Chapter 350: Gnoll Allegiance
Chapter 350: Gnoll Allegiance
After the fate card sank into Richie's eyebrows, the hall returned to calm, and Davis and the others finally regained their freedom. After feeling the huge pressure on his body disappear, Davis directly cast a black mist teleportation, teleporting to Leqi's side!
Seeing Davis looking at him nervously, Leitch held her jade hand and chuckled, "Don't worry, you've got a good thing." ”
"That's good. Hearing this, Davis finally put his mind at ease.
At this time, a group of Lyra patrol guards also gathered in front of Leitch. Seeing that the gnoll leader, who had not yet recovered from the heavy wound, was tied up strongly, Leitch couldn't help but feel very satisfied—after the treacherous scene before, he had not forgotten his duty and remained vigilant against the enemy, which showed that the quality of the Lyra Patrol Guards was really good!
"My lord, what should I do with this gnoll?" The female guard squadron leader looked at the gnoll leader's eyes with murderous intent, obviously the previous betrayal of the other party seriously violated her bottom line!
"White Wolf King, don't mind if I call you that, do you?" said Reach, smiling at the Gnoll Leader - the word 'White Wolf King' reminded Leitch of his other secret subordinate, the White Wolf, the Adjudicator of the Dark Sanctuary! Speaking of the Dark Sanctuary, he really hadn't paid attention to it for quite some time, and he didn't know how it was going, and maybe it might have been picked by some nobleman or knight of justice......
Looking at Leqi with a smile on his face, the wolf eyes of the White Wolf King flashed with a touch of complexity, and after a moment of silence, it finally nodded silently.
Looking at the white wolf king, whose body was severely injured but his face was extremely calm, Leqi admired this anomalous gnoll more and more - from his daring to create a precedent for throwing the entire tribe under the command of a human lord like himself, but daring to brazenly backstage his own ferocity when facing the fate card, it can be seen that his thinking is ahead and his ambition is great! It's a pity that the other party is a jackal, with the current situation on the continent of Blanca, no matter what kind of talent a jackal has, it is destined that it will never be able to really stand out on the continent!
"You have brought your people under my command, and I have accepted your allegiance, which means that you and your people will accept my rule, and that all that you and your tribe belong to me in name - the kings of the ancient have testified to this! But alas, your previous inappropriate actions have undoubtedly been a great provocation to my dignity, and an absolute betrayal! The betrayal of a lord comes at a heavy price—I believe you should know this as you have a good understanding of human culture?" Leitch still had a smile on his face.
The White Wolf King was silent for a moment, and then nodded heavily, which was beyond the expectations of the female guards.
"It's good that you admit it!" Reich smiled and nodded, and then said as if a bard were telling a story, without the slightest sense of personal emotion, "because of your betrayal of a lord, it will undoubtedly raise serious questions about the lord's loyalty to you and your tribe - a gentle lord will remove your allegiance and expel your tribe from the realm, and if you are replaced by a cruel lord, you may destroy your broken tribe! and you, at the least, will be burned at the stake!" I'm sure you know I'm not joking. ”
The White Wolf King was still silent, but from the depths of his pupils, a deep complication could be seen passing through again.
"White Wolf King, you are very lucky!" Seeing that the White Wolf King raised his head abruptly and looked at him in surprise, Lei Qi chuckled, "You know what, you are really lucky, because I will forgive your sins!"
"My lord?!" Hearing Leitch say the word forgiveness, the faces of the female guards couldn't help but show deep surprise, puzzlement and unconvinced, obviously feeling that Leitch was undoubtedly too tolerant of this betrayer!
Even the White Wolf King looked at Leitch in amazement, obviously feeling extremely unbelievable about this result. However, judging from the joy in his eyes, no matter how different this gnoll man is, it still cares very much about his own life! In addition to joy, the White Wolf King's eyes are also mixed with a hint of lightness, obviously he is very relieved that the tribe has not been destroyed because of his own sins, which shows that he still cares about the tribe very much. But it also shows the terrifying nature of this gnoll - when faced with a choice between his own ambitions and the fate of his tribe, he will brazenly choose the former! A creature like this that regards itself above everything else is undoubtedly extremely difficult to control, and if you don't get it right, you may even be bitten back!
But Leitch doesn't have any worries about this, because it's like raising a cuckoo bird, maybe this cuckoo bird is a little petty, and when it's unhappy, it doesn't say a word, and even pecks itself when he's not paying attention! But just like Oda Nobunaga said, how can you treat a cuckoo if it doesn't cry? Oda Nobunaga's answer is, kill it! And this is also Leech's answer!
Ratche raised his hand to suppress the female guards who were about to speak, and smiled at the White Wolf King: "White Wolf King, I admire you, this is rare, you should be honored by this honor! Because I value you, I will forgive you for your offense to me before." Not only that, but you and your tribe will also receive my strong support - your tribe will not only be sheltered in my territory, I will even provide your tribe with weapons, armor and other resources, so that your tribe can recover and grow, and the entire Frost Mountains will be your battlefield, and in the future, there will be a **** who will be able to become the real white wolf king!"
The White Wolf King's string of promises made the White Wolf King hear it with great light, his eyes twinkled, and his eyes were filled with deep longing and strong anticipation.
"But I want you to remember one thing - I am your lord, and the ancient kings are witnessing this! If you offend my dignity again, you will no longer be able to receive my forgiveness, and you and your tribe will face destruction!"
Lei Qi's words were sonorous and powerful, and every word was like a knife, especially when he said the word 'destruction', which made the White Wolf King's eyes suddenly freeze when he heard it, and his eyes revealed deep jealousy and profundity. But after a few moments, he forcibly struggled to his feet, and with the courtesy of a human nobleman, he fell to one knee in front of Leitch with difficulty, and lowered his head heavily!
"Good. Richy nodded, and then said in a loud voice, "The ancient kings bear witness to this, I, Dawson Viscount of the Free Federation, Lord of the Black Wind Territory, Ricky Alec, hereby accept the allegiance of the White Wolf King! From now on, the White Wolf King and his tribe accept my protection, accept my rule, follow my laws, obey military service and pay taxes!"
"Alright, the ritual is over, and from now on you and your tribe are my rightful subjects. Now you untie the ropes for the White Wolf King and provide healing. With that, Ricky glanced at the guards beside him, but most of them remained silent, and none of them did as he was told. At this moment, Niza, who was the squadron leader, stood up silently, and with a blank face, he cut the rope on the white wolf king's wrist with a dagger, and released three healing spells for him, and then returned to Leqi's side silently. Ratche, on the other hand, just calmly watched all this.
"Retch, now that we've got the Gnoll Leader's weapon, shouldn't we head underground to find the Cryptman Leader? But the underground road is extremely complicated, I'm afraid it's not easy to find!" said Davis's beautiful eyebrows, obviously quite unoptimistic about the next move, especially when she thought of the less than a week in time, she couldn't help but feel that the situation was extremely urgent!
"It's not easy to go underground to find the leader of the cryptmen, the reason why we were able to get the weapons of the leader of the gnolls in such a short period of time is because of the information provided by Bond, and although I have never gone down to the underground of this chaotic rocky beach, it is not difficult to imagine the complexity of it, I am afraid that it is not much more than the anthill! Leitch said lightly.
"Then what should we do? If we can't get the Cryptman Leader's weapon, even if your academy is really willing to take out the Inception potion, we won't be able to use it!" Davis frowned.
Instead of answering directly, Leitch asked a strange question: "Let me ask you a question, if you know a group of rats hiding in a rat hole, how do you think you can catch them?"
"The problem is that those crypt people aren't rats!" Davis couldn't help but give him an angry look.
However, Davis's attitude did not affect the interest of the female guards, and the technical work of 'catching mice' was undoubtedly new to them, so they enthusiastically expressed their opinions one by one.
"Dig the ground, dig all the way down the hole, and you'll definitely be able to dig to the end!
"Only a stupid girl like you would think of such a stupid solution! If you do this, if the rat hole is very deep, especially if there are many forks in the road, I don't think you will be able to dig to the end!" the other female guard next to the female guard couldn't help but quip.
Leitch glanced at the female guard who spoke first, and couldn't help but nod secretly - well, I have to say that this conclusion is very insightful!
"Then what can you think of?" said the big-breasted girl as she glared at her unscrupulous sister unconvinced.
"Of course it's flooded!Witchers like us, as long as we easily release a few water magic, those rats are not allowed to be poured out by us?!" The girl with not very big breasts said triumphantly.
"What kind of flooding, I think your method is also unreliable!The viscount is obviously alluding to the underground lair of the crypt people, do you think our magic can fill those passages?!" Another dumbfounded female guard suddenly struck the triumphant female guard who was 'not very big-breasted'.
……
"Smoky. In the midst of the noise, the taciturn Squadron Leader Niza succinctly explained what she had in mind.
