Gamers of the Underworld 481 Righteous Battle

He could clearly hear the voices of the Orcs, Gnomes, and Houndhead Men outside. He didn't know the time, but the creatures outside didn't need to rest. Steamed Dumpling found that it was always noisy outside regardless of whether he was sleeping or awake. He had only been kept there for two days.

There was neither a clock nor sunshine, so he had no grasp of time and could only guess whether it was day or night.

A creature got close to the prison entrance, causing Steamed Dumpling to lift up his head in the darkness. He recognized the Orc leader, Arthur, who caught him and George.

The Orc stood before the prison and used his hand to signal opening the door and two fingers to indicate walking. George looked at the Orc's actions as well, but neither of them knew what Arthur was doing.

"Is he trying to open the door and let us escape?" George asked bewilderedly.

Steamed Dumpling shook his head and said, "They captured us with great effort just to let us escape? I don't think so. He's opening the door and letting us follow him."

"Where are we going?"

Steamed Dumpling shook his head. He didn't know where the Orc was taking them. Arthur opened the cage and gestured for them to come out.

George and Steamed Dumpling understood the gesture. As prisoners, they had no choice. Though they were reluctant to do as the Orc said, they walked out of the cage with their heavy fetters. Arthur followed behind.

They passed through a plaza that was full of gamers. Under the gazes of the strange creatures, they walked to the Teleport Portal Main Hall. Arthur and his Guild members were escorting them.

They didn't have to worry about gamers attacking them. Unless George and Steamed Dumpling attacked the gamers, they couldn't kill them. That was Bru's arrangement.

They followed Arthur, entered the Teleport Portal, and arrived at the crossroad intersection outpost. Other Pioneer Alliance members were already waiting for them.

The members greeted Arthur and started chatting. George and Steamed Dumpling didn't understand the Dungeon language.

However, they understood the Surface World's language. They didn't have the chance to observe the crossroad intersection outpost clearly last time. This time, they surveyed the environment. Besides the creatures from the Underworld, there were Victorians. It was obvious that there was a clear demarcation of the Underworld's side and Victoria's side.

"Why do the Surface World's Humans, Fairies, and Elves live peacefully with the Underworld creatures in the same city?"

Steamed Dumpling was unable to understand. A small group of Humans walked to them and used strange language to chat with the Underworld creatures. The language sounded like Dragon language.

That was the gamers' Mandarin language that they used in real life.

Though Steamed Dumpling didn't understand their language, he could see that they were nervous. They weren't friendly towards each other. In fact, there was some animosity.

The Victorians must have been building their outpost there to fight against the Underworld creatures.

After they finished talking, Arthur pushed the two NPCs forward before leaving with his members.

George and Steamed Dumpling were now in the hands of the Victorians.

If it were a few days ago, the gamers of Victoria City would be happy to bring George and Steamed Dumpling back for a bounty. However, because Queen Victoria declared war on Eternal Kingdom two days ago, the bounty for the two of them was removed. According to Duke Guinevere, who was under orders from Queen Victoria, it was the critical time to fight against Eternal Kingdom. They needed the help of George and Steamed Dumpling.

"Welcome, both of you. We meet again."

George and Steamed Dumpling were relieved to be in the company of Humans again. They would rather be captives of the Victorians who looked similar to them.

"Though we're your prisoners, we would like to know what's happening," George said to the Humans. The gamers didn't expect the prisoners to ask questions. The gamers only received a mission to come to the crossroad intersection outpost and escort the prisoners to see Queen Victoria.

"How would I know? The Underworld creatures just handed both of you to us. Previously, they fought to prevent us from capturing both of you, and now, they are giving both of you up. Queen Victoria would like to see you. Follow me."

The Human gamers didn't treat George and Steamed Dumpling like prisoners, and they weren't tied up. Their weapons were even given back to them. The journey from the crossroad intersection outpost to the Surface World wasn't safe. They could be attacked by Underworld creatures or wandering beasts.

It would be a pity if the NPCs died. By returning their weapons to them, the NPCs would be able to defend themselves.

The escort team left the crossroad intersection outpost and walked towards Victoria City. After two hours, George and Steamed Dumpling arrived at the legendary Victoria City. They were attacked in the Victoria Forest by the gamers, so it was their first time seeing Victoria City. They were deeply astonished.

The inhabitants of Victoria City were living in extreme hardship.

The houses weren't cramped, the roads were flat and straight, and the appearance was pleasing. However, the quality of the roads and houses were inferior. The materials used were crude.

The roads were muddy, and some of the roads were patched with stone slabs. However, it was a small number. The gamers were busy pillaging the York Territory and exploring the various cities, so they didn't have time to build the infrastructure for Victoria City.

Among the dilapidated buildings, there was a strange Castle that was made of tree branches and leaves.

The craftsmanship of the Castle was incredible.

This was the residence of Queen Victoria. George and Steamed Dumpling didn't know why, but they were nervous.

They were never so nervous when meeting the Duke of York.

The decorations outside the Castle were appealing, but it was ordinary looking inside the Castle. There were no luxurious decorations. The gamers pillaged a lot of items from the Duke's Castle, but they didn't offer them to Queen Victoria. She didn't bother with such items anyway.

The three Hamsters waited for George and Steamed Dumpling in the Castle. Beside the Hamsters was Lancelot.

After traveling all over the place, they had returned to Victoria City. Steamed Dumpling sighed while Lancelot remained silent. He turned around and opened the door before saying, "Queen Victoria is inside. Follow me."

George and Steamed Dumpling followed the three Hamsters and Lancelot into the room. Inside the room, Lancelot went to the innermost chamber and knocked on the door, saying, "Your Highness, I have brought the people that you would like to see."

The chamber door opened, revealing a young girl sitting on a wooden chair behind a table. The young girl looked thirteen or fourteen years old.

Was this young girl Queen Victoria? From her age, she looked too young. It was hard to figure out how a young girl could lead the warriors of Victoria City and fight against the Duke of York.

After Steamed Dumpling witnessed Queen Victoria's appearance and charisma, he found her to be sweet and cute, but her dominant aura made her aloof. She had the charisma of a powerful ruler.

"Your Highness."

Lancelot bowed to Lilo and retreated to the side. Steamed Dumpling and George bowed to Lilo as well.

George had seen Lilo before, but Steamed Dumpling hadn't. This was his first time meeting Queen Victoria.

"Let's be frank. I intend to attack Eternal Kingdom, but I'm fighting with King Potato II of the Godly Kingdom. I've decided to let both of you warn King Potato II not to make trouble. Otherwise, I'll kill him."

Steamed Dumpling and George gaped in shock, not responding for a long time. How could they convey such a message to the King? They learned from the Victorians that the Underworld creatures came from Eternal Kingdom Dungeon.

Queen Victoria was going to fight against the Underworld creatures, but she was condescending towards the King. If they conveyed her original message, it would worsen the situation, and the King would be unlikely to help Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria had nothing else to say, so she waved her hand to dismiss George and Steamed Dumpling. Lancelot knew Queen Victoria very well. He didn't give George and Steamed Dumpling a chance to speak, immediately leading them out of the Castle. At the Castle entrance, he said to them, "Like you heard, Queen Victoria has no intention of harming you. We're going to war with Eternal Kingdom. Tell your King about the war and request help. We are fighting for all Humans and races of light and freedom."

Lancelot spoke with pride. He didn't expect to serve such a great Queen. She might be strange at times and bold enough to declare war on the Godly Kingdom, but Lancelot felt that she was aggressive and could only be satisfied by winning wars.

However, it wasn't the case. Queen Victoria was able to do things that other people couldn't. She was going to fight against the horrifying Underworld creatures courageously.

Lancelot was filled with pride and walked with his head held high. He believed the war with the Underworld would go into the annals of history. He would be the first member of Victoria City to fight against the Underworld!

When George and Steamed Dumpling were about to leave, the three Hamsters brought two horses to them.

The gamers who were watching by the side raised a ruckus. A huge pair of wings were opened, and a figure descended from the sky.

A figure with wings was either an Angel or a Devil.

It was a Devil.

A superior Devil.

The Devil extended his bat wings and descended rapidly, landing at the plaza of Victoria City. The gamers of Victoria City wanted to get closer, but they were unable to move because they entered Plot Animation Mode.

The gamers began shouting.

"Oh my god! It's Sherlie!"

"Quick, come over her. The Plot is starting!"

"The Faction War is starting. Sherlie is here to declare war!"

"It could be an idol comedic drama. Look how close Sherlie is with the Queen."

"They declared war previously, and now they are going to fight. And yet, you're saying it's good."

The chatting of the gamers stopped because the Plot Animation Mode engulfed the entirety of Victoria City. Every gamer was watching the Plot.

"What a delicious lunch. After so many years, the Surface World's races are still just as tasty."

Sherlock revealed his sharp fangs. He smiled as he looked around and said, "I heard that you're the ones blocking my army's advance to the Surface World. Are you called Victorians? You, weak Humans, are overestimating your capabilities. I'll kill every one of you."

Sherlock raised his hand, and brilliant Death Rays shot out from his palm, instantly killing the surrounding gamers.

The gamers were killed during the Plot before they could do anything. Those who perished weren't penalized with a deduction of Reputation Points or a loss of equipment.

After Sherlock had killed hundreds of gamers, Lancelot dashed forward and raised his Longsword. He wanted to fight against the Devil.

Who would expect a Devil to appear out of the blue? There were no signs or advance warning. Lancelot couldn't afford to consider much. He had to stop the Devil before he caused more damage.

Lancelot's power was far inferior to that of Sherlock, who raised his hand and knocked Lancelot's weapon away. Sherlock then stomped Lancelot under his foot, but he didn't take his life.

"Brave Knight, it's not time to be a hero."

Just then, three Hamsters appeared and shouted bravely.

"Evil Devil, release our Count Glamorgan!"

"Do you think you can harm Count Glamorgan? We won't let you do it!"

"Lord Sherlock, what are we eating…"

"Pom—!"

Before Fat Otaku finished talking, Sherlock punched him on the head.

Fat Otaku collapsed to the ground.

"You dare to appear in my territory. Sherlock, we will have a decisive battle."

When George and Steamed Dumpling were hesitating about whether they were going to fight the powerful Devil, Queen Victoria walked out from her Castle. She was wearing a cute western dress while holding a black Pike.

Queen Victoria looked grave as she pointed the tip of the Pike at Sherlock. He didn't let down his guard even though Queen Victoria was only a thirteen-year-old girl. Instead, he looked warily at Queen Victoria.

"Your Highness, I thought you weren't in Victoria City. Since you're present, our battle will stop here," Sherlock said courteously to Lilo while he kicked Lancelot to the side.

That wasn't an insult, as his opponent was a superior Devil.

"If you're willing to leave, it's a good thing for you. We'll meet on the battlefield again, Sherlock."

Queen Victoria wasn't willing to start a fight with the Devil, who nodded and flew away.

Why did a Devil appear boldly on the Surface World? Why was the Church not doing anything? According to logic, the Church should be able to detect the appearance of evil creatures on the Surface World.

George didn't know that Sherlock had obtained Samael's precious stone, which could disguise the scent of a Devil.

That was why Sherlock could expand from the Underworld Dungeon to the Surface World. Victoria City was built using the precious stone.

The decadent Angel Lilo wasn't discovered by the Church because of the power of the precious stone.

Sherlock left, but a deadly silence pervaded Victoria City.

George and Steamed Dumpling didn't know that the silence was due to Lilo's dominance. They thought the Victorians were cowering under the dominance of Sherlock because they felt it too. Were the Devil and his army going to invade the Surface World? Nobody knew, but they were very clear on one thing. When the day came, they would fight for the races of light and freedom. They would fight with Victoria City.

"Lancelot, I apologize for our attacks against you."

George extended his hand to pull up Lancelot. Then, he said, "I didn't know that you were fighting against such horrifying creatures. The deceased Duke of York only thought of his selfish gains. I'll stand by your side. I'll report the Devil's attack on Victoria City to the Godly Kingdom."

Steamed Dumpling said to Lancelot, "Our clans will always support you to fight these vile creatures. You'll get the support of the Counts."

Steamed Dumpling rode on his Warhorse as he nodded at Lancelot and said, "Whatever conflict we had previously, we should unite and fight against evil. I'll seek reinforcements, brave Victorian!"

Steamed Dumpling and George had changed their opposing attitudes to respect and admiration.

The Victorians were such brave people. The times had changed, and the world's situation was getting dire!
