Valon: Even a supporting character can change his fate.
Chapter 647 Comeback
Seeing that the other party had been successfully intimidated by him, Wolfe spoke again, "I know your strength. To tell you the truth, before looking for you, I have already contacted two other jungle troll tribes and one ogre tribe.
They have agreed to attack the Kingdom Army from the side while we are fighting them. You can definitely go with them. I think you will be more courageous with more people."
Seeing that the other party did not speak, Wolfe continued, "Of course, I will not let you work in vain. As long as you kill the Kingdom Army, both the bodies and the equipment will belong to you. And the food in the two trucks behind me, as long as you agree, they will be yours."
Don't be fooled by the appearance of these jungle trolls, who are tall and strong and extremely ferocious. In fact, they are a group of raw meat and blood-drinking guys with low productivity.
If it weren't for some wisdom, it would have become a beast.
Just these two carts of food are enough to feed them for a long time.
Of course, when Wolfe left, he naturally didn't have enough food for two carts. However, before coming here, Wolfe had already visited two other jungle troll tribes, and with his eloquent tongue, he successfully persuaded them to launch a sneak attack from one side during the battle.
A jungle troll tribe consists of only about thirty people, which may not play a big role when deployed on the battlefield. If the three tribes are added together, the number would be at least around a hundred. In addition, the jungle trolls have physical fitness that exceeds that of ordinary humans, so they can definitely be considered a surprise force if used well.
The jungle trolls still had to waste some words and food, but in comparison, the ogre tribe was much simpler. Wolf simply pulled half a cart of raw meat and promised them during the negotiations that all the human corpses they killed in battle would be theirs.
These big, stupid guys who only had brute force agreed without even thinking.
If you want to talk about the number of people in the ogre tribe, I'm sorry, their number is even smaller than that of the jungle trolls. There are only five or six in a tribe, and it can't even be called a tribe.
Five or six people were crowded in a cave, and except when they went out hunting, they spent the rest of their time sleeping.
Wolfe's wooing continues.
On the other side, the adjutant traveled all the way, day and night, and finally brought the news back to the royal capital.
At this time in the royal capital, the king and other royal family members were still waiting for news of the army's triumphant return.
After all, in their opinion, sending the kingdom's most elite troops to destroy the little undead was like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken. Lose? How did they lose?
However, the news brought back by the adjutant was like a thunderclap, and the king and his ministers instantly lost their composure.
Among these ministers were members of the royal family as well as local nobles. The dispatch of elite troops to eliminate the so-called undead had already caused dissatisfaction among many nobles.
In their view, there had been no trace of the undead in the kingdom for many years, and even if they existed now, they would certainly not be that strong. Sending the kingdom's most elite troops was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. Wasn't this an obvious way of gaining merit?
Now the adjutant who escaped back said that those undead were not only very powerful, they occupied several towns, but also defeated and besieged the kingdom's most elite troops. This sounded a bit magical.
No matter how shocked you are, it has already happened and now it's time to think about what to do.
There were many smart people present, and they quickly realized that these undead spirits had evil intentions.
According to the adjutant, that elite troop was besieged rather than destroyed, and Thorn, one of them, was a member of the royal family. In this case, the kingdom had to send troops no matter what, whether it was to exterminate the undead or to save this elite troop.
Although the king is already quite old, with a head full of white hair and wrinkles on his face that could kill a fly, as the saying goes, if an old man does not die, he will turn into a demon. The old king can naturally see all this very clearly.
But now he knew clearly that there was a fire pit in front of him, and he had no choice but to jump in without hesitation.
After all, the undead only wanted his life, but these nobles were plotting something evil and wanted both his life and his kingdom.
This elite force is an important force in suppressing the nobles. Without them, these nobles who have been ready to make moves would immediately rise up in rebellion, without even the need for the undead to take action.
Thus, under the king's strong leadership, another kingdom army was quickly formed, but compared to the beginning, the number of people increased sharply from the original 300 to a terrifying 1,300.
Of course, if it was just the royal family’s own army, there would definitely not be that many people. The royal army had only 500 people, and 300 of them were farmers and civilians forcibly recruited from the surrounding areas. They were given weapons and joined as temporary troops.
The remaining 500 people were private soldiers sent by various nobles.
These private soldiers are definitely not as strong as the royal army in terms of combat effectiveness. The old king naturally knows this, but he has to do this.
Firstly, in order to protect his own position, he could not send out all the kingdom's troops. He had to leave a part of them to protect the capital and himself.
Secondly, it was also to weaken the power of the nobles.
The first expedition failed. No matter what, those 300 people must have suffered heavy losses. Since the kingdom army suffered losses, the nobles can't expect to have an easy time either. How can this delicate relationship be balanced without some bloodshed?
The nobles were naturally aware of this, knowing that the people they sent out would definitely be pushed to the front of the team and used as cannon fodder to resist the direct pressure from the undead.
However, in the current situation, the kingdom’s army has not yet set out, and the royal family still has some strength, so it is not to the point of fighting to the death with them.
But it is impossible to ask the nobles to bring out their real elites. It is no exaggeration to say that those who joined the kingdom's army are all old, weak, sick and disabled. The nobles pushed them out and never thought that they could come back.
This is true.
At this time, the Lich had already captured several human towns in succession, transforming all the people in the towns into skeleton soldiers and ghouls.
At first, the kingdom's army wanted to bypass these towns and go straight to the core of the undead. However, they only bypassed one town and were attacked from both sides at the second town. It took a lot of effort to eliminate the undead on both sides.
With this energy, the troops no longer dared to go around the city, but pulled out the towns occupied by the undead in front of them one by one, like pulling out nails.
Fortunately, they brought large siege equipment this time. Facing a town guarded only by skeletons, they were able to easily smash a gap in the city wall. Then the army rushed forward, and the skeleton soldiers could not resist at all and were quickly wiped out.
Among these armies, the royal army wore complete armor, and the soldiers sent by the nobles, even if they were just cannon fodder, also wore a small amount of iron protective gear. Only the peasants who were temporarily captured were given a weapon and became militia.
These militiamen were the only ones who suffered casualties at the hands of the Skeleton Soldiers.
