Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
General s.h.i.+dan quickly led his troops to their camp. In the Victoria Forest, the conflict started by the Underworld creatures became more and more serious.
Though General s.h.i.+dan wanted to lead his army and kill those Underworld creatures, his aides persuaded him not to.
“General! We don’t know the situation in Victoria City. If we enter the forest, we could fall into the trap of the Underworld creatures. We should retreat to Golds.h.i.+re Town and send out our scouts before making any decision.”
Most of his aides had this thought. After careful consideration, General s.h.i.+dan decided to listen to his aides. He led the troops and retreated to the vicinity of Golds.h.i.+re Town.
Then he deployed his scouts to collect information. Since the Underworld creatures had appeared at the boundary of Victoria Forest, General s.h.i.+dan believed that Victoria City had fallen. It was hard to believe that the Victorians could hold their line in that situation.
The information collected by the scouts was much simpler than General s.h.i.+dan thought. There were a few Victorians in Golds.h.i.+re Town. The information provided by them gave General s.h.i.+dan a shock.
The Victorians in Golds.h.i.+re Town already knew General s.h.i.+dan was coming. When the scouts of General s.h.i.+dan came close, the residents of Golds.h.i.+re Town surrounded them.
The residents of Golds.h.i.+re Town were nervous. They were the citizens of Duke Guinevere in name, as the previous Duke of York was defeated by Victoria City, and the York Territory belonged to Victoria City. Now, a large army of the G.o.dly Kingdom appeared, and the residents felt uneasy.
Previously, the army of the G.o.dly Kingdom left, but they returned very soon. The residents of Golds.h.i.+re Town prepared their weapons just in case.
However, the Victorians were very excited. When they saw General s.h.i.+dan’s army, they leaped in joy and charged forward.
The residents of Golds.h.i.+re Town were shocked, but it wasn’t the first time they witnessed the wild behavior of the Victorians.
When the Wyvern appeared and attacked the pa.s.sersby of Golds.h.i.+re Town, the Victorians started hunting the Wyvern. However, many of them became food for the creature.
General s.h.i.+dan wasn’t wary of the Victorians who charged over. He sent an emissary to deal with them.
“Why are you here in Golds.h.i.+re Town?”
“Aren’t you here to deal with Eternal Kingdom?”
“Do you have any equipment to spare? I died a few times while fighting those Eternal pigs and lost two sets of equipment. Please spare me some equipment!”
The Victorians started shouting as they moved closer.
The Victorians already knew why the army of the G.o.dly Kingdom was there. They weren’t puzzled by the army coming from Victoria Forest.
General s.h.i.+dan guessed that the survivors of the previous battle spread the news of his arrival.
But that was too fast.
Though General s.h.i.+dan thought that it was incredible, he could only explain it this way. General s.h.i.+dan felt embarra.s.sed. After all, he abandoned the Victorians and fled. Instead, the Victorians were valiant. They charged against the Underworld creatures while shouting, “Leave quickly! We’ll cover your retreat!”
The valiant, self-sacrificing Victorians were a stark contrast to the cowardly army of General s.h.i.+dan.
The face of General s.h.i.+dan became red, and the Knights beside him felt embarra.s.sed.
The Victorians didn’t know about General s.h.i.+dan’s retreat. They welcomed General s.h.i.+dan’s arrival.
General s.h.i.+dan finally understood what happened.
Since Victoria City and Eternal Kingdom started the war, the offensive initiative was with Eternal Kingdom. The quality of their warriors and equipment was superior to that of the Victorians. Moreover, the gamers of Victoria City had to stay in the crossroad intersection outpost for a longer duration, so they were unable to stop the gamers of Eternal Kingdom from entering the Surface World. Why should the Victorians stop the gamers of Eternal Kingdom from coming to the Surface World?
They wanted the gamers of Eternal Kingdom to come to the Surface World so that the gamers of Eternal Kingdom would be far away from their Revival Point.
The gamers of Eternal Kingdom wanted to conquer Victoria City, but it wasn’t an easy feat. Lilo, the three Hamsters, Lancelot, and a large number of gamers were stationed in Victoria City. The gamers of Eternal Kingdom could only create trouble in the surrounding forest.
The skirmishes between Victoria City and Eternal Kingdom continued until the arrival of the army of the G.o.dly Kingdom.
TakeASpearHit spread the news of the arrival of the G.o.dly Kingdom’s army on the discussion forum. That was why the gamers of Eternal Kingdom were able to ambush them quickly.
The arrival of the G.o.dly Kingdom’s army was the turning point. If the army was able to join Victoria City, it was good news for both Eternal Kingdom and Victoria City.
The Victorians didn’t expect the G.o.dly Kingdom’s army to conquer Eternal Kingdom. They were after the supplies and materials brought by the G.o.dly Kingdom. Once the warriors of the G.o.dly Kingdom perished, the equipment would belong to the gamers!
That was what the gamers of Eternal Kingdom thought too.
All of the gamers felt that the G.o.dly Kingdom had sent them equipment. They were very welcoming towards the arrival of these NPCs.
General s.h.i.+dan didn’t know how the gamers viewed him and his army. He was listening intently to the intelligence report of Victoria City.
The conclusion was that Victoria City hadn’t fallen!
Then they couldn’t ignore the existence of Victoria City.
