Chapter 767: Spokesperson
And so it was.
Liu Xing and the others showed exactly the same expression, and they only said in their hearts that the plot flow of this module was too easy to guess.
So, Liu Xing told Zhang Jingxu what his group had just chatted with the scum and others.
Zhang Jingxu frowned, and said with some worry: "It seems that the new king of the Skaven Kingdom is a little unreliable, he was deceived by a small nobleman like this, and just for his own face, he launched a nationwide war, it seems that we must be prepared to be pitted by this king." ”
The hero saw the same thing, Liu Xing and the others now also felt that the new king was definitely an unreliable leader, if he was in charge of the war, I am afraid that he and his party really didn't know how they died.
"As for the scum Liu Xing you encountered, I have heard of it before, although it is one of the successors of the Scurry clan, but because its order is too low, so it has taken the initiative to stay in the first magician of the Scurry clan as an apprentice since it was a child, so it can now become the leader of the younger generation of the Scurry clan, and is sent to the Skawen Kingdom as a courtier of the high-ranking nobles." Zhang Jingxu touched his chin and said.
At this time, Ding Kun couldn't help but ask: "By the way, Lord Zhang Jingxu, do you know what the relationship between the Skaven Kingdom and the Scurry clan is?" Why would the heirs of the Scurry clan go to the nobles of the Skaven kingdom to become courtiers? ”
Zhang Jingxu nodded, and said with a smile: "This has to start with the migration of the Scurry clan, like the Skuli clan, a relatively powerful nezumi clan tribe, they often have conflicts with other surrounding countries, after all, the main buildings of the nezumi are concentrated underground, so the records of the subsidence of towns in history can basically be related to the nezuli, so no country or tribe would want a big pit to suddenly appear in their territory, and then their cities and people will fall." ”
"So most of the nezumi clan tribes will migrate every once in a while, but there are also some nezumi clan tribes who will choose to gain a foothold in some abandoned towns, after all, no one cares about these abandoned towns, and it is precisely because of this that the plague clan will choose to take root in Ruszia, the ruined capital of the Skaven Kingdom; Back to the point, the Skaven clan migrated to the Skaven kingdom a long time ago, and the Skaven kingdom suddenly fell seriously ill and died because the previous king did not establish a prince, so the Skaven kingdom was caught in a battle for the throne, and one of the princes took a fancy to the Skrly clan. ”
So, the prince made a pact with the Scurry clan that if the Scurry clan could help him become the new king of the Skaven kingdom, then the prince would give a piece of Skaven's territory to the Scurry clan as their permanent residence, and the Skaven kingdom would become a permanent offensive and defensive alliance with the Scurry clan; In addition, the nezumi of the Scurry clan can apply for various positions in the Skaven Kingdom, or they can go to the nobles of the Skaven Kingdom to seek courtier positions, and then obtain their own territory and noble titles. ”
"You should also know the result, that prince became the new king of the Skaven Kingdom with the support of the Scurry Clan, and soon fulfilled his promise to let the Scurry Clan establish a nezumi kingdom on the territory of the Skaven Kingdom, and many nezumi became officials and nobles of the Skaven Kingdom, especially the low-ranking heirs like the scum, they will choose to leave the Scurry Clan to seek a future in the Skaven Kingdom, As a result, the Scurry clan is now like a vassal of the Skaven Kingdom, but this vassal has a strong sense of autonomy. ”
"So is the Plague Clan really just the fighting force of the Scurry Clan? Do they really not use the plague? Ding Kun continued to ask.
Zhang Jingxu thought about it and said with some hesitation: "I only know a little about this, so I can't guarantee that what I said is right; Just like the scum told you, although the nezumi clan looks no different from an enlarged version of ordinary rats, they have nothing to do with those ordinary rats in essence, so the nezumi clan will be plagued by various diseases like us humans, and the plague will also cause extremely serious losses to the nezumi clan, so only a few nezumi clans and tribes have mastered the method of spreading the plague in history. ”
"As for the so-called plague clan, their predecessor is indeed a family in the Skuri clan that specializes in fighting, and the leader of this family is even the general of the Scurry clan, and he is also a famous figure in the Scurry clan, but because the magic level of the Scurry clan is very high, the Scurry clan has always respected magicians, and warriors of the same level will always be a head lower than magicians, which may be one of the reasons why that family converted to Bahamut; As for how that family was found to be a believer in Bahamut, the Scurry clan did not give a definitive answer. ”
"However, according to some gossip, the family met a Bahamut believer in a battle, and the Bahamut believer successfully rebelled against the leader of the family, and gave the family some support, so on a dark and windy night, the family launched a mutiny, and before leaving, they also ransacked many warehouses of the Scurry clan, and then fled to Ruth Zia to occupy the mountain overnight, and with the assistance of some undercover agents, The Scurry Clan did not attack the Plague Clan in the first place. ”
"But then again, there are now many Bahamut believers from other races in the Plague Clan, and many of them are indeed capable of spreading the plague, such as the undead such as ghouls who deal with all kinds of corpses all year round, or the snake people who are good at studying all kinds of poisons, and even those fishmen will spread a plague from the deep sea, which can make the humans it comes into contact with be covered with scales and die, in short, we must be prepared for the Plague Clan to live up to its name."
Hearing this, Liu Xing keenly caught a keyword undercover.
Liu Xing didn't have to think about it, he knew that the Plague Clan had still planted a lot of undercover agents in the Scurry Clan until now!
And these undercover agents are likely to become a roadblock for their group to complete the mission of Guangming City.
Looks like we're going to have to find a chance to find these goddamn undercover agents.
In addition, because Zhang Jingxu also believed that the plague clan was likely to really spread the plague, this also allowed Liu Xing and others to save the effort of persuading Zhang Jingxu.
To be honest, now that Liu Xing has completely treated Zhang Jingxu as an NPC, this feeling always makes Liu Xing feel a little weird.
Because Liu Xing and the others had already promised the scum that they would follow them to Jinfeng City tomorrow as guests, Zhang Jingxu was not in a hurry to arrange for Liu Xing and the others to set off for the capital of the Skaven Kingdom, anyway, now that the Skaven Kingdom is still in the early stage of war mobilization, Liu Xing and the others only need to meet King Skaven before the war starts.
But then again, Liu Xing and the others were very curious about how the emperor contacted Zhang Jingxu.
Is it Goo-Goo?
Only then did Liu Xing and the others notice that Gugu hadn't appeared for a long time.
It seems that in this world, the owl has taken on the role of a "carrier pigeon".
Obviously, this should be Zhang Jingxu influenced by a book with lightning on the head of a certain protagonist.
However, the name Goo always makes Liu Xing a little worried that it will "Goo Goo".
After Liu Xing and the others finished eating, they wandered around the village and didn't find anything noteworthy, so they went back to the inn to rest.
As for discussing it in private, Liu Xing and the others still felt that they would wait until tomorrow after they arrived at Jinfeng City.
Early the next morning, Liu Xing and the others saw the scum eating alone in the living room.
After chatting for a while, Liu Xing and the others learned that because the two Kewen brothers had already gone to several nearby villages to announce the conscription order, they set off overnight yesterday in order not to delay today's trip.
So an hour later, the two Cowen brothers returned to the living room with fairy faces.
Then, Liu Xing and the others got into the carriage prepared by the scum.
That's right, Liu Xing and others finally got into the carriage in this mod!
Because the relationship between the Skaven Kingdom and several nearby neighbors is not very good, the Skaven Kingdom has always retained a strong cavalry force as an ace, so the "Horse Riding Law" has no market in the Skaven Kingdom.
As a knight, Yin Eun hinted to the scum very decisively, and the scum also understood that he would give Yin Eun a good horse as a mount.
Because the speed of the carriage was much faster than that of the ox cart, Liu Xing and the others soon came to Jinfeng City and met the lord Covins, who had been waiting at the gate of the city for a long time.
Covance was clearly a warrior by training, as he was tall and wore a full-body iron armor and carried a giant sword nearly half a meter wide and two meters long behind his back.
It seems that Cowens should also participate in this war.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing and the others exchanged glances and reached a consensus that they must brush Cowens' favorability!
Liu Xing and the others know very well that the role of their party in the next war will be greatly weakened, after all, there are tens of thousands of NPCs involved in the war, and it is very unrealistic to rely on a few people to decide the trend of a war.
Unless your own group can do it, every judgment is a big success.
More importantly, Liu Xing and others are very clear about the identity of their group.
For the Skaven Kingdom, his group is still an outsider after all, and at most it can be regarded as a relatively high-level reinforcement.
But the reinforcements must have the appearance of reinforcements, and the dominance of the war must be in the hands of the Skaven Kingdom.
Therefore, Liu Xing and the others can at most become a staff officer and provide military advice to King Skaven, and in the end, it must be up to King Skaven and his courtiers to decide how to fight.
Judging from the current situation, the current King Skaven should be a stubborn and self-serving person, so Liu Xing and the others all think that the military advice provided by their party is likely to be vetoed by King Skaven.
After all, this is the state affairs of the Skaven Kingdom, how can foreigners be allowed to meddle at will?
Therefore, Liu Xing and the others all felt that it was necessary for their party to find a suitable spokesperson in the Skaven Kingdom, and influence King Skaven's decision-making through this spokesperson, after all, if King Skaven was really allowed to fight by his own mind, then this war would definitely be lost.
The Cthulhu Run lobby doesn't give players a chance to lie down and win.
And now, Liu Xing and others have a very good first impression of Covens, and feel that Covens should be able to become the spokesperson for his group in front of King Skaven.
First of all, if nothing else, Covance should become a leader in the counterinsurgency army, and the troops he leads will be his subjects, which means that Covance has strong control over his troops and will not be subject to too many restrictions, which means that Covance has the right to "be outside, and the military order is not subject to it".
Moreover, judging from Cowens' current "appearance", he should also be a warrior with extremely strong strength, and his title has also reached the second level of marquis, so it can be inferred that Covens should have a certain prestige in the army of the Skaven Kingdom, and Liu Xing and others will have the opportunity to do things with the help of Covens's name.
Last but not least, Covance maintained enough respect for his group to personally come outside the city to greet him.
You must know that the "brave" status of Liu Xing and others is actually quite embarrassing, because in a strict sense, "brave" is a temporary worker, which cannot be regarded as a real official position, and does not have any substantive rights, so the title of "brave" is just an honorary identity.
What's more, the "brave" status of Liu Xing and his party was only granted by the empire, so if it weren't for the fact that the empire still had a certain prestige on this continent, and Bahamut was also a big scourge of the mainland, otherwise other countries would not recognize the "brave" status of Liu Xing and his party at all, and would not provide all kinds of conveniences for Liu Xing and his party.
Therefore, to sum up, the title of "Brave" of Liu Xing and his party is not as effective as imagined, especially in the face of a high-ranking nobleman like Covens in the Skaven Kingdom.
Therefore, in Liu Xing and the others' initial speculation, it would be good if Covance could send someone to greet his group, if Covance sent his cronies or relatives, then Liu Xing and others felt that they could consider developing Covance as the spokesperson for their group.
And now, Covance personally came to greet Liu Xing and his party, which made Liu Xing and others have labeled Covance as "you must belong" in their hearts.
