Chapter 1549 Skolk
At the same time
The Northeast Continent is located in the northern part of the gray plain, somewhere in the wilderness southwest of Duotou Cliff
In the center of the huge village, a The particularly tall lizard man, more than two meters tall, was sitting in a simple tent, looking at the brazier in front of him in trance.
The brazier is just an ordinary brazier, not a medium for divination or witchcraft. The only two functions are lighting and heating.
The reason why the lizard man stared so absorbedly at the silent burning pot in front of him was simply to concentrate his attention.
His name is Elgar Yale, he is the supreme leader of this gathering place, and everyone prefers to call him ‘Skolk’ than his given name.
The meaning of Skolk in the native language of the lizard people is 'Rebel'. For example, the name of the walled city he is currently in is called Skolk Walled City, and everyone here is Calling themselves Skok, this title will make them feel proud and proud.
After all, in this environment, any rebel can be proud of the fact that he is still alive. Of course, for those who died in the battle, the same goes for those who sacrificed their lives in the name of Skolk. It is a happy thing.
All in all, it is not difficult to see that those gathered here are a group of believers, and among these people, only those with the firmest beliefs and the noblest character, that is, those in the position of leader, can Eligible to use Skolke instead of his original name.
This is a great honor, and Elgar knows it very well and is grateful for it.
Although he also likes his original name very much, if as 'Skolk' he can give his companions the courage to continue to persevere in this extremely bad environment, Then he would love to be known as 'Skolk'.
Anyway, I don’t know how long I can stay. If I’m a bit unlucky, it may not take long for ‘Skolk’ to be replaced again.
Elgar shook his head, rubbed his brow a little tiredly, then picked up an equally dirty cup from the dirty low table at hand and drank a sip. The bad wine in the big mouth will not make people drunk, but it will make people spit. Then he glared and suddenly pulled out the broken arrow stuck in his arm.
From this scene we can see that the man named 'Skolk' is not a sharp leader who has no blood or tears and has almost lost his pain nerves. He is not that tough, even to pull out an arrow, he has to take a sip of wine to numb himself, and he is still grinning.
It is enough to show that this lizard man, whose strength is at an epic level, is not as pain-resistant as the Guan Erye outside the game.
However, Elgar is not a coward, let alone a speculator. After all, in this place, the word 'leader' has never represented power and wealth, but The almost breathless pressure and the danger of death at any time.
Elgar was not the first 'Skolk', nor would he be the last. Before him, hundreds of people with the same name had died. In the battlefield.
The first 'Skolk', who was also the first to organize these rebels, did not leave a name, and there is only a very brief sentence in the relevant records - 'The first 'Skolk' awakens from nightmares and attempts to awaken other victims. '
It is said that the first generation died shortly after escaping to this wasteland with dozens of compatriots. After that, the original right-hand man of the first generation was said to be a congenitally disabled second station Skolk. He came out, and while leading the people to struggle in embarrassment during the encirclement and suppression, he desperately called on potential partners until he died in the battle.
Then came the third, fourth, and fifth...
Up to now, more than a hundred Skolks have appeared in Elgar. How many people can live for a longer time? Years, those who are short-lived may die in a few days.
Elgar, who has been a ‘Skolk’ for nearly three years, feels that he may have exceeded the average, and is considered to have a rare longevity compared to his predecessors.
Of course, this is nothing to be proud of.
“Huh…”
Elgar, who shook his head vigorously and tried to regain consciousness, threw away the broken arrow and whispered in a low and steady voice: "Batuu."
"I'm here, Skoll. Gram."
A sturdy lizard man of similar stature to Elgar strode in and asked directly: "What's the matter?"
This one is missing half of his tail. The black-scaled lizard man who is blind in one eye does not look very respectful, but this is not because he does not know etiquette, but because there is no need for etiquette in a place like this. The leader is certainly worthy of respect, but this kind of Respect does not need to be modified with 'etiquette' and 'respect'. Those unnecessary actions will only waste everyone's time.
Elgar smiled, picked up the glass of bad wine with less than half a mouthful left on the table and handed it to Batu: "What else can I do? That horse of grain coming from the south , where are you now?”
"The people from the escort team sent a message before. If nothing else happens, it should take another two days."
Batu stepped forward to take the wine glass and drank the wine in it with an expression that was almost greedy. He wiped it clean, then licked the corner of his mouth with lingering contentment, frowned and said: "Also, the assassin who tried to kill you just now escaped. Looking at the direction, he should have gone to Guillotine Cliff."
Elgar nodded slightly and said nonchalantly: "Very good, according to this attitude, there should be no Gray Lizard Hunters coming to trouble us recently. From today on, let the patrols return to normal rotation, every day The team's rest time has been increased to six hours, and there is not much food left. We have to save some."
"I will make arrangements later. The two teams that have just been replaced are at the moment. It's time to eat."
Batu sighed and said in a low tone: "If you tell them now, they should probably stop eating."
Elgar stood up a little tiredly, and while moving his shoulders, he walked to the old map hanging on the left side of the tent, with a bitter expression on his face: "Over there at the Blood Feather Terrace... it seems that a new queen has been elected."< br>
Batu looked at the position in the upper right corner of the map with a serious expression. He said in a deep voice: "Yes, according to the inside information, the chaos on the Blood Feather Terrace ended about three days ago. This is not a good sign."
"Of course this is not a good sign. A good sign.”
The mind is not very bright, but it is. Elgar, who once served as an officer in the Gray Lizard Hunt, nodded with a wry smile, his expression as ugly as possible: "The reason why we have been able to take a breather during this period is mainly because of those people from the Holy Religion Alliance. Severely injured the Lacerated Queen and plunged the Bloodfeather Terrace into chaos. , and even the Guillotine Cliff, Gray White Plains, and Gangya Tribal Nation have also settled down, but now..."
Batu is not the kind of person who is very independent, so he did not pick up the fight, but He cast a trusting look at 'Skolk' next to him and waited for the next step.
Elgar, who originally didn't expect the other party to say anything, sighed and said with a solemn gaze, "The Blood Feather Terrace side has already paid a sufficient price, and according to past practices, the other three forces will not do anything to them. They killed them all, and if the new queen wanted to make up for the losses, she would definitely They will use their tribe’s high mobility to harass the south, and during this period, other parties led by Guillotine will probably teach us a lesson..."
"We can only bite the bullet and carry it on. "At this moment, a cat with shoulder-length short hair, delicate features and a charming figure appeared. A half-orc woman walked in slowly and said calmly in her magnetic voice: "We no longer have enough resources and detour space. Large-scale migration is too unrealistic."
< br>
Elgar turned to look at the man who joined the resistance two months ago. , a woman who has never mentioned her identity but has excellent coordination ability, nodded vigorously: "I think so too. By the way, you are late, Yuekui."
" I left a mark on the man who almost killed you.”
The young catwoman known as Yuekui raised her little hand, showed the two people the inverse pentagram that was quietly burning on the back of her hand, and said calmly: "Although there is no way to track that person, if there is no way to track that person, if there is someone over there at Sleeping Head Cliff, If you continue to send him to deal with you, I can at least get an early warning."
After hearing this, Elgar said nothing more, nodded briefly, and continued to look at the map in front of him with an expression on his face. Very dignified.
The cat-eared girl, whose nickname in the game is 'Chaoyue Aoi' and whose main profession is [Pain Warlock], slowly walked over and followed two burly lizardmen who could almost hold several of themselves. Let’s study the current situation side by side.
The painting style of this Yuekui girl is not in harmony with the environment. First of all, she is very beautiful and looks very abrupt between the two humanoid lizards. Secondly, her outfit is very fashionable. To summarize briefly In a nutshell, it's a dark dress that's well-tailored, exquisitely made, and comes with black silk and a tie.
Elgar and Batu are each wearing a set of rough and weathered heavy armor. Although they look very wild and beautiful, at least 90% of them must be wild, and the rest must be The 'beauty' to one tenth depends on the individual.
However, both of them had expressions of familiarity, and they were obviously used to this mysterious companion.
It can be seen that although she is a player, Moonflower has still won the trust of the Skolk resistance, and she seems to have a high status and voice.
“I don’t think Guillotine Cliff wants to completely annihilate us. Even if they have this intention, the other three forces will not do anything. We, the only group of rabble who can relatively contain Guillotine Cliff, were easily killed. "
After a while, Elgar suddenly said this, then turned to look at Batu and Yuekui behind him, and said solemnly: "But the Gray Lizard Hunter will not let me go, a traitor. , so..."
"So, you plan to lead a group of death squads and use your own death to satisfy the false king of Duhead Cliff and buy time for everyone?"
Yue Kui interrupted him with a sneer, shook her head and said: "Give up, Mr. Skolk, now is the largest number of people in this resistance army in history, and it is also the most vulnerable time. If you, the leader, die, At this juncture, there is probably no need for Duolingya to take action, just The internal turmoil is enough to destroy everything."
Elgar shook his head irritably and waved his hands: "I will not be the last Skolk."
"I don't deny this, but if you die at this time, I'm afraid it will really Becoming the last Skolk."
Yue Kui turned to look out the window and narrowed her eyes slightly: "We are now short of food, medicine, equipment and safe areas. Everyone wants to do something. , but they don’t know how to overcome this difficulty. Those shipping costs are higher than Food that is 20% more expensive is just a drop in the bucket. Everyone is already confused enough now. Your death will definitely be the last straw that breaks the unfortunate camel's back. "
Elga Wrinkle. He frowned: "What is a camel?"
"A beast of burden with extremely poor load-bearing capacity."
Yue Kui made a random joke, and then said seriously: "In short, if you die, Skolk will cease to exist. If you want to Finding a Skolke who is authoritative enough to be recognized by the vast majority of people and lead everyone in a short period of time is simply a dream."
Batu nodded. Weng Sheng Weng echoed angrily: "I think Yue Kui is right. In this situation, no one can really replace you."
"Who said that?"
In the end, Elgar was Suddenly he laughed, and then he put his hands on the shoulders of Batu and Yuekui respectively, and said with a smile: "I think you two are good, no matter who plays Skolk, he will be good."
Batu was stunned immediately, and then shook his head vigorously: "Don't be joking."
"It's not like you to break the pot or break the pot. Batu is too ambitious, even with my help, he can't be safe." I can cause some trouble on impulse. In my words...it does meet the requirements. After all, I have become familiar with everyone during this period, but the problem is that I don't like to be a leader. It's okay to plan occasionally, but it's not true if I work for a long time. That piece of material.”
Yuekui retorted slowly, and then when Elgar was about to say something else, she suddenly raised her hand and said seriously: "I have an idea. Although it may not be feasible, it is very good. might save us from this Temporarily rescued from the predicament."
Elgar's eyes suddenly lit up and he urged quickly: "You say"
"I will go to Dunbu on behalf of our group. Asia City.”
Yue Kui raised her hand and pointed to the aerial view of a quarter of the city in the corner of the map, and said seriously: "If possible, I hope we can reach cooperation with the people of the Holy Religion Union. I asked someone to investigate their Bishop Jost. After that, although he has no ability, his character is relatively noble, and he can still provide some simple support."
"Are you crazy?"
Elgar shouted immediately. Such a sentence.
“She’s crazy.”
Batu immediately agreed without thinking.
After that, the two of them said in unison -
"When did the Holy Religion Union take care of our life and death?"
