Out of the Lonely Mountain (Part I)

A gold mine provides an income of 500 gold per 12 hours, which means that a liege can earn 1000 gold a day.

1000 gold is a lot of money for current players, so the troops guarding the gold mine will not be too weak.

The first gold mine captured by Shirley's legion in the Lonely Mountain region was occupied by over 60 combat-ready ronins, including more than 10 +1 classes alone. The combat effectiveness is definitely not much weaker than that of ordinary villages, but for the already increasingly powerful Lonely Mountain Legion, it is just a one-time night battle.

The figure of the Lord of the Lonely Mountain named Shirley finally appeared in the sight of the gods, still faint and weak.

"The so-called road of conquest turned out to be such a pleasant thing, and those people, no matter what their stories and pitiful backgrounds, if they stopped us, they were enemies and they would face destruction. And I will finally be crowned king of this valley that has not begun to lose its life in the lonely mountains, and my subjects will cheer for me, for me, the king of lifeless! ”

Shirley took a deep breath and shouted out the above.

She holds a black flag with red stripes in her hand, and wears a helmet on her head that resembles a laurel wreath but a headband.

In front of her were more than 1,000 undead workers and soldiers in the Lonely Mountain.

What she saw before her was pure pleasure, a malice of the most primitive kind, a malice towards all that spread out for no reason or for any reason.

[Mission: Unification within the Lonely Mountain]

[Miss Falcon, through your efforts, you have finally unified the interior of the Lonely Mountain. It's time to be officially crowned lord of the region, your story will start to be spread out as a legend, you will have more visibility among NPCs, and players will find a zombie lady named Shirley in the Tavern to unify the lonely mountain, and the bard will sing your story out. This also means that you are ready to conquer the outer Lonely Mountain region, while bordering the territories of other regions. 】

[Quest Reward: Obtained based on your quest evaluation.] 】

[Evaluation: Shirley-Falcon In the days when she was resurrected as a zombie, she must personally lead the army in every battle, and has incredible action and talent. There is a very significant improvement in the grasp of people's hearts, and the tone of character is evil. Shirley-Falcon is undoubtedly a creature of darkness, but perhaps the evil ones also have a chance to redeem the evildoers, and there is no doubt that Shirley-Falcon, with her completely pure desire to do evil, can be called a saint of pure black malice. 】

[Obtain items, banners of salvation for the wicked]

Shirley's actions seem to fit in well with some god or some strange way of thinking about the game, and thus reap huge benefits. Including the banner in her hand and the true ownership of the inner area of the Lonely Mountain, she can be called Countess Shirley from this day forward.

"From today, to kill the inside of the Lonely Mountain, we will occupy the entire Lonely Mountain!"

――Treasures――

Banner of Salvation for the Wicked: A treasure that only the truly wicked but pure can possess, creatures under this banner receive an additional morale bonus, just like the banner of the Holy Maiden beneath the corresponding banner. Including the undead who have no morale effect will receive a huge bonus, and when the banner appears at the front of the battlefield, all evil creatures will come up with the idea of protecting it. This is the banner of the savior of the wicked, and the corresponding requirement is that the use of this flag must lead by example.

[Effect]: +5 Dark Faction Morale, +2 Soldier Attack Damage, +15% Soldier Movement Speed, 25% damage reduction and 20% damage bonus when holding this banner

[Special Abilities]:

Command: Unleash a powerful aura to blast the entire army, gaining +50% damage bonus for 15 seconds

Lead by example! : Gain a 25% acceleration aura that automatically releases when the banner appears in and near the forward position.

[Holder]: Shirley Falcon

――Treasures――

Compared to the banner in Shirley's hand, the longsword in her hand was not a rare thing, just an ordinary longsword with +1 lethality. Although it is a good weapon, it is not rated as a treasure, and the Salvation Banner of the wicked also allows Shirley to see the power of treasures. Just one of these treasures is enough to turn the tide of the battle, if you have two or three?

It was finally Shirley who threw this unrealistic idea out of her mind.

She was also the first to complete the task of unifying the region to have such an additional reward.

Speaking of the first one, it is finished...

Her eyes lit up again, sparkling as if she had found a good toy. Shirley thought, if the first to complete the regional quest will have a treasure, then what if the first to complete such an epic quest as the King of the Lonely Mountain? Isn't it necessary to have a treasure as well?

The thought of this makes this guy motivated. Without saying a word, he ordered Claire, Cynthia, and Saruman to prepare the soldiers-

"Lord, it's only been less than three days since you conquered the inner area of the Lonely Mountain, and you're going to have to mobilize a lot of troops, is it a bit reckless?"

Saruman took a step forward and persuaded that his future was already bound to the zombie lady in front of him. Therefore, he also assisted with his heart, and when he met these topics that Claire and Cynthia didn't dare to say or wanted to say, he also bluntly put forward.

Shirley nodded with interest in the face of her subordinates' questions, she was becoming more and more surprised at the intelligence of these NPCs.

"On the front I answer your question, on the back I won't answer it."

As is the old rule, Shirley pulled out a coin and wanted to toss it excitedly.

In the next second, Saruman snatched the gold as fast as a mage could do, his eyes filled with a strange, almost obsessive-compulsive sense of correction.

"Lord! There are no heads and tails to gold coins! ”

"Ahh Do spellcasters like to wrestle with these questions? Shirley said without resentment.

"Lord!"

Claire and Cynthia had said this kind of thing, but it was not as oppressive as Saruman, and the young mage seemed to be really angry.

In the end, Shirley could only reluctantly tell her plan.

"We want to unify Gushan in the fastest possible time, and our performance has already made many people notice us. Do you know how many under-beaten paladins can be caused by the presence of an undead regime on the ground? We urgently need to get stronger. ”

Shirley's face was expressionless, but it was clear that Saruman had misunderstood.

It turns out that the lady of the lord started the road of conquest with such an idea... The world where people will be killed if you don't kill people is so cruel, and I am willing to do my best to protect your world.

Saruman went down as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and both Shirley and Claire were inexplicable when they saw it. Only Cynthia touched her smooth chin with a little feeling, and then shook her head.

This sad child probably misunderstood the meaning of Shirley wanting to go outside and kill and slash, right?
