The gamers didnât stop Senior Captain Cherry from seeing Eggface. They even told Polio about Senior Captain Cherryâs request to see Eggface.
âWhat? Does that Senior Captain Orc want to see me? Why does he want to see me?â
Eggface was using his mouse and keyboard while listening to Polio. The computer screen before Eggface showed the Summonerâs Rift and the hero Ezreal, who was followed by Lulu. Eggface was confident at multitasking. His game character was fleeing while he was swapping windows and talking to Polio, all at the same time.
That was the gaming talent of a Black Dragon that a normal creature couldnât match.
Polio sat beside Eggface. He wasnât interested in Eggfaceâs game and was licking his paw continuously.
âI think itâs because of our war with Victoria City. The Surface World monsters look scary to those Orcs, especially when we are at full-scale war with Victoria City. The battle at the crossroad intersection outpost involves a few hundred warriors, so itâs natural that they are worried. They arenât like me. I fought a massive war on the Surface World together with Michelangelo,â Polio said nonchalantly.
Eggface wasnât aware that Polio was bragging. He continued to focus on his game.
âLord Sherlock didnât tell me how to handle this matter. I donât think I want to see Cherry.â
âHmm, I thought so. Let the Lich handle it.â
Polio said, âHeâs the best creature at handling diplomatic relations.â
âYes! Iâm going to play my game. Itâs your turn to lead the warriors to attack the crossroad intersection outpost.â
âI understand, I understand...â
...
While Eggface and Polio were talking in the Dungeon Lord Main Hall, Senior Captain Cherry was waiting outside. He waited for a long time, but he didnât meet Eggface. Instead, Brainiac appeared.
âDidnât I tell you? Youâre not to be involved in the war with the Surface World. Even if you look for Eggface, itâs useless. If you want to know more, you have to wait for Lord Sherlock to return,â Brainiac said without emotion.
Senior Captain Cherry wouldnât give up easily. He tried his best, but he didnât have much hope. A Lich was very obstinate. Since Lord Sherlock had given his order, Brainiac would definitely carry it out.
Did Cherry have to wait for Lord Sherlock to return before he could complete his mission? Cherry heard that Lord Sherlock had gone on a tour, and nobody knew when Lord Sherlock would be returning to Eternal Kingdom.
Just as Senior Captain Cherry was about to give up, Brainiac kept quiet for a moment before saying, âI understand. I didnât consider it carefully. Iâll arrange for you to survey the situation at the crossroad intersection outpost. As for sealing the Teleport Portal connected to the Surface World, you have to wait for Sherlock to return and make a decision.â
Senior Captain Cherry didnât expect Brainiac to relent. Though he didnât have permission to seal the Teleport Portal that was connected to the Surface World, he could return to the crossroad intersection outpost to survey the strength of the Surface World monsters. Perhaps he could find a chance to complete his mission.
Patrick Star wasnât going to miss this chance. He requested permission to follow Cherry to the crossroad intersection outpost.
This time, Brainiac would bring them to the outpost instead of the gamers.
...
At Goldshire Town.
General Shidan sat alone in his room while planning his next strategic move.
This room was rented from Goldshire Townâs mayor. Previously, Goldshire Town was part of the Godly Kingdom, so the Godly Kingdomâs army didnât have to pay rent. But now, Goldshire Town was part of Victoria City. The Godly Kingdom nearly fought with Victoria City over the York Territory. However, due to the invasion of the Underworld creatures, the Godly Kingdom didnât attack Victoria City. General Shidan was here to reinforce Victoria City.
General Shidan encountered a problem when he came to Goldshire Town.
He had to think of a way to contact Queen Victoria.
General Shidan had been staying in Goldshire Town for a few days, but no officials from Victoria City had contacted him. He tried to convey his intention to Queen Victoria via the commoners of Victoria City.
However, General Shidan had yet to receive any replies. He thought of sending out his scouts to collect intelligence or his Knights to follow the Victorians into the forest to survey the battle situation.
But all of his attempts failed. His deployed scouts failed to return. Even the Knights that followed the Victorians into the forest were killed halfway.
Once, a scout managed to return with serious injuries. He told General Shidan about the Orcs and Underworld creatures that infested the forest, so General Shidan became very cautious about going inside.
General Shidan was thinking of a solution to obtain the intelligence of Victoria Forest.
He couldnât afford to stay in Goldshire Town for a long time, as the army required food and lodging.
As General Shidan was getting worried, George walked outside his room and identified himself to the guards. He was invited into the room.
General Shidan snapped out of his worry when he saw George walk into his room. He stood up and wiped away the saliva that he drooled while he was in a daze. He asked George solemnly, âSir George, what matters do you have at this hour?â
George was taken aback. He looked at the hot sun outside before asking respectfully, âGeneral Shidan, did you sleep last night?â
General Shidan was dumbstruck. He looked outside the window, then covered his forehead and said, âAh, itâs already daytime. I didnât expect myself to be thinking throughout the night.â
âIâm full of respect for General Shidan. I shouldnât be disrupting your rest, but I have a matter to discuss with you.â
George walked forward and whispered to General Shidan, âAccording to my intelligence, every time we sent someone to follow the Victorians into the forest, the Underworld creatures would be informed. There is a mole among us. The Victorians looked for me just now and said to be prepared. They have gathered a large group of people to bring us into the heart of Victoria City!â
General Shidan jumped up in surprise and said, âReally?â
General Shidan was in shock. He quickly considered the fact that it could be a trap set by the Victorians. It could be a trap set by the Humans who betrayed Victoria City.
If they didnât make use of this chance, it would be lost, and they would have to wait for a long time. They didnât have much time left.
