Chapter 116 Reminder

He could no longer call on the power of Slaanes. Slaanes' "corruption" (this word is the most commonly used word in the Southern Church when describing the power of chaos, and Ashu Rufate also has to admit that this word is used appropriately) has reached a limit and a critical point. As long as you take another step forward, as long as you let the indescribable voice of Slaanes sound in your mind again, Ashu Rufate believes that he will surrender to the temptation of Slaanes. His reason and feelings will not be able to resist the temptation of Slaanes, and from then on, kneel at the feet of the prince of entertainment.

He could no longer call on Tsengchi's power. With reason, logic and intuition, he could believe that Tsengchi was laying a big net, just like a spider building his own net between branches. And he was the little bug trapped in the middle of the net. Although on the surface he seemed very safe now and could still act freely in the middle of the net, in fact, every move he took could not be separated from Tsengchi's plan, and every move was within the other party's plan.

The net of heaven and earth has been laid, and the hunter is tightening the rope. For him, the trapped beast trapped in the net, there is not much time and space. If he leans himself on the net at this time, he will be seeking death.

Perhaps the only help he can call for now is the father of the plague. But will the father of the plague really help him? If Nurg is really as legendary and very kind to his believers (although this kindness is unbearable for many people), then he may not feel very good about Ashu Rufate. After all, Ashu Rufate killed one of his favorite children, namely, the immortal master Jacks.

Regardless of Ashu Rufate's true position, at least he caused a significant blow to Nurgre under Tsengchi's banner. In this regard, Nurgre would not like him. As for the reason Nurgre promoted him to the Chaos Lord and gave generous conditions, Ashu Rufate believed that this was a forced choice, or that Slaanes would mediate on the side.

However, Nurgo obviously does not have the tempting power of Slaanes. Perhaps he can talk to the father of the plague and seek his further support?

No, the next moment, Ashu Rufate gave up this idea. What else can the father of the plague give him? Everything he wanted has been promised, and if he was not wrong, the promise made by the gods in person is no more than those divine enlightenment. Divination is already a few other things, and it is basically not fake. Even Tsengchi plays at most words without modifying the promise itself.

As for the next step... Ashu Rufate has inquired about the relevant matters. The gods have not made any prompts for this, but Ashu Rufate has long known what to do. Just as Tsengchi sent him to conquer this swamp, there is only one way to pose a threat to terror. That is, to capture the famous fortress, Rinfeng Castle, which lies in the northern section of Chaos Territory.

Of course, the so-called Linfeng Castle is just a daimyo, or a traditional name. More people are willing to change their name to call it: Blood Fortress.

This is the key to the Blood God Realm. Its significance to the God of Kill is just as the meaning of the swamp to the father of the Plague. If there is any difference between the two sides, it is that the swamp is defensive, while the blood fortress is offensive. This is not that Nurgre did not intend to attack from the swamp and conquer the surrounding areas (such as the Dangerous Peak City), but the swamp place. The terrain for defense is indeed solid, but it is not a good condition for attack. Because the terrain inside the swamp is complex, the army is very difficult to dispatch, and it is far less convenient to mobilize on the grassland outside. Therefore, every time the immortal master retreats, the defense naturally makes people helpless, and they take the initiative but suffer many losses.

Blood Fortress is a stunning castle—no, or one can be borrowed from the word Dwarves, it is a fortress city. It is an ostensibly a huge castle with triple walls, built on the hillside of a tall mountain called "Ring of the World". But its actual function is far more than a defensive castle.

No one knows who the builder of this castle is, but those who have been to this castle (don't be surprised, there are actually not many such people) admit that its architecture is amazing. Although it is not particularly outstanding in details, it is an amazing building overall. Many incredible ideas are reflected in this castle.

Some people believe that the castle was built by the Blood God himself. In the doctrine of the Blood God, if a warrior is not in a state of combat, he must at least prepare for the next battle. Perhaps because of this, the Blood God himself took action to build the castle in the material world. Some people believe that the castle is a projection of the terror castle - the legendary residence of the Blood God - in the material world. Of course, this statement usually comes from the devout believers of the Blood God. Others, especially non-terror believers, believe that the Blood Fortress was just built by a certain ancient race (the greatest possible thing is a forgotten dwarf tribe). However, these builders later became extinct, so the Blood God took the opportunity to occupy the castle.

But no matter which statement, the fact is obvious. If Tsengch had been trying to seize the swamp for a long time (although not very successful), then Slaanes did not try to send believers to challenge the Blood Fortress.

Because blood is to be sprinkled, it is recognized as the most powerful castle in the Chaos Realm. Countless believers of the Blood God were inspired by the power of terror, left their hometown, and finally gathered in this place. The Blood God's most powerful servant was appointed as the commander of the Blood Fortress. The Blood God's army stationed, trained, and taught the teachings of the Blood God, and then fought and killed everywhere in the name of terror, and glorified their masters with blood. It can be said that the Blood Fortress is the most powerful base camp of the Blood God in this material world.

This swamp is Nurg's defense, and its purpose is to prevent foreign forces from invading Nurg's core area. So as long as it can ensure that other evil gods cannot invade, Nurg does not mind handing over the dominance of this swamp. But the Blood Fortress is different. The Blood Castle itself is the core area of ​​terror. The "core area" protected by the Blood Fortress is not so much an object protected by the Blood Fortress, but rather an affiliate of the Blood Fortress - it is similar to the castles and territories of the lords in the south.

Ashrufate talked with many elderly people in the Chaos Tribe about Blood Fortress, especially the military history of this place. What they said was really discouraging. No one could conquer Blood Fortress, and even within a well-documented range, no one could siege this castle. Every Chaos leader with this ambition failed, and was defeated before the siege began, and was defeated by the terrorist corps that took the initiative to attack in the Blood Fortress. Several famous battles took place under the walls of Blood Fortress. Before the siege began, the defenders took the initiative to attack. First, they searched, and then turned into a large-scale massacre.

There is no way to face a pure terrorist legion - it is simply a pure murderous machine, barbaric, ruthless, bloodthirsty and unstoppable. The consequence of every attempt is that blood flows into a river - this is also one of the reasons why the Blood Fortress is named. But there is one tactic that has not been tried yet, that is a real army. An army that can break the ridge of the world!

If he wants to defeat terror, or at least force the blood god to hand over the star cart, Ash Rufate must build such an army. This is why although he is not a believer in Chaos, he must obey the orders of the gods. Because only with the help of the gods can he do this.

"Blood Fortress..." Ashu Rufat repeated the name softly... and then he heard the hurried footsteps outside.

"Sir, emergency." A voice sounded, and someone quickly walked into the tent. Ashu Rufat recognized the person coming in as Flint, his personal guard captain, and a few of the few in the army who were qualified to see him without notice.

Flint stood in front of Ashu Rufat, with a strange look on his face - it seemed a little excited, and there was no. Ashu Rufat nodded and signaled Flint to continue.

"Lord of Chaos...Astiana is dead."

"What?" Asu Ruffatt was a little surprised. As mentioned earlier, he originally thought that Astiana would not die—at least not so soon. "Is the news reliable?"

"There is news..." Flint replied.

The next moment, he felt a dizzy turn. Flint's voice sounded farther and farther away, as if some indescribable force directly invaded his mind, forcibly pulling his mind into an incredible space.

Then he heard Tsengchi's voice - a mechanical voice without emotion. "You have completed my mission, done well...we can start the next step."

"Astiana..." Ashu Rufat suddenly realized something. "You did Astiana's death?"

"Aren't you going to kill him?" Tsengchi asked. "I don't want to waste time - we don't want to waste time. And this way, Astianna's subordinates can join your army more easily. This may be an irrelevant number for the legion you are about to command, but even the smallest help is a help, right?"

Ash Rufate's mind flashed and he realized his stupidity in an instant. No matter how stupid Nurgle was, he would never allow the swamp to fall into Tsengchi's hands. Since the two great gods reached a tacit understanding, this itself means that this risk has disappeared. Otherwise, how could there be an agreement? In other words, from the moment he got Nurgle's recognition, Astianna's death was destined.

The promise that Tsengchi asked him was not used in this place. Then Ashurufate realized that until now, Tsengchi did not explain whether Astiana's death was related to him. Then again, this is the true nature of the Lord of Deceit.

"What happened?" Asu Ruffat asked. Something must have happened, otherwise Tsengchi would not come to him on his own initiative. Tsengchi was a patient spider, and he would not take the initiative to attack until the prey in the net lost the strength to struggle.

"We don't have much time..." Tsengchi said.

"Not much?" Ashu Rufate repeated the word. Why is there too little time? Anyway, Xingke has been captured for more than a year, and it is no different from a few days earlier or later, so Ashu Rufate doesn't feel that he doesn't have much time. Could it be that this refers to the gods? Is this an opportunity to allow him to bargain with Tseki?

"About that woman... or your wife..." Tsengchi said. "Something happened, something you don't want to see. You really don't have much time left. If you continue to delay, things will become more serious and even out of control."
