Chapter Forty-Seven: First Glimpse of the Fog I
"Three hundred and seventy-nine were killed, and eighty-three were wounded. ”
When the three elders reported the casualties, everyone in the cave was silent.
The Miluo tribe suffered a tragic disaster this time, and there were less than 200 strong men left in the tribe of four or five hundred. The Heavenly Wolf Clan also had casualties this time, and when the more than 100 Changshengtang disciples led by He Erniang started, although Nagu led a few clansmen to flee to the back mountain for the first time, several clansmen still fled slowly in the chaos, and were killed on the spot, counting me, there are only five people left. And the old and weak women and children in the Miluo tribe who fled to the back mountain in time died more than a hundred people, which is nothing, the worst thing is that there are more than a dozen elders in their Miluo tribe, and now there are only seven left in the cave, almost half of them are dead. The Western Regions tribe has the highest status of the patriarch and the great witch, and the position of elder can also be said to be very important in the clan, and now nearly half of the elders have died, which means that the overall strength of the Miluo clan has been reduced by half.
It is no wonder that the disparity in strength between the two sides is too great. Although He Erniang and they are only one hundred and ten people, they are all characters in the rivers and lakes with excellent martial arts and swords, and even if the Miluo clan is a thousand people living here, how can they stop it? This is still in their own territory, if it is outside the territory, I am afraid that the casualties of the Miluo clan will be even worse.
I stood beside Nagu and looked at Zabal sitting in the big chair, the python still standing behind him, and in front of him, Abigail and the seven elders stood in a row. The reason why Zabal summoned us to his cave this time was because the Celestial Wolf Clan had also been killed and wounded in this battle. It stands to reason that we are not qualified to participate in the high-level meeting of their Miro clan, but because of my participation, the two clans have fought side by side with the Miro clan to resist the people of the Immortal Hall. Perhaps it was because I had saved Abigail's life, but now Zabal was noticeably better at us, and his gaze swept over us with more kindness than his previous disdain.
However, when I saw Zabar's kind gaze, I sat on a needle mat. Yang Zhixing came to look for me, and I knew that the root cause of this time was mine.
If I can stand up as soon as possible before He Erniang and the others make a move, then the Miluo clan will not have this catastrophe, right?
Thinking of this, my heart hurts, and my face is hot. Standing beside Nagu, I was only nervous, and I felt like there were countless resentful eyes looking at me, as if those dead Miro people were coming to me to pay for their lives.
This feeling is really worse than slashing me a few times.
After the three elders finished reporting the casualties, they stepped aside, and the atmosphere in the audience was a little dull. Zabal sat on the big chair and stroked his forehead with one hand, making it difficult to see his expression, and after a long silence, he said slowly: "Third Elder, let's bury the dead clansmen." ”
The three elders knelt on the ground and said hesitantly, "Yes, Great Witch." ”
At this time, the Great Elder took a step forward and knelt on the ground, and said angrily: "Great Witch, the Immortal Hall has deceived people too much this time......! I can't wait!"
The Third Elder had already turned around, and when he heard the Great Elder's words, he immediately knelt down again. From the time they entered the cave to the present, the two of them tried their best to persuade Zabal to send his people to hunt down Yang Zhixing and the others, but Zabal has not expressed his position until now, as if he turned a deaf ear to the previous incident brought by He Erniang to commit crimes. There were two elders with white hair, Xu couldn't stand it anymore, and after the Great Elder and the Third Elder, they also knelt on the ground, and the remaining three Elders and Abigail looked embarrassed, looking like they wanted to speak and stopped.
There was silence in the room, but Zabal still stroked his forehead for a while before he said, "Elders, get up." ”
It seemed that it took a lot of energy for him to use witchcraft to fight He Erniang before, but now he sat on the big chair and looked sickly, and his words seemed to be deflated.
The Great Elder and the Third Elder and the others were still a little hesitant, looked at each other for a moment, and then stood up. Zabal raised his head, his face seemed to be much older, and continued: "The thieves of the Immortal Hall have disturbed our clan's festival this time, killing hundreds of clansmen, don't say that you are not convinced, even I can't swallow the evil breath! But at present, there are less than two hundred clansmen in the clan who still have the strength to fight, and then seeking revenge in the Immortal Hall is to hit the stone with an egg, how can I fight again?"
I listened silently to Zabal's words, and I didn't know what it was like. What he said was not bad at all, in the previous confrontation, the Immortal Hall can be said to be unscathed, counting the Immortal Hall disciple who was killed by me, they only died a total of six people, from this point of view, the disparity in strength between the two sides is simply a world apart, and there is no comparison. With the current situation of their Miro tribe, wanting to seek revenge from the Immortal Hall is tantamount to throwing themselves into a fire pit, and Zabal knows this, so he has never expressed his position before.
The Great Elder stood up from the ground and said unwillingly, "Great Witch, did hundreds of our clansmen die in vain?"
Hearing the Great Elder's words, Zabal raised his eyes and looked at the Great Elder. The Great Elder had a look of resentment, but when he saw Zabal looking over, he hurriedly lowered his head again. This person was really carried away by hatred, and the tone of questioning in what he just said was already out of courtesy. If this was put in normal times, he would probably have to avoid being scolded by Zabar.
Zabal didn't care about this, he pressed his hand on the table in front of him, and said, "Rank Elder don't worry, the Immortal Hall is overbearing, coming to my clan to plunder and kill the clansmen, I will not be so willing to give up this debt, but now is not the time." ”
At this time, Abigail stepped forward and took a few steps, frowned, and said, "Does the Great Witch have a countermeasure?"
His waist was wrapped in a medicinal cloth, and blood had oozed from it, which was cut by a disciple of the Immortal Hall before, and the wound was very deep, even if he was wrapped in the medicinal cloth, he still couldn't stop the bleeding. But he is a tough person, the blood from the wound oozes out, he doesn't even look at his waist, and he can't stand it at all.
Zabal looked at the glass bottle on the table, and said in a deep voice: "The attack of the Immortal Hall has completely defeated our clan, and I can't escape the blame for this disaster. ”
When Abigail and the seven elders heard this, they all bowed down to Zabal and said, "Great Witch ......"
Zabal is blaming himself for using the dead corpses of the Central Plains people to sacrifice the ghost corpses, right?
Listening to him talk about "woe", I only felt that my face was even hotter, and I couldn't wait to stand up and tell everything now. But in this way, Zabal will not leave us alive anymore. I am not afraid, if Zabal only needs my life, then it is fine, and I can cancel out the lives of hundreds of their Miro tribes, I have nothing to say, I am afraid that the ancient people will also lose their lives with me.
Zabal waved his hand and said: "It's also my fault for underestimating the enemy, I didn't expect that even the sheep of the White Tiger Altar would come to our clan, and the number of them is no less than five hundred, which is far from the loneliness of the Immortal Hall rumored by the outside world. ”
His tone was very solemn, and I saw that the faces of the Great Elder and the Third Elder turned pale.
These two people are really beyond their strength, looking at the Great Elder and the Third Elder, I thought silently. Maybe the two of them originally had the mentality of seeing death as home, thinking that they could catch up with He Erniang and kill a few people from the Immortal Hall to vent their evil anger, but they probably didn't think that this move would bring a greater disaster to their Miluo clan. Zabal left the desk with both hands, paced two steps, and said, "Yes, the matter of revenge needs to be considered in the long run, and the elders don't need to mention it again. The top priority is to rectify the affairs of the clan, appease the clansmen, recuperate, recruit troops, and wait for the day when our clan grows stronger, and then unite with other tribes to work together to eradicate the Immortal Hall!"
After speaking, he slapped the table suddenly, and the glass bottles on the table jumped with him.
