Chapter 2355: Chapter 1051: Descent of Gaven God (Part 2)

We don’t need too many; just more than ten of these weapons will not only annihilate the Jackalwere Queen but also likely ensure the Half-Beast Giant Troll Wuerkrna cannot escape.

"Begin the operation," Katherine directly ordered.

"I’ve already instructed someone to prepare food. It’s late; ma’am, you might as well eat and drink your fill, rest for a night, and act tomorrow," Blood Claw awkwardly suggested.

The Hobgoblins didn’t have this custom, but Humans did.

Katherine shook her head and refused, "Speed is of the essence in military operations; I have a lot of preparation work to do, so let’s not worry about these rituals and ceremonies. You should also start your actions quickly."

She then took out a Skeleton scepter, identical in color and shape to the one Blood Claw held.

A scarlet glow spread, and the next moment, Katherine vanished without a trace.

The unique sound of an energy surge came from above, heading rapidly toward the northwest, the direction of Colossus City.

Katherine’s visit wasn’t just for military purposes but also for inspection, to check on the development of these two cities.

Also, to familiarize herself with this brand-new tactical weapon; only by understanding it well could she use it flexibly in real combat and military strategy.

As Katherine left, Blood Claw swiftly initiated his actions.

He didn’t use a Shadow Flyer like Katherine but instead activated his soul-binding ability. A scarlet light shot out from the Skeleton scepter, landing directly on the Shadow Flyer above.

The next second, the scarlet light returned, and at the once-empty top of the Skeleton scepter, a miniature Shadow Flying Device appeared, though made of bone, exuding an indescribable eerie beauty.

Looking at the Cloud Manta-shaped design of the mini Shadow Flying Device, Blood Claw couldn’t help but wonder, could this thing have been made from the bones of a Cloud Manta’s skeleton?

Though this speculation wasn’t quite right, it wasn’t far off either.

Blood Claw didn’t dwell on this question; it’s not something he could achieve in this lifetime anyway. As long as he had something to use, he believed that by steadfastly following in Gaven’s footsteps, such equipment would only become more numerous and more powerful.

Solemnly putting away the Skeleton scepter, he took large strides toward Gaven’s Road Idol. Within a short kilometer, like streams converging into a river, fully armed Hobgoblin Giants emerged, gathering behind Blood Claw.

"General, what is the purpose of the lady’s visit this time? Is it related to the previous crackdown and security orders? Are we going to war?"

"General, who is this war’s target? The Jackalwere Queen Charoma? Or the Half-Beast Giant Troll Wuerkrna?"

"General..."

The Blood Oath Warlord asked eagerly, a barely concealable longing for war on his stern and ugly face.

Though a comfortable life was pleasant, what could be more exhilarating than war?

Hobgoblins were reputed to be the best monster troops in the wilderness, favored by those monster tyrants for a reason.

The desire for expansion ran in their bones.

As the saying goes, Hobgoblins are either in war or on the path to war.

In the eyes of Blood Gorge City’s Hobgoblins, they had recuperated for too long; their bones started to itch, their swords and shields began to rust, yearning to cleave open the enemy’s head, to make achievements, to gain more powerful strength, and more merits.

After Katherine’s personal visit, big and small Hobgoblin officers in Blood Gorge City naturally came upon hearing the news.

Blood Claw didn’t answer the Hobgoblin officers’ questions, instead silently walking to the Road Idol, caressing the surface of a massive Warhammer, and kneeling on one knee.

The Hobgoblin Warlords behind him dared not slack off, hurriedly kneeling as well.

The Great Power Maglubiyet controlled their souls after death, but their current existence was ruled by General Gaven, all they had granted by him; he was an invincible general, destined to lead them to unprecedented glory.

Gaven’s influence in Blood Gorge City hadn’t waned due to his lack of direct control; on the contrary, it intensified with his continual creation of remarkable military achievements.

Hobgoblins naturally revered power and martial prowess; those who could win on the battlefield easily garnered their respect and recognition.

Gaven almost seemed synonymous with war and victory; wherever he went, war would follow, and the flag of victory would be planted.

As time passed, Gaven’s mortal side gradually faded from the Hobgoblins’ hearts, replaced by that of an omnipotent true god.

Blood Claw, knowing full well the Hobgoblins’ nature and keenly adept at leveraging this trait, solemnly declared, "The great Conqueror, the Founder of Blood Gorge City, the Forger of the Path, General Gaven has sent an oracle. He said it’s time to go to war, and he will bless us to achieve ultimate victory in the war."

The Road Idol flickered slightly, amplifying Blood Claw’s words, spreading instantly throughout Blood Gorge City, reaching every Hobgoblin’s ears.

The Road Idol’s function was not limited to just the paths; it had various magical effects, serving as a medium of faith. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

For this, Blood Claw was well practiced, clearly not the first time using this ability.

"To war! To war! To war!"
