Chapter 102 Ruthless Eliza!
Chapter 102 Ruthless Eliza (Part 1)!
[Players Wolf and Black Rose have become members of the Shadow Clan. Due to their participation in a legendary historical event, they have gained 500,000 x 2 experience points. According to the rules, you have gained 200,000 experience points...]
Bright grinned as he watched the experience points steadily increase in his account.
However, he was also very restrained and did not deliberately guide players to join the shadows. On the contrary, if possible, he would try his best to guide players to the side of the elves.
The reason is simple: the shadow is too powerful, and the elves' situation will become almost hopeless. Once the elf faction is gone, they will no longer be able to take advantage of the chaos.
Thirteen people have joined the Shadow now, gaining over a million experience points. Bright first raised the Corpse Whisperer's level to thirty-eight, reaching the threshold of the second stage. The remaining experience points were then allocated to the Fighter and Doctor classes.
Currently, the Fighter class is at level 25, and the Spirit Healer class is at level 20. All things considered, I can be considered to be at the extraordinary level of a mid-level noble in this world, right?
Bright thought this way, and with the Seed of Shadow in hand, if the Elven race fell apart, he could become a member of the Shadow faction at any time—that was his insurance!
Holding a full hand of cards, Brett felt a sense of security for the first time.
From being born into this world with no hope for the future, to being forced to join the conflicts of Holy Stone City, I have finally gained some resources, but I am still bound by them.
His viscount mark came from the Igor family, which meant that his extraordinary profession was also within the mark. The Igor family could not easily take away his noble rights, but it was not impossible. This was the control of the nobility. Even if he became a high-level extraordinary being, his profession might become invalid because the mark was taken back. This was an unavoidable law. At least under the divine laws of human nobles, he could not turn the tables!
In other words, he must first avoid being targeted by some nobles of the Igor family, and he must not be threatened by Duke Os. If he wants to avoid being easily manipulated, he must try to become a high-ranking member of Mirandil. Only in this way can he avoid having his seal of power easily removed.
As for how to do it, Brett hasn't figured it out yet; he can only take it one step at a time.
He opened the intelligence notebook.
There have been new updates regarding comparisons between players.
Intelligence 1: There are 71 players in the Elf faction and 13 players in the Shadow faction. Among them, more than 50 Elf players are Rangers, including six Warlock Apprentices, five Assassins, five Warriors, two Swordsmen, and one Blacksmith.
A lawyer, a scholar, and in the Shadow Faction, there are seven assassins, a shadow dancer, a shadow sorcerer, a shadow merchant, a shadow knight, and two shadow assassins!
Intelligence 2: Elder Chris of the Heart of the Forest has realized that he is being monitored and has begun to dismantle the Heart of the Forest's followers in batches. There are a total of nine people in the Heart of the Forest who control information about the Elf Robes. Elder Chris knows about three of them, and the rest are hidden among them.
Intelligence 3: Because there is no one suitable for the Shadow Seed in her own samurai team, Lady Eliza plans to recruit samurai from outside, but that would require eliminating the existing samurai quota, which does not conform to her initial promise. She needs a plan to free up a large number of her own quota.
Intelligence 4: Shadow merchants in the Shadow faction can trade magical items from the Shadow Realm with mortals, which can greatly win over or corrupt human nobles.
Intelligence 5: The Shadow Messenger, possessing a legendary item, has ventured into the forest, ready to activate the Shadow Realm and locate the World Tree!
These reports are a mixed bag, some good and some bad.
As usual, Bright looked at the latest intelligence, starting with a comparison of the players. Although the conflict had not yet begun, he could roughly analyze the advantages and disadvantages by looking at the number of people and professions on both sides.
Firstly, regarding direct combat strength, Bright witnessed the actual battle at the city gate. The result was that the player guild with many extraordinary high-level players was completely defeated and unable to recover. The only shadow warlock of the shadow faction, [Tangyuan], is still there guarding the corpse.
Considering that most of the Elf faction players are ordinary players around level 10, although they have an absolute numerical advantage, Bright felt that if they fought head-on, the Elf faction players would have no chance of winning!
Therefore, it seems that Intelligence 2 should be a positive development.
As they disperse, the Elf faction players will also spread out to protect them, while the Shadow faction players can only pursue them in different directions. With the number of players dispersed, there is actually a sliver of hope that someone will be lucky enough to escape. Even if only one person escapes, finding those Elf spores will give them a chance to complete the mission.
Intelligence 3 is clearly bad news. Eliza is getting restless. The Seed of Shadows needs a suitable candidate, and not everyone can be suitable. According to intelligence, none of her hundreds of warriors can adapt. She needs to make room, but nobles cannot easily abandon their warriors. Moreover, in order to gain more opportunities for trial and error, she will definitely make room for many positions.
This means that dismissing the samurai in the traditional way is not feasible for her. Dismissing dozens or even hundreds of samurai at once would be very disadvantageous for her at present. After all, she has just gained control of Holy Stone City, which is the most unstable time for her power. If she breaks her promise to the samurai at this time and dismisses a large number of samurai, it may cause unrest among the people.
If we need to use a special method... then the only option is assassination...
But Bright was curious about what she would do. After all, many samurai had children, and according to the rules, children could inherit the samurai profession. Even if you found a way to kill these samurai, you couldn't deprive these children of their inheritance rights. So... what would she do?
Bright had always known that Eliza was a very ruthless woman, so when it mattered, she wouldn't show mercy to anyone. He just hoped she wouldn't go too far.
Then there's intelligence 4: The existence of the Shadow Merchant is indeed a bit unexpected. If I'm not mistaken, it should be that female player named Black Rose. This is a bit troublesome. Since the merchant can exchange items from the Shadow Kingdom, his main task must be to infiltrate the noble circle, because only nobles can afford those mysterious items.
Moreover, only nobles can persuade those beings in the Shadow Kingdom to offer things of value.
So here's the question: can this merchant trade high-level Shadowlands items without limit, or are there restrictions?
If she is unrestricted, I would have to find a way to get rid of her, because she is too much of a threat. If she is restricted, then she is still under my control. I could even use her to infiltrate the Igor family and try to win over some important figures in the Igor family or even Milandil.
After all, he and the Igor family are currently in the same boat, so it is necessary to find a way to win over the support of the other members of the Igor family. Moreover, he also needs to pass on some valuable things to Duke Os from time to time. The elf seeds are definitely not an option, so the items provided by the merchants of these forces are the best choice.
Hmm, I need to find an opportunity to test that player called Black Rose.
Intelligence 5: The Shadow Messenger, the guy who possesses a legendary item and can summon shadows at any time, is the biggest threat right now. He is the one most likely to break the balance and wipe out the last bit of the elves' bloodline. We need to find a way to find him. Of course, I don't plan to join a team, but I don't want the Shadow to become the only one who can dominate.
It seems that players from both sides can temporarily stop logging in and go to the forest to take control of the situation.
Thinking of this, Bright didn't delay. He packed his things and sent the female knight Elsie to inform Wang Gou Dan. Bright now had some confidence in Wang Gou Dan. He believed that the girl knew which side to stand on.
"Boss..." Wang Gou Dan walked over to Eliza with a swagger: "Mr. Bright wants me to go over there."
Without turning her head, Eliza, still applying her makeup, said, "Give my regards to Mr. Bright."
"Okay, boss, is there anything else you need to tell me?" Wang Gou Dan asked with a smile.
"No......
'
"Oh," Wang Gou Dan said, then walked away without a care in the world, making Eliza grit her teeth in disbelief.
That bastard actually left. Don't you know who your knight is?
However, she had no choice. There were only three knights available. She had thought there would be no rift between her and Bright, so she used his men without hesitation. But now the situation was completely different.
She didn't trust anyone; even Peter, who admired her, would betray her. Naturally, she wouldn't trust Wang Gou Dan, who was clearly closer to Bright.
The Seeds of Shadow need to be given to more useful people, and I urgently need a group of my own forces.
The key question is, how should we deal with those samurai?
Eliza tapped the table. Most of her warriors were from the Rose Avenue community. They were the first to support her, which allowed her to secure her position as acting city lord. However, the viscount quota was full, and she needed to clear some slots if she wanted to acquire more warriors.
And their offspring must also be disposed of.
"Madam, what brings you here?" The new butler was recommended by Mirandil, and both Eliza and Bright knew that he was being monitored by Mirandil.
"Today is the day we'll let Sir Peter through; I want to see him one last time."
"Madam, to whom do you intend to entrust the task of escorting Knight Peter out of the city?"
"Let Elsie go," Eliza said calmly. "I trust her to handle things."
Upon hearing this, the butler bowed and withdrew, but a cold glint flashed in Eliza's eyes.
Elsie now deeply respects Bright, and also herself; she's practically one of their own. But unfortunately...
Not all of them are one of our own people....
