Gamers of the Underworld

514 Prisoners“ Rewards

At the crossroad intersection outpost.

“Make haste, make haste. Come over here!”

The gamers of Eternal Kingdom were loading the Beetlemons with the NPCs.

Those were the soldiers of the Godly Kingdom who were captured at the Dark Portal. The gamers were there because of the mission given by the system:

[Mission Title: Lord Sherlock’s Prisoners

Mission Description: During the second Faction War, gamers of Eternal Kingdom gained final victory and triggered a huge Strange Encounter Mission. The gamers can transport the prisoners to Eternal Kingdom and exchange them for various rewards.

Mission Reward: The reward is proportionate to the number of captured prisoners and includes rare accessories, equipment, titles, gold coins, Reputation Points, and group benefits. Please browse the official website for detailed descriptions.

Mission Notes: The cunning Humans will ask you to release them and give you handsome rewards. Those are lies. They cannot provide any rewards. Only Lord Sherlock can give you rewards!]

“What kind of NPCs are they? Who wrote this lousy AI logic? If the prisoners cried and cursed at me, I could understand that, as that’s normal behavior. But it’s the first time I’ve seen a prisoner pleading for me to free him by protruding his backside.”

Peasant complained to the other gamers as he walked by a Beetlemon. He was frustrated.

“Since when did you learn to speak the language of the Victorians?” The gamers referred to the Surface World common language as the Victorian language. The captive soldiers of the Godly Kingdom also spoke this language, but the gamers of Eternal Kingdom couldn’t understand it.

“Do you need to learn? From their expressions and behavior, they want us to let them go,” Peasant said helplessly. The other gamers also shared their experiences of the NPCs begging for freedom and attempting to escape.

Besides transporting the NPCs to Eternal Kingdom, the gamers didn’t do anything to the prisoners. They stripped the soldiers of equipment and distributed the loot. They didn’t show any animosity to the captive soldiers.

Even if they wanted to attack the soldiers, the gamers couldn’t. Bru had changed the status of the soldiers from the Godly Kingdom to green, making them friendly units.

The soldiers were the private property of Sherlock, so how could the gamers touch them?

George sat on the Beetlemon that Peasant was walking next to. His hands and legs were bound with chains made of special Spider Silk, so he was unable to exert any strength.

Though George was a special NPC, his equipment was too tempting. The previous time his equipment was stripped, there were several pieces of Blue Superior Equipment and some pieces of Purple Legendary Equipment.

This time, George had awesome equipment. How could the gamers resist the temptation? It was like giving a water fountain to a person in the desert!

After George was captured, he was stripped of his clothing and equipment. He was only left with underwear. After all, he couldn’t possibly walk around naked.

Golden-haired George wouldn’t yield easily. He had experience interacting with the gamers of Eternal Kingdom from the last time he was a prisoner. Now he knew how to deal with them.

The only way to escape was to persuade the creatures of Eternal Kingdom to help him. The method was simple, lure them with handsome rewards.

However, George’s plan wasn’t successful.

When George, who was behind bars, proposed that the Orc guard let him go free in exchange for treasure and equipment, the Orc guard said with irritation, “You said that the previous time. After letting you go, I didn’t get anything. And now you’re trying to cheat me again. Do you think I’m a fool? You have to give me good stuff first!”

How could Golden-haired George offer anything? He only had his underwear. His clothes and equipment were all pillaged.

George had an ominous feeling. He knew he wasn’t going to be lucky like last time.

When the Beetlemon arrived at the crossroad intersection outpost, the surviving gamers of Victoria City tried to rescue them. George looked at the Victorians in tattered clothing. There were even some naked Victorians running over. They knew they were going to die, yet they looked happy. On the other hand, the creatures of Eternal Kingdom were full of disdain. They cursed and swore at the Victorians.

Though George couldn’t understand the Underworld language, he could roughly guess the meaning. They must have been frightened by the fearlessness of the Victorians!

...

In Eternal Kingdom Dungeon.

“Those loser Victorians are trying to rescue the prisoners. Even if they want to, they should have the proper equipment. Look at them, are they insulting us?” BurningChestHair said angrily to Arthur. While they were escorting the prisoners back to Eternal Kingdom, they encountered the suicidal Victorians many times.

“It’s not a loss to us. Let’s escort the prisoners to Eternal Kingdom. Then we can become the Guild with the largest number of escorted prisoners. There will be rewards for the Guild,” Arthur said to BurningChestHair.

After the end of the Faction War, the Gundam was returned to Eternal Kingdom as requested by the system. He didn’t join the Guild members in the battle because he had to complete this Strange Encounter Mission.

The thought of piloting the Gundam in the battle excited Arthur.

“Arthur, you’re awesome!”

NotWearingPants said admiringly, “If not for you, we would have lost.”

“Buddy, don’t say anymore. Let’s go and claim our rewards!”

Only Peasant rubbed his palms excitedly. He was going to claim their rewards after transporting the prisoners.
