425.The gnoll ferryman on the River Styx will be named Hogg from today onwards (page 1/2)
Smuggler's Glade has become overrun with undead..
This is not something that happened in the past few days. Ever since Hogg and the Plague Clan came online, this special "strategic resource" has been growing in the Smuggler's Wood at a very terrifying speed..
With the arrival of the team of Plague Warlocks and Necromancers from Plague Town, the ratio of gnolls to undead in the area where the Bloodclaw clan is located has reached an astonishing level.40：1.
That is to say, the undead do not need food and rest, otherwise the logistics work of this force alone would be enough to collapse Hogg and his tribe..
That many mouths are enough to chew through every piece of bark in Smuggler's Grove from top to bottom..
But despite this, the Blood Claw clan's life during this period was not so easy. The gathering of a large number of undead caused the concentration of death spiritual energy in the area to soar. These cold powers of the dead were a terrible oppression for living life. Intelligent life can still fight with courage, but beasts with keener senses are not so stubborn. Therefore, the animals in the forest escape in large numbers, making it difficult for Hogg's hunters to catch enough meat..
Fortunately, the previous transaction with Scarlet Castle allowed Hogg to stockpile a large amount of food in a secret location, so that his people would not go hungry at this difficult time..
But it won’t work if it goes on like this.！
The threat of sitting on nothing is unacceptable to any wise ruler, let alone a smart guy like Hogg..
It can completely see the threat of prolonging this matter..
And not just it, basically all the commanders of the entire Bloodclaw clan have seen this problem..
“Chief! We need to get them out of here quickly！”
Nash, Hogg's most trusted lieutenant, said to his chief with a sad face.：
“Our hunters have not hunted any fresh meat for four days in a row. Even the stupidest roe deer are afraid of the undead and have fled into the vicinity of Lake Shurpos. I sent people to fish, but we jackals are Really bad at this.
If this continues, we will starve to death..”
“Psychic! filthy！”
Standing on the other side of Hogg, the kobold leader Jinya was also holding a "luxury bone staff" decorated with candles, and stammered.：
“The breath of evil spirits is changing spiritual energy! Our forest land will be polluted by erosion, and they must, must be driven away！”
“Those damn warlocks are digging up the cemeteries where we bury our people, Hogg..”
The leader of the barbarians, Martai Retarded, also waved the jackal club and shouted:：
“They also plan to turn our most powerful barbarians into bones. This is intolerable..”
“Shut up! shut up！”
Seeing that several other leaders were also eager to give some advice, Hogg suddenly shouted:：
“Listen to me, you idiots, just bear with it a little longer. They will leave in two days at most, and I will personally take them out of our precious woodland. Nash, have you found the route I asked you to find?？”
it looks at the adjutant.
Nash immediately unfolded a roll of animal skin map he drew in front of his chief like a treasure. He pointed at several marks and crooked routes on the map with his sharp claws and said,：
“Just go through here! Chief Hogg, from here you can bypass the Transanian sentries on the hills, and cross the two tributaries at night to slip into East Prussia. From your footing point, you can walk east in three hourglasses to the west. Orchid's sentry.
There were originally a lot of people there, but the short-term marshal took away all the soldiers there and sent them to Transia, so the number of soldiers there dropped sharply..
I sent a few hunters who were not afraid of death to have a look. Some of the gnolls who had escaped from Transia were also entrenched in the nearby ravine..
Our hunters have contacted them. They were beaten badly by the new recruits of the Pioneer Legion. As soon as they heard that reinforcements were coming from the Dark Mountains, they immediately expressed their willingness to lead the way. They know where there are many good things nearby..
We just need to take those damn warlocks over there and forget about it. Our compatriots over there will do the rest for us..
But the question now is, doesn’t Chief Tear Meat not allow us to expand the war?？
Its warlocks won't listen to us either..”
“Hey, who needs them to be obedient?？”
Hogg sneered at this and sarcastically said：
“I admit that those warlocks are very powerful, but so what? This is their first time coming to Transia. They don’t know the road at all. Wherever I take them, they can only follow..
Most importantly, our 'friends' will take care of everything.
Don't worry, I guarantee that those 'noble' and arrogant warlocks will only have this way to go in the end..
So, go get ready.”
Chief Bloodclaw looked at the map in front of him and whispered：
“I will take them away tomorrow. Before I come back, you guys should keep a low profile. We are friends of the Transians now. But those Sealanders will not admit us so quickly, so be prepared.！
If they insist on using us poor local gnolls to show off their power and dare not challenge the powerful gnolls in the Dark Mountains, then give them some good looks.！
Let them know that the Bloodclaw clan is not someone to be trifled with either..”
——
Time flew by, and soon it was time to execute Chief Flesh Tearer's order. In the night of the Smuggler's Wood, Hogg rode his warg and led a dozen clever hunters and barbarians in front of him. , and behind them were three thousand jackal skeletons..
These skeleton armies are more powerful than the previous elites.
The gnoll necromancers blessed them with thick bone armor and weapons with filthy poison. The most important thing is that this is a skeleton army with complete equipment and personnel..
There are everything from infantry to archers to skeleton mages and cavalry, as well as carrion birds flying in the air as eyeliners. In addition to the eight plague warlocks and twelve necromancers guarded by the skeleton army at the core, the team There are also quite conspicuous "zombie giants"”.
Well, these guys are actually undead bone-gnawing barbarians..
I don’t know what went wrong, but at the same time that Hogg was “trapping” those bone-gripping soldiers who had strong opinions about him, a “mutiny” seemed to have taken place in Plague Town.”.
Anyway, there are no living bone-gnawing barbarians there now. The warlocks of the Plague Clan have turned them all into stronger and more loyal gnoll zombies..
It’s hard to say whether there is a factor in Lame Claw’s urgent need for a “guinea pig”. Anyway, Hogg feels that this matter must have something to do with him..
It was it that personally ignited the hidden conflict between the bone-gnawing barbarians and the poison warlocks, but for Hogg, who would definitely "do all the bad things" in the future, this was just a trivial attempt..
It will lead the way very carefully.
With this powerful army behind them, they advance towards the human arsenal and military camp in the Under Armor Hills. The order from Chief Flesh Tearer requires them to destroy such strategic locations to delay the enemy's activities..
The skeleton army of nearly 3,000 people marched in the night with very little movement, almost like a "silent mode". Those cold poison warlocks also used psychic means to provide concealment for this army. enchantment.
From this we can see the degree of "martial virtue" of the gnolls in the Dark Mountains. Even if it is a "small-scale attack" in their eyes, they must use their spiritual energy on the blade..
In comparison, the petty quarrels of the local jackals are really like mud that cannot hold up the wall..
Hogg couldn't help but complain in his heart. It's not without reason that the Jackals of the Dark Mountains look down on these "foreign Jackals" in his family..
There is almost no similarity between the two sides on any level.
It has been getting closer to Cripple Claw recently, and it also heard from the mentally disturbed Crip Claw that some Gnoll Overseers in the Dark Mountains have proposed to separate the glorious Dark Mountain tribe from the Gnolls outside..
Those guys gave the foreign gnolls a very insulting new name..
They want to call other jackals besides themselves "Yuren" to express the difference between the two sides..
As for what kind of animal "狋" is, Hogg still doesn't know yet. There is no such strange creature in Transia, but if you think about it with its bald tail, you will know that it is definitely not a good word..
“It's just ahead, my lord.！”
After marching like this for five hours, Hogg sat on his warg and took a sip of water with honey. He took out the animal skin map and pretended to look at it under the light of a torch, and then looked very flatteringly at the warlock next to him. The leader "Plague Tooth" said：
