Flying sparks illuminated a huge Hammer in the Blacksmith Shop as it hammered a red hot piece of metal. It was a huge Breastplate for an Orc. What Hill had to do was refit the Breastplate for a Human.
He had been doing such things since he came to Victoria City. God knew how these Humans, Elves, and Fairies obtain Orc-sized armor and weapons.
Though Queen Victoria had informed them, when the Humans brought the huge Breastplates to them, Hill and The King were shocked.
They had stayed in Victoria City for some time and were used to surprises. They had seen Orc armor, Ogre armor, and even Giant armor.
Whatever the armor was, they refitted it and recycled the remaining metal. That was Queen Victoria’s order. For refitting equipment that required more metal, there would be a fee.
The recycled metal and equipment would be refitted before being placed on shelves for sale to the Victorians.
Today, there was a newcomer, Golden-haired George, in Victoria City.
Hill and The King had seen George before. Previously, George was a prisoner, and now, he was a guest.
Golden-haired George stood at the entrance of the Blacksmith Shop, watching the Victorians carry various equipment into the shop for refitting.
He had never seen such a situation before. Was equipment not disbursed by the authorities? Did the gamers have to prepare their own equipment? Only Knights would prepare their own equipment. Normal soldiers obtained equipment from their Lord Overseer.
Was every Victorian a Knight? That was impossible.
George wasn’t there to investigate the traditions of the Victorians. He was there to find out more about the war. The Underworld creatures were at their doorstep, so the attitude of the Victorians towards the war was important. Though Queen Victoria rejected the Godly Kingdom’s help, George believed that at the later stages of the war, she would consider accepting help.
The gamers were friendly to George. As a Strange Encounter NPC, every gamer tried to obtain benefits from him.
When George was at the Blacksmith Shop entrance to collect information, many gamers chatted with him and shared information regarding Eternal Kingdom’s attack on Victoria City.
“These fellows are tiresome pigs. They have no sense of shame. They attack us when we’re most tired. Especially those Pioneer Alliance members. Believe me, they are all bad at heart.”
“If you ask me who’s the strongest in Eternal Kingdom, the answer is Arthur. He’s a legend. During the First Beta Testing, he was already playing this game with millions of Renminbi. He’s too awesome. If there’s a chance, I’ll lick his boots.”
“Don’t listen to those traitors. They are worthless scum who will defect to Eternal Kingdom at the slightest chance. I’m the only one who is loyal to the Humans and the Light factions. What things can you offer me? Perhaps a good quality weapon?”
“I don’t want weapons. Secret manuals or Mana Skills Books will do. I’ll learn some Mana Skills. What? You don’t know what a Mana Skills Book is?”
“Bro, you said you’re here to help us, but I don’t see any equipment. Can you give us some equipment?”
The gamers were trying to solicit equipment and benefits from George. Why were they still going for equipment at this stage of the war? Was equipment more important than the Godly Kingdom’s reinforcements?
George didn’t just chat in Victoria City. He also contacted some brave Victorians to plan the next attack on Eternal Kingdom. It was going to be a huge operation. According to a deformed Hoodlum, they would be gathering thousands of Victorians to attack Eternal Kingdom at dawn and control the Teleport Portal. This would allow the Victorians to enter the Underworld at will while prohibiting the warriors of Eternal Kingdom from entering the Surface World. Whoever controlled the Teleport Portal would have the upper hand, as the Victorians could attrit the equipment of the warriors of Eternal Kingdom.
George didn’t understand why the Victorians placed more emphasis on damaging equipment rather than killing the enemies. The Underworld had an unlimited supply of equipment. However, George was unable to rebuke Hoodlum’s words. Hoodlum was previously the Duke of York’s prisoner, but now, he was one of the leaders of Victoria City. He had many Victorians under his command. To defend against Eternal Kingdom’s attacks, Hoodlum was required to lead the warriors of Victoria City.
George felt strange about their targets, but their plans were proactive and constructive. If they were able to control the Teleport Portal, they would have the battle initiative. George was a tactician, so he understood this point.
The war preparations of the Victorians were completed rapidly. Within two hours, they gathered about 2,000 to 3,000 members. Though they had different equipment and were ill-disciplined, George had a strong belief in their combat prowess, as he had fought with them before.
Around dawn, George set off with the warriors of Victoria City.
