Chapter 256 255 Killing two birds with one stone? Brother 'Huo Zheng is very good'
Chapter 256 255. Kill two birds with one stone?-Added update for "Huo Zheng is good" brother【520】
"This is it! You go down from here and follow the underground river to reach the sewer of Scarlet Castle."
At nightfall on the second day after the attack on the Jackal camp, by a bend in the Cadman River flowing through the Under Armor Hills, Hogg, riding a wild-haired coyote, shrank his head and looked at the few wolves following him.
Poison Pioneer said:
"My tribe and I ran out from here, but I must remind you that maybe they have discovered this place and there are dangerous things in the third floor of the sewer."
"We know, it's just a ghoul."
The leader of the Wolfsbane Vanguard is a tall guy. If you look closely, you can see that this guy's face is somewhat similar to that of Joe Pan Markchi who was killed by Murphy.
Especially the cruel look on his bearded face is exactly the same as Qiao Pan.
He is the half-brother of Jopan Macchi and another son of Corando, named Stander Corando Gangero.
It is obvious that although Mr. Corando has been a vampire for more than thirty years, he still believes in the concept of "father and son in battle". In addition to his own sons, he also has two daughters who are also in his faction.
.
However, the two Korando sisters are still staying on Greene Island to help their father manage the territory there, and have not participated in this operation in Transia.
"Since you are already here, then I will go back, right?"
Hogg acted very scared.
It interprets the form of a cunning but fearful weak jackal so realistically that the guys from the Wolfsbane Clan can actually smell the uneasy fear in its heart.
This made these cruel guys laugh contemptuously.
"Go back? Where do you want to go back?"
Stander sneered, lifted Hogg's collar and grabbed it from his equally thin coyote mount, pointed to the hidden river pit not far away and said:
"Your chief gave you an order to take us into Scarlet Castle for reconnaissance. How do I know you won't deliberately send us to death?
go!
Lead the way."
"That's not part of the deal!"
Hogg yelled, but was slapped twice by a wolfsbane huntress, making him dizzy. The latter's wolf bat claws, which were sharper and more ferocious than those of other clans, pressed against its neck with a cold voice.
explain:
"Lead the way! Or die!"
"King Kenbot will not allow you to do this."
Hogg whined twice in great grievance, but he had no choice but to call his coyote mount to wait for it nearby. He was then coerced into leading the Wolfsbane Pioneers into the passage to the Scarlet Castle Sewers again.
middle.
Its grievances are not feigned.
Its fear is real too!
After all, the wolfsbane vampires it came into contact with were completely different in style from the previous members of the Blood Vulture Clan.
Even though it is difficult for a jackal to understand what the "elegance" of a civilized race means, it also knows that the guys around it are thugs who kill without blinking an eye. If it doesn't follow their wishes, it will only take a few claws to kill it.
And Ken Potter would never fall out with the Wolfsbane clan just because of a "crippled bitch" like himself.
The more this happened, the more Hogg hated these bastards.
Not only did he hate the wolfsbane vampire, but he also hated Ken Porter, that idiot with great ambitions but little talent.
How can a big bastard like him lead the Transian Gnolls well?
If the so-called "nobles" in the Dark Mountains are just stupid like this, then it's really no wonder that the gnolls have fought the Black Disaster four times but have never been able to capture the mainland once.
This kind of power that cannot be restrained by wisdom can only harm others and ourselves!
On the other side, in the Blood Vulture Corridor, Count Andrei, who was discussing action plans with his subordinates, raised his head and saw the door of his room being pushed open.
Madame Adele stood at the door and gestured to him.
The Earl of White Mountain immediately walked out of the door, and in the shadow Lady Adele whispered:
"The 'Pangolin'' calculation orb signal is approaching Scarlet Castle. It should be its vanguard carrying Wolfsbane approaching here. I don't know how prepared you are, but I don't have time for you to make further preparations.
Start your performance."
"good!"
When the matter came to an end, Count Andrei took a deep breath and said to Lady Adele:
"Please tell Mr. Murphy that I am waiting for him in the fight club."
——
Although the vanguards of the Wolfsbane Clan were brutal and still had the smell of the well, they were not stupid. After Hogg led them into the underground tunnel, these guys had been very careful.
A brief summary of the style of the Gray Claws faction they belong to is that even among the Wolfsbane clan, which is notoriously unruly, the Gray Claws belong to the more "extreme" faction.
They are eager for expansion and power. Since they are originally ferocious urban thugs, they act more aggressively after receiving the blessing of Wolfsbane's never-ending fear and desire.
The Gray Claw faction has several cities of their own on Greene Island, but they are not satisfied. They often initiate actions to annex other factions' territories, and they don't like to be suppressed or controlled. This makes Old Edward take great pains to
They were transferred to the mainland as the vanguard of the Wolfsbane clan to participate in the Black Disaster.
The reason why Korando was able to obtain the Wolfsbane Clan's defense map in the Cato region was also because of this responsibility.
After offering their loyalty to King Louis, the Wolfsbane clan was rewarded, and part of the Cato region was assigned to them as territory. As the Wolfsbane vampire's new stronghold on the mainland, Old Edward obviously planned to run it well.
Regaining territory on the mainland is of great significance to the Wolfsbane clan, which was forced to withdraw from the mainland and was even on the verge of extinction under the joint pressure of the Church of Avalon and the Tower of Rings.
However, the Wolfsbane tribe, who don't care about inheritance, really can't understand the painstaking efforts of old Edward. The Gray Claw faction, which is eager to try, has already regarded the entire Cato region as its own.
Especially for Korando.
At the moment, his most important job is to expand the influence of the faction. He has no intention of confronting the Black Disaster head-on and using the demise of his own faction to fulfill his duties for Old Edward.
A qualified member of Wolfsbane is far less noble.
"The exit is right ahead."
Hogg, who was leading the way, held a torch high and illuminated the front at the end of the dark natural tunnel. He pointed at the swirling water and said:
"You have to swim up by yourself, I will wait here!"
Before it could finish speaking, it was kicked into the water by the Wolfsbane Pioneer behind it. In desperation, it could only flop forward to avoid being drowned by the slightly turbulent current here.
The other wolfsbane vampires were not in a hurry to get into the water.
They waited patiently for Hogg to disappear into the water, and after several minutes, they crossed the underwater whirlpool under the leadership of Stander.
Vampires don't like water very much, but their characteristics as supernatural creatures allow them to easily pass through this level of water obstruction.
After several minutes of holding their breath and swimming, these pioneers successfully entered the underground cave on the third floor of the sewer.
As a result, as soon as I entered, I was disgusted by the smell that pervaded the place. A few guys with good eyesight had already seen the ghouls walking in and out of the wall holes of this honeycomb-shaped underground cave, wandering aimlessly.
"so much?"
Stander had previously thought that there were only a few hundred ghouls under the Scarlet Keep, but now that he has taken a closer look, he realizes that there are at least several thousand, possibly even tens of thousands.
"You cheated us?"
He pulled out his staff and sword and looked fiercely at Hogg, who was shrinking into a ball in front of him. The latter said timidly:
"I told you in advance that there are a lot of ghouls here! Otherwise, how do you think we could escape so smoothly? While we were captured here as gladiators, we also had to be squeezed by the blood vultures to clean up food for them.
The scourge of ghouls is why I found this secret road."
"How to get over this?"
A female Wolfsbane warrior cursed:
"There's no way we can get up to the sewers without alerting the ghouls."
"Okay! I know a path, you can fly up it! Don't you vampires have wings to fly?"
Hogg hurriedly screamed:
"Above! Look there, there is a hole that was blown out before. That was the passage they made when they exterminated the ghouls. All the ghouls nearby have been cleared away. You can go up from there!
I swear!
I swear to the Lord of the Hunt!
That's the fastest way, but there are vampires' human henchmen called the Blood Rat Gang patrolling it, so I can't go up there!
Please!
Once they find out I'm escaping, I will be caught back in the arena, and I don't want to go back."
No matter how threatening the Wolfsbane clan warriors were, Hogg was unwilling to move forward. Even after being whipped a few times, he just curled up in place.
It interprets the image of a coward extremely realistically.
Maybe it’s not necessarily pretending?
"Judy, you stay here and watch it! The others come up with me to have a look."
Stander had no choice but to leave people here to take care of him, while the other vampires quickly climbed up the cliff of the cave.
Hogg, the wolf-brother, thinks that all vampires can fly freely like blood vultures, but that is just a common misunderstanding among other clans about midnight vampires. Vampires from other clans do not have such large wings to carry their weight.
Galloping in the dark, the Wolfsbane clan is especially serious in this regard.
They put all their emphasis on muscles, making it difficult for them to even glide over short distances perfectly.
But there are gains and losses.
Other vampires of the same rank have no chance of defeating Wolfsbane Warriors in head-to-head combat. They are the muscular men of the Vampire Clan.
The powerful force pushed them forward quickly on the cliff, and soon they entered the second floor of the sewer with dexterity.
As Hogg revealed, there are thieves from the Blood Rat Gang patrolling here, but these ordinary humans simply cannot catch the traces of vampires in the dark.
Stander used a certain psychic item very cautiously. After confirming that there was no large-scale detection spell in the sewer, he dispersed his followers with confidence and began to rely on the vampire's keen perception of life.
Investigation in the sewer.
He himself is very "lucky".
Soon, guided by the gathering breath of life, they approached the Fight Club near the entrance to the sewer No. 7.
The place was full of people, as if there was a grand game going on. Just the shouts of the blood servants could be heard far in the sewers, and the members of the Blood Rat Gang who were supposed to be patrolling nearby even slipped away.
After getting the number, he hid nearby and watched the game attentively.
"Hey, that little white-faced thorn is no match for our Lord Murphy! He dares to take the initiative to provoke me. If you ask me, I should scratch his face!"
"You know shit!
He has a great identity. I heard my cousin who has joined the People's Army secretly tell me that these hateful brats of the Thorn clan are all spies sent by their coquettish Grand Duchess!
Our Lord Murphy made a bet with their Queen. The bet was the position of Governor of Transia, and that Thorny Boy was the guy sent by the Queen of the Yankees to replace Lord Murphy."
"Ah? There is still such a thing? Then why keep it? Wouldn't it be better to just kill it? We Transians are not used to those Yankees' bad habits!"
"I can't kill him! I don't dare to kill him. This pretty boy has a great background. I heard he is a Yankee count? Maybe he is the mistress of their young queen.
Hey hey hey.”
The whispers of a group of Blood Rat Gang members in the periphery were clearly heard by Stander who was hiding in the darkness. As vampires with "wolf" in their names, their hearing and perception are also sharper than other vampires.
This is determined by racial characteristics.
Stander felt that he had gained important information. He hesitated for a moment, then took the risk to sneak into the high place of the Fight Club, lying down next to a damaged wall and looking down.
In the arena below, illuminated by gas lamps, two young and handsome vampires were fighting to the death.
It’s really a fight to the death!
The attacks were merciless, one used the weird night claws, and the other wielded the cold sword in his hand, but the one with the claws was obviously more powerful, almost overwhelming the latter.
The latter's body was covered in blood but he was unwilling to retreat.
It's a pity that will cannot represent strength. During a raid, he was face-locked and thrown to the ground by the guy on the opposite side. It was not too late. The victorious blood vulture vampire pressed him and left scars on his handsome face.
.
This kind of injury is nothing to vampires, they can heal the scars, but being watched by so many despicable mortals is really a terrible humiliation for a vampire.
"Arrogant Yankees, you must abide by our rules when you come to the territory of the Blood Vulture Clan!"
Murphy yelled:
"This time I'm just giving you a small lesson, Andre! Next time, I will pluck out your eyes and send them back to your sister!"
Don’t think that the name Wolf Girl can scare anyone!
We Transians will not do this to you!"
The crowd nearby cheered immediately, overjoyed that their lord had won, but Stander, who was hiding, felt a sudden change in his heart.
This thorny pretty boy who was just humiliated in front of everyone is actually the wolf girl's brother?
This is great information!
Stander was overjoyed and was about to leave with his harvest, but in the next moment he saw Murphy flapping his wings and flying up to the arena, waving proudly to his blood servants, and next to him was a charming and obscene woman.
The vampire flattered him and gave him his weapon.
A staff sword.
A Wolfsbane-style staff sword.
This thing made the second brother Qiao Pan's eyes widen. He recognized that this was his brother's sword! The gray wolf head logo on the sword hilt cannot be faked.
It was his father's faction symbol.
"Oh it's you!"
Stand gritted his teeth. He caught the murderer of his brother, this vampire named 'Murphy', a black-iron bastard!
It looks like he is the current governor of Transia?
That outrageous rumor is true. A Black Iron-level vampire has taken control of Transia, which is now riddled with holes, through sweet talk and pleasing humans.
"very good"
The Wolfsbane warrior stared at Murphy as he left here under the escort of several pitiful vampires. He then saw the humiliated vampire count being helped out of the arena by his servants.
He followed quietly.
Since the other party was a member of the Thorn Clan, he didn't dare to get too close, so he could only prick up his ears and listen.
"Today's revenge will be avenged tomorrow!"
The pretty boy said sternly:
"I want to kill him! How dare you humiliate the blood of the King of Heroes like this! Vesta! What I asked you to do"
"It's all done, Master."
Another gloomy voice replied:
"Murphy is having a headache over the Gnoll warlord in the Under Armor Hills. The assassin he sent out made a mistake and failed to burn the Gnolls' food, but instead angered them.
He no longer cares about spying on us.
According to your instructions, I have stockpiled enough explosives in several secret places in the sewers of Scarlet Castle. As long as you give an order, this ridiculous Scarlet Castle will fall into a sea of fire.
This will be your fiefdom, my master! Naturally, he cannot let go of today's humiliation casually. He will kneel in front of you and beg for your forgiveness, but you will cruelly reject him!
Grand Duke Shani has secretly made preparations. As long as you can get rid of Murphy and his weak elder Tris, our people will support you in annexing this place.
You will achieve your ambitions!"
"But those gnolls."
Andre hesitated, and his servant immediately replied:
"Their existence will make Murphy have no time to take care of us, master, not to mention that in front of the midnight assassins of the Thorn clan, they are just a warlord. As long as there is no leader, the jackals will disperse in a hurry!
They are always like this.
Don't think about them!
How to kill Murphy is the problem you urgently need to solve right now."
