Like Golden-haired George thought, the gamers of Eternal Kingdom were coming for him.
There were no secrets among the gamers, especially when a large Godly Kingdom army was stationed at Goldshire Town. Victoria City and Eternal Kingdom would definitely know about the location of the Godly Kingdom’s army.
The gamers of Victoria City were thinking of assimilating the NPC army into their faction. It would be even better if they could get their hands on the army’s supplies and equipment. The gamers weren’t very concerned about having the Knights fight for them.
That was what Eternal Kingdom thought too. They were after the army’s equipment, horses, and other war supplies. That was why gamers of Eternal Kingdom kept appearing around Victoria Forest. They wanted to attack Golden-haired George to terminate the Strange Encounter Mission triggered by him. Who knew whether George would meet Queen Victoria the second time and form an agreement to hand over the supplies to the Victorians? If that was the case, the Victorians would have a windfall.
Golden-haired George didn’t know about this. He only witnessed countless Underworld creatures attacking his escorts. Even the forest was filled with those creatures who would charge at him recklessly.
Though the Victorian dogs gave assurances that everything was fine and soothed his fears, how could he not feel frightened? Even the battle-hardened George sweat when the never-before-seen creatures charged at him.
That was even with George being mentally after being captured by the Underworld creatures before.
“Don’t worry, everything is going according to our plan,” SealHeadLingChong comforted the worried George. Right at that moment, a group of Orcs leaped out from the forest. They were riding strange Darting Birds while wielding various weapons. They were screaming wildly as a volley of arrows flew out from the forest towards George and the Victorians.
“Protect George. Don’t let the Eternal pigs get to him!”
“More enemies are coming. Pay attention to our left flank!”
Before the Orcs reached George, lots of Humans surrounded him from all directions. They were using their bodies, acting as Human shields to brace against the sword and arrow attacks. The Humans sacrificed themselves to protect George from harm.
This wasn’t the first time the Victorians protected George. In prior battles, those Victorians sacrificed their lives to protect George. Otherwise, he would have been killed by the Underworld creatures.
The intense battle lasted for an hour, and the Victorians protected George along the way. George was escorted from Goldshire Town into the depths of Victoria Forest. Every time a Victorian died, there would be more Victorians joining his escort team. They arrived in a continuous stream as though there was no end to it. George recalled the memories of him fighting the Victorians.
During that time, he was facing an unlimited number of Victorians. His Knights had the upper hand at first, but as the battle dragged, the Victorians were like an endless stream of cockroaches that couldn’t be terminated. Finally, George and his Knights were overwhelmed.
The Victorians were now using the same tactic to fight against the Underworld creatures. Death wasn’t a problem for them. Instead, it was an honor. However, they were very concerned about their comrades’ equipment. Whenever their comrades died, they would gather the equipment solemnly after the battle.
George thought that the Victorians were collecting the equipment as mementos. However, when fresh Victorians rejoined the team, they would give the equipment to the new Victorians. They would use the equipment without hesitation. Though they were ill-disciplined, they showed the qualities of a powerful warrior during combat.
George respected the Victorians. After these battles, they arrived at the entrance of Victoria City. George saw Sir Lancelot and a huge Hamster standing by the entrance.
Lancelot and the Hamster were waiting for their warriors at Queen Victoria’s order.
They were aware of the movements of the gamers. Queen Victoria already ordered the three Hamsters to refuse entry to Victoria Forest to the Godly Kingdom’s army. To Lilo, the battle with Eternal Kingdom was only a pre-planned military exercise.
She didn’t have a good impression of the people from the Godly Kingdom. But the gamers of Victoria City didn’t care about Lilo’s order. She neither assigned the gamers missions nor gave them rewards. Hence, the gamers didn’t give importance to what she said.
When Lilo heard that the gamers were in contact with the Godly Kingdom, she was very angry. But after consideration and hearing that there was only George, and after receiving a letter from Sherlock, she relented. Lilo nodded and allowed Big Boss Hamster and Lancelot to receive him.
The aim was simple, to allow Golden-haired George to witness the military exercise between Eternal Kingdom and Victoria City.
That was Sherlock’s idea, and Lilo wasn’t sure why that was so. However, she didn’t mind if that would help her plan of conquering the Heavenly Kingdom.
