It turns out that all this is a conspiracy of Tagore's sister.
Just like human society, female lizardmen are not qualified to inherit the position of tribal leader. Unfortunately, the lizardman princess has a deep palace and huge female charm.
Unlike Rabindranath Tagore, who was surrounded by everyone since childhood, the eldest princess is a real genius. She has the wisdom and pride of a royal family, but is not as arrogant and arrogant as ordinary royal families. Therefore, she is unwilling to be used as a fertility machine. The Lizard King was married off as a victim of political marriage.
So she silently cultivated her strength, and at the same time, she selectively grabbed the power of the royal family's subordinates, waiting for the opportunity.
This attack by human adventurers gave the eldest princess a very good excuse and opportunity: through the words of the veterans who supported her, she persuaded the lizardman king to send Tagore to contact the surrounding weak forces.
With Tagore's arrogant character, not to mention that he could not complete this task, even if he could complete it, he would offend many races and add many obstacles to his own future accession to the throne.
Later, the eldest princess's spy among Tagore's cronies led the foolish lizard prince into the cordon of human adventurers.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway, and Tagore was rescued by Lu Xidong and his party, and he was also given a name, becoming a powerful "named monster".
This incident was greatly beyond the eldest princess's expectation, so in order to take a preemptive strike, the eldest princess had to launch a coup in advance. Now the original lizardman king has been imprisoned in the dungeon, and other resisters are being hunted down by the princess's forces.
At this moment, Lu Xidong and his party broke into the lizard people's territory. The sentries guarding here failed to make a sneak attack and were caught by them instead. They had no choice but to tell Lu Xidong and others about the above-mentioned incident. .
"I see." Lu Xidong nodded. In this way, the cause and effect would be clear. It seems that power and status, whether in human society or among monster tribes, are the source of all struggles.
"Ah, Madan, you idiots are attacking our noble royal family with swords like this?" Tagore was so angry that he repeatedly kicked the sentry with his feet.
"Hey, hey, don't be impatient." Lu Xidong reached out and pulled Tagore. After the other person calmed down a little, he asked, "This is an internal matter within your tribe. What are you going to do next?"
Now that the Lizard Princess has seized the opportunity, the troops originally loyal to Tagore and his son may have been controlled by the other party. Lu Xidong wanted to hear Tagore's own opinion. After all, he will rule the tribe in the future, and he must be allowed to do so. growing up.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Like a child, the lizardman prince, who was obviously an adult, squatted there with his head in his hands, muttering to himself at a loss.
"How about we escape?"
"Is this your final conclusion? Are you ignoring your old father and your tribe? Tagore, you really let us down." Lu Xidong sighed and deeply despised the Lizard King's education methods.
"Then what should I do, boss, there are only seven of us now, but my sister has a team of elite lizard warriors..." At this point, Tagore kicked the sentry in the waist, "Hey, how many people does my sister have?"
The sentry groaned and then fainted. It was obvious that Tagore had used too much force, so he turned his attention to the other sentry.
The lizardman sentry was so shocked that he had goosebumps all over his body, and he said in a trembling voice: "Report... to the prince, the eldest princess has three detachments under her, with a total of about 150 people... "
"Well, seven against one hundred and fifty people. Boss, how do you think we should fight?" Tagore spread his hands, thinking that he had nothing to do.
"Well," Lu Xidong didn't expect that there were so many people on the other side, and he hesitated for a moment. He wanted to retreat temporarily and bring all the Goblin warriors and one-horned trolls to fight; The eldest princess's footing was not stable, and she was caught off guard
At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the swamp of Xize Lake in the distance. Listening to the sound, it seemed that there was a fight. Who were the two parties
"It's in the direction of the border guards to prepare for the attack of the fishmen..." Tagore was familiar with the deployment of the lizardmen. He just took a look at the direction and roughly guessed which part had the accident.
"Border Guards? Whose army is it loyal to?" Lu Xidong raised his foot and made preparations to kick the opponent's waist, threatening the sober lizardman sentry.
"Yes... they are a team loyal to the king and prince. The princess's power does not extend that far, and she is afraid of being exposed." The sentry became more honest, thinking that instead of pretending to be loyal to the princess who was far away, it would be better to tell the truth. , suffer less physical pain.
"There is a way." Thinking of the fish people and the border guards, Lu Xidong understood that his side was not alone. As long as the relationship between the monsters was properly balanced, this coup would probably be put down soon, "Ti Well, now you, as the envoy, will go back to Iserlohn to bring reinforcements, and you must go back as soon as possible.”
"Why are you going down? I can protect the master's safety!" The one-horned troll looked around and felt that except for Silva, everyone was less loyal to Lu Xidong than himself. He was a little puzzled by the devil's decision.
"Because you have the fastest pace, and your huge body is also the least flexible in the swamp. Moving in to rescue troops is also your first priority. Stop talking nonsense and go quickly!" At this time, every minute is very important. Importantly, Lu Xidong didn't want to talk nonsense anymore and answered Tire's question directly.
"Oh, my subordinates must move as fast as possible." Now that Lu Xidong has finished his words, the loyal Tier can no longer refute and can only do his best to complete the task. This is the ogre A habit developed by a family over a long period of time.
"Can we kill these two guys?" Lu Xidong pulled Tagore over and asked for his opinion in a low voice.
According to the usual novels, the protagonist will definitely not take the insignificant spies, scouts, and sentries in his eyes when he comes up, and either let them go or take them away, but they will all spare their lives mercifully. Maybe there will be miraculous effects in the later stage.
But for Lu Xidong and others now, these two guys will only become a burden. They will leak information if they are released, and they will be guarded by separate troops. If they escape, they will be surrounded by heavy troops.
Being kind-hearted and soft-hearted was not Lu Xidong's style in this life. He had vowed not to live a useless life anymore. He was asking Tagore for his opinion at this moment, just because he was a member of the other party's tribe, and he did not want to sow the seeds of discord for the future.
"Of course... of course, those who betray their tribe and conspire to rebel should be punished with death." Tagore obviously had not thought about how to deal with the two sentinels. After being stunned for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said the above words.
Lu Xidong nodded, turned around and caught the lizard man by surprise, inserting his long sword into the mouth of the lizard man sentry, killing him instantly without giving him any chance to call out. Then he struck out with another sword, killing the unconscious one.
"Now, we are going there," Lu Xidong said while pointing in the direction of the Xize Lake water.
"Where? That's the territory of the fishmen. They have a feud with us~" Tagore exclaimed, obviously frightened by Lu Xidong's words.
"Yes, this time we are going to rely on the power of the fish-men."
After saying that, Lu Xidong laughed...
