CHAPTER 460: SHAMELESS FISH (2/2)

This time, Mo Ning did not even require any hint from me before she sent him flying away once more. Finally, the world was peaceful once more, except for a fishy scream in the background.

“Come here.” I gestured towards an unhappy Murloc Clanleader in the distance. The more prideful of the two brothers, the Murloc Clanleader wasn’t too happy about being summoned over like that, but because of Zurnalin’s death stares, he had no choice but to comply. Unlike his spineless brother, the Murloc Clanleader was more than happy to glare right back at me.

“Alright, what’s going on with that brother of yours. How did he get so much more annoying in just a few days?”

Hearing that, the Murloc Clanleader couldn’t help but be exasperated as he said, “Zurnalin told us about you so…”

“So…”

“So he thought that by garnering your favor, he can legitimately replace me, or maybe even control the entire Fluorescent Marsh.” At that point, I could detect a hint of resignation in his voice. “You are the holy son of the Dark Elves, after all…:”

“…”

Even though the Murloc Clanleader did not say much, I could already guess the gist of the situation. Zurnalin had told them about me when she was out subjugating the Fluorescent Marsh. Because of that, all the Murlocs knew that the severity of the situation, seeing as attacking a holy son of another religion would often lead to a massacre. Because of that, that shameless potato also had the idea that he could use me to gain more power.

At the same time that she mentioned my identity, Zurnalin also talked about the war that was happening in the south and how they needed fodder for this war. The Murloc Clanleader wasn’t all that happy about this arrangement at the start, but because they couldn’t defeat her Blood Drake Riders, he had no choice but to go along anyway.

Being the smart potato that he was, the Murloc Shaman saw this an opportunity and happily obliged unlike his brother. By showing subservience towards Zurnalin, he was hoping to show his own loyalty towards me as well. To Zurnalin, whatever reason he had was irrelevant, she just wanted the Murlocs’ allegiance.

Originally, the plan was to introduce me to the Murlocs again when the war was over. Yet before it had even started, I ended up appearing before him. That was why he practically leapt at me like a mental fish in order to grasp this opportunity.

In actuality, the Fluorescent Marsh was a massive territory that held more than just those two Murloc tribes. There were all manner of strange creatures living in the marsh and the Murlocs merely formed a small portion of the entire region. But with the help of the Dark Elves, the Undermarsh Murlocs might just be able to conquer the entire Fluorescent Marsh.

Assuming that I gave the word…

Naturally, power wasn’t just the only reason why that Murloc Shaman was trying his hardest to butter me up. He was wooing the affections of a potential mate as well. That potential mate was Lily.

Lily was a mutated mermaid, an offspring of a mermaid and a snake magical beast. Because of her strange looks, she was often despised by the other mermaids. No longer able to endure this mistreatment, she left in search of her father. In the end, she somehow landed up in Fluorescent Marsh.

Is her father here then? Actually, that’s not even important right now. What’s important is to end this battle quickly, then find Nicole after settling the issue with the Half-Elves.

The Murlocs who came to participate numbered close to 5000. Even though this was an impressive showing, the Murlocs themselves weren’t as strong as the Dark Elves or the Half-Elves. Still, a cannon fodder was still a cannon fodder no matter how weak he was.

Lily wasn’t all that impressed by my presence so she merely bowed in my direction before leaving to settle her own matters. She led her own band of Murlocs as well thanks to her strong magicks and the fact that her bloodline was more noble than that of the Murlocs.

(TL: I’m assuming the author is referring to Lily here. Otherwise, her name is Mary…)
