508 The Second Faction War Battle Campaign (2/2)
It was a great deal to the gamers who loved fighting.
A closer Revival Point meant that their reinforcements would arrive quicker. The conflict in the wilderness would be in their favor!
A battle in the wilderness meant more salvaged equipment. Hence, it was important for both factions to gain control of the Dark Portal.
Both factions gathered their forces to prepare for the Battle Campaign.
Before the Faction War started, both factions were already involved in numerous skirmishes. Eternal Kingdom had observers from Winterfell and other Dungeons, while Victoria City had observers from the Godly Kingdom.
The observers didn't know the actual relationship between Eternal Kingdom and Victoria City. To them, it was an invasion. Whether it was Victoria City or Eternal Kingdom, they were the protectors of their worlds.
Though the other Dungeon Lords were moved, they didn't intend to help Eternal Kingdom. The observers wanted the warriors of Eternal Kingdom to be at the frontline.
After being complimented by the King, General Shidan cleared the areas around Victoria Forest of the Underworld creatures from time to time.
He was fighting against the Underworld creatures that broke through Victoria Forest. General Shidan knew that the enemy was coming for him. All of these Underworld creatures were killed by General Shidan's army.
General Shidan reported his victories to the King. To him, the war was smooth sailing until George rode his white horse and arrived before him with an escort of a large group of Victorians.
Though the Victorian in Goldshire Town described what George did and ate every day as though George was still alive, General Shidan believed that he was dead after being gone for so many days. General Shidan also thought that the Victorian was just trying to fleece him with the lies. The Victorian's behavior was too weird for General Shidan to believe him.
When George appeared before him, General Shidan was shocked. However, he acted calm and welcomed George with open arms as he said, \”Sir George, you're still alive. I didn't believe the people who told me you were dead. You are blessed by the Holy Lord!\”
General Shidan looked excited, but Golden-haired George wasn't excited. He dismounted from his horse and shouted to General Shidan, \”It's not the time to catch up on the battlefield. We need you to move the army to Victoria City. Those creatures from Eternal Kingdom are going to attack the Dark Portal!\”
\”Dark Portal?\”
General Shidan was shocked. That was the only known portal that was connected to the Underworld.
\”Wait, where did you obtain the information? Is it reliable? Could it be false information?\”
General Shidan hesitated, thinking that George might be controlled by the Victorians. Those Victorian lunatics were capable of doing anything.
He didn't believe the Victorians. He only wanted to stay at the boundary of Victoria Forest instead of venturing to the Dark Portal.
It was too dangerous. There was no guarantee that there wouldn't be ambushes. Though the Victorians claimed they controlled the Dark Portal, General Shidan didn't believe that the Victorians could defeat the Underworld creatures based on their willpower. He had fought with the Orcs in battle before. How could those 3-meter tall Orcs be defeated by the slender Victorians? Moreover, there was an endless stream of Underworld creatures. They were as countless as fleas.
But George spoke confidently, and General Shidan hesitated. The generals were divided into two camps, and they debated furiously.
\”General, we can't trust George. He disappeared for a long time. Who knows whether he's being controlled by the Underworld creatures.\”
\”We sent so many scouts, but they were killed. Only George returned. It must be a trap.\”
\”We have to believe George. This concerns the future of mankind!\”
What should General Shidan do?
