Chapter 228 The Person Controlled by Revenge

Lance put the matter on the table so directly, and Grindel was a little surprised, but she still shook her head slowly.

"No~"

"Okay, so what are your plans? Where are you going next?" Lance didn't seem to care too much, and instead of continuing to entangle, he took the initiative to change the focus of the topic.

On the contrary, Grindel was a little confused by this, and she gave up with that look in front of her?

But listening to what he said later, he couldn't help but fell silent for a while.

That's right...where can I go?

"If you don't have a precise destination, then what do you want to do?" Lance asked, and he understood what she looked like.

Originally, Lance only knew that the Lushou tribe was attacked, but it was not clear to what extent the tribe had reached.

It was not clear whether she had come to find the witch to send the rescuers back, or if she had no place to seek refuge.

And now Grindel's reaction also confirmed his conjecture, the Deer Head Tribe must have become history, otherwise she wouldn't need to hesitate for so long.

According to Boudica, Lance knows the idea of ​​the barbarians. They value the tribe very much, because only by gathering together as a collective can they survive in the harsh conditions of the mountains.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the barbarians would not leave the tribe and wander alone. Even if they became a mercenary regiment in order to make money, they still had roots, and they were still a collective.

Only Boudica, who was expelled by the tribe, would be exiled. There is also another reason, that is, the tribe is gone, and naturally there is no place to go back, so there is nowhere to go.

That's why Lance dared to say those words, but to test her retreat by retreating.

But now she didn't say a word about the specific situation of the battle, but she revealed the cards in her hand with another sentence.

Now that she has figured out her way out, Lance's attitude is more casual.

"Stay here if you have nowhere to go, Hamlet welcomes you."

"No, I can't stay..." Grindale slowly raised her head to look at Lance, gritted her silver teeth and said in a deep voice, "I want revenge on the Garo tribe!"

The only reason she is alive now is revenge, and she will stop at nothing for it.

"What revenge do you take?"

Lance frowned slightly. He seemed to know what she wanted to do when she came to find the witch. It turned out that she wanted to use the witch's power to take revenge.

It's just that it's obvious that her abilities are not for fighting and killing, and the ability of the Fanglang tribe to slaughter them also shows the gap in strength.

Unless... she wants to be the next witch...

"We have nothing to do with you. You don't need to worry about the rest. As a reward for your extermination of [White Wolf's Claw], I will help you cure the plague for free."

Grindale suddenly said something in his thoughts, as if he had got what he wanted, and planned to end the conversation.

It was only in an instant that Lance's attitude suddenly became tough.

"No! I have to take care of this matter."

This kind of highly professional talent is not a warrior that can be seen everywhere. If she really takes that path, she will lose a talent and gain an extra enemy. No one will detoxify herself next time.

Absolutely not allowed!
"I don't need others to question what I do."

Lance's domineering aroused Grindel's dissatisfaction, and a trace of anger could not help but appear on that gentle face.

She is not a little girl to be manipulated.

Looking at her reaction, Lance knew that he was being too aggressive, but after understanding her purpose, it was easy, so he threw out a strange sentence immediately.

"What if I help you avenge the Gargoyle tribe?"

Grindel was a little speechless when she heard this. She didn't believe what the man said, but she was driven to ask out of her strong desire for revenge.

"How are you going to help me?"

"I will send troops to help you flatten the Gargoyle tribe."

This fluffy sentence aggravated her distrust of Lance. Compared with dealing with this weird lord, she wanted to cure those patients quickly and leave this weird place.

"I've seen your soldiers, they don't even have the ability to enter the mountains."

"Hmph! Those soldiers followed me to suppress bandits and pirates, and protected Hamlet from the beast tide driven by witches. You shouldn't question my strength, let alone my soldiers."

Lance also changed his gentle attitude, and his tone became serious.

Only then did Greendale realize that, yes, this man is not an ordinary lord, otherwise he would not be able to destroy the Claw of the White Wolf and kill the witch.

Greendale has seen the power of Lance, and I am afraid that she can really help her complete her revenge.

"Then what's the price?"

"You." Lance met her eyes, "I will help you avenge, you stay and help me."

Hearing this, Grindale couldn't help but frowned and pondered, and in the end she still wanted to stay by herself. She could always feel Lance's strong will for her...

"When will you send troops?"

"When I pacify Hamlet."

When she heard this, the glimmer of hope in Grindel's heart was extinguished. She knew something about this place from the witch's mouth, and she knew that no matter what, he could not compete with the cult, let alone that even the witch would feel desperate. , not even daring to mention existence.

"you do not believe me?"

Even a fool could see her disappointment, but she seemed calm when faced with doubts from Lance.

Seeing Lance's confident appearance, Greendale couldn't help sighing. Sometimes not knowing anything is happiness, but not everyone can bear the consequences of blind self-confidence.

Just like many people in the tribe didn't think that the Fanglang tribe dared to violate the agreement of all parties to initiate a war.

But the result was also disastrous and unbearable. She was the only one in the entire tribe who escaped, and she was still under the cover of her companions' desperate efforts.

If he knew the horror hidden in his territory, he might be frightened to death directly, which is not something ordinary people can bear.

However, this person rescued herself. Although she didn't want to fall into this quagmire, she still reminded her vaguely out of kindness.

"Witches have never been the biggest threat on this land. A bigger conspiracy is hidden here. If you want to survive, you should find a way to migrate away, or ask the church for help."

"Hmm~ You mean the cult and the evil god?" Lance couldn't help but look amused when he heard this, "How much do you know? Did the witch tell you?"

Surprise appeared on Grindale's face, why did he react as if he knew those things?
But if you really know those things, how dare you stay here?
"Don't look at me with that look, I know what's going on here better than you, than the witch, and everyone else."

Lance just mentioned it, and he didn't want to reveal more before completely taking her down, so he directly brought the topic back to the previous one.

"Actually, no matter whether you join or not, I will eventually wipe out the Gargoyle tribe."

"why?"

"Let me ask you a question, how did the Gargoyle tribe treat the enemy?"

"Slaughter, merciless slaughter, they will kill the men and sacrifice, the old and the weak will be fed to the wolves, and the women will become slaves, and some will..."

Greendale didn't know why Lance asked such a question, but she still said it with a serious face.

Even in the cruel and savage mountains, the wolf-eating punishment of the wolf tribe can be regarded as vicious.

However, in order to let her escape, the tribe directly resorted to the method of dying together. I am afraid that there will be no living people in the tribe except her.

To some extent, it is true that there is no need to suffer more pain, but the pain is all accumulated on her body...

"Isn't that right? If I kill the white wolf's claws and kill the wolf, even if I don't look for him, they will look for me for revenge.

Similarly, the White Wolf's Claw is a subsidiary of the tribe, and the wolf led the White Wolf's Claw mercenary group to attack Hamlet. Isn't that the attack launched by the Gargoyle tribe?
It stands to reason that I am a victim of the attack of the Garo tribe just like you. They have killed so many people of me, and I will not let them go.

So my interests are the same as yours, and I can rest assured only when the Gargoyle tribe disappears. "

Lance directly stated the pros and cons, and at the same time used the wolf tribe's infringement on them to draw the relationship between the two closer.

It is undeniable that these words really moved Greendale, and their interests are indeed the same.

Seeing that she was beginning to shake Lance, he didn't continue to strike while the iron was hot. On the contrary, he opened his mouth to cool down and explained his difficulties.

"But you should know that if those cults are not resolved, the whole world will be reduced to nothingness in the end, and revenge will be meaningless, which is why I choose to solve the most serious problems in front of me first.

Similarly, Hamlet is still too weak now, and needs more development to grow up, and a stronger army can complete the extermination of the Gargoyle tribe. "

Sure enough, Grindel felt dissatisfied after hearing this, and now only the monstrous hatred supported her to survive.

Every time I close my eyes, I can see the scenes of familiar clansmen being brutally killed, and there are endless wailing and screams in my ears.

Intense hatred is a double-edged sword. This state supports her to escape from the mountains, but it also makes her exhausted, and she has been tortured a little crazy.

Lance could guess what she was thinking, but she just wanted revenge as soon as possible, and if the enemy lived a second longer, it would be torture to her.

But Lance has his own plan, and it is impossible to let go of more important things for her. It must be clear that getting rid of the ancestor is the first priority, and everything else must give way.

But Lance must still be reluctant to let Grindel go. What he said was just bargaining.

"Five years, during these five years you help me do things, I protect you, provide you with resources, and give you wages.

If I don't solve Hamlet's problem within five years, then I will allow you to rent my soldiers, and I will give you all the weapons, equipment, logistics and food at the cost price, and you can take revenge yourself. "

If you directly say five years, she will definitely not agree, and even if she agrees in the end, it will be cut to two or three years.

But if you say an inaccurate time, drag out various reasons, and give another five years, then her psychological acceptance will be much better.

Grindel did not refuse outright, but was thinking about the conditions given by Lance.

Five years to improve one's strength, coupled with a team of well-equipped soldiers, may really be able to take revenge.

"Apart from me, do you think you can find a second person to help you avenge you? They don't have any hatred with the Gargoyle tribe, so why waste manpower and material resources to help you?
Not to mention that you are still a barbarian, you can ask Boudica yourself how you are treated in the empire, they will definitely not value you as much as I do. "

Lance continued to encourage her, and in fact, Grindale was really moved. Although she was a barbarian in the mountains, she also knew that the empire's discrimination against barbarians was deep in her bones.

Even the serfs who couldn't even get enough to eat looked down on the barbarians. She had a deep understanding of this and didn't need to ask others.

but……

Grindel looked at Lance with distrust on her face.

The imperial people look down on the barbarians, and the barbarians also don't trust the imperial people.

Not to mention that things here are not that simple. Whether the territory still exists in five years is a question mark.

And I have been trapped here for five years, let alone what will happen to the Fanglang tribe in the mountains?

According to that exaggerated attack, I am afraid that it will grow rapidly. How can I defeat it by then?

"How can you guarantee that the territory will be enough to support a war after five years? How can you guarantee that the promise will be fulfilled after five years?"

The meaning of these words is very simple, that is, Grindel does not believe that Lance has this strength.

Faced with doubts, Lance said a word confidently.

"When I took over the territory, Hamlet was plundered and massacred by bandits, leaving less than 800 old, weak, women and children, a broken town, famine townspeople, and enemies attached to the mayor and farmers.

It has only been three months until now, the internal and external areas have been pacified, land and sea transportation has been opened up, and urban construction has been promoted. The number of residents in the territory has increased from 5000 to more than [-], and the number of soldiers has increased from [-] to nearly [-]. Everyone can eat and wear warm clothes.

You can inquire about these things casually, and you can also see these things. I can lie to you, but the truth will not. "

Grindel is not the kind of barbarian warrior who only knows how to fight in the tribe. As a witch, she is trained as the next priest, that is, the actual manager of the tribe. Naturally, she knows what Lance said. strength.

To be able to achieve this level in three months can no longer be simply described as a genius.

Grindel recalled that the townspeople she saw when she first came in, all of them were indeed very respectful, not pretending, but sincere.

Not to mention that as soon as he came back, he cleared away the tension and depression caused by the witch. When she was treating those soldiers, she could feel the soldier's determination to die for this man. Absolutely impossible to be an idiot.

"It's normal for you not to believe me. I can understand. You don't need to rush to make a decision. Anyway, there is still some time before the treatment is completed. You can take a walk around the town these days. By then, you still don't want to stay. I will not embarrass you, we are still friends, and Hamlet always welcomes you."
