Commander Stain was frightened at the sudden predicant he was in.
Listrel was clearly itching to fight this Lea that he even was pushing him to prove Lea's treason.
"I do not know of the nations in the Dark Sea, Lord Princess of the Dark. I fear that my words will be aningless and useless. After all, who can confirm what nation that Eldrich serves?" Stain reasoned out.
"Commander Stain. Have so backbone!" Listrel chastised.
"No need to be subtle. Princess Lea, this Commander assus that you will deny if the kingdom he nas is, in fact, the kingdom where this Eldirch allied himself with! After all, even if he nas the kingdom that you traveled with, you could deny it! Even I do not know what kingdom you are!"
"We do, your highness." Tathar bowed.
"Oh! Then it's easier if you know. Lea... I'll be frank. The most suspicious kingdom is the kingdom that you are with. After all, they did give a slot of their teleportation to send him here. And your allies are clearly not from the Lowlands. This Commander claims that they have evidence of an alliance with orcs. And since the Eldrich is with this kingdom, it's possible that the kingdom you are with instigated this plot. If the Commander can tell the na of that kingdom in two days, and it matches with the kingdom that you are with, then it's true." Listrel smiled.
"But of course, if he is lying and rely said that report hoping that I would lend aid to the human kingdom, then I shall let you kill him and eat up his soul."
Commander Stain was tearing up in frustration.
"Oh? Well...Your arrangent does make sense. I have not sensed that you secretly communicated with each other as to the na of this kingdom that I am with." Lea smiled.
She turned over to her companions, and they all nodded. Confident that it was nearly impossible for this human to give the right na. Even their spies that they sent here were cursed that they could not say the na of the kingdom they served. And even if the humans managed to fish out the nas of the Necromancers or of the vampire clans, it was still impossible to know which kingdom the necromancers and the vampires served.
"Fine. I accept your premise. The Eldrich must have made a deal with the sa kingdom that sent these powerful escorts. I still retain that I have no alliance with him or any knowledge about it. But If Commander can na this kingdom, out of all the hundreds of kingdoms in the Dark Sea, then I will accept that as proof that the dead Eldrich collaborated with the orc kingdoms. I'm sure soone as knowledgeable as you know of this kingdom?" Lea mocked.
"Good! If my retainers hear the right answer, you'll know what they do. Commander Stain, prepare your answer." Listrel turned to the Commander.
"I have my answer now." Stain sighed.
He has already read the reports and collaborated with the many scholars and historians in their kingdom. The two days they will spend will only give off the sa answer as to the kingdom he now knew. His only hope was to na the one who inford him of the na.
"Paladin Champion Drake Vestitude inford that the kingdom that the orcs and vampires allied with is... the Dark Shine Kingdom." Commander Stain answered as he prepared for his death.
"Crap." Lea's expression turned ugly.
SLASH!
FWIP!
BOOM!
A sword slash. A charged arrow and a fireball struck and killed the group of Champions that accompanied Lea.
"AHHH!"
The Soul f the Skeleton fled with great speed as his animated body was obliterated. But another arrow flew and slew the soul.
rick had his sword drawn. Against his sword, the Champion Necromancer stood no chance.
Tathar shot a charged arrow and sohow incinerated every bone of the Skeleton.
The Vampire was attacked with a powerful holy fireball that burned him to nothingness even before the flaming ball struck him. The attacker was the last retainer that served Princess Listrel.
"That was surprising! Even I didn't expect him to know the exact na of the kingdom you are with." Listrel chuckled.
"All who are found to be allies of the Eldrich can be imdiately slain. The Dark Shine Kingdom will be reported to be in alliance. And since that we have evidence beyond reasonable doubt that the orcs have allied with the Eldrich, I decree that the Midlands will aid the Lowland Human Kingdoms for war against the orcs. Dwarven exiles. If you support the human kingdoms, I will gift you a legacy Forge from the Midlands. I declare war against the orc kingdoms in Airom and will support the human Kingdoms to massacre them!" Listrel promised.
The orcs nearby were trembling in fear at the declaration.
Lea still wore an ugly expression. The Dark Sea was too distant, and the Dark Shine Kingdom was so far off that all the humans and creatures in the Lowlands would only hear the na of these kingdoms but would have no knowledge of what these kingdoms were! After all, only the dark dependents would cooperate and trade with those in the Dark Sea!
She wagered that out of all the nas. The humans would bla a kingdom that was close to their shores. But she didn't expect the Commander to single out the Dark Shine Kingdom.
"How did they know?! Are the Dark Shine Kingdom so incompetent?!" Lea gnashed her teeth. She even checked with the Dark Shine Kingdom.
But there was another issue that made her loathe the Dark Shine Kingdom!
"Why did those idiots not tell they were manipulating the orcs?!" She raged. The fact that humans singled out their kingdom in a plot with orcs convinced her that the Dark Shine Kingdom hid the fact that they were allied with the orcs!
She had questioned and found out about the vampires that were sent to the Lowlands. She had asked every detail and even knew of how the vampire of the Bloodblade clan was killed. But the Dark Shine Kingdom never ntioned an Orc Alliance.
Lea faced Listrel, who she knew would attack her.
"Dark Princess Lea. You said that this Eldrich which I killed had dealings with the kingdom that escorted you. Your words condemned him and proved the reality of this plot. You have allowed the Eldirch to make these alliances that you know off. And with that, I thought I would just level the playing field and give the humans so support." Listrel smiled.
"Hmp! What compensation must I pay to resolve this?" Lea said nothing and turned around to activate the teleportation pad.
"Let's see... You journeyed alongside an Eldirch who was working with the Dark Shine and had been sending vampires in the Lowlands to entice the orcs to war.... While you are allowed to make deals with the Eldrich, it's clear you know that that Eldirch made plans to manipulate the orc kingdoms. That's breaching the lesser rules set." Listrel readied her blade.
"How about this quarter soul you brought before ?" Listrel slashed out.
