Khruf was very reluctant to surrender, especially without the promise of the human leaders.

But now, under this one-sided slaughter, the gnolls don't even have room to resist.

The next thought that came to Khruf's head was to flee with his people, but when he got up to look for an opportunity, he found that all directions had been surrounded, and arrows with bows and bows were watching them fiercely.

The difficult situation made it difficult for Khruf to choose, but now he could not hesitate, and several gnolls fell every second.

"Stop, we surrender!"

In fact, Khruf had a chance to escape on his own, but he did not want to see all his fellow tribes buried here, so he took the risk and chose another path, threw away his axe, and raised his hands.

Locke looked at Allen with an inquiring gaze, who nodded, and Locke complied and rushed in front of Khruf,

"Order your men to stop!"

Khruf glanced at the sword pointed at him, turned and handed his back to the other man, and let out a sad roar at the gnolls, who had shrunk into a circle.

This is the order of the Jackals to surrender.

Khruf knew that after this sound, the Wildclaw tribe would no longer exist.

However, the next actions of these fellow people made his heart hit hard.

The surviving gnolls did not hesitate to surrender, and as soon as Khruf's order was given, they threw down their weapons with joy on their faces and knelt on the ground with their hands held high.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the leader of Khruf was still alive, they would have surrendered a long time ago, and now that they had received the order, they naturally gave up resistance.

Where did the gnolls get their courage and dignity? they were nothing more than a pack of filthy beasts!

Khruf's big mouth under his black nose grinned slightly, revealing a hint of sneer.

He suddenly regretted not running away on his own, and for the first time began to dislike himself for being a gnoll.

Allen, on the other side, didn't notice Hruff, who was thinking so much, because this was the first time that he had a full combat except for Horn, so he was now focusing on casualties and results.

"Where's Linda?"

Alan looked around, a little nervous.

In order to let Linda experience the bloodshed and cruelty of war as soon as possible, he deliberately brought the little maid with him this time, somewhat trying to persuade him to retreat.

"Young master, I'm here. ”

Linda waved her hand and stepped out from behind a thick tree trunk, wiping the corners of her mouth with her hand, her pale face glaring in the night, apparently having just vomited.

"Murdered?"

Linda nodded, as if remembering the previous situation, her stomach instantly churned again, and she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand.

Alan looked at Linda's appearance, there was still a red scar on her delicate hand, and sighed silently in her heart, but she didn't speak, and gently brushed the back of the little maid, which was considered to be comforting.

It didn't take long for Locke and Olya to count their records, and the infantry had seventeen killed and nine seriously wounded, all of whom had just been recruited, and the rest were lightly wounded.

One of the archers was seriously wounded, and because he was careless, he was hit by the jackal's stone axe, and Anne was in charge of healing.

The number of gnolls killed is not known for the time being, but it is known that the number of captives was one hundred and three, plus Khruf was one hundred and four.

This record sounds okay, but Allen is not too acceptable, and many specific problems and mistakes have to be carefully studied.

Of course, the forest was not a good place to study, and he was going to meet the strange gnolls first.

"Hello, Gnoll Chief. ”

Alan looked up and down at Khruf, who was kneeling on the ground, and pointed to him, "I think it's better for you to block it first." ”

He couldn't treat the gnoll as a brute, so he was a little disgusted.

Locke also realized that he had neglected something at this time, and hurriedly tore off a large piece of rag from the tent next to him and threw it to Khruf.

"Thank you, Human Leader. ”

Khruf picked up the rags and wrapped them around his waist, barely covering the long object.

"Please call me Khruf, don't call me the head of the gnolls, it disgraces me. ”

Well?

Khruf's words surprised Allen, a gnoll leader could be ashamed of his identity?

Is it because he was captured?

Before Allen could ask, Khruf continued to speak,

"Leader of the race, I want to have the same rights as humans, to exchange my wealth for my freedom. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Crescent suddenly stepped forward and gave the gnoll a crisp slap.

"Prisoner, please maintain your respect, and address the baron as Lord or Master. ”

The slap of the crescent moon immediately attracted Linda's approving gaze, she had long been uncomfortable to listen to, but she didn't have the courage of her instructor.

Alan finally reacted, and if it weren't for the crescent moon reminder, he wouldn't have noticed it for a while.

"It's a pity, Khruf, it's the privilege of the nobility to redeem oneself with one's wealth, and you and your entire tribe are now my spoils, so you have no right to make the conditions. ”

Alan looked at the gnoll and shook his head with a smile,

"However, if you're willing to cooperate, you may get some preferential treatment. ”

After listening to Allen's answer, Khruf lowered his head.

The leader of the gnolls knew his current situation, so he didn't hesitate for too long, and obediently took Alan and the others to his tent, and dragged out a large wooden box from it.

Khruf struggled to drag it, and the box didn't look light, but when it was opened, the contents disappointed Allen.

Glass bottles, shards of precious stones, metal ores, two axe heads, a few hides, and a few coins.

The only consolation was that in the midst of this pile of rubble, two unknown magic crystal nuclei were found, which according to Hruff seemed to have been dug up from the corpses of demonic beasts they had picked up.

Alan also asked about metal ores, but unfortunately Khruf did not remember this kind of thing for a long time, and there was no way to verify it.

"Eh, what is this?"

After pouring out the contents of the wooden box, Alan picked up a stone pillar that was slightly longer than the palm of his hand, and looked closely at the other end, which seemed to be carved like a wolf's head.

"This is the ancestral deity of our Wild Claw tribe. ”

"Huh?"

Alan was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little ridiculous.

Shouldn't the statues of the ancestors be enshrined on the ground, at least two meters high?

This one, which is less than eighteen centimeters, is still placed in the ash of the box, and it is said that it is the statue of the ancestors?

"Really, Lord Baron, I didn't lie to you. Khruf added with great certainty.

The large ancestral stone statue is a luxury only for large tribes of more than 1,000 people, and the Wild Claw tribe was driven out of the forest before they could start construction.

"Then prove it to me. ”

Alan handed the pillar to Hruf, who did not reach for it.

The last time he had gained power from the Ancestral Idol was a few years ago, and he couldn't prove it now.

"Can I take a look at this thing......"

At this time, Linda next to her suddenly spoke, staring blankly at the stone pillar, as if she felt a trace of longing from above.

Although Alan was a little surprised, he did not hesitate in his movements, and turned around and handed the stone pillar to Linda.

However, the moment the little maid took over the stone pillar, a bright red light suddenly flashed from above!
