354 Honor Points (1/2)
The white horse of Great Centenarian fell to the ground. The arrow had penetrated its eye and brain, so it couldn't be saved.
The leg of Great Centenarian was crushed underneath the white horse, the bones fractured. However, he couldn't feel any pain since he had adjusted the pain level to zero.
He was overwhelmed by sadness as he stared at the dead horse and screamed in hopelessness. Goblins, Gnomes, and Houndhead Men fearlessly charged out, as did the Humans, Fairies, and Elves with their inferior equipment.
…
There were reflections of blades and flashes of swords.
”Swoosh!”
Great Centenarian watched his arm fly off. Despite the loss of his arm, he tried his best to slash his sword, the greedy eyes of the Gnome before him inflaming his anger.
”For Victoria City!”
Great Centenarian screamed in fury as he slashed his Greatsword, but he was unable to stop a Longsword from penetrating his Breastplate. The Gnome placed his face close to Great Centenarian and spoke hoarsely in the Underworld common language. In Gnome language, he was saying, ”Gosh! My horse! Why did I kill it?”
”D*mn!” Great Centenarian could only scream at the Gnome called btkangren. Before he could spit at btkangren, his strength faded, and he lost consciousness…
Ten minutes later, there was a post on the forum titled:
[This is war!]
”I am Great Centenarian, a member of higher management in the Hoodlum Yoga Association Guild. I feel indignant about being ambushed by the scum of Eternal Kingdom!
(Picture) (Picture)…
We are facing the same threat from the Ogres, and we should be united, but you killed my horse! You dared to kill my horse!
We, the Hoodlum Yoga Association, formally declare war on the Eternal Kingdom Faction! We will form a team to kill off all of the Darting Birds! Wait for your deaths, as well as the deaths of your birds! We'll crush your Houndheads!
Killing members of the opposite faction will yield equipment. I know this because all of my equipment is gone.
I won't say anymore, as I am going into the game to rob them of their equipment!”
Besides the post by Great Centenarian, there were other posts that were highly provocative.
The first contact between the two factions was like igniting a barrel of explosives, which ended in a massive explosion.
”They are a warmongering race. Are they also that aggressive in the otherworld?” Sherlock asked curiously as he looked at the discussion forum that was filled with accusations and declarations of war.
”In the otherworld, they have exterminated millions of animals and conducted racial massacres. They have had two World Wars, and then with two explosions, their history became a history of war. They enjoy war, so it's not too far off to describe them as war-like,” Bru replied quickly.
”But most importantly, in this game, they are free from all restraints. Instead of sitting down and negotiating or holding hands merrily, they prefer to hack, kill, and pillage. This kind of brutal game is much more attractive.”
Sherlock nodded. ”Yes, from the large number of war-themed computer games, they do seem to like conflict.”
He then said, ”Let them have more opportunities for entertainment. It will save me some money too. I will provide an avenue, one that is similar to an arena to promote their conflict, a place they can hone their combat skills and entertain themselves at the same time. It's perfect.”
”They can submit any looted equipment to us for rewards since they can't use their enemies' equipment anyway. Then, we'll transport them back to the Surface World and put them on sale! Let them construct a fortified outpost before launching an attack on the Ogres. The mission will follow the plan that we discussed before,” Sherlock ordered.
Bru quickly replied, ”Lord Sherlock, your plan is flawless!”
Eggface was behind them typing furiously. He was chatting with the gamers who were complaining or giving suggestions.
Eggface frowned, deeply focused as he typed on the keyboard. He had been working diligently for the past few days.
Sherlock was pleased. He felt he had enriched Eggface's childhood.
…
Lancelot felt that he was going crazy. He had agreed to Duchess Lilo's mission to follow the gamers through the Teleport Portal to visit the Underworld!
He saw legendary strange creatures like Dire Wolves, Underground Spiders, the green-skinned Goblins, Gnomes, and Houndhead Men. He could even hear the roars of the Ogres coming from the large Fortress.
Lancelot felt that he was insane!
