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?
