Chapter 1204 - Starting a War
Greem might have aided the three Swamp Giants as an ally.
However, when the Ango’rosh ogres had been routed, the Swamp Giants did not behave in a friendly manner towards Greem. If Greem hadn’t shown the Giants the strand of hair that Sage Moat had given him, they might have even have assaulted him.
The stubbornness and inflexibility of the swamp creatures couldn’t be more obvious!
The leader of the three Swamp Giants approached Greem and sniffed the hair as hard as he could. He then spoke in his deep, low voice, “This is the smell of the Swamp Sage. It seems like you are indeed our ally. Speak, runt. How do you intend to deal with these annoying ogres?”
“Attack…of course, I’ll attack them!” Greem had a helpless smile on his face. “The Ango’rosh ogres are helping the sporepeople with their evil deeds. Naturally, we should teach them an unforgettable lesson. What could make them more angry and upset than raiding their home?”
“You want to invade Stonehammer Camp? There are over a thousand Ango’rosh ogres there.” Surprise appeared on the Swamp Giant’s mossy face, but he quickly became excited. “I like you. The Swamp Sage might be smart, but he’s way too hesitant. We should have put together our powers and chased away those evil-doing bastards of the Marsh Wetlands a long time ago! If you really intend to attack the ogres, then count me in. Swamp Giant Angor is willing to follow you!”
“Swamp Giant Korath is willing to follow you.”
“Swamp Giant Korath is willing to follow you.”
“Sickles of flames, contract manifested for the first time; Flamegate!”
A short chant reverberated across the battlefield as an unusual door made of fire appeared before the flame giant. A connection arose between the flame giant’s staff and the Flamegate. Overwhelming fire energy started to surge towards the door.
The Flamegate tore open space and summoned a massive army of fire creatures from the distant Fire Elementium Plane.
The Flamegate opened, and countless fire creatures swarmed forward. Among them were low-grade creatures like fire spirits, flamespirits, fire giants, flame hounds, firebats, and intermediate-grade creatures such as the Blazefire flamespirits, flame giants, molten giants, and fire sprites.
Of course, Greem also saw high-grade fire creatures within the army, such as flame fiends, Fire Lords, and phoenixes.
At the same time, a deep voice rang out in Greem’s mind.
“The quality of your fire energy is very excellent. As an equal exchange, I can temporarily lend you my army of fire. Remember, I couldn’t care less if all the First and Second Grade fire creatures were to die. However, for every Fire Lord that becomes a casualty, you will have to compensate me with a hundred units of fire energy. Do we have a deal?”
Greem’s heart trembled.
He could sense that the individual that had established a connection with his mind was a Fifth Grade Fire Lord at the very least. In truth, at his level, he should be referred to as a Fire King.
Since the Fire King was willing to offer goodwill towards him, Greem naturally had to accept the offer.
They communicated briefly through the Flamegate, exchanged their fire brands, then ceased their communications.
While Greem had been communicating with the Fire King, the swarm of fire creatures had already engaged the Ango’rosh ogres!
