The Emperor’s Angel of Death

This damp, stinky swamp has always been the hunting ground designated by ‘Big Eye’ Uruk himself. For the Green Skin Boyz, besides fighting on the battlefield, the most important thing is to find good food. However, due to the “efforts” of their boss, the Great Pyromaniac Snagrod, most of the world's ecology has turned into burning ashes. The Boyz are generally not interested in eating charcoal, and catching fish is not their forte. Thus, the swamp has become one of the few remaining “dining tables”. Those slippery mud fish, the chewy and refreshing leeches and insects, various mushrooms cultivated by the Gretchin, and the rotten plant roots are all good stuff. Many Boyz are willing to pay a high price to get some of these.

As the hunter with the keenest eyes, Uruk excels at finding good things. He has accumulated a lot of “wealth” from this swamp, ranging from various guns and cannons to Squigs. In comparison, he is not even that interested in fighting anymore. Although the Boyz secretly scold him as a rotten mud blue-face ghost, his power has been expanding. Now he is already a quite powerful boss.

All those who coveted his territory were ruthlessly trampled into the mud by him, and those who provoked him, whether diners or not, became food for the Squigs.

Occasionally, he would also catch some shrimp as special ingredients, which, combined with various mushrooms planted by the Gretchin, made a very popular delicacy. After the Boyz had a hearty meal in his canteen, they would contentedly go to the front line to continue besieging the shrimp's stone wall. This is also one of the reasons why the boss allows him to operate (slack off) in the rear. Faced with the shrimp's stone wall that had been under siege for a long time, even the Pyromaniac boss had to consider the Boyz's emotions. A hearty meal is the best way to boost morale and prevent the Boyz from thinking wildly, which could pose a threat to the boss's position.

Uruk doesn't understand what logistics is, but he inadvertently undertakes the logistics role of the Green Skin army.

However, recently his territory has been a bit uneasy.

Or rather, very uneasy.

“Gretchin’s, business has been getting worse and worse lately.”

Uruk muttered under his breath as he waded through the knee-deep mud. His strange face, painted blue, has a pair of deformed eyes, one large and one small, which is the origin of his nickname. His long tusks are adorned with many gold and silver rings inlaid with gemstones, which are obviously human handicrafts.

Although he wears armor, his limbs are basically unprotected for easy movement in the swamp. Therefore, his legs are covered with leeches, which are also a local specialty of the swamp.

Uruk pulled one off his leg and stuffed it into his mouth. The sticky body between his lips and teeth compensated for the brief tingling from tearing the leech off his knee.

Behind him, twenty or so Green Skin Boyz armed with guns were also grumbling and complaining, but they tried to keep their voices down to prevent the boss from hearing—although it was still quite loud by Green Skin standards.

After all, they had been in the knee-deep swamp for several days. In the past, hunting and fishing would only take a short while, and everyone could return to the warm shack to drink mushroom wine, eat grilled shrimp or leech soup, and play face-biting games. Why should they be so tired?

But the boss was angry, and everyone didn't dare not to come, so they could only complain.

At this time, they were already in the deepest part of the swamp. This swamp is located in the Akalan Basin south of Reikland New City, and it is also the main gathering place for the Green Skins to besiege Reikland New City. This swamp was rarely set foot in the past. When the mud was stirred by the Green Skins' thick legs, it emitted a smell mixed with rotten bird eggs and corpses, which was probably worse than both.

“Ouch!”

A Boyz screamed again, but the other Boyz didn't even look, knowing what had happened.

He was bitten by a big bug again. There are all kinds of poisonous insects in the swamp, some of which are almost as big as a Boyz's arm. The venom can instantly melt a Gretchin. Being bitten by a smaller one is enough for a Boyz to howl for half a day, and no matter how much saliva is spat on the wound, it will be red and swollen and will last for several days.

In addition, the beasts in the swamp are also particularly irritable, attacking all living things visible in front of them. Therefore, the Snakebite Boyz who are bitten are also quite fond of wandering around the swamp. They are also Uruk's main target for driving away.

As a hunter, he enjoys challenges. Although there are also many beasts in the shrimp's stone city, the little things in the city are too weak.

Suddenly, something seemed to be faintly visible in the fog ahead. It was a twisted, clawing, filthy giant tree. It was so large that the canopy disappeared from Uruk's sight.

As Uruk approached, he could see the corpses hanging on the tree.

It was a group of Snakebite Boyz. They were not trapped by ropes or vines, but each one was pierced through the torso and internal organs, with their limbs hanging upside down into the moss. The semi-rotten corpses exuded a foul stench.

“Well, looks like we might get lucky today.”

Uruk tightened his grip on the throwing spear and squinted his eyes, which were of different sizes. This is the reason why he went deep into the swamp.

Recently, his Boyz have been disappearing, and customers have also been disappearing frequently.

The Snakebite Boyz have been spreading strange rumors about "flying demons" and "mist ghosts", scaring the Boyz so much that they dare not come to the canteen anymore. You must know that the Green Skin Boyz are all brave, not afraid of guns and cannons, but only afraid of "ghosts", or some mysterious and incomprehensible things. Sometimes, the Weirdboyz like to make up ghost stories to scare the Boyz in order to improve their status, and let the Boyz hire themselves at a "high price of teeth" to "fight ghosts".

Of course, Uruk did not fail to invite them. He invited five or six Weirdboyz in a row, but they disappeared without a trace like the other Boyz. Even their leader, a Madboy boss, was gone. Of course, Uruk believed more that they had taken the money and ran away.

There was no way, business had to continue, otherwise the Boyz under him would have to break up. Therefore, he could only come to find the reason himself, otherwise the customers would not dare to come, and even the Gretchin would not dare to grow mushrooms, no matter how hard they were kicked.

He guessed that some bad-hearted boss was making trouble for him. This kind of thing was not uncommon, but it was usually just drunken antics or some small tricks, and rarely so "excessive".

In other words, he came with the goal of killing that bastard.

After all, if he continued to let the other party mess up, the Boyz would not dare to come and eat and drink, their morale would weaken, and fighting would be boring. If fighting was boring, they would not be able to break the shrimp's stone wall, the Pyromaniac boss would get angry, and he would get beaten.

Whoever dared to make him get beaten, he would spear to death!

Confirming that the target might be nearby, the blue-faced boss turned around and made a gesture, and the other Boyz immediately dispersed.

Uruk swayed forward and came to the tree, propping the throwing spear against a lower branch.

He carefully looked at the tree trunk and found claw marks, which were a bit strange, like some kind of

Bipedal creature?

Four claw marks on each side.

It has four claws, and they are very sharp. The depth chiseled into the tree trunk is enough for him to insert a finger. This thing won't be too small.
