As Sarean and his party entered the city, the high-ranking officials of Eldron Rub were arguing in the palace.

Standing on the throne platform, Anubarak looked helplessly at the noisy ministers.

The battle on the front line is urgent, and even the brave and skilled Spider Lord Anubrekan has died at the hands of the undead, and this bad news quickly exploded in the upper echelons of Eldronerub.

Today, the ministers of Eldron Rub are roughly divided into three factions.

Capitulation, recalcitrant, and conversion.

Both the capitulation faction and the recalcitrant platoon are well understood, and the core ideas of the conversion faction can be summed up in one sentence.

Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood.

As long as the decision-making hierarchy led by King Anubarak remains, the country will not be destroyed, and sooner or later there will be a chance to reclaim the territory captured by the undead scourge in the future.

The three parties have their own opinions, do not give in to each other, each has its own reason, and Anubarak does not know which faction he should fall to as a king.

"Hey~"

Looking at the noisy ministers in the audience, Anubarak sighed in dismay.

"If it weren't for the fact that a large number of main combat forces didn't dare to pull it back, just the undead...... Hum! ”

"Stop! Who are you! Why trespass on the palace! ”

Just as Anubarak was hesitating to use the last resort, the loud shouts of the guards came from outside the palace gates, and the sound even overwhelmed the chamber like a vegetable market.

"It's ......"

Anubarak's tentacles moved: "Amplification spells? ”

"I'm Polva Skye! The only heir to the fallen Frontier Lord Nurich Skye! I have important things to report to His Majesty! ”

"It's about the survival of the kingdom, get out of the way!"

"Bold! You ......"

The clash outside the door caused the ministers who had been arguing to stop, and turned their heads to look at the still closed palace gate as if they were gossiping.

"That's enough."

Taking advantage of the silence in the council chamber, Anubarak shouted an order outside the door: "Guards, let them in." ”

“…… Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"Squeak~"

The heavy obsidian door slowly pushed inward, and Anubarak saw at a glance the familiar young nobleman walking in the front.

"Polva Skye, I remember you, your family is loyal to the royal family, and has guarded the borders of the kingdom for thousands of years...... It's a pity. ”

Anubarak is a large crypt spider demon who is several laps larger than the average Nirub bug and is born with a strong fighting talent.

The Crypt Spider Demon has a preeminent status in Eldronerub, with King Anubrak and the fallen Chief General Anubrekan among the best of the Clan.

It is precisely because of the transcendent status of the Crypt Spider Demon that the death of the powerful Anubrekan will have a huge impact on the upper echelons of Eldronerub.

In terms of combat effectiveness alone, I am afraid that only King Anubrak can stabilize Anubrekan in the country.

In Sarren's opinion, these ministers who blindly worship the combat power of the crypt spider demon are really a bit funny, and the state of breaking the defense without authorization also makes him a little crying and laughing.

Salian has always emphasized that until he has transcended the limits of mortals and stepped into the realm of demigods, the power of an individual is small on the battlefield where thousands of people are at every turn.

Even Sarean, who has the blood of the dragon clan, can only turn into a flying form of a ball, once surrounded by a large army.

Large-scale dragon's breath?

It is true that Salian can kill dozens or hundreds of people in one spit, but when the number of enemies reaches thousands, or even tens of thousands, what effect can a few breaths of dragon breath do?

During the defense of Yangfan Harbor, Salian had already proved this truth with practical actions.

Even the incarnation of Ursock, which has a strong defense, can also break through the enemy's non-stop spell bombardment.

Sarean didn't know the details of Anubrekan's death, but according to the blind admiration of these Nirub wormmen for the crypt spider demon clan, the spider demon lord who was fluttering in the ass all day was a waste of death, and he couldn't recognize how many catties and taels he rushed into the enemy group.

And then...... There is no then.

Caught in the midst of an undying army that knows no fear and is tireless, the flightless Anubrekan has only one way to escape.

Ground floor.

But here's the problem, after this period of fighting, the Scourge side has resurrected a lot of crypt demons, and in terms of the ability to fight holes, the crypt demons who have no pain and don't get tired are more powerful than the living Nilubu worms.

In any case, the final result of that battle was the death of Anubrekan, and the Nirub army, which had been demoralized by the chief general's personal battle, saw what it means to rise and fall, and their morale collapsed almost instantly.

As Sarjan struggled to recount Anubrekan's death with Visina's real-time translation, Polva was a little agitated and knelt on the ground, respectfully saluting Anubrak standing on the throne platform.

"Your Majesty actually remembers my name and my father's name, the Skye family is very honored!"

Anubarak gave Polva a few words of encouragement, and then turned his attention to the most conspicuous foreigners present.

"Outsiders, report your name, why did you go deep into the earth and enter the territory of the kingdom of Eldronerub?"

Anubarak's words surprised Sarean and Valeera.

Not because of the content of the discourse of this inquiry, but because of the language itself.

Anubarak actually spoke in a well-rounded Elven language, which was slightly different from Salas's tone, and Sarean speculated that it was the local dialect spoken by the ancient upper elves living in Northrend.

[Let me see, who else in Azeroth doesn't speak a second language other than their mother tongue?] 】

[Actually, if you think about it, it's not surprising. 】

[Since the Night Empire was in full swing at the beginning and established a connection with Eldron Nirub by mistake, it is normal for Nilub Zerg, who admire the splendid culture of the Night Empire, to learn Elven language. 】

[Just like in the early years when we admired everything to the west, we frantically learned the eagle language of the Ansars?] 】

[Stop! Don't talk about state affairs. 】

The origin of the Nilubu Worm can be traced back to the Dark Empire and the Yaki Empire at the earliest, and their ancestors are also broad.

However, even the Troll Empire and the Dark Empire at their peak, regardless of their combat power, there is still a big gap between them and the Night Empire in terms of culture and art.

This soft power is difficult to use in war years, but it always prevails in peacetime.

When the culture was strong, the Night Empire attracted a large number of people from other races to come and take the initiative to learn the language of the elves, just to better experience the brilliant culture and art of the Night Empire.

The kingdom of Edronerub is one of them.

After a moment of surprise, the others quickly came back to their senses.

In any case, it is a good thing that Anubarak knows Elven language, and it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes and omissions in letting Visina, who is not proficient in Elven language, translate.

Led by Saljan, Stella Gossa, Valeera, Hista, and Onyxia all bowed politely to Anubarak.

"Honorable King of Eldronerub, mighty Crypt Spider Demon Anubrak, honored to meet you."

"I am the investigative envoy appointed by the Temple of the Dragon's Sleep, Salian Deepshadow, and these three are my companions, Valera Sangunar, Hesta, the blue dragon Stella Gosa, and the black dragon Onexia."

"On the orders of the Temple of Dragon's Sleep, we have come to investigate the reason why the Nirub people appeared on the surface."

"Temple of the Dragon's Sleep ......"

Anubrak's eyes are small compared to his large size, but his eyes are very agile, and they are no different from other intelligent races.

Sarean visibly saw Anubarak's eyes fluctuate for a moment, obviously having heard of the prestige of the Temple of the Dragon's Sleep.

"I see, please apologize to the mighty dragon clan on my behalf."

"The kingdom of Edronirub has no intention of going to the ground, it is some poor people who have lost their homes in the war have temporarily fled to the surface for refuge."

"I promise that as soon as the war against the Scourge is over, the refugees will be able to return to their hometowns and settle again."

"The end of the war...... Is it? ”

Salian smiled meaningfully: "Your Majesty, we don't talk darkly, let's just get straight to the point." ”

"Forgive me, does the Eldronerub Kingdom, which has just lost a general, really have the confidence that it can repel the undead of the Scourge Legion?"

Anubarak's eyes became fierce: "What does the Venerable Envoy mean by this?" Do you think we'll be defeated by the undead? ”

Sarjan nodded without hesitation: "According to the current situation, the declining Eljanirum is not the opponent of the undead scourge that is becoming more and more courageous, if you can't find an opportunity to break the status quo...... I am afraid that the destruction of the country and the annihilation of the clan is just around the corner. ”
