Chapter 960 The War between the Wise Wolf and the Empire and the Successors
"Ah sneeze!"
A violent sneeze came from Hogg's mouth, causing him to twitch in the wooden wheelchair.
It probably caused the wound to make him grin.
This scene made His Highness Khufu, who was walking beside Hogg, a little surprised. Obviously, the Jackal Civilization Hall where the two of them were at at this time had perfect temperature control, so they shouldn't be getting cold like this.
"It's nothing, don't worry about it, I just suddenly felt a chill, as if something strange was happening, and I heard a wail of pain and strange pleasure in a trance. Well, maybe I heard it wrong.
"
Hogg explained.
It used its paws to push its wheelchair and declined the prince's offer of help.
When His Highness Khufu came from afar to observe it, Hogg was actually paying attention to His Highness Khufu. Regarding the peculiar blue skin and small fangs of the Songhai people, Hogg was noncommittal. Compared to the Jackal,
No matter how strange the Songhai people are, at least they still have a personal appearance.
What it really focuses on is the character of this Highness and the hidden meanings revealed in his words.
Khufu arrived directly at the Jackal Civilization Museum through the teleportation board in the swamp restricted area one day ago. In the past few hours, the Songhai Crown Prince had visited the entire land of creation and watched several movies depicting jackals.
A video of the glorious image of our ancestors.
Hogg specially set aside time for His Highness Khufu to think and verify the status of the Jackal in the Creator's system.
At this time, both of them knew that it was time to show off their cards and discuss truly important matters.
"Would you like to start now, or should we have a meal together first?"
Hogg said in a gentle tone:
"Of course, you may have to endure the poor food supply in the Broken Tooth territory. Even in the Dark Mountains, this place is a remote country. The people of the Broken Tooth clan are famous for their toughness and endurance, although this is not the way of life they choose.
"
"No need, let's start talking now. Your time is precious, and I want to get back to the Origin Pioneer, which is still under repair, as soon as possible."
His Highness Khufu waved his hand.
His captain of the bodyguard, Sonnik, immediately withdrew a distance, leaving space for the two big men to talk, while Hogg's bodyguard, Bobok, also made the same move.
However, after exiting, the bellicose Popok looked at the Songhai people opposite with a provocative look.
Although they are already loyal dogs of the Creator, the wolfman's brutal and aggressive behavior has become a habit, which cannot be reversed in a short time. What's more, even if everyone is the Creator's dog, the relationship between dogs
There will also be a winner and loser.
As we all know, dogs are very social and status-conscious creatures.
However, in the face of Popok's provocation, Captain Sannik didn't respond at all. He felt that this jackal with the stupid dark circles under his eyes had no points. If you are a silver-ranked person, you are challenging my gold-ranked one. You are not just waiting to be beaten.
?
Popok obviously had different opinions on this.
It does not feel that its body, which has been strengthened by the power of creation, will be weaker than Sannik, a Songhai person. Although the final failure is highly likely to be doomed, the battle in the middle can also help Master Xianlang distinguish whether these Songhai people are
Can someone who is truly brave really be worthy of the glorious title of a follower of the Creator?
Probably because he felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Popok's overly aggressive gaze, Captain Sonnik couldn't help but ask after a few minutes:
"What are you looking at?"
"Look at you!"
Popok obviously communicated a little too closely with the players of the Blue Wolf Army, and subconsciously said the "golden words for battle", but he quickly changed his words:
"I just heard that the Yellow Sand warriors of the Songhai people are the first-class warriors on the mainland. I'm just a little itchy. Their conversation will be fruitless for a while. The Jackal Civilization Center is also very safe. Why don't we discuss and learn from each other?
"
"No interest, my blade is only for protection."
Sonnik decisively refused, and Popok snorted and said:
"Of course, as the guardians of creation, the weapons we all use are to protect this continent, but cowards are not among them!
You guys, Songhai, keep saying that you are the Creator’s favorite children, but as you just saw, in the records of the Civilization Museum, there are humans, elves, dwarves and halflings fighting side by side with our gnoll ancestors.
They are all children of the Creator, but among them you are the only ones without blue skins.
Can I understand that in the golden age, your ancestors of the Songhai people were also a group of cowards?"
"It's enough!"
Popok used the contact method of "drawing hatred" to elevate the fight to a discussion of the will of the ancestors. This directly poked at the most proud point in the character of the Songhai people. Even though Songhai was a steady warrior, he was a little angry.
.
This is equivalent to insulting the god of nature to the Avalon believers, and humiliating the barbarians that Vaam is a coward. If others don't pick up the bricks and open your gourd, it means they are ungrateful.
The captain of the guard scolded and said to Popok:
"You have to apologize!"
"Of course I can apologize. The Creator teaches us to be humble, but our humility is only reserved for true warriors. Come on, Songhai people, we don't use weapons, we just use fists and feet."
Popok raised his fist and said:
"You prove your bravery by defeating me within twenty moves, and I will apologize to you!"
"There are less than twenty moves to deal with you."
Soon, the sound of banging and banging sounded in the corner of the Civilization Museum, but this did not affect the conversation between Hogg and Khufu. In fact, the suspicions Popok expressed were exactly what the two were talking about.
a major topic in .
However, both of them are decent people, so naturally they cannot express this question as openly as the soldiers.
Necessary small talk is still necessary.
"Your father invited me to go to the place of origin as the leader of the faith of the Creation Guards. I am deeply honored. If there is time, I will definitely go to the Ptolemaic City in person to pay respects to the Pharaoh."
Hogg sat in a wheelchair and said to Khufu:
"The successful end of this black disaster, especially the punishment of the Moss Valley and the Evil God, is destined to fail without your help. Therefore, this victory also belongs to you. The Songhai Empire is already a friend of the Guardians of Creation."
"Just friends?"
His Highness Khufu sat on the chair opposite Hogg. Before his arrival, he had already made some preparations and simulations with his brother-in-law who had woken up. He knew the most important task of his trip, so he took the initiative to ask:
"Your Excellency Xianlang, you and your followers are fighting for the orthodoxy of the Creator, and the Songhai people have always believed in the Creator as the orthodoxy since the founding of the country. The relationship between us should not be just friends.
In fact, a hundred years ago, when the Bone-gnawing King was gaining power, my father, like me, personally came to Moss Valley to discuss with His Excellency Philip. My father hoped to persuade Philip in the name of the Creator’s righteous faith.
The adults gave up the war but were coldly rejected by it, and also made quite bad demands.
I just came here hoping to get a different result than before."
"Hold on!"
Hogg paused and said:
"Since you mentioned the King of Bone Grinders, let me ask you a few questions first."
"ah?"
Khufu's eyes widened in surprise, and then he saw Hogg closing his eyes for a moment and then opening them again. Although the appearance of the thin jackal was still the same, the aura displayed by the wise wolf suddenly changed at this moment.
That ferocious posture even made His Highness Khufu somewhat breathless.
"I am Philip, and I remember the scene when your father and I were talking."
The Bone-Gnawing King controlled Hogg's body, stared at Khufu in front of him, and said in a hoarse voice:
"I asked your father a few questions at that time. I guess he must have just told you the unreasonable demands I made but did not tell you the answers to those questions. Now I ask you again, the crown prince of Songhai people.
, I hope you will not be as speechless as your father.
Have you Songhai people really seen the Creator?”
"Of course I've seen it!"
His Highness Khufu immediately responded:
"That incident was engraved on the Great Pyramid of Issus, and is still passed down by the families of the thirty-three sages who met the Creator at that time. How could it be false?"
"You use your own history to explain the questions I raised. Do you think this is appropriate?"
Philip said without mercy:
"Isn't this just as absurd as thieves using the land deed that they secretly modified to prove that the house they stole should belong to them?
I'm from the Golden Age, Khufu.
I once told your father my identity. What I want to tell you is that the truth recorded in my memory after I woke up is a terrible blow to you Songhai people.
You are not the children of creation!
You are just natives scattered in the vast yellow sand. During the destruction of the Eden area, you were lucky enough to set foot on the land of creation and gain some permissions, but this is not enough for you to call yourself the children of the Creator!
Therefore, facing your inquiry at this time, the answer I can give is still the same as it was a hundred years ago.
You are not qualified to express any opinions on matters related to the Creator!
Especially when facing the defenders of creation who have regained their true faith, unless you get 'official recognition'.
By the way, when you go back, help me ask your father, who originally promised me that he would not participate in the fourth black disaster, why he sent out a solar ship to bomb my camp at the last moment! Did he confirm the truth?
Want to kill people and silence them?
Do you want to take this opportunity to erase all the secrets from thousands of years ago?
Oh, what a pharaoh who did his best for the inheritance of the Songhai Empire."
Khufu was choked and speechless.
Faced with the information revealed by the Bone-Gripping King, his first reaction was to deny it, but then he thought of the scenes he saw in the Civilization Museum. It was indeed as the Bone-Gripping King said, where the golden age was recorded.
The Songhai people never appear in the image.
This gave him a thought that was so terrifying that it shook his mind. Could it be that
"Don't think too much, Your Highness Khufu."
Hogg regained control of his body and coughed and said:
"The King of Bone Grinders is the most orthodox successor of the Golden Age. It cannot accept some things as a matter of course, but we live in this era and need to use a more realistic attitude to deal with these remaining issues.
In fact, no matter what the truth was back then, it has no meaning now, thousands of years later.
The Songhai Empire is indeed sitting on the huge legacy of the Creator and it can no longer be taken away from you. From the facts alone, you are indeed the successors of the Creator, and your actions over the past millennium have also proved that you have been abiding by the Creator's instructions.
Dogma does not abuse this power.
What you lack now is just an authoritative proof."
"You mean, you can use your identity as the leader of the Creation Guards faith to confirm this?"
At this moment, Khufu, who was already in a state of confusion, asked, and Hogg laughed. He beat his legs, which had been shattered and lost all feeling in the previous battle, and said softly:
"How do I have the qualifications to justify a powerful empire?
But there is one person who can really satisfy the Songhai people's lack of legitimacy, and you know who I'm talking about.
As long as that lord declares that the Songhai Empire is the most devout follower of the Creator as the Chosen One of the Creator, then no one can question your legitimacy, and even Lord Philip will happily accept this result.
Therefore, Your Highness Khufu, the person you need to convince is not me.
The Jackal Kingdom is currently in dire straits. For me and my fellow travelers, the support from the Songhai Empire is what we must strive for. Therefore, as long as the Lord nods, I can stand for you on any occasion.
Who dares to question the legitimacy of the Songhai people, I can even send an army to attack them.
But all this is predicated.
As I just said, until you solve this problem, we can only be friends. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand."
Khufu nodded.
He knew that Xian Lang meant to let him get rid of Mr. Murphy's relationship. The Creator God's Chosen can indeed replace part of the Creator's majesty in this era when the Creator has passed away, at least in the matter of certification as "the Creator's favorite child" In fact, Murphy meant what he said.
No wonder my father wants to send his ship to welcome Mr. Murphy to the place of origin. I am afraid my father has a similar plan in mind.
But doesn’t this prove that what the Bone-Gripping King just said is true?
Could it be that the Songhai people are really just a group of indigenous people who were lucky enough to receive mercy?
This is too
"You are so confused that it is not appropriate to continue talking at this time."
Xianlang shook his head and said:
"Let's wait until the Pharaoh's birthday party before we continue."
"Well, thank you for your understanding."
His Highness Khufu stood up and said goodbye to Xian Lang.
However, after taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered his brother-in-law's advice, turned around and said to Xian Lang:
"No matter what the outcome of this matter is, the Songhai Empire will not cut off its support for the Jackal Kingdom. You are eager to end the disputes and confrontations with the civilization camp and focus on the construction of your own civilization. This is also the result that the Songhai people hope to see. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about the war compensation to various countries due to this black disaster.
The Songhai Empire will pay this money on behalf of the Creation Guards faction as a sincerity for the friendship between the two parties.
In addition, if you can find a suitable port, the Songhai Fleet will also send a batch of food, seeds and supplies as soon as possible to help you build cities and reclaim wasteland."
"this"
Hogg's eyelids twitched.
I thought to myself, this Songhai guy is really a big dog!
He paid the war indemnity on behalf of the Jackals without even blinking an eye. How could the now impoverished Jackals refuse this kind of sincerity?
Of course Xianlang also knew that if he took the money, he would have to show his position when the Songhai people needed it.
To put it nicely, this thing is called humanitarian aid.
To put it bluntly, this thing is "hush money" or "change of mouth money."
It really wants to stand up and scold His Highness Khufu not to use money to humiliate the will and character of the defenders of creation, but firstly, it really cannot stand up now, and secondly, as a leader, as it just said, it has to adopt a more realistic perspective. Come and think about your own civilization.
With the support of the financially powerful Songhai Empire, the rise of the Gnoll Kingdom and the establishment of civilization could at least avoid a century-long detour.
People gave too much
Hogg hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said in the wheelchair:
"Then, on behalf of the Creation Guards, I would like to thank Pharaoh for his generosity. I promise you that I will definitely attend Pharaoh's birthday banquet as scheduled. In addition, I will try my best to help you with Mr. Murphy's persuasion.
But please understand that it is not my opinion that plays a leading role in this matter, but the attitude of the Songhai Empire.
In fact, I have never quite understood the Songhai people’s obsession with the Creator. You see, the ancient nation of Kolum never uses these nominal methods, but they can still become a powerful force on the mainland, maybe.”
"You are not from Songhai, so naturally you cannot understand our respect for the Creator."
Khufu shook his head seriously and said:
"He is our Savior and our Eternity!
The Songhai Empire is willing to sacrifice everything just for the Creator's curtain. We would rather the empire collapse and shed our blood to realize the Creator's guidance. No matter what happened thousands of years ago, no matter what the truth is in history, no matter what Mr. Murphy is doing in this matter.
What's your attitude on the matter?
None of this can change the Songhai Empire's devotion to the Creator.
We do not worship our God because of profit; this faith itself is a supreme gift.
Please also try not to touch on this issue when talking to Songhai people in the future. This is a topic that cannot be discussed at all!
Now please forgive me for taking my leave, Your Excellency Xianlang.
I’m so confused today and I really need to think about it.”
