Chapter 077: A Different Captive
To the west of the crossroads was the road to the Stonetalon Mountains, where the tribe had set up guard towers near the oasis and built bunkers to serve as garrisons.
At this time, on the plain in front of the watchtower and bunker, a large group of centaurs were attacking, and the warriors of the tribe were desperately resisting.
"It's not like what you reported! Eighty-nine centaur warriors were lost in three days, but there were nearly two hundred troops who continued to attack, right?! ”
Lying on Misha's back, Tooth followed Lexa and Hoff to the guard area of the Western Watchtower, and saw worse than the crossroads camp guards had reported.
Lexa couldn't help but frown as he looked at the dense centaur warriors in front of him.
It is said that the tribe also has a large garrison in the barren land, with nearly a thousand tribal warriors stationed here.
However, the biggest trouble is that the troops are stationed relatively scattered, and the permanent troops at the crossroads and the surrounding areas are less than 300 people.
According to the attack intensity of these centaurs, even if the opponent does not increase the investment of troops, this watchtower will last for about a day at most!
"Yaya, pay attention to protect yourself, let's go and repel this wave of attacks first."
As the leader of the tribe, Lexa has been traveling in the wild for a long time, but it is impossible to sit idly by when he sees such a scene in front of him, so he decides to join the war.
"Got it!"
After a period of time with Lexa and his fellow beasts, Yaya is not as restrained about them as before, after all, they can already be regarded as comrades who have fought together.
Whew!
Misha couldn't hold it anymore and roared and rushed straight at the centaurs who were throwing torches in front of the watchtower.
The sudden arrival of a giant bear like a small hill caught the centaur warriors by surprise, and they were instantly thrown into disarray and fled in all directions.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Hofer came to the bunker and began to snipe the centaur warrior from a distance under the cover of the fortifications, and his spikes were truly unmistakable, resulting in a centaur warrior with every blow.
Lexa rushed in front of the tribal defenders and led these warriors of different races to launch a counterattack on the centaurs, pushing the battlefield back nearly fifty meters.
The reinforcements that arrived with the Beastmaster at the crossroads also joined the battle, and the replenishment of troops not only reduced the numerical disadvantage, but also completely brought out the momentum of the battle.
The centaurs were overwhelmed by this sudden counterattack, and with a dull sound of horns, the centaurs withdrew!!
"Quickly gather the horde, repair the fortifications, clean up the battlefield, and prepare to defend against the next wave of attacks."
Seeing that the centaur warriors had withdrawn, Lexa did not order a pursuit, but urged the guards of the watchtower to repair themselves in order to cope with the possible more fierce attack in the future.
"Lexa, look over there!"
Tooth sat up straight on Micha's back, looking far west of the oasis and seemed to see something strange.
"What's that?! Like a giant flag? ”
Lexa also looked far away in the direction of his teeth, but he couldn't see it very clearly, after all, the distance was very far, and it was mixed in the middle of the herd of centaurs, and his vision was blocked a lot.
"Hmmm! It's a battle flag, it's really big, and there must be a centaur leader there. ”
Yaya struggled to remember what he had learned, and when a large army was fighting, there would be a leader at the place where the battle flag was located.
"Looks like the centaurs are out of the nest this time!"
The little troll remembered the information Lexar had obtained, and the Kokar centaurs had been deployed for a long time to occupy the Barrens.
This time, taking the opportunity to avenge those leaders, I must have wanted to do a big job in the barren land!
"Have you sent a scout to investigate?"
Lexa inquired as he approached the camp guards, it was clear that intelligence was crucial for such a large military operation.
"A dozen scouts were sent back and forth, but none of them came back!"
An orc veteran reported to Lexa, his fist clenched, an angry and slightly regretful look.
"It seems that the other party is very prepared!"
Misha walked up to Lexa, and Toothtooth jumped off the bear's back and said to Lexa.
"But if you want to find out the situation of the place, you don't have to rely on your own scouts, did you find any live when cleaning the battlefield?"
The little troll reminded the veteran as he suddenly turned his head to look at Toothtooth, looking a little surprised.
"Yes, but it's very bad, and it shouldn't last long."
Toothtooth looked at Lexa and nodded, and the Beastmaster instantly understood what the little guy meant, and motioned for the veteran to take them to see the captive's mouth.
"In the bunker, follow me."
The veteran led Lexa to the bunker, pushing open the closed wooden door, where a minotaur guarded the two centaurs lying on the ground.
"Lord Lexa is going to interrogate these two guys, are they still angry?"
The veteran questioned the minotaur, who shook his head at one of the centaurs, then spread his hands at the other.
"Okay! If one is alive, drag the dead one out! ”
The Minotaur warrior followed the Orc veteran's instructions and dragged the deflated centaur warrior upside down from the bunker, then closed the wooden door.
"Lord Lexa, only this one is still angry, we tried, and these two guys won't say anything."
The veteran pointed to the centaur warrior on the ground who was raising his upper body, and said helplessly.
It was a somewhat unusually different looking centaur warrior, he didn't seem to have any injuries on his body, and his fur was very smooth, unlike a warrior who had been out and about marauding for a long time.
"You're not an inferior warrior!"
Lexa saw through everything, and opened his mouth to deny the identity that the other party wanted to disguise.
This trick really worked, and the centaur on the ground straightened up and looked at the big orc in front of him with some surprise.
"One of the reasons why those guys out there are crazy attacks must be because of you, right?"
Tooth came over to add at this time, and the little troll also saw that this centaur was very different from ordinary centaur warriors, not only was his appearance more refined, but his temperament was also much softer.
"How do you know? Also, how do you speak centaur language?! ”
Not only did Tooth ask questions that the other party couldn't avoid, unlike Rex who asked in the orc lingua franca, he asked the question in the centaur lingua franca, which shocked the centaurs on the ground even more.
Lexa also glanced at Yaya in surprise, even he didn't know that the little guy could actually speak the language of centaurs, and he couldn't help but be a little vigilant.
In fact, Toothtooth was able to ask questions in the lingua franca of centaurs, all thanks to the elven dragon egg he had been holding in his arms.
The little one seemed to be waking up day by day, and the more she woke up, the more she liked to communicate with Yaya, and now that the two of them had established a telepathic connection, they were able to share their thoughts all the time.
The centaur lingua franca is what the elf dragon egg taught to the teeth, of course, it is just a temporary translation of the question into the centaur lingua franca, and then repeated through the mouth of the teeth!
