Chapter 291: Hogg
Somewhere in the Tuhala Desert, the wind howling with the yellow sand and the visibility was so low that even the most experienced soldiers could hardly spot the creature hiding in the sandβa troop of war lizardmen.
This location is the outermost line of defense in the Tuhala Desert, now the Northern Empire, where the Blackwing King's soldiers patrol and set up sentry posts, and the salamanders listen carefully to the subtle movements of the hidden howls of the wind, monitoring every movement that may occur.
It's not that they're too nervous, it's that now that the Northland is overwhelmed by black clouds and rains, and the border is full of five-colored dragons and dragon servants, invading the Northland border from time to time, causing one riot after another, as one of the strongholds of the border guards, they must maintain the highest degree of vigilance.
The sound of the flow of rustling sounded, and the thing fell into the yellow sand.
The lizardman guard jerked back, the tip of the spear arcing, and the fine fangs bared out of their mouths.
Soon, they relented again, because they saw the gnolls who were also one of the Blackwing clans appear, different races, and the lizardmen could not recognize the difference between the gnolls, but they still recognized the head in front of them, it was the big leader of the gnolls, and the current highest-ranking clan leader of the Blackwing Lair - Hogg.
"Your Excellency." The lizardmen could not make many facial expressions, but they could barely squeeze out a smile at this moment.
"Hmm."
Hogg answered, the gnoll is not an approachable creature in the first place, and Hogg who has been endowed with dragon veins and radiation deformities is even more so, in addition to maintaining humility in front of the Black Dragon Emperor, the entire Blackwing Royal Court is probably only in front of Luna, this terrifying-looking jackal will become softer.
"How many of you are there?" The tall, strong gnoll leader looked down at the guards and asked.
The warlizard who was questioned thought for a moment, glanced at the other companions who were swimming around, and whispered, "Probably, about a hundred?" "Its words are full of uncertainty, and the lizardmen are not intelligent and sensitive to numbers.
"Leave twenty people to patrol and guard, and the rest will come with me."
Hogg said unceremoniously, and continued to walk forward, as if intending to leave the Northland border defenses.
"But, sir."
The little leader hesitated and said, "According to the order of our clan leader, our people should take turns to rest, maintain the highest vigilance, and keep a constant watch over this area, leaving only twenty people......
Hogg stopped, turned his head, and stared coldly at the ragged lizardmen, without speaking.
The lizardmen are dragonborn, and belong to the leader of the flying dragons, Erha, but even Erha must obey Hogg's orders with the tacit permission of the Black Dragon Emperor.
After a brief pause, a breath, the little leader sneered and led the other guards to follow the gnolls.
Hogg left the station with a team of gnolls and a team of war lizardmen, before this, the terrain map of the northern lands had been memorized in his mind, and now it all appeared-"From the third station to the border to the south, although it is still a desert terrain, the desert in this area is no longer under the control of the Blackwing Royal Court, but the evil dragons surrounding it have not nested here, this place is a buffer zone for the confrontation between the two sides, and further south, you will really enter the danger zone." β
At this moment, the two groups of clans he led are fully armed, although the war lizardmen look ragged, but in fact, the vital parts are covered with armor, and the same is true for the gnolls, the vitality of these clans is quite tenacious, as long as they do not hurt the vital points, they can continue to fight even if they cut off one hand.
At the same time, they also carry a certain amount of food and water in their waist pockets, allowing them to carry out short-term non-replenishment operations.
Hogg brought a weapon, because he might encounter a fight, and held the [Asaac Thirst for Blood] given by the Black Dragon Emperor in his hand, because the surface was wrapped in a layer of brown cloth and had never been used, the magic aura of the legendary weapon was not vigorous, but it only vibrated into bursts of ripples, wrapped around the gnoll's thick and sharp right claw.
It's an adventure.
Due to the lack of intelligence, Caesar had to conduct a series of detailed surveys of the outer enemies, and it was not easy to pick out the right people for this task, the opponents were all powerful true dragons, and the weak Blackwing clan could not find out the core information, and the clan leaders like Nero and Erha, the limited level of intelligence could not enable them to complete such a difficult reconnaissance mission.
Eventually, Hogg volunteered to go, and Caesar didn't think much of it, and let him go after instructing his most capable man to take precautions.
Hogg was still relieved that Caesar had been able to do so, at least not so far.
Upon entering an unfamiliar outside area, the two sides quickly came into contact.
Like the patrolling guards on the borders of the Northern Empire, when Hogg entered the sphere of influence of a colored dragon, he quickly met with the opposing scouts.
In the hills, several half-drakes crouched under the roots of trees, not knowing what they were talking to, and when they spotted outsiders, the lizardmen were almost lurking in front of them.
The half-dragon man took a sharp breath and shouted in the dragon language that the jackals knew nothing, "There is-"
Hogg's whistling claws tore the air into his throat, and the shouts behind him turned into leaking air, splattering out with blood foam, and the swift gnolls roared closer, his left claw cut his neck, and the half-dragonman's neck was immediately cut, and his body floated in the air slightly, and the blood fountain made a sizzling sound, spewing out two meters high.
It was the best and fastest way to kill a half-dragon, he remembered.
"What's ......?"
The other half-dragon man brushed aside the dense foliage of the hills, tossed the berries in his arms, raised his weapon with one hand, and his pupils immediately shrank as soon as he reached the halfway point of the vigilant instinctive question.
Seeing the tall gnolls turn around, the half-dragon guard was about to warn him like his companions, but before he could make a move, the sharp blade had already pierced his chest.
The lizardmen are also on the move, and they are not inefficient.
But even after suffering a heavy blow, this half-dragon man did not die immediately, all the dragonborn, to ordinary creatures, are freaks with surprisingly strong vitality, it twisted and swung its slender right arm, and the dagger pierced into the shoulder blade of the sneaking attack lizardman, the powerful force made the dragon man short on the spot, and at the same time, the left arm tore open its face, and green blood splattered everywhere.
Fierce and cruel, the two dragons twisted into each other, until the other two lizardmen joined in to tear the scout apart.
Hogg watched this scene coldly, stood in place, waited for the scene to be completely quiet, and fluttered his nose when the wind was right, in addition to the smell of blood in the air, the Jackal's extraordinary sense of smell gave him more information, and the leader of the Jackal smelled a faint sour smell like rotten eggs, mixed with a sour smell of burnt.
"The smell of sulfur and volcanoes."
Hogg looked at the mutilated corpses on the ground and whispered, "This is the territory of a red dragon. β
In the rough report given by the reconnaissance team before, among the color dragons who followed the oracle of the Mother of Evil Dragons to crusade against the Black Dragon Emperor, there were not many red dragons, and only two were found for the time being.
As soon as Hogg entered the area, he ran into one of them, and seemed to be lucky.
