506 All for the Godly Kingdom! (2/2)
General Shidan agreed and ordered the army to find a new camp location.
Before the army set off, General Shidan felt it was necessary to inform the King.
…
In the temporary room of General Shidan in Goldshire Town, there were many items all over the place. The floor was filled with mathematical symbols and numerals, and priests sat on the ground and chanted formulas. The Power of Sacred Light filled the room and formed a screen that depicted blurred images.
The images became clearer, and a solemn Grand Priest gazed at General Shidan.
\”General Shidan, are you reporting the situation to us?\” the Grand Priest asked.
\”I'm not reporting the situation, but I have to speak with the King.\” General Shidan wanted to emphasize the seriousness of the matter. He frowned and said, \”I have to talk to the King immediately.\”
The Grand Priest noticed General Shidan's grave face and knew that things were getting serious. He nodded and left. Before long, a haggard man appeared on the screen. He looked noble and regal. He must be the King of the Godly Kingdom, King Potato II.
\”What are you reporting? General Shidan, I hope it's good news,\” the King said in an intimidating tone.
\”Your Highness.\” General Shidan looked at King Potato II and said respectfully, \”Apologies for imposing on you while you are busy. The situation in Victoria City isn't optimistic. The number of Underworld creatures is greater than we expected.\”
\”Are you asking for reinforcements?\” King Potato II frowned.
\”Your Highness, though the battle was intense and casualties occurred, we don't need reinforcements. Under my great leadership, we defeated the first wave of attack. I intend to shift our camp location. The Victorians are afraid of the Underworld creatures and betrayed us. But don't worry, everything is under control!\” General Shidan said solemnly. During the attack launched by the gamers of Eternal Kingdom, less than a hundred of General Shidan's men were killed. Most of them were simply injured. However, General Shidan exaggerated the numbers of the enemy and described the conflict as a difficult but great battle.
Moreover, General Shidan's armor was bloodstained, and he looked exhausted. So his words were rather convincing.
King Potato II believed General Shidan.
King Potato II nodded and said, \”I didn't expect the Victorians to be so strong as to defend against the Underworld creatures for so long. You have done well. I'll remember your contributions!\”
General Shidan said excitedly, \”All for the Godly Kingdom!\”
