Section 12 The Throne
Section 12 The Throne
Wendini emerged from him once more, each of her four arms holding a sword of light. Then the angel lunged at him, his lightsaber intertwined with a powerful dance of death.
Eshurufat fought and retreated, using his long sword to defuse Wendini's attacks one by one. Now, he's finally starting to notice something he's never noticed before, and that's the force of the attack. Some of Wendini's attacks were so powerful that she had to retreat to rebalance her balance after a single move, while others were much weaker and he could easily block them.
If a third party were present, they would have been surprised by this strange scene. A human in red armor with his eyes closed, wielding a longsword at a speed that surpasses that of a normal human, fights an enemy that does not exist. But although the opponent was fake, the power of the long sword was real, and the giant sword wielded at high speed brought gusts of strong wind, causing the surrounding grass and trees to shake. And the wood and weeds that unfortunately touched the blade of the sword were immediately broken in two.
"The time is up, master. In her head, Carrie's voice rang out, and Wendini vanished instantly. The three-hour daily recovery time is over.
"Master, how about the feedback I have for you?" asked Carrie, who seemed to be happy to do so.
"Good. "Now he's getting closer to the real thing. In the beginning, he could only judge by imagination, but Carrie provided him with "force feedback", allowing him to make this imaginary battle more and more realistic, and even feel the strength of the opponent's attack. In fact, he couldn't figure out whether this Wendini who could emerge with his eyes closed was his own imagination or if Carrie was helping him to create it.
But it doesn't really matter. It was the first time in such a long time that he had held on for three hours without losing and, of course, without winning. Ashrufat looked at the sky, and the first rays of sunlight of the day had already appeared at the top of the distant mountains.
"Boss...... Boss ......" a cry came from afar. Then in the next instant, Ashruphat disappeared and was replaced by the Blood Banner Boss.
After a short while, Grubb arrived with a few goblins to the location of the Blood Banner Boss.
"I said the Boss must be here!" Grabb triumphantly showed off to the other goblins. This sentence made the Blood Banner Boss very interested, knowing that this was just a vacant land that he found at random.
"The Boss must be here to check out the Iron Claw Fortress. Grubb explained to the other goblins, then pointed into the distance, "Boss, boss, look, there's the Iron Claw Fortress over there. ”
Is it possible to see the Iron Claw Fortress from this position? The Blood Banner Boss looked into the distance along Grubb's fingers, and sure enough, he saw a simple and majestic castle.
Judging by the architectural style and location, it is clear that the castle was not built by humans. The whole castle is combined with the mountain, or more specifically, the mountain is built into a castle. From the position of the Blood Banner Boss, you can feel the grandeur and majesty of this castle. This near-magical architectural skill is believed to have come from the dwarves, but no one can tell why such a magnificent castle ended up in the hands of Greenskin.
The castle also has some greenskin reconstructions, mainly fortifications including bunkers for archers and arrow emplacements for goblin ballistas. But the difference in craftsmanship between the two makes these parts look as ugly as psoriasis sticking to the skin.
And according to the Evil Boy (of course, he should be called the Blood Banner Kid now), there is a huge iron ore pit not far from this castle. Once a boss feels that his weapons are insufficient, he will lead a large army to the pit to get a batch of raw materials for himself. This is also the reason why the green skins of the entire mountainous area have never lacked metal despite the constant fighting.
The Blood Banner Boss stared at the castle in the distance and did not speak for a long time. Instead, several goblins are chattering about the future of the Devil, how to occupy this sacred place in the green heart, how to launch a great Waaaaagh, and so on.
Although his subordinates were demoralized and even a little carried away by the string of victories, the Blood Banner Boss knew that his goal was still far away. In such a warlord-dominated place, there are many challenges to face in order to become the hegemon and eventually the "most powerful" boss in the Iron Claw Mountains.
"Boss, boss. Grubb's voice brought the Blood Banner Boss back to reality from his contemplation. "I've heard there's a throne in the Iron Claw Fortress!"
"The throne?"
"It's beautiful, it's beautiful!" Grabb said with the goblin's flattering energy. "Boss, that's definitely the right spot for you. When we get rid of the headhunter, we can use his head as a step to the throne for you!"
"Stairs ......," the Blood Banner Boss nodded. Then turn back and walk to your base. Due to the previous victory and the Blood Banner Boss's order to prepare for battle, the entire base was already in full swing at this time, and under the supervision of the orcs, the goblins were busy making various weapons and equipment.
"Boss, boss!" As soon as he returned, five or six leaders surrounded him. One of the leaders respectfully offered him a shelf—or a thick pole with a row of cones. It's a bit like a trident overall, but it can't be used as a weapon because of its wide tip—he's seen it many times, and often the boss carries it on his back. The greenskins called it the "Boss's Staff", which was an ornament, and the pointed end of the tip was used to hang the loot, which was the enemy's head. Of course, not just any head can be hung on the staff. A green skin with a little self-esteem will not do such a tasteless thing, and the head that can hang on must at least be a passable opponent. In fact, for the green-skinned boss, the more heads hanging from the boss's staff, the more powerful and powerful the boss is. Because this is an obvious show-off, many bosses don't allow their own small bosses to carry this kind of thing.
The Blood Banner Boss doesn't have a Boss Staff yet. On the one hand, he is not very interested in this custom, and on the other hand, this thing is not practical, and carrying this thing on his back is equivalent to adding a burden out of thin air.
But this time, he had to accept this terrible honor. The Blood Banner Boss slung the Boss Staff on his back and walked around his base, showing off the new gear to everyone.
"Boss, who are we going to fight next?" After the Blood Banner Boss returned from a circle, a leader asked the Boss for instructions. After winning the streak of battles, all the Blood Flag Boys were full of confidence and were all ready to fight the next battle.
"Who's closest to us?" asked the Blood Banner Boss.
"It's the Fangy Boss!" cried a mouthy goblin. Then a small leader immediately punched the little guy with many mouths and tongues, and directly knocked him down. The ones who can answer the boss's questions must be noble and clever leaders, and such goblins are not qualified to answer at all.
"How many boys does Boss Fangs have?" continued the Blood Banner Boss.
"I know that there are not many tusky boys anymore. A greenskin replied. It took him a while to get the Blood Banner Boss to figure out the situation. It turned out that the fangy boss was unfavorable because of several consecutive battles, causing his boys to scatter and find their own way, and now the fangy boss only has a few thousand boys left, and they dare not go out all day long. Attacking the Fangs has the added benefit of being a remote location, so the other bosses don't get the news until much after the war has broken out. As long as you can settle the battle in a day or two, you don't have to worry about other bosses getting involved and competing with each other to make a profit.
"Okay, when the preparations are complete, we'll go clean up the Fangy Boss!" the Blood Banner Boss made a final decision, in exchange for a cheer from his subordinates.
......
The Fangy Boss's lair is a natural cavern, or a giant cavern as it may be specifically called. The mouth of the cave is not particularly wide, while the interior is very wide. In short, this is a good terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and has been the lair of the Greenskin Tribe for a long time, except that the current owner is the Fangs.
Speaking of which, the fangy boss is also quite unlucky. Recently, he has suffered several defeats in a row, although it is not an irreparable loss, but it has also made his position as the boss shaky. It took a lot of effort for the Fangs Boss to finally secure the throne, but the hearts of his tribe were scattered, so three or five goblins left today, and a small group of greenskins sneaked away tomorrow. Before the Fangs could figure out how to salvage the situation, his tribe had already scattered a large part of the men in non-combat.
What's even more unfortunate is that before the fangy boss even had time to catch his breath, his original good neighbor Extreme Evil Boss was killed, and the Blood Banner Boss who replaced the Extreme Evil Boss attacked without saying a word, shouting Waaaaagh.
The once peaceful entrance to the cave is now filled with the fury of war. Hundreds of Blood Banner Kids are frantically attacking the Fanged Boss's carefully arranged defenses. The lair of the Fangs tribe is quite strong, and all kinds of weapons and fortifications are complete, so it has a very dominant advantage in battle, and every Fangs kid will die in battle, but in terms of momentum, the Blood Flag Boys have the advantage. The Blood Banner Boss personally supervised the battle, and the Blood Flag Boys, in order to be able to perform well in front of the boss and get a higher status for themselves, all showed off their spirit one by one and worked extremely hard to kill. They also have an overwhelming advantage in numbers. If it weren't for the fact that the defenses here were really strong, perhaps the defense lines of the Fangs would have been broken down long ago.
"Boss...... Top dog...... The boys can't stand it anymore. A goblin hurried from the front to report the sad news to the Fangs.
"What are you afraid of!" "Be patient, wait for their boys to come in a little more, and we can unleash the secret weapon!" There was an additional reason why he was so confident - his lair was a cave, so he didn't have to worry about the boys fleeing the battlefield, not even the cowardly goblins - because there was no way to escape.
After a short while, another goblin hurried up to report the situation.
"Boss, the fence outside has been torn down by the Blood Flag Kids!"
"Kouhu, tell the boys, hold on a little longer, I'll come over right away!"
The goblin hurried away, but the Fanged Boss didn't "come right away", he stayed on his throne, a rough chair carved out of the rock, for a while, until he felt that the shouting outside was close, and then he got up from his throne and yelled at the boys beside him.
"Quick, come with me, get the big man ready to go to war!"
The Blood Banner Boys have torn down all the fortifications at the mouth of the cave, chopping up all the Tusk Boys who didn't have time to escape. They rushed into the cavern, and one of the leading goblins screamed. "Look! It's a giant! Big giant!"
