Chapter 146: The Tragedy of Centaurs
Centaurs belong to the most fertile and abundant subhuman race, which can be found everywhere on the continent of Dota. www.biquge.info There are male clans, female clans, and ordinary clans where men and women live together. Almost more than ninety percent of centaurs live by raiding and living a primitive and wild life.
The belligerent nature of centaurs is known throughout the continent, not only with ogres, but also with almost all intelligent races, and even the centaur tribes often break out into extremely tragic wars. However, in the vast and abundant Haishiwan rainforest, there is only one kind of centaur, and that is the Amazon centaur, known as the most ferocious and warlike female clan in the Dota Continent.
For the subhuman bandit tribe who usually hide in the rainforest of Haishiwan, the recent days have been getting more and more difficult, and the size of the caravan in Tideport is getting bigger and bigger, and the number of bodyguards hired to escort is almost comparable to a small army. The average bandit clan will pay a great price even if they attack and win in the end, and the main combat force, the adult people, often suffer heavy casualties, and in the complex and cruel environment of the rainforest, the number of adult people is equivalent to the entire life force of the tribe, and the reduction of the tribe's strength is often the precursor to eventual destruction.
It's okay to say that those who are omnivorous and have strong survival and fertility, such as goblins, trolls, and half-fishmen...... Even if they don't raid caravans, they can rely on the natural resources of the rainforest to feed themselves, and most importantly, no one is interested in them. But for a natural warrior population like the Amazon centaur, the situation is so bad that the population is in danger of extinction.
The Black Hand Ogre and the Amazon Centaur are natural rivals, though. But in fact, it is also complementary to each other, and it is precisely because of the combination of the terrifying and fierce black hand ogre and the fast and deadly long-range killer Amazon Centaur that no one dares to set foot in the rainforest easily. But since the fairy tale circus came out of the sky, overnight exterminated the black hand ogre village with a danger level comparable to the dragon's nest, and completely broke the myth that there is no entry and exit in the rainforest, since then, a large number of adventurers and slave hunters have begun to drive into the rainforest in waves, even if more than ninety percent of them have gone and never returned. But by chance, it was favored by the god of luck, and it was also a team with hard power, and it was still able to bring back some crazy surprises...... It's nothing else. It is the current owner of this rainforest, the Amazon Centaur.
In terms of value, the average centaur slave is not worth much, and sometimes it is not even as good as the average farming cattle and horse, but the Amazon centaur is different. Because of the belligerent nature with a beautiful appearance. Coupled with their hard-to-catch wildness, the Amazon Centaur has always been a sought-after commodity in the slave market, a favorite of collectors of high-class gladiatorial arenas and some species, and even far more than the price of the Black Hand Ogre Cub. If ogres are indispensable protagonists in the gladiatorial arena, then the Amazon centaurs are undoubtedly the big stars in the gladiatorial arena.
Because of this, those Amazon centaurs who were accidentally captured instantly became many adventurers chasing their dreams, and attracted more adventurers, speculators, and slave traders into the rainforest. Although after losing the ideal nemesis like the Black Hand Ogre, the crazy women have found a new toy. But it could not hide the fact that the tribe was looted or killed from time to time, and even some of the outer villages of the Amazon centaurs were later looted. Many adult soldiers were killed in battle, and young children were captured alive.
Amazon centaurs are not known for their ability to reproduce, although their fertility is not difficult, but because of the tribal tradition of leaving only strong female babies and the combat ability of warriors during pregnancy and childbirth, the strict clan rule that you must not give birth without the permission of the tribal elders, the number of Amazon centaurs is much rarer than that of other centaur clans.
There was no problem with the black hand ogre, who also did not suppress the opponent with numerical superiority, but when the enemy was replaced by a steady stream of adventurers and slave hunters, the number of Amazon centaurs finally began to grow dramatically, and in just two years, the size of the current Amazon tribe was not even one-third of what it used to be.
Amazon centaurs live for battle, these women are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that death is meaningless, and they are even more afraid that they will not die and be captured alive to become a plaything to be watched, and the last trace of dignity of the warrior will also be lost, that is the real life is better than death, the only thing that can make this group of female warriors feel afraid.
Sadly, for those who are seasoned slave hunters, there are as many ways to capture a target alive and make it impossible for the prey to kill itself, and while most of them don't work for Amazon centaurs, as long as one or two are effective.
Amazon centaurs are not a cowardly race willing to perish in silence, fighting is the only meaning of these women's lives, since they can't change their fate of being gradually weakened and enslaved, then it is better to simply have a decisive battle, and those who are trying to pursue their dreams from them to fight to the death, and end their lives on the battlefield happily, this is the most suitable soul destination for the fighting nation.
It took a lot of effort and sacrificed many valuable warriors to finally lure a large number of slave hunters together, but just as the supreme leader of the Amazon centaurs, Tian Khan, was ready to gather all his forces to start this death crusade to defend the dignity of the tribe, those adventurers and slave hunters who were as ubiquitous as rainforest mosquitoes suddenly retreated, and did not enter the rainforest again for several months.
If it were any other race, I am afraid that they would all go to the three goddesses of fate for the luck of the rest of their lives, but the Amazon centaurs did not feel that there was anything to celebrate happily, they could accept the cruelty of the opponent, but they absolutely could not bear the cowardice of the opponent, which was also the biggest insult to the Amazon centaur, and it must be washed away with the blood of the opponent, so under the command of the supreme leader of the Amazon centaur, the heavenly khan Clarissalina, the trampler of all beings, a team of the most elite Amazon centaurs walked out of the rainforest, with the belief that there would be no return, vowing to make those bastards who insult the dignity of the warriors pay a hundred times the blood of the Amazon......
******
"Olivia Khan. It has been reconfirmed that our target is indeed one of those Impudent Basterds who once desecrated our Amazon Centaurs, a mercenary group known as the Python Fangs. The number is about three hundred, just ......"
"Just what?" asked the female Khan Olivia, one of the leaders of the Amazon Centaur war, as she looked at the young scout with a cold gaze.
"It's just that we've observed a lot of wounded fighters in the target camp, and they've just been wounded, if we're not mistaken. The other side should be at war, and what we have found is likely to be a logistics base for the other side. ”
Hearing the logistics base, Olivia suddenly frowned. Unlike the Black Hand Ogre, who never picks raiding targets, or is never a picky eater, the honor-conscious Amazon Centaurs don't like to attack targets that are incapable of resisting, even if they are hunting and looting. But now they are defending the glory of their tribe. In a war of revenge, if the first target is just a logistics base filled with sick and wounded, then the glory of the clan will inevitably be stained. But after coming out of the rainforest, they are just a lone army trapped in enemy territory, and they are almost not qualified to choose an opponent.
To fight? or not to fight?
While the Olivia Khan hesitated, the second mounted surveillance scout galloped back and reported, "Olivia Khan, there is an anomaly in the target camp. It seems that someone attacked them first!"
******
By the time Olivia Khan and his elite centaurs felt the surveillance point, the camp of the "Python Fang" had already become a mess. A wild giant with pale hair, long hair, and a hideous voodoo mask on his face was killing inside. His muscular body was as indestructible as steel. Kong Wu's powerful arms ruthlessly tore apart one life after another in front of him.
Although the "Python's Fang" is only a medium-sized mercenary group, and the main force is all fighting on the frontline battlefield, even if it is a left-behind force, it is by no means comparable to those ruffians and gangsters in Falling Tide Harbor, and the proportion of fighters with combat positions is very high, and the combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, but for Goron, this is an excellent opportunity to experiment, allowing him to figure out what his mutated voodoo mask is all about.
Since the last time he suddenly experienced an inexplicable transformation and defeated the mysterious aristocratic private army in one fell swoop, Goron has found that this seemingly ordinary voodoo mask has undergone an unusual change, but this change has too many unknowns, and too many uncertainties, plus in the stage of transforming into a "pale giant", Goron seems to have lost his mind, and can only roughly distinguish between friend and foe. Goron would never want to try such a dangerous transformation in the Haunted Gold Mine, but for him who is desperate for power, it is a gift from the god of fate that he must not miss. That's why he stayed in the camp of the "Poisonous Python's Fang", waiting for an appropriate opportunity to complete this dangerous but extremely important experiment.
Of course, before that, the goblin Britney had been well hidden. Her task is to observe the changes in Goron from the side, and if necessary, to "recover" Goron, who may be incapacitated. As one of the strongest combat forces in Lao Cai, Black Lake is responsible for protecting the big boss, and only Britney can take on this mission.
Unlike the last mistake, this time Goron put on the mask calmly and solemnly after being fully prepared physically and mentally, and the moment the wooden mask came into contact with the skin of his face, Golon's brain seemed to be overcharged, and a feeling of pain or soreness, or a feeling of extreme pleasure washed over every cell of his body like a tide. It was at this stage that Goron lost his mind last time, but this time, he was well prepared and stubbornly pushed it over......
This wasn't too difficult, after all, Goron had to endure the terrible pain of the seven "Serpents of Light" transforming his body every night not long ago, and compared to the cramping and boning pain, the impact of putting on the mask could almost be called enjoyment.
Then Goron's eyes saw light...... (To be continued.) )
