748.The Splitclaw Clan's War Response (page 1/2)
The news of the failure of Black Flame Pass was blocked by the Bloodscar Clan. Currently, only the upper echelons of the Splitclaw Clan know that their hundreds of thousands of vanguard troops perished together with the defenders of Black Flame Pass..
But some strange situations can be guessed without knowing the truth. For example, the series of astral tearing incidents that occurred in the territory of the Splitclaw clan in the past half month were very obvious acts of revenge, targeting only Splitclaw. clan and the frequency is so high, the jackal leaders of other clans are not fools either..
They already realized something was wrong.
But for the Splitclaw clan, these are nothing. The destruction of hundreds of thousands of troops alone is enough to break the bones of this big clan. There is only one choice left for them, and that is to respond to Xu Gesen At the call of the Grand Overseer, all remaining warriors were committed to the attack on Transia..
Only by capturing Transia and causing horrific massacres can the clan's already precarious reputation be restored..
And there are more practical reasons. Only by carrying out sufficiently lucrative plunder in Transia and opening the way for subsequent armies to enter the core area of the continent can they possibly regain their strength after this disaster..
The racial tradition of the gnolls is not benevolent. They are loyal supporters and practitioners of the Darwinian ecology. If it were not a time of war, the weak posture of the Splitclaw clan alone would definitely lead to a group attack, and even bad consequences. Those small and medium-sized clans that were originally vassal to Splitting Claw will bite their masters back hard at this time, making their mouths full of oil..
This type of incident has happened many times before.
In the era of the Bone Grinning King, there were no such messy clans as Splitting Claw, Whip Tail, Broken Fang, and Blood Scar. They all rose up in the chaos after the failure of the Fourth Black Plague..
The Splitclaw clan has been cornered by the defeat at Blackfire Pass. They have no choice..
How to stabilize this shaky situation at this time is the biggest challenge to Potana's successor. Fortunately, Xu Gesen already has the Bloodscar clan as a "loyal ally", so that it still has enough appeal and deterrence to pull the chopping claw. The clan's last army.
At the assembly point provided by the Bloodscar Clan, in a valley located one hundred kilometers away from Transia in the Moss Valley, Xu Gesen, the newly promoted hunting god, was sitting on the hunting throne provided by the Bloodscar Clan, listening to what was happening in front of him. The report of the great warlord.
This throne was an item used by the King of Bone Grinders back then. It was not very luxurious. It even had very little skull decoration that was the favorite of the jackals. It looked very "simple" and not barbaric..
But every skull inlaid on the throne polished with the skull of the Thunder Lizard King has its origins, and its small quantity cannot conceal its high quality..
Those are the most valuable enemies that Lord Philip personally hunted in the war, including the Hill Lord, Ranger General, Moon Priest, Songhai Priest, Halfling Grand Technician, Vampire Governor, and several famous human heroes..
Such a great achievement proves that no one dares to underestimate the intimidating power of this throne. In the past hundred years, even the wildest gnoll chiefs did not dare to covet it. Gehrman Bonegnashers tried to kill Bloodscar five times and three times. The clan begged for it, but Chief Amote ignored it and only regarded it as a bone-crushing king practicing his unique skills of oral gymnastics..
In the eyes of the Bloodscar Clan, Gehrman Gnaw is just a poor imitator, and handing him the throne can only tarnish that glorious testimony..
At this time, Xu Gesen, who was sitting on top of Da Ma Jin Dao, also showed a different temperament than before..
It was put on a set of God's Choice armor made by the Bloodscar clan. The blood-colored paint made this thing look very coquettish and powerful enough. The full-coverage armor covered every part of Xu Gesen's body. Even the tail is equipped with a bone tail vertebra armor..
But the golden-red mane spread out from the neck of the armor, making it look like a human-shaped lion..
His left hand holds the crimson-wrapped Filth Fang, and under his right hand is the Warg's Death Claw, which is several times larger in size. His eyes are cold and majestic, and the tuft of white hair on his forehead also became the finishing touch after the Divine Selection Ceremony. of crimson.
It looks like the third opened blood-colored eye.
In front of it, the Splitting Claw Grand Overseers who were summoned did not dare to act recklessly..
Perhaps a few gnoll warlords from the Splitclaw clan's vassals had other ideas in mind, but when they saw with their own eyes that they had been fully supported by the Bloodscar clan, and even had a group of three hundred hunting elects as the new chiefs of the guards, they He immediately gave up what he was thinking and respectfully called Xu Gesen "Master"”.
Portana's time is over.
Her last wish came true, and her most perfect work ascended to the throne of chief. The only irony is that the advancement of all this had almost nothing to do with her failed efforts..
“Our territory has suffered heavy damage, Master Hugeson..”
An old jackal priest said tremblingly：
“Not only were the military garrison areas destroyed and polluted by the evil goatmen using the power of the astral realm, but also those important potion fields. Our harvest this year is gone, and the people of the tribe are starving..
To make matters worse, Mother Portana's mushroom fields under the Ash Plains were also destroyed..
Just two days ago, our guards discovered the invasion of elves and goatmen. They fought bravely, but the sinful dwarves who came out of the underground caught us by surprise. Those bastards who lived on the edge of the gray desert destroyed them with bombs. They conquered the mushroom field and drove back the rat people living further underground..
The weapons we prepare for war have lost their most important materials.”
“But you still have the formed plague barrel, right?？”
Xu Gesen said something hoarsely, his voice was not bright, but it made the old jackal shake his body, it said：
“Yes, there is, but”
“We don't have any use for that stuff anymore! It is obviously impossible to defeat the Transians with plague, especially their war spirits. Bringing these things with you also requires specialized plague warlocks to preserve them. Next, we need to quickly rush through the barren mountain area. The mountain roads are difficult to travel, so these things are still Send it to the Brass Fortress..”
The Manson priest beside Hugersen whispered：
“The withdrawal of the Bloodscar clan made Chief Gehrman very angry. This batch of plagues can just eliminate his anger. Moreover, there is a siege over there, and the plague barrels obviously have more room for better performance. What do you think? God's Chosen Lord.”
“Well, thinking very carefully, let’s do it like this.”
Xu Gesen waved his hand and agreed to Manson's suggestion..
This kind of "following the good" attitude also made Priest Manson very satisfied, which shows that Xu Gesen is still under the control of Blood Scar..
“Our people have lost their food source due to the attacks of the Transians, and they are about to starve. Isn't this the original motivation for every black disaster?？”
Hugersen stroked his warg and said：
“Recruitment is issued to all members of the Splitclaw clan and the sixteen vassal clans! We don’t have enough soldiers anymore, but it doesn’t matter. Every gnoll is a born warrior, so the females are also ready to fight..
Take those babies that are taller than the wheels and let them grow up quickly in the war.
The remaining Splitclaw warriors and I will be the vanguard, and our compatriots from the Bloodscar clan will assist us in our assault on the destined battlefield in Transia..
Splitclaw can't survive on his knees.！
After suffering a disaster, we can either seize new territories as victors or die as sacrifices on the battlefield..
This is the fate of the Gnolls, there is no compromise！”
This order shocked the Splitclaw warlords in front of them, but they soon realized that the new chief was not joking..
It really decided to imitate the real black disaster and carry out a "family wave". This was really a situation that caught people off guard, but if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with Master Xugesen's considerations..
Instead of waiting until the tribesmen really start killing each other because of hunger, it is better to give it a try while they can still fight back..
What's more, even if you have objections in your heart, who dares to raise them at this time?？
Just look at the cold look Master Xu Gesen looks at these "old men from the former dynasty" like him. Anyone who dares to put eye drops on the new chief at this time will just wait to be caught and become a model..
Jackals are indeed not good at thinking, but there are no fools who can sit in the position of Grand Overseer..
They quickly accepted the order and turned around to leave here to convey that with the mobilization speed of the Jackals, the entire Splitclaw clan would enter a state of all-out war within a month at most. By then, all the Splitclaw clan members in the entire Dark Mountains, young and old, would Regardless of gender or status, we are heading towards Transia..
