Chapter 8: Forcing the Palace
Town Hall at Night
Lu En carefully looked at the spacious hall, the books on the shelves on the walls were neatly arranged in it, and it seemed that the former owner of this room was very cultured.
He walked straight to his desk, picked up the paper of the signed attack plan for Raven Ridge on the table, and sneered. Lu En only led an undead army of less than three hundred to take down Nighttown.
If Nightshade had put a large number of troops into the attack plan of Raven Ridge, the final result would only be a failure.
He sat down in his chair and pondered.
How should Nighttown run in the future? Will it be better to follow the duke's path and harass caravans, plunder the Wild West, or make some special snacks such as roasted spider legs?
Lu En slid his fingers on the table, he was naturally reluctant to plunder, because although the plunder was very cool for a while, the negative effects and sustainability of the plunder were greatly reduced.
"That's fine, let's start farming in Nightshade again, and then think about other things. Lu En threw aside the decree paper on the desk, then took down a blank piece of paper and began to write the decree with a brush.
Anyway, Lu En has become the de facto ruler of Nightlight Town, and as long as the main meaning is expressed, there will be many people who will polish it for him.
"The key is whether or not I will be transformed into an undead after a while. Lu En put the decree on the cultivation of farmland next to the desk and stroked his forehead with his hand: "And ...... Will the city be slaughtered by the undead? ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a rush of footsteps from outside the city hall, and Dani walked slowly into the house from outside the house, looking at Lu En next to the desk, with a trace of hesitation and confusion on her face: "Those Stormwind soldiers who fled for their lives have been eliminated by me, and they have completely become ghouls under my command." ”
"There are ten...... I added them to your ghoul squad. Dani slowly walked to Lu En's side, and then asked suspiciously, "You don't have anything to say about your ability to summon the Frost Dragon, and the Frost Sorrow?"
Lu En raised his head and looked at the Salain in front of him: "Regarding this matter, I can only say that this is the order of the Icecrown Fortress, and it is Kel'thugad who gave me the authority to do so. ”
"By the way, Kel'thugad also instructed me not to turn me into an undead, because my current human status will help me blend into the political circles of the Stormwind Kingdom, and finally Kel'thugad also declared me the Supreme Commander of the Eastern Kingdom. ”
Dani frowned tightly, "Kel'thugad, the Supreme Commander of the Stormwind Kingdom Political Circle?"
"Why, I didn't receive such a strange order?"
Lu En shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know either...... However, you know me very well that I am just a human being, and on the battlefield, the spells I can cast are definitely not the ones that can be cast by a human identity, so are you willing to believe me?"
Dani snorted coldly, she looked out the window at the night, only to see a faint red light floating in the mountains not far away, it was clear that dawn was coming, a new day was about to begin.
"I don't believe you. ”
"But I can't explain why you suddenly have the sorrow of frost. Dani said as she looked at Lu En, who was sitting in the mayor's chair, with scarlet eyes, "Then I believe your words for the time being." ”
Dani stretched a lazy stretch: "Alright, the day is coming, I'm going to taste the blood of a human, and then I'll fall into a deep sleep." ”
"Wait. Lu En shouted at Daini, "I have no intention of turning all the humans in this town into undead. ”
Dani frowned slightly: "What?"
Every time the Scourge conquers a town, it will kill all the creatures in the town and transform them into undead, which is also the core of the Scourge Legion's ability to grow bigger and stronger in the northern kingdom of Lordaeron, and it is also a very important tradition in the Scourge Legion, but when Lu En did not plan to perform this tradition, Daini quickly sensed that something was wrong.
Dani stared at Lu En with pale red eyes, "I need an explanation, otherwise." ”
The aura of death gradually emanated from Daini's graceful body, and soon Lu En also felt the threatening aura on Daini's body, but Lu En was not afraid, he just calmly put the quill in his hand in the ink.
He stared at Deni in front of him, "I didn't plan to kill all the humans in one go. ”
"I've said before that I'm going to blend in with the politics of the Stormwind Kingdom. ”
Dani snorted coldly, "Ridiculous, you are stained with the stench of the undead, do you think the priest of Stormwind City will not be able to detect you?"
Lu En said lightly: "That's why I don't allow all the humans in Night Town to be killed, and they still need to continue to live in this land." ”
Lu En smiled and said, "I know what you're thinking, you want blood...... Isn't it? ”
"Well, we regularly ask residents to pay blood as a blood tax, what do you think, so that you can have fresh blood to taste every month. ”
Lu En stared at Daini in front of him: "This is the compromise I made for you, every time I capture a city in the future, I will make the human race pay the blood tax regularly, after all, the production efficiency of the undead is too low." ”
Lu En said as he took out a piece of immaculate paper from the side of his desk: "Now I will sign the blood tax, do you think it's okay?"
Deni narrowed her eyes and said in a low voice, "If I find out in the future, Kel'thugad did not release such a ...... to you Strange orders, you will die a miserable death. ”
With that, Dani turned and left the town hall.
The House of Bloodfangs in Night Town
Since last night, there has been a series of howls of the undead on the streets of Nighttown, and the wails of those undead will make people feel creepy even if they are simply listened to.
Margaret Murphy took the roasted sweet potatoes out of the fire pit, and as the only young man in the farm, Margaret felt that it was her duty to take on the responsibility of the family.
Although the undead did not break through the wooden door and then capture and kill the entire family, Margaret knew very well that these undead would not let them go.
At least, Margaret's mother was a refugee from Lordaeron, and she had heard too much about the undead from her mother's words since she was a child.
Those undead have scorched all of Lordaeron.
Margaret took the roasted sweet potatoes to an old woman who was shivering on the bed: "Mother, those spirits have not yet entered our house. ”
"We're alive. ”
