Gamers of the Underworld

532 Godly Kingdom“s Attack

General Shidan paced along the corridor of a room. He had assembled the remainder of his troops. Though many of his soldiers were captured by Sherlock, his remaining troops were sufficient to deal with the Victorians.

Due to some consideration, he didn’t inform the King. Instead, General Shidan made the decision to attack.

He didn’t inform the King because the King was angry with his loss. Before he could atone for his loss, he didn’t dare to antagonize the furious King. Who knew if the King would remove his General post?

His previous loss was nothing if he could bring the Little Fairy Princess back and capture the creatures of Eternal Kingdom as gifts to the King. He could redeem and bring honor to himself.

Though the thinking and plan were perfect, General Shidan wasn’t sure if he could defeat the Victorians, capture the creatures of Eternal Kingdom, and rescue the Little Fairy Princess.

“General, we have assembled the soldiers. We can set out anytime!”

General Shidan steadied himself and said with determination, “Set off!”

...

The gamers had never felt that NPCs could be such a great hindrance.

When the remnant soldiers of the Godly Kingdom set off from Goldshire Town, a few gamers informed Dragonborn. The other gamers also got to know about the news.

Dragonborn, Arthur, and his companions weren’t bothered. A few gamers went to collect intelligence on General Shidan’s soldiers and were chased away. They didn’t obtain any information.

When Dragonborn, Arthur, and his companions walked out of Victoria Forest, they saw the Godly Kingdom army.

Even though thousands of soldiers were captured by Eternal Kingdom, the Godly Kingdom army was still too formidable for the gamers.

Dragonborn tried to negotiate with the NPCs, but General Shidan noticed that Dragonborn was with the Underworld creatures and the two Fairies. One of the Fairies was shivering in fear. He was sure that the Victorians were colluding with the creatures of Eternal Kingdom.

“For the glory of the Godly Kingdom, kill these Human traitors!” General Shidan shouted loudly, and the soldiers of the Godly Kingdom charged at Arthur and Dragonborn while shouting fiercely.

The battle erupted without any recourse.

Normal people would feel hopeless, but the gamers weren’t normal people. When they saw the start of a battle, they weren’t fearful. In fact, they were happy to pillage the Green Excellent Equipment from the soldiers of the Godly Kingdom.

It wasn’t an easy feat to obtain equipment in this game. When the gamers of Victoria City heard about the battle, they immediately rushed to the battlefield.

But their numbers were inferior to the soldiers of the Godly Kingdom. Moreover, the gamers weren’t prepared and didn’t have a nearby Teleport Portal for reinforcements. Most importantly, the target of the soldiers was the Little Fairy Princess and the Underworld creatures.

The soldiers didn’t fight with the Victorians. Instead, they went for Arthur and his companions. The advantage of the gamers came from their attrition tactic, but the soldiers went for a blitz attack. The gamers were massacred by the well-trained soldiers. General Shidan didn’t show any mercy to the Victorians and didn’t consider them allies. He viewed the Victorians as enemies who colluded with the Underworld creatures.

Otherwise, how could the Victorians survive such a brutal war with the Underworld creatures? How could Victoria City remain unscathed in the middle of Victoria Forest? They must have colluded with the creatures of Eternal Kingdom.

General Shidan became angry at his thoughts. His soldiers suffered massive losses, and many of them were imprisoned in the Dungeon, perhaps unable to return to the Surface World and be reunited with their families. Yet the Victorians were still able to laugh happily even when coming face to face with death.

General Shidan grasped the hilt of his Sword tightly. It was because of them that he was in a precarious situation. If he didn’t turn the tide, the King would punish him, and everything would be too late.

He looked excitedly at his soldiers, who had pierced straight into the formation of the Victorians without much resistance and arrived in front of the Little Fairy Princess. The Orcs tried to stop the soldiers, but they were unable to defeat them. The soldiers who broke through the Victorians’ formation switched to blunt weapons. They didn’t intend to kill the Underworld creatures. This was according to General Shidan’s order. He wanted to capture the creatures alive and bring them back to the Godly Kingdom to stand trial.

If he could rescue the Little Fairy Princess and capture the Underworld creatures, his previous loss would be insignificant. He could deceive the King by saying that his troops suffered losses because they were trying to rescue the Little Fairy Princess.

Suddenly, he noticed that the soldiers who were fighting in the front came to a stop. Both sides held back, and the bloodbath halted. A horseman rode back to General Shidan and informed him about the frontline situation.

“What? The Little Fairy Princess followed the Underworld creatures of her own accord? Those Underworld creatures rescued her?”

General Shidan felt as though his brain was being hammered. He heard ringing sounds in his ears.

He weighed the pros and cons before coming to a decision solemnly.

“This must be one of their deceptions. Don’t believe them. Those Victorian traitors colluded with the creatures of Eternal Kingdom. They must be delaying for time, wanting us to release them.”

General Shidan shouted, “Shred them into pieces and bring back the Princess! Kill all of the Victorians, but capture the creatures of Eternal Kingdom alive! Don’t believe them, follow my previous plan!”

“Yes, General Shidan!”

The soldier rode his horse and returned to the frontline. The soldiers had surrounded the Victorians and Arthur’s group. When General Shidan’s order was carried out, Dragonborn and the Victorians would be killed, while the Princess, Arthur, and his companions would be captured.

General Shidan looked pleased as everything went according to his plan. After tens of minutes, his losses would be insignificant. Just when he thought there was no problem, the Orcs who were surrounded by the soldiers of the Godly Kingdom launched an attack. A few Orcs rode on their special Darting Birds, and a few Human horsemen followed them. They brought the Fairies towards the Fairies’ campsite and tried to break through the siege.

“D*mn! They’re delaying for time!” General Shidan shouted angrily. He was too far from the frontline, so he was unable to give his order straight away. The soldiers didn’t react in time to the Orcs that were breaking the siege. The group fled towards the Fairies’ campsite, leaving the soldiers of the Godly Kingdom in the dust.

In the chaos, General Shidan heard a sharp shriek above his head. A small Wyvern flew by above his head.

That was correct, it was a young Wyvern.

“Why is there a Wyvern?”

General Shidan was taken aback. He recalled that a young Wyvern was stolen by a Victorian who had green symbols above his head. He was enlightened. The Wyvern thief was among the Victorians!

He became confident. If he could capture these criminals and the young Wyvern, the King would definitely make him a Duke and award him a large piece of land.

General Shidan was very happy.

Arthur urged his Darting Bird to run faster towards the camp in front. There weren’t many Fairies because they had important tasks at Yggdrasill. The Princess was important too, but she couldn’t be compared to Yggdrasill. The Fairies who left Yggdrasill were loyal servants of the Princess. They might be lacking in numbers, but they were fiercely loyal to the Princess. They were supporting the critical Teleport Portal.

In the escape plan, the most difficult portion was going through the Dark Portal, and they thought they could take a breather after entering the Dark Portal. They didn’t expect to meet General Shidan’s army at the boundary of Victoria Forest. The NPCs didn’t give any warning, so the gamers thought that it was part of the Plot.

Arthur and his companions felt that it was unfair and thought that the difficulty level of the Strange Encounter Mission was too high. However, they couldn’t do anything to the Plot.

They only hoped to enter the Teleport Portal and travel to the forests of Yggdrasill. If they could enter the Fairies’ territory, they would be safe.

The soldiers of the Godly Kingdom were hot on the trails of Arthur and his companions. The Victorians tried to delay the soldiers, but the soldiers had no intention of engaging the Victorians. The targets of the soldiers were Arthur, his companions, and the Little Fairy Princess.

The pursuit lasted until Arthur’s group entered the campsite. The soldiers of the Godly Kingdom followed closely behind and charged in.

Some Fairies tried to stop the soldiers, but they were knocked unconscious by their blunt weapons.

According to General Shidan’s words, all those who stopped them from capturing the Underworld creatures were traitors, even the Fairies.

“Are these NPCs mad? Aren’t the Fairies their allies?” Sylvanas asked in surprise as she watched the chaos behind.

Sylvanas spoke in Mandarin. If she used the Underworld language, Dragonborn and the Victorians wouldn’t understand. TakeASpearHit said, “We don’t know, but a Fairy told us that they were allies with the Humans. These soldiers of the Godly Kingdom can help the Fairies.”

The creatures from the two worlds spoke in Mandarin. A Fairy at the side couldn’t understand the conversation. The anxious Fairy shouted at the Victorians, “What are you talking about? Go through the Teleport Portal. The soldiers are catching up!”

The creatures at the front had entered the Teleport Portal into the Fairies’ territory.

Raintea, who was following the Princess, walked in front of the Teleport Portal.

“You’ll go in first, Princess!” Raintea said to the Little Fairy Princess, but she didn’t go in.

The Little Fairy Princess hesitated and said to Raintea, “Are you going back to Eternal Kingdom? Leave with me. Eternal Kingdom isn’t suitable for you. Sherlock won’t let you off if he learns that you helped me escape.”

The Little Fairy was worried, but Raintea simply shook her head. She had decided not to leave with the Little Fairy. She wanted to stay in Eternal Kingdom and be with her friends.

Friendship with an NPC was important, but to Raintea, her friendship with the gamers was more important.

The Little Fairy nodded. She saw Raintea’s decision in her eyes and didn’t try to persuade her anymore. When the Little Fairy turned to enter the Teleport Portal, a ray of Sacred Light collided into the Teleport Portal.

The huge impact of the explosion pushed all the creatures into the portal.
