After the Earl of Shaomai and the blond George were captured by a group of beastmen, they were not killed immediately. When they woke up, they found that they had been tied to a strange big bird that walked on two legs.
On the body, the bird looked like an ostrich magnified several times.
Almost at the first reaction, the blond George knew that he had now become a prisoner of this group of monsters from the underground world.
His hands and feet were tied tightly, and he was fixed on the back of the bipedal bird with no way to escape. The rope that tied him was a rope twisted from the silk thread of an underground spider, let alone it, even if it was huge
It would be difficult for a dire wolf or ogre to break free from being tied up with this kind of rope.
When the blond George woke up, the players in the Eternal Kingdom dungeon nearby noticed him immediately and quickly gathered around him. After saying a few words, Arthur came over.
Arthur tried to use his body language to communicate with the blond George and the Earl of Shaomai, but no matter what he did, neither of them could understand Arthur's body movements.
After another failed effort, Arthur finally gave up and tried to communicate with the two men physically.
The blond George looked around him. There were rocks everywhere, just like in a cave. A strange vine was wrapped around the edge of the rocks, emitting illuminating light. Of course, this kind of light was completely incomparable to the sunlight in the ground world.
of.
Arthur and the others are taking these two NPCs back to the crossroads stronghold, and plan to return to the Eternal Capital Dungeon through the portal. They are going to catch themselves. The news of the two NPCs is reported to Lord Sherlock to see if it can be triggered.
What kind of adventure mission? As for handing the two people over to the new Duke of York Guinevere, it's not that they haven't considered this option. After just a little contact with the players in the Free City of Victoria, Arthur gave up the idea. He was very sure.
If I had just taken two NPCs to Duke of York Ridge, I would definitely be besieged by those Victoria players.
We all have different camps and will never give each other face.
It is impossible to hide things among players. The story about Arthur's Pioneer Alliance and catching the blond George and the Earl of Shaomai quickly spread on the forum. In order to regain their own NPCs, the Victorians
They even launched a sniper attack on the Pioneer Alliance on the road. Of course, good players cannot just sit back and watch their guilds be attacked by the hostile camp. Many players in the Eternal Kingdom, dungeons, and friendly guilds of the Pioneer Alliance came to help.
Pioneer League.
However, there were only a few battles, and most of the time they were looking for the location of the Pioneer Alliance guild.
The dungeon is really too big. Arthur and the others are not a large-scale group operation. Instead, a small group of people sneaked to the crossroads stronghold with two NPCs. When they entered the scope of the stronghold, even if those players wanted to
There is no way to attack.
"I'm really exhausted. I haven't been offline much in the past two days."
He finally felt relieved when he led a pair of bipedal birds and beastmen into the crossroads stronghold.
In the past few days, he has been leading the two NPC teams. As for the other people, they are responsible for covering and attracting attention. After all, Arthur, Umekawa Kuzi, Sylvanas and other people are underground.
They are all very famous in the city, and most of the players are staring at them all the time, so the presence of Hoehe is much lower, so he is here to perform this task.
When the two NPCs were sent to the Eternal Kingdom dungeon, countless players came over to watch. Although they had seen human MP4s like Lancelot, NPCs with specific plots and identities like this were the first to watch.
Saw it 1 time.
Especially these two NPCs are likely to drive the next plot, and they are very curious about what adventure missions there will be.
They followed Arthur and others to the door of the Lord's Hall, and Sherlock had already known a few days ago that Arthur and the others had caught the Earl of Shaomai and the blond George, but he did not stop the players' actions.
.
When he walked out of the Lord's Hall and saw the blond George and the Earl of Shaomai in front of him, Sherlock raised his hand and let the two of them fall into a deep sleep.
Sherlock gave Arthur and the others generous rewards, including equipment, game currency, reputation, etc., but he did not intend to interrogate the two NPCs, but gave Arthur and the others a new task.
Looking for an opportunity to let go of the blond George and the Earl of Siomai.
To be honest, Arthur is a little unable to understand the plot of the game. Why is it going like this? They have just captured these two human NPCs and handed them over to Lord Sherlock. If Lord Sherlock has ideas about the ground world, he plans to attack Victoria Free City or
For other cities in the human kingdom, it is okay to interrogate these two NPCs or instigate rebellion according to common sense, but letting them go directly is a bit incomprehensible.
But Sherlock didn't explain anything, he just asked Arthur and other players to follow his orders, and the game system quickly gave them task prompts.
[Task name: Release Blond George and Earl of Shaomai]
[Task description: Mr. Sherlock does not seem to have much interest in the blond George and the Earl of Shaomai. He even thinks that they are a bit of a waste of food in the eternal kingdom dungeon. Instead of letting them consume food here, it is better to put them back on the ground.
Promote the reputation of our eternal kingdom dungeon, and let the human kings of these surface worlds tremble in fear]
[Mission goal: Without being blocked by other players, successfully send the blond George and Earl Shaomai back to the surface world alive. 】
[Task rewards: Players who participate in the task can obtain certain equipment, game currency and reputation rewards]
I have to say that the reward is still very generous. Of course Arthur did not refuse this task. Since Sherlock certainly sent these two human NPCs back to the surface world, he must have had his plan. And within two days after that, Arthur
Now it's clear what his plan is.
Because their Lord Sherlock publicly declared war on Queen Victoria, and at the same time Queen Victoria also declared war on Lord Sherlock, the only thing that has not happened yet is an epic opening battle between the leader NPCs of the two camps.
, but in the minds of players, this is only a matter of time.
And the reason for all this is because of Sherlock's plan.
——————————————
In the castle of the Free City of Victoria.
"Sherlock, I can't understand why you don't let me attack the kingdom or assist me in attacking the kingdom. Instead, you want to conduct a military exercise with me."
Queen Victoria Lilo was sitting in her chair. Just two days ago, she had just declared war on the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon, and she wanted to lead the people of Victoria's Free City to destroy the evil Eternal Kingdom Dungeon. But now he and
Sherlock, the lord of the eternal kingdom dungeon, sat together, drinking jasmine black tea, and in Sherlock's words, it was a cup of bloody chrysanthemum tea.
"Of course, you don't want us to be besieged by the human kingdom. After all, now is not the best time to conquer the world. I believe Liluo, your goal is not just to occupy the human territory on the ground world, but to attack the kingdom of heaven.
Our ultimate goal is to attack the Kingdom of Heaven, don’t forget Liluo.”
Sherlock said this with a relaxed expression.
The declaration of war against each other not long ago was all a script planned by Sherlock in advance, and his purpose was also very simple. Things in Victoria Free City have been exposed. With Liluo's character, it is very likely that she will go everywhere
Start a war.
She is not a fallen angel who knows how to be forbearing. She will never think twice about the political complexity of the human world. She will definitely use very direct and tough methods to deal with anything, such as matters in the Kingdom of God. She almost
Without even thinking, he annexed the York Territory of the Kingdom of God, and also planned to start a further war with the Kingdom of God. That would be a full-scale war.
Although Sherlock didn't want to interfere too much in Victoria's affairs, as Victoria was the base that provided raw materials for the underground city, he still hoped that Victoria could live in peace and harmony.
In addition, he had just discovered the World Tree, and he planned to use Victoria to control the world. As for the tree, he couldn't let Victoria bear the name of a war madman now. Those goblins really hate humans who provoke wars everywhere.
Since you want to get in touch with those goblins now, it is also very important for Victoria to have a good reputation. For example, the savior of the surface world, the shield of faith, these titles are quite good, and if you want such a title, then
You must face the evil creatures underground, such as the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon.
The goblins hate the creatures in the underground city more than all other races. If Victoria Freedom can resist the invasion from the underground world, then the Kingdom of God has no reason to attack Victoria Freedom City, and
The goblin's eyesight will also greatly improve his opinion of the Free City of Victoria.
Of course, Sherlock would not give up the advantage of killing two birds with one stone.
Moreover, it can add new game content to players, including PVP confrontations between players. Through observations over the past few days, Sherlock feels that they quite like it.
Of course, Li Luo would not say that.
"This is also to train the combat capabilities of those soldiers. After all, if we fight against the Kingdom of Heaven, this combat capability is far from enough. What's more, I always feel that the connection with the Free City of Victoria is a bit too shallow. I think it is necessary
Let’s have some close contact with everyone. In the future, when we take the people of Victoria Free City and the people of Eternal Kingdom Dungeon to attack the Kingdom of Heaven, they won’t be too strange, what do you think?”
In fact, there was no need for Sherlock to ask Lilo for her opinion, because Lilo had already announced to the people of the Free City of Victoria that they would start a war with the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon as per his request.
"When will the exercise start? Where will it be?"
After listening to Sherlock's explanation, Lilo asked the most crucial question.
"That's why I came here this time. I think we need to discuss it."
Sherlock said to Lilo.
The battle between the two camps should have a plot animation anyway. Even Sherlock knows this very well. As for the plot animation, what players are most looking forward to, judging from the reactions on the forum, is the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon.
The showdown between Lord Sherlock and Queen Lilo of the Free City of Victoria.
In this case, the opening battle is of course the battle between Sherlock and Lilo. Of course, it is not a real fight but an acting battle. It is just for the players to have fun watching the plot. So for a battle like this, what style should it be?
Go up, after all, with their status as Sherlock and Lilo, not to mention destroying the world, exploding everywhere, smashing holes everywhere, destroying half the city with one move, etc., they should still do something.
Of course, these special effects matters need to be discussed with Liluo to see how to do it specifically.
Then we will create an eternal kingdom, with the underground city frantically attacking the Free City of Victoria, while the Free City is desperately defending against the evil from the underground world, with wave after wave of attacks.
Of course, Queen Victoria Lilo would not publicize these public offices herself. Sherlock had already found publicity personnel for her, namely the blond George and the Earl of Siomai.
This is also the purpose of Sherlock releasing the blond George and the Earl of Shaomai.
——————————————
The blond George was sitting in prison. He was trying hard to stay awake and felt great pain in the back of his head.
The beastman hit himself on the back of the head with the handle of the dagger, apparently without paying attention to the severity.
In fact, the blond George has not been in good spirits these days. It is a miracle among miracles that he was not hammered to death.
His spirit has been in a trance these past few days due to the injury to the back of his head. Various battles and things happened along the way, and he is not very clear about them. Only when he is awake occasionally, the bilateral layout will be
Tell him about what happened on the road, such as how people from the Free City of Victoria came and attacked the beastmen who captured them.
Although it is not clear why those people in Victoria fought all the monsters in the dungeon to snatch them away, it was obviously not for the bounty.
The only thing that can be thought of is the people of the Free City of Victoria, who are the race on the surface and the underground race. The blond George and the Earl of Shaomai are the same, but in the face of this hatred, they cherish it even more.
It's just their own lives, and the people in Victoria's Free City don't care about their own lives at all. They seem to care more about glory.
And this is also good for the blond George and the Earl of Shaomai. The Earl of Shaomai once thought that he was going to be free, but in the end those Victoria dogs still failed to defeat the monsters in the dungeon, and they were repelled every time they attacked.
.
Then they came to an unknown stronghold. Because both of them were locked in a cage and covered with thick cloth, the Earl of Shaomai could not see clearly what was going on outside the stronghold. He only knew that he was following him.
The beasts passed through a portal and then came to a huge dungeon. The bustling level of that dungeon left him stunned.
The Earl of Shaomai never thought that there would be such a luxurious city in the underground world. Although the current Eternal Kingdom underground city is not as prosperous as you made it, it is definitely far away compared to the Duke of York's castle.
Far surpassing him, after all, the players have worked hard for nearly a year, and Sherlock did not skimp on the cost of construction.
The appearance of the Eternal Kingdom dungeon has long since changed from the appearance of the abandoned dungeon at the beginning.
But no matter how surprised he was, the most important thing was his own life. Count Shaomai was thinking about how to escape from here all the time. But looking at the bustling underground city of Shaomai, the Count knew that the possibility of his escape was extremely slim, and
The people in the underground world have found a passage through the surface world, and they are probably about to launch an attack on the surface world.
In fact, judging from what the Earl has seen outside the window in the past few days, these monsters in the underground world have probably launched an attack on the surface world, but they have encountered fearless Victorians.
These Victorians built their cities right on their access to the surface.
Then the underground world and the Victorians clashed, and they are likely to fight to this day. Why didn't these Victorians go to the players? The Earl of Shaomai was very puzzled by this question, if they spread the news that the monsters in the underground world had come to the surface
If so, I believe that no one in the human kingdom will ignore it at all, and the Holy Bishop's Court will immediately send people to help them to resist the monsters in the underground world.
Of course, it is impossible to say how united those human kingdoms are, but at least the Duke of York will not attack the Free City of Victoria.
If the Free City of Victoria is the bridgehead against the monsters of the underground world, then Duke Date will not even attack the Free City of Victoria. He will not be able to send money to them in time. No one wants those monsters of the underground world to break out of their
From underground to above ground.
Thousands of years ago, the memory of the great demon almost conquering the world with countless evil races in the underground world has not disappeared yet. There are legends about the terror of the underground world everywhere, as well as the memory of the great demon.
legend.
And in this case, if they attack the Free City of Victoria, they will definitely denounce and attack other nobles in public opinion and diplomatic occasions.
But these are no longer things that the Earl of Shaomai can consider. He doesn't even know whether his own life can be saved, so why should he think about these things? The Earl of Shaomai sighed and leaned his head against the cold wall.
.
I didn't expect that I would encounter such a thing, not as a hero fighting against monsters in the underground world, but as a prisoner.
