Chapter 13 Revenge
Chapter 113 Revenge
Slaanes' words were like lightning, instantly splitting the doubts in Ash Rufat's mind.
"...My Knight, I have more things to give you..." Perhaps because of the moment of shock and hesitation in Ash Rufate's heart, the power in Slaanes's words suddenly increased a lot. Passion, excitement, and promises for the future. "...The secret of darkness, the power that rivals God, and the pleasure that cannot be obtained in dreams..."
Ashu Rufate struggled to move the ring away from his forehead. This was the shortest time he had communicated with Slaanes (as far as he felt personally), but the most difficult time. Because when he finally put his stiff arms on the table, he felt a chill on his entire backbone.
He once thought that if he focused his mind, he could resist the temptation of Slaanes - at least for a long time. But now he found that he might be overestimating himself. Every time he communicated with Slaanes, his thoughtful wall of will was further eroded. Perhaps next time, he would succumb to Slaanes' voice full of desire and temptation, and admit that the prince of entertainment was supreme like other believers of Slaanes.
But at least, he solved the mystery of Nurgle.
In fact, this mystery is also very simple - so simple that it can be penetrated by one word. In fact, the reason why he failed to see through was entirely because his thinking had penetrated into a dead end.
Tsengqi and Nurg are competing for control of this swamp, but because of the different strategic situations of the two sides, their goals are different. Tsengqi loses as long as he doesn't win, and Nurgqi wins as long as he doesn't lose.
The significance of this swamp is that it is a natural defensive zone that prevents any non-Nurgre believers from entering his "core area of faith". Therefore, for Nurgre, it doesn't matter whether his subordinates control the swamp - as long as he can ensure that others cannot pass through this swamp, he will reach the lowest goal. Although Ashu Rufate was sent by Tsengchi, as mentioned earlier, Ashu Rufate is not a true believer of Tsengchi, at least not the type that Tsengchi can manipulate and control as he wishes.
Since there are difficulties in stopping Ashrufate, why not stop it? Just handing over the rule of the swamp to him, which will make it more important to ensure that Tsengchi's power cannot reach out.
Of course, on the other hand, Tsengchi also won his most basic goal - that is, by applying pressure, to force Nurg to join the war. Nurg made a promise to Ashu Rufa that the father of the plague was also determined to join the chaos civil war. Behind this decision, there must be other negotiations, planning and plans among the gods, which were not known to Ashu Rufat - he didn't need to know.
It is also a pity that the gods are intriguing, Ash Rufate can take the initiative now. But he also knows that he is definitely not the first person to use the intriguing between gods to seek benefits. As early as when he first arrived, he heard many stories from the Asowen tribe that high-level Chaos believers used the gods to fight for him to achieve the greatest benefit - this is also a state of reverence and yearning for by the believers of Chaos. Think about it, the gods are attracted by your power and make various gifts and promises to you just to let you stand in his camp - what a great glory this is. However, if there is a legend about the ending of those Chaos heroes who are fighting for by the gods in the legend, there will be no good results in that legend.
Now Ashu Rufate can clearly see the game between Tsengchi and Nurg. The Chaos Lord Astiana was sent by Tsengchi to control the swamp (he was undoubtedly not the first one to fail), in order to have a passage to penetrate into the core area of Nurgchi. However, as Nurgchi's guard dog (this metaphor is very suitable), the Immortal Lord eventually failed Astiana's plan.
Tsengchi undoubtedly wanted to get this swamp - not even completely control it, but just have a path of infiltration. Because this is equivalent to putting a knife on Nurg's head, which will undoubtedly have the advantage in future chess. So he simply took advantage of this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. He has three advantages. First, although Astiana failed to complete the task, he had completely controlled the Angle City, so Tsengchi's side had a solid base in this war. Second, Tsengchi could use the power of Assurfate, who came from the south and had rich military experience. Third, this action was supported by Slaanes because of the name of "oppressing Nurg into the alliance". Perhaps it was because of the combination of these three advantages that Tsengchi boldly pulled the hindrance for Assurfate to gain more initiative for the next step.
Tsengchi did not make any mistakes in the calculation - anything is correct. The only thing he did not consider was time. Ashu Rufate used magic to condense water into ice to launch an unexpected surprise attack, killing the Immortal Lord in one fell swoop. There were only more than ten days before and after, so he did not arrange the next piece of pawn. Nurgo was also smart. He realized that fighting Ashu Rufate was more dangerous and might further lose useful pieces, so he simply met Ashu Rufate's goal and directly turned him into neutral.
Tsengqi lost if he didn't win, and Nurg won if he didn't lose. So in this game, half of Tsengqi's plan to kill two birds with one stone was considered to be a loss, but the other half still won. Nurg finally agreed to join the war.
Now, everything can be clearly distinguished. Ashu Rufate carefully recalled the whole process. Tsengchi's small abacus had nothing to do with him, at least his goal had been achieved. In any case, the three gods had finally reached an agreement to use Ashu Rufate's hands to defeat the terror that destroyed the chaotic balance.
Of course, on the other hand, the three great gods wanted to control Ashu Rufate and brought him under their command continued. Now, the three parties seem to have made progress, but no one can achieve their goals. Everyone has different trump cards, so the conditions prepared are also different. Tsengchi has the bait of "restore Ashu Rufate's lost memory", and Slaanes has the method of "using spiritual communication to completely control Ashu Rufate". Nurgra seems to have neither what Ashu Rufate urgently needs, nor the ability to subtly change people's hearts like Slaanes, so he can only offer the most generous conditions to compete with the other two gods.
From this point of view, it is understandable that Nurg is so generous.
Ashrufate carefully settled the whole thing. Now, he thought he had finally grasped the entire context of this matter - of course, the price was also very heavy. At least, he thought he could not take the initiative to summon the Prince of Fun again. Slaanesia's power was stronger than he expected. Next time, maybe next time, he would be completely controlled by Slaanesia.
He turned to look at the table. Due to Rafinia, there was always a pot of drunken blood on the table. He had not drunk enough for this period of time.
Now, there is one thing, the last thing... handle Astiana well. If he wants to fight, then give him a war!
Then he heard a messy sound outside. The sound should have come from the edge of the camp. At this time, when he had rectified the military camp, this sound should not have appeared.
After a short while, on the periphery of the camp, Ashu Rufate found out the source of the noise.
It was a team of sneak attackers—the number was about thirty people, half of whom were wearing Chaos Armor. From the color of the armor, it was easy to see that they were Nurgur's believers. When they were sneaking into the camp, they were discovered by sentries arranged by Ashu Rufate. Then a battle broke out naturally.
A battle without suspense.
Now, half of the thirty invaders were killed or injured, and what's worse, they were completely surrounded. Enemies from all directions surrounded them, and more enemies were coming. Dozens or even hundreds of torches were held in their hands, illuminating everything around them.
The number of the two sides was so disparate that the battle had lost its meaning at this time. The invaders formed a circular formation and remained motionless, and the soldiers in the camp were not in a hurry to launch an offensive - every little more time, their strength would increase by a point. However, this stalemate did not last long. A patrol team arrived, leading a wizard. He stepped on the magic plate and had a broad vision. He could see clearly that the enemy had no reinforcements, so he casually ordered the soldiers to prepare for an attack.
There are about thirty brave little bugs, what's worth fussing? Speaking of which, although the entire swamp is now impressed by Lord Ash Rufate, it's not surprising to say that a few ignorant little bugs emerge.
"Kill him...ah, Lord Ashu Rufate?!" The wizard saw Ashu Rufate in the crowd. The exquisite chaotic armor on the latter's body shone brightly under the torch, which was particularly eye-catching.
The soldiers automatically separated a path and asked their general to step forward. Ashu Rufate could see the situation clearly with just one glance - all of these attackers were Nurgur's believers. The one who led was a Chaos champion. However, even the Chaos champion could not withstand such a huge number of battles. There were two broken black steel spears on his armor, and although they were not hit by the key points, they were seriously injured.
"Who are you?" Ashu Rufate asked, "What are you doing here?"
"You are Ash Rufate?" said the Chaos champion gritted his teeth. His voice was filled with undisguised anger and hatred, like a mixture of burning grit and blurry screams. "You must be a natural idiot to come here. Don't you know that your shameless Tsengchi believer never comes to the front line of battle? Even the most disparate battles are the same. Have you been so eager to pursue the wonderful taste of death? I was about to come to the door to 'greeting', but you came by yourself, very well. We are here to find you."
"Silly intimidation." Ashu Rufat didn't blink. "You are here to find me? Who are you?"
"We are Lord Jacks' subordinates, and we are here to avenge him!"
"It's so funny," Ash Rufate laughed, the banter in his eyes began to grow, "You come to me for justice to revenge? To a Chaos Lord?"
"Killed Lord Jacks for you."
Ash Rufate shrugged. "Of course, it was me who killed him. I initially wanted to pick his dirty and weak bones to make soup." Ash Rufate said. "Maybe it comforts you that his child-like whimper and stupid pig-like scream did not last long, because there was no bone for soup to make soup at all." His eyes stared at the unknown Chaos champion. "Who asked you to come? Tell me, it will be good for you."
"Oh, I know a lot of things, Ashu Rufate, many things, but I don't seem to have reason to tell you. In fact, I'm sure you are the mortal enemy." Chaos champion said provocatively. "Come and duel with me. If you win, I will tell you!" His eyes were enthusiastic. A Chaos champion and a Chaos Lord won a small win duel, but it was more likely to win than the battle between thirty or so people and tens of thousands of troops.
An elaborate trap? Or just a reckless and brainless impulse? Ashu Rufate narrowed his eyes. Before he knew it, he had completely thought about it from the standpoint of a Chaos champion.
