"Agreed, there's no fun in all that, at least not for people like us. Okay man, shouldn't be a problem to tack your announcement on at the end of your 'Adventures in Underworld Land.' I'll get pops to approve it, and handle all the regulatory crap for you."
"Thanks Shooter. See ya."
"Ciao, Skelly."
Dave moved to stand before one of the reflective walls and summoned Spectral Skulls, sending them into the wall to multiply them.
Eventually he had hundreds of skulls arranged behind him, An army of eerily glowing Skulls glaring at the wall in front of him.
He stomped the ground activating [Death Surge]
Dark Shadows spread out from under Dave's feet then climbed up his legs and torso, enshrouding him in a light-stealing death aura. He looked like one of those orthodox Christian icons, except instead of a gold halo around him it was a dread-inducing darkness.
Then he enabled his video capture.
Pulling the scroll out, Dave held it up in one hand, letting it unroll to show the seal at the bottom.
"The Right of Conquest," Dave said, addressing his reflection in the mirror.
"To get it, you will have to compete for it.
"But not in anything so barbaric as a physical fight.
"Today at 22:00 EST this item will be put up for auction. Anyone in Conquest can bid on it."
Dave waved his hand and the scroll disappeared, the [Death Surge]'s effects ended and with a snap of his fingers all the skulls shone brighter for a moment before blowing up in a glorious shower of light, like a new year's fireworks display.
The video ended.
Dave checked the announcement and decided it had the tone he was going for.
Dave left the octagonal room and headed back to the main room where his battalion waited for him.
"Alright boyz, we need to wrap things up! There are likely some worms still lurking around, wiggling behind the walls. Lets clean this place out so can leave soon."
Dave jumped on the back of Stinger and the battalion headed out to clear the mines.
He led his battalion to search the mines for other Blood Worms.
After wandering the mines, he found that there were several other passages that led deeper into the unknown.
These were the passages the Blood Worms that ambushed them in the tunnels came from.
Yet after checking them, he found that they were all blocked by falls or cave-ins of bloodstones.
He directed the shoot-n-loot mission until he was sure the mine was cleared and it was safe for the miners to come work the tunnels.
When they finally emerged from the old mine the bright light from the broken moon made him raise a hand to shield his eyes.
"Prey!" said Bud, pointing northwest of the mine.
A number of bloodworms charged at the Battalion.
"Ready up, boyz!" hollered Dave and the slaughter began again.
When Perfect Shot got the link to Dave's video he downloaded and watched it. He smiled afterwards, shaking his head. That guy.
"I need to get his advance payment for this,"
Perfect Shot forwarded the link back to his father to approve payment and start the ball rolling, he also sent it to the editing crew so they could get to work on it.
Dave rode on Stinger's back as they marched back to the Red Fortress. He got the quest completed notification shortly after they left the area around the mine.
He had a big toothy smile plastered across his Draugr face as they rushed across the Deserted Plains.
They crossed the drawbridge into the Red fortress just as the broken moon was setting. He walked over to the biggest building in the fortress..
Dave entered a big hall with long table down the middle. The table looked like it was new construction. The hall was newly decorated, statues and images of the Undead-King were all over the place.
"Du'Rhaza!" he greeted the Doom Knight who was reading through some old scrolls.
"Kis'Shtiengbrah, you have returned early. How was the subjugation, is the mine cleared of bothersome monsters?"
"Everything went well. The tunnels are clear, you can send the miners, there were some areas blocked off by a wall of Blood-Stones that I couldn't get to."
"That shouldn't be a problem, we will send undead workers to mine the area, we need those blood-stones for the Dead-Realm, your percentage of the Blood Stone will be sent here. You can exchange them in the Undead-realm or exchange them directly with Ramsha," said Du'Rhaza.
"I get a percentage?" Dave was startled.
"You are the commander of the Red Fortress, your holding includes the area the mine is in. So it is only natural that you get a percentage of the stones." Du'Rhaza chuckled at Dave's expression.
"Where are Orn and Gale?" asked Dave
"Right behind you," said Du'Rhaza
Dave turned to see the two towering Doom Knights appear out of nowhere, looking at him in question.
"We're going to take another trip to the world of the living." said Dave
"Lord, we will protect you until our true death, but if that assassin…" before Orn could finish Dave interrupted him.
"Don't be concerned. This time we will go to another location, somewhere less populated."
"Hold, Kis'Shtiengbrah," Du'Rhaza stopped him.
"You have grown much stronger than when I last saw you. Are you going to rank up? You could do much more when you are promoted to Death-knight," said Du'rhaza with a wicked grin.
Du'Rhaza had promised him a place in the Doom Knight's own Division. He would become a brigade-leader with ten battalions under his direct command.
"I completely forgot about that!" Dave opened his military panel and saw he was eligible for the Death Knight rank. He just needed to defeat a Death Knight in the arena to be promoted.
But with the level difference, it would normally be impossible for Dave, at level 216, to defeat a level 300-plus Death Knight.
'Yesterday I would have waited to level up to 300 before taking the rank-up challenge. But, now I know I can defeat a Death Knight with [Life Cleaver] if I'm patient and careful.
Too bad the Skill doesn't work on Mythic tiers or higher, ranking up in the legion would be so easy!'
He looked at Du'Rhaza and nodded, "I will challenge for Death Knight after I finish some personal business."
He took out a teleport scroll and tore the parchment to activate it after giving the two Doom Knights one each.
