Section 90 Reason

Even Sag - as mentioned earlier, it was purely an accident.

In terms of magic power, it is a little better. There are four apprentices, including Tarik, who are willing to follow Ashu Rufate. In this way, with Ashu Rufate himself, there are five magicians in the entire army. Even if the combat power is not particularly strong, at least it cannot be considered weak.

Speaking of which, the usual form of the Chaos Legion is a bit similar to that of the Green Skin. In the Green Skin, the orc boss who can fight and chop is a general, and those shamans who can use magic are staff officers. The same is true for the Chaos Legion. The Chaos Lord (or Chaos Champion) who can charge into battle are generals, and the wizards serve as the general's assistant and staff officer. The difference between the two is that if there is no suitable Chaos Lord or Chaos Champion, then the wizards can also serve as generals. In the Green Skin, there is no problem with a shaman leading a team, but it is impossible to become a general who commands a large legion.

"Sir?" Flint owed.

"The City of Dangerous Peak is already willing to support our operations. Starting tomorrow, if the soldiers want to enter the city, they can get them into the city. But don't go to too many people at once, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." Ashu Rufate said.

Flint owed again, indicating that he would accept the order.

"In this way, we temporarily resolve the base problem." Tarek asked. "What's the situation on the swamp?"

"It's not good." Ashu Rufate didn't hide it. "If Astiana didn't lie to me, it would probably be an extremely difficult challenge."

Tarik had long known that Ashurufate came here with guidance from the gods. In fact, Ashurufate's goal was not from the beginning, but from the swamp next to it - although Tarik did not understand why the gods fell in love with this almost worthless swamp. Perhaps the swamp itself is of no value, it is just a test. As everyone said, the gods are always testing their believers, eliminating the inferior, and promoting the strong. Especially when they want to promote a certain believer, they often give a test to let the believers prove their value.

"What's the difficulty?"

"First, there is insufficient troops." Asu Ruffat said. When he set out from the Speechless Panic Tribe, he had only seven thousand people under his command. Although the overall calm along the way, conflicts were impossible to avoid. Of course, every battle, Asu Ruffat laughed to the end. However, his approach to dealing with the losers was a bit unconforming to the normal state of chaos - he almost forgave all the tribes that tried to attack him, and no one was destroyed. Many people were confused about this.

The facts seem to show the correctness of Ashurufate - after many battles along the way, his army's number not only did not decrease, but increased. Moreover, this was not the consequence of being a substitute, but his forgiveness made many losers willing to join. But even so, until now, Ashurufate's army had only about 10,000 people. "Astianna said that the residents in the swamp were far more than outsiders expected, and at least the number would not be less than the Dangerous Peak City."

"So many?" Tarek was slightly surprised. The conservatively estimated that the troops in Xianfeng City were 30,000 to 40,000. Although Ashrufate's troops were of high quality, and most of the soldiers had Chaos Armor, they could not offset such a large number gap.

"And the swamp... is a very troublesome place. Without the blessing of the father of the plague, ordinary people could hardly live in it because they could not find suitable water, let alone food. So no army could go deep into the swamp. The only place that can be used as a battlefield is the outer edge of the swamp, which is dangerous even there. The worst thing is that if the enemy retreats, it will be difficult for us to pursue. Of course, this is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that the swamp is not the situation where there are many tribes I had expected before, and a Chaos Lord ruled here."

"A Chaos Lord..." Tarik understood that things had changed completely. In fact, the population of the Chaos Tribe in the swamp is not a big problem. After all, Tsengqi's believers know how to divide and win over this. As long as they can cause division, the lack of their own military strength is not a problem that cannot be compensated. But having a Chaos Lord means that all the Chaos Tribes in the swamp are one. Meanings such as differentiation, disintegration, and absorption may not work.

"It is not the newly rising Chaos Lord, but an old Chaos Lord named "Immortal Lord" Jacks. It is said that he is the most beloved child of the father of the plague, and has received the supreme blessing of the father of the plague, and is no longer troubled by the mortal life, old age, sickness and death." Ashu Rufate stood up and circled in the tent. "I'm afraid... it's much more complicated here than I expected." Ashu Rufate said.

"grown ups……"

"The Lord of Deceit cannot not know about this 'Immortal Lord'. If that's the case, why did he let me do it?" Ashurufat whispered to himself. "Is this swamp having a special meaning? Wait, Astiana once wanted to conquer the swamp, but ultimately failed. In other words, the Lord of Deceit had a long attempt to make this place? Special meaning? Wait, I think I understand!"

"Sir," Tarek asked cautiously, "What have you figured out?"

“Conquering this swamp is the mission given to me by the gods,” said Ashu Rufate. “This is not a simple test, but a more complicated thing.”

He waved his hand and signaled that he wanted to be alone and quiet.

The gods... Although they are called evil gods in the south, they are also gods. The will of gods are really unpredictable or conjecture? Then again, every Chaos believer he saw was superstitious, not as arrogant as him, and wanted to guess God's motives.

In fact, this is not the stupidity of the Chaos believers, but how can people who grew up in such an environment not be superstitious? Think about it, if a person often sees miracles that humans cannot understand since childhood, he will also blindly worship and follow God.

"Astiana... It's a pity," he imagined the face of the old Chaos Lord who seemed weak as the years passed. "You had a further chance. Tsengchi gave you this opportunity... As long as you conquer the swamp, you can go further."

He now knows that although the realm of Chaos is vast, the four evil gods actually have core areas. Within this "core domain", people live in tribes that worship single evil gods, and there are almost no tribes of mixed faith. Ashrufate didn't understand why at first - or he didn't think about it carefully. But now, it's very problematic, because the migration of the Chaos tribe is common (for example, the Asowen tribe once migrated from the central region of the Chaos Realm to the southernmost end). From this point of view, these four areas can be understood as the private territory of the evil gods.

However, there is no stable system of loyalty like the southerners, such as kings and nobles, and civilians. Although the area believes in the same god, it is common for each other to fight civil wars - from this point of view, it is no different from other chaos realms.

It is easy to see that such a "country" is very unstable because it has no way to gather strength to fight against foreign invaders. Logically, if a Tsengchi tribe invaded Slaanesia's territory, it will not face the entire power of the entire country, but the tribe in front of it. On the contrary, a unified country like the South would not have this problem: Although the Chaos Legion actually only launched an attack on White Fort, it will face the power of the entire country of Groone, and sometimes the power of other countries of the seven central countries is also added.

If you think about it carefully, you will find it strange. This obviously unstable form is finally fixed, and there must be a reason behind it.

"So that's it, it's the terrain." Ashu Rufate turned around and took out a map from a bag next to it. Speaking of which, although Chaos is in a tribal form, their map is very good. This is mainly attributed to Tsengchi's wizard. As people know, every Tsengchi's wizard was rewarded by the Lord of Deception and was given a flying magic plate - when a person can fly to a very high sky and see the earth, it becomes a very easy thing to draw the ground. Ashu Rufate has the heart, he can spend several years drawing the entire map of the Chaos Realm.

really……

The map proves Ashrufate's speculation. The so-called "core area" is actually not designated by the gods as they wish, but is "circled" with special terrain. This is also the norm of human countries - the same is true for southern countries. The frontiers of two countries must have a key point, such as a fortress located on a plain, a ferry crossing of a big river, etc. In short, it is an extremely favorable terrain suitable for defense. When the country's strength is weak, defending these key points can ensure the security of the country. When the country is strong, these key points will become a bridgehead for external expansion.

For example, Groney's White Fort is the best example. As long as the White Fort is in Groney's hands, the Chaos Legion will be unable to pose too much threat.

His eyes were in the north of the map. There was a territory of terror, and a large fortress (also clearly drawn on the map) controlled the main road between the two mountains. There was no doubt that this was the key to preventing outsiders from entering his core area. The tribes in the south had to conquer this fortress in order to penetrate into the realm of terror.

His eyes returned to his position, before the swamp. Nurg's territory did not have a castle, but this swamp was a castle. This swamp was the best natural defense, and another immortal Chaos Lord who controlled the swamp...

So that's it? If I could control this swamp, it would mean... the realm of the father of the plague opened its doors to others. This is why Astiana occupied the city of Dangerous Peaks, and why he was ordered to conquer the swamp. Unfortunately, he failed.

This is why I came here. Ashu Rufat raised his hand and looked at the ring in his hand. Tsengchi's emblem shone on the ring. The words of the Lord of Deceit seemed to be circling in his mind.

"Yes, terror is planning some plans to break the balance. But our first goal is not terror, but Nurgle. He is hiding now, seemingly neutral, but in fact he intends to make profits from it after seeing others lose both sides..."
