Chapter Fifty-Eight: Hogg
In the Dulu Basin, inside a newly dug cavern by the orcs.
"Do you really believe them? Lord Caesar. ”
The old leader Sifu found the black dragon with doubts, and although he had not accompanied Caesar to meet the defectors before, as the leader of the tribe, he could still know all the details of what had happened in the mouths of other orcs.
"What's the difference between believing it and not believing it?"
The black dragon smiled: "Of course, these guys can really go to war with the human army, and they can also cheat and cheat, but what they do has no effect on us. ”
"The reason for letting them out is just to spread smoke and consume Roy's power by the way."
Caesar said bluntly: "You have also seen that humans are staring at the Duru Basin very hard these days, and it is almost impossible for the orcs to withdraw silently. ”
"Ahem......"
Sifu's cough made the black dragon frown, but he didn't expect that after a few days of rest, the old wizard's state didn't seem to improve, which was not good news.
The old orc hunched over and coughed for a while, then gently broke away from Gal's support, and then spoke: "What do you mean?" ”
"Put pressure on the humans first, and then transfer them in batches."
The black dragon twisted his neck, and the little guy was tickling him from behind: "To tell you the truth, I have some thoughts about the Gnoll clan, and their leader is very good. In addition, I heard that kobolds are very talented in mining minerals, and they may be able to play a role in the future. ”
"If these guys can get the job done and swear allegiance, I'd be happy to have them all in my pocket."
Caesar said, his voice gradually becoming lower: "However, you don't have to think about it to know that they were sent in by Roy on purpose. ”
"Gal."
The black dragon looked at the orc commander who came with the old wizard and stood aside: "I need your help, please go and catch a few captives and come back, I want to know what kind of calculations the damned humans are up to." ”
"Understood." Gal immediately responded with an urn of gas.
"Wait."
Sifu stopped Gar, who was about to leave, first said goodbye to the black dragon, and then slowly walked to the big orc: "In this case, let you put the things here first." ”
Caesar saw that the old wizard took a rolled sheepskin from his old robe, handed it to Gal, and left with the orcs who were about to go on a mission, still whispering something in his mouth.
But since he didn't deliberately mention it to him, Caesar didn't want to ask more, this guy was thinking about other things.
He felt a little uneasy in his heart, and for the first time he felt the hesitation that things were out of control, and reason told him that Roy was playing a big game of chess, and for safety, he should evacuate the wilderness as soon as possible.
However, the greed in his bones made the black dragon unwilling, and he wanted to strengthen his power first, and after completing the subduing of the jackals and kobolds, he would migrate and transfer.
It's a bit of a contradiction.
Caesar grinded his teeth, the tips of his claws tapping lightly against the sandstone floor, undecided.
After thinking about it for a while, this guy finally chose a compromise plan, since he had been waiting for the wizard's recovery for so long, and it was not too short of a day or two, Caesar decided to wait until he caught the human captive and asked what was going on, and then make a judgment based on the actual situation.
…………
"Stop."
Less than a kilometer from the edge of the Duru Basin, Hogg led his gnoll tribe to a halt, the unspeakably strong gnoll leader smashing his mouth, settling down on the trunk of a fallen tree and setting aside his weapon, an exaggeratedly short-handled axe.
"You, you, you...... Come all over. ”
Hogg pointed out the more intelligent gnolls in several tribes and motioned for them to come close to him: "Hear clearly, this area is monitored by humans, and you will each lead the people and leave from different directions, and we will meet again when the time comes." ”
"Great Chief, do we really want to listen to that dragon and kill those humans? Those guys don't look easy to mess with, they look like the elite army of the northern countries. ”
Although the intelligence of the gnolls is not particularly high, it is much better than the orcs with one tendon, at least they know how to take advantage and avoid disadvantage, and know how to judge the strength of their opponents.
However, it is not good to say, and it is precisely because of this wisdom that when facing more powerful enemies, the gnolls will have the same fear of difficulties as higher creatures, which will affect the will to fight.
"I know, humans are strong."
Hogg whispered, "But what can be done?" ”
The current situation is no longer than it was back then, there was an ambitious Roy in the wilderness, and the young human resources and weapons were not lacking, and soon many races in the wilderness had to be succumbed, and before that, this human even wanted to integrate all the forces in this area.
The Gnoll Clan had thought about resisting before, but due to the situation, they had to show weakness to the other party in the end.
However, just when they thought they had to accept this fate, things took a turn for the better, and in this place, a black dragon was born.
If he had to choose between humans and true dragons, Hogg would of course prefer to go to dragons.
However, he also knew that things were not as simple as ordinary gnolls took for granted.
These evil races, unlike those righteous people, can form alliances with each other and risk their lives with a hot brain, and it is very difficult for evil species to establish a relationship of trust between them, and the black dragon has a very obvious and serious wariness against them.
Therefore, the jackal needs to prove himself, and the black dragon needs a meeting gift and a certificate of nomination.
Hogg knew that this was a thankless task for the tribe, but in order to have a reliable and stable reliance, they had to do it even if they closed their eyes and gritted their teeth.
"Get ready to go."
Thinking about it, Hogg had already made up his mind, and the blade of the short heavy axe shone brightly: "Separate here, then meet under the hump, be careful, let the coyote find the way, watch out for the traps and tails along the way." ”
"Oh, yes."
The huge gnolll slowly stood up, and the shadows in the sunlight crept out of the shade: "Go and keep an eye on those kobolds, it's a fairly safe job, first come, first served." ”
"If they give up on the mission, forget it."
Without waiting for his men to ask, Hogg continued, his voice somewhat similar to that of the black dragon, and also full of gloomy cruelty: "But if they are also ambushing humans, then you must keep an eye on these miscellaneous pieces and keep them to me." ”
These cowardly and lowly wastes are not qualified to be the dependents of His Majesty, and they are not qualified to seize the resources we deserve, and even if they are really harvested, they will become our spoils of war. ”
Hogg picked up his weapon, shook it with his paws, and stepped forward: "Kobold? Oh, they only deserve to play the role of drama clowns, picking up scraps in the garbage heap and begging for food. ”
