Thin silver threads fell from the sky, and a hazy rain curtain enveloped Weeping Cliff.

After Bloodfang Warlord, another figure walked out of the cave. This was a stooped, hunched-over Gnoll. The hair all over his body was pitch black and without any color, which was obviously different from the other Gnoll with mottled hair.

The priest who believes in Gnoll God--Rotclaw.

Rotclaw priest wielded a white bone staff and walked slowly to Bloodfang Warlord, followed by two Gnoll guards who were silent and followed every step.

They are strong and strong, no less tall than Bloodfang Warlord, and some twisted runes can be vaguely seen between the wet fur.

The silent and steady demeanor of the two guards was completely different from the normal Gnoll.

They were formed by Rotclaw priests who selected warriors from the clan, then held a sacrificial ceremony, and received the blessing of Gnoll God. They have powerful combat power comparable to the same level of ferocious beasts Magic Creature. The price is that they only have a lifespan of ten years, their wisdom becomes stupid, and they lose their desire and skills to reproduce.

Garos noticed the two guards and his eyes narrowed slightly.

They are powerful guards created by the blessing of [Gnoll Guard], Deity.

More than just Gnoll God.

The vast majority of Deity have this kind of "blessing" skill, which creates followers who are only loyal to themselves at the expense of long life, the ability to reproduce offspring, and rationality.

For example, Evil Dragon God's [Evil Dragon Guard].

From breaking out of the shell to becoming an adult, Evil Dragon Guard only needs one year and a hundred years to gain power comparable to the thousand-year-old Primordial Dragon. However, its lifespan is only a little over a hundred years, and it has no other thoughts except being loyal to Evil Dragon God and executing its orders.

The priest can also create the corresponding Divine Guardian, but the price is very high.

The success rate of the ceremony is not high. Behind the two Gnoll guards, there may be dozens or even hundreds of Gnoll lives.

In addition.

Only priests whose faith in Deity reaches a certain level can have this type of skill.

Garos looked at priest Rotclaw and felt a little unhappy.

Deity, the true ruler of all planes and worlds, can change the fate of other creatures with just one thought, causing them to ascend to the clouds or fall into the abyss.

Garos I don't believe in my luck to encounter good things.

He has a habit of thinking about the bad aspects first.

"The priest of Gnoll God. It is absolutely loyal and obeys Deity. Even if I subdue Red-Eye Clan and show a power worthy of following, it is still very likely to treat me in vain and do things that are not good for me in order to please Deity."

A priest related to Deity, Garos cannot feel safe with it.

Sacrifice the dragon in front of you to Deity.

--Maybe, Gnoll priest is thinking like this.

It would be fine if you only have a superficial belief in Deity's priest, but a priest who can create attendant guards is definitely not a shallow believer.

Garos originally thought that the priest Red-Eye Clan was just a person who believed in Deity in order to lead the clan to a better survival in the wilderness, and then obtained some gifted skills.

Looking at it now, the reality is not like this.

Werewolf's Howling Moon Clan doesn't mention this.

Monster clans in the wilderness cannot be expected to have too much knowledge. It is good to be able to recognize the warlords and priests. As for the specific situation of the priests, Howling Moon Clan does not believe in Deity. There is no priest profession in the clan. It is normal to not know about them.

"Priest, priest, priest with a high level of faith."

"Kill it? The inheritance says that there is a small chance that Deity will notice you if you kill the priest. There will be endless troubles, so you can't kill it with your own hands."

Garos thought.

Rotclaw priest stands closer to Bloodfang Warlord.

Like Bloodfang Warlord, it also said slowly and respectfully, with a hoarse voice like sandpaper. "Yeenoghu, noble dragon, we are willing to offer you fine wine and fresh meat to welcome you."

What a strong Hatchling Dragon.

If you sacrifice it to the great Yeenoghu, it will definitely make him happy.

Under the respectful appearance of the priest, it was difficult to control this thought in his heart.

At the same time, Garos looked at Bloodfang Warlord.

This strong Gnoll with thick hair and thick body showed an obvious displeasure on his face when the priest Rotclaw appeared and walked in front of him. He subconsciously bared his fangs, but he didn't say anything.

"Red-Eye Clan's warlord and priest are not on good terms."

Garos started to think about it in his mind.

He is very clear about Bloodfang Warlord's little thoughts.

Because Gnoll is basically like this, thinking that it is cunning and cunning, thinking that it hides its thoughts well, but in fact it has already been exposed to Dragonkin through its trembling ears and twinkling eyes. Their cunning is only superficial, and it is just a little cleverness.

Gnoll likes to follow the dragon.

But if they cannot prove their strength, they will Hunt fail to grow. Hatchling Dragon.

The opposite is true.

As long as you show the power that scares Gnoll, you can easily gain their allegiance.

Almost all Lord Dragons will have a Gnoll family under their command.

Their reproductive efficiency is high and their growth cycle is short. They are like weeds and are cut again and again. In the eyes of Dragonkin, they are good cannon fodder and even food reserves. Their natural reverence and fear for the powerful Dragonkin also give them a different kind of "loyalty".

"Red-Eye Clan, I want your allegiance."

"From today onwards, you will follow my shadow."

Garos stared at Gnoll Warlord and said.

Without thinking, Bloodfang Warlord bowed his head and said, "It is an honor for all Gnoll to serve the great Dragonkin. The meaning of my life is to meet you today and become your dependent."

More Gnoll fell to their knees.

Only the priest and the two Gnoll Guard were still standing abruptly in the drizzle.

"I'm sorry, the priest can only kneel down to the Deity he believes in."

"But please believe that my respect and awe for you are only under the great Yeenoghu."

"Red-Eye Clan desires to follow Dragonkin."

Rotclaw The priest is still respectful.

Bloodfang Warlord's eyes flashed and he said, "Dragon Lord, please come to your loyal Red-Eye Clan. I will take you to patrol your territory and offer you all the treasures hidden in the clan."

As long as Garos lands on the ground.

It will instantly activate its Command Aura as the warlord, strengthen all the jackals Werewolf Warrior, so that they are not afraid of Dragon Might, swarm them, and cooperate with the priest's curse and magic to drag them to the ground for hunting.

Garos was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly grinned.

"Okay, I'll land right now."

After saying that, Garos did not lower his figure. Instead, he flapped his dragon wings and soared into the sky. His figure tore through the rain curtain and drew a red track under the cloudy sky.

Gnoll stood up and raised their heads, their reddish-brown pupils reflected the smaller and smaller figure.

"Did you sense the danger and run away?"

Bloodfang Warlord whispered in his heart.

suddenly.

It heard the screams and hisses, and its expression froze and its breathing became sluggish, as if an invisible hand was holding its heart.

Garos dived and landed, and its huge dragon wings tore through the rain curtain.

The fine scales on his wing membranes clanked, like thousands of sharp swords being unsheathed at the same time, and the rain hit them, exploding into fine mist, and then evaporated into smoke by the high temperature.

Water vapor intertwined with Mars, turning into steam with a hissing sound, swaying behind it like a comet's wake.

As the height decreases and the speed slows down.

Every time the wings vibrate, they no longer emit a harsh scream, but instead produce a dull blast.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

It was like the thunder from the distant mountains was forcefully pulled to the front, announcing the arrival of Garos.
