Chapter 144: Troll's Troubles
The moonlight on the top of the mountain was cold and sad, and tonight there was a breeze that blew away the maddening stench of Xiudesen, and the air was rarely pure. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Liang Ke has been sitting on that stone for a long time, like a statue, looking up at the moon in the sky, not knowing what he is thinking.
"Your Excellency!"
The troll Piedro summoned Liang Ke back from his fugue, Liang Ke retracted his gaze, pointed to the stone opposite him, and said, "Piedro, sit down." β
"My ......, my lord"
Liang Ke waved his hand and continued, "The biggest and brightest star in the sky, what do you trolls call it?"
"We?"
"Yes, troll names. β
"Tuga! means Mama Star. β
"Tuga!" Liang Ke nodded, and then continued: "In my hometown, everyone calls her the moon, and in the poems of wandering poets, she is often compared to mother. You see, we have something in common, don't we?"
"Adult ......"
Liang Ke waved his hand again to interrupt Piderow's words.
"Looking at this moon in our hometown, it's not so big or so bright, so when I first came to this strange place, I fell in love with looking at the moon. It's so beautiful that I can quietly admire it, and I can also say something to it to relieve my loneliness, just like a child is spoiled by his mother.
Later, I got to know Sister Tyse, she was kind and warm, I used to think that she was all I had, but ...... I lost her, and Brother Batu, the old village chief, and those unknown friends, but from that time on, I no longer had to look at the moon to relieve my loneliness, for I was with you, Tucker, and later with Braggett, Grandpa Simon, and my two beautiful, intelligent fiancΓ©es.
In the beginning, you called me Master, and I taught you the basic martial arts. After resolving the conflict with the dwarves, your life is better, perhaps out of gratitude, you and those people have always followed me, whether it is in the wind or rain, we have never abandoned, now that I have a title and territory, you call me Lord instead. Actually, it seems to me that it is just a title, and I have always believed that you are all my most precious and cherished relatives in this world, and even if we are of different races, I do not want to lose any of you, and for this reason, today I am guilty of a mistake that a general should not have committed.
I shouldn't have let you endure this dilemma against your people, and I don't blame you for your performance, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to attack my people. It's all my fault, and since I have discovered this mistake, I have to correct it, because, after all, we are going through war, after all, I am responsible for the life and death of all soldiers, including you, my closest brother, of course. β
Speaking of this, Liang Ke took a deep breath and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers.
"Pidero, my brother. If you decide to return to the clan, then, tomorrow at dawn, I will ask Xiudesen to send you to the bottom, I can see that the Blue Flame Demon is not small, and I believe that he will be happy to accept your return. When you have established a foothold in the Demon Clan, I will secretly send your relatives back in batches to reunite you, and if you still like to live on this continent, then tomorrow morning, you will take everyone back to Jincang, or return to Gega Forest, and live a peaceful life. β
"Sir, don't trolls have a third way, are you starting to doubt Pidero's loyalty?"
The tall troll cried into tears and asked Liang Ke with a roar.
"Nope!"
Liang Ke pondered for a long time, gritted his teeth and glared at Piderot who was kneeling at his feet, and roared hysterically: "You must know that once the human race and the demon race start a full-scale war, even if you and I both draw out our souls and enshrine them in the Temple of Light, no one will believe in our loyalty, so no matter what, you can't appear on this battlefield, this has nothing to do with my trust." Besides, it's only by hiding that you can survive safely, understand?"
After saying this, Liang Ke seemed to have been drained of all his strength, staggered to his military tent, and after plunging into it, he never came out. Leaving only a lonely and helpless Piderot, kneeling on the cold stone, looking up at the starry sky, weeping silently.
In the valley, the handsome Blue Flame Demon General Pinto also stayed awake all night, and he was leading his demon generals to discuss the battle plan.
"General!"
The short and fat troll Mugeya stood on the bench with a big belly, and while fanning the wind with the palm leaves in his hand, he wiped his sweat and said: "In this sneak attack, although we suffered a lot of losses, the plank road was destroyed by them in several places, and the demon cubs also died a lot, but for our army of 100,000, this is nothing. And, during the battle, I found some problems. β
"Oh? Muguya, you tell me more carefully. β
The young Pinto is not only strong in force, but his ability to know people well has also been passed on by Uncle Sean. This fat guy is the treasure he picked out from the many men. In addition to being super sensitive to danger, this guy also has the ability to be good at calmly observing and judging.
"General, colleagues, I don't know if you've noticed, most of the people who come to attack us are troll warriors, there are very few humans, only a few scattered, and then there are their mounts are the scales of that despicable and shameless Hudson. β
"Hmph, you still have to say that, everyone saw that I was supervising the work on the boardwalk at the time, and I also slaughtered a Xiudesen Dance with my own hands. β
Mugeya ignored the triangular-eyed Kurulmo and continued to explain his point.
"Judging by the course of the battle, it is not difficult for us to see some of the following facts. First, those knights were quite unfamiliar with the Dance of Hudson, which was the reason why the generals could easily restrain many enemies after launching the War Thorn Aura; second, the weapons and armor used by the trolls were extremely sophisticated, and they dared to use that kind of narrow long knife to intercept the dragon hunting crossbow, I guess, that kind of long knife should be mixed with rare magic materials such as mythril or pure gold; third, although they were powerful, their number was very small, and I observed that there were no more than two hundred people in total; and fourth, those people did not seem to know much about our situation, at least in the face of the Thorn Aura, they seemed helpless, and could only flee in panicγ β
Saying so many words in one breath was really a burden for Mugeya, Pinto frowned and waited for him to pour a few large mouthfuls of coconut water before asking, "So what is your analysis?"
Mugeya wiped his mouth and replied seriously: "I consider whether there are the following possibilities, one is that Sidsen found humans as his allies after escaping, or it may be that he is using humans as his life-saving card, and second, our remaining clansmen have begun to integrate into the human race, and the human race has used their powerful force despicably, and of course they have paid a corresponding price. Although our people are good in the human world, they still have not forgotten their own blood and race, which I can clearly see from the troll's struggling eyes, and then there is that our opponents are not strong enough, even if they know that this blood connection is inseparable, they can only choose to rely on our people to fight, they choose to take the initiative to attack us, they must be trying to delay our offensive pace and buy time for the arrival of reinforcements. General, these weaknesses, if we take advantage of them well, this war will be very beneficial to us. β
Mugeya has to be praised for his analytical skills, his analysis is almost close to the truth. Pinto looked at the sweaty Mugeya, nodded approvingly, and motioned for him to sit down.
"Mugya's analysis is, I think, very accurate, there must be a pitiful number of enemies on the top of the mountain, and that damned Hudson and his new ally can't tell the truth. Sadly, we have too few flying units to bargain with the Dragons and the Dance of Hudson.
However, our army will soon extend the plank road to the top of the mountain, and at that time, the demon warriors will flood every inch of their land like a tide, and we can afford to wait for another three days, three days.
Right now, what disturbs me the most is the kind of rock that will explode. Originally, I thought that kind of alchemy was unique, but this afternoon, two more fell silently from the top of the mountain, they were like two drops of water, but after they fell, they set off a monstrous wave. Although fortunately, our warriors were not injured, but if this powerful alchemy product has been installed, then we will face huge battle losses. β
Pinto's expression was serious, but the young demon general's face could no longer be found dazed and fearful, he was just telling his officers an unavoidable fact, and then discussing ways to deal with it.
"Your Excellency, General!"
The triangular-eyed Kurulmo said, "These things are indeed powerful, and I was on the mountain wall this afternoon and saw the potholes they had blown out of the ground. However, this kind of thing seems to be different from magic, and each of them has the same detonation time and power, which means that the enemy can't control this energy, and if we react quickly enough to dodge this thing before it explodes, we won't be harmed. β
There are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, and Kurumo has also accurately analyzed the shortcomings of this alchemy product, and found a way to deal with it as quickly as possible.
Pinto nodded again and muttered, "Hopefully they won't have a lot of these things......"
Before Pinto's words fell, a loud "boom" was heard, and at the same time, a scorching wave of air instantly lifted the tent away, and the unprepared generals were overturned to the ground, but fortunately, the explosion point was far away, and no one was injured.
"What's going on?"
Shaun Sr. was the first to get up from the ground, shielding his nephew behind him, and loudly questioning the equally confused guard.
"Enemy attack!"
It wasn't until everyone got up from the ground that the sharp bone whistle was blown, and Pinto's personal guards guarded the generals in the middle, slowly approaching the point of the torch-lit explosion.
When Pinto came out of the crowd with his riding gun and the Giant Tooth, he finally saw that the so-called enemy attack was a joke at all, and hundreds of demon warriors were holding various weapons, staring vigilantly at a troll that had been tied into a cocoon.
Pinto exerted his legs angrily, and the giant tooth monster under his ass immediately understood his master's intentions, opened his bloody mouth and shook his head to let out a loud roar around, and the noisy demon soldiers instantly closed their mouths.
"Your name is Piderow, and the daring human used to call your name before me. Come to my barracks late at night, do you want to die, or do you want to be a messenger for your human master?"
Pinto leaned over to stare at Piedro as he fell to the ground, expressionless as he waited for an answer.
"Can you let me stand up first, I don't think the arrogant demons need to show their tallness in such a way. β
Pinto was slightly stunned, then put away his rifle and ordered the guards to pick up Piedro.
"Blue Flame Demon, you already know that my name is Piedero, so please say your name as well. Pidero had no sense of being a captive, and stood there like a javelin, with an aggressive gaze.
"Hahahaha! Good! Very good! I thought the trolls had become slaves of humanity, and it seems that you haven't lost the last of your pride. My name is Pinto Misu, so what about you? What's your full name?"
"Pidro Dulute!"
"Oh, so you're a descendant of the Dulutai family?"
"Yes! I used to think that no one would ever ask for my name again, and that the glory of the Dulute family would never again shine in my heart, hehe! I don't know if it was God's mercy or God's mockery, and I could hardly believe my ears when Lord Pinto mentioned this holy name before me to-day. A thousand years have passed, and our people are still there. β
Piedro closed his eyes as he said this, and two lines of hot tears rolled down, dripping wet the breastplate and the dirt on the ground.
As a qualified general, Pinto was not swayed by Pidero's performance, and he ordered the guards to bring Pidero back to the repaired tent, and the generals gathered their men and dispersed in an orderly manner.
