Chapter 441 440. Sad, the first kiss that has been cherished for twenty years is just gone? - [Additional update 725]

(Additional update for the "Yu Xiaohe" brothers [2/25])

Hogg rode his warg and his guards out of Plague Town dejectedly, but as soon as he entered the swamp, the guy's expression immediately became cheerful.

That shoehorned face looks like a performer, and the change of expression is so natural that one has to wonder if there is a cunning goblin soul hidden under the skin of this jackal?

"Mr. Murphy, my mission is completed."

Chief Hogg, codenamed "Pangolin", cheered on the warg.

The guards beside it also all showed relaxed expressions. These are Hogg's die-hard loyalists. They may not have a good impression of vampires, but like Hogg, they all understand that the gnolls of the Dark Mountains despise and exploit them.

What bad behavior.

In comparison, the vampires in Transia all seemed so tender and affectionate.

"Chief, now we can finally retreat to Smuggler's Wood and ignore all the bad things happening outside, right?"

A clever personal guard said with concern:

"It's so frustrating these days. Dealing with these guys from the Plague Clan is much harder than hanging around under Ken Porter. We have helped the vampires get all the defense positions in Plague Town and the information they need.

We have given them all, we should not continue.

We can’t afford to offend either of these two parties!”

"Humph, you still have beautiful thoughts."

Hogg, who was riding on the warg, said contemptuously:

"It's just that we are out of ideas. We have already chosen a side. My dear people, except for following Master Murphy all the way to the dark side, there is no other way left for us on this land.

never mind.

I don't expect you to be able to figure out such a complicated matter, but what happens next does not require our tribe to mobilize in large numbers, and you can finally live a peaceful life.

After returning, ask Nash to adjust his deployment and move the sentry post near Cato back so as not to have too much contact with the Sealanders who are about to camp there.

They are different from Lord Murphy's warriors. They don't know the key role we play in this swamp war, and I don't want the boat to capsize in the ditch."

"Chief, we don't have to be afraid of them at all!"

Another jackal guard carrying a beheading sword snorted and said contemptuously:

"Relying on your leadership, our barbarian soldiers are all fat and well-equipped! We have enough kobold land surveyors, and we also have the skeleton army given by the Plague Clan.

I admit that we cannot be the opponent of Lord Murphy and his warriors, but if they dare to enter our forest, they will never come back!"

"That's what I say, but it would be really miserable if we actually fight."

Hogg sneered at this inflated mentality. As a jackal chief who had systematically studied the history of the continent, Hogg knew very well that his clan's current strength was not enough to support their arrogance.

Perhaps the Zealanders' expeditionary vanguard really couldn't do anything to them, but once they really provoked the Plantagenet Kingdom, King Louis's anger would instantly overwhelm their small clan.

So

Low profile!

You must be low-key at this stage.

What's more, judging from the current situation, there is nothing wrong with being a dog for Mr. Murphy!

The whole clan is well fed and living well. As long as they continue this correct strategy and follow Lord Murphy's invincible warriors to pick up some leftovers, it will be good enough.

"Besides, isn't there a large amount of 'legacy' waiting for us to inherit?"

Hogg let out a weird laugh. He looked back at Plague Town, which had been shrouded in fog and could not be seen, from the warg saddle. He narrowed his eyes.

This town and this swamp.

It is impossible for humans to live here for a long time. Even the toughest warriors will be crushed by the bad environment of the filthy swamp. However, the jackals like the humidity and mud here very much.

In other words, once Lord Murphy owns this place, Hogg can also take advantage of it.

It would be a fantasy to have the entire swamp under its commander, but holding the Plague Suppressor in his hands can more than double the territory of the Bloodclaw clan in an instant. The core of the clan will be moved here, and Smuggler's Glade will become their

's frontier.

hey-hey.

"Lord of the Swamp" Hogg Bonegnasher, this title is really awesome.

——

"The gnoll warlocks in Plague Town are shrinking their defense line. They have removed all twenty-six outposts in the past seven days, leaving only some mediocre skeleton troops guarding there.

If they weren't preparing to retreat, this would be enough to show that these jackals must be making big moves."

On a giant bush stuck in the mud in the filthy swamp, the scout Anbo put down the telescope with psychic energy in his hand and said to the vigilant Niu Niu squatting next to him:

"Our reconnaissance operation has finally come to an end. The information collected now, combined with the defense map brought back by Hogg's Bloodclaw clan, is enough for Lord Murphy to launch a surprise attack.

Unfortunately, we still haven't been able to find the direction in which the jackals are about to move. The forbidden area deep in this swamp is very large. It is difficult to judge the specific route without going in person.

Are you listening to what I'm saying?

Why are you always staring at me stupidly? Is there something dirty on my face?"

"Uh, nothing."

The questioned Niu Niu coughed and said seriously:

"You are a scout and I am not. I am just a guard who came to protect you. I definitely don't understand what you are saying, but judging from your confident look, I guess you must have come to a complete conclusion.

So, can we leave?"

Having said this, Niu Niu moved his shoulders in discomfort and complained:

"Life in the swamp is too bad. I've had enough of the damn environment here. Although it won't have any impact if I don't take a shower, my body will stink.

Even a grown man like me can't stand it, I really don't know how a girl like you can stand it."

"What is this?"

An Bo was amused by Niu Niu's "rich brother's statement". She packed her things into her camping bag and said:

"In the early days of the Ten Years' War, we were sent to fight against the mountain people in the mountains and forests of the Sachs region. Although it was a forest, the environment there was no better than a filthy swamp.

I remember that Natalie and I huddled together in a cave for two months. After we came out of the forest alive, I felt like my whole being was sublimated.

It is impossible for a spoiled guy like you to understand that kind of cruelty. Even being unable to take a bath is considered a kind of torture to you. Niu Niu, although you are getting stronger and stronger, your mentality has not changed yet.

He is still a kid from a rich family, and in my opinion he is almost like a playboy."

"Huh? I'm still a kid from a rich family, right?"

Niu Niu snorted, stood up and helped Anbo put away the reconnaissance equipment set up on the trunk of a short tree. He whispered:

"I'm already a rough guy over there. If you ask Ashina or Mrs. Shui to spend ten days in the swamp without being able to bathe, they'll probably go crazy."

"So I can't always understand what kind of fairy life you live in your world."

Amber sighed.

After a few seconds, she asked:

"So, Niu Niu, if I were born on your side, what kind of life should I live now?"

"Oh, let me think."

Niu Niu jumped down from the tree with a heavy load on his back, and stepped into the mud with his combat boots.

He naturally stretched out his hand to hold An Bo's wrist and took the latter down from the tree, even though An Bo's dexterity did not require Niu Niu's help.

The two of them just stepped on the mud and headed towards the evacuation point to join the other six teams of scouts scattered in the swamp to prepare for evacuation.

The environment of the swamp is naturally very poor, but it is very quiet here. Due to the existence of Plague Town, all the nearby swamp beasts have already disappeared, and there is no sound of birds.

In order to avoid being discovered, Niu Niu and An Bo could only move forward as slowly as possible. After thinking for more than ten seconds, Niu Niu said to An Bo:

"If you were with us, you would receive the safest protection from your parents from birth, and professional pediatricians would check your health regularly. You would grow up in a warm home until the age of three and then enter kindergarten to start general education.

, then elementary school, junior high school, high school, and university.

Keep studying until you are in your twenties. You can choose to continue your studies according to your interests and expertise, swim in the sea of ​​learning, or you can choose to enter the society and find a job that can support your family.

You may encounter a shady boss, or you may not find opportunities to move up due to mediocrity, but basic food and clothing can always be guaranteed.

Even if you do nothing, you can spend your life in the way you want and in line with reality.

You will find a husband who loves you.

You will start a family with him and have children of your own, and then take care of him the same way your parents take care of you, until he reaches adulthood, until you retire and start enjoying the red sunset life, until you finish your last life amid the mourning of your relatives and friends.

Procedure.

In fact, there is no difference between there and here."

Niu Niu scratched his head and said:

"I can't tell you what it's like to spend my whole life there. After all, I haven't even completed the first stage of my life yet. I'm still a poor student.

Not afraid of your jokes, I am very confused about the future.
