Chapter 39: Expedition to the Lizardman Camp
This time, Vivien, like last time, left with her troops after only one night.
However, Vivien's words before leaving made Langdon fall into deep thought.
"The Marat family, the Wall family, I don't know how many other families you have provoked, it's just that you'd better figure out one thing, now that you're no longer in Sorenord, it's impossible for your mother to send someone to protect you all day like before, since you yourself have recognized the identity of this so-called lord, then, next, you need to face these problems yourself. β
"Of course, don't think that I say these words to care about you, I just don't want you to die at the hands of outsiders, even if you are independent, but you are still the child of your mother, you are still my nominal brother, if you are killed, it will only be us who will lose face. β
"Also, don't think that your hands and feet are clean, you can clear all suspicions, I know that the death of Jani and that old cow has something to do with you, since they are dead, then you must have understood a lot of things, and I am not afraid to tell you, yes, those are all at my behest, your luck is good, but it can't be like this forever. β
"Do you really think that with those goblin knights and that snake demon woman, I won't dare to do it? You're still too young, my brother, hurry up and make yourself stronger, or ...... Hmph!"
Langdon was really shocked into a cold sweat when he first heard these words, it was obvious that it was indeed unreliable to evaluate Vivian just from memory, Vivian's courage was far greater than he remembered, and she dared to admit such a thing, would she really abide by those rules honestly because she was afraid of the Isis Mistress?
As she said, if she was really determined to do something to Langdon, would Langdon's forces really be enough to protect him?
Then, as Langdon chewed on the words several times, he came up with something else.
If Vivien had the guts, then why didn't she do it?
So, is it because she doesn't have enough guts? Although she has only been with Vivien for less than two days, Langdon immediately rejected this idea, if she doesn't have enough courage to become a city matriarch when she is underage? If she doesn't have enough courage, will she take an army of more than 100 people and attack a city controlled by someone else's family?
Or is it that question, she is bold enough, why not do it?
It was the question that Langdon had thought about for the longest time, and finally, the image that came to his mind was that he was running in front and Vivien was chasing after him with a knife.
It's not that Vivien is going after him, it's that Vivien is persecuting him. It's like encouragement and urging, but it's much more cruel than that, Vivian is indeed using various means to force him to improve, however, if he doesn't meet Vivian's requirements, and he is caught up by Vivian in that picture, then, the knife in Vivian's hand will definitely not hesitate to stab down!
But why would Vivien do this?
Langdon was puzzled by this, and searched his memories again, but could not find anything that could help analyze Vivien's psychology.
In the end, Langdon could only touch the pendant hanging around his neck and mutter, "Is it because of you again?"
Of course, thinking is thinking, but life has to be normal, and Vivien's persecution does not conflict with Langdon's goal in the first place.
"So, because of that battle, the Chivitas were instigated, and then they sent someone to negotiate with Vivien?" Langdon asked Hogg, who was sitting next to him.
At this time, he was not sitting in the rotating seat, but on the back of the vulture turtle, which was big enough to carry not only Langdon and Hogg at this time, but also one more Avina, and the three of them did not feel crowded when sitting on the huge shell.
"yes. Hogg nodded, still unhappy on his face, "Just fought that battle, it's not as interesting as fighting the bear goblins, it's not fun at all." β
Langdon smiled bitterly, the only one who could equate war with a fight was Hogg.
"Alright, stop complaining. Langdon raised his hand and patted Hogg's head, and said with a smile: "Are you really because you are already invincible? It's just 30 goblin knights, and you've only been training for more than a month, how strong can you be? β
Hogg still pouted unhappily, but in the end he didn't refute it, and nodded obediently.
"Besides, didn't I immediately give you a chance to train in the army, are you more like going to war with my sister?" Langdon teased.
"Of course not! I don't like her!" Hogg exclaimed, in exchange for a gentle touch.
Avina, who was sitting on the other side, quietly watched the interaction between the two, and at this time, a look of envy flashed in a pair of shining eyes.
"Ahh Langdon stood up from the back of the vulture turtle and looked into the distance, seeing the goal of his line by the glimmer of the stars that existed everywhere in the underworld.
The stone faΓ§ade with a height of more than 3 meters, the simple houses made of unprocessed rubble, and the slender micro-bows that walked between the houses, all loomed in those glimmers.
In the entire Shimas region, the only one who can have a camp of this size is the group of lizardmen who are ranked first in the strength list in the lord system.
Yes, Langdon took the whole family on a trip this time, and he didn't hesitate to put down the test field for the time being, and the place that took him nearly three days to come to was the lizardman camp.
"Alright, just stop in that little col up ahead. Langdon pointed ahead, and then, the team that maintained a high-speed march began to slow down slowly, such a high-speed march, those goblin knights had been accustomed to the previous training, but a few dark elves who were sitting on the lizards showed their discomfort, and when the team stopped, they couldn't wait to jump off the lizards one by one, and their faces had become extremely ugly.
"Set up camp on the spot, Mihai and Ibaka go and investigate, by the way, bring the little spirit sucker with you, it is familiar with the terrain here. β
Yes, for this operation, Langdon specifically "borrowed" a little guy from the Psicosuckers.
Langdon, with the Great Goblin Knights as his main combat force, certainly couldn't let them storm the high outer walls of the lizardman camp.
Langdon, who had long wanted to conquer here, had been preparing for it for a long time, just like any time before.
