In Eternal Kingdom Dungeon.
“Lord Sherlock, according to the intelligence from our gamers, the Godly Kingdom’s army is stationed outside Goldshire Town. The gamers are interacting with them,” Bru said to Sherlock, who was sitting in front of his computer table.
“Good, give out the Strange Encounter Missions and let the Victorians interact with them. Try to fleece as much money and equipment from them as possible,” Sherlock nodded and said.
“No problem. But Lord Sherlock, do you intend to let these Human kingdoms be part of our Dungeon’s operation? Why don’t we use the chance to conquer all of them! We’ll take the first step towards conquering the world with the Godly Kingdom!”
Bru was excited. But, like before, Sherlock didn’t share Bru’s enthusiasm. He said, “We’ll discuss world conquest at a later time. Did the gamers request aid?”
“Lord Sherlock, I followed your order and gave the gamers Strange Encounter Missions aimed at attracting Winterfell’s attention. Pardon my frankness, but the gamers created too much of a ruckus. Even if they listen to the gamers’ request, they’ll treat them as a joke or prank,” Bru said awkwardly.
“Those who are willing to help are few in number. I don’t understand why you didn’t approach Nicholas. With your close relationship with Nicholas, he would definitely provide assistance.”
Sherlock pondered for a while and replied, “It’s too troublesome. If I tell Nicholas, there will be lots of procedures to follow. The Merchant Alliance will send their people to contact me. Even the Devil Management Committee will contact me. I might as well push everything to the gamers and let them request aid. Anyway, they won’t really fight.”
“Even if Nicholas believes the gamers, he’ll ask you for validation. The Merchant Alliance and the Devil Management Committee will still contact you. Besides, you have already declared war on the Surface World. Will the Humans of the Surface World sit back and do nothing? There are many ambitious Dungeon Lords in the Underworld. Perhaps you can start a war between these two factions, Lord Sherlock.”
Bru sounded excited and spoke with much anticipation. But Sherlock shook his head and said, “Believe me, they won’t fight. The Dungeon Lords won’t bother themselves with the Humans and aren’t interested in conquering the world, especially the Devil Management Committee and the Merchant Alliance. The Devil Management Committee and the Merchant Alliance won’t be able to find me.”
Sherlock took out a ticket and said, “I’m going on a long trip to deal with Evelynn’s problem. I’ll let you handle the Dungeon’s affairs. Follow my instructions. The Surface World and the Underworld won’t start a war.”
“Really? Lord Sherlock, you’re leaving the Dungeon at this critical juncture?”
“That’s correct. Evelynn’s problem is more important.” Sherlock stood up and said, “Follow my plan.”
…
Patrick Star obtained an incredible piece of news. The Surface World’s Humans, Elves, and Fairies, who had vanished for many years, appeared in the Underworld!
Patrick Star was prepared to verify the authenticity of the news.
When he arrived at Eternal Kingdom, he was surprised to see Senior Captain Cherry!
Patrick Star was a Winterfell press reporter. He was investigating the invasion of the Surface World’s monsters. As a news reporter, even if it was a dangerous thing, he had to brace himself and go to the frontline for his job.
But Senior Captain Cherry wasn’t a news reporter, he was an anti-terrorist official of the Merchant Alliance.
Was Senior Captain Cherry there because Eternal Kingdom requested help from the Merchant Alliance?
If that was the case, it was unprecedented in news history.
Eternal Kingdom and the Merchant Alliance’s Winterfell collaborated together to fight against the monsters of the Surface World! For the glory of the Underworld!
Just by thinking about the headline, Patrick Star was feeling excited. He had the urge to charge to the frontline and fight against the monsters of the Surface World.
It was just his imagination. After all, he had to write the news.
“Patrick Star?”
As Patrick Star was thinking of an appropriate headline, he heard Senior Captain Cherry shouting at him.
Patrick Star quickly recovered himself.
“Ah? Senior Captain Cherry!”
Patrick Star looked at Senior Captain Cherry and greeted him. Senior Captain Cherry asked curiously, “Why are you here? Is there any big news?”
“Of course, there’s big news! The monsters of the Surface World are attacking Eternal Kingdom!” Patrick Star said excitedly.
As for Senior Captain Cherry, he covered his face helplessly and said, “So you’ve heard the news too. I knew it…”
“Er, what do you mean…”
Senior Captain Cherry explained, “The news of the invasion of the monsters of the Surface World is just rumors! I was here three days ago. Everyone said that there were Surface World monsters, but I didn’t see any invasion of Eternal Kingdom. There weren’t even Dire Wolves and Spiders.”
Senior Captain Cherry sounded angry. As the Senior Captain of the Winterfell Garrison Guards, he was very busy. However, he was asked by Dungeon Lord Nicholas to investigate. He couldn’t go home for a few days, and he didn’t find anything in the dilapidated Eternal Kingdom. He thought that they could have been fooled by the inhabitants of Eternal Kingdom. Anybody would have felt angry in that situation.
Though Senior Captain Cherry spoke confidently, Patrick Star thought that things weren’t that simple. If it was a prank, then not all of the inhabitants of Eternal Kingdom would say the same thing. Patrick Star believed in the inhabitants of Eternal Kingdom, as they protected him from the Ogres and in the Black Volcano incident.
Patrick Star decided to verify the facts.
“I understand, Senior Captain Cherry. Thank you for your kind gesture. As a professional news reporter, I have to find out the truth!”
Senior Captain Cherry understood that it was Patrick Star’s duty and kept quiet.
Senior Captain Cherry had completed his task. During his stay at the Dungeon, he didn’t witness any signs of battle. Even Lord Sherlock was missing. He heard Lord Sherlock had gone for a tour.
If his Dungeon was being attacked, would he have the mood to go on a tour?
Just as Senior Captain Cherry was leaving Eternal Kingdom, he saw a Black Dragon at the plaza. He was holding a huge trumpet and rallying the warriors of Eternal Kingdom.
“Gather, gather! We’re setting off for the Surface World No. 1 Counterattack Campaign. Those who want to participate, register immediately!”
Many gamers of Eternal Kingdom dashed towards Eggface. Patrick Star and Senior Captain Cherry recognized the Black Dragon, Eggface, who was Lord Sherlock’s favorite secretary.
The name of the Black Dragon was awe-inspiring and very domineering!
Both Senior Captain Cherry and Patrick Star were taken aback. Even Eggface was rally troops to counterattack the Surface World. Perhaps there really were monsters of the Surface World who were attacking Eternal Kingdom.
“Wait for me, wait for me. I’m following you!”
Patrick Star reacted fast, quickly walking towards Eggface. He couldn’t afford to miss such an important piece of news.
Senior Captain Cherry hesitated for a while before he followed behind Patrick Star. His task was to investigate whether or not Eternal Kingdom had been attacked by monsters of the Surface World. Then he would decide whether Winterfell would participate.
Eggface gathered the gamers very fast. There were thousands of gamers ready for combat. Under Eggface’s order, they traveled via the Teleport Portals and walked in the direction of the crossroad intersection outpost.
