Chapter 197: The Troll's Revenge
The night is deeper, and the moonlit mountains are swaying with all kinds of magical colors: the shadows of the big trees dance lightly in the breeze with the sound of "rustling ......" leaves, and the dots of fireflies, striving to shine "dazzling", scurrying lightly among the bushes and low grass......
The air was filled with a strong smell of fireworks, mixed with a foul smell and the smell of barbecue.
Accompanied by the strange smell of the air, all kinds of noises stirred around: hysterical howls, the "crackling" sound of the fire cracking wood, the "clanging ............" of weapons colliding, and the urgent shouting of a friend......
At this moment, Wang Xu and Nilou stood side by side on the path on the side of a small mountain less than 100 meters high, under the cover of dense bushes, the two of them quietly observed the vigorous war under the mountain, below, was the tribe of the Minotaur Sangu.
At this time, the Minotaur tribe in the valley plain was almost completely surrounded by a sea of fire, and the dazzling light of the fire illuminated the entire tribe, and the fire light concealed the pointed tents that had been burned to the ground with only a few rags and a few broken supports.
Countless figures weaved through the fire: troll cavalry riding giant lizards and spear-wielding them, minotaur warriors wielding glittering axes, and pig-headed people with pigs' heads.
There was already a layer of corpses on the ground, including those of the Minotaurs, the Trolls, the Pig-Headed Men, and the Giant Lizard Mount.
Most of the corpses were mutilated, and many of them had been burned, and the clothes on their bodies were all burned with holes of different sizes, and some of the corpses, the armor on the burned bodies were melted, and even, some corpses, burned naked, all over the body were as yellow, orange and orange as cooked meat, and there was green smoke, which could explain why there was still a smell of barbecue in the air.
It seems that these three forces have been fighting for a long time, and almost no one is not injured, and after observing for a while, Wang Xu found that the original troll clan and the pig-headed people are a group, and the minotaur is fighting against the invasion of the two forces, and even, Wang Xu also found that the lizard cavalry of the troll clan is still setting fire everywhere in the tribe of the minotaur, as if it is malicious revenge.
"It seems that the orc clan is not united internally," Wang Xu whispered to Nilou beside him, "Didn't you notice, down there, the pig-headed people are all involved with the minotaurs!"
"Well, they both belong to the orc clan, why did the pig-headed people attack the minotaurs, and also unite the forces of the troll clan?" Nilou looked at the battle in the river valley in the sea of fire, shook her head slightly, and asked Wang Xu in puzzlement: "Could it be that the troll clan has bought the pig-headed tribe?"
"I don't think so, haven't you noticed that the troll cavalry has been setting fire to the minotaur tribe below, this kind of behavior is obviously revenge, thus, I guess," Wang Xu narrowed his eyes, and after sneering, he continued to whisper: " The pig-headed tribe should have taken refuge in the troll tribe a long time ago, and the troll tribe also tried to buy this minotaur tribe, but this minotaur tribe did not agree, so the embarrassed and angry troll tribe will take revenge on this tribe like this, in order to warn other orc tribes who are unwilling to surrender themselves!"
"Well, maybe it's really like you said, the trolls are making an example, but is this useful, aren't the trolls afraid of arousing the public anger of other orc tribes, I think, there should be many orc tribes in this area who are unwilling to surrender!" In the moonlight, Nilou blinked her eyes that shimmered with a touching silver shimmer, and turned her head to stare at Wang Xu, waiting for Wang Xu's answer.
"The trolls' approach is very clever, and it is absolutely impossible to provoke the public anger of the orc tribe in doing so, and the reason is very simple: first, the overall intelligence level of the orc tribe is not high, and whoever is good to them will be good to whom; second, the troll tribe uses the strategy of differentiation and disintegration, and they try their best to win over their orc tribe and give superior treatment, and they take ferocious revenge against their own orc tribe, so that soon, most of the orc tribes who don't understand the cold truth of the lip and tooth will accept the troll tribe and be controlled by the troll forces, after all, whoever gives them benefits is their friend, just like the pig-headed people below, after taking the benefits of the troll clan, they kill their fellow minotaurs, without mercy, everything comes from interests!" Wang Xu turned his head to look at Nilou and explained softly.
"Shall we help?" Nilou asked Wang Xu in a crisp voice, with a rush in her voice, and it was clear that Nilou wanted to help.
"Who's help?" Wang Xu asked rhetorically, he didn't want to get involved in this war that had nothing to do with him at all.
Hearing Wang Xu's question, Nilou glared at him with a puzzled expression and exclaimed, "Of course it's a favor for the Minotaur tribe! Isn't that tribe the tribe of your friend Minotaur Sangu, do you want to help the Troll Clan and the Pig-headed people to slaughter the Minotaurs in that tribe?"
"To be honest, I really want to help the trolls and pig-headed people, I just said, whoever supports the troll clan, the troll clan will give him preferential treatment, I want to pretend to join the troll clan, and after getting the benefits, I will take advantage of the contradictions between them and the orc tribe, and cooperate with them inside and outside to give them a fatal blow, this trick is much less effort than directly confronting them head-on!" Wang Xu said his strategy.
After all, Wang Xu's true intention is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
"Have you ever wondered what your friend Sangu the Minotaur will think of you when he wakes up and realizes that you are helping his enemies slaughter his people!" Nilou pouted and retorted.
"This is exactly where I am entangled, for the sake of interests, it is reasonable to help the troll clan, for the sake of friends, it is right to help the minotaur tribe, since friendship and interests are difficult to choose, then, I have to wait and see what happens!" Wang Xu explained softly with the corners of his mouth slightly curled, it was simply nonsense.
"What, you think I'm stupid," Nilou grabbed Wang Xu's collar, pulled Wang Xu to the back of her eyes, and gritted her teeth and roared: "Although I'm not too smart, but I'm not stupid, you think I don't know, you didn't plan to intervene in the battle below in the first place, the set of rhetoric just now was just for me, the purpose is to make me not care about the things below, right!"
"Well......" Wang Xu, who was seen by Nilou about his motives, was stunned for a short time, obviously, he didn't expect the paranoid Nilou to have a flash of inspiration, and then, Wang Xu gently grabbed Nilou's hand and asked her to let go of her collar, and then, moved out of her rosewood Taishi chair and helped her sit down.
After taking a deep breath, Wang Xu softly comforted Nilou and said: "You have also seen that the battle situation below is very chaotic, the three forces of the Minotaur, the Pig-headed Man, and the Troll Cavalry have been entangled, and it is difficult for us to intervene in it, if you release a forbidden spell there, then it is difficult to say which force will suffer more losses, so let's not intervene!"
"I'm angry not because you want to help the Minotaur tribe, but because you have something to say to me, don't keep going around the corner, although I'm not as smart as Zana and can help you with advice, but I won't object to your decision, after all, we ......" For the first time, the female man Nilou spoke with a choked tone in her words.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault, I didn't mean to go around the bend with you, this is a character I have cultivated over the years, and you know, it's hard to change, give me a little time, I'll try to be straightforward!" Wang Xu whispered to Nilou.
What Wang Xu didn't know was that his words of comfort to Nilou just now were still going around the bend, which made the anger in Nilou's heart, which only had a trace of fire, burn into a fire in an instant.
Just when Nilou was about to go crazy, suddenly, several lizard cavalry of the troll clan came out of the grass, because Nilou's quarrel became louder and louder, these lizard cavalry who were in charge of guarding had just heard Nilou's quarrel, so they secretly touched it, and at this moment, rushed out.
It's a pity that these lizard cavalry didn't see the trace of contempt at the corner of Wang Xu's mouth...... (To be continued.) )
