My Players Are So Fierce

Chapter 2859 -953: Wise Wolf’s Blueprint for the Future · Nash’s New Mission_3

Hog encouraged:

“As small folks, we should not pursue power, that is not something we should crave. We must make good use of the power of wisdom. As for this time going to Shadow Valley to persuade the old, weak, women, and children to surrender, it is the ultimate test of your wisdom.

You might die miserably under the sharp blades of those fierce Barbarian Soldiers.

But if you return to our Ancestral land with the strength entrusted to you by Sir Huggesen, then no one would dare question your authority.”

“But those people cannot be brought back to the Polluted Swamp, Wise Wolf Lord.”

Nash promptly said, drawing from one fact to infer another:

“Although Governor Morphy harbors goodwill toward us, the existence of over a hundred thousand Wolf People in the Polluted Swamp will make the local Transia People and northerners feel threatened.

Our strength in the Polluted Swamp must not be too strong, just enough to contend with the Goat Man, I will send them to your place, and you will need to build cities for the Kingdom of Jackal people, you will need a lot of labor.

The Transia People punish criminals through labor reform, perhaps we should also learn this advanced model.

Steady, down-to-earth labor can pull our people away from savagery. When one day in the future, we Wolf People can sustain ourselves through farming and herding, the Black Disaster will truly vanish into history.”

“Hmm, very good.”

There was a bit of hesitation in Hog’s voice.

This Nash has grasped the idea way too fast.

These were supposed to be his words of advice, yet it understood them without being taught, damn, this guy has considered every angle and plan so thoroughly, how is he, as a leader, supposed to showcase his ‘flawless strategy’ in front of him?

Ah, having overly capable subordinates isn’t entirely a good thing either.

But before Hog could rack his brains and continue to offer a few tips, the piercing, highly penetrative crying of the Wolf People pups rang out from his side, prompting Hog to sigh, saying:

“You go ahead with your work, I’ll go check on those two pups, they truly have an appetite befitting their lineage.”

“But you haven’t told me, whose pups are they?”

Having resolved the confusion in his heart, Nash also developed a gossipy interest, he asked:

“Could it be offspring you inherited from other Wolf People? Worthy of your personal care, it seems they have an extraordinary origin.”

“There’s no harm in telling you, but you must keep your mouth shut.”

Hog was silent for a few moments, then said:

“These are Huggesen’s posthumous children, Lady Nanaque of the Black Eye Clan’s kids, who should have been raised by Nanaque personally. But that infatuated person, upon learning of Huggesen’s demise, was so stricken with grief she’s still recuperating.”

“Ah! Huggesen’s children?”

Nash was shocked, he exclaimed:

“Then you should strangle them immediately! Drown them in a chamber pot! Lord Hog, you can’t be foolish, Huggesen died at the hands of the Transia People, executed personally by Sir Morphy, once these two pups find out, they will surely cause trouble in the future.

You’re creating trouble for yourself.”

“No, you don’t understand, Nash, you don’t know the heavy price Huggesen paid for our clansmen. Everyone can insult and despise him, but not the Wolf People!”

Hog solemnly recounted the deeply hidden stories of Huggesen to Nash.

Amidst the crying of the two Wolf People pups, Nash listened to the whole story and fell into a long silence.

He had met Huggesen once, and almost got choked to death by him. Even then, he felt Huggesen was different from other Wolf People, especially the way he carefully put away Lord Hog’s thesis. He had never thought such a God’s Chosen, who led the Army of Dark Disaster to invade Transylvania, could be such a complex figure.

The story was so bizarre that Nash couldn’t digest it all at once, but then, an idea popped into his clever mind.

He said to Hog:

“Before I knew these things, I had a fifty percent chance of persuading the Split Claw Clan remnants, but now, I have at least a ninety percent chance. The deeds of heroes are always so moving, I will accomplish this task, Lord Hog.

Even if it’s just to ensure that Sir Huggesen’s noble sacrifice is not wasted, I will do my utmost to complete it.

I will erect a statue for him in Wolf Castle…”

“Hmm, sculpt it into the image of a Sage holding a scroll.”

Hog said with a sigh:

“If it weren’t for this damn Black Disaster, if it weren’t for the catastrophe a thousand years ago, perhaps that would have been the life Huggesen should have had, a life where he’d stand tall as a human, but the Evil God turned him into a ghost, it’s a memorial but also a warning!

To let all the Wolf People who know his story understand how difficult this victory was, and how heavy the future we have retrieved is.

Once these two children grow up, I will send them over to your side, to let them grow up in a civilized world, their father sacrificed everything for his clansmen, they must also contribute their strength to the Wolf People civilization.

Just like us, the generation that has barely crawled out of the mire.”
