Section One Hundred and Twelfth Defection
Chapter 112: Resignation
In the next few days, Ashu Rufate took this favorable time to sort out the relationship between his subordinates.
This is also a tutoring lesson. After receiving reinforcements from Xianfeng City (that is, taking over some of the troops from Astiana), he did not make any major adjustments to his subordinates. This was because he believed that the interests of both sides were consistent at that time - the two Chaos Lords were mutually beneficial. In addition, Astiana was old and weak, and had ambitions left, and the two could live together, and even could live well together.
So, at that time, Ash Rufate was all focused on launching a sudden attack in order to kill the immortal master Jacks. It was not until the mission ended that he realized something was wrong. He had only noticed some sign, but found that Astianna might not have threatened, but it did not mean that there was no one to cause the threat. When he initially wanted to induce the assassin, he just wanted to try the effect, but found that the effect was surprisingly good - although this was something he himself didn't want to see.
An enemy below him... If he was not wrong, he should be the predetermined ally Astianna. His son died and was killed by Astranfate. Although it was Sag who took action, even idiots knew that it was instructed by Astranfate.
You should know that even among the believers of Chaos, the blood ties cannot be ignored. In the Chaos Tribe, family affection is still very important. This is in line with human nature. There is a proverb in the south that father and son are in war. The more dangerous things are, the more precious the family affection can be reflected. Now that Astiana's son is dead, Astiana will definitely not ignore it.
But even so, Asu Ruffat was still confident of defeating Astiana - as long as Astiana dared to take action, he could defeat his army on the battlefield and even kill him directly. Because the whole thing has changed fundamentally now. Originally, he had to rely on Astiana's support to carry out military operations to conquer the swamp, but now, the swamp has become his base.
Although he still doesn't understand the unusual generosity of the father of the plague. Everyone says that Tsengchi always has a hook in his gift (even among Tsengchi's believers, this statement is common), so what about Nurg?
He soon found a breakthrough among the subordinates transferred by Astiana. Because there are always gaps between people. In the same group, it will be divided into small groups. In addition, among Tsengchi's believers, internal fighting is very common. Because there is one thing in Tsengchi's creed: the position above is limited, and if you want to go up, you have to pull one down. With the status of Ashrufate as the Chaos Lord at the moment, he quickly started to divide and disintegrate. Through promises, rewards, and sweet words, he quickly put a line in each small group. He said that he was a little strange. When playing these tricks, he found that he was very good at it, as if he had played this move a long time ago.
Ashrufate sat in his small tent in his daily life, looking at the man in front of him. The two sat face to face, with a pot of drunken blood in the middle of the table, and some dried mutton that is very popular among the Chaos believers. This person is called Am, a very common name. What is not common is that this person is actually a Chaos believer with no fixed faith, and has actually obtained the status of a God-selected warrior. He has more than one God's gift, the most eye-catching thing is that his left arm, the human arm has become a tentacle that constantly secretes mucus, like an octopus.
No one can tell which one the evil god’s blessing comes from, but Ashu Rufate believes that it originated from the father of the plague.
Speaking of which, the more common this kind of physical mutation goes to the north. When Ashrufate was still in the southernmost part, that is, the area around the Speechless Panic Tribe, this kind of physical mutation was rare (the Asowen tribe did not even have this type of mutation at all), but as he went north, he saw more and more examples of physical mutations, so that it is no longer surprising now. Speaking of which, most Chaos believers regard this mutation as a blessing, because this mutation greatly enhanced the combat power of humans. For example, Eum's tentacles can attack and defend in a much more flexible way than human arms, and their strength is far above human arms.
Moreover, as mentioned earlier, the arm is just the most eye-catching one. If you look closely, you can see other traces on Eum’s body. At least Ashu Rufate saw a small number of snake-like scales on his neck.
This Emu is one of the middle and lower-level officers from the Xianfeng City. The reason why he is here is because Ashu Rufat found out that he was not getting along well with his boss. As a God-Choose Warrior, although Emu has many obvious blessings from God, he still has to obey the Chaos Champion.
"Haha... Emu, I really didn't expect you to be so naive..." Ashu Rufate laughed. Although the status of the two sides was very different, Ashu Rufate's performance was very modest. It was better to say that it was a friend who treated his friends rather than a superior treating his subordinates.
"You must know that it is always appropriate to collect spoils from the defeated. This is God's promise and conforms to all the laws of chaos. Since they can snatch your legitimate spoils, what kind of 'unity' can they talk about to you? If you are the only one 'unity', then you will become a fool?"
"But, the elders in the tribe said... we should unite... Revenge is not desirable among our own people..."
"Listen, as a Chaos Lord, I can tell you the truth. Revenge is just a pure emotion, ignore the words of those self-righteous guys. If someone is unfair to you, you just have to turn your face and let hatred take root in your heart. Find a suitable opportunity to pick up the right weapon and stab the source of your hatred, it's like clearing maggots out of the wound. It's that simple."
Maybe it was because of the drunken blood, or maybe it was because of the identity of Ashu Rufate that was very convincing. Em nodded vigorously at least on the surface.
"Listen to me. You know, I will go on an unprecedented expedition and will build achievements that will attract all the gods. I need excellent warriors like you, not those wastes who have titles but are in vain."
It must be said that Ashu Rufate's words are completely lies. The promotion of chaos depends on the will of the gods. If someone is really promoted to an inconsistent position, even if it is not unique, at least it is extremely rare. But as the saying goes, "People always believe in what they are willing to believe." Although this is an obvious lie, Em nodded without any objection.
"Do it well, you will have a chance. Under my hands, you will soon become a Chaos Champion."
When Emu left, the smile on Ashu Rufat's face slowly disappeared. He was becoming more and more accustomed to the lifestyle or life logic of a chaotic society. How to deal with a group of cunning treachery believers? It's very simple, just be more cunning than them. How to deal with a betrayal? That is to respond with another betrayal.
He called out, and Rafinia walked in and cleaned everything. While he was thinking about what to do next, someone rushed in quickly, without even a notice.
"Tarek." Ashu Rufat recognized the wizard apprentice.
"Sir, the news you are looking for is here," said Tarek. "Our scouts are progressing beyond your plan..."
"What does it mean? It's beyond the plan? I thought they would bring me news twenty days ago!"
"They brought not only news about the swamp tribe... but also their leader." Tarik said. "They all came to ask for you. It seems that they have all been enlightened by the Father of the Plague."
"Where are the leaders of these swamp tribes?" Ashu Rufate asked
“Outside the camp.”
A short time later, Ashu Rufate saw a group of Nurgrey high-level believers outside the camp. These people were all decaying knights holding dirt-soaked poison blades. Some of them were wearing chaos armor - even when Ashu Rufate met, they did not take off their helmets to show their respect. However, Ashu Rufate had seen similar situations from the Immortal Lord, so they didn't care. The rest took off their helmets and showed their faces, and they had the marks given to them by their Lord God, namely lesions and deformities.
When Ashu Rufate showed their identity to them, all the Nurgle warriors paid tribute to him, and then proposed to take the initiative to join Ashu Rufate and willingly swear allegiance to him.
To be honest, although Ash Rufate had already received the promise of the father of the Plague before, he did not expect things to be so simple and easy.
These plague warriors come from many different tribes, and they are all devout believers of the father of the plague. After the news of the defeat and killing of the leader of the swamp, that is, the immortal master Jacks, they were once in chaos (which is very common for Chaos), but then God's will explain everything to them. The death of the Immortal Lord is just a normal metabolism within the believers of the father of the plague, and a battle to eliminate the unqualified weak. The leader chosen by the father of the plague, Ash Rufate, was appointed to become the new ruler of the swamp.
Some people did not believe this at first. After all, the army from outside reached an alliance with the Angry Peak City (this is no longer a secret), and among their members, the believers of the Father of Plague accounted for a very small part. But in the end, the God-Revelation given by the Father of Plague received strong evidence. Because the guard who witnessed the defeated guard of the Immortal Lord, the God-Selected Warrior of Chaos, swore in the name of God that he had seen with his own eyes that Ash Rufate could actually touch the sap of the swamp tree without any harm and regard it as clear water - the supreme blessing given to Ash Rufate by the Father of Plague was unquestionable.
By the time the day was over, Ashu Rufate discovered that he could collect an army of at least 30,000 from the swamp. If anything was wrong, it was that his doubts were further deepened. The father of the Plague fulfilled his promise-his generosity was so unbelievable that you could not doubt it.
In the late night, Ashu Rufate finally couldn't bear it. He couldn't ask Tsengchi or Nurg directly for answers, so he simply changed his partner. Yes, the conversation with Prince Huanyu took a lot of energy and was full of dangers. But Ashu Rufate asked this question after all, before he could not bear it.
"Haha...my knight, do you really worship the Lord of Deceit?" Slaanes replied with a seductive voice.
