7. Metal Gear Solid: Gilneas [8/20](1/2)

When Blake and his professional team left Tol Barad, in the Fight Club, Queen Mia endured the discomfort in her heart and watched the fighting in front of her.

The good news is that Arugao and Hagasa completed an impossible massacre with two versus eight.

The bad news is that Queen Mia really doesn't feel that she has the ability to command such killers and butchers to overthrow her husband's dark rule and take over Gilneas.

Especially when Arugao and Hagasa were summoned to her box.

Although both the werewolf and the female orc had changed into clean clothes, the bandages on their bodies, the strong smell of blood, and the cold eyes they had become during the constant fighting made the queen very uncomfortable.

She is not a delicate lady.

She had even fought against the orcs in the city of Lordaeron with Genn, but she had no experience of dealing with such a ferocious guy.

Therefore, Queen Mia chose the most direct response method after being silent for more than ten seconds.

She tried hard to maintain her aura as a queen, holding a glass of blood-red wine, sitting on a chair with her legs crossed, and looking at the two guys in front of her.

she says:

"I am Queen Mia Greymane, you both should know me, I have to do something in Gilneas, and I need help. My close friend and collaborator, Lord Black Shaw, recommended you two to me.

..”

These words made Arugao and Hagasa's eyes light up.

Because these two unlucky guys failed in their mission in Gilneas, they have been living almost like hell in the past month.

They also knew that their humiliating defeat made their colleagues in the Immortal Fleet very unhappy with them, so they could only hide in the fight club and be punished, fighting to the death and boxing for a living.

Arugal has completely given up on human form.

Once a mage, he was forced out of all his potential by continuous battles. His werewolf face was covered with scars, which gave him a fierce aura.

And the same goes for the female orc Hagatha beside him.

As a shaman and warlock, she was forced by the brutal battle to completely transform into a dark shaman, and she became more and more proficient in summoning various evil creatures in the "Book of Ur".

But these two guys are also ambitious.

Those who have been able to survive in Black's fleet until now are unlikely to be law-abiding guys. They don't want to sink like this.

They have been waiting for a chance to make a comeback.

And now, the opportunity is right in front of us.

The light in the eyes of these two guys did not hide from Queen Mia's gaze. When she saw the longing eyes, the queen, who was still panicking, suddenly calmed down.

She knew that these two guys' desire for revenge would make them use themselves to their advantage.

Then the queen sneered, put down her glass, and said:

"But after learning about what happened to you two in the past, I began to doubt your abilities. You established the Wolf Cult in Gilneas, which seemed majestic, but was destroyed by my husband overnight...

You don’t seem to be particularly capable people.”

"That was a shameful mistake, Your Majesty, and we will not excuse our foolish failure."

Arugao moved his shoulders and teeth and whispered:

"But my friends and I already know the price of failure. As long as you give us a chance, we will give you a victory. All I need is a chance to prove myself."

"What I'm more curious about is, what do you need us to do for you?"

The orc dark shaman beside the werewolf shadow archmage raised her eyebrows. One of her eyes was blinded in the brutal battle, but this did not destroy her dark deterrence.

The increasingly gloomy and powerful female orc said in a hoarse voice:

"Only by knowing the goal can we serve you better, Your Majesty."

"Goal? Very simple."

Queen Mia moved her neck and pushed her hair.

She took a sip of the strange-tasting blood-red wine in her hand and tried hard to force herself to swallow the unknown ingredients to increase her momentum.

Then, she stood up and said to the two people in front of her:

"I want to overthrow the rule of my mad husband, I want to bring order back to Gilneas, which is now in chaos, and I want to become the first queen in the history of Gilneas.

I have obtained from Black Shaw the plan he carefully planned for me, and I convinced him to help me with all his strength, but I also need to have the power to show off.

After seeing your battle with my own eyes, I have no doubts about your fighting ability.

But what I’m curious about now is, will you be the kind of assistant I need?”

"Are you going to challenge Jean?"

Arugao and Hagasa looked at each other, their three eyes shining with the flames of ecstasy and revenge.

The werewolf whispered:

"You are going to overthrow the mad tyrant who has brought endless shame to us two? You are also assisted by the captain's terrible "dark wisdom"?

Well, this is great."

"We will do our best to serve you, Your Majesty, this is what we have been dreaming about, whether it is a comeback, revenge, or avenging shame."

Female orcs are more direct.

She knelt down on one knee and shouted to Queen Mia:

"As long as you can lead us to defeat damn Jean, we are willing to pay everything for you..."

"Except for loyalty!"

Arugao immediately kicked the female orc companion who spoke so eloquently, and emphasized loudly:

"Our loyalty has long been dedicated to the evil and great Black Shaw and the Undead Fleet! But everything we have left belongs to you, and we are at your disposal."

"Ah, yes, yes."

The female orc also discovered the mistake in her words and hurriedly changed her words:

"Apart from Lord Blackshaw, you are the only queen we serve."

But this answer did not satisfy Queen Mia.

The queen frowned and said:

"Why bother? Black Shaw doesn't need your loyalty, he doesn't care about that stuff at all."

"The captain does not need our loyalty..."

Aru shrugged and whispered:

"But we must be loyal. We, the humble ones, cannot afford the price of betrayal... In fact, the same goes for you, Your Majesty the Queen. As a pirate collaborator, you will understand this in the future.

So, Your Majesty, when will we set off?

I really don’t want to stay in this hell called ‘Fight Club’ for another day.”

"Ouch!"

The low and long howls of wolves echoed one after another in the night that was about to dawn. Under the cover of the dark night, groups of weird and twisted figures ran in groups on the streets and the eaves on both sides.

They are enjoying the freedom brought by the darkness and the release of their beastly nature. This is not a hunt, but the wild beasts "having fun" in the middle of the night.

They looked very happy and enjoyed the feeling of dominating this large ring-shaped city built at the end of the bay.

But for the few ordinary people left in this city, this time of day is definitely the most difficult.

In other kingdoms, civilians should be enjoying sleep and welcoming the morning sun. They must hold weapons in hand and guard their rooms vigilantly, or hide in the cellar of their home with their equally fearful family members.

The family huddled together and shivered, praying to the Holy Light or some other hellish belief, so that the fearful running in the darkness would end quickly, and praying for bright sunshine to take over the sky.

Although they knew very well that the city seemed normal in the daytime, the strangers they passed by might also be one of those monsters.

But at least under the sun, those monsters will put on gentle human faces.

After King Zeon returned to this country a few months ago with his so-called "redemptive power", after returning to this city, it has become a common habit of the residents of the Royal City of Gilneas not to travel at night.

Even naughty children know that once their family goes out at night, it means they may never come back.

Therefore, "going out" has become synonymous with "danger" in the eyes of children.

"Shua"

Blake's figure emerged from the alarming darkness.

He appeared on the eaves of a street in the Royal City of Gilneas not far from the royal palace. He maintained a half-crouched posture at the end of the roof, holding the rubble with claw marks in front of him with his left hand, looking at the palace in the darkness ahead.

A black cloak draped over his shoulders and body, covering most of his body.

This look makes the pirate look cold and professional.

Behind him, Maiev, who also spread her watcher's cloak and silently glided down from high altitude, held a thorn blade wheel in her hand and stood behind the pirate with her back to the pirate.

The two of them formed a standard alternating cover formation when they landed, which shows the exquisite cooperation.

Maiev looked at the city behind her. The noise caused by the monsters running in the dark could not be hidden from the warden's perception.

"This city has been occupied by werewolves. They regard it as their own territory. I don't even need to look carefully. There are at least 300 werewolves active in the six nearby blocks."
