All-Professional Master of Darkness - Chapter 409
c409 Nordink’s ambition
“Hurry, Qualkek and the others are in front!”
Nodink strode to the front of the team with a huge axe on his shoulder, his face full of arrogance. Although he was once a member of the barbarian tribe, he has now abandoned this identity and is just Hardinson’s right-hand man and the deputy city lord of New Harrogath.
The team of more than 2,000 people hurried along the way and gradually formed a long dragon. Under the dark night, torches were winding and circling, spreading on the cold land of the Arreat Plateau, like a giant snake.
“Stop!” Nodink estimated that it was about this distance, but he didn’t hear any fighting. He immediately felt something was wrong and raised his hand to signal the team to stop.
The people behind gradually gathered. Nodink was very puzzled. According to Hardinson’s plan, it is estimated that Qualkek and other elite barbarians will be led to the vicinity here. But there was silence in front of him. Except for the rapid panting sound of the team due to the rush, there was no other movement.
“Send a few people to the front to take a look.” Nordink was able to become Hardinson’s deputy, not only because of his strong strength, but also because of his cautious heart under his rough appearance.
Several assassins quickly walked out of the team and soon disappeared under the thick night. About ten minutes later, a few lights suddenly flashed in the distance. Nordink’s eyes lit up and he immediately called the team to rush over.
When they got there, the assassins who went to investigate were like wooden sticks and gathered in a circle. Nordink strode forward, impatiently pushed away the assassin who was blocking him, and with a glance, he felt relieved.
There was indeed a battle here.
Nordink’s eyes swept over the traces of battle left on the ground, and he gradually felt something was wrong. In addition to a few footprints deeply sunk into the ground nearby, the only abnormality was that the area within a radius of ten meters seemed to have been turned over. The stones underground were all turned out.
What skill caused this trace?
Nordink was a little panicked. After searching his memory, he still couldn’t find out which profession’s skills could cause such an effect. Fear of the unknown is an innate instinct of human beings. He quickly called others to come and guess together.
“It seems to be affected by some kind of shock. Is it caused by the mage’s skills?” A druid stroked his chin and said thoughtfully.
“No, whether it is an ice mage, a fire mage, or an electric mage, it is impossible to cause such an effect.” Immediately, a mage stood up to refute: “It looks like a pure power skill. I guess it is mostly caused by the skill of the paladin.”
This mage is very discerning. Knowing that Nodink is a barbarian, he decisively put the blame on the paladin. The paladin’s level 30 ultimate move, Heaven’s Fist, may cause such a shock.
“Impossible, the paladin does not have such a pure power skill. Even if it is Heaven’s Fist, there should be holy light remaining nearby. But I didn’t find anything.” The paladin was of course unwilling to take the blame, and soon someone jumped out to refute.
Now everyone knows it well. There are loopholes in the plan, so it cannot be perfectly achieved. When we return to New Harrogath, someone will inevitably be used as a scapegoat. What? You said you are the one who is carrying out the mission, and you have no control over what secret techniques Quarkek and his men have used? Come on, don’t find a scapegoat, but let the city lord take the blame?
For a while, the crowd was excited. Each profession tried every means to exclude the possibility of their own profession. Necromancers, Amazons, assassins and other professions were happy to make a fuss and muddy the water. No matter how they discussed, they would not involve themselves.
“Enough.” Nottink was not stupid. He knew that his subordinates were discussing on the surface, but in fact they were trying to make others take the blame. He was helpless. Hardingson was such a conceited person, and he would definitely find a scapegoat among these people afterwards.
“Are there any other discoveries nearby?” Nottink shouted with a gloomy face.
“Lord Nottink, there are a few footprints here.” Someone shouted over there soon.
Nottink separated the crowd and strode over. When they got there and looked down, they saw that there were indeed a few shallow footprints on the ground extending all the way to the distance.
“Let’s go.”
The group set off again and followed the footprints. Not long after, they arrived at the place where Hardinson died. Nordink had good eyesight and could see the appearance of the chopped head under the night sky from a distance. Who else could it be but Hardinson.
Nordink was panicked. He had never thought that Hardinson would die in such a place. He hurriedly quickened his pace. When he got closer and took a closer look, his heart sank.
It was indeed Hardinson.
At this time, other people also discovered Hardinson’s death. The team suddenly became panicked. New Harrogas can be said to be a city completely supported by Hardinson alone. Hardinson is the spiritual pillar in their hearts. But now the spiritual pillar has been beheaded.
Someone in the team cried in panic. The atmosphere of despair permeated the team. No one knew what to do in the future. No one could come forward to give an answer as to where New Harrogas would go. Everyone seemed to have foreseen the end of the collapse of New Harrogas.
Nodding was also at a loss at this time, with a look of despair on his face.
Hadinson became very paranoid after losing his only son and suffering a great disaster. The racial integration he advocated had completely changed after several years of development. Under his advocacy, anyone could have a super-friendly relationship with the target of their choice. No one could stop him. It can be said that he was the one who made him successful and the one who made him fail.
New Harrogath has a strong appeal because of such a corrupt and degenerate environment. The professionals and civilians who were reborn after the disaster gradually changed their outlook on life, became extremely corrupt, and were loyal to Hardinson. But precisely because of this, all professionals and civilians who still have conscience and correct views firmly resist the annexation and expansion of New Harrogath.
Now that Hardinson is dead, even Nordink cannot guarantee that he can take over New Harrogas smoothly.
After a long time, Nordink regained his composure. At this time, he suddenly realized that this was a huge opportunity for him. New Harrogath is now leaderless. If New Harrogath can be controlled, then the Arreat Plateau and even the whole world will surrender under their feet in the future. His heart suddenly became hot.
“Hardinson, don’t blame me for changing your plan.” Nodink raised the corner of his mouth ferociously, and immediately shouted loudly: “Brothers, those damn barbarians killed Lord Hardinson. We want revenge. Let them Women in our **** make the babies born by women our slaves!”
“Ula!” Everyone’s eyes turned red and they were breathing heavily. **IAN The image of those women letting their children become their slaves is so delightful.
With just a few words, Nordink successfully stirred up the darkness in everyone’s hearts and successfully accepted their allegiance. Seeing that the first step was effective, Noordink no longer hesitated and asked two people to take Hardinson’s body, pointed in the direction of New Harrogas, and roared: “Go back with me and tell them Lord Hardinson’s body.” Death news. We want revenge. Those barbarians only deserve to be used as tools for our venting!”
“Revenge! Revenge!”
The slogans echoed under the night for a long time. A long dragon made of torches meandered across the cold earth, extending all the way into the distance.
