Folded Tooth looked with interest at the waterproof sacks of linen grain covered with dry thatch in the distance: "Ah Qu, this method is good!" How did you come up with the idea of arranging a supply point here? ”

"It is already very hard for the fighters to walk long distances, not to mention that their main task is to fight. Leave the transportation of supplies to others, and set up a few more camps along the way, so that everyone can get enough rest...... Speaking of which, this is not the method I came up with, it is the meaning of our city lord. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the broken tooth and persuaded in a low voice: "Ah Zhe, you should swear allegiance to the city lord now!" I help you testify, and it will do you good to do so. ”

Folded Tooth put away the smile on his face, his eyebrows sank straight down with anger, and he shouted unhappily: "I said that I swore to him when I saw your city lord." It's almost time to Rock City, why are you talking about this again? What a hell of a disappointment...... Ah Qu, I warn you not to mention it again! Otherwise, I'm going to turn the other cheek with you. ”

"The gods are everywhere, and if you really have a heart, it makes no difference if you swear anywhere." Crooked Tooth looked down at the hand he was clasping in front of him: "As a witness, I will help you get the best treatment from the city lord. ”

The corners of his mouth tilted to the side, and he smiled disdainfully: "I know my own affairs." Ah Qu, don't worry about it. ”

He deliberately ended the unpleasant topic: "I'm hungry, it's not early, let's go eat!" Rest early in the evening, and get up early tomorrow to go. ”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the crowd who were distributing food.

"Wait, don't go over there and join in the fun." Crooked Tooth stopped him, "Come with me, I'll get you something delicious." ”

The broken teeth that stopped suddenly became interested: "Hehe, I can't see it, you still hide private goods?" ”

Qu Tooth smiled faintly: "You are the leader, I am the steward of the leader, of course, the food cannot be the same as the people below." I had two chickens slaughtered, some rice boiled, and wine, so we had a few drinks. ”

The two very simple words instantly aroused the appetite of the broken teeth, and he felt a large amount of saliva gushing out of his mouth, and subconsciously swallowed his throat a few times.

It's a long valley. Walking a few hundred meters along the trail behind the col, it was already dark, and no people could be heard nearby, except for heavy footsteps, and there was silence all around.

Broken Tooth suddenly felt that something was wrong, he stopped, looked up in confusion, and found that none of the guards around him followed, except for the Curved Tooth who walked in the front, and the dozen or so Niu Clan warriors around him were his people.

"Aqu, wait, don't go." Broken Tooth hurriedly shouted to Qu Tooth: "It's too far, let's go back!" I'm tired after a day of walking, but you still let someone get the food and send it over, I want to go back and have a good rest. ”

Crooked Tooth slowly turned around, his fat and stout body looked particularly tall in the depths of the night, he held a torch in his hand, and the surface of his sharply curved fangs reflected light, like a legendary ogre, facing a big meal.

"Swear to the gods! Swear allegiance to the great Dragon Tianhao City Lord! His tone was flat and unwavering.

Along the way, Crooked Tooth repeatedly persuaded Broken Tooth to swear, but he prevaricated and rejected it for various reasons.

A chill rushed up the back of the broken tooth to the top of his head, and under the infection of the hot blood in his body, it quickly turned into a sharply expanding anger: "I have already said that I went to Rock City and swore to that person in person, why do you still ......"

"I don't believe you." There was calm in Qu Yan's eyes, and the torch burned with a slight explosion of "zi-la-la", as if to give rhythm to his calm and steady words: "Ah Zhe, I have known you for so many years, I know your temper and character very well. On the surface, it looks like you are big and bold, but in fact you are thoughtful and good at scheming. ”

"Is it that hard to make an oath? If you are truly willing to take refuge, it makes no difference if you swear anywhere. ”

"Why did you divide the people of Ningguanzhai into two parts? The thousand people you brought out are all elite and well-equipped. I know that you have always been very bold, and you have always been very bold to enter Rock City with this elite army in the name of "surrender", taking advantage of our defenselessness, taking advantage of the chaos to raid, and using the city lord's head to repay your king, this is your plan? ”

With the flat words of the bent teeth, the heart of the frenzy of the broken teeth continued to cool. He didn't feel hot at all, but felt a terrible cold like falling into an ice cave tightly wrapping his body.

He never thought of surrendering.

When he heard the news of the Niu tribe's large-scale attack, he thought that he would face a bloody battle to the death, but he didn't expect it to be led by his old friend Quya. The experience of competitors who once fell in love with the same woman, coupled with the long-term intimacy of the same race, made Broken Tooth quickly come up with a way to deal with it.

He knew that Qu Tooth was an honest man with an honest personality. As long as he is introduced, it should not be difficult to meet the Rock City Lord. When the time comes, lead up to a thousand elites under his command to riot, hold the Rock City Lord hostage, or cut off his head, and the other party will naturally be in chaos. Killing people and forcing the opponent to surrender at the same time, generating a large number of followers, and multiplying their own power, this is a common method in the war of the northern barbarians.

This is a plan that is perfect in the eyes of Folded Teeth, and it is extremely feasible. As long as you succeed, it means that you will become a nobleman. The king will certainly not be stingy with rewards, and His Majesty may make himself king because of his outstanding military achievements...... Life is so wonderful, and the future is full of exciting hope.

With such thoughts in my heart, of course, it is impossible to swear to the gods. The human heart can be deceived, but it cannot be dealt with the gods in the same way. Parents were taught from an early age, and priests and shamans repeatedly warned that one should not lie to the gods, and that if you swore an oath, you must never break it.

Crooked Tooth stepped forward slowly, and the indifferent voice was clearly heard in the dark night to Folded Tooth's ear.

"You want to kill our city lord as your capital for promotion?"

"Actually, you don't want to swear at all, just use this as an excuse to deceive me."

"You're really ruthless! Give up the thousands of people left in Ningguanzhai just to paralyze me, to be able to meet the city lord and strike a fatal blow. ”

Broken teeth clenched their teeth and didn't say a word.

These words pierced the secret of his heart.

"Your heart must be full of hope." Curved Tooth had already come closer, staring at the iron-blue folded tooth on his face, and he let out a poet's sigh: "But you obviously don't know that hope is a terrible poison, it will anesthetize the brain, drive away reason, make you unable to recognize reality, and only indulge in the most brilliant aura of beauty, and you can't even reach out and touch it." ”

“…… You...... What do you want to do? Broken Tooth's muscles tensed, and he knew that the situation was not good, but he could not escape. The surrounding Niu warriors had already shown their weapons, their long knives and steel spears aimed at them, and the long-handled battle axes were also in a posture of being ready to slash at any moment.

This scene reminds Broken Tooth of the beast that used to lead a hunting team in the mountains, trapped in a circle by the hunters waiting for death to come.

"I gave you a chance...... Many chances. ”

Crooked Tooth no longer sighed, and his voice became cold and firm: "I want your head, this is the price you must pay for deceiving the city lord." ”

The tense nerves of his teeth reached the extreme at this moment, and he let out a strong furious roar: "You dare to ......"

The second half of the sentence was completely interrupted by a long knife that stabbed into the body from the side.

Two spears pierced his back from behind, piercing the heart and lungs, the sharp tips protruding from the folded tooth's chest.

Another long knife severed the broken right foot of the broken foot, and the bloody human stump flew up half a meter high and landed two meters away, the sole of the foot fell out of the tattered shoe, and the five toes twitched under the traction of the nerves that had not yet stopped moving.

The steel axe unleashed a terrifying force, with a terrifying roar that pierced the air, slicing through skin and muscles, slicing deep into the broken tooth of the left shoulder blade, and settling into it.

Broken Tooth is a formidable fighter with a wealth of combat experience. But no matter how strong the warrior is in the face of the predicament of being besieged, the final result is also the word "death".

Blood spurted from his mouth and he screamed and fell.

The two Ox warriors quickly stepped forward, raised their long knives, and cut off both of his arms.

The Broken Teeth screamed hoarsely, and the screams could be heard far away in the night sky. Doing so consumed the little strength he had left, plus the unstoppable bleeding, and a few minutes later, he flipped his body for the last time in the struggle, his back was facing the sky, and he lay completely on the ground, gasping for breath in violent convulsions, unable to move again.

Crooked Tooth approached, he bent down and squatted down, stuck the burning torch in his hand on the ground, and stared intently at the dying Broken Tooth: "Save your energy, don't scream, it's useless to do this." ”

Broken teeth feel cold all over, which is caused by too much bleeding and the body temperature drops. He stared at the crooked teeth with angry eyes, but he didn't understand the meaning of his words.

Crooked tooth raised his hand and pointed to his ear: "Your people can't hear anything, they won't come." ”

The last hope was completely dashed, but the broken teeth did not beg for mercy. He wanted to bite his teeth and take a mouthful of thick phlegm, but he was stuck by a cloud of blood gushing up from his throat, and he had to cough several times in a row, and finally let out an angry curse without any sense of strength in the violent wheezing.

“…… You...... Traitor ......"

After saying this incoherent sentence, his eyes were completely frozen, and his body no longer twitched, as if he had encountered absolute zero temperature in an instant, and everything was frozen.

He's dead.

Crooked Tooth stared at his dead friend: "You are not the only one who has hope in this world, we are all pursuing ideals and happiness in our own way. The difference is that I succeeded, you failed. ”

"You have chosen the wrong king. He is not worthy of your following, not worth your life for it. Unfortunately, you don't understand that. ”

The thousand pig warriors in the col camp were asleep.

The grain stored at the supply point was the same batch of grain that Tianhao used to deceive Iron Tooth by pretending to be the son of Fu Song. It is mixed with dried ergot mushroom powder, which was not used up last time, so I will continue to use it this time.

The sleeping Pig warriors must have cronies who are broken, and now that their allegiance is dead, they must think about their future and their way to survive when they wake up.

It shouldn't be too hard to convince them.

In the back, there is also a brigade from Ningguanzhai.

Broken Tooth is a smart man, and his plan is very successful.

Unfortunately, he met outsiders who did not belong to this world.

……

Pig Territory, Crazy Tooth City.

Shaya did not delay, and immediately rushed to his home city when he got the news. Crazy Tooth City is now heavily guarded, and the city gates have been sealed, which makes Sandtooth who has entered the city feel reassured and breathes a long sigh of relief.

The overall atmosphere in the city was much more tense than usual, almost everyone looked solemn, the streets were sparsely populated, and every house was closed.

There are more guards in the City Lord's Mansion than before.

Sand Tooth directly summoned the city guard commander Witherfang. He sat down in his chair and raised his hand to the withered tooth tiredly: "Say, what is the situation now?" ”

Withered Tooth is Sandtooth's henchman, and he is in charge of all matters related to Wild Tooth City during this time. There was no one else present, so there was no need to speak so formally: "The Niu people of the Thunder Ox tribe have launched an attack on us. From the border areas, many villages have been captured. ”

Shafang was furious, and he clenched his fists tightly: "Ox people? They and I have always been well water and not river water, why should they go to war? ”

Withered Tooth, who had passed middle age, shook his head, and he was looking for an answer to this question himself. Three groups of envoys were sent to the Lei Niu Department to inquire about the situation, but there has been no reply so far.

"As far as I know, this war doesn't seem to be the meaning of the King of Thunderhorn." Being able to become the commander of the city guards in charge of power, Withered Tooth has extraordinary insight: "I have collected information from all sides, and the Thunder Bull Department only has one direction to send troops to Rock City. I think it's the Rock City that is targeting us. ”

"Rock City?" Sand Tooth suddenly jumped up: "You mean, they only have one city?" Just use that little power against my entire tribe? ”

Withered nodded cautiously: "According to the current situation analysis, it should be like this." ”

"How many of them are there?" This is the main concern of Sand Tooth.

"About 30,000, the specific number is not clear, it may be more than this. The lord of Rock City was very young, and the city had just been founded. Last year, they killed Iron Tooth and swallowed his tribe, and their strength was inflated all at once. I guess this year we are aiming for it again...... But there is one thing I don't understand, where do they get enough food to feed the Iron Tooth's men? That's not a small amount. Withered Tooth gave a brief introduction to the situation.

"Only 30,000?" Sand Tooth found it in disbelief, and he let out a piercing scream, "My tribe has more than 60,000 people, which is exactly twice as many as them!" ”

With a helpless smile on his face, he lowered his head and stopped talking.

He could understand Shafang's mood at the moment.

30,000 against 60,000, the weak side takes the initiative to attack the strong one, this kind of thing seems strange no matter how you look at it.
