Chapter 324 Hunting the Dread Demon King
Before determining the number and location of the Dread Lords, Herad was not prepared to take action against them.
However, the suppression of the Kingdom of Lordaeron has been fully launched.
For example, he persuaded the powerful nobles of the Kingdom of Lordaeron to revolt.
The things of the Eternal God Religion are very attractive to the lower class commoners and small nobles.
The powerful nobles were not interested.
Is there any point in gaining immortality by becoming the living dead?
The senses such as eyes, ears, mouth, and nose are permanently missing, and one relies on the special senses of the undead to observe things, which is no different from being dead.
The inferior immortality obtained by becoming an undead creature is something that even knowledgeable people will look down upon.
No one would be willing to continue serving this kingdom and then turn into a rotting, stinking living corpse.
They used various channels to explore the secrets of the kingdom and find those suspicious people who were hiding deeply.
The local snakes in the Kingdom of Lordaeron are not as efficient as the fern tree people who are on duty 24 hours a day.
But their personal connections are very powerful, extending to every corner of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
The Dreadlords think they have control over the kingdom.
Their internal defenses have become quite weak.
Who would have thought that the king could pull out Frostmourne and become a living death knight, yet there would be troublemakers among his subordinates?
The investigation efficiency of powerful nobles is not very good.
However, they introduced some special fern tree people into the country through long-term smuggling channels and planted them in more important areas.
Those fern trees are very ordinary and have emerald green leaves.
It looks like a normal landscape tree.
Their detection ability is no different from other fern tree people.
The color of the leaves is darker and lighter, which only affects photosynthesis and will not affect the detection ability.
The big purple-leafed trees and treants over there with the night elves, aren’t they growing well?
Under the operation of the powerful nobles, well-camouflaged fern tree people were planted in the royal city and towns everywhere.
Their treasonous behavior went unnoticed by the Dread Lord and King Terenas.
After all, it is not suspicious for nobles to plant a few trees on their property.
The spy trees silently pay attention to the movements of suspicious targets, looking for the daily patterns of those guys.
Soon the Dread Lords were targeted one after another.
If the targets are ordinary people, you only need to drop self-destructing drones at this time to kill them easily.
However, if these guys were really Dread Lords, they wouldn't be able to be killed even if they were hit in the face with a large-caliber howitzer.
Sending strong men to assassinate is the most effective way to deal with the Dread Lord.
But I want to take action against a veteran like the Dread Lord.
It is safe to find them all and solve them all at once.
After more than ten days of careful exploration, Herard discovered that the number of Dread Lords was indeed small.
The exact number is probably six.
Due to the zero-tolerance policy of other kingdoms towards the Eternal Cult, the Dreadlords all entered the Kingdom of Lordaeron to develop.
Five of them gathered in the Royal City of Lordaeron, and one lurked in Andorhal to brainwash believers.
Seeing that the time was ripe for action, Herad temporarily transferred Ursalus back from the alien planet and sent him to the Royal City of Lordaeron to hunt down the Dread Lord.
Xal'atath, who has been operating locally, is the one who goes to deal with Andorhal.
The Dread Lord is not weak.
Tichondrius is even more powerful than Xalatas can deal with.
Xal'atas has no objections to this distribution method at all.
It is not His style to be brave and aggressive.
Engaging in conspiracy and assassination is what He is best at.
However, the action plan He provided to Ursales, the gold-medal thug, included the task target of capturing Tichondrius alive for interrogation.
Interrogating the Dread Lord is basically unreliable.
Those guys may not have strong fists, but their mouths are very tough.
A dead duck's tough mouth is a true reflection of them.
Obviously Xal'atath has his own agenda.
Andorhal is not very far from the Royal City of Lordaeron.
At Xal'atath's flying speed, which was several times the speed of sound, it only took a few minutes to fly over Andorhal.
Farming business is Andorhal's only industry.
Therefore, this important town is not actually considered wealthy.
Compared with Stratholme, which has prosperous trade, Andorhal is at the younger brother level in terms of population and building scale.
The permanent population of the city will not exceed 200,000.
The buildings are generally very low, mostly made of cheap earth and stone bungalows.
The quality can only be said to be so-so, about the same as a house in an ordinary town.
The more decent ones are the town hall in the city and the hotels that accommodate merchants and travelers.
These two- or three-story buildings are quite large.
As an urban building, it is barely qualified.
The Dreadlord's current location is relatively low-key.
It was staying in a hotel not far from the town hall.
Due to the rebellion launched by the lords of Hearthglen in the north, the inn business in Andorhal has completely collapsed!
It is currently used to house newly arrived soldiers and psychics.
These people have nothing to do with civilians.
Therefore, Xal'atath has no pressure when he takes action.
He smashed down from the sky and made a big hole in the roof of the hotel.
The shocked psychic was about to shout when a full-moon scimitar that was neither gold nor wood grazed his throat.
Xal'atath's sword skills follow the path of a high elf ranger.
The melee combat skills of the high elf rangers pursue ultra-high harvesting efficiency.
They like to use weak but very deadly attacks to kill their enemies.
Therefore, the sharply curved blade can only cut off the psychic's main artery.
When the psychic clutched his neck and collapsed, he was still thankful that the knife left him with a whole body.
If it were a reckless warrior, it would be normal to chop off his head with a knife.
Before the enemies in the room were completely dead, Xal'atath had already broken through the wooden wall and entered the next door.
The person living next door is also a psychic.
This kind of novice spellcaster with no decent fighting ability, even if he successfully activates the bone shield, still can't stop Xal'atath's sharp blade.
The bone shield is almost as good as tofu in front of the artifact-level Full Moon Scimitar!
He cut off the white bones in the way with one knife, and then wiped the psychic's neck.
The only effect of those bones was to misjudge Xal'atath's attack.
The blade that originally only cut the aorta cut a little deeper.
Cut off half of the psychic's neck.
Black blood spurted out, turning the room into a slaughterhouse with the wrong color.
Xal'atath's move to burst into the hotel and kill everyone frightened the Dreadlord to death.
After all, Andorhal is a large city with a population of over 200,000.
Therefore, there are not many hotels in the city.
