585.Popock's First Escape from Death [27/30]

(Add more to the "Little Raga Who Don't Eat Fish" brother [2/5])

Lord Popock, the Overseer of the Black-Eyed Clan, who was on reconnaissance duty for the Scourge army, is now annoyed.

Don't care about this strange name that doesn't seem like a jackal at all, but rather has a bit of halfling semantics.

It is said that when Popok was born, his clan happened to catch an unlucky halfling explorer, who flattered the clan chief, Popock's father, and named the baby jackal, and survived this trick.

Although the explorer was stabbed to death by the grown Popoc after a few years of living as a wild man, on the bright side, Popoc did have a name that "stood out from the crowd" among the gnolls, and he ate a fresh "meat of wisdom" that night.

There are no disadvantages other than being a little old.

In short, the Popok Black-Eyed Overseer is a very powerful hunter and comes from a "noble" background, and although it is not one of the five most powerful clans in the Dark Mountains, it is also a large tribe of the mid-range.

As a result, the young Overseers were sent out to take on an important role in the plague.

It was supposed to take the Blackeye Clan's elite all the way to the vicinity of the Blackflame Pass to scout the formidable position and send back information for the Overseer that had emerged from Mossdale, but now, Lord Popock was very upset.

Because it has received disgusting failure messages twice in a row.

"What do you mean by 'no news'?"

In the Black-Eyed Clan's makeshift camp, Popok's roar echoed through its tent.

The young Overseer snarled at the two scout captains:

"The day before yesterday, the three teams of 100 went out and didn't come back! I sent two more cannon fodder teams this morning to check on the situation, but they still haven't returned! I just want to know where my soldiers have gone?

You two told me you didn't know!

Shouldn't they have already tested the position of the Black Flame Pass?

Even if they were all dead, at least a few lucky guys should have come back to report the situation, right?

Although those guys are not the elite of our clan, they are just cannon fodder for the vassal clan, but there are a total of twelve hundred teams under my command! Hell, half of my soldiers are gone, and they didn't bring back any useful information! ”

It is well known that when a gnoll is irritable, it is at its most dangerous, and the scout captain who was scolded did not even say anything, lest his Overseers use him as a target for anger.

After Popoc had finished growling, the other old scout captain spoke:

"It's not that there is no news at all, this morning someone saw smoke in the direction of the mountain pass, as if it was fighting, and the time is also comparable to the second scout we sent, but the problem is that the place is not the Black Flame Pass at all.

It's a nameless plateau, and it's still a long way from the Black Flame Pass.

Perhaps the Blood Pact vampires guarding there sent their hounds to stop our soldiers.

I suggested last night that you don't rush to send more people just yet."

"Huh?"

Overseer Popock stared at his subordinates in displeasure, and roared:

"So, you mean it's all my fault?"

"No, no, it's those unlucky stupid people who are not in good spirits, and it has nothing to do with you, but what now?"

The old scout, well versed in the art of conversation, changed the subject and asked:

"Although we have lost a lot of people, at least it proves that the Black Flame Pass is not easy to fight, and the vassal clans are not good at fighting, but they are fast and there is a wolf, but even then they have not been able to escape.

I think it would be better to send a message to the Archoverseer of Hurley, who is in charge of us, asking the Whiptail Clan or the Biting Bone Clan to send more warriors, and we'll stop here and wait for them to come and join us. ”

"That's right, Overseer, our clan is originally a clan attached to the Whiptail Clan, although there are some things like the Black Plague, but we also have to live until we can reap the benefits."

The other scout captain snorted twice and dissuaded:

"When the old chief sent you out, he specially reminded us that we should be a little more reckless, a little more obscene, whether we can grab things is secondary, and keeping the clan is the most important thing. We've lost so many people that we can't send it now! ”

"Dog thing!"

The persuasion of the two scout captains made Bopock very angry,

It is a young and courageous jackal, the last time the black plague happened was already the business of his grandfather's generation, his father had been mediocre all his life, and he finally caught up with the good era of the black plague, so he should learn from the king of biting bones and use his own knife to grab the fertile land under the sun for the jackals.

The ambitious Overseer Popock would not have listened to the "weak" rhetoric of his two subordinates.

It yelled:

"They all want to preserve their strength, how can the Black Plague win? The Lord of Biting Bones failed because other clans wanted to reap the benefits and were unwilling to fight to the death with cowardly humans! Yes! How can you do a good job with insects like you?

If you are afraid, take the men out of your own hands, go back to the old man, and I will take the courageous young men of the clan to win glory!

Both the Biting King and the Whiptail King will reward me for this.

Get lost!

Get out of here!

I don't need fools like you in my clan. ”

It punched and kicked the two cowardly old scout captains away, and then let its guards blow the horn, intending to take the remaining five centurians to the Black Flame Pass to personally reconnoiter a wave.

The two old scout captains are not used to it, they are the real cronies of the black-eyed old chief, can they stand this anger? After being reprimanded by the young chief of this ruined family, he left here with the two hundred elites of the Black-Eyed Clan without saying a word.

Popok wants to take people to death and no one stops them, anyway, the soldiers under his command are all ragtag troops, and the real clan elite is in the hands of the old chief.

On top of that, the old chief was not the only child.

Popock also has a more stable and intelligent sister who is not lacking in courage, the female status in the Gnoll clan is not low, there are also many female gnoll chiefs in the Dark Mountains, and the Claw Clan, one of the five major clans, is directly ruled by the Mother of the Beast's Den.

These are probably the only advantages of the Gnoll civilization.

But the young gnoll overseer Popock Blackeye is reckless, but it's not stupid.

It said that it wanted to make a meritorious deed, but in fact it was still afraid of death, so it walked in the center of the five centurians with its guards, and advanced towards the Black Flame Pass at a very slow pace, but before it could go out of two hours, the forward scout sent terrible news.

"What do you say? What's ahead? A flag? What kind of flag? ”

The scout's upside-down report upset Popock, but looking at the scout's appearance, he was a little frightened, saying stupid things like "head", "tower", and "crazy human".

But there's something ahead for sure.

This made Popock come to his senses immediately, and he knew that this place was still some distance away from the Black Flame Pass, so no matter what was in front of him, it could not be the main force of the defenders of the Blood Alliance Knights.

If they ate the two centuriens they sent this morning, then they would definitely be still recuperating by now, and no matter how powerful the human army was, it would be impossible to defeat the gnolls without injury, and they would definitely not be in a full state.

Take the opportunity to steal a wave, maybe you can do something big!

Driven by this thought, Popoc immediately mounted his wolf decorated with various skulls, and roared and accelerated forward with the young gnolls who were willing to follow him.

Soon, it saw what lay ahead.

On a barren plateau, stood a towering banner, the blood-colored battle flag looked majestic, but it was the base of the banner that was terrifying.

The head!

It's all jackals' heads!

Maintaining a dying posture, they were cut down and stacked together, and some guys were carrying new heads and throwing them on them.

There were other flags around the damn high ground, like a goddamn flag-raising stand, and in the distance there was a convoy of "trophies" leaving, with blue golden flags on it, like a bunch of marauders taking away the dignity of the jackals.

Can a fierce gnoll can stand this kind of grievance?

Immediately, there were one roar after another, and even a wolf began to growl.

"Take us with you! Cunning Popock! ”

An angry gnolll hunter shouted:

"Those men are humiliating our warriors! Is that what you're looking at? Those are all vassals of our Black-Eyed Clan! Popock, do something! ”

"I'm going to kill them all!"

Popock roared.

But instead of rushing immediately, but with a hint of doubt in its anger, it turned to one of the hunters beside it and asked:

"Is this high ground an important position?"

"Well, it doesn't seem to be, the terrain is not dangerous, it's far from their position, there's no water or anything like that, it's not even a good place to camp."

"Then why are they putting up this flag here?"

"Well, I don't know, maybe it's just so we can see clearly from this direction?"

"So, weak humans are deliberately provoking us?"

"Well, I don't know, but it should be."

"Hmm"

Popock rode on the wolf.

It looked at the high ground in front of it with a suspicious gaze, and there were some defenders next to the high ground, who must have just experienced the battle and seemed to be tired and scattered, and some of them ran far away from the position and lay on the ground without knowing what to do.

Hey, so lazy, isn't it an elite soldier at first glance!

Maybe the real elite have retreated after the battle, so these garbage soldiers are left here to watch as bait.

As long as your own warriors rush a wave, they will definitely be able to take them down!

Ho Ho, I'm a great silver hunter!

Although the hunters under his command are a ragtag army, the hundred-man team beside him is the most powerful tracker of the Black-Eyed Clan.

The ferocity in Popoc's eyes became more and more presumptuous, and the hunting knife in his hand swung forward, shouting:

"Rush! Chop off their heads and pile them into towers! Bring that damn flag back to the Biting King! It will be the Black-Eyed Clan. No, it would be another victory for me Popok. ”

——

"Huh?"

The ruthless horseworm, who was pouting and digging herbs at the edge of the death arena, and the budding pig who consulted him on gathering techniques, felt the ground shake, and the two of them looked up sharply to see an "army" of jackals rushing towards them like a tide.

"! Is this monster swiping so fast? It's damning. ”

The horse fork insect didn't dare to delay, threw the herbs dug up, grabbed the pig who still wanted to shoot the black gun in the same place, and turned back and ran, silly boy, at this distance, the whiteboard gun in your hand can't even break the defense.

He ran to the position with Meng Xin, grabbed the calculation orb and shouted towards the high ground:

"Brother Meow! Quick, organize the defense! The Gnoll is here again, this time with a lot of people! It looks like there are four or five hundred. ”

"Don't play, come to work, get to work!"

Brother Meow had also seen the gnolls attacking in front of him.

He lifted his axe and planted the seeds to summon the Bloody Wood Treeman, and shouted in the team framework, and the other players who were resting immediately stopped fishing in the forum, and some of the offline players were also called up.

While they were organizing their defense on the high ground, the "artillery" that had been placed on the edge had already opened fire first.

The sight of fifty or sixty iron barrel boys firing together was amazing, and although the probability of exploding from the cannonball rubbed by Brother Loyalty's hand was not 100%, the explosion caused by so many projections at one time was enough to make the first wave of jackals suffer well.

"Blanch! Why didn't it explode? I planted mines there! ”

The "Medical Insurance God of War Competition", who was assigned to the first battle group, was stunned to watch the jackal cross his "mine array" unharmed, and immediately jumped up and scolded Brother Zhong's products for being unreliable, but just as the third "F" word came out, the five mines he planted were detonated almost simultaneously.

A terrifying shock threw the hapless gnolls into the air and created a massacre in the midst of the flying dirt and rocks.

The combined firepower of the small barrel and the mine stunned the first wave of jackals who rushed over, and the hunters who had already prepared to choose the "sniper position" had already begun the cruel harvest, they were all practiced, and they knew that ordinary bullets could not kill the gnolls with one shot, so they beckoned to their legs and lower bodies.

For a while, the screams resounded in the sky.

The morale of the ragtag army of gnolls quickly dropped, and they lost dozens of men before they could get close to the high ground, which made these warriors from small clans quickly lose their fighting spirit.

And the Bobock Overseer knew that it could not be stopped at this time, and that if it stopped, it would collapse, so it gritted its teeth and took on the responsibility of attacking with its elite soldiers.

The players didn't expect that this wave of monsters brushed out the elite of a silver jackal commander, and accidentally killed seven or eight of them in an instant by the gnolls who pounced, so startled that the newcomers screamed, and instinctively retreated back to make the formation chaotic, and the angry meow brother couldn't wait to cut a few bastards who confused the military heart on the spot to "march the law".

But already like this, one can only think of remedy.

Fortunately, there were a lot of veterans in the first battle group, and there was almost no need for Brother Woo Meow to remind them, and the dormitory group of six people rushed towards the gap, and the combination of the cloud and mist technique and psionic lightning of the car and pigeon treasure bought time for the defenders.

"Kill! Fuck, don't panic! Kill Lao Tzu! ”

Brother Meow kicked on the trembling new "ugly cow" of level 1, telling him to get up and shoot quickly, and he himself rushed forward with the Vam decapitator and slashed them one by one.

I have to say that this black-eyed elite is quite extraordinary, much more powerful than ordinary gnolls, if it weren't for the quick reaction of the veterans, this wave would really be washed up by them.

"Brother Meow, call for support! We've got enough scores! Shout the hussars to come and rush in a wave! ”

Ah Ru, who was killing below, turned around and shouted, but was immediately rejected by Brother Woo Meow.

"We can withstand it, we don't need support! You little idiot, save your score for summoning NPCs in your next rotation! This is only the second wave of monsters that have brushed out the silver level, and I can't imagine what bull ghosts and snake gods will appear in the future.

After that, the intensity will definitely get stronger and stronger, and we can't hold it at all without NPCs. ”

Brother Meow knocked down a gnoll brute with an axe, and while making the bloodwood species, he said:

"Come on a few people, come with me to round up that silver jackal! Hey, this product is still a rarity, and it has a name, called Popock? Doesn't sound like a serious gnoll! ”

The battle for Blood Banner Heights ended after twenty minutes.

In fact, when more than half of Bobock's elite soldiers were killed or wounded, the morale of the ragtag army had collapsed, especially after Popock himself was entangled by Brother Woo Meow himself, and the surrounding gnolls began to take the initiative to retreat.

Because of the existence of the combat zone, these gnolls were able to escape a certain distance and leave without any problems, but most of the enemy was annihilated under the high ground.

It's another victory, just as glorious as this morning's, but Meow Meow and the other veteran players who have dealt with the Plague Clan in the Battle of the Swamp aren't as happy as Moxin.

They knew that these two groups of gnolls were not elite at all, and the real challenge was yet to come.

But what is surprising is that Brother Woo Meow missed this time, and the silver jackal escaped from him, which made the battle on the high ground not a perfect victory, but Brother Woo Meow himself was not disappointed.

On the contrary, this guy has a strange smile on the corner of his mouth all the time.

Popok, who had survived, would ride on his own wolf, and he didn't know why he was alive, but he almost killed the mountain man with the axe.

But it feels like it's lucky enough for itself, and it's been lucky since it was a child.

This thought continued until it had completely fled the battlefield, when a small man in a hood suddenly stopped in front of Popock, who was supposed to be a jackal, but was small in stature and did not look like a warrior of the Dark Mountains at all.

"Hey, the gnolls up there, your name is Popock, right? I'm the new patriarch of the Bloodclaw Clan, serving the legendary 'Virtuous Wolf', you can call me Nash, I just saw that 'wonderful' battle.

Especially when you leave your army and run away, it's so handsome. ”

The little man took the initiative to speak, and threw a packet of herbs to Popok, who was injured all over his body.

But Popok did not appreciate it, and he scolded:

"What Bloodclaw Clan? What virtuous wolf? Haven't heard of it! Get out of the way, I need to bring the intel back. ”

"That's right! Bring accurate information back to your leader. ”

The dwarf gnolls reminded:

"The enemies who guard the Blood Banner are the Transansians, who have slain all the gnolls in their land, each one a butcher stained with the blood of our people, but they are very powerful, Lord Popock.

You've seen them for yourself.

You have to ask your superiors to send the real elite over, otherwise it will be difficult to defeat them, and the sooner the better, they are gathering a large army"

"No, they're not powerful at all, they're no match for the Black Plague at all!"

Popock shouted, leaving Nash speechless.

It can only explain to:

"No, you can't say that! If they are not great, then how can you explain your failure when you are defeated by them? Lord Popock, these Transans are powerful, which is why you will fall into the trap if you are not careful.

As long as the people above send the elite, these bastards who dare to provoke the Black Plague will die a miserable death.

I'm not telling you, I'm a gnoll from Transasia, and I'm only here to seek revenge on my people by powerful compatriots, and I'll give you clues about them.

But I don't want my existence to be known to anyone else.

I'm a loser after all, and that's not an honorable thing.

If you need intelligence help later, leave a blood-stained stone here, and I'll show up to talk to you that night, and it's time for you to go.

Remember!

You must bring back great people as soon as possible, otherwise these guys will switch guards and return to Transasia, and you don't want to see your enemies so free, do you? ”

"Hey, I'm the mighty Popok Blackeye, I don't need your help at all, don't teach me to do things, Nash of the Bloodclaw Clan!"

Popok threw down a cruel word, but still took the herb bag that Nash picked up and handed it to him again, and watched Popck leave, Nash's face was full of disdain.

Horse-stepping!

Don't all the gnolls of the Dark Mountains have any brains?

Do you want to teach Lao Tzu this truth of deception? Sure enough, Master Hogg was right about these idiots, these guys have muscles in their brains, no wonder they fail four times in a row!

Alas, if it weren't for the smooth progress of Lord Murphy and Master Hogg's big plan, or for his own "Chieftain Trial", if it weren't for the lack of a bait with a bit of weight, I would have asked the mighty Mr. Meow to cut off your idiot's head just now!
