“Ah—!”

Screams rang beside his ears. Dragonborn placed his arms tightly behind the Shield and pushed it to the front.

His other hand wielded a long Pike. This was the strong request from Lancelot, who said, “Though you are favored by God, according to the requirement of the Duchess, you have to reduce your casualties. Brace yourselves, and don’t let the Duchess down!”

Though Lancelot said this, it was the Mission Reward that made the gamers form a defense line with their Shields and Pikes.

When the battle started, the Ogres charged out, and the gamers’ formation came into effect. At least they didn’t collapse like the gamers in Eternal Kingdom. Though the gamers were being mowed down rapidly, losing two to three front rows, they held their ground.

“Pom!”

A huge Club smashed down heavily on Dragonborn’s Shield, and he slid back with his body cowered. The slanted angle of the Shield deflected most of the impact of the Club. If he braced for full impact, his arm would be broken.

Two long Pikes thrust out from the side and stabbed the Ogre that attacked Dragonborn. The arm of a Human beside Dragonborn was smashed by a Club. He had just put down his Shield when an Ogre plucked him by his head and threw him to the back.

An Ogre commanding officer stood on the front line and shouted at the Ogres, “Don’t retreat! The Teleport Portal is one-sided, you fools! Break the defensive line of the d*mned Humans!”

The gamers of Victoria City couldn’t understand the Ogre, but it was obvious that he was the commanding officer.

Dragonborn observed the location of the Ogre commanding officer. He was very near.

“Dragonborn!” TakeASpearHit suddenly shouted, “I have a plan!”

Dragonborn was distracted, and an Ogre smashed down with his Hammer. Fortunately, Dragonborn evaded the Hammer. Afterward, another gamer took his position on the front line as he fell back.

“Don’t tell me that you have a good plan to kill that commander.”

SealHeadLingChong moved to join Dragonborn and TakeASpearHit after he saw TakeASpearHit being forced out from the front line.

It was easy to retreat from the front line, as every gamer wanted to be in the front row.

“How did you know? Don’t say anymore. My plan is perfect. I have two Bladder Bombs. We can use one Bladder Bomb to kill the Ogre that is blocking the commander. The explosion will stun the commander, and we can make use of that chance to charge at him. You two will cover me while I charge with my Pike. He will hack at me with his Axe, and I will dodge elegantly.”

TakeASpearHit dodged, which was a rapid retreat to his left.

“Wait, why are you so sure that the Ogres will be stunned?” SealHeadLingChong asked.

TakeASpearHit rebuked, “Of course they will be stunned, don’t interrupt me! The Axe will land close to me, but I’ll not be hurt. The commander won’t be able to retrieve his Axe in time and will lose his balance. I will then charge and attack his waist. He won’t die with just that, but then I’ll draw out my precious Sword!”

TakeASpearHit unsheathed his Longsword and said, “I will leap and grab his neck with one hand while stabbing at his throat with my Sword!”

“Why do I feel like this is a familiar scene?” SealHeadLingChong looked troubled.

“Don’t mention the incident with the Ancient Gods army! I’ll not fail this time!” TakeASpearHit shouted, “I will make it big this time! The entire forum will talk about my feat!”

“I think it’s worth a try.” Dragonborn nodded and agreed with TakeASpearHit’s plan.

SealHeadLingChong had no reason to disagree.

It was time for TakeASpearHit to showcase his skills.

He took out two fused Bladder Bombs from Eternal Kingdom.

“Let’s go!” TakeASpearHit shouted valiantly as he ignited the fuses and charged into the crowd, saying, “Give way!”

He shouted while tossing the Bladder Bombs towards the front.

The two Bladder Bombs flew over the heads of the crowd and landed in the midst of the Ogres before detonating.

The explosion threw the Ogres to the ground, and even those intact Ogres at the sides were stunned.

“Take action now!”

TakeASpearHit shouted and charged at the commander as he said, “Cover me, Dragonborn! SealHeadLingChong!”

Dragonborn and SealHeadLingChong followed behind TakeASpearHit’s charge.

The shockwave of the explosions created a small time window for TakeASpearHit to charge forward with his Pike. The Ogre commanding officer saw three daring and howling Humans charging at him. He was furious because the destination of the Teleport Portal was different from what he expected. He wanted to retreat, but the Teleport Portal was one-sided. They were sent to an unknown location, and they had no way to return.

Their original mission was to teleport to the interior of Eternal Kingdom, where they would start the destruction and disable the Dungeon. That was their goal!

They weren’t here to kill Humans, Fairies, and Elves!

The Ogre commander was angry because the Humans were looking down on him. The puny Humans dared to charge at an Ogre?

He lifted his heavy Axe and faced the three Humans as he shouted to the other Ogres, “Give way! I’ll eat the three of them!”

The Ogres formed a circle to let the commander show off.

The Ogre commander slashed the heavy Axe on the ground, his dominant aura overwhelming the three Humans.

“I’m charging!” TakeASpearHit shouted and picked up his pace. He raised his Pike and focused. The Ogre commander lifted his huge Axe and hacked at him.

Now!

There was a glint in TakeASpearHit’s eyes, and his feet shifted as he leaped to the left. The Axe landed squarely on his shoulder and split him in half. TakeASpearHit was immobilized, and he moaned twice before dying.

“Shuuuucks! That silly dude!” SealHeadLingChong cursed, but he discovered that the commander’s Axe was stuck in TakeASpearHit’s body!

He shouted, “Dragonborn, take action now!”

Dragonborn knew that it was the opportunity of a lifetime.

He unsheathed the Crimson Sword with trailing crimson afterimages.

Leaping sky high, he used his hand to grab the armored scale on the commander’s throat. At the same time, his other hand stabbed the Crimson Sword into the commander’s throat.

The Ogre commander backed up in disbelief. The Sword in his throat prevented him from making any sound. His hands that were holding the huge Axe relaxed, and he spurted fresh blood while his face became an ominous red. Then, he knelt down on one knee.

Dragonborn released his hand and rolled on the ground to make a safe recovery. Immediately after, the Ogre commander collapsed to the ground and remained motionless.

Dragonborn stepped on the head of the Ogre commander and yanked his Crimson Sword from the Ogre’s throat.

Besides the wild cheering of the gamers, he was met with the furious roars of the charging Ogres.

...

The Ogres from the Ogre Fortress occupied the Sighing Wilderness that was beside the outposts of Victoria City and Eternal Kingdom.

The Teleport Portal of Victoria City was destroyed, while the Teleport Portal of Eternal Kingdom was kept intact. The Ogres didn’t know that the destination of the Teleport Portal was Victoria City instead of Eternal Kingdom.

While the Ogres were entering the Teleport Portal, an invisible Airship was in the sky above the Ogre Fortress. After the flashing of Mana, Mana cannon shots blew off the top of the Ogre Fortress.

The Ogres that were gathered at the Teleport Portal dispatched a team to return to the Ogre Fortress.

Sherlock extended his wings and descended through the rooftop cavity, his black bat wings flapping rapidly.

Gray dust surrounded Sherlock as he used the lift from his wings to land steadily on the ground.

It was pitch black, with only a pair of yellow eyes staring at Sherlock.

“Greetings, Polio. Didn’t I tell you to be obedient? Yet you colluded with Morgan. As your master, I’ll have to teach you a lesson,” Sherlock said with a smile.
