Chapter 032: Sacrifice and Friendship

Not everyone is comfortable with death, and this is especially true for goblins. But Black Scar has practiced what bravery is with his life, and it has taught Eternal Dark Moon that goblins are not all cowardly cowards, and that there are no shortage of true warriors.

Although Rostanford is full of respect for Black Scar at this moment, and this is indeed a respectable opponent, this operation, at least cannot be regarded as a success.

What they want is to capture Black Scar alive and use it as a bargaining chip in exchange for prisoners.

But now, he actually chose to kill himself.

No matter how high the status of Blackscar was in the Greenskin Tribe during his lifetime, but after death it is a corpse, will the enemy exchange the corpse for a captive? The answer is that at least one corpse can't get back all eight captives. Moreover, the sudden attack of the Eternal Night killed the Black Scar, and the Greenskin Tribe was bound to be enraged.

What will the Greenskins do next? Is it to kill the captives to vent their anger? Is it to wage a war of revenge? Or endure this humiliation and stand still?

With Rostanford's understanding of the Greenskins, killing prisoners and declaring war is the most likely choice for the other side to make next.

Regardless, the encounter was a resounding victory. Although it failed to capture Black Scar alive, it died in front of Rostanford after all, and it was undoubtedly a brilliant battle feat to kill the enemy chieftain.

The Greenskin tribes have also suffered heavy losses, and for at least 3 years, they will not have a qualified shaman to preside over the rituals. For the top of the Greenskin tribe, whose decision-making is quite dependent on sacrificial activities, it is a huge loss that cannot be made to make a convincing decision for three years.

Difficult to make up but not irreparable, and qualified shamans can also be replaced by substitutes, these losses are only painful, but by no means unacceptable. Compared with the death of Black Scar, the death of the Hydra Three-Headed Snake really made the Greenskin tribe feel heartache.

According to Rostanford's information, 11 years ago, the Greenskins were found to have obtained two eggs while exploring the cave of behemoths, one of which gave birth to the Hydra Tribal.

When the Hydra Trillus had grown up, the tribe's decision-makers decided to start cultivating it, with Blackscar being the main keeper.

At that time, the tribe lacked food, and Black Scar, as a shaman, had the power to sacrifice the lives of his people. In the name of sacrifice, it fed Hydra with the bodies of countless green-skinned goblins, feeding Hydra for ten years, eventually helping it grow into such a behemoth.

It is the strongest combat power of the Greenskin Tribe, and it is the largest capital of the tribe standing proudly in the Forest of Turin, and its value is simply immeasurable.

The killing of the Hydra Trillus in this operation was equivalent to cutting off one of the Greenskins' arms.

This is an unacceptable loss.

In this way, the balance of power between the Eternal Dark Moon and the Greenskin Tribe has completely approached equilibrium.

The joy of victory excited Rostanford, but he immediately calmed down, and he remembered the true hero of the battle, the Golden Wings.

At this time, the golden wings were already covered in bruises, and half of their feathers had fallen off. You can see that its neck and wings are covered with scars, some deep and some shallow, the shallow ones are only torn off some flesh, and the deep ones can see the broken bones through the flesh!

The Golden Wings wailed, coughing up blood desperately, and there was a faint hint of green in the blood they coughed up! This is clearly a symptom of poisoning.

Rostanford soon found the cause: during the fight with Hydra, the Golden Wings were splashed with poisonous blood from the other party, resulting in a secondary infection.

"What about the doctor? Call the doctor! ”

Rostanford yelled at the soldiers around him, even splashing foam in their faces, but no one answered.

He came to his senses and bowed his head in frustration.

There are doctors in the Eternal Dark Moon, but those doctors' fields of medicine are limited to saving people. In the face of such an adult griffin, it lost too much blood and was poisoned by the almost incurable black widow, not to mention them, even if they searched the entire country of Savoy, they could not find a doctor who could cure such a serious injury.

Goldwings looked at their master, a gentle look in their eyes for the first time. It opened its mouth as if smiling, then turned its head away to avoid the poisonous blood it coughed up from splashing on those around it.

"I'm sorry, I..."

Goldwing shook its head and let out a few low roars, interrupting Rostanford, who seemed to have something to say as well.

Rostanford looked sadly at his companion and listened to its last words.

Goldwings roared and said:

"Master, I feel honored!"

It finished and closed its eyes serenely.

Rostanford closed his eyes in pain, but tears flowed uncontrollably! He remembered when he picked up the egg, and after a long period of magical recuperation, the golden wings burst out of its shell, like a chick, chirping at him...

It eats meat for the first time, and it walks on its own for the first time, it hunts for the first time, and it eats for the first time... Spread your wings and fly.

The first part of his past life was like a silent film in his mind, he had grown up watching the golden wings, and from now on, these would only be memories.

He wiped away his tears, gave up his dignity as a Drow, and joined his soldiers... Get down on one knee and see off the heroes of the Eternal Dark Moon with the most solemn ritual ever handed down from the pure-blood goblins!

Looking at the golden wings bathed in the raging fire, the little Lori Belia who was held in her arms was thoughtful, she raised her head, looked at Gao Duos, and asked softly:

"Is this what adults call friendship?"

Gao Duos was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The Hydra Trilla can sacrifice her life for Black Scar, the Golden Wings can go to Rostanford, and maybe one day, when she encounters danger, Spider will risk her life to save herself.

Is this the friendship of the continent of Acacia? Friendship practiced with life?

Gao Duos nodded, shook his head again, and said:

"It is indeed a great friendship, worthy of being sung by the minstrels, so that this touching story may be known to the world. But I don't want the same thing to happen to me.

No matter what kind of friendship, we must try our best to avoid sacrifice, and of course, if it cannot be avoided, we must also face it calmly like the golden wings. ”

"No matter what kind of friendship, we must try to avoid sacrifice, and if we can't avoid it, we should also be calm... Confront? Belia repeated this sentence, feeling that it seemed to contain a life truth that she seemed to understand.

Rostanford walked over and said, "Thank you for your help." ”

Gao Duo shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I should say I'm sorry, after all, it's the poison of Spider Ji, which indirectly caused your partner's infection..."

Rostanford patted Gadors on the shoulder and said, "You shouldn't blame yourself, I know very well that the Golden Wings are no match for the Hydra Three-Headed Snake." If it weren't for your pet's help, not only would Hydra not die, but the Golden Wings would have been a worthless sacrifice. ”

He paused, stretched out his hand, and said, "Can you get acquainted with it again?" My name is Rostanford. Night Song, Profession, Drow Ranger. ”

Gao Duo was stunned for a moment, looked at Rostanford's serious expression, held his hand, and said, "Gao Duosi. Rodriguez, profession, necromancer. ”

The two hands were clasped tightly together, this was the third friend of Gaudus on the continent of Acacia.

Gao Duos let go of his hand, looked at the golden wings that were gradually turning to ashes in the flames, and said, "I think you will be in big trouble soon. ”

Rostanford glanced at Gordos and asked, "What's the trouble?" ”

"Although you killed Blackscar and Hydra Three-Headed Snake, you also sacrificed the Golden Wings, and when you return to the Horde, I'm afraid someone will impeach you."

Rostanford smiled and said, "That's true, but I can't escape, I am mainly responsible for the sacrifice of the Golden Wings, and I will accept the punishment." ”

Gaudus looked at the strong man, sighed, and said, "I think we still have a remedy. ”

Rostanford's eyes lit up and he said, "A remedy?" What method? ”

Gao Duos walked to the body of Black Scar, searched carefully, and then found a necklace [Dogtooth Necklace], the effect is [Perception +2], a piece of clothing [Skeleton Robe], the effect is [Slightly increase the spell effect of casting speed, mana regeneration and earth-based magic], a whistle [Hydra's Summon] polished from the bones of Warcraft, the effect is to blow the whistle [Call your pet, and attach the "Cheer" status to it, the effect is "slightly increase attack speed" for 1 minute].

He handed the loot to Rostanford's hand and said, "I think that although Black Scar is dead, these equipment are also very precious as a standard configuration of a great shaman. In addition, there is his corpse, he is one of the few goblins who dares to face death, so his corpse should also have strong political significance. Using these things as bargaining chips, you may be able to exchange them for some captives. ”

Rostanford nodded and sighed: "It's a pity that the three-headed snake is contaminated with poison, otherwise some of its organs can be removed, and it can also be used as bargaining chips in exchange." ”

"I have a request, and I hope you will grant it."

"Don't say the word 'please', don't forget, we're friends. As long as it doesn't harm the interests of the tribe, I will definitely help you with things that are within my ability. ”

Gaudus swept his gaze to the corpse of the Hydra Three-Headed Serpent and said, "My little spider is hungry, it needs food, how about that corpse be handed over to me?" ”

Rostanford nodded without hesitation, and said, "I'll leave it all to you, I'll go back to the tribe to report on my work, if you want to talk to me, then take this signal arrow, come to the skull tree where we first met, and I'll show you to visit the underground world of our Eternal Dark Moon." ”

Gaudus took the signal arrow, a little moved, the underground world is the biggest secret of the Eternal Dark Moon, but now he is willing to tell himself, it should be out of the trust between friends.

He waved his hand and said, "Goodbye." ”

"Goodbye."
