384.From King of the Glades to Lord of the Marshes (page 2/2)
Although the undead creatures are all dead, they were also given a certain degree of "free will" when they were pulled back from the embrace of death in the underworld. If you want to enslave the undead creatures, you must fight against this "will of the dead."”.
This is very difficult for beginners, and novices like Goudan who have changed jobs for less than a day cannot even think about it..
But now with Hogg's help, Goudan successfully completed the enslavement. However, this process also drained Goudan's pitiful spiritual energy from his body, leaving him to sit on the ground, panting and resting, while feeling the strange feeling. Changes brought about by the Pact of the Dead.
It seems that part of his own will has been extended and is bound to the skeleton cavalry in a "bound" manner. He can give it some vague instructions..
This method of instruction will gradually become more refined as his understanding of the coffin-carrying profession and his psychic manipulation improve..
According to the stories he heard from Mrs. Tris when he changed jobs, it is said that the masters of the dead in the Holy City of the Moon can even command their zombie brides to dance for guests with a song that is no less than an elegant dancer and has a desert style. belly dance.
But that legendary realm is obviously still a bit far away for Goudan..
“that scepter！”
As a blood torturer, Cheche keenly noticed the command staff on Hogg's waist, and he asked tentatively：
“Can it be sold?？”
“You are so discerning, greedy warrior.”
Hogg was not angry because the warrior coveted his baby. On the contrary, the cunning gnoll rode on his warg and said in a mysterious voice.：
“I am willing to give it to you, but I can't do it now. I only have this scepter in my hand, and I still have to use it to defend my clan..
But I don’t know for sure in the future. Maybe in the future I will give this powerful magic weapon as a gift to those friends of the Bloodclaw clan..
Yes
As long as we can be good friends！
Everything that exists in our treasury, everything that I have is available to you.
But now, I have to leave first. Please let your friends manage their skeleton cavalry and don't let it run rampant in my den..
Also, my hunters told me that the part of the woodland bordering the Andeman Hills has been recently infested with vampires from the Wolfsbane clan..
Why don't you grant eternal death to those enemies in the name of Lord Murphy? Oh, that beautiful word is called 'Eternal Silence', which is really hard to pronounce for the tongue of a jackal..”
After saying that, Hogg drove the majestic warg and quickly disappeared into the big beast's den under the protection of Nash and several elite hunters and barbarians..
Cheche and Good Pigeon, who were left here, stared at each other, Cheche complained.：
“It doesn’t matter if I’m being slapped hard by Master Murphy, how come even the jackals can give me a slap? The NPCs in this game are really eye-opening..”
“But you have to admit that although Hogg's pie is straightforward and lacks depth, it is well drawn..”
Good Pigeon narrowed her eyes and said：
“That Scepter of Command! That thing can definitely effectively enhance the destructive power of us psionicists. If Hogg, a jackal thief, can use it, then we can also use it and use it better..
If Hogg's clan can really sell this kind of thing in the future, then not only will hunters have to gain reputation here, but psionicists will also flock here..
By the way, hasn't Meow Shark been trying to increase the reputation of the Bloodclaw clan recently so that he can learn the secret technique of taming hyenas?？
I think we should give him some support and let him become the first little player to brush up the Bloodclaw clan to the level of worship. In this way, we can enjoy this wave of version bonuses first..”
“What a great idea! Let's go find Meow Shark.”
——
“This way! Chief, you can get to where you want to go faster from here..”
Hogg and his party quickly entered the Filthy Swamp via a path known only to jackals..
This swamp land that is unbearably smelly to ordinary people seems very comfortable to the jackals. Even the hyenas and wargs under their crotches felt some kind of "happiness" in the mud and started to have fun..
As the hunting captain, Nash leads the way. In the past period, it has led clan hunters deep into the swamp several times, and it is already very familiar with this place..
But Nash knew what Hogg was going to do today, so during a break after traveling for an hour, Nash leaned over and waggled his tail and asked softly:：
“Chief, do you really want to risk contact with those dangerous plague warlocks? Will they kill us? That big idiot Ken Porter isn't exactly friendly to us..
It calls us 'crippled bastards'’.
I guess the gnolls from the Dark Mountains all have this arrogant attitude..”
“It's not a matter of whether I think about it or not, Nash..”
While eating the dried venison, Hogg glanced at the calculation orb hanging on his wrist. There was a clear mission directly from Lord Murphy..
That was an order he couldn't refuse.
“I initially felt that it was enough for me to be satisfied that our clan could safely stay in Smuggler's Grove. However, Nash, when I realized that Lord Murphy and his warriors were preparing to march into the swamp, I realized that maybe the Blood Claw The clan's future doesn't lie in hiding in the woodlands.”
Hogg enjoyed discussing these issues with Nash.
Not just because Nash has a similar background, but also because Nash is smart enough to understand Hogg's thoughts.
Chief Bloodclaw looked at the mud swamp in front of him, which was blocked by low trees and intertwined vines, and whispered.：
“This swamp, Nash, maybe we can have it! We can build a kingdom for the Bloodclaw Gnolls in this hidden swamp.’.
It's more secretive and richer here.
Human beings avoid this place but we can live in it. This is a heaven-sent place..
There are too few clansmen that Smuggler's Grove can accommodate. Only by taking over the Filthy Swamp and only after I become the 'Swamp Lord' can the Bloodclaw clan develop to a stronger stage..
And you also saw the scenes of those skeleton armies attacking us mercilessly..
Even though they are controlled by the Plague Warlock, those guys who are supposed to be our compatriots don't care about our life or death at all..”
Hogg snorted and said：
“They are not even as friendly to us as Lord Murphy's warriors. In that case, why don't we take advantage of their inevitable defeat to reap a huge benefit for our clan?？”
Nash was a little scared after hearing the Chief's ambition..
Although it is smart, it does not have Hogg's bizarre experiences nor a vampire to open the door to its ambitions..
Hogg blinked when he saw Nash's fearful lowered tail. He patted Nash's shoulder with his paw and whispered：
“After I lead my people into the swamp, I will leave Smuggler's Grove to you, Nash, where you can build your own clan.”
“no I do not！”
Nash was even more frightened, it screamed in fear：
“‘I know Nash One's story, the rest of the tribe just thought it was bad luck, but I know why it died, Chief, I swear to the Lord of the Hunt！
I will never betray you！”
“Ha, don't be afraid.”
Hogg nodded with satisfaction, stood up, ate the venison in his hand, and said：
“Mr. Murphy said it well, fear is also a motivation! Then follow my footsteps, otherwise the next 'Nash' will replace you.
Let's go, Plague Town is just ahead..
In the name of the remnants of King Kenbot, let us get in touch with those arrogant plague warlocks, just to see in advance how rich the inheritance we can 'inherit' from them is..”
