Chapter 449: The King's Concerns
Because of the cold climate here, and the lack of supplies and supplies, King Nihod's injuries have not been healed. It took about 2 years to be considered basically good, but by this time the frogman was already very strong. King Nihod felt that after 2 years, the magnetic attack on his side had not been strengthened, and the frogmen must have been more prepared earlier, so he did not dare to act rashly. It's just that he is working with Goode on the next generation of ferrofluids, and at present, he can only hope to achieve a breakthrough in the 4th generation of ferrofluid technology as soon as possible!
Later, although Cludo armed the ratmen with spore weapons, he adopted a lot of tunnel tactics, which caused the frogmen to abandon many old cities from prosperity to decline. Goode knew these things, and when he told the king of Nihod, Goode thought that the king would be glad to go and join Cludo. But King Nihod can be said to be a gentleman with the heart of a villain. King Nihod felt that if he was Cludo, now that he was in power, he would be about to destroy the frogmen, and the will of the heir king was just a disguise, and if he really found himself, he would definitely do harm!
Therefore, when the nezumi gained power, King Nihod did not appear. This is the large number of nezumi who have become frogs led by Jack, and the people are convinced that King Nehod is dead. And when the Twisted Beard was very active, on the one hand, King Nihod felt that it was difficult for them to achieve great things, after all, the frogman had too much of a lead. On the other hand, in his early years, he was trained and educated by King Nihod himself as an officer. But later made a mistake and was expelled by King Nihod. After twisting the beard, he followed Holmes in everything. Therefore, for these old feuds with Twisted Beard, King Nihod is also unsure of this person. So he didn't show up to join the beard.
Although there are a few sporadic rat people who have escaped into the northern highlands, they have been recruited by Goode and left behind for auxiliary development and research or daily life. But the number is very small, only a few hundred. That is, to maintain a difficult environment and barely survive.
After retreating into the Northwest Plateau, the Twisted Whiskers were familiar with the terrain as soon as possible, after all, their previous battles with the frogmen benefited from their familiarity with the terrain, and the goat scorpion chariot can only play a role in the mountains, if it is in the plains, it is not the opponent of the frogman's main chariot at all.
There are millions of rat people transferred this time, and they are a half-army and half-civilian team that is accustomed to life, production and combat in the mountains. When he drove the goat scorpion chariot and a few senior commanders for future battles, and when he was surveying and familiarizing himself with the terrain, he unexpectedly found that a group of nezumi were also hiding here, and they were not many in number, but they were very orderly, which was very difficult for the nezumi.
Twisted Beard was silent, but found out that they were doing some trade with some of the other Nezumi tribes hiding nearby. So he disguised himself and infiltrated the small tribe of King Nihod under the guise of trade, and discovered King Nihod. And Twist is different from Holmes, Cludo, Goode, and other scientists and administrators. Because those who study science will think that King Nyhod is too powerful to understand everything, and he guides the direction of science. They are having this worship in it.
And the twist beard does not have this kind of worship, on the contrary, as a military leader, the twist beard thinks more about the logic of human behavior. So Twist found King Nihod hiding there, and didn't tell anyone else. Because Whisker felt that King Nihod did not seem to love the people so much. Because the frogmen have apparently been searching for King Nehod for many years. And King Nehod was the first to make a smoke bomb, so that all the nezumi thought that he was retreating eastward and followed him eastward, and the frogmen also searched and pursued eastward, and then the nezumi were pursued by the frogmen, and the casualties were so heavy that you hid in the northwest.
Although it was not a big mistake to cherish his own life, he felt that at least it was not Holmes, the worshippers of King Nihod in Cludo, who loved his people more than himself. Then Twist also considered that when the nezumi led by Cludo had gained power before, why didn't King Nihod show up? His small tribe may not be completely ignorant of information at all. It was also when this rat man was in power, and he didn't come out what the king was worried about, and he couldn't figure it out about this, and because he couldn't figure it out, he decided not to recognize the king for the time being! Let's just keep the status quo and see.
Twistbeard learned from the scout that King Nihod was once a solo rider who almost wiped out the entire frogman clan, although Twistbeard couldn't understand how he could do it alone, but he was sure that King Nihod was a very powerful man, even more powerful than the entire Nezumi clan. That's why the frogs are so crazy looking for him, crazy looking because they are afraid of King Nihod!
And the king forsaken the people... This shows that the king is not so bright, and the king does not come out when the nezumi gain power, it is estimated that if the king's strength is added, it is likely that Cludo will destroy the frogman in one fell swoop at that time, and the king will not appear. When his side began to cause more and more losses to the frogmen, the king did not come out. What was the king worried about? Are you ready to be safe?
Twist has been pondering these questions. For him, King Nihod used to be as high as a god, but the abandonment of the people may not make sense left and right, so the king did not show up and prepared to survive, but he died? It should be unlikely. The more skilled people are, the less they will say that they are content with the status quo, and they can't wait to show their skills! Moreover, the king was the one who almost wiped out the entire frogman clan, so he should be thinking about how to make up for the difference.
Twist Beard probed further and found that the mysterious little tribe, they occupied a mine, and they never traded minerals, did they eat minerals? If you don't eat it, what are you doing?
Twistbeard secretly sent his right-hand men to keep an eye on the movements of this young man. Twist Beard felt that King Nihod was indispensable for the revival of the nezumi. But what exactly were the king's concerns? If you can't figure it out yourself, don't look back at the revival of the nezumi, you're finished. Then this revival doesn't seem to appeal to me much.
Although Holmes's words may sacrifice himself for the revival of the rat people, it is okay, but he can't do it. It was precisely because he couldn't do it that he admired Holmes. Although he dared to take risks militarily, it was out of the consideration of surprise victory, not simply risking his life.
Moreover, during the period of King Nihod, especially in the later period, when the economy was in turmoil, King Nihod did not kill many people. In particular, the rebels in three cities were slaughtered overnight, and the rat people spread wildly. While there are those who are in favor of doing so, there are those who are not. But it was true, and the king did it himself. No one else can explain the process of slaughtering the rebels in the three cities.
