867. When the struggle of the individual comes into conflict with the course of history...
In the face of Xu Gesen's rhetorical question, Lady Trace, who was known for her resourcefulness, the best theologian and quite outstanding historian on the continent, was speechless for a while.
Well, it is true that Shügeson can withdraw his troops, but what about the consequences?
It will be abandoned as a sinner of the Jackal in an instant, and Gelman Bitern, who is launching the epic Waaaagh on the Genoa Peninsula at this time, will also immediately ascend to the throne, and the slaughter and conquest carried out by the Biting Bone King there is already very much in line with the appetite of the Lord of Hunting, once it becomes the Chosen Hunting God, I am afraid that the awakening cycle of the evil god will be compressed to less than a week.
Compared to the complete preparations for war that Transencia had made at this time, that place in the Genoese Peninsula was truly unsafe, and once the Black Plague really burned there, the subsequent effects would be absolutely catastrophic.
Therefore, on the whole, Tracey had to come to a very bad conclusion that letting Hygeson maintain the status quo was the best solution for the direction of the war.
Murphy did not comment on the issue.
He would have observed Hygson in front of him, seeing the hammer in his left paw and the paper from Hogg in his right paw.
There seems to be a hidden metaphor to this scene.
It represents that a certain kind of life of Ugson may assume Hogg's responsibilities at this time, but unfortunately fate is not kind to it, and the flickering blood light on his body already represents that Ugson's fate has been fixed.
Like Murphy, it can only follow the established path until the end comes.
However, the gnolls in front of him don't seem to be too dissatisfied with this, after all, judging from the gnoll's outlook on life and values, dying in the last battle in a fierce war is not an unacceptable ending.
In fact, this is exactly the perfect ending that many Gnoll warriors have been striving for.
They have been savage for nearly a thousand years, and they have long since been unable to enjoy a quiet and peaceful life.
"I'm not here begging for mercy, two vampires."
Whitson took a straight stand, and in this slightly dimly lit chieftain's cave, he said to Murphy:
"I'm only going to have the first and last conversation with you just before the decisive battle begins, and in the custom of your civilized camp, it's more appropriate to call it an ultimatum, and perhaps I should have asked you to surrender at this point, or you should have sternly asked me to lay down my arms.
But we all know it's just a waste of time.
So, skip the process of insulting each other and get down to business.
In addition to the full members of the Splittal Clan that I have mobilized, the Bloodscar Clan will also send a reinforcement army to enter the battlefield of Transencia in the future, and I asked the Haas Overseers to send a letter to Chief Amot, and now that the battle on the Genoa Peninsula has opened, the Bloodscar Clan is eager to see Transncia also in the flames.
The pious chieftain will most likely not refuse this plea, and it will send some of the hunt's most fanatical warriors to your defenses, and your job is it
Kill them!
No!
Kill them all. ”
Xu Gesen said in a bloody and cold tone that didn't care much:
"The poison of the Lord of the Hunt has persecuted the gnolls for more than a hundred years, and every warrior who is still alive is more or less willing to sacrifice his blood to the gods, and they consider it their fate, but that is only the error of the barbaric tradition to the extreme.
I can't imagine what the future of the Gnoll society will be, but I'm sure as long as these zealots are around, it will be difficult for my people to break free from the shackles of the past and follow the wise wolves on their way to the future.
They are the locks of the old era, the door to the future, and it always takes courage to say goodbye, and we couldn't say goodbye to the past a hundred years ago, and now we naturally have to pay more.
I've gathered and brought to you the wildest, insaneest, and most ruthless gnolls I can find, the last thing I can do for my people as the Chosen Hunter, and probably the only thing I can do for my people.
Kill them!
Don't be merciful, and annihilate us under your defenses in the most efficient way you can imagine, but you can't expect me to remain neutral in this war, and I will do my best to command my army and all the forces at my disposal to break through your defenses.
Only then can I ensure that the eyes of the Lord of the Hunt remain on me.
Lady Trissy, I have heard that you are the best theologian on the continent, do you know why I am doing this? ”
"I know."
Tracey nodded, and said in a calm tone:
"This is indeed necessary, especially when a god-killing battle is about to take place at the same time as the Maginot show, and you have made yourself a 'sacrifice'. I retract my previous sarcasm, Your Excellency, in terms of courage and determination alone, you have surpassed 99% of the lives of this continent.
At least if it were me, I wouldn't have been able to make up my mind so decisively, and that would mean a pretty terrible ending, but in a sense, it's also quite glorious. ”
"You can devote part of your forces to the attack on the eastern sector of the Maginot Line in the decisive battle."
Murphy whispered:
"The area near the Crimean fortress and near the Wolf Castle, where you can throw in the most ferocious warriors, and I promise that at some point they will have an unbeatable end. As for myself, I'll be waiting for you in the middle of the section near the west side, Shügsen.
As you said, only one of you and I is destined to survive.
But with all due respect, I've always had a question, Hogg told me that you had a conversation with Philae, and it confirmed that after that conversation you had made up your mind and chosen your side in this war.
However, that doesn't explain your hatred for me
Is it just because I killed your sinister adoptive mother?
You should know that Portana doesn't really love you very much, she is just taking advantage of you, and it is precisely because of my activities that you have been free from soul to body, to be able to control your own life and protect your lover and children by the way.
From that point on, you should thank me. ”
"You want a child raised by Chief Potana to thank a murderer who killed Potana?"
Xu Gesen said quietly:
"I've heard that most vampires are a bunch of cold-blooded bastards, and when I saw that today, it seems that you vampires must have a generally bad mother-son relationship, so that you cold-blooded people don't understand what mothers mean to their children.
Portana wasn't really gentle with me.
But she sheltered me.
Nearly dying in the chaos within the Biting Bone Clan when I was a cub, it was Potana who saved me when I was at my weakest, risking an all-out war with the Biting Clan by hiding me in the Splitting Claw Clan, nurturing me with the most precious resources she could find.
She was like a clumsy sculptor with big dreams, trying to make me a talent in every effort she could, and she thought so highly of me that she neglected to raise her own children, turning them against her.
Whether she is using me or not as a tool, in the face of such nurturing grace is no longer a problem, there is never a merit in this world, I hate her for taking me on this path, but I must also remember her kindness.
Therefore, Potana is my mother!
And you killed her.
Isn't that enough for me to take revenge on you? ”
"For the others, if this is the reason why they raised their weapons against me, then I absolutely believe and will apologize to them before killing them, but you are not an ordinary person, Xu Gesen."
Murphy shook his head and said:
"Although I don't like the theory of fate myself, I have to admit that a guy like you is indeed the embryo of being born to do great things, so I am sure that there must be a deeper reason for your hatred of me besides Portana.
Let's say, we still have some time.
Before you and I draw our swords and engage in a life-and-death battle, I, as one of the fighting parties, may have enough reason to know the reasons for these possible takeaways from me.
What the hell do you think?
You should be honest with me, so that I will not be left without words to write on your epitaph. ”
"I'd love to tell you, but not right now."
Hugeson was in no mood to talk, and when it had said all that it had to say, it stood up and slung its weapon behind it, and carefully folded Hogg's paper and placed it in the armor on its chest.
It's going to take it back and read it.
As he left the cave, the hunting god turned around and said to Murphy, who was looking at it:
"When I'm killed by you, or you're about to send me to death, let's take a little more time to reveal the answer to this question. That's the end of this conversation, and the next time we meet, it's yours or dead.
Good luck, Lord Murphy. ”
"Well, good luck too, Your Excellency Shügsen."
Murphy also politely said goodbye to Hugeson, but he quickly thought of something, and said to Hugeson with his onomatopoeia technique:
"At a critical moment in the war, there will definitely be twilight cultists who are unwilling to be lonely and jump out, especially when you fall into the disadvantage, those guys will definitely not miss the opportunity to 'help' you. I can even guess what they will do to help you.
Especially after they saw for themselves the 'secret weapon' I had prepared for this decisive battle.
You sent the letter that helped us breach the R-9 base, and I can be sure of that, you hate the destroyers as much as I do.
But this time, when they're going to give you support. Don't say no!
Don't refuse, ask for as much as you can, as a legacy for Nanak and your children.
If I win, Lord Shügson, I promise to ensure that your widows and widows enjoy the life they deserve in the new age of the gnolls, but as a husband and father, you should also think more about your own family. ”
"If I win, I'll do the same to your family, Murphy."
Xu Gesen snorted and responded rather viciously:
"But it's a pity that you vampires won't have children."
The bastard just walked away, her teeth tickling with anger.
But Murphy knew that Hygson would think hard about his suggestion if he didn't refuse, so if he was lucky enough this time, he could still recover a small part of the "Creator's Legacy" that should have belonged to him from Dusk.
After Hygeson left the Smuggler's Woods with the remnants of the Bloodclaw Clan, Murphy also walked out of the chief's cave, and the little Nash shivered beside the group of golden, looking at Murphy bitterly, hoping that the Governor of Transencia would not blame his "bait plan" for failure.
It's not that I don't work hard, it's that Xu Gesen is too keen, and the tricks he learned from Hogg are really not enough.
"Nash, come here, there's a mission for you."
Murphy called to Chief Bloodpaw for Nash to come to him, and he said to Nash:
"You don't have to worry about me blaming you for what happened to Xu Gesen, I didn't have much hope for it, but there was a hint of concealment in the conversation that the guy just had with me. I want your Bloodclaw clan to get ready! ”
"What preparation? My lord. ”
Nash immediately looked up at Murphy with confidence, and then heard the vampire governor say to him:
"Prepare to receive the group of old and weak women and children of the Splitting Claw Clan!
There is a good chance that Hygeson will not let them participate in this decisive battle, it will consume the hottest and ruthlessest males of the Splittal Clan, and according to the tradition of the Gnolls, you will be the victors and will be eligible to inherit the females and cubs of the Splittal Clan.
That was Hygsen's final plan for the Splittal Clan, and it had brought them here in the hope of returning them to the birthplace of the Gnolls.
This guy also carried out his duties as a chieftain very implicitly, in short, the more than 100,000 old and weak women and children are your duty after the war, and I don't want to see them cause chaos after the war. ”
"Ahh
Nash was taken aback, and exclaimed:
"But the female gnolls of the Dark Mountains are much more powerful than our subspecies, and the strongest of us, Maltai Intelligence, is estimated to be difficult to beat those wild females, will we all be wiped out if we go to receive them?"
"Emmmm, I think this kind of thing will be arranged by Xu Gesen, right?"
Murphy rubbed his chin and looked at Nash's little man, and suddenly thought of the eighteen forbidden scenes of Nash surrounded by three or four big-shouldered gnoll women, and he was immediately happy.
With a wonderful pleasure he reached out and patted Nash on the shoulder, and whispered:
"But think about the good thing, now you will become the first subspecies of gnoll chieftain to have a wild gnoll wife, this is a face-saving thing on the mainland, with this group of women who can fight as your subordinates, your Bloodclaw Clan's development and occupation of the filthy swamp can really be implemented.
You must know that Hogg left the Bloodclaw Clan to you because he saw your potential, and this swamp will be shared with the goatmen in the future, with the current strength of the Bloodclaw Clan, that group of dark and crippled goatmen can eat you like cute sandwich cookies.
Therefore, for the revival of the local gnolls, you, the little chief, must take on a little more obligation, oh, by the way, I have a small pill from the royal family of the Songhai Empire, do you want to prepare it for you in advance? ”
"Well, although there is a high probability that you won't need it, there's nothing wrong with preparing in advance."
Nash pouted.
It quickly remembered one more thing, looked left and right, and said to Murphy in a low voice:
"Your Excellency the Governor, the hunters I have sent have figured out the road to Lake Shulpers in the Cato region, didn't you say that you could lead to trouble if necessary? Do we need to prepare in advance and be a leader for the army under Xu Gesen?
We can get them to the vicinity of Lake Sorpers, but we can't help with the attack on the Dorod fortress group.
Loren's hateful short-man marshal himself was there, their artillery so fierce, and the wolf vampires acting as scouts, that our men didn't dare get too close. ”
"Not for now."
Murphy glanced back in the direction of the Maginot Line, and he whispered:
"Xu Gesen has made a request, so as its designated lifelong enemy, I can't let that dog thing look down on me,
Let its armies come!
Let them attack the Maginot Line and die there.
The borders of Translasia will become the burial ground of the gnolls, the shame of the past hundreds of years will be completely washed away in this battle, and our hometown will become the beginning of a new history of the gnolls, and it will also become a rich and colorful stroke in the history of this continent.
This time, even if Loren is lucky, he doesn't have to bear the backstab from his allies.
But even if I hadn't intervened, the Bite Bone army from the direction of Genoa would have been enough for him to drink, but he was doomed to die at the hands of the Transansians, and the blood feud of Sico City must be avenged by our own hands!
If he dies unlucky at the hands of Gelman Biting, I will definitely make his tombstone into an easter egg for every warrior to go there and sip and get accomplishments.
Hehe, I hope that short man behaves decently."
"Murphy!"
While Murphy was talking to Nash, the Rose Knight Paliano, who had recently been resting on the Maginot Line, strode forward, and the handsome man who maintained his perfect demeanor held a glowing blood crystal in his hand, and he said to Murphy:
"Lord Pa Ying has sent news that he will gather the Godslayers in seven days! The decisive battle is coming. ”
"The decisive battle has come, Paliano."
Murphy looked at the handsome guy who made him feel a little threatened, and said:
"Let's go, go back to the defensive line, let me practice for you, and I wish both of us a victory."
