Chapter 132 57. Overly extravagant configuration
Lord Slantenukli hesitated for a moment before taking Chakas out of the army formation.
Chakas took down the star-colored stone hammer on his shoulder. After turning it a few times with one hand, he dragged the star-colored stone hammer on the ground. He followed Slan and looked warily at the hot-blooded species in front of him and him. compatriots.
"I am Umak of the ancient saint Iqi, Darkus, Scourge of Hell." Within two days, Darkus introduced himself twice.
"City of Mist, Slanwupeck, Lord Slan Tenukli." After a while, Tenukli said slowly and leisurely. Darkus almost thought he fell asleep.
And then, before the meeting, Darkus learned a lot of information from Akadan. Tenukli was a subordinate of the second generation Lord Slanhuini Aitankui, and he was also a fisherman.
As Darkus gained an in-depth understanding of the lizardman society, he knew that there were approximately three factions in Slanli, namely the radical faction headed by Lord Mazdamudi, such as the Lord Huahua. Of course, the Lord Huahua was too radical. There is also the kind where Lord Tepeque-Inzi launches an expedition to the north to hammer the Druchi neighbors in order to regain the Star Monument.
The neutral faction headed by Lord Adoshi Tehega has a somewhat indifferent and autistic personality. He is immersed in his inner world and rarely expresses his views on the big plan. He rarely communicates with other Slann Lords, but if something happens, Sometimes there will still be meetings. For example, Lord Slot who went to Spicazuma to help is also a neutral faction.
Of course, these only account for a small part of Slan, and a large part of them belong to the fishing sect. They have no one as the leader. They are indifferent to everything except the underlying logical structure to fight against chaos. Although Mazdamudi is the leader of Slann, these fishing factions will not buy his account unless the first generation of Slann Kroka is resurrected to give orders to these fishing factions.
For example, in order to fulfill the prophecy during the War between Snakes and Rats, the Skinks gathered an unimaginable number of Skaven sacrifices on the altar, preparing to offer them to the snake god Sotek, begging their snake god to fully appear in this world. superior. But this process was extremely difficult, and the Slann lords of many temple cities forbade the bringing of sacrifices into their cities. They dismissed the prophecy and ignored it, even though the celestial phenomena had shown it to be true.
The Slann Lord's ban sparked massive riots among the local Skink folk, with the Skinks chanting that Skink lives matter, as the Skinks believed they did not care about the plight of the Skinks and the sacrifices they brought to them. The sacrifice endured by the temple city.
What followed was a long quarrel and compromise. For example, although Mazdamudi also did not like sacrifices entering Hesiota, he built a huge Sotek Temple next to the Sun Monument in the north for these people. Used by Skinks. Adohi-Tehega simply opened up Talakaslan and built four Sotigo temples around the large temple pyramid of Razkoto in the center of the city, which still stand there today.
These neutrals remained indifferent and ignored, delaying the arrival of Sotek for centuries.
Darkus was standing there, waiting for Tenukli to speak first. If Master Hui had given him face, he would have joined him by now. After all, he still had to ask Shi Lan for help in making the phylactery. Or like last time, if Master Ma makes a remote call to him and asks him to help, he will definitely give him face. It's like playing a game. Each city has its own reputation. He must have a high reputation with Master Ma and Master A, but it's hard to say about the others. He probably won't be able to increase it even if he does tasks. On the contrary, these fishermen Slan thinks this is natural, so why does he still do the task? He knows that the script directly pulls Master Ke up or rebuilds the temple city and restarts the incubation pool, and puts the city and the army in the hands of him and Master Ma.
After a stalemate for a while, Tenukli finally came to his senses. After all, he was Slan, a wise man, and he began to speak.
Hearing what Tenukli said, Darkos thought for a while and knew what this army was going to do. He also knew the final outcome of these armies. The magic that the Demon Prince of Slaanesh cast before he was exiled was Chaka. Si blocked it, saving Tenukli from immediate death. But Tenukli was seriously injured and fell from the ride.
Chakas was the last surviving warrior in this army. He stood guard next to Tenukli who was lying on his back day and night. He had no intention of pulling Tenukli back to the carriage, but he kept on guarding him. Drive away predatory beasts and prevent Tenukli from harming him again. In the end, the search team from Slanwupek found Chakas and Tenukli, and Tenukli, who was still unconscious, was brought back to the Mist City on the back of a Triceratops.
"If I agree to join the battle, what about the command rights?" Darkus looked at the lizardman army from Slanwupeck and thought for a while, and finally asked in a clear-eyed way.
"Of course, respected Umak, you are here, as long as you can banish the Chaos Demon again." Tenukli nodded to Darkus and said respectfully.
Darkus turned around and prepared to return to the team. He didn't know why he agreed to participate in the battle. Slann mind controlled him? Are you afraid of lice bites if there are too many? Anyway, Slaanesh had already observed him a long time ago, and now there is another Tzeentch, so it doesn't matter, there are things in this world that cannot be avoided. He wants to see the style of MVP "Eternal Guard" Chakas who will fight next? It's because he hasn't truly transformed into a ruthless ruler. He can listen to Holoto's story as a story, but when the story appears in front of him, he still can't remain indifferent. A sense of purpose as Umak? Or is it the curse in Druchi's bloodline? Or is he Darkus? As for the danger of the upcoming battle, he is not worried. A legendary temple guard from Chakas can penetrate the entire battlefield, not to mention the presence of his army.
"Hahaha..." Darkus was thinking and suddenly laughed like a psychopath. His laughter was so weird, so unpredictable, that he didn't even know why he was laughing suddenly.
A raven landed on Darkus' shoulder.
"On the hour, French fries? French fries!" Morayig Heg took advantage of the instability of her spiritual veins to appear again, speaking the joint code in an obscure and difficult way. She had been thinking about it after the last meeting. This French fries is amazing.
"Dear grandma, I'm going to fight Chaos, just like the Twilight Tide." Darkus laughed even louder after hearing this secret signal, and he said in his mind.
"Maybe this is your mission. There are some things that you can't escape. You will have to face them sooner or later." Morayig Heg looked at Darkus for a while and then flew away.
"My dear grandma, I will try to give you some French fries next time." Darkus waved to the raven that was retreating.
Tenukli and Eye of the Storm in the distance looked at the raven in confusion and wonder.
"Two news, one good news and one bad news, let's talk about the good news first! We will go north to fight against the Chaos Demon!" Darkus said to Druch and the Skinks with a sinister look on his face.
"The bad news is that most of us may not have the chance to directly participate in the battle." After Darkus finished speaking, the scene became a little quiet. Druchi and the skinks were a little confused by him, but he ignored them and continued to give instructions.
"Walter, Renn, and you guys continue to lead the team to hunt and collect supplies."
"Yes, sir."
"Akadan, you take the skinks and some of the monitor lizards to make some spears and javelins."
"Yes, sir." Dear Umak."
"Coptiti, go to the city and draw out all the lizards, as well as the serrated swords, sharp Osinite stones, solar engines, and food reserves, and draw out five more The stronger Skinks serve as auxiliary soldiers."
"I will obey Umak's wishes."
"Chupa Coco, you go and coordinate Slanwupek's army to set up camp."
Chupa Coco did not answer, but made a funny Druchi noble salute to Darkus.
After getting the mission, they all dispersed and started working. Darkus arranged for Hesiota's skink breeders to direct other groups of monitor lizards to start making lifting equipment. And he himself took the Spica Zuma horn and rode a pterodactyl under the protection of Carlion to find helpers in the jungle. He flew all the way and blew it from afternoon to evening. The blowing made his cheeks hurt. The wild beasts responded to his call and began to gather towards the unknown river.
At night, the unknown riverside was extremely noisy and brightly lit, but everything was going on in an orderly manner under Coptiti's control. In addition to the behemoths that he could not control, the newly added wild behemoths stood undecided far away from the Eye of the Storm. They did not know whether to step forward or leave, although Umak told him in the sound of the horn They have the existence of such a person.
In the end, Eye of the Storm shook his head speechlessly, stood up and left, then walked far away and lay down. The skink keepers and trainers then guided them to the temporary fence.
The third ancient Triceratops in the team appeared, but unfortunately it was another one with a handle. There were also two Triceratops and three Ankylosaurus.
Akadan began to distribute crude spears to the lizards of Horotho. The spears were as simple as wood tied with Osinite stones. Darkus did not think that these malnourished lizards had any fighting ability, but he still wanted to Those who participate in the battle, even if they stand at the back and feel the atmosphere of the battlefield, it is good, although the lizard people are born to fight.
The serrated swords were distributed to the lizards in Hethiota. Darkus wanted to form a battle group of a hundred elite lizards who had experienced hundreds of battles. They would be elite enough to have titles, and gradually expand in size. This would It's their second battle!
The skink weavers of Horotho were working overtime to decorate the skull of the Amazon python, trying to make it into a lizard-style battle flag.
Tenukli sat on the chariot and watched all this quietly.
"Umak? Umak!"
Darkus called the Eye of the Storm back. He wanted to place the armillary sphere of eternal light on the back of the Eye of the Storm. The skink breeder of Slanwupek was also there. Help, luckily I have Renn’s calculations before and after. Even so, the process was still very troublesome, and I had to work until late at night to finish it. The main difficulty lay in measuring the distance of the inlaid holes on the back of the Eye of the Storm, and remaking a punched frame to support the Eternal Glory Armillary Sphere.
On the other side, the shiny black dung beetle, the newly added three-headed ankylosaurus and Slanwupeck's four-headed ankylosaurus have already hoisted the sun engine.
Darkus was dismissive of the Skink Priest's claim that Ankylosaurus was favored by the ancient Saint Kotago, and that only Ankylosaurus was worthy of carrying the Solar Engine. The device at the core of the Solar Engine is the core, not the carrier and the solar panels outside. . It can be activated by a giant lizard carrying the solar engine, but the giant lizard will suffer severe internal injuries after being activated. The remaining four are placed in the team and on the newly added Triceratops. Chupa Keke would not make any objections. Instead, he said that this was the first time he had seen such a terrifying attack lineup. The Skink Priest of Slanwupek didn't even have the right to speak, and he didn't have a wink. Leave any comments.
In addition, Chupa Coco expressed to Darkus the idea of fighting on the back of the Eye of the Storm. Although the idea was good, the strong wind of Aegir in the Eye of the Storm could enhance his spellcasting. But he was still rejected by Darkus. This was not a game. If the Eye of the Storm wants to charge into the formation with the Armillary Sphere of Eternal Glory and tear apart the enemy's formation, the opponent is not stupid. Why not jump on the back of the Eye of the Storm or use distant weapons to deal with Chupa Coco. Darkus felt that Chupa Coco seemed to be acting on a whim, and suddenly Shi Lezhi thought so.
The next day, the team set off, and Darkus suddenly thought of something. He was hesitating whether to let Coptiti take the lizard men back to keep an eye on Horotho, although Horoto had been safe and sound since the great invasion. But a variable appeared for him, and he was worried that Tzeentch's demonic Chaos Legion would suddenly appear in the city and destroy it. After struggling for a long time, he decided to take a gamble and go back quickly. After all, a Coptiti who couldn't command and a group of hungry and malnourished lizard people seemed to have no effect even if they mobilized some troops to assist in defense. Besides, this change Not like Spica Zuma, but something that has always been there. Who knows?
The ensuing march was extremely boring and long. The army carefully skirted the Malente Swamp, and from time to time had to drag the giant beasts stuck in the mud. Fortunately, Slann's magic could make the giant beasts float and move them to safety. s position. The giant lizard Kami is also leading the giant lizards to activate the swamp talent and push the giant beast out from behind in the swamp.
As for the battle ruins of the Battle of Tehenhoin and the Skaven sacrifice pit, Darkos did not see it. Kalien, who was conducting reconnaissance in the sky, did not receive any feedback. Now Kalien was very anxious. In addition to the reconnaissance, Darkus gave him another task, which was to ask him to increase the efficiency of the pterosaur in combat to maximum.
The team soon arrived at the Huahuan Desert, and the team began to line up in a marching formation, walking in the shade of the boulders.
"Hey! Good guy, this army configuration in the game requires at least two full strength." Darkus stood on the back of the big guy and looked back and forth, thinking to himself.
