Chapter 774: The Chosen One’s Wonderful Invitation is “Claws of Frost Teeth”

Chapter 772: The Chosen One’s Marvelous Invitation – For Brother “Frost Tooth and Claw” [430].

Today in the Valley of Shadows, on the seventeenth day of the battlefield blockade in the Barren Mountain Warzone, everyone had a rather “fulfilling” morning.

Just a few hours in the morning, the jackals blocking the entrance to the valley launched two attacks, the result of the battle is that the Nord’s position has hundreds of extra body bags, these brave soldiers on the drawbridge that symbolizes the hope of the resistance to kill an equal number of the enemy, but the jackals can afford to die, but the Nord’s commanders can’t be so “unrestrained! But the jackals could afford to die, while the Nords’ commanders could not be so “liberal” with the lives of their soldiers.

While the defenders of the valley blocked the jackals, the excavations of the dog-heads into the valley did not stop.

The Earth Priests were constantly launching precise seismic spells to collapse the tunnels excavated by the Dogs, but if they collapsed one, the Dogs on the other side would restart the excavation of at least two tunnels. When the battlefield was confined to a specific area, making it impossible to utilize the advantage of flexible interspersing, the numerical superiority of the Black Scourge side once again turned into the key to the outcome of the game.

Whether on the ground or underground, the jackals were slowly but surely gaining the upper hand, just like two arm wrestlers, in the case of similar skills, the one with more absolute strength would always win.

No army in the valley would suggest retreat at this point, but all commanders were boosting morale while preparing for orders that might come at any time, most of the pit system was still in the hands of players and NPCs, and this was their last lifeline. Unless Governor Murphy was really determined to die here with the Jackals, a retreat like the Black Flame Pass would be the optimal solution when the situation became irreversibly bad.

But this is not an escape from responsibility!

Unlike the Black Flame Pass, the strategic goal of the battlefield blockade in the Deserted Hills was to stagnate and consume, and everyone knew that a decisive battle couldn’t take place in this kind of terrain, it was simply a death sentence.

General Maxim who led the People’s Army to support the Nords was patrolling the position at this time, taking advantage of the soldiers’ resting efforts, he intended to go and talk to the commander of the Nords’ army, Basomyan, the Nords weren’t the only ones defending the valley at the moment, but perhaps in order to prove the courage of the Descendants of the Great Wilderness, these fellows stubbornly didn’t want to evacuate, resulting in their losses being quite alarming in the past few days.

Their sacrifices and wariness were there for all to see, and now there was no one in the valley who would accuse the Northmen of being responsible for the disaster at Black Flame Pass.

Maxim felt the need to make this clear to Colonel Barthomian, any longer fighting with their brutal style of warfare, the pioneers of the Winter Wolf Legion would soon be unable to continue with their follow-on duties due to their heavy losses.

All this fighting did not affect the frantic digging of the “Engineer Brigade” organized by 003 and his countrymen, and it was proved that when a group of men have the same goal and are willing to work for it, even digging a hole with a spade is much faster than one would expect.

According to the current progress, 003 optimistically estimates that they may only need 4 days to dig to the intended demolition site, which is definitely significant for the battlefield in the Shadow Valley where the intensity of the battle is getting more and more exaggerated, while this brigade of engineers is digging, a large amount of explosives are also being sent into the area designated by 003 through the tunnels that still remain open in a circuitous manner.

Command had also mobilized the martial monks of the Shadow Trail Faction and the berserkers of the Warm Brotherhood to constantly patrol the nearby pits so that this digging operation would not be accidentally detected by the dog-heads under the Jackal’s command.

Murphy and Maxim already had the idea of “doing a big job” before retreating, and 003’s adventurous action was quite compatible with this theme, so Maxim made this demolition operation the core battlefield of the final counterattack in the Valley of Shadows.

While the valley defenders were having a hard time, the smooth progress of the battles in the last few days had put Inspector Hügesen in a good mood.

Part of that pleasure also came from the guttering of Old Manson, that poor old priest had found the Hunting Chosen to take on its soul, yet the all-encompassing weakness brought on by Lady Yvette’s Arrow of Judgment still made Old Manson miserable.

Not to mention commanding battles, it now even had a hard time guiding the hunting priests in their daily prayers to the gods.

Under these circumstances, the “eyes” that the Blood Scar Clan had placed beside Xu Gerson naturally could no longer perform the secretive and harsh job of “supervising the army”, allowing the Chosen of the Hunting Gods to finally arrange their own tactics and mobilize their troops without any interference. Mobilize the army.

Facts proved that those who engaged in faith might be good at compelling and preaching, but the military aspect was by no means the field where they should shine.

Without Old Manson’s guidance, Xu Gesen’s personal command pulled the pressure on the Phantom Valley defenders in a short period of time, and the opposing side was no longer able to carry out flexible interludes under the all-round suppression of the Hunting God’s Chosen, and their strategic space was being further compressed.

This forced duel was about to be on the agenda, and Xu Gesen had no doubt about his victory.

However, this didn’t mean that the Hunting God’s Chosen could rest on their laurels either, because apart from the Valley of the Shadow, there was another factor that had been interfering with the deployment of its army in the past few days.

Those godforsaken Star Realm Wolves!

Even though the main target of the wolf plague unleashed by Hellsong was Murphy and his party, with the Jackals hunting Star Realm Wolves to replenish their fresh meat reserves, it was absolutely impossible to expect the wolves to compromise.

There simply wasn’t enough food near the Barren Mountain, so part of the wolves pushed to the vicinity of the Black Flame Pass under the leadership of the Wolf Plague Lord Jupel, who had been wounded by Lord Aurora, to join up with that unlucky Lord Vasen, who had his head chopped off, but the rest of those were commanded by Lord Baucus who kept launching ferocious sneak attack after ferocious sneak attack against the Jackalmen’s ground troops.

This was retaliation for the Jackals hunting the Starworld Wolves to use for their bellies.

This swift and ferocious retaliation forced Xugerson to spare some of his forces to fight against these rabid wolves outside of the Valley of Shadows and collect more fresh meat in preparation for the long drive into Transylvania later on.

The Split Claw Clan’s elites had no problem defeating the ordinary wolves, but the cunning and ferocious Wolf Plague Lord was indeed a big problem, so while the “pressure tactics” in the Valley of Shadows were advancing smoothly, the Hunting God of Choice decided to go out and fight them himself.

He wanted to capture and kill that damned Wolf Plague Lord as a tribute to the Lord of Hunting.

Well, that evil god would definitely enjoy such a noble tribute, and it would also make him more satisfied with his divine choice.

Poor old Manson also sent a personal request to Hügensen, who needed some of that divinely tinged blood from the giant wolf lord to help him recover.

In this situation, Xu Gerson had to show his sincerity as a matter of course.

Hunting is the traditional art of the jackals, after the Chosen Lord gave the order, a hunt against the wolf plague lord Baucus was immediately put on the agenda, and by the time Xu Gesen entered the area where the Starwolf was active with fifteen Hunting Chosen, the jackals under his command had already completed an encirclement.

The ferocious giant wolf lord was already trapped in the middle of the hunting grounds, but it was also highly likely that it had entered the area on its own initiative, treating this as its own reverse hunt against Hügsun.

As a direct bloodline descendant of the legendary beasts and Su, Baux certainly had the capital for this arrogance.

It wasn’t as powerful as Hellsong, but Xu Gerson served a god that had yet to awaken, so both sides were basically considered half-assed, with no one talking about an overwhelming advantage.

The Jackal People’s Grand Governor looked at the frozen fog and bone-crushing cold wind that was lifted up in front of him, and it stepped into it with an expressionless ride on its Deathclaw, hunting the Chosen with it, while the rest of the Jackal People’s hunters continued to hunt those ordinary Star Realm wolves in the surroundings.

Xugerson really felt at this moment that he should be thankful to these unknowing giant wolves.

In the situation where the jackal’s food route was repeatedly harassed by the Transians, these “moving meat” greatly supplemented the needs of its army, and if in the future, if Xu Gesen really captured Transia and occupied it, then he would definitely want to give a statue to the Star Realm wolves.

The name has been thought of, it is called “the wolf pack’s offering”.

“It is here, hidden in every fatal breath of ice and fog.”

The Grand Inspector sensed the silent movement of Baucus in the frozen mist with very little visibility, he was not wearing a helmet, not out of arrogance, but because his helmet had been taken by the Transylvanians during the previous attack.

It was going to reclaim what was taken from it with its own hands, and until then, it preferred to just expose its head.

It knew the giant wolf was staring at it from concealment.

What an arrogant beast, not even bothering to attack the Hunting Chosen, the target was chosen to be itself from the start, and with the sounds of the Hunting Chosen fighting the Sons of Baucus ringing out all around it, it was clear that this Wolf Plague Lord had an elite pack of his own. “Come on then!”

Xu Gerson jumped down from his seat wolf and backhandedly unsheathed his Tainted Tooth, which was entwined with blood light.

It was mindfully united with its hunting partner, waiting for the attack to appear as it cautiously advanced, and in some quietly walking moment, Baux’s massive figure silently appeared behind Xurgeson.

Ice fog rolled into a storm of impact, and a rip with the power of the Astral Realm attached bit into it in the next instant, but Hüggesen’s reaction was quicker than it could have imagined.

It was almost like a golden-red lightning bolt!
Facing the giant wolf’s fatal chokehold, the Big Dude stabbed the Tainted Tooth into Bauxite’s mouth with a backhanded thrust, causing the giant wolf to retreat into the freezing fog with a wail of pain, leaving a puddle of blood and a chipped tooth in its place.

Xu Gerson smiled with satisfaction and leaned down to collect that blood in passing and put the broken tooth into his bag as well, it was just the thing to make a protective dagger for his soon-to-be-born child.

Just that momentary exchange shouldn’t have caused such real damage to the legendary creature, but Baux’s retreat proved Hüggesen’s suspicions.

The Tainted Tooth in its hand was in essence a holy sword given to the Nords by the God of the North Wind, a weapon crafted from the sharp teeth of Sue that was a powerful deterrent and oppressive force against all Star Realm wolves, and even a son of a wolf father such as Baucus wasn’t immune to that symbolic level of damage.

“Come forth! The power of the Lord of the Hunt is wrapped around the blade, you have been stabbed, stupid and arrogant giant wolf, I can feel your position clearly, and I know that my god is drawing life and power from you.

There is nowhere for you to run anymore!”

Xu Gerson provocatively shouted:
“You were dead the moment you were stabbed, now all you can pursue is a decent fall, and I will mercifully grant you relief, wretch!”

This provocation made the giant wolf Baux hate his guts, yet he knew he had to retreat now, something was wrong with the strange sword that was haunted with filthy power! It was weakening itself rapidly after being struck.

But just as it retreated silently through its own icy mist, Xu Gesen’s ears suddenly twitched, turning around and roaring and screaming angrily, he threw the tainted tooth out of his hand, the blood-colored divine power converging into a chain wrapped around the giant sword after it, causing it to shoot over like a harpoon and a javelin.

Baux rolled up the cold wind and tried to vanish into the shadows to avoid it, but as it regrouped its body from the shadows in the other direction, the flying giant sword accurately pierced through its massive hind legs.

Lord of the Hunt’s Power-Endless Pursuit.

Anyone targeted suffers a sure blow!

“Ow!”

The Wolf Plague Lord’s hiss resounded throughout the hunting ground in this instant, that agonizing howl silenced the wolves of the Astral Realm but caused the morale of the jackals to explode, their God’s Choice was invincible! The powerful giant wolves could only become food in its mouth.

“On!”

Xu Gerson barked, pulling on the Divine Chain to pull himself to the injured giant wolf in a flash.

Its seated wolf, Deathclaw, jumped over after it, and also enhanced by the Lord of the Hunt, it gnawed on the neck of the immobile Bauxite, biting off a bloody chunk of flesh with a flick of its head, while Hüggesen drew his own tainted fangs to pummel towards the recoiling giant wolf.

The technique he used was simple and powerful, grand and atmospheric, each blow inflicting agonizing pain on the behemoth in front of him, a “Security Captain’s Sword Technique” taught by the King of the Bone Biters. Well, it’s professionally known as “King’s Blade”.

This jackal’s unimpressive Golden Transcendent Law – Voodoo Power has been replaced with Transcendent Law – Divine Hunting in the Divine Choice promotion, which does not detract from its power but also gives it the ability to prey on the enemy’s power to strengthen itself.

This was different from the temporary looting of the Blood Fear Clan, the power looting of Xugerson was permanently in effect.

In other words, the longer one dragged on when fighting this guy the stronger it would become, and the weaker the enemy would become, so if they couldn’t beat it at the start they would have to bow their heads and wait for death.

The Wolf Plague Lord was barely able to resist the piercing and tearing brought about by the Taint’s Teeth in the beginning, but soon it was unable to inflict effective kills on Xugerson, and the Claws of Lore could only leave scars on Xugerson’s armor that represented bravery.

The excited Deathclaw was having a good time today, every piece of this meat that came with the bloodline of the God of the North Wind made it feel the breath of power, and the more it ate, the stronger it got! It simply couldn’t stop.

“You should have escaped back to the Star Realm just now, but unfortunately you won’t have the chance!”

As the scaly giant wolf collapsed with a thud, the blood-soaked Xu Gerson carried the blood-dripping Tainted Tooth forward, and looking at Baux’s gaze with anger and hatred, it let out a shameful laugh and raised its sword and stabbed it into the skull of this Wolf Plague Lord.

Sue’s sharp teeth pierced through the giant wolf’s sturdy skull not much harder than slicing through butter, and as Xugerson coldly turned the blade, Baux’s massive body went completely dead after violent convulsions, and then a simple ritual representing a sacrifice was unleashed.

As Hüggesen knelt on one knee and called out the name of the Lord of the Hunt, the agonized soulful voice of the huge wolf in front of him echoed in its ears.

The blood-colored light on its body flourished, signifying that the not-yet-awakened Lord of the Hunt had expressed his supreme satisfaction with the sacrifice and granted his Chosen more power.

Yet Hogson took no joy in this.

Facts have already proved that even more divine power can not help it defeat the strange Murphy, this body of countless people want to great power in the fight with Murphy can only become a burden, ah, really a headache opponent ah.

As Baucus died, the frozen mist and cold wind that had been woven into it melted away quickly.

The jackals came with their prey, none of them were shocked by the horrible and hideous figure of Baucus, and the Hügensen who stood beside that corpse with a sharp blade in his hand was even more powerful, they shouted the name of Hügensen with fervor, and copied their skinning knives and went up to divide this rare prey under the order of the Grand Inspector.

Those with the bloodline of the North Wind God’s fresh meat will be given to the most courageous jackal warriors, but even the humble dog-headed people can get a few bones from this victory to take back to make soup.

This was another advantage of the jackals.

Though mostly barbaric, when there is enough prey, they will generously give it to “their own people”, and the Dogs obey the Jackals not only because their foolish hearts need a master, but also because when they are hungry, following the Jackals can always pick up something to eat.

Of course, the premise is that they can not become the jackal’s food.

Successful hunting put Hogson in a better mood.

It contemplated sending Baux’s skull back to the Mossy Valley, and then sending the giant wolf’s heart to Nanak as an amulet to give to his children after quenching it with a voodoo spell, which would allow his children to share in their victory, and in the process, gain courage and strength from the heart of the giant wolf.

But before Xurgeson could make a decision, a woman’s voice rang in its ears:

“I’m going to make a deal with you, brave jackal you have the sword in your hand that belonged to my father, I’ll take it! I’ll give you some time to think about what kind of payment you’re going to ask for, my generosity is rare so you’d better take advantage of it.”
