Chapter 253 Melina's Acting Skills

Not long after, a violent explosion occurred in this magnificent palace, and the loud noise spread hundreds of kilometers underground.

During the explosion, many slaves enslaved by the Undead Queen took the opportunity to escape.

Amber and Melina were mixed in among these slaves.

This was the first lesson that Amber taught Melina: if you want to deceive someone, prepare all the details.

It’s not a meaningless character setting like the Elf Queen, but every origin of the identity must be closely related and targeted.

If you just claim to be a runaway slave, outsiders will not believe you.

Only when there are real problems on the side of the Undead Queen and a large number of escaped slaves appear, will the identities of Amberxiu and Melina be clear.

There were many slaves who ran out, including dwarves, drow, underground dwarves, some fungus people and rare races.

The explosion was like blowing up an ant nest. The undead were busy repairing the palace and had no time to care about the slaves.

This kind of escape is logical and reasonable, and no one can find any flaws.

"Father, how do we find the mastermind behind this now?" Melina asked Amber through soul resonance.

Amber Xiu did not answer, but asked: "What do you think?"

Melina thought for a moment, then said, "I remember which corridors they appeared in before. Maybe we can try our luck."

Amber rejected this suggestion.

"If you try your luck like this, how can you be sure that those spider drow will jump out and invite you to join them, instead of jumping out to eat you? Even if you are a female drow with a high status, they may eat me instead of you. In this way, won't my identity be exposed?"

After hearing this explanation, Melina was immediately confused.

If I don't go looking for them, how can I blend in with them? I can't let them find me, right? However, Amber's next words made Melina realize the difference in IQ.

"No one will care about something that comes to their doorstep. What we need to do is to make them come to us. What we need to do now is not to find the rebellious drow, but to bring back the slaves who have fled. When we have a strong enough force, the rebels will come to us to discuss cooperation."

"Oh! So this is how it can be done!" Melina was extremely shocked. She had never thought of this method.

It turns out that the bombing of the palace and sending away a large number of slaves was not only to shape their identity, there was a second reason.

"Do you understand? Then it depends on your ability. Recapture these slaves and make them follow you." Amber said.

"How do we recover this? Should we beat them up?"

"That's right."

Amber Xiu answered decisively that the easiest way to regain slaves was to take action, which was also in line with Zhuoer's personality.

The bigger the fist, the more truth it has. Poisoning, assassination or massacre are all no problem. This is the drow.

After getting Amber's consent, Melina felt excited that it was finally her turn to perform.

She is not very good at thinking, but she is very professional when it comes to doing things.

Even without a mount or a lance, Melina was still able to use her fists to beat down a large number of these fleeing slaves in panic.

But after beating the people, Melina was stuck and didn't know what to say when she saw the slaves looking at her with a "why did you beat me" look.

But fortunately, Amber Xiu reminded in time: "Tell these slaves, if they don't want to die, don't run around. Only by sticking together can they have a chance to survive."

Fortunately, Melina wasn't really stupid. She didn't just repeat it word for word, but said in her own words: "Stupid rubbish, this is the Underdark, don't you know what danger is? If you run separately, you will only die miserably. Only by sticking together can you survive."

After hearing this, the slaves became thoughtful.

They were all locals. The Underdark was indeed full of dangers, but if they stayed together, wouldn't they be hunted down by the undead? A drow said, "If we flee separately, we may die, but if we stay together, we will be dead if the undead catch up with us."

Melina was thinking about how to refute, but Amber said, "Break his legs. You are a female drow, and any male drow who dares to refute you should have his legs broken!"

Melina did not hesitate at all to follow Amber's order and walked towards the drow elf step by step.

The drow elf also knew that he had said the wrong thing. He was so excited that he forgot that he was facing a female drow.

He quickly fell to the ground, trembling, and said, "Dear Sir, I was wrong, please forgive me, I didn't mean to offend you, please forgive me."

Without any hesitation, Melina walked up to the drow and broke his calf with one step.

The drow let out a wail, but this time Amber didn't need to remind him, as Melina had already slapped him unconscious.

Amber's voice rang out in Melina's mind again: "Tell these slaves that most low-level undead are mentally retarded. As long as we throw down a half-dead one every once in a while, we can delay the speed of the pursuers."

Melina repeated the story, her tone becoming cold and ruthless. She had unknowingly become absorbed in the role.

After all, the undead are still an evil faction, and playing the role of a drow is much easier than playing the role of a paladin.

After hearing Melina's cruel remarks, the slaves did not panic, but instead felt that what she said made sense.

This is the Underdark, most of the races are cruel and selfish, throwing bait to delay the pursuers is nothing, this is far from their moral bottom line. What's more, most of the dozens of slaves here are drow, morality is non-existent to them.

Melina's plan was quickly approved by them, and the slave team was easily united.

Melina was not joking. She really broke a slave's legs every few kilometers, knocked him unconscious and threw him on the roadside.

I ran for who knows how many kilometers, and I could hardly smell the scent of the undead. The pursuers under the banner of the Black Rose did not appear.

Everyone thought that this was all Melina's achievement. This female drow really had the qualities of a leader.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Melina was also very excited. It had only been a short time since she ran out, and she already had a group of followers? This was too easy. If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before she would trap and kill those behind the scenes.

But before Melina could get excited for long, a drow elf came to Melina humbly while everyone was resting and asked, "My lord, we are now far away from the Mercury City, but where should we go next? Everyone is almost exhausted. We not only need rest, but also food and water."

Melina thought for a moment, and asked Amber Xiu in her mind: "Father, what should we do now? We have no food. We can't kill a drow and roast him for food, right?"

Amber Xiu wanted to roll his eyes. This kid was so into the role just now, how come he revealed his undead nature now? Although the drow are cruel, they don't eat their own kind. Male drow will only be offered as sacrifices to the Rose Spider Queen or sent to feed spiders, not cut into pieces and eaten.

"Melina, our goal is to get the rebels to come closer to us, not to care about the life and death of these drow. What you need to do now is not to consider these people, but to find ways to delay time until the rebels come to us. Why should we look for food? Why should we be led by the nose by the problem of the drow?"

"But shouldn't I answer?" Melina asked doubtfully.

"Ask him back. It's obvious that this guy is here to show off his presence. He won't ask a question he doesn't have the answer to. Just ask him back and you'll know."

Melina was still pondering the meaning of these words. The drow could not hear the conversation between the father and daughter, and thought that her words had made the drow lady think about something, so she took the opportunity to say, "My lord, I know there is a very weak fungus tribe nearby. We can occupy their territory! We will have food and shelter!"

Melina said in surprise, "Are you serious?"

Just as my father said, this drow elf just asked and answered his own questions. He is really insidious.

The drow said excitedly: "Of course, I swear to the Spider Queen, it is absolutely true, otherwise let me die in the mouth of the spider!"

The reason why he mustered up the courage to talk to Melina was because he knew the surrounding environment and hoped to gain the favor of this drow lord.

Male drow always have to rely on a powerful female drow; this is their habit and nature.

Who would have thought that Melina would slap him in the face, swollen half of his face, and roared, "You asked me when you knew this, do you want to embarrass me?!"

The drow covered half of his face, knelt on the ground humbly, and spit out blood, saying: "No, no, no, sir, I was wrong, I didn't mean that, please forgive me, I really don't dare."

Amber Xiu secretly admired that Melina was getting into the role again. This child is a promising talent.

There is no doubt that Melina's performance once again consolidated her leadership position, letting the slaves know that they were following a violent but powerful leader. She could beat all the slaves down by herself, and she didn't like those subordinates who played tricks. Only by remembering these two points could you live well under the command of this female drow.

Under such iron-fisted rule, these unarmed slaves lost their fear of the upcoming battle.

How could the mushroom people be as terrifying as this drow lord?

The following battle was really simple. Just like what the drow who was slapped in the face said, this fungus tribe was very weak. There were less than thirty people in total, young and old. How could they be a match for this group of vicious slaves? Melina alone was enough to sweep the tribe.

The battle ended quickly, but the mushroom tribe did not suffer much damage because there was a mushroom man among the group of slaves. After showing their strength, the mushroom people immediately surrendered and contributed all the food in the tribe.

After the battle, Melina no longer asked Amber what to do next.

Because her right eye had already seen the spider-like drow lurking in the shadows, the group of rebels had found them.
