Section 49 Scouting

If it was a provocative temptation, he clearly did. Ashrufat came to him and held out a hand to him. This action was not very fast, but Bruce found that he couldn't avoid it, so he could only block it with his hands.

The four steel-gloved hands pinched together, and then Bruce felt a terrifying force coming from the other side. Although he has never been known for brute strength, he also feels that he is not inferior to others in strength (at least not too much), but this time it is not like human strength, but like a pair of bear paws.

The Chaos Lord named Ashrufat just relied on his strength to force him down on the table. He resisted with all his might, and the joints of his body made a slight noise from the exertion. But even so, he could not resist this terrible force.

He was pressed against a table - fortunately the table was sturdy enough that it was not in danger of collapsing. Not to mention himself, even the people on the side knew that he had lost this contest.

But no one came up to help. The other four just watched the one-on-one battle calmly. Honestly, there's nothing surprising about this result. Although Bruce is a Chaos Champion, the man who calls himself Aethrufat is a Chaos Lord.

In the eyes of ordinary Chaos Believers (or non-believers), the Chaos Lord is the next stage of the Chaos Champion - just like the previous promotion, there is no essential difference. It's like a Marauder who is given Chaos armor and promoted to the rank of Chaos Samurai, and if he can please the gods (which is difficult, of course), he will naturally get to that position. But after really reaching the position of Chaos Champion, you will be surprised to find a very surprising thing: the normal promotion path ends here. Even if you keep achieving results and pleasing the Chaos Gods, you will only get an external reward (such as a magic weapon or something) instead of a status increase.

However, the Chaos Lords are objectively existent, which cannot be denied (maybe not in your own tribe, but as long as you want to find it, you can still find it). But why was a Chaos Champion promoted to a Chaos Lord? Those who knew the secret, the Chaos Lords, were silent and never talked about it.

The difference in strength between a Chaos Lord and a Chaos Champion is so big. In one-on-one situations, Ashrufat overpowered Bruce effortlessly. In fact, it's not just one-on-one, according to the usual concept, even two Chaos Champions are not the opponents of one Chaos Lord.

"Don't think of me as kind. Ashrufat's voice came from behind his helmet. Maybe it was the heatless illumination of the magic lamp, or maybe it was the metal helmet that had an effect on the human voice, but the Chaos Lord's voice sounded unusually cold. "You're not going to get a chance to say something like that to me a second time. ”

He immediately let go of Bruce and straightened up. This time, his gaze rested on the wizard closest to him. This wizard's dress was very inconspicuous, but he did not flinch from coming face to face with Ashrufat.

"What do you want to do?" asked Ashrufat. He took a step forward towards the wizard, who took a step back.

The question seemed a bit inexplicable, and the two Chaos Champions, including Bruce, were also confused. Because from just now to now, it was Eshurufat who was teaching Bruce a lesson, and this wizard did not make any provocative and dangerous moves, if not standing still.

But Ashrufat knew that the wizard had not done anything on the surface, but he had embraced the winds of magic.

In other words, he's ready to cast a spell.

"Think it's great that you know how to do magic, and think I won't dare kill you?" said Ashrufat.

The wizard may have hesitated, but Ashrufat's threatening words made him determined. He lifted a hand, and a hot spark of silver light and splinters erupted from his finger, heading straight for Ashrufat.

But this magic is of no use. At the moment when the magic erupted, Ashruphat found its connection to the Metallic Wind. He drew the gourd in the same way, unwovening the magic and returning it to the wind of magic.

Then, when the wizard was amazed—and the momentary loss of consciousness that would inevitably result from the casting of the magic—Ashruphat rushed forward and punched him in the stomach.

The wizard's body hung directly on top of his fist. Then, before the other four people knew it, the wizard's body had flown into the corner of the tent. The power of this iron fist is beyond the reach of this wizard. This unlucky guy didn't even have time to snort and passed out.

Ashruphat turned his head, and the other two wizards also embraced the wind of magic, ready for magic. They were all certified wizards who had been approved by Tzeentch, so it was only natural that Ashrufat had embraced the wind of magic as well.

This Chaos Lord...... Not just a warrior, or a wizard?

Among the Chaos Gods, Tzeentch claims to have all the magical knowledge in the world, and has the largest number of wizards who have defected to Tzeentch's command, and Su zhì is also the highest. Not only that, but there is another theory that has been circulating - Tzeentch can grant the ability to cast spells to mortals who lack talent.

According to an irrefutable objective fact, a mortal must have a special talent to become a magic messenger. It's hard to say exactly what this talent is, but most people, no matter how smart they are, no matter how hard they work, they can't become a qualified magician. In the Seven Central Kingdoms, the Church shouted the slogan "Everyone can be a magician", but the end result was that the vast majority of "magicians" were just deceiving themselves. Whether it is the Central Seven Kingdoms or the Chaos Territory, there is no one out of thousands who can truly become a magician. If Tzeentch can bestow mortals with the talent to cast spells, then why are Chaos wizards so rare?

However, if it is the real Tzeentch, it will know that this is not a lie, but true. Tzeentch does have this ability (though it rarely gives mortals such a precious gift). From this point of view, it seems that it should not be surprising that Ashrufate revealed the ability to cast magic.

However, theory is theory, and reality is reality. The reality is that even a high-level Chaos who worships Treacherine as the main god can be quite remarkable if he knows a little bit of magic while being proficient in combat skills (or a little bit of combat skills while being proficient in magic). And this Chaos Lord, who calls himself Ashrufat, can easily overwhelm a Chaos Champion in terms of combat skills, and can outperform a Chaos Wizard at will in terms of magic.

Once again, there was a silence in the tent.

Alarmed by the movement in the tent, several guards outside the tent rushed in, only to see Ashrufat in Chaos armor. They didn't know Ashrufat, but at least they knew that the man had been brought in by Tarek. And this armor clearly states the identity of this person.

"Get him away. Ashrufat ordered the guards.

The guards peeked at the others present. None of them seemed to say anything, though, and the guards obeyed.

"Okay, now we can get back to the previous topic. Ashrufat stood back at the table. "Any ideas for a solution to this dilemma?"

"My lord, I have an idea. It was the same sorcerer who was also wearing a robe. Judging from the details just now, this person should be the one with the lowest status among all the people present. Because in the midst of chaos, although the chaos champion is regarded as the same level as the wizard, it is naturally half a level higher in the world's concept. Of the three, this one looked the youngest, and he stood at the bottom of the three.

Say. Ashrufat looked at him. He didn't even bother to ask for the other person's name.

"If you want to fight, the chances of winning a head-on battle are slim. So the only chance is to tease them into a scuffle. The wizard replied. "If you avoid fighting, then the viable way is to ally with one of them...... And the strongest one. ”

Ashrufat smiled inwardly. Sure enough, even in the midst of chaos, there is such a line of thinking. Perhaps the wizard himself did not realize the error of this line of thinking...... Well, in fact, human beings often think like this, consciously or unconsciously ignore something, so as to arrive at wishful thinking.

"Really, if there is an alliance...... An alliance between the strong and the weak, who will guarantee that the covenant will be maintained, and that one day the covenant will be thrown like waste paper on the side of the road?"

"Sorry...... My lord...... In a hurry, I didn't think about it enough. ”

"It's not feasible to tease them into going to civil war first. "This time it was Bruce who spoke. Although he looked a little unwilling, he also had to admit that this new Chaos Lord was very strong...... It's much better than a few of them. "As far as I know, they're all guarding against it. I am afraid that we will not be able to hide any of our actions. If nothing else, we're here tonight...... Maybe there's an eye staring at it from afar. No, there must be eyes staring at it from afar. ”

Ashrufat chuckled softly behind his helmet. Sure enough, things are not so easy on the one hand, and not so difficult on the other.

"If you stick to the camp, how long will you be able to hold on?" said Ashruphat abruptly changing the subject.

"It depends on the strength of the enemy. If the four of them form an alliance, it would be nice to be able to hold out for ten days. But if it's one-on-one...... They won't be able to capture our camp anytime soon. But if it's long enough, we won't be able to hold on. ”

"When will they start a war?"

"Anytime it could be. Bruce replied. "It's normal for it to happen tomorrow. ”

"Okay, when you get back, be ready to hold the camp as soon as you go, and if necessary, the troops stationed on the other side of the salt pond will also be withdrawn to protect the camp. ”

"Shall we go back?, sir, what do you mean...... You don't go...... In the tribe?"

"I have other things. Ashrufat said. "Only I can do it. ”

With that, Ashrufat lifted the curtain and stepped out of the tent. As mentioned earlier, it was the magic lamp that illuminated the tent at this time, and the light of this thing was not at all comparable to that of candles, oil lamps, or even torches. The moment he lifted the curtain door and walked out of the tent, a magical light shot out of the tent, illuminating his body.

"That's ......" Somewhere away from the tent, an underdog was looking at the unplanned figure in amazement. "Chaos Champion Bruce, no, not Chaos Champion! That's ......" His eyes stared intently at the Chaos armor in the light, at the Chaos armor that was as smooth as enamel on the outside. Such armor...... Even a Chaos Champion doesn't deserve it, right?

"Wait...... Is that...... Chaos Lord?That must be a Chaos Lord?!!Oh my God, they actually have a Chaos Lord!"

“...... No, I have to send this back immediately!"
