Edward rode on a horse as he led more than a hundred bandits, who screamed as they charged toward their targets.

He noticed that most of the half-naked Humans, Fairies, and Elves were handsome guys and beautiful gals.

Edward was very pleased, and he disregarded the weapons wielded by his targets. The way they held the Short Swords showed that they couldn’t fight properly. Was he getting old, or were they underestimating his combat power?

“Ooo lalalalala! Kill all of them!” Edward shouted excitedly. He was going to enslave his targets and sell them for money. There were so many of them, and it wasn’t possible for Edward to kill all of them. He was anticipating their surrender.

Lancelot inhaled deeply, with both of his hands grasping his Longsword. He shouted to his comrades on the left and right, “Steady! Don’t flee! Steady! Remember, you’re fighting for Victoria! For our glorious ambition!”

Though Lancelot tried to increase their morale, he was ready for the collapse of their formation. As an experienced Knight, he could see that his comrades were all inexperienced in combat. Even a three-year-old kid could wield a sword better than them.

They had no other choice because they couldn’t throw away their weapons and surrender.

Lancelot only hoped that these greenhorns could endure a bit. There would be serious casualties, but as long as they maintained their morale—even if they didn’t have combat techniques—they had a chance to defeat the bandits, who couldn’t be highly skilled in combat.

While Lancelot was busy thinking of a solution, the figures in front of him moved. Some of them even charged and screamed. Lancelot wanted to stop them, but before he had a chance to shout, the whole lot of them had charged out while screaming.

“Don’t compete with me, that horse is mine!”

“That horse is mine!”

“I want that horse!”

“I’m accumulating horses, buying all horses! One thousand Renminbi for each horse! I’m buying without limits!”

“Don’t hack at the horses, just hack at the bandits!”

“Horses, here I come!”

“Waaaah—!”

The group of Humans, Fairies, and Elves acted as though they had never seen a horse before.

Though the bandits didn’t have good equipment, they were still considered cavalry. Why were the half-naked creatures charging against cavalry?

Lancelot couldn’t bear to see what came next. When the cavalry and the crowd collided, what ensued would prove that there were no miracles in this world.

Edward’s horse collided with a Human who was blocking his way. The frightened Human was trying to evade and didn’t dare use his weapon to stab at the horse. Edward was full of disdain for these creatures. Even if they charged valiantly, it was a rash act in the face of death.

A cornered mouse would bite when it panicked, but these 1,000 creatures weren’t even fit to be mice.

“Hahahaha!”

Edward laughed heartily as he swung his Longsword at the surrounding enemies. He wasn’t nervous at all.

He was sure of victory!

…

Eggface walked down from a Beetlemon’s back, exhausted. As Sherlock had arranged for Eggface to visit the Surface World before, Eggface was assigned to be the guide for leading the materials convoy to the realm boundary between the Underworld and the Surface World.

Sherlock explained the reason he didn’t go personally. He said, “I’m staying in the Dungeon Lord Main Hall to research some matters.”

He opened up the computer game interface as he spoke.

Eggface had returned to Eternal Kingdom. He let the green-skinned creatures take care of the Beetlemon before returning to the Dungeon Lord Main Hall to report to Sherlock.

Thirty minutes later.

“…like that, I completed my mission. I want to play for five hours starting tomorrow…” Eggface said in a daze as he dragged his exhausted body to the corner of the room. That was the spot for his temporary nest.

Eggface curled up his body and placed his head under his tail. Then, he covered his body with his wings, cupped his claws at his chest, and began to snore evenly.

Sherlock glanced at Eggface and placed a blanket on his body. Then, he focused his attention on the crystal ball.

The images in the crystal ball showed a group of horse-riding bandits being sieged by a torrential horde of Humans, Fairies, and Elves.

These insane creatures weren’t bothered by the fact that they could be killed by kicks from the horses. They hugged the legs of the horses, and some even pounced on the bodies of the horses. The bandits hacked with their weapons a few times before they were surrounded by the gamers. Even if the gamers were seriously wounded with broken hands and legs, they weren’t in any way afraid.

The group of native bandits was engulfed by the torrent of gamers.

Sherlock shut down the images in the crystal ball. There was no need to observe the battle any longer.

“Lord Sherlock, the security of the Surface World leaves much to be desired. There are so many bandits, even within the Baron’s territory. Tsk, tsk, what a decadent world! Let’s help them quickly. Let the light of the Devil Sherlock illuminate their land.”

Though Bru spoke excitedly, Sherlock’s reaction was very measured.

He nodded in response before saying, “What do you think of the design of my new scene? It’s a common entertainment location for the gamers of Eternal Kingdom and Victoria City! I’ve even thought of the name—Spider’s Crossroads!”

Sherlock said happily, “I thought of the Plot as well. I’ll narrate the Plot at Eternal Kingdom, while Lilo will do her part for Victoria City. I’ll be able to use the Spider Queens that I bought and enrich the Plot and game content at the same time. This is the perfect plan thought up after playing computer games for many days.”

“Lord Sherlock, you are a superb game producer. I believe the gamers will be engrossed in your Plot design,” Bru said respectfully.

“No, that’s not important. The main thing is to build a neutral city that the gamers of Eternal Kingdom and Victoria can stay in together!”

Just as Sherlock was about to explain his plan, Bru quickly said, “Lord Sherlock, I have to interrupt. Professor Bacon is coming to Eternal Kingdom via the Winterfell Teleport Portal.”
