Chapter 1007: The Enemy Meets Extraordinarily Red
There are all kinds of indications that there is another black hand behind the boar people, and the mother of the Razor Clan, Karga Thorn, is just a pawn in front of the stage.
In Sarren's opinion, the Boar People race really has no value worth extracting their mental energy.
According to the natural laws of the Shadow Realm, the more achievements a person has made in his life, the more mental energy he can provide after entering the Shadow Realm, and these achievements have nothing to do with good or evil.
The position of the boar people is awkward, and they are not up or down between good and evil.
Let's say they are good, except for the group of boar people warriors during the ancient war, in the tens of thousands of years after that, I have never heard of any outstanding people in the wild boar people.
But let's call them evil...... These guys are not really big villains, at most only a few high-level leaders led by Karga Thorn Rib barely meet the standard.
Salaan wasn't sure if the self-proclaimed noble and high-minded Denasius could look up to such an incapable race, and until now he still had doubts about the identity of the trader behind them.
[It's useless to think too much, anyway, it's about to touch the core of the event, so let's continue to walk this last stretch of the road.] γ
As the barrage said, there is no point in thinking too much until you have the most critical piece of intelligence.
Looking at the two boar-man priests who had gradually fallen silent and began to work with their heads, Salaan and Valera hesitated slightly, and finally gave up on their plans to torture them for more information.
Although these two people are also considered to be the top leaders of the Razor Clan, they definitely don't have as much information as Karga Thorn Rib, who has an overview of the overall situation, and it is better to use the old method to capture the thief and capture the king first.
Continuing deeper into the muddy swamp of the winding wet, Salajan and Valera finally came to a relatively dry plateau, where a large hut in the style of a wild boar man appeared before them.
Valeera: "This is supposed to be Calga Thorn's quarters, right?" It looks a little more 'luxurious' than the rotten shacks of the other boar people. β
Of course, it's only relatively.
From the perspective of the High Elves, the entire Razor Swamp is a slum with no beauty to speak of.
The individual strength of the wild boar people is very poor, and they are not even as good as the bear monsters with relatively primitive living conditions in the ash valley next door.
This was further confirmed by the sight of the ugly boarman old woman adorned with a large number of bone fragments.
Although she didn't turn on the Eagle Eye Technique to see Karga Thorn's level in detail, judging from her life intensity, this guy definitely didn't enter the legendary threshold, and at most he was a high-level elite.
As the head of the clan is still such a weak chicken, the other wild boar people can be imagined.
In a world as martial as Azeroth, which is full of martial virtues and is full of dangers, a leader cannot guarantee that he is the strongest in his country, but he must at least have the most basic ability to protect himself.
Even the seemingly weak Terenus Minahir was skilled in archery when he was young, and only gradually retired from the battlefield when he got older.
In some major battles involving the core interests of the state, in order to boost morale, the king would often personally rush to the front to participate in the battle.
This is the main reason why the death rate of the kings of Azeroth has remained high.
The same was true during Quel'Thalas's founding years, when the two Sun Kings since Darth Rema died early in order to secure the territory they had seized from the Amani trolls.
It wasn't until the throne passed to Anastria, and after the battle of the trolls that went down in history, that Quel'Salas truly gained a foothold in the Forest of Eternal Song.
Skipped over the obese Calga Thorn Ribs, Sarian glanced at the Boar Priests and Elder Guards around her, and none of them had entered the legendary high-end combat power.
When Salian and Valera arrived at the Elder's hut, Karga Thorn was presiding over a large ritual of desecration of souls.
The gray-black power of death gathered in mid-air from the hands of the boar priests who had each taken their place in the circle, and poured into the soul of a translucent brown-yellow boar.
Valeera's eyes widened slightly, and she asked in the soul link channel with a look of surprise, "Could it be that the boar soul is ......?"
"Hmm."
Sarren's expression was also a little weird: "If nothing else, it should be Agamagan...... But why is it so small? β
In his heyday, Agamagan's body was as large as a mountain, with sharp thorns all over his body, and any enemy who tried to attack him would be injured by his thorns first.
And at present, the suspected Agamagan who was forcibly lifted into the air by the wild boar priests was only the size of an ordinary wild boar, and there were no barbs on his body, so he looked unremarkable.
Sarren: "The appearance of the soul is usually the most realistic, and it is difficult to fake the strength of one's soul without special techniques. β
"The reason why Aga Magan behaved so weakly should be the result of long-term suppression by traitors such as Karga Thorn Rib, which is not what he should have been."
Valiera nodded knowingly, "So what are we going to do?" While they were engrossed in preparing for the ceremony, take the opportunity to take down Karga Thorn Rib? β
"There's no hurry."
Saleien turned his head to look in the direction they had come.
"Agamagan has persevered for so long, and he will not lose his soul because of such a ritual."
"There are still too many people near this big thatched hut, once the fight starts, it is easy to trigger a chain reaction and attract all the wild boar people outside, I don't want to be blocked in this stinky quagmire by a large number of wild boar people."
"Let's wait for Oni's side to start acting, I'm sure she won't let me down."
β¦β¦
When SalΓ©an and Valera sneak up near the Elder's hut, Onexia also comes up with a countermeasure.
With the help of Stellagosa, the Black Dragon Princess is teleported to a minotaur outpost called Camp Taurazu at the entrance to the Mogaure Savannah, not far from here.
Through the tokens given to each of his companions by Sarjan, the eloquent Onexia was able to convince the Minotaur leader stationed there to believe that the boar people of the Razor Swamp were planning to attack the Taurazu camp.
Saljan had played a great role in the great migration of the Minotaurs, and the chiefs of the three major Minotaur clans were grateful to him, and many people below knew this High Elf who was kind to the Minotaur clan.
Onexia's words are not all deception, the boar people do have the intention of taking the initiative to attack, but they are not ready to completely turn their faces with the minotaurs.
Over the past two years, the friction between the boar and the minotaur in the southern part of the barrens has been increasing, and both sides have become angry, and a slight pinch can achieve the results that Onexia expected.
The leader of the Taurazu camp was a veteran hunter named Jon Stareye, and after receiving a warning from Onexia, he immediately ordered a scout team of hunters and druins to lead the team in the direction of Razorbosh.
Onexia and Stellagossa follow the sizable scout team, using the Soul Link, which has not yet been disconnected by the distance, to communicate with Gianna and Tina Gossa who remain outside the Razorswamp.
At Onexia's instructions, Gianna and Tina Gossa carefully harassed the boarmen in front of the Razorbore Gate through long-range spells.
According to the standard of barrage, the boar people who are not eligible to live in the Razor Swamp are the lowest-ranking poor people in the population, corresponding to the untouchable Dalits in the class division of the third brother.
These low-level boarmen, who have no armor on their bodies and rudimentary weapons, have extremely low individual combat effectiveness, and their only advantage is that they are large enough in number.
Due to the population density, the wild boar people have a strong herd mentality.
Once someone takes the lead, other unknown boar people can easily be coerced into doing so...... Even if they don't even know what's going on.
Gianna and Tina Gossa had a good grasp of proportion, and did not cause mass casualties, but only alerted the boar people by attacking out of nowhere.
When Onexia and Stellagossa arrived at the scene with a team of minotaur scouts led by Jon Stareye, they were immediately spotted by the suspicious boarmen.
As the so-called enemies meet, they are very red-eyed.
The already contradictory Minotaur and the Boar Man no longer need any teasing, and when they see that the other party has put on a fighting posture, they immediately acquiesce that the enemy has the intention to attack.
In order to protect himself, Jon Stareye ordered the scouts to raise their weapons and prepare to meet the enemy, and at the same time asked the herald to inform the main force of the rear team to speed up the march and come to support as soon as possible, and further informed the Grand Chief Kane Bloodhoof who was far away in Thunder Bluff.
After the four women reunited, under their covert manipulation, the wild boar and the minotaur seemed to be fighting fiercely, but there were no real casualties on both sides, but the scene looked very intense.
This situation further stimulated the fighting spirit of the two sides, and the boar people, who had the advantage in numbers but were defeated one after another, began to call for reinforcements, and the signal for help soon reached the interior of the Razormarsh.
After a riot from the outside in, Karga Thorn and other high-ranking officials, who were holding a desecration ceremony in the center of the swamp, finally received a report from outside.
"Phew! It's Minotaur again! β
The old boar-man lady Kargar rudely spat a mouthful of thick phlegm into the ground, and ordered the priests around her with a very arrogant attitude: "I don't care what you do, stop those damned stupid cows from me, and never let them enter the sacred razor swamp!" β
'Divine...... ? β
Some of the boar priests who were at odds with Calgame and the boar people secretly pouted: 'With all these blasphemous experiments you have carried out, can the Razor Swamp really be considered sacred?' β
In any case, at this stage, Karga Thorn's authority within the clan is absolute, and all those who dare to oppose her are mercilessly buried in the mud.
Since the Mistress had given the order, the priests had no choice but to do so, even if they did not want to.
The discipline of the boar people was very poor, and a large group of hulala left the dry high ground where the elder's hut was located, and set out out of the swamp in a mess, ready to complete the task given by Calga.
Ten minutes later, only Karga Thorn Rib himself and a dozen muscular guards were left near the elder's hut, which had been crowded with hundreds of people.
Sarjan, who had been waiting patiently, immediately said to Valilla through the soul link channel: "It should be Oni who has started to act, let's move too." β
"Valeera, it's up to you to take her, I'll stay behind and sweep the battle for you, and make sure to defeat the enemy with one blow."
