Fenna's dashing and heroic figure, even in this world where women are not to be underestimated, is still a rare and beautiful sight. She truly possesses a more dashing and heroic charm than the seemingly weak Jaina and Calia. For Jiang Jie, who had seen too many delicate and frail female celebrities in his previous life, she has an irresistible attraction.
"You are abusing your power! Who gave you permission to trespass here? I am a baron of the Kingdom of Lordaeron! Commander of the security forces! I demand to see His Majesty the King, and I have you lowly commoners arrested! I have you hanged!" Baron Soroson roared madly.
"It's no use. This room is already sealed off by a magical barrier. Miss Jaina herself took action! Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will listen to you." Jiang Jie up to him, a cold smile playing on his lips. " Baron Soroson, you still remember me, don't you? Andorhal's dagger really hurt! If it weren't for Prince Arthas and Miss Jaina, I'd be a rotting corpse in the Andorhal River by now, and the latter would have been devoured by the savage fish of Lake Lordamere!"
"I don't understand what you're saying! Attacking a kingdom baron is a serious crime! Even Jaina has no right to treat me like this! I demand an audience with His Majesty the King! I demand the summoning of all the nobles of Lordaeron! I demand a public trial for you!" Soroson remained unmoved, his eyes filled with madness.
If he weren't insane, how could he possibly join the Cult of the Damned?
"Stubborn to the end! Looks like we need to change the subject." Jiang Jie leaned closer to Baron Soroson, a half-smile on his face. "Tell me, should I cut off Dudley's ears and feed them to the dogs first, or gouge out his eyes and feed them to the cat? Or should I break his legs first, then his arms, and finally use a knife to slice off pieces of his fat? Don't worry, I'm very skilled; I guarantee each piece will be as thin as paper! By the way, I'll ask Miss Fenna to use her Holy Light to heal him, ensuring your son doesn't die until he's nothing but bones and internal organs!"
"What!" Baron Soroson's eyes finally filled with terror, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, his mind finally breaking down. "You've captured Dudley?! Don't hurt him, he's my only son!!!"
Half an hour later, at Princess Calia's residence.
Looking at the stack of parchment found in a box in the secret room, and the crystal bottle filled with the Scourge Plague liquid, and after listening to Baron Soroson's testimony, Jiang Jie was alright, but Fenna's expression grew increasingly grim, and Princess Calia's expression became even more unpleasant.
"At least 50 nobles have joined the Cult of the Damned, and even among Cult of the Damned Paladin, there are members! Most importantly, Baron Rivendare has been corrupted, as has the entire Barov Family! There's also the Grand Widow Faerlina, North Abraham, the Archmage of the Noth Lordanlun Necromancers' Association, and Heigan Ravendre of Dalaran! And this is only what Baron Soroson knows; there's much more he doesn't even know!"
How could Princess Calia not be surprised and furious?
Baron Rivendare was a powerful High-Ranking Paladin and an extremely wealthy lord of Lordaeron, far richer than Baron Soroson. He had a good relationship with Kel'Thuzad, who had approached him several times. Out of consideration for their friendship, Kel'Thuzad had provided Kel'Thuzad with a considerable amount of gold as assistance, but he had never joined the Cult of the Damned.
But now, Baron Rivendare has been killed by the impatient Cult of the Damned and resurrected as Death Knight. He now resides in the northern Rivendare Territory, commanding a large number of Undead creatures, as well as skeletons and zombies that have crawled out of the graveyards!
However, his son, Oryx Rivendare, is currently a mid-ranking Paladin who has not yet been corrupted or killed, and is currently in Tyr's Hand in Eastweald.
Needless to say, the Barov Family played a crucial role in the establishment of the Barov Family of the Cult of the Damned. This family was nominally a member of the Kingdom of Alterac.
In reality, the Barov family's fiefdoms spanned the two kingdoms of Alterac and Lordaeron, and even Brill, the largest town in Tirisfal, was once a fiefdom of the Barov Family! The Barov Family's wealth was second only to the two royal families in both kingdoms! Without the support of this family, the Cult of the Damned could never have grown so rapidly. Even the Cult of the Cult of the Damned Scholomance, was established on one of the Barov Family's fiefdoms Caer Darrow Island.
As for the other three mages...
Clearly, Jaina has more authority to speak on this matter.
"I've seen information about the Grand Widow Faerlina in Dalaran. She's a botanist with a particular fondness for highly venomous spiders, earning her the nickname ' Black Widow.' She's a high-ranking mage specializing in fire."
Jaina, her face grim, tied Baron Soroson, now transformed into a white rabbit, to his son Dudley: "She married seven young noblemen in succession, killing the first six and inheriting their fortunes. Now she's one of the richest women in all of Lordaeron. Her seventh husband is Noth Abraham, a Archmage who studies Necromancy."
The Kirin Tor Council of Dalaran has a strict prohibition against studying Necromancy, but there are always some mages in this world who are drawn to the world of souls and the dead. Most of these necromancers have pure souls, and only such people have the ability to communicate with the dead in a harmonious way. Noth is one of the best among them.
But now, he has been seduced by Faerlina and fallen into depravity. He uses cruel methods to forcibly enslave souls and oppress the dead, becoming a curse master of the Cult of the Damned!
If he has fallen, then the dozens of necromancers in the entire Lordaeron Necromancers' Association have probably all fallen as well. This is a terrifying force, equivalent to half of the Lordaeron Royal Mages!
"And there's Heigan Ravendre. I know him. He was an Archmage in Dalaran, very talented in curses and poisons. He left Dalaran about a hundred years ago, supposedly returning to his hometown in Andorhal. Who would have thought that those plague cauldrons scattered throughout the towns and cities of Lordaeron were his doing!"
Jaina's face was extremely grim, her fists clenched tightly. " Kel'Thuzad, Heigan, Noth, Faerlina! I must report these to my teacher. The Kirin Tor Council must be held responsible for the Undead Scourge!"
" Princess Calia, Miss Fenna, Miss Jaina," Jiang Jie said, "There's no time to lose; we should act now."
Princess Calia nodded and said, "Alright! Let's proceed according to plan! Fenna, contact ' The Defender ' Magroth, ' The Lifebringer ' Harak, and ' The Lifebringer ' Harak. First, purge the Cult of the Damned members within the Knights of Faith. Then, according to the list, arrest all the nobles who have joined the Cult of the Damned. Anyone who dares to resist will be executed! Jaina and I will meet with the highest-ranking officer of the security forces to purge the Cult of the Damned members from the security forces. Then, we will completely seal off the entire Lordaeron, allowing no one to enter or leave! As for Nicholas, you..."
A cold smile appeared on Jiang Jie's lips, " Lilian and I will go to the Assassins' Order's base right now to contact Lord Miles, purge the Cult of the Damned members from within the Assassins' Order, and then we'll come to help you!"
Princess Calia nodded and said, "Alright! Remember, members of the Cult of the Damned all have special marks on their bodies! These marks are created with special potions and cannot be forged or removed!"
