059. Hruff, the leader of the gnolls
Alan always felt that a girl like Linda, who was full of weakness, was not suitable to be a swordsman, no matter what genre style.
But he won't interfere, as long as Linda likes it, he must support it, and naturally handed Linda to Olya, so that now except when she gets up, Alan basically can't see her for the rest of the time.
It's not just him, even Xiao Hei has now become a bear child who no one cares about, messing around with Allen's room all day long.
Fortunately, most of the time, Xiao Hei is still honest, and Allen's orders also work, so as not to disturb his work.
The forest bear grows very fast, eats and sleeps all day long, sleeps and eats, and in just a few months it has stood up to the height of Allen's legs, and his strength is also very amazing.
Other than that, nothing bothered Eren these days, and the gnolls who appeared on the outskirts of the forest were surprisingly honest, and didn't do anything out of the ordinary except for robbing some grain from the fields.
This surprised Alan and the others, didn't it say that the gnolls were all bloodthirsty and savage creatures?
Why don't you even do such a thing as slaughtering villages?
Let Locke and Olya stay in vain for several nights.
But gnolls are always gnolls, and no matter what they look like, Alan will not let such creatures entrench themselves near their territory, and Locke has already put together an army to get rid of these guys.
......
In the middle of the Hot Wind Forest, the once peaceful jungle is now roaming around with a group of gnolls.
At this moment, in front of a tent made of rags, a majestic gnoll was roaring at a dozen of his kind around him.
He is the leader of this tribe of gnolls, Hruff.
Unlike other impulsive and reckless gnolls, Hruff possessed enough intelligence to calm himself.
At the same time, Hruff believes that it is also his wisdom that makes him the only jackal in the Wildpaw tribe who can communicate with the statue of the ancestor, so that Hruff naturally becomes the leader of the Wildpaw tribe.
The only pity is that Hruff did not become a shaman.
Despite this, he still let the glory of the ancestors protect the entire Wildclaw tribe, making the males in the tribe stronger and the females easier to raise.
As a tribe in the forest, once you have enough strength, the first thing you instinctively do is to conquer and annex relatively weak tribes in order to strengthen your tribe.
Because of the existence of Hruff, the Wild Claw tribe easily subdued several small tribes around it, and the number of the Wild Claw tribe was nearly 1,500 people, including those enslaved male gnolls.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long, and it didn't take long for the Wildclaw tribe to encounter a medium-sized and large-sized gnoll tribe that could also communicate with the ancestral statues, and the other party also had a shaman who could release bloodthirsty magic, and there were few gnolls left in the Wildclaw tribe after a big battle.
If it weren't for Khruf's wisdom, the transfer of the tribe's females and cubs in advance, and the planning of the escape route, the Wildclaw tribe would not have so many people left.
On top of that, when Hruff was moving with the Wild Claw Tribe, he met a lone gnoll, and it was he who gave Khruf a direction to escape from the pursuit of the hostile tribe.
But what Khruf didn't expect was that they actually ran to the edge of the forest and came to the edge of the human world.
There are different opinions among the gnolls about the attitude towards humans, with some seeing them as non-threatening food and others as formidable enemies.
Khruf felt that they were someone to trade, and although he didn't know what humans were thinking, Hruff needed food and weapons to regain his place in the deep forest.
Unfortunately, these of his kind are too ignorant to communicate with humans either drooling or grinning fiercely.
There are even some jackals who immediately enter a state of madness because they see a little blood, and humans immediately attack.
This morning, Khruf finally got a chance to talk peacefully with the human soldiers, but was once again ruined by his companions who couldn't control him, which is why he scolded these gnolls.
"Chief, I think we can kill all these people and grab their food and weapons!"
After being scolded by Khruf for a long time, a jackal next to him scratched his thin-haired head and retorted.
Some of the companions were the first to speak, and the other gnolls also spoke, and they felt that the fact that no deal had been made these days showed that this method was useless, and that it was more practical to put humans on the fire in the camp to roast.
And they also found that they didn't have to use their hands at all, just make a fierce expression, and the farmers with scythes would throw down their food and run away.
"Shut up, you fools!"
Khruf bared his sharp fangs and let out a roar, and the other gnolls immediately stopped speaking.
Immediately afterwards, the leader of the Wild Claw tribe smashed a punch into the face of the jackal who had spoken first, directly knocking him to the ground.
All the gnolls bowed their heads, not daring to look directly at their leader.
For these wild and untamed guys, violence must be used to make them obedient, this is the truth that Khruf has always known, and it is also the most helpless place for him.
"Do you know why we live in the forest all this time?"
Hruff pulled the fur on the chest of a jackal and roared: "Because humans are more terrible than wild beasts, they have armies, armies!"
There are fragmented records in the inheritance memory of the ancestors, there were several powerful tribes that united to invade the human world, at first they were all killing and plundering, but in the end, their fate awaited them was to be encircled and suppressed to the destruction of the race, without exception.
Even the elven tribe, which the gnolls have always coveted and feared, is no match for humans, and legend has it that the once mighty elven empire was destroyed by the siege of humans.
These self-defeating guys still want to hunt humans?
It's all about bringing the Wildclaw tribe into the abyss of destruction!
Thinking so, Hruf pulled up the gnolls he had knocked to the ground and punched him again......
......
Not long after, on the other side of the Thermals Forest, behind a hidden rock, Eren listened quietly to the report of the Half-Elf Patrol, who recounted everything that had happened in the Gnoll camp.
After listening, Alan turned to look at Locke and Olya,
"Have you ever heard of such a gnoll?"
The two shook their heads.
Locke may not have seen much, but Olya has lived in the forest for so long, and the gnolls she meets have all used their wisdom to track their prey, and there has never been such a gnolls who are not dominated by desire.
But Khruf was right, the vast majority of tribes that attacked out of the forest either flashed with one blow, or they could not escape the fate of being exterminated by humans.
"This gnoll leader is quite interesting......"
Alan thought about it for a while, and found that there was really something that was quite suitable for this somewhat thoughtful Khruf when he came to the territory.
"Give him a chance if it's convenient. ”
