Chapter 18: The Death of Herder
For two days and one night, Huddle ran farther and farther with a large group of goblins behind him. Finally, in the middle of a flat meadow, Huddle stopped.
If it's so far away, that little girl won't be found again. After that, I can't protect her, I can only hope that she will be discovered by other humans.
The first person has been rescued, so let me rescue the rest. Turning, Huddle looked at the chasing brigade behind him.
"You call the Great Elder here, I am willing to sacrifice my life according to the laws of the clan." Calmly, Hurd told the pursuers behind him his will to die.
"You see, the human he was holding is gone, and he must have wanted to stay and stall for time. so that the human can escape. β
"He's definitely no longer able to run, now we can kill him."
The already noisy goblin team was even more noisy at this time, and the goblins in the team talked about Hurdle's thoughts, but none of the goblins chose to believe his words.
A large number of spears were thrown, and Hurdl easily bounced away with his strength; Ice needles and fireballs roared, striking Hurd's metal armor without causing any damage. But despite this, the goblins are tirelessly attacking.
"I really just want to say a few words to the Great Elder, and you don't agree to such a simple request?" Looking at his former compatriots in pain, but now they all wish to die immediately, even his own small wishes are considered to be delaying time, and Heder's heart seems to have been shattered.
The goblin gunners were quickly in place, aiming their huge muzzles at Hurdl and firing their guns without hesitation.
The huge cannonball smashed Hedr backwards, and the explosive powder left a charred black on his chest. However, despite the look of embarrassment, Huddle was unharmed.
"He looks like he's become very powerful, and if we can bring him back and study it thoroughly, our tribe will definitely become very powerful." Because Hedr didn't fight back other than to protect himself, this made the goblins emboldened and attacked unscrupulously.
Sensing that this would not achieve his goal, Hurdl took a deep breath and slammed his fists into the ground, sending a powerful wave of qi swept out, blowing a large number of goblins away, and many being thrown out and slightly injured.
Sensing that their attacks were ineffective, the goblins finally began to contact the camp's personnel. However, in the middle of the words, the meaning changed a lot.
"Did you hear that? The traitor stayed behind to cover the human who had destroyed the altar, and he also named the Great Elder to see him. β
"Did you hear that? The traitor sent the human away and specified to see the Great Elder. β
"Did you hear that? That traitor not only sent the human away before our noses, but also arrogantly wanted to fight the Great Elder. β
"Did you hear that? The traitor sent the human away and stayed where he was, trying to kill the Great Elder. β
Rumors, when Hurdl wanted to see the Great Elder's words reach the camp, it became "That traitor is not only completely ashamed of what he has done, but also threatens to kill the Great Elder and rob the Goblin Elder of the throne." β
The Great Elder who got the news was of course very indignant, and after scolding Hedr for his rebellion, he led the elite of the entire clan to Heder's location.
This back and forth was 4 days, and during these 4 days, he faced a rain of ice blades and fire, spears and sticks every day, and even though he had become a cyborg body, he felt the weakness of his body, but he never killed a goblin from beginning to end.
On this day, the wind was strong and the rain was pouring down, and Herder finally waited for a brigade to come from afar. At this time, he still insisted on fighting for five days.
"I really just want to have a few words with the Grand Elder," Huddle shouted to the group that had come as he used all his strength.
"You're trying to sneak up and kill the Great Elder while you're talking and then take over the camp, don't think we're all kept in the pot by you. We've seen through your little thoughts. "It was the former leader goblin who spoke, and he was also brought by the Great Elder.
"Why, can't I just say a few words to the Great Elder?" Indignant, Huddle shouted at the team. "I just wanted to say a few words to you, Great Elder, I know you're in there."
"Well, I'm here, and since I'm here, you can say it." A voice came from the goblin horde, and it was the voice of the Great Goblin Elder. It seems that although he doesn't know how strong Hedr is, he still clearly knows that he can't defeat the other party at this time, so he hides in the goblin group.
For a while, Huddle didn't know what to say, he didn't expect that the great elder who was full of majesty in the past would actually be at this time. Cowardly?
After sorting out his words a little, Huddle said to the crowd: "I still hope that the Great Elder will give up on the conquest of human society, there are many people who are as weak as our children, and our invasion will only bring more blood and casualties, and more people will lose their homeland." Huddle expressed his thoughts in a passionate voice.
However, the other party did not appreciate it. "Ridiculous naΓ―ve idea, if you don't invade them, they will definitely invade our homeland in the future, if they wait for their arrival, it is better for us to take the initiative." Speaking at this time, the face of the Great Elder of the Goblin Group couldn't help but overflow with a smile, "You can imagine that if you follow us to conquer the continent, you can have countless riches and endless rich land, and as for the kind of little girl you fancie, you can have as much as you want." There are even more mature and beautiful human women for you to play with... β
"Shut up!" Hurdle rudely interrupted the Great Elder's words, "I just want my homeland not to be requisitioned, why do I have to fight and kill, isn't it good for everyone to get along peacefully?" β
"This traitor's wish is really great~big~." The goblin in the lead jumped out again at this point, sarcastically. Got the approval of all the goblins.
Heder, who had been enduring for many days, finally couldn't bear it anymore at this time, and a blue laser erupted from his hand, piercing the head of the leading goblin. I saw that the smile of the leading goblin who was still laughing slowly became sluggish, and before he died, he couldn't figure out why the other party, who had been besieged by everyone for many days but had not killed a single person, suddenly became a killer, with doubtful thoughts, he lost consciousness, and there was still a trace of a strange smile on his corpse that had not faded.
"Protect me!" As if subconsciously, the Great Goblin Elder suddenly shouted, and the goblins, who were originally a little chaotic, suddenly found their mission and surrounded him, but his position was also exposed to Hurd's sight.
A wave of air erupted from under his legs, and Hedr quickly approached the Great Elder. Just as the Great Elder was about to scream in fear, Hurdl suddenly fell to his knees.
"I have never regretted being a member of the tribe, but I really don't want the tribe to become the kind of evil person who invades others, but I have advised you many times to the Great Elder to no avail. In this case, I will have to destroy the key to my own mechanical army. I didn't betray the tribe's heart, and I hope I can atone for my sins with death. β
"Don't! We can also talk slowly, we can give you a lot of land, or give you the status of the second elder, as long as you can join us, we don't think we will mind this matter. The Great Elder, who suddenly remembered the other party's other identity, heard a hint of something bad from Heder's words, and hurriedly stopped it. However, it was too late.
"Sinner Huder, hiding the captives, letting the captives go, killing his kind, deserving the death penalty, what you owe to the tribe is returned to the tribe today" said as he raised his arm and slapped it towards his head,
After a pop like a watermelon, Herder's figure, which had not fallen for several days, finally fell.
"Qi, it's really unlucky, how can the only thing that succeed is such a waste, it's really a waste." Realizing that Huddle was dead, the Great Elder finally broke away from the crowd and kicked the useless corpse in front of him, and said angrily. "We're going back, it's been so long, we have to hurry up and make the next plans."
With an order, the goblin army slowly retreated. The headless corpse was left in place.
