Chapter 90: The Nakol Family
After leaving the tent, Henry took with him a group of gray dwarf slaves at the camp gate, these dark-skinned, cold-eyed dwarves were a subspecies endemic to the underground. They look like ordinary dwarves, but in order to adapt to the more brutal underground world, they have evolved special abilities such as dark vision, phantom immunity, and paralysis immunity.
These slaves were originally used to build camps, but now that the camps have been built, they are of little use. Elles secretly bought them and sent them back to the city to be cannon fodder for the operation. Binghut kept an eye on the slaves along the way, preventing them from escaping or resisting. The slightest slowness or whispering from the gray dwarf will be whipped with the whip in his hand. Every time she saw the slaves crying and begging for mercy, she would laugh and kick them, and then tease the gray dwarves with some spells that didn't hurt much.
Along the dark and deep underground passages, Henry led his army of slaves forward at a rapid pace. Suddenly, a gray dwarf slave at the front of the line was torn in half by a pair of sharp claws. When Binhutt saw it, he shouted, "It's a dreadclaw!" Get out of the way! With that, he pulled out the two long swords at his waist and rushed over to attack the monster.
Seeing the opportunity, Xenafi unleashed a lightning bolt in front of her, and the white lightning passed through the bodies of several dreadclaws, causing them a lot of damage. Binghut took advantage of this opportunity to launch a frantic attack with a magical weapon made by the dark elves, and he used his long sword to make high-speed piercings, each blow of which could pierce the bodies of these monsters.
The on which the dreaded monsters depended didn't bother Binhutt too much, and soon six or seven monsters were corpses under his sword. Henry's face was a little solemn as he looked at the dark elf warrior's martial arts, there was no doubt that Binghut was the most powerful warrior he had ever seen. His movements and technique are almost identical to Trist's.
"It's really superb combat skills, I believe that there will probably not be a stronger warrior than you in the entire Forest City of Eri. Of course, Xenafi's casting timing is also very good, and I believe that you will have a bright future in the Nakoor family. Henry complimented the two with a smile on his face.
Binhutt wiped the blood off his sword with a cloth and put the weapon back in its scabbard. "Thank you for your compliment, but I'm not the strongest fighter yet. As far as I know, Toulouse, the master of the Third Family, is the number one in the city, destroying three Earth Elemental Golems of underground gnomes in an underground patrol encounter. I've seen that fight with my own eyes, and I'm not going to be able to surpass him as number one for at least thirty years. β
"It's a pity that Toulouse doesn't like his mistress, and I've heard that Mistress Imori has been secretly training a new martial arts master." Xenafi glanced at the gray dwarves around him who were squatting on the ground and shivering.
The surrounding slaves did not take advantage of the chaos just now to escape, and their fear of the dark elves had penetrated deep into their bones. Binghutt regrouped the gray dwarves with a long whip and drove them on, while Henry telepathically asked Delina as he walked, "What's the matter with Toulouse?" With the code of conduct of the Dark Elf nobles, wouldn't it be a great pleasure to have such a powerful warrior in the family? β
It didn't take long for Dai Lina's voice to answer in his head. "As far as I know, Toulouse has a bit of a mental problem, and he wants to take the place of the master mother and become the head of the family. The Mistress of Imory was very strict with him, and if it weren't for the fear of being taken advantage of by other families, she would have sacrificed Toulouse to the goddess a long time ago. β
Henry sighed secretly after hearing this, the social atmosphere of the dark elves was too oppressive. Presumably, this warrior named Toulouse must have been driven insane, and yesterday's whipping from Ellers made him almost go berserk. It is said that the men of the dark elves were beaten every once in a while, in order to cultivate their reverence and obedience to women. He planned to complete the mission and leave here as soon as possible, otherwise sooner or later he would become a crazy mage like the black robe of Helast.
Three days later, the group arrived at a magnificent gate, informed the guards guarding the gate, and Henry and his party entered the city of Ariedlin without any problems. Walking through the gate, he observed the evil city, where a pillar of magical light flashed on the mage tower in the center. It is surrounded by countless intricately carved castles and ornate halls.
As he passed by the Spider Academy, he saw countless giant spiders crawling inside the iron gate, large enough to make people's scalps tingle. After passing through a large group of mushroom umbrellas, the group came to a gate made of pure gold, and a family soldier quickly ran out to open the gate.
Henry walked into the courtyard and left both the slave and Dai Lina where they were, and flew to the platform on the second floor with only Binghut and Xenafi. Pass the arch in the middle of the corridor and stop in front of the ornate bronze door. He knocked the door and said loudly, "Master, Sister Elles has asked me to bring the slaves and helpers you need. β
After a few seconds, a voice came from inside, "Come in, and bring in the helpers hired by Ellers for me to see." β
Heng pushed open the door with force, and Mistress Ikrifuda was sitting in a chair watching the group. He bowed deeply and said, "Master, these two behind me are the helpers of this operation. The man's name was Binghutt, and he was a formidable warrior whom I saw kill at least six Dreadclaw on the way back. This woman's name is Xenafi, and she is a rare warlock. I believe that with their joining, the operation will be very smooth. β
Ikrifuda stood up and walked over to Binghet, who hurriedly bowed his head in a sign of humility. After walking around him twice, the mistress returned to her seat. She glanced at her father-in-waiting, Slugan, who was standing in her place. "I need to test Binghutt's combat power now, so it's up to you to have a duel with him."
Slugan shuddered when he heard this, and he knew that if the description he had just described was true, he would not be able to beat the warrior in front of him. But the order of the master mother must not be disobeyed, and after the last moment, he took a deep breath and drew his long sword and walked to the center of the hall. Binghutt also drew his twin swords and walked over, and the eyes of the two men staring at each other stood silently in place.
Suddenly, Slugan's feet began to exert force, and he quickly performed a series of low-level thrusts with his longsword, and Binghutt immediately began to retreat, and kept blocking with his longsword. Slugan held his breath and tried his best to suppress his opponent, and after a few minutes, he felt that his strength was a little overwhelmed, and Binghutt quickly jumped out of range and burst into his opponent's defense circle from the side.
His two swords swung quickly, forcing Slugan to retreat and defend in a downward motion. Soon Slugan was cornered, and he jumped up on the wall, trying to do a somersault to get out of his situation, but Binghutt didn't give him any chance, one sword cut off his sword-holding hand, and the other stabbed him in the neck.
Slugan fell to the ground with his eyes open, a large amount of blood spurting from his neck and wrists, and Binghutt shook the blood from his sword and retracted the weapon into its sheath. Mistress Ikrifuda stood up and clapped as she said, "Very good duel, it seems that Nalomin is not lying. Now I have appointed you as the new Father-in-Chief and Master of Martial Arts of the family, and I hope that you will serve the family well in this position. β
Binghutt bowed to the mistress. "Thank you very much for your compliment, and it is a great honor to be a part of the Nakoor family."
Mistress Ikrifuda nodded with satisfaction and said to everyone standing beside her, "Now that the people have arrived, let's discuss how to attack the Baisendenog family." β
"Don't worry, Mistress, although Baisende Nog is the third-ranked family, they are not favored by the Queen of God. In particular, Toulouse, the madman, always wanted to replace his mistress as the new ruler of the family. The eldest daughter said Breborena.
The third daughter, Zali, glanced at her sister and immediately retorted: "But Toulouse is still the most powerful warrior in the entire city of Ariedrin, who will deal with him when the time comes?" β
Mistress Ikrifda stretched out her hand to stop the two daughters' quarrel and turned her head to look at the family's new martial arts chief. "Toulouse will leave it to you for a while, and the priest will help when the others have killed them. Can it be done? β
Binghut lowered his head and thought about it for a while before nodding. "Toulouse was very violent in the fight, and I wasn't sure I could beat him, but it's okay to delay a little bit."
After receiving a satisfactory answer, the mistress stood up and looked at her sons and Xenafi. "At the beginning of the battle, you are responsible for storming the prayer hall, remember to kill their priests as quickly as possible. The other priestesses of my family and I will be praying to the goddess here, so let's all go down and prepare now, and when the pillar of light in the mage tower is upgraded again, we will start moving. β
Everyone turned around and left after receiving the order, and as soon as Henry walked out of the door, he was stopped by the eldest sister, who looked Henry up and down carefully. "My dear brother, I have become quite silent since I came back this time, and I remember that you used to be very fond of expressing yourself in meetings like this."
"I felt that my previous behavior was too naΓ―ve, and it was not conducive to the unity of the family. All our actions should be centered on the interests of the family, right? Henry replied with his head bowed.
Bleborena stared at him for a few moments. "It's a good thing when you're mature, but I want you to remember who is an ally and an enemy in this family." With that, she swung the snakehead whip in front of Henry, almost hitting him in the face.
Henry breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Breborena out of sight, and he silently went back to the room that belonged to Nalomin and lay down. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered Eri's Forest City, he was involved in an infighting between the dark elf nobles, and it wouldn't be long before he had to participate in a small war. This kind of battle takes place every few decades in the city of the Dark Elves, with successful families rising up the rankings and losing ones wiped out.
