Lord of War

Vol 2 Chapter 118: . Sean's new subordinates

Of the two agreements, the first one is already regarded as an open agreement. It is a proof of friendship with the heavy hammer, now the chief of the heavy rock tribe, Ataba; the other is a private and secret negotiation with the high priest of the heavy rock. A guarantee for the development and prosperity of the entire tribe. Of course, the second secret agreement is based on the supplement and guarantee of the first agreement, and as long as the High Priest’s approval is obtained, the Heavy Rock Tribe is bound to Sean’s chariot at this moment.

  Here in the wild land, the recognition of the high priest and the great witch priest is far more practical than the chief.

  At present, the size of the Chongyan tribe is still small, and there is only one ethnic group of barbarians. When the scale expands in the future, the surnames of the ethnic group increase or other ethnic groups begin to join, then the tribe will begin to increase the presbytery. Although the authority of the presbytery is not as great as that of the chief, the decision of the elders in the entire tribe also has the right to vote for and against. If there are more negative votes, even the chief has to worry about the opinions of the presbytery.

  If that time comes, the approval of the High Priest of Heavy Rock will be extremely important.

  It’s just that once the tribe becomes stronger, the position of the high priest and the great witch priest will definitely be occupied by those who can. In this way, Ronan, who was trained by the High Priest of Heavy Rock, became an indispensable part of this plan.

  A young and talented great witch sacrifice, I am afraid that no one can replace him in his lifetime.

After the secret agreement was finalized, the high priest left the tent. Cecilia still wanted to stay here, but Sean did not agree, so Cecilia could only leave with a look of resentment and went back to her tent to sleep. .

  The next day, the work of cleaning up the hammer tribe was still proceeding in an orderly manner, but because of the participation of the bearmen and the northern barbarians, the work of cleaning up the ruins was obviously much faster. As for Andre and Cecilia’s teaching, I’m afraid we will have to wait for a while. According to the High Priest of Chongyan, we must wait for the earth hut to be established. This kind of respect must not be abolished.

  Since even the High Priest of Chongyan said so, of course Xiao En and others would not object to it.

  So when we went to bed the next day, Sean came to the east corner of the tribe.

  Here, there are still three prisoners imprisoned.

  Two lizardmen and a pure blood eye goblin.

  At the dinner yesterday, Sean didn’t treat them badly either, and he sent them a meal of meat. Of course, it’s impossible to get too much weight.

  Today, when these three people saw Xiao En, the hostility in their eyes disappeared a lot, but it was impossible to give Xiao En a good face. After all, all of the three men died in the hands of Xiao En alone. The specific rules of this goblin’s tribe are not clear to Sean, but Sean has a good understanding of the situation in Luoxi. policy.

   To put it simply, it is to give some manpower to each of the clan disciples in the tribe, and then let them develop on their own. Only the top group of people can be qualified to compete for the tribe chief.

  Like the two lizardmen in front of me, they are obviously disciples of the clan who are not respected. Otherwise, the two will not be combined and there are only 30 lizardmen. At this moment, they have eliminated all their subordinates, and they have only two paths left to go-either go back to the tribe and serve as subordinates to other people. In this case, there may be a chance to make a comeback in the future; or they can only go back. When the tribe is an ordinary lizardman, giving up the right to compete for the chief, it is of course impossible to have a good life. There is also a lot of work to do in the west of Luoxi.

  After all, Luo Xiluo is a genuine second-class tribe, and there are far more than one witch sacrifices in the tribe.

For the powerful teams that Luo Xilu falls in the foreign campaign, almost every team has at least one witch sacrifice, and there may even be two or three witch sacrifices. These are the most powerful campaigns for the next Luo Xilu chieftain. By. And even if the lizardmen of this type are defeated and the entire army is almost destroyed, as long as they return to the tribe to call, there will be countless Rossi's lizardmen willing to join their team.

  It is precisely because of this that the stronger and higher the strength and status of those Luoxi Lizardmen who fail, it is rarely possible to return to the tribe alive and start a new team. It's not that the people fighting with him are unwilling to let them go, but that other Luoxi Lizardmen who are equally powerfully competing for the position of the chief will never watch their competitors get up again.

Because of such rules, Luo Xiluo can always maintain the highest level of high-end combat power in the wild land, and it also gives the outside world an illusion that Luo Xiluo is an extremely powerful mercenary army. . Of course, it’s true that Ataba said that these lizardmen in Luoxi were bandits and bandits before, because there are indeed many murders of employers, but such behaviors are actually only for one purpose. It is the strength of one's own troops in order to better compete for the position of chief.

  But Sean was in a good mood and decided to give them a third way.

   "Be loyal to me, and I will let you regain the qualifications to compete for tribal chiefs." Standing in front of the two lizardmen, Sean said straightforwardly.

   "It's impossible!" A lizard man spit out his tongue like a snake, his voice was slightly hoarse and low, "We Luo Xiluo warriors will never compromise with any foreign enemy! You still kill me!"

   Xiao En smiled, did not speak, but turned to look at the lizard man on the right: "What do you say?"

"How do you ensure that we have the qualifications to re-evaluate the tribal chief?" This lizard man doesn't sound as determined as his companion, but shows signs of letting go. "We Luo Xiluo can't use other people. If you want to have the qualifications to compete for the chief, you must use the lizardman race. We call this the purity of blood."

   "I know." Sean sat on the floor, seeming not to mind the mess on the ground.

There is also an express stipulation in Luoxiluo’s chief competition, that all tribesmen who intend to compete for chieftain must use lizardmen. Once people of other races become their own soldiers, then It is equivalent to announcing the waiver of the eligibility for the chief to compete. Although the rules say so, there are actually a lot of black-box operations in it, because the regulations state that as long as the lizard people become soldiers under their command, it does not prevent these candidates from accepting help from foreign ethnic groups.

   "I happen to have a group of lizardmen under my command. Although the number is small, I believe that the combat effectiveness is still very secure." Xiao En nodded and said.

In the batch of slaves that Vivienne gave to Sean, there were hundreds of lizardmen. It is said that they came from three different tribes, and their fighting strength was very good, and they are now in the hands of William and Alfred. On a lap, the combat effectiveness is naturally only high and not low. If the two lizardmen are willing to accept Sean’s terms, Sean does not mind giving these two lizardmen more benefits, such as a complete set of armaments, and even allowing them to participate in Cecilia and Andrea. Two people's teaching.

  All these benefits are clearly visible.

   "Any kind of ours under your command?" The low-sounding lizard man on the left showed disdain, "It must be the slaves captured by you humans!"

"Indeed." Sean did not deny it, because it is indeed true. "But what does it matter? I didn't treat them badly, but treated them equally. As long as you want, I can treat you like that, of course. The premise is that you can get the results.... I never need any useless people under my command, so there are some things I have to say ahead, even if you are loyal to me, but you also have to come up with the results you deserve. , Otherwise I have manpower to replace you."

"Hmph, it's impossible for me to betray the tribe!" The lizardman yelled angrily without thinking about it. If it weren't for his hands and feet **** at the moment, and there were two bearmen watching over him, I'm afraid I really want to kill Sean here.

   "Your companion doesn't seem to want it, what do you think?" Shaun turned his head and looked at another lizard man.

  In his opinion, the lizard man on the left is really a bit stubborn, but this is just because the positions of the two sides are different, in fact, Sean does not hate such a person. On the contrary, although the lizard man on the right is likely to surrender and become his own subordinate, Sean does not dare to take it lightly. After all, if a person like this can betray the first time, then he will naturally. Betrayed the second time and the third time.

However, as long as the other party has enough ability, Sean can also accept and appoint, because as Andrew said when he was chatting with Andrew before: "Then you just don’t give the other party a chance to betray yourself. ?"

When he first heard this, Sean didn’t really understand it, and it could even be said that he was a bit at a loss, but as he left the territory and went to the Wildlands, Sean also began to understand and feel the weight of this sentence. . Since he wants to bring these two lizardmen into his subordinates, then he doesn't need to be afraid of their betrayal. As long as he can always show the strong strength like defeating them at the beginning, it will be enough to make these two people loyal. .

   "May I ask you a question?" The lizard man on the right did not immediately answer Sean's words, but only asked after a moment of indulgence.

"what is the problem?"

"Help me continue to participate in the battle for the chief, and even make me a chief..." the lizardman said, "I am right? Just fighting for the position of the chief, you are obviously not satisfied, just follow what you just said. His tone and attitude clearly wanted me to be the chief of Luo Xiluo, right?"

  Sean smiled and nodded. This lizard man is indeed very sane, and not only sane, but also very smart.

  Kobolds inherited the greed of the dragon, the lizardmen inherited the wisdom of the dragon, and the half-dragons inherited the wild nature of the dragon. These three sentences are true.

After getting Sean’s confirmation in person, the lizardman finally continued to speak again: “If that’s the case, then I can ask, why do you want to get Luoxiluo?... What do you know about the Wildlands? Obviously not like the one-sided and narrow-mindedness of ordinary outsiders, you even know the "purity of blood" this Luoxilu competitive ceremony, and the barbarian who is now probably the chief also calls you a great guest-oh , I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but I believe you must know the barbarian’s loud voice very well..."

  The smile on Sean’s face was obviously even greater. Not only did the clever lizard man change his tone, even his name and attitude changed accordingly.

"Big noble guest, it is not a term that can be used by a fifth-class tribe. This proves that you are at least a distinguished guest of a first-class tribe, so I don't believe what you said to that barbarian." The lizard There is a strange light in people’s eyes. This light is very common. Almost everyone who believes in their own words will have this look, "At least a large part of me don’t believe it, because this There is no free food in the world."

  The lizard man on the left is already looking at his companion with a look of surprise, as if it was the first time he knew his companion. And not only this lizard man, but also the blood-eyed goblin guarded in another cage also has a surprised expression. Although a lot of content may not be understood by the poor IQ of the goblin, such as "big guest", "chief", "Blood ritual" and other words, this goblin is still very clear.

"What's your name?"

   "Kruma." The lizardman replied, "Kruma from the Loadhoff clan in the western part of the country."

The    clan is a kind of name similar to the last name of the orc clan, but in fact, there is still a little essential difference from humans. For example, the term "clan" in human society is no longer used. Instead, the term "family" is used instead. The original meaning is to refer to blood relationship, but clan is more in-depth and pure, because it refers to Blood relationship is not pure blood relationship.

  Like in human society, a woman marries another man. Although she will call this lady by her husband’s family name, this lady still has her own matrilineal family surname. But in the Western Continent or the wild land, if a woman marries another man, then she can no longer keep her surname, but must change her surname with her husband, even if the husband’s clan and the woman’s clan happen in the future In the case of war, a woman will also choose to help her husband's clan instead of her natal clan.

  This is the clan, and it is also one of the important rules for the survival of the tribe in the wild land.

At present, the Chongyan tribe is a separate barbarian tribe. All of them are from the same clan. If another barbarian tribe joins the Chongyan tribe, the tribe is still called the Chongyan tribe. The rock tribe, but in fact there are two clans working together to maintain the glory of this tribe. In the same way, if other races join the Heavy Rock Tribe, they will also bring one or more new clans.

  This lizardman said that he was from the Krumah of the Adkhov clan, which proved that Luoxiluo was at least a tribe with more than two clans.

   "Krumah." Sean nodded, "Okay, I understand.... Your question is why I want to get Luo Xiluo?"

"Yes." Krumah nodded, "Strictly speaking, since your Excellency is so familiar and familiar with the Wildlands, then you should know that even if you let me become the chief of Luoxiluo, but I am very The control of the clan is not deep, because Luoxiluo has been developing in this way for hundreds of years, so I can't and cannot change the way of life of Luoxiluo.... In that case, you still want Rossi The tribe, what is it for?"

   "Allies." Sean smiled, "Of course, you have to understand that you are happy with the umbrella, the source of troops, the collaborator, or whatever you like. Anyway, the meaning is almost the same."

  Hearing this, let alone another lizardman and goblin, even Krumah looked suspicious.

"I can't understand." Krumah shook his head, "With the strength shown by your Excellency, even saying that you can give me enough troops to participate in the battle of the chief, I am afraid it should be a strong background and strength. That’s right. In that case, the alliance and cooperation you mentioned is something I can’t understand.... Or, here we are, you are called the Wildland?...Like our Wildland and you Outsiders, there should be no possibility of cooperation. As for the umbrella, I can't understand it. If even you need protection, I don't think Luo Xiluo can provide you with any protection."

   "No, you misunderstood." Sean shook his head, "It is not me that you need to protect, but the Chongyan tribe."

  "This tribe of barbarians?"

"Yes." Xiao En continued, "The rise of the Chongyan tribe is overwhelming, because I have reached an agreement with the chief and high priest of this tribe, and I will even lend them some of my troops to help them carry on. expansion."

   Hearing this, Krumah's eyes lit up again.

But Shaun did not finish saying: "In this process, the Heavy Rock Tribe will definitely become the target of attack. Relying solely on the current situation of the Heavy Rock Tribe will definitely not be able to survive this development period well, so I only need you. As long as you join, it appears that the Heavy Rock Tribe hired you on the surface, so at this stage, no matter what kind of racial soldiers appear under your command, it will not affect the battle for your chieftain, even in the process. , I will discuss with the heavy rock tribe to choose the lizardmen tribe to attack as much as possible, and you can also benefit from it. Anyway, as long as the lizardmen become your soldiers, it is not necessarily the lizardmen who want to land in the west. Correct?"

Krumah thought about it very seriously, and then said: "So, actually helping us to become the chief of Luoxiluo is just a follow-up reward in this plan?...Although it is loyal to you, in fact we Is the relationship of the collaborator?"

"You can understand it this way." Xiao En smiled, "But if you are willing to truly become a subordinate, then you will find that becoming the chief of a tribe is nothing at all, especially Luo Xiluo can't understand it at all. The tribe that truly controls desire...how about it, do you want to think about it?"

"Don't think about it!" The lizard man on the left couldn't wait to say again, "I won't agree to anything you say! You are tempting us to fall, and we will be cast aside by Lord Dragon God! You are dead! This heart, human!"

   "I promise you." The shrewd Krumah was not as impatient as his companion, but after a moment of indulgent thought, he spoke.

   "Krumah!" The companion on the left roared, looking like he couldn't wait to tear his own as well.

"Cruz, don't be blinded by hatred and anger." Krumah didn't seem to mind the anger of his companions, but still calmly said, "Think about it carefully. Any loss, isn't it? Are you willing to die here without dignity? Or this lord is willing to let us go, and then we go back to the tribe and continue to be the obscure soldiers and let Aroban laugh at it?"

  Hearing Krumah’s words, the lizard man named Cruz suddenly bowed his head and said nothing.

"Maybe, I can indeed become the chief of Luo Xiluo with the gift of this adult." Krumah continued, then turned his head and explained to Sean: "I hope you don't mind. In any case, Luoxiluo is the hometown where I was born and raised after all. To me, becoming the chief of this tribe is far more symbolic than actual."

   "Of course, I can understand this emotion." Sean smiled.

At this stage, the two lizardmen really have no way to give them anything back, but because of his gifts or gifts, the two lizardmen skipped back to the tribe and started mixing up with a small **** directly. Have the ability to make a comeback. Of course, with the extremely limited insights of these two lizardmen on the outside world, it is difficult to understand how huge the actual benefits Sean is willing to help them bring, but from the blueprint that Sean currently describes for them, Very lizard man indeed.

"Okay, I understand." It seemed that he was fighting fiercely with his own will. After a long time, Cruz finally nodded and agreed with Krumah's statement. "But you don't want me to call you King!"

  "Please forgive me, sir, my companion has a little temperament..."

   "It doesn't matter, what the name is, it's just a word for identification." Xiao En waved his hand indifferently, and then turned his head to look at the blood-eyed goblin, "What do you say?"

"Human, as long as you give me the same treatment as them, when I become the chief of the tribe, I will lead my entire tribe to seek refuge with you." The blood eye goblin said without hesitation, "Whether it is me or My descendants, we will always regard you as our king! Our god!"

   "What you said sounds nice." Sean let out a laugh.

  As for the credibility of the goblins, in fact, the evaluation in the human world is still good, but the situation in the wild land is a little different. After all, wars in the Wildlands are too frequent, and the goblin race is inherently weaker. In simple terms, wars have never had any advantage for the goblins. In the early wars in the Wildlands, the most casualties were Goblin.

  If not, how could the goblins be forced to evolve?

  In the wild land, any weird phenomenon is not surprising, because these are forced to evolve.

  Like a goblin's sense of smell, it is ridiculously unscientific, and it is more sensitive than the hounds carefully raised by humans outside. Even the beasts known for their sense of smell are not necessarily comparable to the goblins of the wild land. Of course, the only thing that many people feel sorry for is that the goblin's hearing has not evolved too far. Of course, this is also a restrictive law of nature. Otherwise, I am afraid that the first person who can't stand it is the goblin himself.

  After all, when it comes to fertility and reproduction, goblins and kobolds can compete.

  Like the barbarians or other tribes in the wild land, the size of generally about two hundred people is even a fifth-class tribe, and if the number exceeds five hundred, it can even become a fourth-class tribe. But goblins and kobolds, usually five or six hundred are just a fifth-class tribe. At least one thousand people can become a fourth-class tribe. Otherwise, the Yanqi tribe cannot be pulled out. A team of two hundred people came to attack the Chongyan tribe.

It’s just that even the fifth-class kobold tribe with a population of five or six hundred, after encountering the almost complete extinction of 200 kobolds, I’m afraid it’s time to live a life of trepidation.

  In comparison, this blood-eye goblin tribe can have a class of goblin cavalry, and I am afraid it should also be a relatively powerful tribe. It's just that the fertility of goblins in the Wildlands is less reliable than those in the outside world, so even at this moment, no matter how beautiful and wild it is, it is really sad for Sean to believe it.

"Master, you can trust me." The blood-eyed goblin immediately screamed, "I, Carlos, is a well-known honest person in the Great Crimson Fire Tribe! Really, my lord, look at my clearness. Eyes..."

   "But all I saw was blood red."

   "That must be because I was so excited that I was able to eat meat last night, so I didn't sleep well all night."

  Shaun laughed again.

"My lord, really, my eyes are blood red, but they are also clear blood red!" Goblin Carlos continued to shout, "Look at my clear blood red eyes, there is absolutely no trace of impurities, but they are as bright as rubies. what!"

   "I heard that rubies are very valuable. Maybe they can be dug up and sold for a good price."

"No, no, no, my lord, you must have heard it wrong. My eyes are just as bright as rubies. I am... yes, just like the adjectives you outside humans say." Carlos jumped up, but even if No matter how good his jumping ability, but for this cage with a height of two meters, it is not enough, so he did not touch the top at all. "Look, my lord, I am a literate person! Outside, people with culture and knowledge represent honesty! So you should believe me, my lord! Carlos is the most honest goblin!"

  This goblin has omitted the four words "own tribe".

   "Educated, but treated as a cunning person outside." Krumah sneered on the side.

  Caros originally wanted to say something, but when he was ridiculed by Krumah’s words, he was choked immediately, not knowing what to say for a full minute. However, goblins have always been a group of creatures with extremely fast brains, which even gave Sean an illusion, whether this goblin had deliberated everything he wanted to say in this minute to confirm that there was no omission. Dare to speak.

   "My lord, it's actually no good to be an educated person, they are all liars!" Carlos scolded all educated people in the first sentence.

  After Xiao En listened, he was madly happy. He suddenly felt that this goblin had been tuned up? The night before yesterday, he was obviously very brave, and even Sean had to admit that he did appreciate the commanding ability of this goblin, because both his judgment and commanding ability were really good, compared to all the things in Sean’s impression. The goblins are much better, even he was very bright even in the war that night.

  After all, the moment when all the goblin cavalry launched a charge assault was indeed one of the most accurate and wise judgments in the entire battle.

  The main reason Sean did not allow Cecilia to use renju fireballs and burst flames that night was that the damage was sufficient and the strategy was zero. At that point, Cecilia can only display a burst of flame or fireball, but after the first wave of attacks, the next Cecilia has to flee, and the blood produced at the beginning It's not enough to scare away the kobolds, but it will arouse their blood, which will only make the fight more difficult.

  But using Fire Cloud and Fire Rain is different.

The rain of fire, cast by Cecilia’s bloodline ability, is powerful enough to make it impossible to resist any armor except magic armor, especially the human-shaped torch that tries to resist it, and it will make the kobolds fearful. As a result, the entire army was torn apart and unable to form. And groups like kobolds, once the battle situation collapses and loses command, then they will just jump around like headless flies, without any threat at all.

  This is what Sean really wants to use.

  Otherwise, with Sean’s strength and combat power, fighting head-on with kobolds who have the goblin cavalry, lizardman, and infantry arms, I’m afraid it’s really going to be fatal and wounded. Apart from other things, none of the barbarians except Ataba Chongyan can keep them, and Andre and his men will definitely pay a lot of casualties. These are not what Sean wants to see. .

  Because of this, the goblin cavalry commanded the second tactical decision, which also seemed to have a solid foundation for the goblin named Carlos.

   Launched an assault on Sean’s running and disorganized troops. This decision cannot be said to be a bright spot, but it is absolutely correct.

  It’s just that Sean thinks the goblin’s head is not so good that this is also true.

Under normal circumstances, any commander in command who saw the almost targeted tactical attack that night, and saw that the formation of Sean’s unit was scattered because of the charge, would definitely be suspicious, and even change conventional tactics. And to support the lizard people. But Carlos launched a charge at himself without even thinking about it, without even doubting it at all. Sean really didn't know whether to say he was stupid and naive, or too dull.

   But anyway, these are also the reasons Sean wants to get the goblin back.

  It's just that he didn't expect that Carlos would be like this...a superb goblin, which made Sean wonder whether it was really worth it to use it for himself.

And at this time, it happened that Cecilia came over. She didn't hear anything else, but clearly heard this goblin saying that people with culture and knowledge are all liars, so her little face was immediately clothed. It's full of frost.

"Of course!" As soon as the goblin saw Cecilia, his face changed again, "Magic is not on this list.... I have always respected magicians, a knowledgeable person like magicians, Surely you won’t go with those profiteers. Only a wise and martial person like you, my lord, is worthy of such a beautiful Miss Mage. The two of you are really the most perfect..."

  Cecilia's face immediately turned from cloudy to clear.

   "We are brothers and sisters." Sean added.

  Cecilia's gaze looked at Sean and seemed to change a little.

   "Cough cough." Goblin Carlos coughed a few times suddenly, and he dared not say anything later, "But, like those priests, priests..."

  "What happened to the priests and priests?" I have to say that the unique sharp voice of the goblin is indeed very attractive, because even Dini was attracted.

"The same person I admire!" Carlos began to sweat, and his hands wiped the sweat from his face in a panic. Sean bet that he would be silent again if he said this again. .

However, this place is very precise and unique, because he finally realized that sometimes it was a lot of big talk, but it was a very troublesome thing, so his eyes finally looked at Sean again, and his tone became even more serious. Sincerely: "My lord, I am really happy to be your subordinate. I swear that I will always be loyal to you!...... My lord, please trust me, Carlos, the greatest loyal minister in history!"

  Cecilia pulled Sean’s sleeve slightly.

   "What's wrong?" Sean looked back.

   "This goblin is interesting, don't kill him." Cecilia said.

"Okay, since you said that." Seeing the look of expectation in Cecilia's eyes, Sean shrugged indifferently. Anyway, he didn't intend to kill the goblin, "Hurry up, Xie Sai. Celia!"

"The respected lady magician, you will be the master of my Carlos from now on!" The shrewd goblin knelt down immediately and began to kowtow to Cecilia, "The direction you are pointing is my bright future! You are my goddess!"

   "I don't want to be a goddess." Cecilia curled her lips.

   "Yes, you are not a goddess!"

  "……"

   "Haha!" This time, even the taciturn Cruz couldn't help it. "Kruma, look at that goblin, haha!"

   "Carross, can I ask you a word?" Sean asked.

  "My lord, if you ask, I must know that I can say everything, and I can say nothing!"

   "Where did you learn these words?"

"A bard," Carlos said, "Well, I once looted a caravan. There was an elf bard in it. He called himself Castil, and he became our tribe in order to survive. The captive of, taught our tribe about your human knowledge and the common language of the mainland, and then he became a guest of our tribe.... More than ten years ago, he left with a fortune of gold, but I think his departure It must be because of the forced marriage of the chief's daughter."

  Hearing this, Sean, Cecilia, and Dini all had their foreheads a little: forced to marry by a female goblin, I am afraid that a normal person will run away, not to mention the elves who are famous for their harsh aesthetics.
