Chapter 490: Invasion of the Underworld

General Shidan gaped in astonishment at the chattering Victorians. They didn’t appear disciplined in front of their Deputy Chairman. Instead, they were chatting wildly like monkeys.

General Shidan had enough. These Victorians weren’t officials of Victoria City. From their behavior, they looked like cheats!

He decided not to deal with these cheats. Instead, he would take his men back to the camp and find other ways to enter Victoria City.

“Let’s go,” General Shidan said coldly. He waved his hand and led his men to leave. Hundreds of Knights turned around, and their metal armor made a large din.

“Gosh! Our Strange Encounters are leaving! D*mn!”

“Let’s make our moves!”

The Victorians behind him shouted and were becoming hostile. Some of them even unsheathed their weapons.

The Victorians didn’t attack immediately. They raised their weapons and watched General Shidan’s troops in anticipation before gaping.

“What’s up? We can’t attack them?”

“They didn’t attack us, so we can’t attack them!”

“Oh gosh, what shall we do?”

“Shall I insult them and taunt them a bit?”

The Victorians chatted in a frenzy, and General Shidan became nervous.

“What’s wrong with these Victorians? Are they going to attack us? We’re here to help them fight against the Underworld creatures!”

While General Shidan was hesitating about whether to strike first, strange noises came from the forest. It sounded like creatures were moving towards them at breakneck speed.

Were they reinforcements from Victoria City?

General Shidan wasn’t sure. He grasped the hilt of his sword and looked warily at the Victorians and in the direction of the weird noises.

Those Victorians were also watching the forest nervously. Those noises weren’t from their own people.

The noises became louder until a strange creature dashed out. On its back was an even stranger creature that had green skin, long fangs, and protruded eyes. It looked like the monster from the legends.

The monster was four meters tall, and he rode an ostrich-like ugly bird. The bird flapped its wings and stared at the Victorians and General Shidan’s troops with its bloodshot eyes.

General Shidan didn’t recognize the strange creatures, but George and Steamed Dumpling had seen them before. They were the Darting Bird and Orc from the Underworld.

“Gosh! Why are the Eternal pigs here?”

“How should I know? Prepare for battle. They have quite a number!”

“TakeASpearHit, get more reinforcements!”

“TakeASpearHit has gone offline to get reinforcements. Protect him!”

The Victorians went into chaos. The Orcs who dashed out of the forest didn’t slow down at all. They talked in a strange language and swung their Warhammers and Axes as they attacked the Victorians.

“Everyone, prepare for battle. For the glory of the Humans!” General Shidan shouted and unsheathed his weapon, preparing to charge at the enemies. Before he was ready, the Victorians had charged forward and separated General Shidan’s troops from the Underworld creatures. They were shouting.

“Those dogs are trying to snatch our loot. Stop them!”

“Why aren’t the NPCs leaving? Weren’t they leaving just now?”

“The gamers of Eternal Kingdom see red names on the NPCs!”

“We have a traitor amongst us. He must have divulged our Strange Encounter to the gamers of Eternal Kingdom!”

“Leave immediately. Are these foolish NPCs waiting to die?”

Many Victorians shouted and gestured at General Shidan and his troops, wanting them to leave the battlefield.

More and more Orcs appeared from the forest. Their staggering numbers shocked General Shidan.

“Has Victoria City fallen? Why are there so many Underworld creatures appearing in the forest?”

It wasn’t the time to hesitate. General Shidan had to make a decision fast. He wanted to show his friendly disposition to the Victorians, so he only brought 100 Knights.

There were only 300 Victorians. With the increasing number of Orcs, Gnomes, and other creatures coming out of the forest, General Shidan didn’t think they stood a chance against the aggressors. The huge size and strong constitution of the Orcs would overwhelm the Humans easily.

Only the tall Elves were able to fight against the Orcs.

But there weren’t many Elves around.

It was a predestined failure. If General Shidan stayed behind, he and his troops would be massacred by the Orcs.

He had to return to his camp. Regardless of whether Victoria City had fallen, he could no longer depend on the Victorians.

General Shidan made his decision and shouted to his Knights, “Retreat! Before these creatures attack, retreat and return to our camp!”

Though many Knights were prepared to fight to the death with the Underworld creatures, the situation wasn’t optimistic. After General Shidan gave his order, the Knights sheathed their weapons.

They retreated in the direction that they came from. The Victorians and the Underworld creatures fought viciously with lots of cursing and swearing.

The shocking thing was that the Victorians and the Underworld creatures were communicating in a common language. Whether it was an Underworld language or a Victorian language, General Shidan would have to investigate later.
