Chapter 248 247. Korando’s malice

"These bastards are so ruthless. They slaughtered an unlucky clan as soon as they escaped."

Standing on the ruins of the city wall in the night of Scarlet Castle, Murphy withdrew his vision. The high-altitude bird's-eye view from Reifno allowed him to keep track of the movements of Hogg and his gang at all times.

He saw how the "pangolin" he personally selected ferociously entered the abandoned village, how it brutally executed the leaders and barbarians who disobeyed it, and then gave it all the female jackals in the clan.

of tribesmen.

Murphy was not a biologist and had no interest in watching "Jackal Porn", so he stopped watching to avoid getting corns.

"This is how they survive, Master."

Maxim, who rushed back from the Dark Barony, stood behind Murphy and whispered:

"They live a life of robbery like bandits, and they have to rob everything. Although everyone on this land hates jackals, in fact many people know that the people they rob the most are their own people.

.

However, even gnolls have their advantages.

They will only kill the rebellious males after each raid, but the females and cubs will not be harmed in any way. Even the cubs that do not belong to them will be raised by them and then driven out of the tribe to let them fend for themselves.

From this point of view, these barbarians are still somewhat humane."

"This may be why there are so many alien races in the Dark Mountains, but only the Jackals can cause a black disaster that shakes the continent. It is also the source of their strength, the desire to protect females and cubs engraved in their bones.

Protecting females can give birth to more children, and protecting children can keep the bloodline of the race from being cut off. These two points are enough to ensure that the gnolls are always expanding."

Murphy said softly:

"Oh, this is much more civilized than some evil-minded humans. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Hogg is a cunning dog and he will protect himself. I'm afraid it will be the winner the next time I contact him.

It's time."

"But aren't you afraid of its betrayal?"

Maxim said with some confusion:

"There's no such thing as loyalty to a jackal. Although I think that Hogg is weird and doesn't look like a serious jackal, but if I don't, he will be captured by his despicable nature."

"Then what do we have to lose?"

Murphy asked rhetorically:

"Our investment in Hogg so far is only some tattered leather armor and cold weapons. It is gratifying for us that he remains loyal, but even if he rebels, the most he can do is lead the way for the gnolls to attack through the underground tunnel.

Scarlet Keep.

But don't forget what's on the third floor of the sewer.

If King Kenbot is willing to help us completely solve the troublesome ghoul disaster in the sewers, I will even award it with a 'Good Citizen' medal as the governor of Transia.

Best of all, Mark!

When I say that I want to give all creatures on this earth an equal life, I am not joking or trying to make a mark on idealistic intellectuals like Professor Malcolm.

I really plan to do this.

Hogg is an attempt.

If it and its people are willing to abandon their savage nature and become a member of this land, I will really give them the Smuggler's Woodland as their territory and turn it into a 'Gnoll Reserve'."

"I cannot understand, my lord."

Maxim was always candid in front of Murphy. He said:

"I'm not saying that equality is bad, but I always feel that your ideal is difficult for others to accept. I was once a human being, and I know that there are three, six, and nine classes among human beings. Even if you give them equal personality, it won't change anything.

.

The rich will always oppress the poor, the powerful will always treat the rich as slaves, and the powerful can take advantage of the first three at will.

This is mainland China’s tradition, and it’s not something you can change with a single edict.”

"This is not a simple ideal, Mark."

Murphy is always willing to explain his ideas to those close to him and persuade them to join him instead of issuing orders. He does not regard such explanations and teachings as a waste of time.

He said:

"In fact, I came up with such a slogan out of quite selfish motives.

Think about it, if in the future Transia could have gnolls as pioneers, kobolds to mine for us, human wisdom to preside over the development of this land, and dwarf and halfling technology as logistical support,

We can have the ingenuity of the elves to make various tools for us.

During the day, we have the Songhai people blessed by the sun protecting the land, and at night, we have powerful vampires patrolling everywhere.

Whenever our warriors charge forward, there are healers from the Church of Avalon behind us, the brave and keen Winter Wolf monks are our eyes and claws, and the Gaia Guards of Mother Earth are our unbreakable enemies.

wall.

Do you dare to imagine the power that such a country can gather?

Each ethnic group has its own advantages and values, and when they can be used by you, it's not just a case of 1+1 equals 2.

No one has ever tried to bring everyone together under the same banner. It is certainly difficult, but we should give it a try. After all, the Blood Vulture Clan is now so poor that there is no extra cost in trying.

And the most important thing.”

The vampire lord looked back at Maxim and said seriously:

"My warriors like this style! They come from a more advanced and civilized world, and after they see what we do, they will realize that we are the group that represents the most advanced ideas in this world.

ideal!

Mark, this ideal is not only for me, you, Tris and Miriam, but also for my warriors.

A warrior armed with ideals and hopes can burst out with enough power to change the world.

That's not something illusory!

I've talked to them and I know similar things have happened in their world."

Maxim listened to all this with a dull face.

After Murphy finished speaking, he still answered quite frankly:

"Actually, I couldn't understand you when you mentioned Songhai and the vampires fighting together. Please forgive me for being stupid, but I really can't imagine what it would be like for the Sons of the Sun and the Sons of Midnight to cooperate.

A scene of disaster.”

"So, when you have nothing to do, go to Professor Malcolm's and take more history classes. Learning more history will always be very useful for your brain that wants to think but is not capable of complex thinking."

Murphy snorted.

He did not rebuke Maxim, but pointed in the direction of Baron Lim and said:

"The next step there will be your battlefield. Just like you did in the Dark Barony, sweep through there in seven days and drive all the gnolls to the Earl of Xiko and the Under Armor Hills.

After this battle is over, we will begin to deal with the Kenport gang."

"I can understand this, and I am willing to do such a simple thing for you, so, as you command! My master."

——

The Jackal warlord Ken Porter, who was being talked about by Murphy and Maxim, was also having a night conversation with another vampire.

Of course, compared to the polite ancient races, the conversation that took place in the Under Armor Hills was more or less uncomfortable, both in content and style.

Kenbot is a powerful gnoll barbarian leader.

Its full name is Kenbot Bone-Gnasher!

From this extraordinary surname, we can see the "extraordinary origin" of this Excellency. It comes from the Bone-gnawing clan, which was the clan founded by the Bone-gnawing King who caused the disaster on the continent 111 years ago.

If the gnolls also pay attention to the order of elders and younger ones and the hierarchy of status, then the Bonegnashers clan is a proper "royal clan".

Unfortunately, the civilization of the gnolls is a tribe that has the strong will of the weak engraved into their bones. Therefore, after the Bonegnasher King disappeared in the filthy swamp and died in defeat, the Bonegnasher clan also lost its position as commander.

However, as one of the most powerful gnoll clans, they are still qualified to live in the Moss Valley. This makes the members of the Bonegnasher clan fat and strong, almost completely different from ordinary gnolls.

.

Take Ken Porter for example.

Its height reaches an exaggerated 2.8 meters, like a "giant species" among jackals.

Under the mane with a special pattern is a strong body. It can lift a heavy shield that ordinary gnolls need two people to pick up with one hand, and the skull flail it is best at using is divided into three strands on the hammer head and is also covered with secret techniques.

The master cast a vicious spell.

The most obvious thing about his identity is that this guy has a plate armor!

Real plate armor.

Although the craftsmanship is rough, only the gnoll elders of Moss Valley can make such terrifying armor. When Ken Porter wears it, he looks like a steel can. Coupled with its Silver-level strength and true warrior elite

Template, once this guy starts to attack, not to mention the jackals, even the trolls will have to stay away.

Powerful personal force is the standard equipment of Jackal leaders, and the peculiar thing about Ken Porter is that this guy is a barbarian and a "priest" at the same time.

Although gnolls have no gods of their own, they, like vampires, have created beliefs for themselves out of thin air.
