were naked.
The gamers ran over and started speaking.
“Gosh, Peasant, we’re fighting valiantly on the frontlines, and you’re skiving here?”
“Is this NPC that reporter?”
“The one called Patrick Star?”
“I’m so envious. We’re being slaughtered by the Ogres like dogs, while you’re playing with the NPC and swindling his Magic Stones.”
“You were enjoying yourselves too. I saw you killing with joy.”
Patrick Star was puzzled. Were they fighting a Dungeon War?
Patrick Star knew what they were doing from their behavior.
They were here to prepare defenses.
They carried huge rocks and transported the Ballistas, Crossbows, and Bolts from the warehouse. They also gathered kerosene and torches.
The obstacle rocks were placed at the entrance to the Living Quarters. After the Dungeon Gate was damaged, the first location to be attacked was the Living Quarters. Behind the Living Quarters were the Teleport Portal Main Hall and the Dungeon Lord Main Hall. The gamers wanted to fortify the area to prevent the Ogres from advancing.
This location was very close to the Revival Point, and the terrain was good for defense. Most importantly, the wealth of the gamers was all located here!
A gamer shouted angrily, “I understand why the Dungeon was designed in such a manner! Our homes were placed at the Dungeon entrance to facilitate alley fights!”
It wasn’t the time to complain, as the Ogre army had arrived.
…
Sylvanas saw the Ogres scale the Dungeon Walls and tried her best to shoot arrows at them. There were no gamers at the base of the Dungeon Walls, only the Gundam, which was charging around on the battlefield.
An Ogre charged at Sylvanas with his huge Axe.
Sylvanas tore open her clothes and revealed the rows of Bladder Bombs underneath. She held a burning torch and shouted, “I’m earning lots of Reputation Points!”
The surviving gamers started shouting.
“Gos.h.!.+ Veteran Vanas, you can’t do that! My equipment!”
Sylvanas poked a hole in one of the Bladder Bombs and shoved a burning torch inside.
“BOOM—!”
The huge explosion killed Sylvanas and the surrounding Ogres within a 10-meter radius. Many more Ogres were flung from the Dungeon Walls, and they landed on a few unfortunate comrades.
But it was the only explosion.
…
Morgan noticed an explosion on a segment of the Dungeon Walls. It wasn’t the first time those strong-willed warriors of Eternal Kingdom detonated explosives. They had been throwing those disgusting Bladder Bombs down from the Dungeon Walls since the start of the war.
However, the power of the Bladder Bombs was limited in the face of tens of thousands of Ogres.
The Dungeon gate was conquered. Morgan believed that most of the elite forces were dealt with at the Dungeon Walls.
Though the Ogre army was weakened, it was still within acceptable limits. The ensuing battles would be easier.
Morgan was wary of that huge piece of moving metal. He had to get rid of it.
With the fall of the Dungeon Walls, the Mist of Mana Negation disappeared. The Lich had s.h.i.+fted his location.
Morgan looked at the charging Magic Cannons and smirked. There was very little time left for Eternal Kingdom!
“The power of the Great Devil that can be used to destroy the world is mine!”
…
The Dungeon War between Eternal Kingdom and Morgan didn’t affect the Surface World.
The sky was sunny and cloudless above Victoria City.
Lilo let the gamers prepare for war not to go underground but to stay in Victoria City.
“All warriors, get ready! Listen to my commands! The enemy will come from the Teleport Portals. Hold the defensive lines and kill them!” Lancelot shouted as he rode on his horse and checked the defenses of the gamers.
Compared to the casual Sherlock, Lilo was more stringent with the gamers of Victoria City. She ordered Lancelot to be the commanding officer and lead the attack on the invaders.
As for the enemy and the time that they would arrive, Lilo said, “I don’t know.”
Lilo knew that the enemy would exit from the Teleport Portal. Sherlock told her that, and her mission was to neutralize the attacks of the enemy.
Lancelot looked at the merry gamers. He intended to motivate them to fight against the enemy and be fearless, but these gamers were protected by the Lord. Even if they died, they could revive. Hence the words of motivation were redundant.
Looking at their happy faces, motivation wasn’t required.
The enemy was most likely coming from the Sighing Wilderness! The Teleport Portal was connected to the Sighing Wilderness, meaning that the evil creatures of the Underworld must be attacking Victoria City!
This was what Lancelot speculated.
The Teleport Portal s.h.i.+mmered with light.
Lancelot raised his s.h.i.+eld and readied his Short Sword. He inhaled deeply and saw the first Ogre charge out from the Teleport Portal.
The Ogre looked befuddled, appearing as though he had come to the wrong place. But he had no chance to return as more Ogres poured out…
…
The huge Airs.h.i.+p flew in the Underworld tunnel. Sherlock was on the Airs.h.i.+p and holding a map. Besides Sherlock, only Yoda was controlling the Airs.h.i.+p.
Before the Ogres surrounded Eternal Kingdom, Sherlock had left Eternal Kingdom and boarded the Airs.h.i.+p. Their target was Morgan’s Dungeon.
“Hmm… all according to plan,” Sherlock said as he observed the chaotic scene in Victoria City using a crystal ball.
