Gamers of the Underworld (Web Novel)

The Faction War was as intense and chaotic as usual. The brutality was shocking. Patrick Star looked on from a distance with tears welling in his eyes while he penned down the heroic feats of the warriors of Eternal Kingdom. He was sure that this battle would be recorded in the annals of the history books regardless of the outcome. The warriors of Eternal Kingdom would be remembered as heroes in the hearts of the Underworld inhabitants.

The gamers didn’t have such thoughts. They were thinking of how to defeat the enemy and gain control of the Dark Portal.

If possible, they wanted to pillage for better and more equipment.

There were fewer Victorians at the boundary of the outpost. After a series of fierce fights, the warriors of Eternal Kingdom defeated the enemy and sent all of the Victorians back to the Revival Point. Those surviving Victorians fled towards the Dark Portal. The warriors of Eternal Kingdom didn’t pursue the survivors because they didn’t have enough Darting Birds. Secondly, they were wary of the Victorians setting traps.

Whatever the case, they had achieved their first goal of defeating the Victorians outside the outpost. Next, they had to launch an attack on the outpost to prevent the Victorians from attacking their rear.

Like the first Faction War Battle Campaign, the battle at the outpost would be extremely brutal.

…

Large rocks fell from the sky and smashed on the crude defensive walls of the outpost. An Orc Magician raised his Magic Wand and chanted loudly. A pair of Human horsemen charged towards the Magician but were stopped by Orc guards.

Gamers who could cast area-effect spells were sought after in combat.

The Battle Campaign was coming to an end. The defensive walls built by the gamers were damaged beyond recognition after severe beatings.

Various pieces of large-scale war machinery were stationed at the defensive walls. They were deployed by the Victorians to inflict as many casualties as possible. The Victorians had smaller numbers in the outpost, so they depended on the machines to gain the upper hand. Most of the Victorians were gathered at the Dark Portal to consolidate their defenses against the invading warriors of Eternal Kingdom.

To the Victorians, the war had just started.

…

“Aren’t you taking a rest?”

At the ruins of the crossroad intersection outpost, Patrick Star observed the warriors of Eternal Kingdom gathering again after completing their previous battle. Only a few warriors were salvaging the equipment on the ground.

Patrick Star thought that the warriors would rest for a while after such an intense battle. He knew that their target was the Dark Portal, but he didn’t expect them to set off without any rest. Patrick Star asked an Orc who had just lost his arm. The Orc was taken aback, but he replied righteously, “This is for the peace of the Underworld. For Eternal Kingdom! For Lord Sherlock!”

After that, the gamer muttered to his comrade, “It’s hilarious. This immersive game makes me shout such embarrassing dialogue.”

Patrick Star didn’t hear the soft muttering of the gamer. He exalted the warriors for their bravery. Under such harsh circumstances, the handicapped warrior was able to stand up and continue his fight. Under normal circumstances, the handicapped warrior would be evacuated to the rear and given proper rest and treatment.

However, the handicapped Orc smiled and chatted with his comrades while his bandaged arm was still dripping blood. His green face was extremely pale and devoid of blood, but he was full of vigor. Nobody knew what power was sustaining such a brave warrior.

Tears welled up in Patrick Star’s eyes again. It wasn’t the first time he was moved by these warriors, but he was too deeply touched this time.

Patrick Star wiped his tears as he watched the warrior catch up to his unit while a trail of blood followed behind him. He wrote in his journal with a heavy heart. He didn’t know the Orc’s name or whether he would survive the battle. However, the silhouette of the handicapped Orc would be remembered in the history of the Underworld. He was the role model for the Underworld residents!

…

Golden-haired George rode on his horse and followed the Victorians out of the forest. Behind him was the endless stream of the army of the Godly Kingdom.

Though General Shidan was hesitant to dispatch his army to help the Victorians, he had to follow King Potato II’s order to reinforce the Victorians and defend the Dark Portal.

“Sir George, do you know the way? I don’t see any Dark Portal,” a general asked George as he surveyed the strange surrounding rocks.

In front of him were rolling hills. How could such terrain have a huge Dark Portal?

Though he hadn’t seen the Dark Portal, he imagined it to be a huge and majestic structure.

He couldn’t imagine the Dark Portal being located in such terrain. George and the Victorians were certain. Even Count Steamed Dumpling nodded and said, “Sir George and I went to the Underworld before. We are sure this is the road to the Dark Portal!”

The other people remained doubtful until they saw the Dark Portal within a cave!
