Chapter 8: Crushing Fear (Part II)

In order to seize the territory of the four-hoofed people, the two-legged people tamed the horses and enslaved them;

In order to occupy the territory of the four-hoofed people, the two-legged people built high walls to hide inside;

Push us out again......

On the grassland under the starry sky, Chakar, the banner owner of the Centaur Red Flame Banner, suddenly remembered this ancient centaur poem when he looked up at the gate of the Byrne Legion's camp.

That's right... Just such a small trench, surrounded by a wooden wall of fences and fences, could keep thousands of four-hoofed warriors out.

If you attack, you will kill and wound hundreds of warriors;

If you bypass it, you will be like a man, and there is a risk of being attacked at any time.

In the past, the two-legged people used this method to seize and occupy the land belonging to the four-hoofed people step by step, turning all the land under the stars into their pastures, and driving the four-legged people who originally belonged here to the barren and desolate east.

And now, these two-legged people are planning to do it again.

Dressed in dark coat and armor like a Boean hussar, Chakar looked very different from the other centaurs around him, and in addition to the spear in his hand, he also had two sabers of the Boi people hanging from his waist.

Bloodthirsty cries surged like a tide in the night, and thousands of centaurs were galloping around the Byrne's camp, which was surrounded by a lonely boat in the midst of a raging wave, ready to capsize in the blink of an eye.

Surrounded by a dozen elite centaur warriors, Chakar, who stood in front of the main gate of Byrne's camp, looked into the distance, contemplating and watching the movement of the two-legged man opposite.

He's hesitating... Hesitating whether to attack or retreat.

"We can take it! We can take this damn camp!"

A young and vigorous centaur warrior with a red body roared excitedly, "One charge! One charge we can rush through that damn trench, smash the wooden walls of the two-legged men, and slaughter the two-legged men hiding inside for meat——!"

"And then, and then lure more two-legged people to the Great Green Sea?" another older centaur retorted with a sigh, "We can't handle the two-legged people of the Great Green Sea alone, and we will attract more enemies?"

"Don't forget how our ancestors were defeated - beyond the Great Green Sea, there are many, many two-legged men in iron clothes that we have never seen!"

"Cowards!" the young centaur warrior became even more excited, "It is because of you old cowards that we have to retreat to the cold and bitter east, and my two younger brothers and sisters have to starve to death in winter!"

"The new shaman in the clan is right, you old cowards should be made meat, so that the centaurs can truly ......."

"Okay——!"

Chakar, with a solemn expression, interrupted the quarrel of the warriors under his command: "Let the warriors of the Red Flame Banner stabilize their footing, continue to surround the camp of the two-legged people, and give this group of cowards time to tremble." ”

"If they want to hold on, we'll attack before dawn;"

"If they want to escape... Just let the warriors spread out of the array and let them go. Chakar grinned, revealing his white teeth:

"And then we'll hunt them as hard as we can... Like wolves hunting sheep!"

As Chakar's words fell, the centaur warriors around him showed expressions of understanding, one laughing more bloodthirsty and hideous than the other.

As for the counteroffensive ... The concept didn't exist in their minds at all, and in the face of tens of thousands of four-footed men, which two-legged man had the courage to counterattack - and it was still at night?

"But if we do that, won't we anger the Two-Legged to the South?" the older centaur was still a little worried:

"The Great Chief's order is just for us to catch the two-legged man who has fled. ”

"Look there. Chakar said in a deep voice, pointing the spear in his right hand at the highest point in the middle of the camp: "Look at that flag and tell me what you saw." ”

"Golden lion on black background...... The older centaur was slightly stunned, suddenly remembered something, and roared through gritted teeth:

"Is that guy?!"

"Yes, it's the devil!" Chakar also gritted his teeth: "The leader of this two-legged army is the son of the devil!"

"If you can kill the devil's son and take away the banner... Think about it, what does this mean for all the four-hoofed people, and what does this mean for us in the Red Flame Banner?"

"We... Will you become a hero of the Four Hoofers?!"

"That's right!" Chakar said categorically, "Then we can hold this banner and sweep the entire Great Green Sea all the way, and then attack the Thousand Tent City... I'd like to see how much courage those cowards hiding in the city have to resist after seeing this flag?!"

The older centaur was not as excited as the young warriors around him, but frowned deeply: "But doing so will only make the two-legged man hate you even more." ”

"They should be hated, and it's time for the two feet to experience the pain we were in. Chakar's eyes were scarlet, and there was a chill in his voice: "When the hatred is over, they will start to fear me. ”

Chakar pulled out the saber at his waist, and the narrow blade glittered under the stars:

"I want your enemies to fear you, to respect you, to kneel before you, to kiss your hooves... The first step is to imprint fear firmly in their bones!"

"That's what I learned from that devil!"

The older centaur stopped retorting to his master, stroked his chest and bowed his head, and gathered his front hooves.

"What happened to the old shaman who was caught by us?" After a moment of silence, Chakar decided to change the subject: "Are you still talking nonsense and refusing to pledge your allegiance to me?"

"I whipped him twice in the morning, starved him a few more times, and now I'm finally honest. The centaur warrior immediately replied respectfully:

"Although he still refuses to swear allegiance to you, just as I was about to come, he suddenly asked me to remind you, and said......" The centaur said with a sudden pause.

"Say what?"

"He said it would be better not to be so close to the camp, the distance was too dangerous—it was the Byrnes in the camp, and their knights rushed in front of you through the gate in the blink of an eye. ”

"If you don't retreat immediately, you'll be dead, let alone a dozen samurai, even if there is a wall in front of you, it's useless. The centaur wizard shuddered and swallowed:

"That's—that's the old shaman's exact words;

Chakar frowned.

Just as he was about to say something, the young centaur warrior on the side suddenly rushed over, with a look of ecstasy:

"Banner Master, they're about to start breaking through!"

Hearing this, Chakar suddenly raised his head, staring at the camp in the distance with wide scarlet eyes, especially the black and gold lion flag.

Really... In the darkness of night, the rangers in the camp began to pour out of the exits on both sides in an orderly manner, followed by phalanx infantry wielding spears and two-handed swords.

Under the cover of the cavalry, the infantry formed a tight formation and slowly approached the centaur warriors who surrounded them, protecting their fronts with spears and bows.

At the same time, the trenches around the camp were lit up, and the flames almost illuminated the surrounding meadows.

Approaching step by step, this is the trick that the two-legged people are used to dealing with the four-hoofed people, as long as the phalanx is maintained, the four-hoofed people will not dare to approach their formation easily, Chakar sneered, and suddenly slashed the saber in his hand:

"The order goes down... Let's get our warriors moving!"

It's midnight, and the nearest two-legged city stopper will take half a day to arrive... If you want to make it to the fortress alive, you have to keep this array all the way.

But this is impossible, as soon as the two-legged men leave the trenches and walls, they are no longer an invincible enemy.

As Byrne's army left the camp, the centaur army began to move closer to the flanks, and the encirclement was accompanied by constant harassment with throwing guns.

Well, that's next......

Just as Chakar was about to give the second order, a smile suddenly froze on his face.

Wait a minute!

This... It can't be such a coincidence, it was really said by that old shaman, right?!

His eyes widened, and there was a fire in his eyes.

And in the firelight, the figures of countless knights emerged, gathered under a black background gold lion.

Come towards him!
