Chapter 596: The Centaur's Decision
Thanks to the lag in the news of this world, it took two weeks for what was happening in the Rus' steppe to reach the Attila army in front, and this was still the case that the Baltic Empire sent people to help it.
No, to be precise, the first to know about what happened on the Russ steppes was probably the centaurs, who rode through the night and the blizzard, and the centaur with the news found his people, disguised himself as a centaur warrior, and entered the camp.
This is a very simple thing, very smooth, because there is no time for centaurs to enter the battlefield to join the war, so they are now generally responsible for patrolling and guarding tasks, and among so many centaurs, one more and one less or something, even if you pay attention to it deliberately, it is difficult to notice, after all, centaurs are such guys, the lower body actually looks the same.
The centaur messenger still had a sense of reason, and during this long journey, even in the midst of the monstrous anger, he had regained a temporary calm, and he went straight to the top of the centaur army, and told them what had happened in his hometown, and told them exactly what had happened.
All the centaurs who knew the news were stunned, they fought on the front line, paid with blood and sweat, and thousands of tens of thousands of compatriots died in this strange land for the ideals and purposes of Attila.
Unexpectedly, what his efforts in exchange for was the betrayal of his own people, the blood and sweat he paid, which seemed worthless at this time, as if he was acting in a comedy that was not ridiculous at all and was not good-looking.
"This is a deception, this is a lie, this is a fool!"
"What did he think of us centaurs? Our sacrifice in exchange for salvation is such a thing, our warriors are so worthless, and they have been treated like this for so many lives?"
The leader of the centaurs, a centaur of legendary power, stood up and slapped the table in front of him so hard that cracks spread across the table.
His face was covered with green tendons, his hair stood upside down, his muscles were crimson, and a terrifying power brewed in his body, like a volcano that would erupt at any moment.
Anger burned in his chest, and now he just wanted to grab the weapon in his hand and rush to Atira's tent to question the girl he had always respected from the bottom of his heart.
This centaur is to honor Attila in his heart, he seriously believes that Attila can bring them a victory, can bring the glory of the centaur, even if this belief has been weakening over time, but it has not completely disappeared, he still delusional about the arrival of glory.
However, today's words of this messenger and the news he brought completely shattered his delusions and exposed the bloody reality after the beauty in front of him.
It wasn't that he didn't doubt the messenger's words, that he didn't suspect that the messenger had been deceived into saying such a thing, or that he was telling a lie, but the instincts from the legend denied all his speculations.
While they were fighting bloody battles in front, their relatives in the rear were suffering, and the perpetrators of the ordeal were the other people for whom they were fighting.
"No, don't go. ”
"Calm down, you can't do anything like this at this time. ”
"Stop him, don't let him do anything stupid. ”
"Now is not the time for him to joke, tie him up and find something to keep him calm. ”
The other centaurs around stopped the centaur leader, and in order to prevent him from doing anything impulsive and causing irremedial things, they tied him with ropes and put a bag full of snow and ice on his head.
"This news hasn't been known to Attila and the two knights, has it?"
A centaur leader asked, the centaur was outstandingly dressed, his hair was combed into pigtails, his face was strangely colored, and he was dressed in linen instead of leather armor like the other centaurs.
He is one of the few Centaurs to cast spells, and he is also recognized as the smartest of all the centaurs in the Northlands, and no matter who the Centaur chief is, they can't ignore his opinion when deciding things.
Regardless of their mood, the wise man's opinion was enough to gain respect for the centaur chieftain and the centaur race.
"Yes, Wise Man, I came here without being seen by anyone else. ”
"It seems that the Baltic Empire has made a lot of efforts in this. ”
The centaur smiled absently, but his smile made the long-distance centaur messenger break out in a cold sweat, and his feet went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Don't worry, this was originally the plan of the Baltic Empire, but the situation has developed to this point, and it has nothing to do with the Baltic Empire. ”
As the centaur spoke, the tent that had been asking quickly fell silent, and their thin lines gathered together, and they looked like they were listening, and even the centaur leader, who had been making noise all the time, with a cloth stuffed in his mouth, stopped struggling.
"First, the previous rebellion of our compatriots has caused the other races, including those knights, to lose faith in our centaur loyalty, and we need to re-establish this loyalty, re-establish trust, and we need to pay what we do not want to see, and we are not willing to give. ”
Since the beginning of the war, no matter how loyal and hard the centaurs have shown to be, they cannot hide that they have been paddling and fishing.
"The second point is that the other races have a grudge against us centaurs, and this resentment has not gone away until now, as long as it is provoked a little, it will erupt like a flash flood, and it cannot be stopped. ”
War is for people to die, and it is impossible for people's relatives to die on the battlefield, at the hands of the traitors of the enemy, and to say that they have no resentment, and do not take out anger on their fellow traitors.
"The third and final point is that our enemy is too clever, and her plan is a dignified plan, and anyone who understands it can know what kind of idea she is fighting, but because it is so, because of this, there is no other way, neither us nor those two knights. ”
There was a hint of helplessness in his words, even though he himself was called a wise man and was regarded as the smartest centaur in the Northland, but in the face of Alice's upright conspiracy and heart-attacking strategy, he had no way at all.
Rumors have reached the ears, the hatred has not yet dissipated, the new trust is not completely certain, even for the sake of the overall situation, for the stability of the whole situation, the Attila Empire will inevitably follow the path paved by Alice.
The same is true on the centaur side, these centaur leaders in the tent represent not only themselves, but also the entire centaur tribe within the Attila Empire, the herders at the bottom are counted, but they need to take into account the reactions and attitudes of their supporters and relatives.
The empire has no choice, no matter what the previous reasons were, after the end of this war, the unstable factors in the territory Centaurs will inevitably become something to be cleaned up and discarded.
But...... At this time, it was the centaurs who had the information about the Rus steppe first, and with the advantage of this information, they could do a lot of things, such as preparing in advance and preparing for the worst.
Famine and plague are sensible, and most of the time they can discard their personal subjective factors and choose the most advantageous option from an objective point of view, so they will definitely not attack the centaurs at this time, when the Scandinavians have not yet been wiped out.
But Attila was different, the girl with terrible powers, her mind was not accurate enough for anyone to guess, maybe she knew the news of what happened in the Rus steppe, she slaughtered all the centaurs in a bad mood, and did not pay attention to the westward expedition at all.
The regulations were very clear, the logic was very clear, and the centaur's analysis was agreed by everyone, and they began to discuss in a whisper, discussing what kind of way out the centaur clan would have next.
According to the centaur's analysis, there are only two ways to stay in the Attila Empire, whether he will be solved as a traitor now, or he will be settled after this war, this western expedition, and be settled by the Autumn Queen.
"Forget it, it's better for the wise man to take the idea, otherwise you can't rely on this fool. ”
The centaur higher-ups quickly came to a consensus, and they looked at each other, then at the bound leader, and then threw the question to the centaur wise.
"Tell me who you're stupid!"
No one paid attention to the howl of the centaur chief who was tied to the ground, this guy was only worthy of the position of leader because of force, but he really didn't dare to compliment it in terms of intelligence.
"First of all, we can confirm that we centaurs are still on all patrol missions, so we must be careful not to let the news of the Ross Meadows reach their ears. ”
There is no need to say who they refer to, but according to the plan of the wise man, if the centaur army as a scout wants to cover up some information, it is a simple matter, and it is impossible to prevent self-theft or something since ancient times.
"Second, you must not spread the news about the Rose Meadows, not even your guards, you can't tell it, this is not a game, it is really about the fate of our entire centaur race. ”
The centaurs present all nodded, acknowledging this, this news is too important, and they have no way to guarantee that their guards are all people who can keep secrets, and it is impossible to confirm whether there are people among the guards who put the empire above race.
"Thirdly, we need to contact the Baltic Empire, the culprit of all this, and now think that they have prepared the conditions at the negotiating table with a smile on their faces, and are waiting for us to arrive, only then can they explain why they asked you to come to us. ”
The wise man pointed to the messenger who had delivered the message and said.
His face is not good-looking, which is also normal, no one's path is clearly arranged by others, and the initiative is always in the hands of others, and he will not feel happy when he has no right to choose.
But, on the other hand, the centaur's heart was filled with frustration, and it was because he saw through Alice's plan that he realized how big a gap there was between them, and it was not a gap that could be crossed by mere effort and time.
The wise man's proposal was met with everyone's approval, even the centaur chief, who didn't know when you had broken free, had the same expression.
Ordinary ropes can't trap a legendary centaur, and the reason why they didn't break free was that they didn't want to interrupt the performance of the wise man, and this simple rope was more like a kind of restraint to calm him down.
"On the side of the two knights, I'll deal with it, so that our goals need to be changed, previously ours was to preserve our own strength as the first priority, and now we need to prepare to deal with the enemy in the future. ”
No matter how the outcome of the negotiations is, it cannot change the fact that the centaurs have decided to secede from the Attila Empire, this is a fact determined by objective conditions, and with their subjective consciousness it is impossible to change such a fact.
"How about the Gnolls, do you need to contact them, they are also very dissatisfied with the Empire during this time, if we can unite their forces, we ......"
"Even if we can unite their forces, we can only flee in disgrace, don't underestimate the two knights, don't underestimate Attila, we quietly carry out our plan, and don't get involved in the affairs of the gnolls. ”
The centaur interrupted the other man with a wave of his hand, his face cold, completely unable to see the appearance of the commotion just now.
"The greater the movement of the gnolls, the more opportunities we have, and if they can start a rebellion, so much the better, with the opportunities they create, we can better accomplish the plan that the wise man has just made. ”
Gnolls and centaurs have never been friends, in the era of the three major disasters, they have a habit of fighting each other and plundering each other's resources, if the death of a jackal can keep a centaur alive, the leaders of these centaurs will never hesitate in the slightest.
"Moreover, don't forget, the wise man has made it very clear just now, the dominant power is not in our hands at all now, the chess pieces must have the consciousness of the chess pieces, and before there is no strength, don't think about becoming a chess player, that will only make you suffer a catastrophe. ”
At this time, the centaur leader only had the appearance of a little leader, and after venting his inner anger in a special way, cooling his brain, and thinking calmly, he made a wise choice.
