The gamers didn’t stop Senior Captain Cherry from seeing Eggface. They even told Polio about Senior Captain Cherry’s request to see Eggface.

“What? Does that Senior Captain Orc want to see me? Why does he want to see me?”

Eggface was using his mouse and keyboard while listening to Polio. The computer screen before Eggface showed the Summoner’s Rift and the hero Ezreal, who was followed by Lulu. Eggface was confident at mult.i.tasking. 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 couldn’t match.

Polio sat beside Eggface. He wasn’t interested in Eggface’s game and was licking his paw continuously.

“I think it’s 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 it’s natural that they are worried. They aren’t like me. I fought a ma.s.sive war on the Surface World together with Michelangelo,” Polio said nonchalantly.

Eggface wasn’t aware that Polio was bragging. He continued to focus on his game.

“Lord Sherlock didn’t tell me how to handle this matter. I don’t think I want to see Cherry.”

“Hmm, I thought so. Let the Lich handle it.”

Polio said, “He’s the best creature at handling diplomatic relations.”

“Yes! I’m going to play my game. It’s your turn to lead the warriors to attack the crossroad intersection outpost.”

“I understand, I understand…”

…

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 didn’t meet Eggface. Instead, Brainiac appeared.

“Didn’t I tell you? You’re not to be involved in the war with the Surface World. Even if you look for Eggface, it’s useless. If you want to know more, you have to wait for Lord Sherlock to return,” Brainiac said without emotion.

Senior Captain Cherry wouldn’t give up easily. He tried his best, but he didn’t 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 n.o.body 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, “I understand. I didn’t consider it carefully. I’ll 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.”

Senior Captain Cherry didn’t expect Brainiac to relent. Though he didn’t 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 wasn’t 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 Golds.h.i.+re Town.

General s.h.i.+dan sat alone in his room while planning his next strategic move.

This room was rented from Golds.h.i.+re Town’s mayor. Previously, Golds.h.i.+re Town was part of the G.o.dly Kingdom, so the G.o.dly Kingdom’s army didn’t have to pay rent. But now, Golds.h.i.+re Town was part of Victoria City. The G.o.dly Kingdom nearly fought with Victoria City over the York Territory. However, due to the invasion of the Underworld creatures, the G.o.dly Kingdom didn’t attack Victoria City. General s.h.i.+dan was here to reinforce Victoria City.

General s.h.i.+dan encountered a problem when he came to Golds.h.i.+re Town.

He had to think of a way to contact Queen Victoria.

General s.h.i.+dan had been staying in Golds.h.i.+re 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 s.h.i.+dan 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 s.h.i.+dan about the Orcs and Underworld creatures that infested the forest, so General s.h.i.+dan became very cautious about going inside.

General s.h.i.+dan was thinking of a solution to obtain the intelligence of Victoria Forest.

He couldn’t afford to stay in Golds.h.i.+re Town for a long time, as the army required food and lodging.

As General s.h.i.+dan was getting worried, George walked outside his room and identified himself to the guards. He was invited into the room.

General s.h.i.+dan 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, “Sir George, what matters do you have at this hour?”

George was taken aback. He looked at the hot sun outside before asking respectfully, “General s.h.i.+dan, did you sleep last night?”

General s.h.i.+dan was dumbstruck. He looked outside the window, then covered his forehead and said, “Ah, it’s already daytime. I didn’t expect myself to be thinking throughout the night.”

“I’m full of respect for General s.h.i.+dan. I shouldn’t be disrupting your rest, but I have a matter to discuss with you.”

George walked forward and whispered to General s.h.i.+dan, “According 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!”

General s.h.i.+dan jumped up in surprise and said, “Really?”

General s.h.i.+dan 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 didn’t make use of this chance, it would be lost, and they would have to wait for a long time. They didn’t have much time left.
