After the matter of the fortress was settled, Lu Li hurried off to find Major Solomon.
The potions they stole from the Demilich were still with Lu Li, and Lu Li couldn't possibly take them for himself. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but the potions were clearly marked as quest items. Even if Lu Li took them, they wouldn't be of any use to him.
"Damn you, Elf. You're too slow." Solomon's handsome eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was exasperated.
"Better late than never," Lu Li said nonchalantly.
He took out the boxes one by one and placed them in front of Solomon. The noble officer's face immediately brightened up.
"Thank God. I thought something had happened to you. How did you manage to escape that day? I was chased by a few Death Knights. If I wasn't a Thief, I wouldn't have been able to make it back alive," said Solomon. He was glad that he was a Scout. This profession, which was looked down upon by the young nobles, had saved his life.
He couldn't defeat any of the Death Knights, but he was able to escape from a few of them.
"At least I'm standing here," Lu Li reminded him. "I think we should go and hand in the quest now. The military must be eager to see these potions."
"Uh, I can go alone." Solomon's expression changed slightly.
He didn't want to share this glory with Lu Li. The reward of obtaining these potion boxes was better than sharing it with two people. Even if he couldn't get a promotion, at least he could get rid of this dangerous job of being a scout.
"You can't do this alone. If no one tells you, you'll be deserting your post if you go alone," Lu Li said slowly.
"You're threatening me!" Solomon was furious.
"Don't joke around. Why would I threaten you, sir? We're partners," Lu Li said politely.
"Don't be too greedy. I've already given you what you deserve. Greed will cost you your life," Solomon said angrily. Although he was grateful for Lu Li's contribution, he wasn't wrong. He didn't owe Lu Li anything.
"Perhaps, but I really want to go with you to see the commander." Lu Li didn't care what Solomon said.
In the end, Solomon brought Lu Li to see the commander.
General Halford Rebane was the nominal commander-in-chief of the allied forces. The reason he said it was nominal was because his command only covered the Seventh Legion. Perhaps he could include other human soldiers as well. Whether it was the proud dwarves or the unruly soldiers of the allied forces, they probably wouldn't listen to him.
Lu Li followed Solomon into the camp and met the commander of the 7th Legion.
His current position was the captain of the Seventh Regiment's reconnaissance squad. In a sense, Halford Rebane was his highest officer.
The highest-ranking officer reluctantly met with Solomon and Lu Li. It wasn't that he was arrogant, but that he was simply too busy to waste time meeting with lower-ranking officers. The rank of a major was already low, and Solomon had only been promoted because of his noble status and the fact that he had graduated from a military academy.
As for Lu Li, there was no need to mention him. He was no different from a soldier standing guard.
"Hey, why are you here?" A deep voice rang out.
Lu Li, who was saluting with Solomon, noticed that there was another person in the tent. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar figure.
Old Fordring!
"Your Excellency!" Lu Li exclaimed in surprise. He wasn't faking it. He was surprised to see old Fordring, especially in a place like this.
He still remembered the first time he saw the old man. A blunt axe, a pile of wood, and an old knight chopping firewood.
Lu Li triggered the Love and Family quest that could only be triggered by a Paladin. He still remembered old Fordring's words: True glory cannot be defined by race or class, but by people's actions and principles!
Unfortunately, Lu Li couldn't save his son, and young Fordring died.
After the death of his son, Tyran, Tirion Fordring decided to rebuild the Knights of the Silver Hand. He began to gather the scattered former members of the Silver Hand. Lu Li didn't expect to see him here.
"We meet again, my friend. You haven't answered my question. Why are you here?" old Fordring said with a smile.
He looked older than when Lu Li first met him, but he was in good spirits.
"He's now the scout squad leader of the 7th Legion, Your Excellency," Solomon answered on behalf of Lu Li respectfully.
"Yes, I'm here to report," Lu Li replied.
"So you know the Highlord. That makes things easier. I can always trust his friends." General Rebane looked at Lu Li and said, "I heard that you have something to report to me. You can speak now."
"I … accidentally discovered one of the Doomsday Army's transportation routes. They're transporting some harmful potions," Solomon thought for a while and decided to take all the credit for this discovery. In fact, he was the one who discovered this transportation route.
Lu Li looked on coldly and didn't react.
"… I found Second Lieutenant Lu Li. We found some adventurers, and with their help, we launched a surprise attack on the Undead escorting them yesterday afternoon." Solomon straightened his back. "We won, Your Excellency."
"Oh, who are they escorting?" Rebane asked.
"A group of Undead units, ghouls, patchwork monsters, and the like. The leader was a Demilich, Your Excellency!" Solomon couldn't hide his pride.
"A Demilich." Rebane was a little more excited. If it was a Demilich who escorted them, it proved that the potions were valuable.
"I found a lot of potions related to the plague," Solomon said proudly.
"What?" Rebane stood up abruptly. He couldn't keep his cool anymore because of the word "plague."
"There are a few potions that can be used to spread the plague. Your Excellency, I've brought them with me. They're all outside. Any potion master would be able to identify them. I think we can start with these potions and create some weapons that are especially effective against the undead," Solomon said.
"Aren't we supposed to stop the spread of the plague?" Lu Li couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, it is necessary," Halford Rebane and Solomon said in unison as they looked at each other.
