Chapter 286: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand
Bloody Hills.
A large group of barbarians had cold faces and strode silently. No one spoke, and everyone was vigilantly paying attention to the movements nearby. This place has penetrated deep into the territory of the demons.
Because this is the Bloody Hills.
The barbarians were forced to evacuate the Holy Mountain of Arreat. Along the way, countless barbarians fought desperately to save the last blood of the race and blocked the demon army that was chasing them. When they came to this hill, the two sides launched a fierce battle.
According to historical records, at least 150,000 of the more than 200,000 barbarians who survived that year bravely blocked the demons in this hill for the continuation of the race. When the last barbarian died, the hill was completely soaked in blood. It was because of these fearless barbarians that the 40,000 to 50,000 surviving barbarians built a solid city in Harrogath. However, the demons had to retreat to the Arreat Mountains to recuperate and wait for reinforcements to arrive because of heavy losses.
To this day, no one dares to underestimate this hill that was once soaked in blood. It has become a paradise for demons. Countless powerful demon races may tear humans who enter here into pieces at any time.
"Wait."
With a sudden shout, Lan Wu suddenly appeared next to a bush not far in front of the five people of Grela. His appearance did not cause the five people of Grela to subconsciously counterattack. After all, his dignity was too easy to recognize.
"Who is he?" Uta, who followed closely, strode to Grela's side and stared at Lan Wu vigilantly.
"I am your employer." Lan Wu smiled lightly and took the initiative to answer the question for Grela. He looked up and down, and with satisfaction, he took out the third-grade full-rejuvenation potion from the space bag and threw it to Uta.
"This is a deposit. If Will comes back alive, I will give you six more bottles."
As the voice fell, the corners of the eyes of the five people of Grela could not help but twitch. After they and Hurtado's team succeeded, they could get a total of 18 bottles of full-rejuvenation potion. Now he threw out nine more bottles so casually. My God, how many full vitality potions does this guy have?
"Thank you." Uta grabbed the three full vitality potions with his big hand, grinned, and his hostility instantly disappeared. He looked up and down, scratched his bald head with regret: "It's a pity that you are our common employer. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I won't rob you."
Lan Wu couldn't help but smile. In addition to his own willingness, looking at the entire Harrogas, who can stop him from escaping. In a critical situation, when the six small amulets came out, I am afraid that even if all the professionals in Harrogas took action together, at least more than 70% of the people would give their lives to the god of death before leaving him.
"Lan Wu." Will saw Lan Wu from behind and squeezed up excitedly. He really liked Lan Wu. Since he grew up, only Lan Wu gave him no cost.
"Will, go and rest for a while. I have something to discuss with Grela and the others." Lan Wu waved his hand and found an excuse to get the honest boy out of the way. The next arrangement was probably unacceptable to the honest boy. It would be best if there were less things to do.
"Take a break for ten minutes." Grela's eyes were very experienced, knowing that Lan Wu had other plans. Anyway, they had sold their lives to him, so what else could they say. As long as they didn't kill themselves, it would be fine.
"Hurtado, come here." Grela shouted at the back, and then followed Lan Wu and Wuta to the side.
Not long after, Hurtado strode over with a two-handed sword. Seeing Lan Wu was there, he immediately grinned and showed a big white tooth, smiling so hard that his face was wide open: "Boss, just tell me if you have anything to do. I, Hurtado, promise to do it properly for you."
Lan Wu laughed dumbly. This barbarian is an outlier among barbarians. He glanced at Will not far away, and said in a low voice: "I plan to strike first and kill Sisildin in the Bloody Hill."
After the words fell, the frivolous look on Ultado's face instantly disappeared, and his expression became very serious. Not only him, but also Gerrera and Uta looked at Lan Wu solemnly.
"I was blocked by Sisildin." Lan Wu did not hide his murderous intention and said bluntly: "Since he let me escape, I will not be polite to him. Only dead enemies are the best enemies."
Gerrera and the other two were choked. They all knew Sisildin's character, which could be said to be a leader comparable to themselves. Since he was determined to block Lan Wu, he must have made all preparations. But Lan Wu actually escaped, so you can imagine how powerful this weird-looking guy is.
Gerrera was okay, after all, he had witnessed Lan Wu hanging out alone in the World Stone Fortress. But Hurtado and Uta were shocked as if they had seen a ghost.
"Don't doubt my strength." Lan Wu knew that he had to give the three of them another reassurance, and smiled faintly: "As long as I want, destroying half of Harrogas is like playing."
Even Gerrera was stunned. Destroying half of Harrogas, my God, is this something a human can do? Could this guy be a demon instead of a human?
As soon as the thought came to his mind, he heard Lan Wu add another sentence faintly: "I am not a bloodthirsty person. But I don't like trouble either. In order to be able to experience quietly, I don't mind killing the guy who has bad intentions towards me first."
Grera's heart skipped a beat, and he re-examined the strange man in front of him. These words not only expressed his intention to kill Sisildin, but also implicitly warned the three of them not to have any crooked ideas.
Lan Wu saw the change in the expression on Grera's face, and knew that this calm barbarian understood his words. So he threw another bombshell: "Sisildin has set his sights on the title of Rasuk. Will is the opponent he must eliminate. But unfortunately, Will and I have a good relationship. So he has to suffer bad luck."
Grera and the other two looked at each other. Only then did they understand why Sisildin often provoked Will, a barbarian who had no strength at all. Before, he thought he wanted to erase the majesty of the Immortal King among the barbarians, which would make it easier for Elder Hardingson to control the barbarians. Unexpectedly, it was for the title of Rasuk.
"What's your plan?" Grera took the lead in sorting out the clues.
Rasuk is also a barbarian. It's just that this title heir only likes to stay in the shop to make equipment, and even pushed away the position of barbarian elder. Otherwise, with such an elder master, I'm afraid Hardingson would not secretly instruct his son to provoke Will.
In this way, the conspiracy of Hardingson and his son is much clearer. The father and son now control Quarkek. If Sisildin inherits the title of Rasuk, the entire barbarian tribe will be completely controlled by them. At that time, unless they leave Harrogas, the entire Harrogas will no longer accommodate barbarians like themselves who stick to tradition.
In such a short time, Urtado and Uta also figured it out, and they all turned their eyes to Lanwu. The latter smiled confidently and told his plan on the spot.
"First, I will be responsible for finding out their whereabouts..."
