Chapter 334 The Great Evil Rock Creek City
After arranging for "Master Ner'zhul" to make his debut, the rest of the press conference was very simple.
Captain Kaedwin's superb acting skills perfectly interpreted the script carefully constructed by the writer of Frost Maple Ridge East Icehouse. The southern nobles and local celebrities gathered here were stunned to hear how "Master Ner'zhul"
After being recruited by the Glorious Federation to become the official mage of the orcs, how did he contact Master Ender Spencer, a fellow necromancer lurking within the empire...
Who is Ander Spencer? Who among the nobles in the southern part of the empire doesn't know him?
Isn't that the former chief mage of Rock Creek City and the most trusted subordinate of Archduke Houston?
Although Ander Spencer had disappeared on the eve of the civil war in Rock Creek City, the southern nobles who were involved in the human network still remembered that there were rumors that Ander Spencer had inappropriate behavior, but there was no concrete evidence.
——But now that "Master Ner'zhul" was personally identified by a necromancer, everyone realized that the former chief mage of Rock Creek City was actually a heinous and fallen magic practitioner!
The story "Master Ner'zhul" later told can be called a good spy drama:
After contacting Spencer, although they were of different races, the two were both necromancers and hit it off. "In order to revive necromancy and revive Simon Adrian's academic lineage," they decided to abandon their national political opinions and pursue severe suppression.
The human empire of necromancy declares war!
After that, Master Ner'zhul was connected by Master Spencer, and he crossed the border alone and came to Rock Creek City to secretly meet with Master Spencer's boss - the famous Archduke Houston in the southern border!
This "Meeting at Rock Creek City" was later featured in the annals of the Empire (published by the Supreme Compilation and Compilation Bureau of Frost Maple Ridge). There were many overt and covert attacks, and there was no need to mention the bargaining, but the final result was: Neo
Grandmaster Zu successfully persuaded Archduke Houston to betray the Human Empire and join the orc bastards of the Glorious Federation!
The conditions offered by Master Ner'zhul to Archduke Houston are also very simple: once the Glorious Federation wins the war, then Archduke Houston can replace the imperial royal family, ascend the throne and become king with the support of the Glorious Federation, and from then on rule the entire continent under the control of the orcs.
Puppet ruler of the West!
The price tag that Dongbingku's writers fabricated for the Glorious Federation is too heavy. The character they created for Grand Duke Houston based on the major traitors in Earth's history is also too believable. In addition, Grand Duke Houston's style is a bit mysterious...
As a result, everyone present had no doubts about this "Meeting at Rock Creek" that was made out of nothing: no one would think that when the power to rule half a continent was in front of him, the Duke of Houston could really resist being moved.
Seeing that the innocent Archduke Houston had been successfully transformed into a Petain from another world, "Master Ner'zhul" seemed to be afraid that this traitor would not die quickly enough, so he dropped a series of shocking information one after another:
The robe he was wearing was personally given by the Grand Duke of Houston as a token of gratitude after the "Meeting at Rock Creek City"...
The Duke of Houston is trying to steal the Flower of Abundance in order to gain political leverage over the Stardust Elf Protectorate...
The Duke of Houston's repeated attempts to murder the great and glorious Duke of Frost Maple Ridge, whom His Majesty the Emperor most trusted, were resolved one by one by the resourceful lord and the good man of the wasteland...
In addition to these powerful information, "Master Ner'zhul" also revealed two plots that most frightened the southern nobles present:
The first one was the battle of "Kemal Manor" at that time. The reason why the participating teams from various territories of the empire were attacked was that, in addition to Count Netwan of Deadwood Forest not being the right person, the Archduke of Houston was actually the real mastermind behind the scenes!
It was under the arrangement of Archduke Houston that the entire orc ambush team was able to sneak into the empire, and then relied on the intelligence transmitted by Rock Creek City to ambush the imperial warriors outside Kemal Manor for a sneak attack!
"Master Ner'zhul" was even present when this happened, and he was a complete witness!
The death knight who attacked the imperial court mage Mephistopheles at that time was made by Master Ner'zhul by personally killing a deadwood knight provided by Count Natewan - and after the death knight was eliminated in Frost Maple Ridge, although Natewan
Earl Wan confessed and was executed, but Master Ner'zhul took advantage of the chaos and escaped back to the Glorious Federation!
However, this heinous fallen magician still persisted in his evil intentions, so he participated in the second conspiracy without stopping:
Not long ago, Master Ner'zhul was ordered by the Federation to follow the "Infernal Hammer" division across the Dust Mountains and sneak into the Soul Splitting Land, trying to sneak attack the southern border and use the undead army to back the empire that was unable to escape in the east.
one strike;
And during this sneak attack, the old thief Archduke Houston of Rock Creek City also appeared - according to Master Ner'zhul's confession, "Infernal Hammer" had actually contacted Archduke Houston, and they only needed to wait for the army to cross the Lion's Heart River.
Cooperate with the troops of Rock Creek City inside and outside to form a cheese sandwich on both sides against the princes' legions on the north bank of the Lion Heart River!
After the performance ended, the southern aristocrats and celebrities present broke out in a cold sweat:
This time the major princes organized a coalition, but Rock Creek City was closed and unable to leave. They had already had doubts in their hearts, but now it seems that the old bastard who co-authored Houston has long been a traitor!
They simply couldn't imagine that once Frost Maple Ridge failed to defend the Soul-Splitting Land and the "Purgatory Hammer" really attacked the south bank of the Lion Heart River, how would they escape and ascend to heaven despite the treason of Rock Creek City:
It is true that the Lion Heart River is a natural barrier that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, but Rock Creek City is just north of the coalition's defense position, which just chokes the entire southern supply line!
Once Yanxi City rebels and sends troops to cut off the food routes of the coalition forces, the entire defense line will collapse!
——What's more, they haven't organized any decent defense line at all...
After Master Ner'zhul finished speaking this chilling confession, the person who stood up to summarize for everyone was the serious-looking Governor Anthony Dimitri.
"Everyone, you have all heard the information obtained by Lord Igor." Dimitri took a deep breath and said solemnly, "The Grand Duchy of Houston has treason and surrendered to the enemy, and colluded with the orcs. The evidence is conclusive... No one has any objections, right?
"
The southern nobles were still immersed in the explosive news of "the Duke of Houston's treason" and were speechless at all. They could only nodded in agreement with tangled expressions.
"Then..." Dimitri said bitterly, "I, Anthony Dimitri, as the governor of the Southern Territory appointed by His Majesty Basil III, and the distinguished Lord Eliot Igor as the 'President of Southern Military Affairs'...
Now I'm afraid we need to fight for the sake of the empire, humanity, and His Majesty Basil... Everyone, the enemy is in Rock Creek City."
The room was filled with silence.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly someone stood up silently.
Everyone turned around and saw that it was Lord Moby Dicko, the Marquis of Whale City.
"Anthony...Lord Igor..." The Marquis of Giant Whale City took a deep breath, and then said resolutely, "This time against the orcs, the lords' coalition failed in many places, but when it comes to eradicating traitors, the scum from the south,
Let the southerners handle it. Our coalition forces haven't been disbanded yet. If you ask me, we might as well lead our troops to Rock Creek City and personally eradicate the traitors for His Majesty the Emperor and bring order to the southern border of the empire!"
As soon as this statement came out, the southern nobles stood up one after another and waved their fists in agreement:
There is no way, they have just been repaired by Xia Houyan, and seeing that the Igor family has a faint tendency to make a comeback, they are thinking about finding some opportunities to restore their reputation - everyone knows what kind of virtues they have after the civil strife in Rock Creek City, and now
With the army of princes at hand, how can we let go of such a convenient opportunity to beat a drowned dog and accumulate a good deal of honor?
As a result, a group of southern nobles reached a consensus at an astonishing speed and decided to lead the coalition forces north to attack Rock Creek City tomorrow, vowing to tie up the traitorous old traitor in Houston and dedicate him to our most beloved Lord Igor... Well, there are also
His Majesty the Emperor!
As for the local celebrities who Xia Houyan specially left to watch, the crowd was even more indignant:
If the orcs really cooperate with Rock Creek City and survive the dangers of the Lion Heart, the gang of southern nobles who are greedy for life and fear of death may still be able to escape, but the fortunes of these local wealthy businessmen will definitely be destroyed!
The Duke of Houston betrayed his country and surrendered to the enemy, and it was precisely the vital interests of these people that were harmed!
As soon as the press conference ended, all the local celebrities gathered around Xia Houyan and Count Dimitri, asking for donations and materials for the coalition's crusade against the national traitors. They asked for no reward, just to spit on the old Houston thieves——
Although this group of people is also suspected of having a prank and having a relationship with Shuang Maple Ridge, the anger in their eyes is still somewhat true, and it is indeed out of true feelings.
Xia Houyan and Dimitri, who were the instigators of this good show, finally arranged for the noble lords to go back to prepare their troops and horses, and then drove the local celebrities back home after a lot of effort.
By the end of the month, these people will spread the word about Duke Houston's great achievements in treason and collaboration with the enemy.
The press conference ended with a bang, and it was almost midnight. Xia Houyan and Count Dimitri could finally take a breath and sit in the newly decorated "Kingfisher Feather" hall to have a drink - except
Other than that, there were only the busy pioneer soldiers and political commissars left in the hall, rushing to clean up the mess left after the press conference.
As for "Master Ner'zhul" who won the Academy Award for the World of the Undead today with his actual performance, he also received a "Frost Maple Ridge May Day Medal" personally awarded by the lord, and was then escorted back to the East Icehouse to serve his sentence by the soldiers of the Pioneer Army.
Already.
——Since then, the Xiahou officials have officially rounded up the lies they told at Kemal Manor, and Frost Maple Ridge finally has a legitimate excuse to use the undead: it is said to be "Master Ner'zhul who converted to the revolution"
"We are trying to make up for our mistakes by using the army of the undead to help us fight in Frost Maple Ridge!"
Regardless of whether the cat is black or white, it is a good cat if it helps the empire - when the war is over, Frost Maple Ridge will naturally burn the heinous "forbidden magician" to death in public, and everyone will be happy!
Compared with pouring dirty water on Rock Creek City, Xia Houyan feels that this substitute who can use necromancy on his behalf is the biggest gain this time - otherwise he will always be worried about being burned to death by the Inquisition, and this day will not be the same.
It’s so good!
A substitute is a good thing!
However, Count Dimitri was sitting at the table, sucking from his wine glass while witnessing "Master Ner'zhul" being escorted out of the door, and was suddenly stunned.
"What's wrong?" Xia Houyan noticed that the Governor's demeanor was different and asked.
"That's not right..." Dimitri said in shock, "...this 'Master Ner'zhul' was made up by us to fool people, and it was also to cover up your necromancy... That was what happened at Kemal Manor back then.
, what happened to the death knight who attacked Master Mephistopheles? Wait... you were there at the time..."
The Southern Governor's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Lord Igor..." Count Dimitri gritted his teeth, "...tell me that you have nothing to do with that death knight."
"It does matter." Xia Houyan said calmly, "I did it...but I can assure you that I am not the traitor in the story - Master Mephisto was not killed by my death knight, and neither did I.
Colluding with the Orc Federation. But Count Netwan is really a traitor."
"You promise?" Count Dimitri stared at the Lord.
"Swear to the Holy God." Xia Houyan said with a smile.
"Okay, I believe you." Count Dimitri retracted his chair as if frustrated, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"Do you believe it?" Xia Houyan was a little surprised, "According to your thinking just now, no matter what, I am still suspected, right? - After all, I was in Kemal Manor at that time, and I created the Death Knight,
The orcs ambush and attack the imperial warriors, but I am the biggest beneficiary of Kemal’s battle..."
"Of course you are suspicious, but I choose to believe you." Count Dimitri said weakly, "By standing on the same front with you, I am gambling - so I still bet on your loyalty to the empire.
but……"
Count Dimitri held the wine glass, suddenly gritted his teeth and said sternly:
"...If one day I find out that you have betrayed the empire, betrayed humanity, and betrayed His Majesty the Emperor, then I - then I will definitely kill you with my own hands, my dear Duke Elliot Igor!
"
"Let us look forward to that day." Xia Houyan smiled, raised his glass and clinked it with Count Dimitri.
The two southern officials were still drinking and mingling with each other when the door suddenly opened and Eldridge walked in casually.
"Ai Shuai! You're here just in time!" Xia Houyan waved to his old subordinates, "Drink a few drinks with me and the Governor..."
"Okay, ah, we can make some fragrant chicken, ah, for drinks..." Eldridge chuckled, "But boss, ah, I have a, ah, good brother here. You may want to, ah, see you first."
one sight……"
"Good brother?" Xia Houyan asked in confusion, "Who is it?"
"It was me who, ah, helped you get a mage robe from Rock Creek City!" Eldridge said lazily, "It was this good brother who did it for you! He is a white man from Rose City.
Chapter completed!
