664.The Wrath of the Splitting Claw (page 2/2)
“I'm really just an ordinary foreigner. Don't think too much about it. I don't need to compensate you, right? Don't be angry, Lord Heather, don't be angry..”
Murphy comforted the irritable second lord. He was about to change the topic and get down to business when he suddenly felt a heat in his heart, and then heard the Endless Manis reminding him in his ear.：
“Pay attention! The female dwarf vampire in front of you is a bit weird, especially when she is angry. Don't you feel that the room becomes dark?？”
“Um？”
Murphy raised his eyebrows, then looked around quietly..
Sure enough, as the Endless One said, when Lord Heather was angry, the light in the entire room dimmed a lot, as if an invisible darkness was quietly rising..
“This is definitely not the ability of a vampire or a shield dwarf..”
Murphy asked in his mind：
“Since it can arouse the curiosity of a demigod like you, then I have to ask, what do you think this is going on?？”
“I have no idea.”
Mannis is very bachelor and shows off.：
“I'm just telling you, there's something weird about this female dwarf! Be careful when you come into contact with her. In addition to the power of shield dwarves and vampires, she also has a third power in her body, which is a very, very dangerous power..
Maybe that's why she never takes off her helmet.”
“Hmm, interesting.”
Murphy narrowed his eyes, but instead of asking directly, he coughed and said：
“So, the next strategy is.”
“No strategy, prepare for war.”
Lord Heather calmed herself down, and while the light in the room quietly returned, she said：
“Mistress Splitclaw can't swallow this breath. In five days at most, the Splitclaw clan's army will begin to attack Black Flame Pass. I got the exact news from Lord Paying. The three major clans of Bonebiter, Bloodscar and Whiptail The vanguard has also appeared near the Brass Fortress, and they are raiding along the Gorgon Pass..
After this stage is over, it’s time to serve the hard food..
Judging from the combat effectiveness shown by the jackals this time, the Brass Fortress will definitely face an absolutely tough battle..
The war over there still needs a short period of time to ferment, but the most difficult time at Black Flame Pass is coming soon..
Murphy, I need your warriors to stay in shape, and I also need you to lead them..”
“no problem！”
Murphy took out his old pocket watch and looked at the time. He said：
“I'll go back to Transia first, and when I get back here in three days, I'll stay here until we win the battle, or until the pass falls..”
“.”
Murphy's answer made Lord Heather sigh. The female dwarf pushed her heavy helmet and said：
“So, you still think I can’t hold my mountain pass, right?？”
“It has nothing to do with how I thought, Lord Heather.”
Murphy stood up and said goodbye politely.：
“I just think you should be prepared in advance. When things look stable and good, be prepared for the worst case scenario. That's what a wise man does..
Of course, I'm just giving you a suggestion. It's up to you to decide what to do..”
Just as Murphy left Lord Heather's command post, in a hilly area three days away from the Black Flame Pass, the Splitclaw Clan's army was marching quickly along this road..
More than 150,000 gnolls belong to different factions based on the four-level system of "faction-clan-warlord-soldier". It looks like a mess like locusts passing by, but in fact there are still some gnolls in this chaos. in which a unique order takes effect.
Maintaining the unity and movement of such a large army is a great test of management skills. Judging from the fact that they gathered together in a noisy and wild manner and marched forward without causing a major brawl, the management of the Splitclaw Clan The level is undoubtedly online.
Of course, this also has something to do with the unique "war inheritance" of the Jackals..
However, in this army where all things are competing and full of vitality, as the leader, the Mistress of Splitclaw, Portana Splitclaw, can never be happy..
She is no longer a young jackal. If nothing happens, even if she is good at voodoo, she will not be able to live for another thirty years. Based on the life span of a jackal, Potana is already a real "old woman"”.
Of course, the old chief Singer of the Whiptail clan is an exception. The old guy miraculously lived to be one hundred and twenty years old without using any magic to extend his life. He did not tell anyone how he did it, but he always Some people speculate that it was Singer who was given some kind of magical power by King Frederick when he followed the Bone-Gripping King..
Old Singer never recognized but also did not deny this statement. The main focus was a mystery..
But unfortunately, the era of the bone-gnawing king has long ended. Today's jackals do not have the luck to be endowed with the power of longevity like old Singer..
In short, this black disaster is probably the last large-scale war in Potana's life. She wants many things, but the time left for her is not ample..
She originally wanted to conquer the Black Flame Pass in one go and open up the road to Transia, but unfortunately, the vanguard she sent failed..
One of her most trusted warlords was killed in a surprise attack by elite soldiers from Black Flame Pass two nights ago..
Not only did that idiot fail, but he also lost the food and grass prepared by the Splitclaw clan for the invasion..
It is very difficult to collect so much supplies in a barren place like the Dark Mountains. Even Chief Potana can't conjure more food for his army..
That's not the only bad news.
Another of Portana's favorite warlords was ambushed and killed by unknown forces on his way to recruit the Plague Clan, and the plan to recruit the Plague Clan was ruined..
This was almost as if Potana was hit with two heavy punches in the face before the fight even started, making her eyes shine with stars and filling her heart with anger..
The Black Disaster has already begun, so we can’t stop it from happening. We must start attacking even if we don’t have enough food and grass.！
Maintain morale on the one hand.
On the other hand, you can also grab food from the Black Flame Pass. The most important thing is to consume some eating mouths, so that the remaining people can always be full..
Moreover, gnolls are omnivorous creatures, and it is not impossible for dwarves and humans to eat them..
She has made up her mind to let her army begin to attack the city as soon as it reaches the Black Flame Pass..
Of course, this is just an appearance.
“Make sure you're all ready？”
In Chief Splitclaw's luxurious marching tent, which was made of ninety-nine desert tiger skins and was pulled by three thunder lizards, Portana held a string of pearl bracelets and stroked them with her paws. while asking：
“I don't want to waste my time on a war of attrition. Don't you also want to see your mother?.”
“Shut up！”
Yuan's cold voice sounded from the pearl bracelet, and she scolded：
“You are not allowed to mention her with your bad mouth！
But what you said is right, I don’t want to waste time anymore, go ahead and attack, because your vanguards stupidly failed to complete the plan, and as a result, they still lack a little bit of mourning power to ignite the fire in the Black Flame Pass. Burn everything to the ground.
I hope you're ready too, Portana, for the recipe we gave you.”
“Don't worry, I will use it at critical moments.”
Mistress Splitclaw let out an old laugh and said：
“But I'm curious, how do you know that the bodies of the dead left behind by the last black disaster are buried under the Black Flame Pass? Logically speaking, those pesky Songhai people should have warned them of this threat..”
“Yes, the 'Smurfs' have reminded you, and the Blood Alliance clans have also taken notice..”
Yuan said in a casual tone：
“But if the workers who built the mountain pass position were all our people, if the architects who designed the design were also our people, and if the people responsible for cleaning up the remains were still our people, then how could they know all the dangers hidden under the earth?？
Don't ask any more questions, Portana..
For every answer you find, you get ten more questions.
Time has been generous to me but it's harsh to you, so just know that when you invade Transia, you and I will both get what we want.！
But you know the rules. When you need more help, you have to pay more sincerity..”
