In Victoria City, which was located at the Moonlight Forest.

The gamers of Victoria City had cleared 1/4th of the Moonlight Forest. Only 1/24th of the area was developed from the center, so it looked normal from the boundary of the forest.

When General s.h.i.+dan arrived at this desolate place, he surveyed the quiet plain outside the forest. He was puzzled. Was this the Victoria City that defeated the Duke of York?

Weren’t the defenses too lax? Were there hidden defenses in the forest?

Normally, the plains outside the Victoria Forest were good locations for defending. They could use the complex terrain of the forest to attack the enemies that entered the plains.

If a few Cannons were deployed, n.o.body would dare attack from the plains. If the enemies entered the forest, there would be even more casualties.

There were no Cannons being deployed. There weren’t even Victorian scouts patrolling the boundary of Victoria Forest.

General s.h.i.+dan couldn’t understand the Victorians. Did they not need to prepare their defenses?

“General s.h.i.+dan, this is the Victorian’s tactic. Please believe me, there are no ambushes in the forest.”

George recounted his combat experience with the Victorians to General s.h.i.+dan.

He was previously leading his Knights on the plains outside Victoria Forest and intended to charge inside and kill all of the Victorians.

He expected victory, but the ending wasn’t what he expected. The warriors of Victoria City didn’t place any ambushes. Instead, they charged chaotically out from the forest like students who were out on an excursion. There was no discipline and no tactical formations.

George and his Knights were defeated by the warriors of Victoria City in this manner.

General s.h.i.+dan was behaving like George did before he was defeated.

“It’s not a problem regardless of whether the Victorians have placed their defenses. We’re not here to attack them. Instead, we’re here to help them fight the Underworld creatures. This is a glorious mission. Even the most foolish person wouldn’t decline our help.”

General s.h.i.+dan didn’t have the worries of George. He sent out scouts to gather intelligence and to contact the Victorians.

He had just given his order when he saw a man walk out of the forest.

He was a citizen of Victoria City, evident by the green symbols above his head.

According to logic, he would flee when he saw so many troops gathered outside the forest. But he didn’t escape. Instead, he walked towards the troops.

“Send out an emissary to find out what’s going on,” General s.h.i.+dan said to his aide.

A pair of hors.e.m.e.n came out from the formation. The leader was Steamed Dumpling.

Steamed Dumpling came before the man and looked down on the Victorian, who looked excited. He didn’t speak. Instead, he waited for the hors.e.m.e.n to ask questions.

“Victorian, I fought with your greatest warrior in the York Territory. Perhaps you don’t recognize me…”

Steamed Dumpling was interrupted by the Victorian, who said, “I know you. I cut off your horse’s leg, and you decapitated me.”

The situation was very awkward.

Steamed Dumpling was defeated by the Victorians. It was humiliating for him when the Victorian said that.

What could Steamed Dumpling do? The Victorian stated the truth.

“I’m not here to fool around. Though you defeated me once, I’m not here to fight you. The situation last time was complex. Do you understand my meaning?”

Count Steamed Dumpling wanted to subtly show that he wasn’t defeated directly by the Victorians. He saw the hopeless situation and chose to retreat.

n.o.body was at the scene except for George.

But George wasn’t present. The Victorian who claimed he was decapitated by Steamed Dumpling wasn’t reliable. How could a dead person revive and speak?

Steamed Dumpling looked around, but n.o.body rebuked him. The Victorian nodded and showed his approval.

“Good, I’m representing the G.o.dly Kingdom, and the army before you is from the G.o.dly Kingdom. We know you’re fighting against the Underworld creatures. We’re not here to attack you. We want to help you fight against the Underworld creatures,” Steamed Dumpling said righteously. The Knight beside him braced his chest and looked proud. It was a rare chance for a Knight to fight against the legendary Underworld creatures.

They could be like what was written in the history books. That was to fight evil for the glory of the Human race.

But the excited Victorian wasn’t interested in receiving help.

He was taken aback. Then he said, “You aren’t here for a battle? Are you sure? You came all the way here, and you’re not attacking us? Instead, you’re attacking Eternal Kingdom. Are you giving your equipment to Eternal Kingdom?”

Steamed Dumpling noticed that the Victorian was disappointed. The Victorian sighed and said, “You’re at my doorstep, and yet you’re not attacking us. It’s a pity.”

The Knight beside Count Steamed Dumpling was bewildered. Did the Victorian feel that it was a shame?

“I think you’re mistaken. We’re not here to provide equipment to Eternal Kingdom. We’re here to provide equipment to Victoria City. Lots of materials and equipment are required to fight against the Underworld creatures. I know you need them.”

The eyes of the Victorian lit up immediately.
