My players are so fierce

Chapter 749 748. Splitclaw Clan’s War Response

The news of the failure of Black Flame Pass was blocked by the Bloodscar Clan. Currently, only the upper echelons of the Splitclaw Clan know that their hundreds of thousands of vanguard troops perished together with the defenders of Black Flame Pass.

But some strange situations can be guessed without knowing the truth. For example, the series of astral tearing incidents that occurred in the territory of the Splitclaw clan in the past half month were very obvious acts of revenge, targeting only Splitclaw. Clan and the frequency is so high, the jackal leaders of other clans are not fools.

They've realized something is wrong.

But for the Splitclaw clan, these are nothing. The destruction of hundreds of thousands of troops alone is enough to break the bones of this big clan. There is only one choice left for them, and that is to respond to Xu Gesen At the call of the Grand Overseer, all the remaining warriors were committed to the attack on Transia.

Only by capturing Transia and causing horrific massacres can the clan's already precarious reputation be restored.

And there are more practical reasons. Only by carrying out sufficiently rich plunder in Transia and opening the way for subsequent armies to enter the core area of ​​the continent can they possibly regain their strength after this disaster.

The racial tradition of the gnolls is not benevolent. They are loyal supporters and practitioners of the Darwinian ecology. If it were not a time of war, the current weak posture of the Splitclaw clan would definitely lead to a group attack, and even bad consequences. Those small and medium-sized clans that were originally vassal to Splitting Claw will bite their masters back hard at this time, making their mouths full of oil.

This type of incident has happened many times before.

In the era of the Bone Grinning King, there were no such messy clans as Splitting Claw, Whip Tail, Broken Fang, and Blood Scar. They all rose up in the chaos after the failure of the Fourth Black Plague.

The Splitclaw clan has been cornered by the defeat at Blackfire Pass, and they have no choice.

How to stabilize this shaky situation at this time is the biggest challenge to Potana's successor. Fortunately, Xu Gesen already has the Bloodscar clan as a "loyal ally", so that it still has enough appeal and deterrence to pull the chopping claw. The last army of the clan.

At the assembly point provided by the Bloodscar Clan, in a valley located one hundred kilometers away from Transia in the Moss Valley, Xu Gesen, the newly promoted hunting god, was sitting on the hunting throne provided by the Bloodscar Clan, listening to what was happening in front of him. A report from the great warlord.

This throne was an item used by the King of Bonebiters back then. It was not very luxurious. It even had very little skull decoration that was the favorite of the jackals. It looked very "simple" and not barbaric.

But every skull inlaid on the throne polished with the skull of the Thunder Lizard King has its origins, and its small quantity cannot conceal its high quality.

Those are the most valuable enemies that Lord Philip personally hunted in the war, including the Hill Lord, the Ranger General, the Moon Priest, the Songhai Priest, the Halfling Master Technician, the Vampire Governor, and several famous human heroes. .

Such a great achievement proves that no one dares to underestimate the intimidating power of this throne. In the past hundred years, even the wildest gnoll chiefs did not dare to covet it. Gehrman Bonegnashers tried to kill Bloodscar five times and three times. The clan begged for it, but Chief Amot ignored it and only regarded it as a bone-crushing king practicing his unique skills of oral gymnastics.

In the eyes of the Bloodscar Clan, Gehrman Gnasher is just a poor imitator, and handing over this throne to him will only tarnish that glorious testimony.

At this time, Xu Gesen, who was sitting on top of Da Ma Jin Dao, also showed a different temperament from before.

It was put on a set of God's Choice armor made by the Bloodscar clan. The blood-colored paint made this thing look very coquettish and powerful enough. The full-coverage armor covered every part of Xu Gesen's body. Even the tail is equipped with a bone tailbone armor.

But the golden-red mane spread out from the neck of the armor, making it look like a human-shaped lion.

His left hand holds the crimson-wrapped Filth Fang, and under his right hand is a warg deathclaw that is several times larger in size. His eyes are cold and majestic, and the tuft of white hair on his forehead also became the finishing touch after the Divine Selection Ceremony. of red.

It looks very much like the third opened blood-colored eye.

In front of it, the Split Claw Grand Overseers who were summoned did not dare to act recklessly.

Perhaps a few gnoll warlords who were vassals of the Splitclaw Clan had other ideas in mind, but when they saw with their own eyes that they had been fully supported by the Bloodscar Clan, and even had a group of three hundred hunting elects as the new chiefs of the Guards, they He immediately gave up what he was thinking and respectfully called Xu Gesen "Master".

Portana's time is over.

Her last wish came true, and her most perfect work ascended to the throne of chieftain. The only irony is that the advancement of all this had almost nothing to do with her failed efforts.

"Our territory has suffered heavy damage, Master Hugeson."

An old jackal priest said tremblingly:

"Not only were the military garrison areas destroyed and polluted by the evil goatmen using the power of the astral realm, but also those important potion fields. Our harvest this year is gone, and the people of the tribe are going hungry.

To make matters worse, Mother Portana's mushroom fields under the Ash Plains were also destroyed.

Just two days ago, our guards discovered the invasion of elves and goatmen. They fought bravely, but the sinful dwarves who came out of the underground caught us by surprise. Those bastards who lived on the edge of the gray desert destroyed them with bombs. They conquered the mushroom field and forced back the rat people living further underground.

The weapons we prepare for war have lost their most important material. "

"But you still have the formed plague barrel in your hands, right?"

Xu Gesen said something hoarsely, his voice was not bright, but it made the old jackal shake his body and said:

"Yes, there is, but"

"We don't need those things anymore! It's obviously impossible to defeat the Transians with plague, especially their war spirits. Bringing these things with us requires specialized plague warlocks to preserve them. Next, we need to rush through the barren mountains quickly. In this area, the mountain roads are difficult to navigate, so it’s better to send these things to the Brass Fortress.”

The Manson priest beside Hugersen whispered:

"The withdrawal of the Bloodscar clan made Chief Gehrman very angry. This batch of plague can just eliminate his anger, and there is a siege over there, so the plague barrels obviously have more room for better performance. What do you think? Your Excellency God's Chosen .”

"Well, it's very prudent to think about it, let's do it like this."

Hugerson waved his hand and agreed to Manson's suggestion.

This attitude of "following the good deeds" also made Priest Manson very satisfied, which showed that Xu Gesen was still under the control of Blood Scar.

"Our people have lost their food source due to the attack of the Transians, and they are about to starve. Isn't this the original motivation for every black disaster?"

Hugersen stroked his warg and said:

"Recruiting all members of the Splitclaw clan and the sixteen vassal clans! Our number of soldiers is no longer enough, but it doesn't matter, every gnoll is a natural warrior, so the females are also ready to fight.

Take those babies that are taller than the wheels and let them grow up quickly in the war.

The remaining Splitclaw warriors and I will be the vanguard, and our compatriots from the Bloodscar clan will assist us in our assault on the destined battlefield in Transia.

Splitting Claw can't survive on his knees!

After suffering a disaster, we can either seize new territories as victors or die as sacrifices on the battlefield.

This is the fate of the Gnolls, there is no compromise! "

This order shocked the Splitclaw warlords in front of them, but they soon realized that the new chief was not joking.

It really decided to imitate the real black disaster and carry out a "whole family, old and young". This was really a situation that caught people off guard, but if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with Master Xugesen's considerations.

Rather than wait until the tribesmen really start killing each other because of hunger, it is better to give it a try while they can still fight back.

What's more, even if you have objections in your heart, who dares to raise them at this time?

Just look at the cold look Master Xu Gesen looks at these "old men from the former dynasty" like him, and you will know that anyone who dares to put eye drops on the new chief at this time is waiting to be caught and become a model.

Jackals are indeed not good at thinking, but there are no fools who can sit in the position of Grand Overseer.

They quickly accepted the order and turned around to leave here to convey that with the mobilization speed of the Jackals, the entire Splitclaw clan would enter a state of all-out war within a month at most. By then, all members of the Splitclaw clan in the entire Dark Mountains, young and old, would Regardless of gender or identity, we are heading towards Transia.

Yeah!

This is the mobilization power that black disasters should have!

After the overseers left, Hugersen fell into silence. It was obviously thinking about some issues. The Manson priest beside it did not disturb it, just like a loyal hunting servant who served faithfully.

A few minutes later, Xu Gesen said:

"I pledged all the Splitclaw clan's territory in the Dark Mountains as collateral, Priest Manson. I hope to borrow a batch of food and weapons from the Bloodscar clan for the march. I will leave some people to guard the territory. You We can send someone to receive it now.”

"Um?"

Manson didn't expect Xu Gesen to be so decisive. Is this guy really planning to risk everything for a last ditch effort?

It blinked and said:

"But the clan territory on the Ash Plains was something that Portana fought hard to snatch from the Goatmen when she was young. It was precisely because of this achievement that she became the warchief of the Splitclaw clan. Isn't it a bit strange for you to give it away like this? ."

"If I fail, the demise of the Splitclaw clan will only be a matter of time. What's the use of keeping the best and most fertile land? It's nothing more than fat in the eyes of other clans."

Xu Gesen waved his hand and said loudly:

"I was not deceiving my warlords just now. This will be a real giveaway for the Splitclaw clan. Transia will either become our new territory or our cemetery. There is no third option!"

"good!"

Manson praised with satisfaction:

"This is the caliber that the God of Hunting should have! Compared with your determination, Gehrman is too poor in all aspects. Sure enough, there is a reason why the Lord of Hunting favors you.

I will convey your request to Chief Amot. Moss Valley still has a batch of food that can be provided to you, but we are also short of sufficient weapons and ferocious wargs. I am afraid you will have to fight with the Whiptail clan. trade. "

"I'm not in the mood to talk to a fox like Old Singer, that's not my area of ​​expertise."

Hugersen stood up from his hunting throne and said to Manson:

"I will entrust this task to you. The Bloodscar Clan will allocate our territory. I don't care if we lose money. I just want to see that my people will not have to fight with claws and teeth when they step onto the battlefield.

Even the recipe for the psychic plague that my foster mother treasured, and the secrets of our Splitclaw clan's voodoo spells.

You can talk about all this!

But I'm facing a war, Lord Manson, and I don't want to lose, and I don't have that much time to spend on this kind of deal. I'll take my soldiers out this afternoon.

I want to capture Fort Courage first as a moment to ignite the gnoll's fire of revenge. "

"There's no need to waste time there, Xu Gesen. You can lead the soldiers to Barren Mountain."

Manson blinked and said:

"After the fall of Black Flame Pass, Fort Courage is already an isolated city. Since the Bloodscar clan wants to participate in the war, then leave the hard bones to us. As priests and followers of the Lord of the Hunt, we must also Offer sacrifices of victory to the gods.”

This is very shameless to say.

Compared with entering the barren mountains that have been fortified by the difficult Transians, besieging Fort Courage on the battlefield that has been reduced to ruins is obviously a less difficult task, at least on the surface it seems so.

This Manson keeps saying that the hundred thousand elites of the Bloodscar Clan will be dispatched by Xu Gesen, but in fact, he still wants to let the Splitclaw Clan take on dangerous tasks so that the Bloodscar Clan can pick up bones that are easier to chew.

This is actually understandable.

Even after the Lord of Hunting is born, the civilization of the Jackals still needs a leader who walks in the world, and the hierarchy between clans still exists. Awakening the Lord of Hunting will allow the Bloodscar Clan to gain supreme transcendence. Status, but the Bloodscar priests not only want status, they also want power!

In such a war, whoever can preserve more power in the final victory will naturally gain more power in the next era of the Jackals.

Xu Gesen couldn't hide this little thought at all, but the Hunting God's Chosen had no objection to it and behaved like a top-notch thug who obeyed his orders.

A perfect puppet.

It's clear that this is what the Hunting Priests of Bloodscar want to see.

And this Priest Manson, who single-handedly helped Xu Gesen become the Chosen God of Hunting, was obviously the "overlord", or controller, sent by the Bloodscar clan to the newly promoted Chosen God.

Another dog chain was put around Xu Gesen's neck, and the Bloodscar clan thought that this would be able to control it.

very good.

Let them continue to maintain this feeling of certainty of victory, just like the "the advantage is mine" mentality when Chief Potana ordered the use of plague.

The Hunting God's Chosen expressionlessly agreed to the next five requests made by Lord Manson, without even a whimper of objection. It was like a young jackal who was blinded by revenge and anger, and only focused on Thinking of leading an army to fight to the death with the Transians.

He just so casually gave Manson the real control of the legion.

"Then it's time for you to go to your army and prepare for war, Your Majesty the Chosen One."

Manson used a rather wonderful word to describe Xu Gesun. The latter nodded, put the blood-red war helmet on his head, covering the king's face, and the fierce death claws on it left the meeting. In the land, six hunting elects carried the throne used by the Bone-gnawing King and followed closely.

As they all left, Manson let out a sigh of relief.

It called an apprentice and said to it:

"Convey my order to Warlord Shute and ask him to take his clan to Fort Courage immediately. I will give him seven days to capture that place as the Bloodscar clan's garrison in the direction of Transia.

Then tell Chief Amot that our God-chosen Lord is as wise and brave as planned. His most precious trait is that he knows how to ask wise men and adopt correct advice, and his heart is full of the fire of revenge. This Enough to make it the best God Stomper.

Let the chieftain send people to take over the most elite territories of the Splitclaw clan. Those places with rich spiritual energy will become many sacred places for the Lord of the Hunt in the next era.

I will follow it through the Black Flame Pass, making sure everything goes according to the clan's plan.

There is no need to worry about the future of the Bloodscar clan anymore, that future is already firmly in our hands! Oh, by the way, don’t forget to send the core members of the clan to personally escort the batch of psychic plague to the Gorgon Pass.

King Gehrman Bonegnasher is an easily satisfied character, and he will forget the previous minor conflicts because these war weapons are in place.

Of course, when it leads the army into the Genoa Peninsula, the Bloodscar clan will also have our share of the harvest. "

The apprentice carefully recorded a series of orders from Lord Manson and then went to deliver them. The proud old Manson stood on this high point, looking down at the army that was gathering in the valley to prepare for departure.

It was the "Revenge Army" re-recruited by the Splitclaw Clan, their only remaining 60,000 elites and 40,000 barbarians from the Bloodscar Clan. It was the vanguard used by Xugersen to break the road to Transia.

They may eventually wear out, but such is the fate of the gnolls.

Since the day they woke up and moved around in the Dark Mountains, they have learned to use their lives to exchange for the things they desire.

First it's food, then it's territory, and finally it's victory.

The era of the Bone-Gnawing King gave the Gnolls a great goal for the first time and allowed them to learn to conquer. In the coming era, the Gnolls seemed to have returned to the origin of civilization. Once again, they It's time to fight for survival again.

"What a beautiful sight."

Manson stroked the corroded wound on his claws. As the claw blades beat with filthy power, he touched the very peculiar pendant hanging around his neck and said softly:

"O Lord of Hunting, we will enshrine all this to you. In the dusk of the world that will eventually come, in the fire of destruction that burns all things, please be born and bless us."
