Lu Li regretted not bringing more Thieves from the club.
However, this was just a thought. How could the System allow Ruling Sword to have so many Thieves join this mysterious faction?
If the number of rogues here today exceeded a certain number and exceeded Emma's authority as a liaison, the final reward might only be a piece of Legendary equipment. This was not a difficult quest, and most people would be happy to receive a piece of Legendary equipment as a reward.
After cleaning up the farm, Emma left on her own.
Before she left, she asked Lu Li about the situation in Undercity. It seemed like she was more concerned about her brother who was selling cockroaches in Undercity.
Could human Thieves sneak into Undercity?
Lu Li wasn't sure, but he didn't want Emma to take the risk. After all, NPCs were different from players. Players could revive infinitely, but NPCs only had one life.
After Felstone's quest was completed, Lu Li's quest scroll showed that he had completed the quest.
This quest rewarded quite a lot of Reputation. The hidden reward was that as Lu Li completed more quests, his Stormwind military rank would increase.
Lu Li was curious about what would happen after he became a general of Stormwind.
Of course, with his current speed of promotion, it was too difficult to become a general. Fortunately, the Reputation Points made up for it. This was indeed a quest issued by the military. The Reputation Points from this quest was equivalent to ten other people completing it.
Unfortunately, the difficulty was a little high.
Without Emma's help, it would have taken them a lot of time just to clean up Felstone's farm, not to mention the dangers that came along with it.
Not long after, a team of scouts was stationed here.
Lu Li met Major Solomon of the Allied Army Scout Team. He was also the leader of the Scout Team, but there was a difference in rank between him and Major Solomon.
Major Solomon didn't look very old. He had brown hair and was quite handsome. However, his face was smeared with a kind of plant juice. It was said that it helped him blend in with the environment. Many NPC soldiers liked to do this, but it wasn't clear whether it was useful or not.
"Did you guys clean up all this?" Solomon didn't trust Lu Li.
"We did a quest that involved an NPC. She helped us complete the quest," Lu Li told the truth.
Perhaps it was because of his magnanimous attitude that Solomon's expression softened. After asking around, he found out that the person who helped him was a survivor of the Felstone family. His last shred of doubt was completely dispelled.
Perhaps everyone in the continent had a reason to cooperate with Scourge here, but this definitely didn't include the Felstone family.
"This place will become a foothold for our army. These damned undead, our people are not like them who don't need to eat and drink," Solomon was a sunny and straightforward young man after he let down his guard, even though his profession leaned towards the dark side.
"Maybe. Are we going to fight our way to Stratholme?" Lu Li asked.
To the players, Stratholme was just an Instance Dungeon, but in the storyline, it was still under Scourge's control.
"Who knows? That's something only the higher-ups know. We just need to do our own thing," the scout captain said in a teaching tone.
"Understood." Lu Li knew he wouldn't be able to find out anything.
However, in his memory, this so-called expedition seemed to have given up halfway because they had to face new enemies — Ahn 'Qiraj and the Ancient God C' Thun. So this war seemed to have only achieved the goal of stopping the spread of the plague.
What Lu Li wanted to do was to gain some benefits from this war. His current identity was quite advantageous, as he could get in touch with the frontline officers of the allied forces.
"I really don't understand you people. The days of adventuring are so comfortable. Why do you still want to join the army?" Solomon laughed.
Lu Li didn't understand what he meant by that. His tone didn't sound very passionate. It sounded a little too realistic, and he seemed to be envious of the life of an adventurer.
Perhaps this was a noble officer who hadn't been out of his home much. So, Lu Li continued, "Yes, the days of adventuring are like birds flying in the sky, free and unfettered. But … when their homes are invaded by the plague, the birds become kites with broken strings. Do you understand how it feels?"
"Alright, we'll definitely be able to take care of this damned Scourge," Solomon said as he rubbed his nose.
"Thank you, sir," Lu Li said seriously, "My friends and I hope to contribute as much as we can to the army."
"Then, what kind of legendary adventures do you have?" Solomon asked curiously.
"Well, quite a lot. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a narrow escape," Lu Li continued, "I've met Medivh before, and I even learned a few tricks from him …"
As he spoke, he suddenly turned into a crow.
Solomon was so shocked that he instantly drew his dagger from his waist. His movements were very precise and precise. So, this young noble didn't become the leader of this scouting team entirely because of his connections.
"Don't misunderstand, we're on the same side," Lu Li returned to his original form. He didn't mind showing off his skills in front of an NPC.
This was a skill that no one could take away from him. Besides, it was taught by Medivh, so not many people would dare to take it away from him. The Supreme Ring was different. Lu Li usually wouldn't let anyone know that he had the Supreme Ring, especially NPCs. Their world was complicated.
"This … this … this is really surprising," Solomon's eyes sparkled as he watched.
"It's just a coincidence. Maybe the Guardian was in a good mood that day," Lu Li said humbly, "In fact, the most tragic one was the recent operation to hunt down Okenia. We sent out many people, but there were many casualties. In the end, we only managed to behead her."
"Could it be?" Solomon grabbed Lu Li's shoulder.
"Actually, that was just one of her doppelgangers. These fallen Black Dragons always have a way to resurrect," Lu Li said with a look of regret.
"You guys are really amazing." The young noble who had just graduated from the MI7's training program was full of admiration and yearning. He was even more impressed by Lu Li's nonchalant manner when talking about his great achievements. If it wasn't for the fact that the etiquette of nobles was already ingrained in his bones, he might have already made Lu Li his sworn brother.
"This time, we will fight to the death against the Scourge," Lu Li said confidently.
"You guys don't have just these few people, right?" Solomon suddenly realized something. Lu Li just said that he sent out many people to kill Onyxia.
"There are many more people, and they all listen to my orders," Lu Li finally let out a sigh of relief. He winked at Solomon a few times, and the guy finally accepted it.
"How's their combat power?" Solomon asked.
"They're about the same as us. We focus more on teamwork," Lu Li's words were pure bullsh * t. However, he wasn't just talking about teamwork. The reason why the players could conquer the major dungeons was not just because of individual strength, but also because of the cooperation of various classes.
"Many of them … are quite strong, it seems …" Solomon smacked his lips and asked, "Are you guys really not afraid of death?"
