Chapter 6 Bachov's Choice(1/2)
After arriving in the lizard people's territory, Allen approached the leader of the lizard people, Bachov, alone.
"Lord Allen!" Bachov saluted respectfully.
"Bachov, do you mind showing me around your territory?" Allen said in a deep voice.
Allen did not directly state the purpose of his visit. He felt that he needed to test Bachov's attitude.
"Your arrival is an honor for our clan." Allen's attitude made Bachov look flattered, and he shouted loudly: "Hannah, gather all the wives of the clan quickly, Lord Allen
Come visit our tribe, go and prepare some delicious food."
After shouting, Bachov turned his head and said to Allen with an angry look on his face: "I made you laugh!"
The Lizardman tribe is not very big, just a small settlement with a population of less than a thousand people. Under the leadership of Bachov, Allen quickly finished the visit.
"Wow! He's so big!" The little lizard man in the distance pointed at Allen and said to his companions.
Even after they become adults, lizardmen are only a little over two meters tall. So to these little lizardmen, Allen, who is six or seven meters tall, is undoubtedly a giant.
"Don't be rude! Apologize to Mr. Allen!" Bachov looked angry, as if he was about to explode, but Allen noticed the way he kept looking at Allen with his peripheral vision.
So he made it clear: "Bachov, I am not a moody dragon, so you can be more natural when talking to me."
"Yes, Master Allen! That's what you taught me." Bachov immediately lowered his head and agreed.
Looking at him like this, Allen knew that he didn't listen to what he said.
"Are there any people in the tribe who are starving recently?"
"Thanks to the kind Lord Allen for lending a helping hand to our tribe, every lizardman in the tribe has had a full meal since last month. The children have not been so happy for a long time, thank you Lord Allen!
May the five-color dragon mother bless you."
Bachov's gratitude to Allen was sincere. Because of Allen's help, the lizardman tribe not only avoided the punishment of the black dragon mother, but also lived a better life than before.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost heightened, Allen said: "Then what kind of dragon do you think I am?"
"Mercy, greatness, kindness!" Bachov did not hesitate to praise:
"You are a born king!"
"What do you think if I compare my future achievements with the black dragon mother?" Allen showed an evil smile. This expression combined with his black dragon face made it look like the trick was about to be accomplished.
Bachov gradually realized that something was wrong, but he still said bravely: "I will not be under Lord Amio."
This is true, because Allen's size is far behind the other four little black dragons, and he is stronger than most other black dragons in this age group.
Therefore, in Bachov's view, if Allen is allowed to grow up, it is possible to attack the legend in the future. But he must pay attention to the words he uses, otherwise he will offend his current master, the Lord of the Dark Swamp, and Allen's biological mother.
--Yamio Castrop.
"If I were to give you a question now and make a choice between my mother and me, who would you choose? Me or my mother?"
Allen's eyes had become very cold. This sudden change made Bachov sit on pins and needles. He didn't understand why Allen, as the son of the black dragon's mother, would ask such an "outrageous" question.
But this still put him in a dilemma. Choosing the Black Dragon Mother would undoubtedly offend Allen in front of him, but choosing Allen would be equivalent to betraying the Black Dragon Mother.
Bachov vaguely felt that this was a matter of life and death for the entire Lizardman tribe, so it was more difficult for him to make a choice.
Seeing that Bachov was deep in thought, Allen felt that it was almost time to release "more explosive news."
"Remember that green dragon from a few days ago? The news she told is true!"
"What...is true?" Bachov's tone was a little uncertain.
"The Dark Swamp will be destroyed!"
"What! This is impossible!" Bachov was shocked and denied loudly. At this moment, he even forgot that he should pay attention to his tone.
"What's impossible? Haven't you noticed that there have been more and more traces of humans around the hunting ground in the past few days? Their army is gathering outside the dark swamp. I saw it with my own eyes. Wake up, Ba
Qiaofu, the human army has arrived at our door." Allen's voice circled in Bachov's ears.
"Lord Amio is an epic dragon..."
"What if the Green Dragon Court joins forces with humans? Don't forget, the Green Dragon Court has more than one green dragon, their queen is even a legendary dragon! Will mother be able to withstand it then?" Allen said very "well-intentioned"
reminded.
"How is it possible? The giant dragon...how could the giant dragon collude with humble humans..." It's not that Bachov has no confidence in the Green Dragon Court, it's that they have done too many bad things together with humans.
Moreover, if you think about it carefully, why did the green dragon know that the Dark Swamp would be facing disaster? Bachov fell into despair.
"If this is the case, if this is the case! The human army! The legendary dragon!" Bachov's heart agitated, "How could Master Yamio resist it? The Dark Swamp is destined to be destroyed, and where will the Lizardmen tribe go from here?
?”
"This can't be true, right! Everything is just conjecture." Bachov seemed to grasp a life-saving straw.
At this moment, Allen reminded: "Don't take chances, Bachov! The Lizardman tribe may be annihilated because of your decision."
Allen's words drove poor Bachov into the endless abyss.
Bachov is a very responsible clan leader, which Allen has always known. Because of this, Allen chose the Lizardman tribe.
Looking at the confused lizard man in front of him, Allen knew that his goal had been achieved.
"Lord Allen, what should we do with the lizard tribe?"
The poor lizard man regarded Allen as the last straw, but this was exactly what Allen wanted.
"Follow me! Then escape the Dark Swamp!"
Bachov's eyes widened, "Isn't this betrayal of Lord Amio!"
"No!" Allen said firmly: "This is just a considerate son who left alone in order not to increase the pressure on his mother to raise him."
"The Lizardmen are loyal to the Lord of the Dark Swamp..."
"Loyalty to me is indirectly equivalent to loyalty to my mother!"
"But..." Bachov seemed to have something more to say.
But Allen interrupted him directly, "Think about your fellow lizardmen. Do you want them all to die?"
"No, I don't want to!" Bachov affirmed.
"Then follow me." Allen's tone seemed to leave no room for doubt.
"...Okay! Lord Allen." Bachov seemed to have firmed up an idea, "The mother of five colored dragons testifies, I, Gor Bachov, swear allegiance to Lord Allen on behalf of the lizardman clan,
When you need us, we are the sword. Wherever you point, we are our mortal enemies... Even if the sword is broken, we will not hesitate..."
Looking at the lizard man kneeling in front of him, Allen didn't expect that his goal would be achieved so easily.
"Very good! Lizardman, I accept your allegiance." Allen laughed loudly.
"Listen, Bachov! You must do what I say next. Only in this way can your tribe be saved from destruction."
"First of all, notify your tribe and be prepared to flee at any time. Remember, you must not let the group of snake warriors notice your abnormality. I don't need to mention the consequences, right?"
If the black dragon mother found out that one of her tribes had betrayed her, she would not hesitate to order the killing of everyone in that tribe. So Allen was not worried at all that Bachov would not do well in this regard.
As for whether the lizard people would inform the police, Allen didn't have to worry about this. Because the person whom Bachov swore an oath to was Tiamat, the mother of five-colored dragons, who was a real god.
"Then, I hope you can persuade a weak clan to flee first."
If Allen disappears directly with the lizard people tribe, there is no doubt that he will face the pursuit of the black dragon mother. Even if Allen is the son of the black dragon mother and will not be executed, the lizard people who follow him will definitely have no choice.
Survived.
So Allen thought of a way to take the lizardmen away with the reason of hunting down the traitors. Although they would still be discovered in the end, it would be several days later. It was unclear what the situation would be by then.
Maybe the entire Black Dragon clan has been destroyed!
As the leader of the clan, Bachov soon discovered the significance of Allen's arrangement.
"Then, sir, which clan is better to choose?"
Allen smiled sinisterly and said: "Didn't the kobold tribe have a new leader some time ago? Then he must be restless now, right?"
The new leader will definitely be afraid of following in the footsteps of the previous leader, not to mention that two kobolds have been eaten by the black dragon mother in a row.
Allen's meaning is already obvious.
"Ok, I see."
…
That night, Bachov secretly summoned all the key members of the tribe, including his wife, the lizard-man Hannah.
He repeated the news that Allen told him during the day. After listening to it, everyone present fell into panic, and everyone felt that the sky was about to fall.
Just when their thoughts were at their most chaotic, Bachov said again: "I have sworn allegiance to Lord Allen, and he promised me to lead the Lizardman tribe out of here."
"As you all know, Master Allen, he is a benevolent king. His future is destined to become a legend. We will follow him from now on. As Master Allen becomes stronger, our clan will also become stronger.
Isn’t this a time to take advantage of the opportunity?”
To be honest, many key people present were moved by what Bachov said, but there were still voices of opposition, but Bachov suppressed them as the patriarch.
In this way, many lizardmen started Allen's first step plan without knowing it.
Next, Bachov approached the new leader of the kobolds and explained the pros and cons to him. In order to make the kobolds believe that the Dark Swamp was really facing a huge disaster, Bachov even took the kobolds' patriarch to track down those human beings.
To be continued...
