Who wasn't afraid of death?!
However, adventurers weren't afraid of death. At Level 60, they no longer lost EXP, and the equipment they dropped could be picked up by a team of Thieves on the battlefield.
The only thing that would be wasted would be potions and repair fees.
This kind of investment was completely negligible compared to the opportunity in front of them, so Lu Li gave a firm and fearless answer.
Life was a drama, and it all depended on acting. Perhaps it was this kind of determination that gave Major Solomon such confidence.
"Alright then. Tomorrow at dawn, prepare two hundred men to be on standby. Two hundred men should be able to be summoned, right?" Solomon gritted his teeth and made his decision. Obviously, what he was plotting was not an easy task. If he succeeded, he might be promoted to a higher position, but if he failed, the consequences would be dire.
As for why he had to wait until dawn, the reason was simple. The players' game time was almost up.
That day, Lu Li and the others completed three quests, or rather, three and a half. After all, they had also triggered a new storyline.
His expedition team, on the other hand, was a little dismal. The Red Dragon Prince had abused them for the whole day. The two commanders, Wander and Sky Moon, almost vomited blood. They finally understood what it was like to be a First Clear under Lu Li's command.
According to Lu Li, the next day's operation had nothing to do with them. They could use the weekend to continue working hard.
I really want to fight zombies!
The next day, Lu Li gathered a team of about five hundred people. Of course, they didn't have that many people themselves. In order not to affect the battle at Blackwing's Nest, some of them were borrowed from Drizzle Court.
So many people coming to Felstone Farm was simply asking for death. The Undead army in the Plaguelands wasn't blind.
This was also the reason why the Alliance had only sent a few small combat units into the Plaguelands. If they were small, they wouldn't be easily discovered. Even if they were discovered, the Cult of the Damned wouldn't pay much attention to them. Lu Li's team of five hundred people would probably be discovered soon after they were sent into the Plaguelands.
This time, Lu Li had brought a total of six people with him.
Apart from yesterday's original team, there was also Sesame Tangyuan.
"Where's your people?" Solomon looked tired, as if he hadn't slept well the whole night. When he saw that Lu Li only brought five people with him, his expression turned even uglier.
He had been looking forward to today's operation for an entire night. He had almost started to imagine the scene of him killing powerful enemies and making a name for himself. Those playboys from Storm City would probably no longer laugh at him for choosing the wrong profession to be a scout.
"Don't worry, they'll show up when they need to." Lu Li said helplessly, "Sir, do you think I'd joke around with my life?"
"Alright, you adventurers always have some strange tricks up your sleeves, but … if anything goes wrong, you adventurers will have to bear the responsibility, understand?" Solomon's hoarse voice rang out. He had temporarily accepted Lu Li's explanation.
"Can you tell us what you want us to do now?" Lu Li asked.
"Do you know Professor Putrid?" Solomon asked without much hope. In his eyes, adventurers were all vulgar existences. They probably hadn't studied much.
"No, no way," Lu Li really wanted to turn around and leave.
This scientist and Potion Master, whose research topic was [Kill All Creatures in Azeroth], was probably the most powerful Potion Master in the Scourge Army. His powerful scientific knowledge allowed him to create all kinds of strange potions. It could be said that all the poisons in the Scourge Army were developed by him. Although he didn't actually participate in the battle, his rich knowledge gave him a place in the Undead army.
Lu Li had once seen his name in a scroll of Azeroth's Potion Master Legends.
At that time, the author had a very sad tone. Although this professor's life was miserable, his research path was full of thorns, and his final actions were condemned by thousands of people, it still couldn't erase many of his genius ideas.
If Lu Li was asked to deal with this guy, Lu Li would think that this noble officer Solomon was an idiot.
The Lich King was very protective of Professor Putrid. Even an army might not be able to kill him.
"No, of course not. It's just that he has a new batch of potions that he developed. Our mission is to intercept this batch of potions. When the time comes, you can take some of the potions that are not against the rules," Solomon quickly added.
"This kind of information is very important. Why didn't you report it?" Lu Li was confused.
"The source of this information is a Cursing Disciple. We used some extreme methods to get this information. I can't guarantee that the percentage is accurate." Solomon was a little embarrassed. "According to this information, the location is a little remote, so we can't send too many troops. The last batch of potions will be shipped soon. Even if we inform them, they won't take any action. We can't count on those old fools who don't have the spirit of adventure."
"Alright, we'll believe the authenticity of this information. Now tell me where this batch of potions will be shipped to and who will be escorting it." Lu Li didn't doubt it at all. If this task was really easy, adventurers like them wouldn't even have a chance to do it.
"I don't know where they're going. There aren't many people escorting them, but they'll definitely pass by the bridge over the Sodoril River. I've sent people to check it out, and the time and number of people are almost the same." Solomon didn't have anything to hide.
"How many of your people are going?" Lu Li asked.
"Only me. They … only obey some of my orders, and I don't want too many people to know," Solomon said.
Damn, I was counting on your hundred people to move together, but they're not going.
But then again, it made sense. Although Solomon was the leader of this scouting unit, he didn't have absolute authority. If these people were to suffer heavy losses, his military career would come to an end.
"Let's sneak over first. This friend of mine isn't a thief, so he needs our protection …" There wasn't much time. After understanding the situation, Lu Li began to make arrangements. He hoped that there wouldn't be too many changes to this stupid quest. If the players were to die, they could just start all over again. If Solomon died, it would be hard to tell what the military's attitude would be like.
"Try this!" Solomon handed over two bottles of potion. They were actually Intermediate Stealth Potions, much better than the Lesser Stealth Potions that Lu Li and the others had to go through a lot of trouble to get.
It seemed that this guy had some family background. No wonder he was a noble.
Sesame Tangyuan gulped down a bottle of potion and had an hour of Stealth. With this, he wouldn't be a burden to everyone except for moving a little slower.
