488 Arriving at Victoria City (1/2)

In Victoria City, which was located at the Moonlight Forest.

The gamers of Victoria City had cleared 1/4th of the Moonlight Forest. Only 1/24th of the area was developed from the center, so it looked normal from the boundary of the forest.

When General Shidan arrived at this desolate place, he surveyed the quiet plain outside the forest. He was puzzled. Was this the Victoria City that defeated the Duke of York?

Weren't the defenses too lax? Were there hidden defenses in the forest?

Normally, the plains outside the Victoria Forest were good locations for defending. They could use the complex terrain of the forest to attack the enemies that entered the plains.

If a few Cannons were deployed, nobody would dare attack from the plains. If the enemies entered the forest, there would be even more casualties.

There were no Cannons being deployed. There weren't even Victorian scouts patrolling the boundary of Victoria Forest.

General Shidan couldn't understand the Victorians. Did they not need to prepare their defenses?

\”General Shidan, this is the Victorian's tactic. Please believe me, there are no ambushes in the forest.\”

George recounted his combat experience with the Victorians to General Shidan.

He was previously leading his Knights on the plains outside Victoria Forest and intended to charge inside and kill all of the Victorians.

He expected victory, but the ending wasn't what he expected. The warriors of Victoria City didn't place any ambushes. Instead, they charged chaotically out from the forest like students who were out on an excursion. There was no discipline and no tactical formations.

George and his Knights were defeated by the warriors of Victoria City in this manner.

General Shidan was behaving like George did before he was defeated.

\”It's not a problem regardless of whether the Victorians have placed their defenses. We're not here to attack them. Instead, we're here to help them fight the Underworld creatures. This is a glorious mission. Even the most foolish person wouldn't decline our help.\”

General Shidan didn't have the worries of George. He sent out scouts to gather intelligence and to contact the Victorians.

He had just given his order when he saw a man walk out of the forest.

He was a citizen of Victoria City, evident by the green symbols above his head.

According to logic, he would flee when he saw so many troops gathered outside the forest. But he didn't escape. Instead, he walked towards the troops.

\”Send out an emissary to find out what's going on,\” General Shidan said to his aide.
