“What? They’re dating? Is that a rumor?” NotWearingPants asked curiously. From his expression, it was his first time hearing that. He knew that Arthur was avoiding Sylvanas and thought that Arthur didn’t want Sylvanas to get too close. Arthur had never liked Sylvanas. Instead, Arthur had a better impression of Raintea.

Arthur wouldn’t take the initiative to develop his love life. To prevent awkwardness as friends, Arthur avoided Sylvanas as a subtle hint. That was what NotWearingPants thought. When he heard the rumor from Peasant, he became anxious. Did Arthur avoid Sylvanas so that Raintea wouldn’t misunderstand?

If that were the case, it would be a big problem. Sylvanas might not be able to accept the truth.

NotWearingPants didn’t expect things to develop so fast. He caught up with Peasant, who pondered and said, “I heard from someone else, and there’s no proof. If Arthur and Raintea are dating, then it’s easier to understand Arthur and Sylvanas’ behavior. Don’t you think so?”

“Nonsense. Don’t spread rumors. Let’s not be involved in this matter. I’ll ask Sylvanas not to harass Arthur. As a man, I’m sure Sylvanas won’t take our friendship for granted.”

Peasant said, “Brother Pants, do you think that Sister Vanas is a man?”

“Nonsense. Of course, Sylvanas is a man!”

Peasant nodded and remained silent.

After Peasant left, NotWearingPants pondered and sighed.

He only wanted to play a good game. Why were there so many troubles?

NotWearingPants reminded Peasant not to think too much, but he contacted Arthur immediately. He wanted to clarify things with Arthur.

NotWearingPants was direct with his questions, and Arthur replied frankly, “I’m not avoiding Sylvanas. I’m doing a secret Hidden Mission. Once the mission is completed, I’ll tell you.”

Hidden Mission? Secret Mission? NotWearingPants was puzzled. He wanted to probe further, but Arthur had decided to remain quiet. When asked about dating Raintea, Arthur denied it. Arthur had said that he wasn’t avoiding Sylvanas. Instead, he was doing a Hidden Mission and avoiding everyone.

NotWearingPants could only choose to believe Arthur’s words.

But NotWearingPants was still worried, as Sylvanas was holding a torch for Arthur. Sylvanas was a ticking time bomb. Even NotWearingPants could see that Arthur preferred Raintea and not Sylvanas.

This was a difficult test of their friendship.

The second Faction War erupted due to the numerous conflicts between the gamers of Eternal Kingdom and Victoria City.

This time, the gamers’ target wasn’t the crossroad intersection outpost, it was the Dark Portal controlled by the Victorians.

[Mission Title: Faction War Battle Campaign Stage Two

Mission Description: The conflict between Eternal Kingdom and Victoria City is irreconcilable. After the first stage of the Faction War, the Victorians took control of the crossroad intersection outpost. It’s time for a change in ownership. Eternal Kingdom shall attack the Dark Portal. Can Victoria City defend the Dark Portal against the attack of Eternal Kingdom?

Mission Objective: Gain control of the Dark Portal (From 7 pm to 10 pm).

Mission Reward: After the end of the Battle Campaign, the faction that is in control of the Dark Portal will receive a one-off reward and a Faction Teleport Portal that is connected to the Dark Portal.

Mission Notes: The benefits of the Victorians at the crossroad intersection outpost will be terminated.]

All of the gamers were excited because a Teleport Portal connected to the Dark Portal would decrease their journey time to the Surface World or the Underworld by half.

It was a great deal to the gamers who loved fighting.

A closer Revival Point meant that their reinforcements would arrive quicker. The conflict in the wilderness would be in their favor!

A battle in the wilderness meant more salvaged equipment. Hence, it was important for both factions to gain control of the Dark Portal.

Both factions gathered their forces to prepare for the Battle Campaign.

Before the Faction War started, both factions were already involved in numerous skirmishes. Eternal Kingdom had observers from Winterfell and other Dungeons, while Victoria City had observers from the Godly Kingdom.

The observers didn’t know the actual relationship between Eternal Kingdom and Victoria City. To them, it was an invasion. Whether it was Victoria City or Eternal Kingdom, they were the protectors of their worlds.

Though the other Dungeon Lords were moved, they didn’t intend to help Eternal Kingdom. The observers wanted the warriors of Eternal Kingdom to be at the frontline.

After being complimented by the King, General Shidan cleared the areas around Victoria Forest of the Underworld creatures from time to time.

He was fighting against the Underworld creatures that broke through Victoria Forest. General Shidan knew that the enemy was coming for him. All of these Underworld creatures were killed by General Shidan’s army.

General Shidan reported his victories to the King. To him, the war was smooth sailing until George rode his white horse and arrived before him with an escort of a large group of Victorians.

Though the Victorian in Goldshire Town described what George did and ate every day as though George was still alive, General Shidan believed that he was dead after being gone for so many days. General Shidan also thought that the Victorian was just trying to fleece him with the lies. The Victorian’s behavior was too weird for General Shidan to believe him.

When George appeared before him, General Shidan was shocked. However, he acted calm and welcomed George with open arms as he said, “Sir George, you’re still alive. I didn’t believe the people who told me you were dead. You are blessed by the Holy Lord!”

General Shidan looked excited, but Golden-haired George wasn’t excited. He dismounted from his horse and shouted to General Shidan, “It’s not the time to catch up on the battlefield. We need you to move the army to Victoria City. Those creatures from Eternal Kingdom are going to attack the Dark Portal!”

“Dark Portal?”

General Shidan was shocked. That was the only known portal that was connected to the Underworld.

“Wait, where did you obtain the information? Is it reliable? Could it be false information?”

General Shidan hesitated, thinking that George might be controlled by the Victorians. Those Victorian lunatics were capable of doing anything.

He didn’t believe the Victorians. He only wanted to stay at the boundary of Victoria Forest instead of venturing to the Dark Portal.

It was too dangerous. There was no guarantee that there wouldn’t be ambushes. Though the Victorians claimed they controlled the Dark Portal, General Shidan didn’t believe that the Victorians could defeat the Underworld creatures based on their willpower. He had fought with the Orcs in battle before. How could those 3-meter tall Orcs be defeated by the slender Victorians? Moreover, there was an endless stream of Underworld creatures. They were as countless as fleas.

But George spoke confidently, and General Shidan hesitated. The generals were divided into two camps, and they debated furiously.

“General, we can’t trust George. He disappeared for a long time. Who knows whether he’s being controlled by the Underworld creatures.”

“We sent so many scouts, but they were killed. Only George returned. It must be a trap.”

“We have to believe George. This concerns the future of mankind!”

What should General Shidan do?
