Chapter Twenty-Three: Hogg has a special skill in persuasion
However, Hank still refused to give up, and he still proposed to Hogg, "As long as the Riverpaw Clan can help us repel the orcs, we residents of the Wild West will become loyal allies of the Riverpaw Clan, isn't that okay?" ”
Hogg interrupted Hank's words very unceremoniously, waved his hand and said, "This is impossible, it is impossible for me to agree to such insincere conditions, the gnolls do not need so-called allies, you have to join us if you want to get the protection of the gnolls." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "Hogg's idea is clear, the humans of the Western Wilderness must become vassals of the gnolls, it does not consider humans to be opponents of the rivergua clan, and for the gnolls, there is not much difference between fighting orcs and fighting humans.
White saw that the anger between the brother-in-law and Hogg was getting bigger and bigger, so he stepped forward and began to dissuade the two, but he was unexpectedly pushed away by Hank, and sat on the ground with his ass, and the two security guards behind Hank thought it was the hand of the jackal who moved first, so they pulled out the long sword on their waists, and slashed at Hogg with a sword, Hank hurriedly shouted to stop, and drew his sword to frame one person, and the other person was punched away by Hogg, in fact, Hogg knew that it was just a misunderstanding, so his men showed mercy and did not use much force.
However, what Hogg didn't expect was that the sound of the battle in the cemetery alarmed Captain Solomon and his party who were in ambush outside, and as a result, more than two dozen heavily armed Stormwind guards rushed out from the outside, which didn't seem to be a misunderstanding.
Hogg saw that the human race had been planning for a long time, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Where did the trust between humans and the gnolls go? However, the claw was not slow, and he grabbed Hank, who was stunned by the sudden change, took him hostage, and then roared unusually fiercely: "Since you are unwilling to negotiate well and use this kind of indiscriminate means, then let's see whose means are powerful." ”
After speaking, Hogg then lifted his black hooded robe with his empty right paw, and threw the black robe into the sky, taking advantage of the fact that the human beings were attracted by the heavenly robes, Hogg's shadow on the ground because of the double moon in the middle of the sky quickly became larger, instantly enveloping everyone present, and then from the shadow stretched out dense black tentacles, wrapping everyone except Hogg to the death, seeing that everyone present was already controlled, Hogg smiled fiercely, He asked the humans, who were completely immobile, "Now tell me who has the final say?" ”
However, it seems that no one has answered Hogg's question, because these people have been intimidated by the black tentacles tightly wrapped around their bodies, which, in addition to their great strength, can also have a great deterrent effect on targets with low mental and intellectual strength, and these tentacles from the Old Gods are not in themselves something that mortals can fight against.
Hogg shook his head vigorously, throwing out the idea of a massacre in the western wilderness, and then decided to use a little mind control to brainwash these ignorant humans into devout followers of the old gods, and this is also the job of Hogg's current professional sacrifice of the old gods, so that the transformed humans will no longer have great hostility towards the gnolls as they are now, but will regard Hogg as their master, but the transformation process will cause damage to the sanity (SAN value) of these humans to a certain extent, Some of the weaker could even be turned into Shadowmon as a result, which Hogg didn't want to use, but the temptation to settle all disputes once and for all shamefully gave up on his principles (the Gnolls are such unprincipled creatures).
Soon, Hogg had nearly thirty more obedient humans under his command, but after transforming these humans, Hogg got bad news, White's wife and Hank's sister Skyler was also here just now, and it is very likely that Hogg has witnessed what Hogg has done to these humans, and what's worse is that Skyler has now fled to Mooncreek Town, if this woman is allowed to tell everything she knows and let the entire Western Wilderness know, then I'm afraid Hogg will really have to carry out a massacre in the Western Wilderness.
However, Hogg thought about it and felt that there was no need to worry too much, probably no one would believe this woman's words, it thought about it and just called Captain Solomon, Hank, and White, and taught them how to play a good play, so that Hogg could wipe out the people of Mooncreek Town, and after speaking, Hogg went into a stealth state and hid.
Speaking of Skyler, she witnessed Hogg wrap his shadow tentacles around everyone, including her husband and brother, and then brainwash them one by one, she could only cover her mouth with all her strength so that she didn't make a sound, and then she retreated little by little, tiptoe gently out of the cemetery, and then quickly ran into the town of Moon Creek, ran to the mayor's house, knocked on the door hard, the mayor of Elgardine was not asleep, opened the door and saw Skyler standing at the door of his house, so he quickly asked: "What's wrong, Didn't you go with Captain Solomon to catch the gnolls? How can a person run back like this? Solomon, what happened to them? ”
Hearing the mayor's gentle voice, Skyler collapsed all of a sudden, fell to the ground and couldn't cry, seeing that Skyler had no way to speak at all, the mayor had no choice but to shake his head, turned around and called his wife, asked his wife to help Skyler up and sit at the dining table, and then closed the door himself, under the gentle persuasion of the mayor's wife, Skyler finally relieved, she said helplessly to the mayor: "That jackal is a monster, Captain Solomon they have surrounded it at the beginning, but I don't know what kind of demon magic it is, They were all caught by the hand of the monster that came out of the ground, and then the monster started to do something to them, and I saw that White was also caught by the monster, and Hank, but I couldn't do anything, I had to run away, and that was a monster ....... ”
At this moment, someone gently knocked on the door of the mayor's house, and Skyler was immediately frightened: "It's that monster, it's coming!" But then Hank's voice came from the door: "It's me, Mr. Mayor, have you seen my sister?" She seemed to have been frightened by the gnoll just now, and she ran away without a trace. ”
"No, Mr. Mayor, don't open the door, it's not Hank, he was caught by that monster, and it's that monster standing in the doorway now!" Skyler pleaded with Mayor Elgardine in fear, but the mayor still gently opened the door and glanced at it, only to see that it was Hank standing at the door, and for safety reasons, Mayor Elgardin still asked Hank: "I need to make sure that you are Hank, do you remember what gift I gave you on your sixteenth birthday?" ”
