Dark Eldar

A survey was once conducted specifically on the question: How fun is *Dark Eldar*? Are people happy playing it? This survey report is highly classified and stored in a top-secret national archive of Country A. No one has the right to access it. Only the so-called "Crown Prince Group" can view it. The "multiverse" is superficially a subordinate relationship to the "real world," an "entertainment relationship," a "monetary relationship"... But in reality, it's unclear when it started, but the timeline has been completely "imprisoned," and no one can change the past, or the past of the "other world"... —Excerpt from a *OL Ramblings* magazine

Regarding periodicals, they're quite common in the virtual world, but no one can create "Awakening" periodicals. "Order" doesn't allow too many "awakened" individuals online (occasionally, one can spout nonsense, to maintain a semblance of "fairness"). If discovered, regardless of who it is, they will be forcibly "converted." Within the vast army of "wanderers," a large number were once so-called high-level "Awakened." (Order's monitoring process is extremely strict. Even for a star hero like Loki, despite extensive publicity and promotion, if Loki "awakens," Order will still change his "identity" to "wanderer," that is, "the Forgotten.") A netizen asked offline: "Why not change their mindset? Or guide and convert them back to the right path?" The answer: "In the virtual world, if a hero 'awakens,' it's definitely an 'M-virus invasion.' Forced isolation is necessary. When the M-virus activates, they will merge with the main body, amplifying their hatred!" It will attack and destroy all otherworldly civilizations. Furthermore, it will rapidly "evolve," becoming increasingly insane! Once upon a time, the great Elder Karen, due to excessive meditation and awakening, was judged by "Order" and demoted to a "wanderer." Some suspected that Elder Karen herself no longer wanted to develop and wanted to choose an extreme "upgrade path" to leave everyone behind... But in fact, most people don't know the real reason. This situation is different from the disappearance of "Elder Joseph." One was announced, the other was not announced at all...

Kevin Garnier (933232), after a brief but decisive victory against the fishmen of "Gulu Island," the Dark Legion once again crushed them! They obtained many native weapons, including a Dragonbone Blade (blue, level 50), a Bone Bow and Arrows (blue, level 39), and a Bone Sword (blue, level 52)! The durability of bone artifacts is rather low, not even comparable to metal weapons of the same level. However, the accessories made of bone equipment are excellent (beautifully crafted) and can be enchanted with poison (in large doses). Dark rolled all the loot, and the tenacious human soldiers only received a blue bone bow, which was given to the newly joined excellent soldier "Parker." (Soul-bound, can be redistributed; Parker, human, level 41, swordsman)

"Lord Dark, what should we do with the merfolk?" In the middle of the lake, on a withered piece of land, stood a densely packed area filled with captured merfolk soldiers. There were male and female soldiers. The female merfolk, aside from having two well-proportioned blue breasts and perhaps slightly thinner eyebrows, were otherwise identical in height, build, and physique.

Furthermore, the villagers of Gulu Island were completely spared from this attack. Dark adhered to the "unity principle" (ancient law) of not harming the innocent in war. He simply wanted to expand his "military supplies" by increasing the number of "vassal states" without limit. (Each month, towns with fewer than 200 people need to pay a minimum tax of 30 gold coins, city-states with more than 500-800 people need to pay 50-100 gold coins, and so on.)

"Dispose of them according to the old rules!" Dark coldly ordered, without even glancing at the prisoner. In his dark and ruthless value system, "Those who fail should be punished accordingly..."

"Yes, Lord Dark!" Ludal knew in his heart that this was definitely an attempt to persuade them to surrender. Because no matter what, the merfolk were still quite formidable (high stamina, high health, high initial stats), and they were enemies of the Zerg (due to historical reasons). Therefore, this was advantageous to Dark's legion. There might be naval battles in the future, making the expansion of the "navy" a necessity. (Ludal's military talent was second only to Dark. But if Ludal could eventually level up to the same level as Dark, Ludal's "military" abilities would undoubtedly reach new heights.)

"The defeated fishmen:"

On behalf of our great Lord Ludal, I hereby issue this "Statement of Surrender." First, you have the right to choose freedom, and we will re-examine your towns! Gulu Island is beautiful and picturesque, a peaceful and prosperous home. We have repeatedly urged you to surrender, but you, especially your Mazur (deceased, a level 70 murloc, 13,000 years old), simply wouldn't listen. Then don't resent us. We apologize for invading you to carry out our own mission. However! Please remember one thing. According to the laws of your world, we have the right to accept your surrender. Even if you don't consider yourselves, consider your families… (Ludal's "Letter of Surrender")

Just like the previous operation at "Mekames City," Ludar quickly drafted a "surrender document." After Dark signed and authorized it, he read it aloud. The "surrender document" was incredibly long, a full three pages of small print, written in both Common and Zerg language (ten pages after the Zerg translation). After announcing it, Ludar ordered: "Each captured murloc soldier in the water dungeon will receive a copy. Captured soldiers are not allowed to whisper or discuss the contents. They must choose their own 'fate'—'0' or '1'... 0 means surrender, 1 means resistance! Never surrender!; those who choose '0' will suffer the same fate as Dark's current multi-race forces—re-signing an agreement to join; they will be granted the rank of 'Corporal,' with the highest rank being 'Sergeant.' New recruits will not participate in the 'roll' until they are promoted; murloc prisoners who choose '0,' regardless of gender, will likely face a terrible fate..."
