Dark Eldar

Gludin Castle, coordinates 313579, is an ancient building that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Its history can be indirectly traced back to ancient times. It may have been a beginner village before it was upgraded and divided into a subordinate city of Kevin Garnier, a level 2 map.

Ludar, the former leader of the rebels and now the lieutenant of the Dark Legion, flew over personally, determined to conquer this five-star defensive castle as quickly as possible. On the way, he considered many things and concluded that there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Open the city gates! Open the city gates!" Ludar had no followers with him. He was already level 5000, and he believed that in Kevin Garnier, it would be extremely difficult for most heroes to defeat him.

The soldiers on duty on the city wall were mostly level 100+ student soldiers, mostly hunters (LR archers). Their faces were still green, and they were a little excited because they hadn't seen the "Provocateur" in a long time. Usually, they only saw monsters below level 500 or "proud" heroes, and rarely saw the "Skull" BOSS.

Ludar had been rushing on his way and had already arrived, so he wasn't in a hurry and planned to treat them with courtesy. He didn't engage in any hierarchical suppression; that was Dak's system, which Ludar had long since scorned.

LR student soldiers immediately reported to the city lord that a rare elite barbarian king (level 3979) had appeared.

"Reporting to the Barbarian King! There's an uninvited guest outside, a Skull-level being!" reported the hunter student soldier.

"How many troops?" the barbarian king asked, getting straight to the point. He rarely spoke nonsense.

"One person, one mount!"

Once a hero reaches a high level, the bonuses from pets and mounts must be taken into account; this is common sense. Especially in dungeons, it's not uncommon for the player to fall, but their pet or mount can still defeat the intruding team. Therefore, it's essential to inform the mount.

The Barbarian King hadn't seen a high-level hero in a long time, so he became interested and quickly walked up the city wall.

His footsteps are very loud, and since he's a berserker, he doesn't possess magical abilities like "Flash" or "Teleport" (instant-cast skills).

"......"

When the Barbarian King saw his former boss, his first reaction was, "Is that really possible?"

Overwhelmed with excitement, he jumped off the city wall to greet him.

"Boom—!" A loud noise!

The Barbarian King lost half his health bar instantly.

"Wow! Why did you come in person?" The barbarian king sniffed the familiar scent. After confirming it, he led his horse to welcome Ludar into the city.

Due to his busy schedule, Ludar was unable to speak too much in public or give a speech. He simply smiled, nodded, exchanged pleasantries, and spoke about less important matters.

The other student soldiers in the city were completely dumbfounded.

The Barbarian King's leap alone was enough to shock them! Keep in mind, the Barbarian King was a "disabled person."

He has such amazing skills. He smashed a huge crater in the ground.

The astute "student soldiers," armed with farm tools, quickly left the city to fill in the pit and tidy up. Although the barbarian king was rough around the edges, in terms of management, he largely inherited Ludal's strengths, making it clear to his subordinates what they should and shouldn't do.

"My lord, let's talk in the council chamber. Please come in. Bring drinks!" The barbarian king was exceptionally polite, instructing the NPC. He knew how to be grateful. If it weren't for Lord Ludal, the alluring woman wouldn't have married him. When Ludal entered the city, the alluring woman also saw him and bowed.

Because of her pregnancy, it was inconvenient for her to participate in politics, and Ludar expressed his understanding. He nodded in acknowledgment from afar. As for the other novice professional heroes, as well as a large number of werewolf student soldiers, elite monsters, and oni, they were all very excited to have the opportunity to see Ludar up close. They knew that there would be higher-level maps and larger battlefields later on, which they probably would never be able to visit in their lifetime...

On the one hand, they are reluctant to invest; the items in the store—experience orbs, good equipment, and good props—are beyond their reach. On the other hand, their time is limited; they often consider themselves "graduated" after reaching level 500 at most. Of course, their so-called graduation is limited to their own small circle.

"Lord Ludal, Lady Gludin, the alluring woman, is pregnant and unable to attend!"

In the council chamber, the rare elite barbarian king reported according to proper etiquette. According to the hierarchical chart (shift), Gludin was aligned with the Dark Legion. However, the Dark Legion's conquests were too rapid; they no longer had time to manage smaller city-states. They were constantly waging war, and after conquering a city, they would only appoint a trusted confidant as its lord. They didn't have many capable or trustworthy people. Some were simply recommended by Rudal based on a good first impression. Rudal's judgment of character was quite accurate. There was never a single instance of rebellion.

"Dark, we're old friends, please rise. We don't need to go through all this." Ludal also knelt on one knee and embraced the barbarian king.

The barbarian king was so happy that he shed tears.

"Barbarian King, here's a tissue." Ludal smiled and handed it to him.

"Your castle's defenses are fairly good. There were spies following us on the road, but they couldn't get in," Ludar said, sitting down to analyze the situation.

"Yes, Lord Ludal. I have done as you commanded, and have made Gludin Castle the most formidable castle in Kevingani!" The Barbarian King saw Ludal's gesture and slowly sat down. The stool was made of stone, specifically granite.

The barbarian king has made great progress; he has become a leader and is well-versed in the ways of officialdom and human relationships.

"Alright, let's talk about something serious..." Ludar whispered to the Barbarian King about the secret contents of the "portal".

As he spoke, Ludar also turned the detection magic range to its maximum, as he needed to detect whether there were any followers or mysterious experts.
