The first encounter between Hogg and the Canglang Army made Xianlang quickly realize everything that Lord Murphy had encountered.
It was very happy that Master Murphy actually sent help, but the subsequent contact with these cute newbies was very tiring.
Jackal players don't have the perfect novice guidance system like Scarlet Castle. Although the number of the Wise Wolf faction is steadily increasing with the help of Popok, there are still only so many members who are smart enough to use the Calculation Orb to send tasks.
several.
Hogg counts as one, the assistant tearing flesh counts as one, the crazy lame claw counts as half, and the few elites of the Plague Clan who were brought out can also learn this "high-end skill", Popok is the same as other jackals
It is stupid, but it is willing to learn, and Hogg is also willing to teach.
It's a pity that there are only a few NPCs that can give players tasks, and they can't even set up an NPC system.
Fortunately, the main gameplay of the Gnoll camp is free exploration, which gives Hogg room for tricks. The tasks it sent to the first batch of 21 Gnoll players only had a simple main line, and the rest were given in the name of exploration.
They move freely to hunt for treasure.
It told Popok to take these guys to the edge of the Black Eyes clan's territory and let them complete the "racial mission of taming the warg" and the "racial mission of learning to fight" first.
Popock was happy to do it.
It's not because he has the patience to teach a group of children with ADHD. The main reason is that his father has disqualified Popok from commanding the army since he returned from the front line. Now he has no title of warlord, but only less than 50 people under his command.
die loyal.
Popok wanted to follow Hogg to find the source of the great Jackal civilization, but his 50 people couldn't do it anyway, so Popok was planning to lead people through the ancient tradition of the Jackals.
Go to the surrounding small clans to "recruit troops".
But without the order of Chief Black Eyes, which small clan would dare to give it soldiers?
After all this calculation, only the most direct method is left.
Let your soldiers challenge those soldiers who have not been recruited, and then you can forcefully recruit them after defeating them. This behavior is very ancient and barbaric. It is usually done by new clans eager to expand their territory. Popok was also forced to do so.
.
However, although the soldiers under its command were strong, they were few in number, and it felt distressed for every death or injury. Now these warriors of the Creator just filled the vacancy in this task. Popok was holding back his energy and wanted to take these big and round guys around.
It thinks well.
If all goes well, the number of soldiers under its command will be doubled tonight.
"Listen up! This is the rule of our jackals. As many jackals as you can defeat, you can command as many people as you can!"
Popok first took the players to go around the clan warehouse. He showed his face as a young chief and equipped them with protective gear and weapons. He also dressed neatly and put on his own war flag. In one place
On the slope, he lectured the newbies who saw everything new:
"The Wise Wolf has given me the mission of forming an army. Now I will take you to tame your wargs. Then we will seize the time to visit the small clans for a few rounds. Then you can use your freedom!
If you can defeat ten, you are the captain of ten!
If you can defeat 100, you can have your own centurion and become a centurion!
If you can defeat 1,000, I will appoint you as a little chief.
There is no complicated appointment process like other races, we jackals are born to respect the strong!"
As he spoke, Popok clumsily operated the computing orb to send out his first mission as an NPC. With a soft ding-ding-ding sound, 21 players received the initial mission called "Road to Conquest".
This text was all edited by Hogg in advance, and Popock just sent it out.
But this promotion mode is very suitable for players. It is much simpler than the military rank system currently implemented in Transia. Isn't it just fighting? Hey, we players have never been afraid of anyone when it comes to fighting.
"Set off!"
Popok mounted his rare white warg and set out with his 50 soldiers and 21 players to leave the clan territory where they were located. On the way, the players were still sharing what they had just gained.
"These jackals are obviously a clan civilization, and their internal system is simple and crude. They rely on their fists to speak. I just accidentally broke into the shack of a group of jackal soldiers. They wanted to beat me, but after I beat them down one by one,
They just obeyed my orders honestly."
Under the moon, the mad wolf was wearing a worn-out Jackal armor and carrying a blood-stained flail. While experiencing the strange feeling of tail swishing, he said to the brothers beside him:
"So, when you were still the head soldiers, I was already the captain of ten under Xian Lang."
"What do you think that is?"
Immortal Furui shook the golden mane on his neck coquettishly, curled his lips and said:
"I just found the place where the jackals buried their treasures. Hehehe, those idiots will just dig a hole and bury the things they think are precious, but the jackals' noses are so good. I looked around and found several
'Treasure Place'.
But I have some ethics and didn’t dig it casually. After all, it is the territory of the Black-Eye Clan. I will wait until I conquer a certain clan and then hunt for treasures."
"What kind of treasure can ordinary jackals have? If you want to find it, look for the treasures of those warlords."
The guy with the ID name "BanchoLeomon" was carrying a bone sledgehammer. It was walking like a stranger and said to the others:
"I finally understand. The task chain designed by the development team for Jackal players is very simple and crude, with no detailed guidance at all. I guess it is similar to the speculation on the forum. All kinds of random events have to be triggered by us running around.
However, the development team is really partial to this race.
You see, when we first entered the game, we got mounts, and we were able to win military ranks under the idiot Overseer Popok, and judging from what he meant, he didn’t seem to care how we treated our soldiers.
In other words, "collecting followers" is actually the characteristic of the Jackal.
Gee, this suddenly reminds me of a game about catching orcs and raising orcs. I guess the jackals that can be conquered by us must have those rare and rare SSR characters. Zhuo, put it this way, it feels like the development team designed the jackals
The style must have referenced a lot of gacha games.
So how many stitches are there in this damn game?"
"It's a completely different civilization model. It reminds me of the era of Genghis Khan, especially the protection of females and cubs by the gnolls, which is almost similar to the nomadic tribes. Therefore, we can also learn from the methods of the nomadic tribes to quickly
Expand our power in the Dark Mountains.
Conquest is one aspect, and the restraint of faith is another aspect.
Xianlang, the spiritual leader, has already established its status, and what we have to do next is to help it quickly expand its influence."
Only 3 of the 21 players chose the skinny Ancient Jackal form. This form is not a deterrent at all, but the three Ancient Jackal players also quickly found the correct way to play this form.
They got the introductory manual of undead manipulation from Tear Flesh, and while sharing their insights, they discussed the unique ecology of the gnolls.
The IDs of these three guys are obviously the same, and they are called "Big Gray Wolf", "White Wolf" and "Melon Wolf" respectively.
Yuexia Kuanglang feels that these three guys are mysterious. Although they are brothers who joined the group quite early, they rarely participate in discussions on some lively topics in the group. Even after joining the game, they
The three of them did not participate in the brawl just now but kept observing the surroundings.
Maybe they are the legendary "professionals".
Brother Mad Wolf thought this way. As a good brother of Brother Bang, he also heard some things from Brother Bang that ordinary players could not access, so he made up his mind not to fight with this "Three Wolfs" in the game.
"There's so much contact.
While Popok led the Jackal players out of the territory, a very tired Hogg was also in the camp discussing similar matters with his own think tank.
"We don't need to worry about the growth of the wild gnolls. Popok, a qualified dark mountain gnoll, can quickly teach them the rules of survival on this land, but the ancient gnolls' growth model that favors spellcasters and assassins requires that.
You worry too much.
I hope you can teach our warriors the same way you taught the Warlocks of the Plague Clan."
Hogg picked up the map he had planned and said to Tear Flesh, who was looking at a secret book of the Church of the Death Moon:
"We must let them form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Before I leave, Lord Murphy promised me that we will have at least 100 immortal warriors."
"Too little."
Shred meat shook his head in disappointment and said:
"No matter how hard you fight, 100 undead gnolls can't cause trouble in the Dark Mountains. You need at least 1,000 people! At least ten centurions will be formed as your direct elite division. I heard you describe the existence mode of these foreigners. I think
In addition to Sir Murphy's assistance, you should find ways to increase the attractiveness of the Gnoll race among them.
You can't just rely on Mr. Murphy's help, we have to find a way.
Maybe you can learn from Lord Murphy's way of managing them.
mission rewards."
"No, I heard Mr. Murphy share a similar experience. Tasks and rewards are just appearances. The most important thing is to satisfy the hidden sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in the hearts of foreigners. The most important thing is to make them feel joy from the bottom of their hearts.
.
This sounds a bit complicated, and I may be able to learn it, but you have to consider the acceptance capabilities of the stupid compatriots under our command."
Hogg narrowed his eyes and thought:
"So in your opinion, what should be the fastest and easiest way to satisfy a stranger's sense of accomplishment and let him have fun?"
"Of course it's continuous success, no one likes the feeling of failure."
The tearing flesh made a wizened laugh unique to the undead, and it said:
"It seems that your journey to find your roots will add a new goal, a road of conquest. There are not so many cool things in the gnoll ecology to attract those foreigners, but our advantage lies in our civilization.
Not that complicated.
Although ordinary people in another world live a prosperous life, do they think they will have the opportunity to become a lord overnight?
So, Hogg, if you can give them the position of chief one after another, I mean, as long as they join your command, they can go from common people to rulers.
that power!
Even if it's just illusory power, even if it's just ruling a bunch of jackals.
Things they can’t have but you can give them.”
"I understand."
Hogg nodded thoughtfully.
The suggestion of tearing flesh was a very good starting point, but the specific action still required Hogg to think deeply, but before it could use its brain, the lame claw filled with bloody smell came in carrying his beloved undead construction tools.
tent.
It grinned when it saw Hogg.
Unfortunately, what Lame Claw now uses is not its previous body, but a black-eyed jackal that died in the war, which makes this crazy smile lack a deterrent effect.
Its two eyes looked in different directions, then it wiped the saliva from the corner of its mouth and said:
"Hogg, Lord Xianlang, the 200 undead warriors you need are ready. I used a new technique to make half of them into jackal skeleton warriors, and the other side into jackal mummies.
Ha, what a wonderful experience. Those ancient knowledge are indeed much more efficient than my wild road construction.
Next, I plan to try to construct the Hades Slayer, a terrifying butcher made of white bones, but to make it I need many, many good remains, at least 99 complete skeletons of gnoll warriors.
Hogg!
Give me enough bones, I need enough bones to complete my amazing masterpiece!"
"If you have a mission, give it to the warriors! Didn't I teach you how to deal with them? They will definitely be willing to help. Zhuo, I am a wise wolf! I have to think about the future of the jackals, and I don't have time to help you around.
Looking for graves."
Hogg scolded him with a look of displeasure. Lame Claw rolled his eyes, thinking that what he said was right, and turned around to leave to give tasks to the Jackal players. However, after taking a few steps, Lame Claw's head came over.
A 180° turn back.
It said to Hogg in a strange tone:
"Also, the Hades Beetle I released discovered something strange. Nanak, the sister of the female jackal Popok that you are paying close attention to, disguised herself half an hour ago and left her beast alone.
hole.
I think she must be meeting someone important.
Also, I have confirmed that Nanak Black Eyes is pregnant! But her vitality is very strange. I have never seen any gnoll maintain such a strong vitality when pregnant.
This makes me quite curious about the identity of the cub's father."
"Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier, you lunatic."
After hearing the news, Hogg immediately stood up, took a Hades beetle for tracking from the laughing lame claw, put on his hood and rushed out of the tent to ride on the warg he captured from Ken Porter.
, rushed out quickly.
"Hey, old man, tell me, does Hogg have a crush on Nanak?"
Lame Claw asked in a weird tone. Flesh-Tearer, who was learning the orthodox curse of the Moon of Death, didn't even bother to look back. It said in a hoarse voice:
"Hogg will never fall in love with any gnolls anymore. His vision has been raised to a realm that does not belong to gnolls. In the words he wrote in the book "Into the Dark Mountains", when he became a wise wolf,
For a moment, its entire life has been dedicated to the rise of jackal civilization.
This is the inspiration it gets from ancient memories.
Of course, I suspect Hogg may have other ideas.
But what can I say? You don't have to worry about it having any undue thoughts about Nanak Black Eyes. That female gnoll is very cunning, but compared to Hogg, her intelligence is not enough to attract the Wise Wolf's attention.
As you said, you are not the only one who is curious about Nanak's lover, Hogg is actually also curious."
——
Nanak Black Eyes, the sister of Popok Black Eyes, the eldest daughter of the old chief Black Eyes, is also his assistant in managing the clan now that he is old and frail. It is basically equivalent to having already announced that Nanak will become
The next chief of the Black Eyes clan.
Regarding this decision, the large and small warlords and vassal chiefs of the Black Eyes Clan have no objection at all, because Nanak Black Eyes is indeed different from her ambitious and talented brother. This female gnoll has an ability that can make other gnolls obey.
Many old gnolls have claimed that Nanak will become as powerful a female chief as Chief Potana in the future.
However, Nanak is not perfect. She is 27 years old this year but has not yet chosen her spouse. Based on the lifespan of a gnoll in the Dark Mountains, she is already an out-and-out old girl.
However, Nanak Black Eyes has a secret of his own.
Her father also knew this secret and secretly supported his daughter's choice.
At dusk, in a hidden valley on the border of the Black-Eye clan's territory, Nanak Black-Eye, who was riding a red warg, jumped off the saddle. She had been pregnant for several months, which made her originally flat and wild belly a little bloated.
, but still moves vigorously.
With a beautiful gray-white mane, she wears a skeleton sword on the waist of the leather armor, and carries a metal crossbow on her back that is very rare in the gnoll society. The style looks like the work of a dwarf.
Nanak walked into the rift with her warg. The next moment, she saw the tall figure sitting on the rock basking in the sun. He took off his armor and threw it aside, leaving the dark mountains rough.
The wind blew through his golden mane.
It was a very tall jackal, with gorgeous golden hair, like a lion walking upright.
That is Nanak's lover.
A very distinguished jackal warlord.
"Hugesen, you are really here."
Nanak called out sadly:
"I heard about what happened at Black Flame Pass, and I'm very sad about what happened to your mother."
Xu Gesen turned around.
It shook its head at its beloved lady and stretched out its hand to signal Nanak to come over.
It doesn't want to say or talk about anything now. It just wants to get the last warmth in its only spiritual harbor before making an important decision.
The former Hugersen will die tonight.
At dawn tomorrow, there will be only the Chosen One of the Lord of Hunting in this world. Ah, this will be its last day as an ordinary jackal, so let those troubles go away for the time being.
