At the Dark Portal.
Groups of soldiers of the Godly Kingdom whose hands were tied were walking in the tunnel that led to the Dark Portal. They would enter the portal and return to the Surface World.
Thousands of prisoners were being escorted by a few gamers of Eternal Kingdom who had been assigned the mission.
The gamers weren’t worried that the soldiers of the Godly Kingdom would escape since the energy of the prisoners was drained such that they couldn’t walk properly. To the prisoners, the gamers were already frightening.
Fifty million gaming capsules for “Dungeon” had been sold. There were at least a few million gamers in Eternal Kingdom. It was extremely overcrowded in the Dungeon.
The Spiders’ Lair, which was previously filled with Underground Spiders, was crowded with Goblins. The Underground Spiders were fed until they were fat and round.
It was hard to imagine, but it was a fact.
Golden-haired George looked at the Orcs who were leading them. After Polio opened the prison gates, they were brought out of Eternal Kingdom to the Dark Portal.
George couldn’t forget the Dark Portal, which was where he was defeated and taken prisoner. He experienced a month of mental torture after and was then brought to the Dark Portal once again. Perhaps he was going to be killed since he was of no value?
George thought with depression.
At this time, a group of Humans appeared at the Dark Portal. From the green symbols above their heads, he recognized them as Victorians!
“Leave here! There are Orcs!”
George didn’t think, instinctively shouting at the group of Humans. He wanted to warn the Victorians before they were discovered by the brutal Orcs.
According to logic, it was impossible that the Victorians wouldn’t discover the contingent of a few thousand prisoners.
The Orcs heard George’s shouting and were taken aback, not knowing what to do. George was prepared to be killed after he shouted.
But the Orcs didn’t kill him. Instead, the Orcs shouted to the distant Victorians.
The language wasn’t the Underworld language. It was more like the Dragon language of Eggface. George was unable to understand the language.
However, the Victorians were able to understand the Orcs because it was Mandarin.
“Why is Golden-haired George shouting? Does he want to be freed? Or is it another Strange Encounter Mission?”
A gamer of Victoria City quickly replied, “No, he’s warning us to flee since you’re here. He thinks that you’re going to attack us.”
“The behavior of the NPC is too realistic. Unfortunately, I don’t understand his language. The game officials should install a common language that we can understand. Otherwise, we won’t be able to understand the Plot.”
That was the conversation between the gamers of Eternal Kingdom and Victoria City.
The gamers gathered there because Lord Sherlock had given an order. The soldiers of the Godly Kingdom were drained of all Magic Stones. Even if they were killed, there would be no more Magic Stones.
Sherlock got to know the capability of the new Magic Stone Extraction Device. Since the prisoners were of no value, Sherlock would have to spend unnecessary money to feed them.
Sherlock would neither keep them nor kill them. Getting rid of the corpses was a big problem. The gamers didn’t feed on corpses, only feeding on clay, and there was no value in killing the soldiers. Instead, there was value in keeping them alive.
After some consideration, Sherlock decided to hand the soldiers of the Godly Kingdom over to Victoria City.
He believed that they were of value to Queen Victoria and the gamers.
Sherlock didn’t know Golden-haired George, and he wasn’t interested.
George observed the Orcs and Humans chatting happily. The Victorians were even smiling.
How could the Victorians not be happy when they were about to have a Strange Encounter Mission?
The conversation between the gamers ended. The gamers had to complete their Daily Missions, so they couldn’t spend a lot of time chatting.
The thousands of soldiers were handed over to the Victorians. One of the dispirited and quiet soldiers started to come to life.
“Save me! Please, save me!”
One of the soldiers pounced on a Victorian. The rest of the soldiers didn’t follow his behavior. Many Goblins were watching the frenzied behavior of this soldier.
Though the Goblins were short, they were still frightening Underworld creatures. The willpower of the soldiers had been exterminated, and they were exhausted, so they wouldn’t fight against the Goblins.
After hearing the shouts for help, a Victorian said righteously, “Don’t worry, we have rescued you from the evil Eternal Kingdom. They won’t be able to harm you!”
Before the soldiers of the Godly Kingdom had the chance to cheer, the Victorian said, “You’re now the prisoners of Victoria City. Don’t worry, we’re not unreasonable. If you can give us benefits or missions, we’ll release you.”
Another gamer quickly said, “For example, territories. If you have huge farmland or territories, you can exchange them for your freedom.”
…
“Moroes, Moroes.”
In his cloudy awareness, Moroes heard a call. He slowly awakened and saw an Orc. The Orc was very close as he said, “Are you awake? We’ve arrived.”
