588.Chapter 586 585 Popok’s First Return from the Dead Plus More

Chapter 586 585. Popok’s First Survival from the Dead – Plus [2730].

(For “Little Lager Who Doesn’t Eat Fish” [2/5])
His Excellency Popok, the Governor of the “Black Eyes Clan”, who was carrying out scouting duties for the Black Plague army, was very annoyed at the moment.

Don’t worry about this weird name that doesn’t sound like a jackal at all, but rather speaks in halfling semantics.

It is said that when Popok was born, its clan captured an unlucky halfling explorer, that explorer in order to survive to the clan chief, that is, Popok’s old man flattered, and also gave the baby jackal name, and successfully rely on this trick to survive.

Although the explorer was stabbed to death by the grown-up Popok himself after a few years of living as a savage, on the plus side, Popok did have a name that stood out amongst the jackals, and he got to eat some very fresh “wisdom meat” that night.

Not much of a drawback, except that it’s a little old.

In short, Popok Black-eyed Dude is a very powerful hunter and comes from a “noble” background. The Black-eyed Clan from which he comes is not one of the five most powerful clans in the Dark Mountains, but it is still a big tribe in the middle of the pack.

The young governor was therefore sent out to fulfill an important role in the Black Plague.

It was supposed to bring the elite of the Black Eyes Clan all the way to the vicinity of the Black Flame Pass to scout that difficult position in detail and send back information for the Grand Governor who had already appeared from the Mossy Valley, however, right now, Lord Popok was extremely annoyed.

Because it had already received disgusting news of failure twice in a row.

“What do you mean by ‘no news’?”

In the makeshift camp of the Black-Eyed Clan, Popok’s growl echoed through its tent.

The young governor growled at the two scout captains:

“The day before yesterday, three centurions went out and didn’t return! I sent two more cannon fodder centurions this morning to check on the situation, and they still haven’t returned! All I want to know now is where my soldiers have gone!

And you two are telling me you don’t know!
Shouldn’t they have tested the position at Black Flame Pass?
Even if they were all dead, at least a few lucky ones should have come back to report the situation, right?
Although those guys aren’t our clan’s elite and are just cannon fodder for the vassal clans, I have a total of twelve centurions under my command! Hell, half of my soldiers just disappeared without bringing back any useful information!”

It was well known that when a jackal was annoyed was when it was at its most dangerous, and the reprimanded scout captain didn’t even chime in, lest his own inspector use him as a target to vent his anger.

It was only after Popok finished his rant that the other, older scout captain spoke up:

“It’s not like there’s no news at all, this morning someone saw smoke in the direction of the mountain pass, like it was engaged, and the timing was right with us sending out a second scout that could match up, but the problem is that place isn’t the Black Flame Mountain Pass at all.

It’s an unnamed plateau, and it’s still a long way from Black Flame Pass.

Perhaps the Blood League vampires guarding it had sent out their hounds to stop our soldiers.

I suggested last night that you not be in such a hurry to send out more men just yet .”

“Hmm?”

Governor Popok stared at the subordinate in front of him with displeasure as it growled:

“So, you mean this is all my fault?”

“No no no, it’s those unlucky fools’ bad luck, it has nothing to do with you, but what now?”

That old scout knew the art of conversation well, it changed the topic and asked:
“Although we lost a lot of people, but at least it proves that the Black Flame Pass side is not good to fight, although the vassal clans can’t fight well but they can run fast there are still seat wolves but even so they didn’t manage to run out.

I think it would be better to send a message to Grand Inspector Hurley, who is in charge of us, to ask the Whiptail Clan or the Bite Bone Clan to send more warriors, and we’ll stop here and wait for them to come over to join us.”

“That’s right, Governor, our clan is originally a dependent clan under the Whiptail Clan, although there is something to be gained from something like the Black Plague, we have to live long enough to reap the benefits first.”

The other scout captain wailed twice and discouraged:
“The old chief specially reminded us when he sent you out, telling us to be more meticulous and lewd, whether we can snatch things or not is secondary, preserving the clan is the main thing. We’ve already lost so many people, we can’t give it away now!”

“Dogs!”

The persuasion of the two scout captains made Popok very angry.
It was a young and courageous jackal, the last time the black plague happened was already in his grandfather’s generation, his own father was mediocre all his life, it was not easy for him to catch up with the good times of the black plague, he should learn from the King of Biting Bones, and use his own knife to grab the fertile land under the sun for the jackals.

The Governor of Popoc who has a strong heart is surely unable to listen to this kind of “weak” speech of his two subordinates.

It cursed:

“How can the Black Plague win if we all think about preserving our strength? The Bone Biting King failed because the other clans wanted to reap the benefits and were not willing to fight with the cowardly humans! Ah! How can you manage the Black Plague with bugs like you?

If you are afraid you can take yourselves and go back to that old man and I will take the young men with courage in the clan to win the glory!

The Great Bone Biting King and the Great Whiptail King will reward me for it.

Get out!
All of you!

I don’t need fools like you in my clan.”

It punched and kicked the two cowardly old scout captains away, then had its guards blow their horns, intending to take the remaining five hundred men to scout a wave of the Black Flame Pass themselves.

The two old scout captains didn’t spoil it either, they were the true cronies of the old black-eyed chief, could they take this kind of anger? After being rebuked by this defeated young chief, without saying a word, they left the place with the two hundred elites of the Black Eyes Clan.

Popok want to bring people to die no one stop, anyway, the soldiers under its command are miscellaneous army, the real clan elite are in the hands of the old chief.

Most importantly, the old chief has more than just one child.

Boboc also has a more stable and more intelligent and not lack of courage sister, jackal clan female status is not low, the dark mountain range also has a lot of female jackal chiefs, one of the five clans of the split claw clan is directly by the mother of the den in power.

This is probably the only few advantages of the Jackal civilization.

However, although the young Jackal Dude Popok Blackeye is reckless, it is not stupid.

It said that it wanted to build a career, but in reality, it was still afraid of death, so it took its own guards and walked in the center of the five hundred-man squad, and advanced towards the Black Flame Mountain Pass at a very slow speed, but the result was that it hadn’t even stepped out for two hours, when the vanguard scouts sent in the dreadful news.

“What did you say? What’s up ahead? A flag? What kind of flag?”

The scout’s flip-flopping report annoyed Popok, but he could tell he was a little spooked by the way the scout was saying stupid things like “heads” and “towers” and “crazy humans” and so on. and “crazy humans”.

But there was something up ahead for sure.

This made Popok immediately feel energized, he knew that this place was still a long way from the Black Flame Pass, so whatever was in front of him couldn’t be the main force of the Knights of the Blood League’s defenders.

If they were the ones who had eaten the two centurions they had sent out this morning, then by now they were definitely still recuperating, and it was impossible for any more powerful human armies to fight off the Jackal Elite without any injuries, and they definitely weren’t at full strength.

They must not be at full strength. If they took the opportunity to steal a wave, they might be able to do something great!
Driven by this thought, Popok immediately mounted his own wolf, which was embellished with various skulls, and wailed as he accelerated forward with the young jackals who were willing to follow him.

Soon, it saw the sight ahead.

On a barren plateau stood a towering banner, the blood-colored battle flag looked majestic, but what was frightening was the base of that flag.

The head!

It was full of jackal heads!

Maintaining their dying posture they were chopped off and stacked, and there were guys carrying new heads to throw on top of them.

There were other flags planted around the damn heights, like a damn flag-raising platform, and in the distance there was a convoy of “loot” leaving with a blue and gold flag, like a bunch of marauders had taken away the dignity of the jackals.

The ferocious nature of the jackals can not stand this kind of aggression?
Immediately, there were roars of anger, and even the wolves began to growl.

“Lead us in a charge! Cunning Popok!”

An angry jackal hunter shouted:

“Those humans are humiliating our warriors! Are you just going to watch? Those are all vassals of our Black-Eyed Clan! Popok, do something!”

“I’ll kill them all!”

Popok roared.

But instead of charging immediately, with a hint of doubt still in its anger, it turned its head to one of the hunters beside it and asked:
“Is this high ground some kind of important position?”

“Uh, it doesn’t seem to be, the terrain isn’t treacherous, and it’s far from their positions, there isn’t a current or anything, it’s not even a good place to set up camp.”

“Then why did they put up this flag here?”

“Uh, I don’t know, maybe just so we could see it clearly coming from this direction?”

“So weak humans are deliberately provoking us?”

“Uh, not sure, but it should be.”

“Hmm.”

Popok rode on the seat wolf. It surveyed that high ground in front of it with a suspicious gaze, there were some defenders beside that high ground, they should have just experienced a battle seemingly tired and scattered, there were also some guys who ran to a place far away from the position lying on the ground not knowing what they were doing.

Ch, so lazy, a look is not elite soldiers!

It’s possible that the real elites have already retreated after the battle, so they left these trash soldiers here to watch as bait.

Their own warriors just need to charge a wave of absolutely can dry them down!

Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!

Although the hunters under his command were a motley crew, the Hundred beside him were the most powerful trackers of the Black Eyed Clan.

The ferocity in Popok’s eyes grew more and more unrestrained, and the hunting knife in its hand swung forward as it shouted:
“Charge! Chop off their heads as well and pile them into towers! Take that damned flag back to the Bone Biting Lord! This will be Clan Blackeye. No, this will be another victory for me, Popok.”
—
“Hmm?”

At this moment, “Ruthless Horse Fork Worm” who was pouting and digging for herbs at the edge of the Death Arena and the newcomer “Ohio Pig” who was asking for advice on gathering techniques felt a vibration in the ground, and both of them looked up sharply to see an “army” of Jackals rushing towards this side like a tidal wave. “The two of them looked up sharply and saw an army of Jackals rushing towards them like a tidal wave.

“F*ck! Is this monster brushing so fast? It’s killing me.”

Horse Fork Bug didn’t dare to delay, threw the dug herbs into the bag, grabbed the Ohi Pig who still wanted to shoot black shots in place and ran back, stupid child, at this distance the blank gun in your hand can’t even break defense when hitting the jackal ah.

He took the munchkin while running towards the position, while grabbing the arithmetic treasure beads towards the high ground side and shouted to:
“Brother Woo Meow! Quick, organize the defense! The Jackals are here again, and there are a lot of them this time! It looks like there are four or five hundred of them.”

“Don’t play around, they’re coming to life, get to work!”

Brother Woo Meow had also seen the Jackals coming to attack in front of them.

He lifted his axe and scattered seeds to summon the Bleeding Wood Tree People, and shouted in the team frame, the other players who were resting immediately stopped groping for fish in the forums, and some of the ones who were offline were also shouted up.

While they were organizing their defense on the high ground, the “artillery” placed at the edge had already opened fire first.

The scene of fifty to sixty barrel boys firing together was amazing, although the chance of exploding the shells that Brother Loyalty hand rubbed down was not 100%, the explosion caused by projecting so many shells at one time was enough to make the first wave of jackals charging in suffer.

“Blanch! Why didn’t it explode? I clearly planted mines there!”

Dumbfounded as he watched the jackals cross over his “minefield” without any injuries, the “Medic God of War Saints”, who was assigned to the first battle group, jumped up and cursed Brother Loyalty’s products for being unreliable, but just as the third “F! But just as the third “F” word came out, the five mines he had planted were detonated almost simultaneously.

The terrifying shock lifted the unlucky jackals into the air, creating another massacre as dirt and rocks flew across the sky.

The combined firepower of the small barrels and mines confused the first wave of jackals that rushed over, and the hunters who had already prepared and chosen a good “sniper position” had already begun their brutal harvesting, they were all practiced and knew that ordinary bullets couldn’t kill the jackals with a single shot, so they greeted them towards their legs and lower body.

A time wail miserable sound resounded in the sky.

The morale of the jackals of the miscellaneous army quickly fell, they hadn’t even gotten close to the high ground yet, they had lost dozens of people, which made these warriors from the small clans quickly lose their will to fight.

And Governor Popok knew that it couldn’t stop at this time, stopping would be a rout, so it gritted its teeth and took its elite soldiers to carry the duty of attacking.

Players did not expect this wave of monsters brushed out a silver jackal commander of the elite, inadvertently under the jackal pounced on an instant dry death of seven or eight, shocked newcomers screamed, instinctively backward so that the formation is messed up, angry meow brother hated to cut on the spot on a few confuse the military mind of the bastards to the “marching orders”.

But this is already the case, we can only think of remedies.

Fortunately, the first war group in the number of veterans, almost do not need to meow brother reminded, dormitory group of six people towards the gap pounced on, car car and pigeon treasure just right cloud magic and spiritual energy lightning cooperation to the defenders to buy time, after the tiger and leopard riding a few brothers with the sports students holding weapons up to the bayonet after blood, finally managed to stabilize the front line.

“Kill! Damn it, don’t panic! Kill for me!”

Brother Meow Meow kicked the shivering level 1 newbie “Ugly Bull” in the ass, telling him to get up and shoot, while he himself rushed up with his Warmblood Decapitator to kill them one by one.

I have to say, this Black Eyes elite is quite extraordinary, much more powerful than ordinary jackals, if not for the fast reaction of the veterans, this wave will really be rushed to the high ground by them.

“Brother Woo Meow, call for support! We have enough points! Call the Winged Cavalry over to charge a wave!”

Badger, who was in the middle of killing below, turned around and shouted, but was immediately denied by Brother Woo Meow.

“We can still hold our own, we don’t need support! You little fool, save your scores for the next rotation to summon the NPCs! It’s only the second wave of monsters and they’ve brushed out the Silver rank, I just don’t dare to think about what kind of bulls**t will appear in the back.

The intensity will definitely get stronger after that, we simply can’t hold it without NPCs topping us off.”

Brother Woo Meow took down a Jackal Savage Soldier with an axe as he crafted the Bloodwood Tree Seed:

“Come on a few people, follow me to surround and kill that Silver Jackalman! Huh, this one is actually a rare, and has a name, Popok? It doesn’t sound like a proper jackal!”

The battle at Blood Banner Heights ended after twenty minutes.

In fact, when Popok’s elite soldiers were more than half dead or wounded, the morale of the miscellaneous army had collapsed, especially after Popok himself was pestered by Brother Woo Meow himself with his men, the surrounding Jackals began to retreat on their own accord.

The existence of the engagement zone allowed these Jackals to escape some distance before leaving without any problems, though most of the enemies were annihilated under the high ground.

It was another victory, just as glorious as this morning’s, but Brother Woo Meow and the other veteran players who had fought against the Plague Clan in the Battle of the Swamp weren’t as happy as the newcomers.

They knew that these two sets of Jackals weren’t even considered elite, and that the real challenge was yet to come.

But to their surprise, Brother Woo Meow missed this time, and that Silver Jackal escaped from him, making the battle on the high ground not a perfect victory, but Brother Woo Meow himself was not disappointed.

On the contrary, the guy had a strange smile hanging at the corner of his mouth the whole time.

Returning from the dead, Popok would be riding wildly on his own Seat Wolf, he didn’t know why he was alive, it was clear that the mountain man with the axe was very powerful, he almost got himself killed.

But it felt that it was lucky enough, it had been lucky since it was a child.

This thought lasted until after it had completely fled the battlefield, a small man cloaked in a hood suddenly stopped in front of Popok, the guy was supposed to be a jackal, but his short stature didn’t look like a warrior of the Dark Mountains at all.

“Hey, jackal in front, your name is Popok, right? I’m the new patriarch of the Bloodclaw Clan, serving the legendary ‘Sage Wolf’, you can call me Nash, I just saw that ‘wonderful’ battle.

Especially when you left your army behind to escape, it was awesome.”

The smaller man took the initiative to speak up, and tossed a bag of herbs to the bruised and battered Popok.

But Popok didn’t appreciate it, and it chortled:
“What Bloodclaw Clan? What Sage Wolf? Never heard of it! Get out of the way, I have to take the information back.”

“Right! Bring accurate intel back to the district to your chief.”

The shorter jackal reminded:
“Those enemies guarding the Blood Banner are Transylvanians who have killed all the Jackals in their lands, each one a butcher stained with the blood of my people, but they are very powerful, Lord Popok.

You have seen for yourself what they are capable of.

You must ask your superiors to send over the true elite, otherwise it will be difficult to defeat them, and the sooner the better, they are amassing a large army”

“No, they are not powerful at all, they are no match for the Black Plague!”

Popok shouted, leaving Nash in front of him speechless for a moment.

It could only explain:

“No, you cannot say that! If they are not powerful, then how should you, who were defeated by them, explain your defeat? Lord Popok, these Transylvanians are very powerful, which is why you fell into the trap in a moment of inadvertence.

All it takes is for the people above to send their elites, and these bastards who dared to provoke the Black Plague will die a horrible death.

I won’t hide it from you, I’m a jackal from Transylvania, I only came here to look for powerful compatriots to avenge my people, I will provide you with clues about them.

But I do not wish to make my presence known to others.

I am a loser after all, and that is no honor.

If you need intelligence help afterward, then leave a bloodstained stone here and I will show up that night to talk to you, you should go now.

Remember!

Make sure you bring back someone powerful as soon as possible, or these guys will change their guard back in Transylvania, and you don’t want to see your enemies get away with that, do you?”

“Gee whiz, I am the mighty Popok Black Eyes, I don’t need your help at all, don’t teach me how to do things, Nash of Clan Bloodclaw!”

Popok threw down a harsh sentence with a very stiff upper lip, but still took the herb bag that Nash picked up and handed it again, watching Popok leave, Nash’s face was full of contempt.

Treading horse!
Are the jackals of the Dark Mountain Range all brainless?

Do they still need me to teach them how to deceive their superiors and their subordinates? As expected, Lord Hogg was right about these fools, these guys’ brains are filled with muscles, no wonder they failed four times in a row!

Alas, if it wasn’t for the sake of Lord Murphy and Lord Hogg’s big plan to move forward smoothly, if it wasn’t for the sake of his “Chief’s Trial”, and if it wasn’t for the lack of a bait that has some weight to it, I would have let the mighty Mr. Woo Meow cut off this stupid bastard’s head just now!
