Chapter Thirty-Eight: Prairie Night Talk (I)
To be honest, even the warlocks who borrowed demonic powers, whether it was in Azeroth or this Draenor, many of them chose to transform themselves and become human again. And from the overall base of the warlock, this is also closer to an ordinary power system, and it only depends on the individual who becomes good or bad after learning, in contrast, the group of guys in the Shadow Council is more like a small part of the devil and playing with themselves.
The power displayed by Xue Qiong was indeed more "evil" intuitively, but he did not mention the warlock's affairs, but only used an ambiguous, nonsense mental journey, which was more convincing than any words of explanation.
Moreover, it is estimated that Grom and the others have seen more warlocks than the orcs Xue Qiong has seen, and it can be seen that although the black lotus is particularly cold and mysterious, it is indeed completely different from the energy used by those warlocks and demons.
Grom was silent for a while, although his attitude on the surface had not changed, but in his heart he had completely believed the origin of what Xue Qiong said...
As night approached and the sun had turned half the sky red, a large hole had been opened in the Auriga's hull from the inside out, and thousands of orcs poured out, almost all physically and mentally exhausted.
The original purpose of the Iron Tribe's rush to help, Black Suo, although he picked up a life, his grizzled appearance is probably going to be ridiculed by all the goblins - the mecha is nowhere to be found, the troops he brought into the ship are only two hundred people, and since he came into contact with the rescue force, he has been shivering and hiding behind Grom, and even asked to sit on his shoulder without restraint... Although it was rejected by Grom without hesitation.
As for the five or six thousand fighters that Grom brought into the spaceship, there are now only more than four thousand left.
In order to save more than 700 people, more than 1,000 people were rescued, and in the end only more than 200 people were rescued, is it worth it? Whether it is from the numbers, or from the cultural background of the orcs who are not afraid of life and death in the face of the enemy, and are ashamed to be rescued by charity, it is very uneconomical... But that's without counting the black rope.
Although Grom has set up on the idea of counterbalancing Hesso, that doesn't mean he doesn't need Hesso. With so many years of experience and his understanding of goblin urine, he could easily foresee what kind of blow the sudden death of Hesuo would cause to the industrial base of the entire steel tribe - the rest of the goblins of Hesuo Company would definitely hurry to divide this big cake, and fight in order to grab a larger part, and then endless business divisions, asset restructuring, vicious competition, and black-box operations... To make a mess of the entire rear, and then to cause a massive wave of unemployment.
Grom's idea of checks and balances is only to find a healthy competition for Hesuo, and by the way, to weaken the influence of these goblins on the Iron Tribe, but this must not come at the cost of the stability of the Steel Tribe.
As soon as they stepped out of the ship, several scout cavalry were already waiting outside, and they had taken the large force to the steppe a few miles outside the ship, where a large refugee camp had been set up.
It was the work of Kakritz and Dr. Warren, who, along with the venerable old shaman who had traveled to Loclas with his party, managed to convince the troops left behind to temporarily house the survivors of the Auriga. The logistics troops who arrived later from Lokras provided them with minimal food, water, and tents, and built improvised wooden walls... Although the personal freedom of these human beings is still severely restricted, it is no longer a matter of importance to them.
Whoever it is, after seeing two alien species in one day and being slaughtered by the first one, is now considered to have ascended from hell to heaven.
And after Grom decided to camp the big army here for one night, the camp inevitably expanded a few more laps...
Draenor had two moons, that is, two moons, and under twice as much moonlight, Xue Qiong carefully cut a piece of meat from the oil-soaked half of the split-hoofed sheep roasted on the bonfire in front of him, put it on the iron plate he was holding in his hand, handed it to the poison island man next to him, and then asked around: "Let's talk about the situation." ”
Around this bonfire, in addition to Xue Qiong, Poison Island Tsuiko, Fu Shuai, there are several protagonists and important plot characters of Da Shao and Alien Four, but only Ripley, Cole, Dr. Warren and the cripple mechanic Liz, as for Jonner and Christie, the two men who don't need to take any ideas, after entering the spaceship with the orc warriors and coming for another afternoon of thrilling, even if the language barrier has formed a deep sense of affection and identity, and now they have already hooked their shoulders beside other fires, eating meat and drinking... Especially Johnner, although this guy didn't carry much liquor, plus his keen sense of alcoholic smell, he had drunk more than a dozen orcs by now with the good goods he had unknowingly scavenged from the spaceship.
"The people from the Heso Company are also here." Dr. Warren sneered, "These guys, how dare they directly skip their boss to negotiate, their engineering team will come tomorrow to dismantle the Auriga... They seem to want to dismantle this crystallization of modern civilization, this space city that has been infused with half my life's work, inside and out, into ordinary scrap metal to be used to forge armor for those barbarians. ”
Xue Qiong went to cut his own piece of dinner, and said, "If they dare to come, they can come, there are at least more than 30,000 aliens in there." But we do have to plan ahead, sooner or later the aliens will leave the ship because they need food..."
"What do you think?" Warren asked.
"That's your ship. Even if it wasn't all yours originally, after all, now, the other shareholders have long since died, so it's your ship. Xue Qiong actually took the procedural consciousness to heart at this time, "The future of the Auriga, I still want you to make up your mind." ”
Warren was silent. But just as he wanted to say something, Liz took Xue Qiong's words before him, and said in a very stubborn tone, and I don't care when the king of heaven comes: "We don't care about his ship, but we have unanimously decided that Betty is our Betty, and no one wants to snatch it." ”
Disabled and strong-willed, and the interstellar pirate has the temper of an interstellar pirate, everyone knows that this is unpersuadable. So Xue Qiong immediately seemed a little out of place and praised the backbone, and promised that he would definitely ensure the integrity of the Betty.
The reason why he is willing to pat his chest so unremarkably is actually another reason, that is, the basis of the four worldviews of the aliens, in addition to these protagonists and aliens, "spaceship" is also a very important keyword.
"Tsk, it's boring..."
The characters in the plot are okay, but as the reincarnation who has experienced the most in the plot world here, how can you not see Xue Qiong's plans? But her mind was not here at all, and with a slight grumble, she left her table and walked in the direction of the largest campfire in the middle of the camp.
Xue Qiong frowned, and emphasized it in the team communication: "All actions are subject to command. ”
Now, he had long thought that at that time in Arad, with the technology in the hands of the Magic Guild and Callert, where could he directly control the Heavenly Veil Behemoth? And at that time, he was only the third in line to dominate the collapse of the worldview... Dashao definitely got involved in that incident by providing Callert with her own means of controlling creatures, and now that she was walking to the side of the Roaring father and son, she must have had the same idea with her ass.
"Alright, alright!" Da Shao waved her hand, on the premise of knowing that Ming Jian was also on this planet, and the two sides were not dying, she was not unaware of the seriousness of the matter, as soon as Xue Qiong stopped her, she basically let go of this thought, "Isn't it okay for me to go and find someone to drink?" ”
Xue Qiong shook his head helplessly, and at this time, Fu Shuai leaned over to him and said, "Boss, I chatted with Hei Suo before, and they said that the east side of this grassland... Tarador's there, those draenei are a bunch of people who regard the Light as their lifeline, I think... There is a head. ”
"Hmm..."Xue Qiong groaned, and saw that the poison island man beside him also wanted to speak and stopped, so he asked cooperatively first: "Yanzi, what do you think?" ”
Poison Island said in an indifferent tone: "Actually, I just want to tell you, I was in the spaceship before, because you wanted us to preserve our strength, so I was a little injured... And I was running for my life with an injured orc on my back, and by the time I reacted, it seemed as if the blood had been spread. ”
There is no patriarchal tradition among orcs, the so-called birth of boys and girls is as good, daughters are also good warriors, in fact, in the army of the Iron Tribe, although the ratio of men and women is not as unrealistic as one to one, but female orcs will not be less... In fact, according to Poison Island Tsushiko's heart, those old-fashioned things that have been deeply engraved in the traditional education since childhood, not only those things in bushido, but also Yamato Nadeshiko's concept of chastity, if it was a male orc who was injured at that time, she would never be willing to use the "back" method that requires long-term physical contact to save the other party's life.
In addition, the situation at that time was actually not so lightly described by her, but when Poison Island didn't have time to react, the two of them were sneak attacked by the alien who pierced a sugar gourd with their tails... Fortunately, Fu Shuai was also there, and at that time, he used the holy light in his body to pour it vigorously regardless of his exposed strength, which saved the lives of Poison Island and the female orc.
By the way, after going through those things in the school city, Fu Shuai's acting skills have also improved a lot, and after curing the two of them at that time, he immediately pretended to be prostration, and at this time, he also respected the wishes of the poison island and didn't tell Xue Qiong the real situation at that time.
