Gamers of the Underworld

Before General Shidan decided whether or not to believe George, George helped General Shidan make a decision.

“General Shidan, I have spoken to the King, and he agreed with my decision. We have to unite with the Victorians!”

When General Shidan heard what George said, his expression changed.

“Wait, are you saying that you contacted the King? What did you say?” General Shidan asked anxiously. George wasn’t aware of General Shidan’s anxiety. He told General Shidan what he had said to the King.

George spoke in detail about what the Victorians encountered and their war with the Underworld.

The creatures of Eternal Kingdom were about to attack the important Dark Portal. The only way to stop the vile creatures was to unite with the Victorians and fight against them.

“General Shidan.”

Golden-haired George said solemnly, “It’s not the time to hesitate. Like the King said, the fate of the Humans rests in our hands. We have to fight them!”

…

In a dim tunnel, the endless stream of an army marched at a chaotic pace. A group of gamers from Eternal Kingdom were armed with various pieces of Superior Equipment as they marched in a disorderly formation.

These were the unaffiliated gamers and Guild members who formed the army. To avoid being stopped by the Victorians at the crossroad intersection outpost, they assembled two hours beforehand at Eternal Kingdom before setting off towards the outpost.

To gain control of the Dark Portal, they had to occupy the crossroad intersection outpost. It was a very disadvantageous situation for the gamers of Eternal Kingdom.

The goal of the gamers was to gain control of the crossroad intersection outpost. At the very least, they had to create a blockade of the outpost to prevent Victorian reinforcements from reaching the Dark Portal.

When the Faction War started, the Teleport Portals at both the crossroad intersection outpost and the Dark Portal couldn’t be used. As the crossroad intersection outpost was a safe zone, whoever arrived at the crossroad intersection or the entrance would gain the upper hand.

The reason the gamers of Eternal Kingdom didn’t teleport to the crossroad intersection outpost and move out from there was that the Victorians had blockaded the exits of the outpost. The Victorians had gained control of the outpost, and it wasn’t wise for the gamers of Eternal Kingdom to fight with them there.

“Brother Pants, have you discussed things with Big Boss Arthur? Will he be joining the battle tonight? We’re all waiting for him,” an Orc asked NotWearingPants.

Everyone looked at NotWearingPants, wanting to know the answer.

NotWearingPants didn’t hesitate and said, “I’ve talked to Arthur. He said he’ll not miss such an important battle. He has been missing from the Guild activities these past few days because he had other matters to attend to. Please don’t be bothered.”

NotWearingPants gave a diplomatic answer, and the gamers nodded with understanding. Though Arthur wasn’t able to turn the tide of war, his presence boosted the morale of the other gamers.

He was the most powerful gamer in Eternal Kingdom. His status was almost like that of a hero.

The army of Eternal Kingdom arrived at the boundary of the crossroad intersection outpost. There were many Victorians stationed at the outpost entrance. A few gamers of Eternal Kingdom tried to dash into the outpost, but they were stopped by the Victorians who had gained the upper hand.

The Victorians weren’t aware of some big-sized gamers of Eternal Kingdom flanking their rear positions.

It was almost 7 pm, and the second Faction War Battle Campaign was about to commence.

None of the gamers went offline. They had already had their dinner. Those who didn’t have dinner had to go hungry. In this battle, the winner would gain control of the Teleport Portal that was connected to the Dark Portal. To the gamers, this was of utmost importance.

NotWearingPants focused his attention on surveying the situation at the crossroad intersection outpost. It was a critical location for the ensuing battle. If he could get rid of all the Victorians at the outpost, then the Victorians wouldn’t be able to reinforce the Dark Portal. There were at least 1,000 Victorians stationed at the outpost.

The Guild Chairmen of Eternal Kingdom gathered to discuss their plans. When it was 7 pm, they decided to launch their attacks on these Victorians.

Patrick Star, Senior Captain Cherry, and other Dungeon observers followed the gamers. Patrick Star was a news reporter, while Senior Captain Cherry was Winterfell’s observer.

“Is this Eternal Kingdom? It doesn’t seem like what I’ve heard.”

One of the Orcs was a Dungeon observer. He had a condescending attitude because he noticed that the warriors of Eternal Kingdom were ill-disciplined. He felt that he could defeat three of the warriors easily. He was puzzled about how the inferior warriors of Eternal Kingdom could defeat so many powerful adversaries within a short time. Even the successors of Eternal Fire were defeated and imprisoned in Bankazia.

If the victories of Eternal Kingdom hadn’t occurred, the Orc would have believed that the capability of Eternal Kingdom was overrated.

The Orc would like to be respectful of the warriors that were at the frontline fighting the Surface World monsters. They were incredibly fearless and valiant. However, after witnessing the quality of the warriors, he couldn’t respect them.

Though the other observers didn’t speak their minds, they agreed with the Orc. Only Patrick Star and Senior Captain Cherry thought otherwise. They had fought together on the same side. Senior Captain Cherry had witnessed the incredible combat power of the warriors in Winterfell. At the Black Volcano battle, the warriors defeated Phoenix, who was a minion of Michelangelo.

Even now, it was unknown whether Phoenix was dead or alive.

Patrick Star and Senior Captain Cherry didn’t say anything to the gamers of Eternal Kingdom because they were certain that the observers would change their minds about the warriors after the battle.

They didn’t know when the battle would start. They thought that the battle would start soon, as they had arrived at the outpost, and the Victorians hadn’t detected them yet. However, the warriors of Eternal Kingdom seemed to be waiting for something. Patrick Star and Senior Captain Cherry didn’t understand and dared not ask. Everyone waited patiently.

At 7 pm, the gamers of Eternal Kingdom charged out. They didn’t have any plans, merely screaming and charging at the Victorians. The observers all gaped in astonishment. Patrick Star took out his Mana Recording Device to capture what followed. The Victorians didn’t panic. They spoke in a language that the observers didn’t understand. They then charged at the warriors of Eternal Kingdom. Both sides collided, and the intense fighting made the observers shiver with chills. The fighting was extremely cruel and savage. Even the most battle-hardened warrior of the Underworld would shiver with fright.

They had never seen anyone battle so intensely. Even when a combatant’s hands were chopped off, he would still use his mouth to bite the enemy’s metal shoes. Even when a combatant’s body was pierced, he would grab the enemy to create a chance for his comrade to kill the enemy.

There were too many instances of such brutality and strong willpower. The observers gaped in astonishment, their condescending attitudes vanishing. Instead, they were filled with the utmost respect for the warriors.

The monsters from Victoria City were as frightening as they had imagined, while the warriors of Eternal Kingdom were as valiant as the legendary heroes. The warriors sacrificed their lives for the peace of the Underworld. They were too incredible.

That was what the observers thought.
