This was a sad story. In fact, almost every forgotten person would always have such a similar heart-wrenching experience. Parting with death was one of the most painful things in this world, and undead creatures, this kind of complicated situation where death wasn't necessarily the end, made a simple parting with death even more complicated. Almost every story related to the undead was far more touching than the joys and sorrows of living people. For example, the Little Lolita of Darrowshire, or the unfinished love between humans and ghosts, or the sad father Zacken and his daughter, or High Official Ximen and … this didn't count.
I didn't know why, but as soon as I mentioned the loyal and undying love story, I would think of High Official Ximen's majestic and heroic bearing. This was truly a very strange matter.
There were too many unfortunate things in this world. Even though we claimed to be the saviors of the world, saviors also needed official vacations and private lives. It was impossible for us to save every single unfortunate person. Even those angels with halos on their heads didn't have the ability to do so. For example, Alaya was a Lord who kept himself trapped in all kinds of trouble and waited for others to save him.
But then again, it was still acceptable to ignore those we didn't meet or those we didn't have the ability to save. But if we met and had the ability to help them, it would be a little unreasonable to ignore them. This wasn't a problem of being a good person, but a problem of conscience and nature. It was just like how dozens of men stood by the side and watched a bus driver fight a criminal. I hope that all the bystanders in the world who didn't have anything to do with them will be the one being watched the next time.
I always thought that roaring at injustice, turning around and walking away after roaring was a rather cowardly thing to do. But now, I sadly realized that we didn't even have the guts to roar at all. We might as well be cowardly.
Alright, I digressed.
Actually, what I wanted to say was that since I now had the ability to improve the situation of the Forsaken a little, if I didn't do anything out of the mentality of "they're not related to me, so why should I meddle in other people's business", I really wouldn't be able to get through it. Through these two days of interaction, I more or less had a good impression of these Undead creatures. If I could help them, it would be good. Not to mention, there was also my relationship with An Weina …
Listen, this has nothing to do with increasing Xi's affection towards me!!!
They all say that a good leader should be the type that doesn't do anything, but tells his subordinates what to do. I felt that I was a good leader, because the first thing I did was inform Sylves, who was far away in Theramore, of my plan to "send warmth to Undercity", leaving the responsible commander to worry about it. Then, Anveena and I continued to casually wander around Undercity, freeloading off food and drinks.
Three days quickly passed. Nothing unexpected happened. Even though the Forgotten Ones had a rather democratic voting system, Cirvanas' wishes still largely represented the wishes of everyone in the Undead Country. And so, the Forgotten Ones boarded our warship without a hitch.
Actually, I almost said pirate ship.
On the same night that Cirvanas told me this news, I contacted the various teams in charge of poaching the Forsaken Ones in the capital of the Undead Country, intending to exchange information and show off how fast we were progressing.
"A very wise choice," Sandora commented on the Forsaken Ones' decision. "They only chose the option that was most beneficial to them. Actually, according to your description, the Forsaken Ones' current situation is extremely terrible. I'm afraid that they have reached the point where they don't care about losing anything anymore. Finding an ally is definitely a godsend for them. However, Ah Jun, you still have to be careful. I'm afraid that many of the Undead have been blinded by hatred. Other than seeking revenge on the living, they probably don't care about anything else. The remaining half are probably only joining the Salvation Army to obtain greater benefits and achieve their own goals. We can still fight for the latter, but as for the former … it's best to get rid of them as soon as possible."
"Of course," I nodded. "Actually, I don't even need to do anything. Cirvanas has already begun to eliminate such unstable factors in advance. It seems that she has really made up her mind, or perhaps she was forced by the situation to put all her hopes on us. The Lich King in this world is a little useless, but the Scarlet Crusade is much more powerful. Speaking of which, how's the progress on your side? Xi Wei, you have Jaina's foundation on your side. You go first. "
"My side is progressing smoothly," Xi Wei replied meticulously. "Jaina and Saar's efforts are very effective. Even though the Beastmen and the humans have a deep grudge against each other, the Beastmen should be fine under the revelation of the 'Divine Miracle'."
"Jingle's side is also progressing smoothly!" A soft voice suddenly cut into the spiritual connection. From this voice, I could almost see the little thing flapping her wings and crying out in joy in mid-air. Jingle's voice was always so picturesque.
"You've already settled the Night Elves?" I had a faint smile on my face. No matter how troublesome the situation was, as long as this perpetually optimistic little thing was around, we would always be able to unconsciously relax. From this point, it could be seen that in an outstanding adventurer team, a carefree and happy person was always indispensable.
We were so outstanding that it made people's hair stand on end. That was because at least half of us were carefree.
"When Jingle and I set out, of course we would succeed." Needless to say, this was Miss Lin. "As for you, it seems that I have really underestimated you. I thought that you would definitely be idling around in Gloom City for half a year before waiting for us to rescue you. I didn't expect you to settle it so quickly."
Alright, Lin Xue's description of "idling around" was surprisingly true.
"It's my turn. It's my turn." Shallow Shallow's voice suddenly cut in forcefully with a series of suspicious bubbling sounds. "Ah Jun, guess what I found at the bottom of the sea? Pearls! Corals! Luminous pearls the size of a fist! "
… I seriously suspected that this lass might have forgotten what she was doing.
"Shallow Shallow, you couldn't have been fishing at the bottom of the sea for the past two days, right?"
"No, I went to Azshara's palace on the way …"
I was speechless.
"I'm just joking." Shallow Shallow suddenly giggled. "Our family is rich now. I wouldn't be interested in those things."
I had reservations about this. Back then, I had even discussed with this little brat that we could fill the entire residential area with Faith-Grade Upper Decks and rent them out at a low price. It was difficult to imagine just how generous ordinary people like us, who were all commoners to the bone, would be.
No matter what, Shallow Shallow's situation seemed to be alright. Although the Nagas had been isolated from the world for many years and had become a little claustrophobic (This medical term that I came up with was despised by Miss Lin), but after Shallow Shallow gave them the "return to land" and "remove the curse", these two huge flatbreads, the Nagas obviously leaned towards us.
After that, I found out that Qian Qian didn't just give those fish tails two pieces of flatbread. Gemini secretly told me that many Nagas adopted a non-violent and uncooperative attitude. In the end, Qian Qian, in a fit of rage, turned nearly ten thousand Nagas, who were said to be the strongest Royal Guards of the Naga Tribe, into small fry in front of everyone. This was the main reason why the Naga Tribe leaned towards the great Salvation Army.
As for the part that Big Sis and Alaya were in charge of, they seemed to have it much easier than all of us. Radiant Angels, God's Battleship, and Big Sis even came up with the idea of using holographic projection to summon a large-scale descent of the Gods. With so many heavy bombs falling on the heads of the human rulers who followed the Holy Light, there was no suspense at all. Even the matter of forming an alliance with the Undead, which might have been the biggest obstacle, was easily brushed aside. Of course, when it came to the Undead, there would definitely be voices of opposition. However, after Alaya used the most powerful sophistry in history that I had used to trick Anthony back then, all voices of opposition were considered to be crimes against humanity …
In the end, all of us quieted down, leaving the floor for Sandora and Pandora, who had yet to report on the situation. I was rather curious as to just how big of a surprise these two sisters, who could be said to be the most ferocious of all of us, would bring me. One of them was a Soul Reaper who could instantly enslave all the living beings in an entire city. Not only that, after transforming, this Soul Reaper would also gain the frightening close-combat ability of boxing against the creatures of the Chaos Abyss. The other one was a super loli who could blast through the Himalayas with a single shout. Not only that, this loli also possessed a violent and powerful attribute that was the complete opposite of her sweet appearance. With these two mobile Imperial Army arsenals together, no matter what kind of sparks were created from their collisions, it was likely that the dragons would wish they were dead.
"The dragons aren't bad." Sandora's opening sentence was a seemingly complimentary evaluation. According to the theory of giving a carrot after a stick, since Sandora had given such a carrot, there was no doubt that what would follow would be an inhumane mace. "They're just a little stubborn and rather arrogant. They sincerely want to protect this world, but their attitude of 'I'm the savior of the world and the mortals should obediently wait for us to save them' dissatisfied the little girl and me. Thus, we used a blitzkrieg to capture all the important figures of the dragon race. Right now, Pandora will pick one of them every six hours to violently beat them up. I reckon that very soon, they will know whose fists are bigger."
I wiped away the cold sweat on my forehead. "You guys better be careful. The strength of the dragon race isn't to be underestimated. If they really go all out, you'll be out of luck."
"Hah, it's fine, it's fine." Sandora said carefreely. "If all of the dragon race were to find trouble with us, I'm afraid that the little girl and I would really have to run away. However, I've already used my spiritual interference to cut off the communication between those unlucky fellows. If they were to split up and deal with them separately, the little Pandora and I wouldn't care about the big lizard at all."
'I knew that this would be the result of having Pandora, the violent maniac, and Shadora, the helper of the evildoer, move out together …
