Chapter 503: Meeting for an Unresolved Problem
Though the battle was intense, Golden-haired George saw that the warriors from both factions weren’t nervous or fearful. The normal theory of the army collapsing due to casualties didn’t apply to them.
The incredible Victorians were frightening, while the Underworld creatures were naturally fearless warriors. Anything could happen in the Underworld.
The Underworld creatures were prepared, but the Victorians were more prepared and had an endless stream of reinforcements.
The Victorians were gaining the upper hand at the Dark Portal. After battling for three hours at about dawn, there weren’t many creatures of Eternal Kingdom appearing at the Dark Portal. The gamers of Victoria City had taken control of the Dark Portal that connected the two worlds, and they started to construct fortifications.
Huge rocks were used as defensive walls, while roadblocks were placed in front of the portal. There were various large-scale war machines, such as the gamer-made Catapults and Ballistas. They also had the Sacred Light Cannons that were taken from Count Steamed Dumpling.
The Sacred Light Cannons were powerful. The gamer of Victoria City learned how to charge the Cannons with the Power of Sacred Light from Grand Priest Baldhead. The Victorians had experienced the power of the Cannons, and now they were going to use them. A group of gamers who could use the Power of Sacred Light tried out the Cannons enthusiastically.
When a Cannon was fired, a large group of gamers from Eternal Kingdom and Victoria City would be vaporized. The gamers enjoyed the feeling of achievement and the rapid increase of their Honor Points.
Golden-haired George couldn’t understand the enthusiasm of the gamers, as he had gone through an unforgettable and vicious battle.
Though there were no corpses, there were flames burning on the battlefield. There were also numerous pits on the battlefield, which showed the intensity of the battle.
“All Guild members, gather! a.s.semble here at once!”
While George was feeling depressed watching the battlefield, someone behind him shouted loudly. The Victorians didn’t need to rest. Were they going to engage in a new battle? George was surprised. He looked back and saw the smiling and chatting Victorians gathering.
“Gosh, that’s awesome. I obtained two sets of Orc equipment!”
“I feel like I can obtain equipment faster in battles than challenging an Instance Dungeon!”
“Members of the Hoodlum Yoga a.s.sociation, make haste!”
Those Humans, Elves, and Fairies gathered near the person who was shouting. Though they weren’t disciplined, their efficiency was high.
Golden-haired George followed them. He wanted to ask what they intended to do. Did they not need any rest?
He was puzzled. There were booming sounds coming from the distance. In the dim tunnel, George observed a large group of creatures running towards them. He could guess that those were the Underworld creatures. Were those vile creatures attacking again?
George felt nervous and grasped his weapon tightly. His arm was sore after long periods of fighting, but the enemies were coming. It wasn’t the time to cower!
As he was pus.h.i.+ng past his body’s limit, he started trembling.
George wasn’t sure if he could survive the next battle. As a Knight, he couldn’t hide from the battle for world peace!
At the end of the tunnel, a group of Orcs, Goblins, Gnomes, and Houndhead Men riding on Darting Birds charged towards George and the Victorians.
The gamers of Victoria City screamed loudly as they charged towards the Darting Bird cavalry unit.
…
Patrick Star stumbled as he followed behind Brainiac. Around him were charging warriors of Eternal Kingdom. Patrick Star thought that he would only be observing small skirmishes with Senior Captain Cherry and Brainiac. But it turned out to be a full-scale battle.
“I didn’t expect the war to be so intense.”
Senior Captain Cherry didn’t expect the war to be at an advanced stage. Thousands of combatants collided. Those Surface World monsters even used their Cannons that were filled with the Power of Sacred Light to vaporize the warriors of Eternal Kingdom. That was correct. They were vaporized!
The warriors of Eternal Kingdom didn’t give up even when the odds were against them. They charged valiantly to retake the occupied Dark Portal.
Senior Captain Cherry had never seen such a brutal war before.
What made Senior Captain Cherry deeply shocked was that both factions deployed all of their warriors to fight from dawn until dusk. There was no intention to rest.
Patrick Star, Senior Captain Cherry, and Golden-haired George were engulfed in the brutality of war, and they trembled…
…
In the Winterfell Dungeon Lord’s office.
Nicholas sat before his office table and looked solemnly at the report. It was a report that had just arrived from Senior Captain Cherry.
Nicholas’s heart fell into a deep void after reading the report.
The content of the report was very detailed and grotesque. Nicholas was shocked by the great power of the Surface World monsters. It wasn’t a force from a n.o.ble or small town. To gain control of the Dark Portal, tens of thousands of warriors perished. Endless streams of reinforcements arrived from both sides, and the savage fighting was still continuing at that moment. Eternal Kingdom didn’t manage to take control of the Dark Portal.
Nicholas supported his chin with both of his palms. He looked gravely at his a.s.sistant and said, “Make haste. Send this letter to the headquarters of the Merchant Alliance! Inform all of the Dungeon Lords of the Northern Underworld. We are going to have an urgent meeting!”
