Chapter 63: The Plague Chapter—The Plague Lord
The Extraordinary Council of Lords had fourteen seats, which were arranged symmetrically around the iron table in the center of the hall and arranged symmetrically around the massive throne in the center. Counting the strange Dark Throne, there are a total of fifteen seats present, which strictly corresponds to the fifteen cathode stars of the rat myth, which is also another strong claim of the Absolute Darkness for its own legitimacy.
He believes that the other two guys have been assimilated by humans, and that the real rat people should have strong bodies and intelligent brains, and they also believe that barbarism and civilization can exist at the same time, so he encourages his rat people to become more selfish and cruel, but also let them actively learn the knowledge of humans, and only if they know their opponents well enough can they defeat their opponents.
On the left and right of the sages sit the two most powerful of the fourteen lords, the great knight Shang Chi on the left symbolizes the peak of force among the nezumen, and the great sage Blacktail on the right represents the strongest spell among the nezumen. Shang Chi's main task is to take charge of the black warriors under his command for the Absolute Strange, it can be said that Shang Chi is equivalent to the executor of the Extraordinary Decree among the rat people, and the unsmiling appearance with the giant sword that flashes with cold light makes people shudder, and everyone is away from him on weekdays, for fear of angering the great knight.
Compared to Shang Chi, the Great Sage Black Tail was much more approachable, but no one present would trust this cunning guy because of his harmless smile. Blacktail always has a smiling face in front of the public, and everyone has a very good impression of him because of his status as a broken guard, but only those who know him well know how insidious this guy is, and Blacktail has inherited the ambition and insatiability of the nezumi well. He would often use his status as a disruptive guard for his own personal gain, and then pretend that it was the will of the gods.
Jue Qi felt a pang of joy when he saw that Kuroo's opinion needed two votes to pass, he had always known what Kuroo was, and the fake will of the gods also made him extremely disgusted with Kuroo, and he knew that the other lords had the same attitude towards Kuroo. Rather than making their own moves to displease Kuroo, it's better to let them fight on their own, and finally mediate by themselves.
Blacktail looked at the disobedient lords, barely keeping a calm look at the anger in his heart, but his restless tail betrayed how angry he was. The guys who were respectful to themselves before have now jumped back, and their allies are silent at the moment.
"Instead of talking about this, let's talk about human beings, and I heard that there are contradictions within human beings right now." Jeremonial broke the silence of the council and shifted the conversation in another direction.
"So what are you waiting for! Killing—The Hour of Killing has arrived! A shrill voice came from the darkness, speaking of a distorted-looking monster, he was the most unpopular existence in the dark realm, on the surface he and his people lived by breeding pests to extract insect oil, but most of their wealth came from destroying the pests caused by the other nezumi in the realm, but there were also some nezumi who believed that these pests were actually bred by them, and then used it to earn more money.
"But if we attack rashly, those human beings will put aside their prejudices and point the finger at our common enemy."
Hearing this, Jueqi couldn't help but sigh that it was fortunate that there were some guys with normal brains under his subordinates, so he motioned for this smart subordinate to continue.
The man nodded in return and continued, "We can't fight against all the humans, we need to exacerbate the hatred between them, or choose one of the humans to provide them with the necessary assistance. ”
"Then why did you send someone from the Assassin Court to assassinate the human lord in the first place? Just to help those guys hiding in the mountains and forests? The roar of rage came from a more burly nezumi than the stunning, twice the size of the nezumi present, and his sharp steel claws were even more permeable in the green light, and this creature gave people a sense of readiness at all times, as alert as a beast in a desperate situation.
"Humanity is competing for our advantage, I think he's right, there is no need to worry about the past since it happened." A terrifying-looking nezumi at the back of the table spoke, his fur faded to the shape of a skeleton, and his head adorned with the skulls of his enemies. He is the most belligerent of the nezumi, war and death are what he yearns for, and if war breaks out, the other council members will consider looting and loot, but he will only care about how much he and his men can kill.
"I heard that Xiao Guangzheng, the current ruler of the Southern Kingdom, is hated by his courtiers, maybe we can put some effort here."
"I've also heard that the human lords are very dissatisfied with their rulers."
"But the human army is too strong, and if we break out a war with them, it will greatly weaken our strength, so that we will not have enough strength to continue to expand, and we will even be swallowed up by other forces."
"If we can enslave humans, we can use their land and livestock to strengthen ourselves, then we can have more armies to occupy more land."
Jueqi couldn't stand these idiots continuing to make these brainless remarks, and knocked on the iron table vigorously and roared, "Is that thing around your neck an ornament?" Do we have to fight them? Disease! Disease is the most effective way to deal with human beings. ”
After hearing the strange words, all the lords looked at the plague lord, and the plague lord stood up at the strange signal, his fat body squirming in a disgusting way. His clothes were too obese to fit on, and the Plague Lord's body was constantly bleeding a viscous green liquid, all of which emitted a disgusting stench, and a strong smell of corruption wafted from his mouth as he spoke.
The lords and spell masters present were not uncomfortable with the plague breath, but the slave rats foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground after smelling the breath, and after a few convulsions, they did not move.
"The great god of curses has given me a new plague!" The Plague Lord took out a glass bottle from his trouser pocket, and the other lords could feel the dangerous aura contained in it even through the bottle, and all the people subconsciously stayed away from the Plague Lord after the Plague Lord took out this thing, they didn't want to be killed by this inexplicable liquid.
Seeing his lords behaving like this, he couldn't help but feel ashamed of them, as the great people of the curse gods, they were so cowardly, "You bunch of waste! Coward! Coward! Get me back to my place! The curse god will not harm his people, what are you afraid of?! ”
The lords reluctantly returned to their seats with a strange roar, for the contents of the bottle might not kill them, but the strange wrath would certainly take their lives. They knew that it would be impossible for the Lord of the Plague to bring this into the hall without the unsurprising permission, but they were still concerned about the unknown, and everyone stared at the thing warily, ready to flee the hall at any moment.
