Dark Eldar

The rebel leader, Ludar, seems to have forgotten his original identity. The reason is that he has taken on Gludin's new role: "Town Steward".

Dark Lord, the messenger of darkness, had no interest in managing affairs and entrusted important matters to Rudar, believing that Rudar had an advantage in this area.

As expected, Ludar lived up to expectations; within a week, Gludin had resumed production. Farmers continued cultivating the land, and shopkeepers continued operating. The bulletin board was continuously updated (with official Gludin announcements of recruitment, bounty, and group formation information). Soldiers of various professions were roughly reorganized into squads based on their original team compositions to prevent physical altercations.

The Dark Knights were excluded from his command. They had their own strict training programs and schedules, essentially serving as Dark Knight's personal guard.

They paid some cheap copper coins to hire slaves, the unemployed, or volunteers in the city to repair the damaged walls of Grudin.

Everything became orderly.

"My lord! Everything is arranged. What should we do with the captured 'stubborn soldiers' below?" Ludar asked in the main hall of Gludin.

"Oh? There are still people you can't persuade? Why is their loyalty so high? That Hawk isn't much better, I don't think!" Dark asked from his throne. His voice was colder than before. Perhaps it was due to his inflated desires...

"..." Ludar lowered his head, not daring to reply. He didn't know whether he was praising himself or belittling himself.

"Let's go, let's go see Kago Bloodrage. Oh, I forgot to introduce you, Ludar! This strong orc lad is called Kago Bloodrage. He's our 'hero' this time. Heh! What rank should we give him? Sergeant Major!" Dark sneered. (Sergeant Major, high-ranking position)

"Hello, Kago Bloodrage," Ludar greeted him, looking directly at him. How could he not recognize him?

"This former elite underling of Gludin has actually 'volunteered' to come here?" Ludar thought to himself.

Kago Bloodrage was one of the minor leaders who surrendered to Gludin. His class is Berserker. He wields a "Serrated Battle Axe" (blue +2) and has a combat strength of approximately level 38. After this appointment, Kago is three levels below Ludal in rank. His main responsibility is overseeing Gludin's military training (to intimidate the existing army within the city).

Three underground levels of Grudin, in a dark and gloomy prison.

"Ah! You ungrateful bastards!" (Common language)

The tenacious human soldiers howled and cursed as they were whipped.

"Alright, alright. Stop hitting him." Dak waved his hand, signaling the jailer to leave first.

The water dungeon, along with the cells (instruments of torture) with sharp knives stuck in the bottom, held more than 50 stubborn soldiers, mostly humans, who refused to surrender.

"Kneel down! This is our new city lord! Lord Dark!" shouted the orc Kag'go Bloodrage. He seemed eager to prove himself.

Ludall observed secretly. He understood that Dac knew what he was doing.

"Bah! Shameless Kago! How did you become like this! Have you forgotten how the city lord, Lord Hawk, treated and rewarded you back then?" A human resembling a female assassin shouted from inside the water dungeon.

Seeing the remaining "stubborn soldiers," and witnessing the humans' tenacious resistance, Dark didn't say anything more. He seemed to have changed his mind and didn't want to waste any more words. ... (Note: [Dark side]; the nature of dark creatures)

The rebel leader, Ludar, never forgets the kindness shown to him by the "other world." At this crucial moment, he must lend humanity a hand! Even though this is a perilous "other world."

"Lord Dark? Killing them will affect your 'reputation' in Gludin City. You're only 80 points away from 'Revered' right now. If you kill these unarmed soldiers, all your previous efforts will be wasted..." Ludar said. (The Kevin Garnier reputation system is roughly the same as in the other world, with all nations, city-states, and races following the order: Neutral – Friendly – ​​Respected – Revered – Worshiped; conversely, it's Hatred – Hostile – Unfriendly, etc.)

After hearing this, Dak looked thoughtful.

"How about... handing them over to the useless elves? Aren't they always so arrogant? They consider themselves a naturally superior race. Let him..." Ludar suggested. His suggestion was quite feasible. The elves' racial talent of "psychic abilities" (listening to the thoughts of others), coupled with their long ears, were the hallmarks of "demigods." Perhaps they could change the "free will" of the stubborn human captives...

"Alright, Ludal, remember this! What I want is 'worship'! Don't mess it up! You know me best!" Dark said, and then left.

The rest was left to Ludar to handle.

Ludal ordered the barbarian king to inform the elf Irete. He specifically instructed the barbarian king, "You must speak softly."

The Barbarian King now has a new title! It's called "Guardian of Gludin" (blue, unique; +50 Strength, +50 Agility, +50 Intelligence, +150 Stamina), although the bonuses aren't that much. But the Barbarian King feels he understands things better than before.

He relayed a message to the elf prince Ilet—with utmost respect, completely devoid of his former "majesty."
