Chapter 619: Lord of Darkness, I Will Not Let You Down (1/3)
Withered Plains.
Gratu, the leader of the Iron Dust tribe, returned to the lair with his warriors, and when he set out, his heart was full of joy and his warriors were in high spirits.
But when he returned, Gratu had a thought in his heart: 'What the dark coalition forces, what sweep the invaders' outposts, has nothing to do with me!' ’
Because he found out that he was the weakest of the coalition forces, and if he participated in this coalition army, his tribe might be forced by others to be used as cannon fodder vanguards, suffering huge losses, and even if he won in the end, he would not get the slightest victory, because he still had a green water tribe pressed on his head.
Since there is no point in participating in the coalition army, then he still has to make any fun, just stay in the cave, do nothing, just watch the Green Water tribe fight, maybe the other party is not careful, the soldiers are killed and injured countless times, and then he can go to pick fruits, hehe.
On the fourth day, when he was waiting patiently in the cave, the guards outside the cave suddenly ran in and reported, "Chief, a strange giant has asked to see you. ”
"Strange? Giant? Gratt was a little confused, their iron-eating giants were already very tall, what kind of person could be called a giant by his warriors?
After thinking about it, Gratu still ordered: "Let him in." ”
No matter who the other party is, there is only one person, and this is his cave, surrounded by so many warriors, there is no fear of the other party at all.
After a while, a giant with a height of nearly five meters walked in, and the strange thing is that although he was so tall and strong, his walking posture gave people a feeling of dexterity like a leopard, and he walked step by step, and there was no sound of footsteps.
Especially when he saw the other party's pair of dark and dull eyes, Gratu couldn't help but feel an indescribable chill in his heart.
"Who are you? What's the matter with me? Gratu asked, his tone completely devoid of his master's calm confidence. Even he didn't realize it, but at the beginning, he completely lost the upper hand in momentum, and this was still his own lair, his home turf.
Dante stood straight, his black hole eyes scanning all the giant warriors in the cave. Looking at it, he suddenly laughed: "Heh~ A group of strong tigers, but they are ruled by a mouse!" ”
"What tiger mouse? What exactly are you trying to say? There was a hint of anger in Gratu's voice, he instinctively thought it wasn't a good thing, but he didn't understand it, because there were no two creatures in the Withered Plains, and he had basically stayed in the Withered Plains all his life and never went out.
Dante smiled, withdrew his gaze, and stared straight at Gratu, "I'm the new emissary of Lord Kauss. My task. It is to assemble a powerful dark coalition army to sweep away the outposts of the invaders. ”
As soon as he heard this, Gratu didn't think about it and flatly refused: "This has nothing to do with me, you are a complete waste of time when you come here." My clan will never join the coalition! ”
"Oh, really?" Dante laughed, and after laughing, his voice suddenly turned cold: "Then you rat can die!" ”
"Arrogance!" Gratu was furious. Pointing to the exit of the cave, "You are the messenger of Lord Kaus, I tolerate you for once." Right now. Get out of my cave! ”
Dante didn't seem to hear this, he looked at the giant standing third to the left of Gratu's body, and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Get out!" Gratu roared, furious at the other's disregard.
Dante was still the same as before, and his voice never fluctuated emotionally, with a very unpleasant taunt in it. It seems that in his eyes, all mortals are stupid pigs who are ignorant and not worthy of his words.
He still ignored Gratu's rage, his eyes fixed on the warrior.
The giant warrior hesitated for a moment, then looked at his leader. In the end, he said his name: "My name is Kogu." ”
"Very well, Kogu, do you want to be the new leader of this clan?" Dante asked.
The warrior looked down at the ground to keep out the longing in his eyes, and to others he just shook his head, as if refusing to answer Dante's question.
Dante smiled, he had already seen the ambition in this Kogu's heart, he raised his hand, and flicked his fingers at Kogu, and a dark red ball of light the size of his thumb flew out and sank into Kogu's body at a lightning speed.
Almost instantly, this Kogu's body began to change, and he grew taller and stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly surpassing the current leader of the tribe, Grat.
Eventually, Kogu became a four-meter-tall giant with knotted muscles, and Gratu looked in front of him like a chick that could be pinched to death.
Dante took a step back lightly and said with a smile, "Kogu, this is the power that Lord Kaus has given you, and he is optimistic about you, believing that you will be the greatest leader in the history of the Iron Dust Clan. What do you think of it yourself? ”
"I think?" Kogu was still familiar with his body: "I feel that I have endless power! ”
"In that case, what are you waiting for?" An eerie smile appeared on Dante's eerie face.
Kogu looked at Grat, and said loudly, "Grat, I challenge you!" ”
"You warriors, Kogu has become a puppet of Kaus, kill him!" Grat's body kept retreating, loudly ordering the fighters on the left and right.
But this time, his orders are invalid, and when a new powerful giant appears to challenge the old leader's position, the authority of the old leader will be temporarily invalidated, and he can only defeat the challenger with his own strength.
This is the oldest tradition among the Iron Giants, and this is the same for all three tribes.
Glatt became more and more flustered, the situation was very clear, he could not be the opponent of this Kogu, and he couldn't even resist, in a panic, he saw the messenger of Caius standing aside, his heart suddenly moved, and he shouted loudly: "I agree to join the coalition, I agree to join the coalition!" ”
Dante stretched out his index finger and shook it in front of him, smiling and refusing: "Gratu, I gave you a chance, but you don't want it yourself." This opportunity, if you throw it away, you can't pick it up. ”
Kogu strode close to Grat, clenched his hands into fists, and threw a punch at Grat, his punch was so powerful and so fast that the air was smashed and there was a 'crackling' explosion, and the power was incomparably amazing.
Where did Glatt dare to greet him, raising his arm to block.
"Bang! Click! With a bang, his arm was smashed alive, twisted into shape, and he lost his combat effectiveness in one fell swoop.
"Boom!" Kogu threw another punch and slammed it into Grat's head, 'Bang! With another muffled sound, Grat's head tilted sharply, and a noticeable depression could be seen, and two of his eyeballs were smashed straight out. Then, like a rag pocket, he fell limply to the ground, and there was no more sound.
The former leader was stoned to death by Kogu with two punches.
Then Kogu raised his fists and looked at the surrounding tribal warriors, who immediately responded, kneeling on the ground one by one, shouting, "Chief! ”
This voice made Kogu fall into great intoxication, he thought that this day had been for a long time, he had thought that there was no hope in this life, but he did not expect it to come suddenly, and the awe-inspiring performance of the warriors made his heart flutter, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Dante didn't rush, just watched from the sidelines, letting Kogu enjoy the pleasure of being the leader. However, there was a peculiar smile on his face, which seemed to be pleasant, and it seemed to be disdainful, like the expression of a man watching a group of monkeys juggle.
After a long time, Kogu came back to his senses from the joy of becoming a leader, and he looked at Dante and solemnly assured: "Messenger of Kaus, from today onwards, my tribe and I will obey your call at any time!" ”
"Very well, Mistress Kaes will remember your loyalty. You also have to understand a truth, in this world, no matter what you want, you need to fight desperately. A cowardly retreat will only end up like Gratu, the dust of history! Dante admonished.
Of course, he didn't say this for the sake of the future of the Iron-Eating Tribe, but to instill some ideas in these honest giants so that they could do their best in future wars.
If it was a sane Gratu, he would definitely be able to hear the private goods mixed in this sentence at once, and he would know the viciousness of this sentence, which was to cut off the future of their tribe at all.
In this world, a single warrior can be desperate, because he is only responsible for his own life, but the tribe can't, the tribe must judge the situation, there must be advances and retreats, when the situation is impossible, it should retreat, if you are crazy and desperate at this time, it is stupid!
Such a tribe will inevitably disappear into history.
But Kogu is not Gratu, he has been carried away by his newfound immense power, and he agrees with Dante's words: "You are right, Gratu is too cowardly, he is not worthy to be our leader!" But I won't, I'll use my power to tell the Greenwater Clan, tell the invaders, let them know that our warriors of the Iron Dust Clan are definitely not cowards! ”
"Well said! I'm looking forward to seeing your clan on the battlefield! Dent exclaimed, but there was still a sense of mockery in his eyesless sockets, which seemed to say, 'Look at this idiot, the brain is as simple as a lower creature.'
After that, Dante and Kogu made some specific agreements, and then he did not stay in the cave for long, and immediately set off to the Greenwater tribe.
As a general, if you want to achieve a great victory, you must have soldiers on your hands.
One Iron Dust Tribe is not enough, plus the Green Water Clan, plus the Lava Giant, plus the Black Fang Snake Man is not enough, he needs to gather all the power that can be gathered, and then deliver a thunderous blow that makes the opponent unable to breathe at all.
'Is there a god of nature?' Hehe, I can feel that this is going to be a protracted war. And this war will surely make me an immortal god! ’
He was already at the pinnacle of mortals, and he was only one trace away from igniting his own divine fire, and this last trace, he had a hunch that he would break through in this war.
Striding across the land of the withered plains, Dante looked up at the sky with his empty eyes: 'Lord of Darkness, I will not let you down! (To be continued......)
