Chapter 944: Chapter 594, died in the first sentence.
Meet with them as a member of the Blood Clan?
When forces clash, it’s common to arrange for envoys to negotiate.
But now that the troops are already at the gates, we’re just one step away, what is there left to negotiate?
Why not just fight it out?
Putting on a coat, Rolana continued to ask, “Will Amanda not meet them herself?”
This time, the attack on Odys is also in the name of the Blood Clan.
...
In essence, it is Amanda’s war of restoration, which has little to do with Rolana herself.
Throughout the journey, she didn’t manage anything, and slept until now.
Now they want her to meet the people opposite, but she doesn’t know how to handle it.
Outside the carriage, she continued, “Queen Amanda said, she wants you to take charge.”
“Alright, I know now,” said Rolana, nodding.
She opened the carriage door and saw the Bound Spirit Guardians waiting outside.
She glanced at the endless army of White Bone surrounding her.
Spreading her Bat Wings, she flew toward the central area, to see that envoy as well, but first she’d have to inquire about Amanda’s intentions.
Lest she accidentally ruin some plan.
Soon after, Rolana unfolded her wings and flew in another direction.
There, a stone structure had been erected, serving as a temporary reception area.
Landing beside the building, she saw Dong Jiayue already waiting nearby.
Rolana asked, “Where’s that envoy?”
Dong Jiayue said, “He hasn’t arrived yet but should be here soon.”
“Let’s go inside and wait.”
The two then entered the building.
The interior was sparsely furnished.
A long table and a few chairs.
A piece of Nightstone hung overhead.
The whole room served as a temporary place for discussing military tactics.
It would be useful for a few days, and after the war ended, it wouldn’t be needed anymore, no need for any special decorations either.
The two sat down on the chairs.
Soon, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Following that, the Bound Spirit Guardians announced, “My lord, the emissary from Black Horn City has arrived.”
“Let him in!”
The door opened.
Two figures, one short and one tall, walked in.
Both were Undead Skeletons.
The one in front was short, with a skull broad at the top and narrow at the bottom, clearly showing Goblin features.
Dressed in a black base outfit with red embroidery, his neck bone and finger bones adorned with gold necklaces and rings.
The other Undead followed behind, from the bone structure and height, he was evidently a human turned into an Undead Skeleton.
From the positioning of the two Undead,
it was clear that the shorter Undead was in charge, with the human Undead as his companion.
Rolana and her companion sized them up, and the two Undead did the same.
They hadn’t expected to be received not by the Blood Clan leader, the Red Duke, but by two young women.
So young.
Their eyes swept over each other.
The short Undead was the first to greet them, saying, “I’ve met the two young ladies. I’m an official sent by the King of Odys, named Glover. I wonder if I could meet with Lord Red Duke. We are old acquaintances.”
You could tell that the Goblin Undead was adept at building relationships.
His behavior was both polite and he mentioned past relations.
In the dynamics of regional power,
humans and Dwarfs were strategic allies, while Undead and the Blood Clan were closer.
Although it had been a long time, they hadn’t contacted each other for many years.
Of course, for Undead and Blood Clan, time wasn’t an issue.
It only made their relationship sound even closer.
Dong Jiayue didn’t show any reaction; she didn’t understand much about the matters of Crescent Heights.
But ‘Rolana,’ upon hearing the Undead’s words,
her eyes instantly turned icy, and she emitted an almost tangible aura of killing intent.
What seemed like a perfect opening remark.
Suddenly the atmosphere in the room felt different.
Even the two Undead, who had lost their sensory nerves, now felt a chill that seeped into their souls.
The short Undead Glover immediately explained, “We mean no harm, we come with sincerity.”
What’s going on?
I didn’t do anything just now, but why does it feel like they want to kill me now?
Rolana, looking directly at them, asked, “Are you close with the Red Duke?”
Glover immediately responded, “Very close. I was in charge of trade between the Great Cemetery and Crescent Heights, and the last interaction involved arranging for Black Horn City’s finest blacksmith to craft a huge silver coffin for him. You could say that I and Red…”
Poof!!
A crisp, cracking sound abruptly ended Glover’s words.
All eyes turned in surprise to see a dark red energy spear piercing through the small Undead’s skull.
The Soul Fire in his pupils flickered in struggle, then quickly extinguished.
The body, dressed in luxurious robes, also instantly collapsed into a pile of bones.
“Throw it out,” Rolana said coldly.
Dong Jiayue glanced around the room and finding no one else, bent down to search through the scattered bones.
She found a small bag of Gold Coins, keys, a gold necklace, a gemstone ring.
And a finely made Soft armor, a piece of purple equipment that was worn under the jacket.
However, the Soft armor was too small, suitable only for a Goblin.
Having gathered the items on the long table, the bones were collected and tossed out the window.
Like disposing of a pile of trash.
The other human Undead, with its Soul Fire trembling violently,
felt shock, fear, and confusion.
What’s happening?
Glover had just started to ingratiate himself when he was killed.
And, I didn’t even see where that dark red energy spear came from that shattered Glover’s skull.
