The Victorians set off from Goldshire Town with Golden-haired George and proceeded towards Victoria City.

While they were traveling, Brainiac brought Senior Captain Cherry, Patrick Star, and gamers of Eternal Kingdom to the crossroad intersection outpost.

Battles were breaking out at the outpost. But it wasn’t only because the two factions of the gamers were opposing each other. They wanted to trigger the second Faction War, especially the gamers of Eternal Kingdom, who didn’t want their rewards to be given to the Victorians after completing their missions. Moreover, the gamers of Eternal Kingdom were supposed to be stronger than those of Victoria City.

To Winterfell and the Godly Kingdom, it was a war that involved the Surface World and the Underworld. It could be a great war that rewrote history! They thought of the opposing faction as the invaders.

Senior Captain Cherry and Patrick Star followed Brainiac and the gamers of Eternal Kingdom to the outpost that allowed the Surface World and the Underworld races to exist in peace.

“This is the outpost that Sherlock built before leaving. It was intended to be used for mining and factory production. Nearby is the Teleport Portal that is connected to the Surface World. The monsters of Victoria City arrived in the Underworld via the Teleport Portal. Lord Sherlock ordered us to guard this outpost to prevent those monsters of the Surface World from invading the Underworld.”

While Brainiac was speaking, a team of Humans, Elves, and Fairies walked arrogantly out from the outpost while shouting at each other.

Senior Captain Cherry and Patrick Star didn’t understand the language of these monsters of the Surface World. Their voices and gazes were frightening. Senior Captain Cherry felt that they were discussing how to eat him.

Brainiac wasn’t nervous. He was used to it. When he noticed the fear in Cherry, he said, “We can’t stop our enemies from leaving the outpost. Don’t worry, we have deployed strong defenses at the boundary.”

The monsters of the Surface World who were leaving the outpost bumped into the Orcs who were laying in ambush.

“D*mn! You finally dare to fight us! I thought you’d be hiding for the rest of your lives!”

“Bro, let’s charge! They’re the ones who pillaged my equipment!”

“Kill them! Charge!”

The Orcs and Gnomes charged wildly at the Victorians, and a bloody battle ensued. There weren’t many combatants, but the fighting was far more vicious and grotesque than any other battles.

Even the battle-hardened Senior Captain Cherry was shocked by the grotesque battle scene.

Were such horrifying battles occurring frequently at the outpost? He couldn’t help feeling respect for the warriors of Eternal Kingdom. These brave warriors had been protecting the safety of the Underworld with their lives!

Though Cherry was moved, he didn’t show it.

“Lord Brainiac, we’re grateful for your contributions in keeping the Underworld safe and moved by what Lord Sherlock had done. However, it’s not the best solution. We have to work together to seal the Teleport Portal. This will stop the Surface World’s monsters from appearing!”

While Cherry was speaking, the Humans nearby came over to watch. Though Cherry knew that the Humans didn’t understand him, he couldn’t help glancing at them. He feared that if the Humans understood him, they would take vengeance on him.

“That’s what we thought, but reality doesn’t allow us to do that. Lord Sherlock made this decision after much consideration. Only by guarding the outpost will the monsters be stopped. This will ensure the peace and safety of the Underworld. If the Merchant Alliance is willing to provide material support, we’ll gladly accept it,” Brainiac explained.

Patrick Star recorded down the information while he said to Brainiac, “Lord Brainiac, can I make a request? After I reported the news of the Surface World’s invasion, the readers became very concerned about this matter. Many readers wrote to the press to ask about the Teleport Portal that is connected to the Surface World. I know that this request is inappropriate, but can I take a look at the Teleport Portal? We would like to see how serious the situation is.”

“That’s right.”

Senior Captain Cherry nodded in agreement. Both of them knew that Brainiac wouldn’t accept their request. It was already difficult for Brainiac to bring them to the crossroad intersection outpost, so he would most likely decline their request.

They didn’t expect Brainiac to hesitate for a while before acceding to their request, but Brainiac had a condition.

To ensure the safety of Patrick Star and Senior Captain Cherry, both of them weren’t to leave Brainiac’s side. In addition, they had to be disguised so that the warriors of Eternal Kingdom and Victoria City wouldn’t recognize them.

The disguise was simple. It was a matter of making them invisible. The gamers didn’t have any methods to detect invisibility.

Both of them agreed to Brainiac’s condition. Though they were curious to find out about the Surface World’s monsters, they weren’t willing to sacrifice their lives to fight against them.

They were only there to investigate the matter, so it wasn’t worth it to lose their lives.

Brainiac brought both of them to the Teleport Portal.

The gamers of Eternal Kingdom had gathered and started attacking the gamers of Victoria City. It was a grotesque battle scene around the area of the Teleport Portal. Both sides were hacking and killing each other to the point that they forgot about their equipment. There were pieces of equipment all over the place, but nobody picked them up. The battle was too vicious, and the combatants were too overwhelmed by their aggression to care about the equipment.

The Teleport Portal was still controlled by Eternal Kingdom, but that was only temporary.

At Victoria City.

“As you saw, the battle isn’t optimistic. The Eternal pigs, oh, those monsters from Eternal Kingdom, are attacking us continuously at all locations,” SealHeadLingChong said to Golden-haired George.

There were explosions, screaming, laughing, and other chaotic noises beside George. Along the way, Orcs, Gnomes, Goblins, and Houndhead Men emerged to attack the Victorians. While George didn’t understand the monsters, he understood from their agitated expressions that they were coming for him!

Those monsters were trying to kill him!
