Chapter 233:
“That Hog Gnawbone is so clever! I thought he would choose that elite barbarian soldier who won four consecutive matches tonight, but he chose that weak guy who was almost killed by the Astral Realm mountain cat. That weak gnoll almost knelt down to Hog when he was taken out of the arena.
He even knows how to win people’s hearts, specifically buying healing potions for him.”
Little Ashina, who had already left the Crimson Citadel with Lumina and was heading towards the Baroness of Shadows’ territory in the approaching dawn, said:
“Hog clearly has his own strategy, although it’s still quite crude and easily seen through, but this guy is really quite smart.”
“He’s learning,” Lumina said. “Learning from you, from everyone he’s seen. He’s been through the process of Lord Murphy recruiting him, so he naturally knows how to recruit his own subordinates.
If I had to guess, Hog probably won’t recruit those elite gladiators until he has his own base. He’s likely to start with the Black Iron gnolls, then recruit elite kobolds, hunting ghouls in the sewers while reorganizing his new clan.
No matter how useless this guy is, he was once a clan leader before.
He’s not as stupid as you think.
And when we left, Hog already had the eagle claw knife with the Blood Rat Gang’s mark, he must have reached some agreement with the cunning Dorothy.
