120, Exploring the Centaur Tribe (I)

There was a burst of laughter, and the group pulled back the conversation, though they were still talking about Prailly's defense against centaur attacks over the years, but the atmosphere in the room was no longer too solemn.

"Speaking of which, Count Casya's tactical strategy is quite decent." Yang Qianyu commented. "It's just that although it has achieved 'keeping the enemy out of the country' to a certain extent, the blind defense is still too passive after all."

"Speaking of which, there's no way around it." Li Xiang sighed. "Compared to humans, the Wilderness Walkers (centaurs) have an overwhelming advantage in their mobility in the plains. Although the southern counties of the kingdom were rich in horses, the horses of the Iber world were inherently deficient and could not be used as mounts for the cavalry. So the centaurs who come and go like the wind are out of reach. Otherwise, there is no need to leave the vast wilderness outside the country undeveloped, but rely on the mountains and woodlands to build border fortresses. ”

"That's right." Yang Qianyu nodded, and then smiled lightly. However, Kasha's battle plan is more than safe, but not aggressive. But there was one thing she didn't estimate. ”

"What didn't you estimate?" When everyone heard this, they immediately became interested and asked Yang Qianyu one after another.

Yang Qianyu grinned, raised her hand and spread her palms to everyone, and said, "She missed our new force." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then immediately laughed.

"Haha, that's right."

"This time, let's also get involved and show off our majesty!"

"Now that you've won the battle, strike while the iron is hot."

"Finally, I can show my skills again."

“……”

“……”

Everyone who crossed through was at the age of being young and frivolous, and they were strong in their blood, and in the world of Iber, did they have the elders to suppress their nature from time to time like in the world before the crossing, and they could release their personalities wantonly. In addition, everyone now has a heritage, and their strength has improved, so it is the time to show their talents. Now that the opportunity has come to the door, how can everyone not be excited?

Now, as soon as the soldiers and civilians of the three southern villages arrive at Minoburg, the rest of the companions stationed in the three villages will also arrive, and when the time comes, the people will unite and be confident that no difficulty will be able to stump them.

After Kasha sent a herald to deliver a message to the three southern villages such as Lena Village, the troops of the Rogge Knights stationed in the three villages immediately prepared for retreat, and then together with the militia of each village, they escorted the old and weak women and children in the village to withdraw to Minoburg with a large number of supplies. In just one day, all the soldiers and civilians of the three villages arrived at Minoburg. This increased the number of people in the fortress to nearly two thousand four or five.

Among these more than 2,000 people, nearly 1,000 were armed men, including more than 600 sergeants of the Rogge Knights, 200 hired mercenary teams, and more than 400 militiamen. Except for Ruhr Village, which was attacked by the centaurs, and most of the materials could not be moved, all the materials in the other three villages were moved, hidden or destroyed, and not even a trace was left for the centaurs. If it weren't for the fact that the village would have to move back after the centaurs had withdrawn, even the houses would have been completely destroyed.

As a military fortress, the Minoan Fort is naturally rich in various resources. The grain stored in the granary alone was enough for 3,000 people to eat for a year, so the soldiers and civilians who lived in the fort did not have to worry about starvation.

While settling the people and preparing the defense, Kasha also sent the warriors of the knights under his command who practiced the 'assassin' class system as scouts to lurk near the abandoned three villages and the fallen Ruhr village to monitor, and at the same time continuously transmitted information back.

The Centaur tribe that broke through the Ruhr village did not continue to invade other areas, but camped in the Ruhr village. The other three villages also appeared on the periphery of the centaur scout activities, after discovering that the people of the three villages went to the village, more than a dozen centaur tribes flocked to the village.

These centaur tribes numbered six or seven hundred, and the few were two or three hundred, and the total number of several tribes reached nearly five thousand. They turned the three southern villages that Praile had abandoned to the ground, but found nothing. Later, after learning that the centaur tribe stationed in the Ruhr village had looted and looted supplies, and now there was food and drink there, he immediately set off for the Ruhr village. As a result, a small Ruhr village was suddenly full of people, and the figures of centaurs were everywhere.

Although the Centaur tribe that broke the Ruhr village got a lot of supplies, these materials were not enough for a few centaur tribes to divide up, not to mention that they would not give away what they had in hand.

As a result, conflicts began between the various centaur tribes, and then the conflict quickly escalated into a battle between the tribes.

Outside the Ruhr village, somewhere in a dense forest.

"Wow, they're fighting so hard." Yang Qianyu stood on the branch of a big tree and looked in the direction of Ruer Village from afar. I saw that in a clearing in the village, two centaur tribes were facing each other at one end. In the middle of the empty field, the leaders of the two tribes, the Centaur Khan, were fiercely fighting together. Looking at the two centaur khans in the fight, Yang Qianyu said to himself suspiciously: "However, why do these centaurs engage in this kind of one-man fight? ”

"Mr. Yang Qianyu probably hasn't seen a fight between centaur tribes, so it's strange." A knight of the Rog Knights, who came with Yang Qianyu and practiced the 'Assassin' martial art, explained: "In fact, the centaur tribes often have annexation wars with each other, usually the ordinary centaurs in the tribe fight each other first, eliminate the old and weak in the two tribes, and then the leader of the two tribes, the Khan, will do the final showdown. After all, the merged tribe can only have one leader, so the two centaur khans must fight to the death. The winner becomes the newly merged Horde Khan, while the loser has only a dead end. ”

"I see." Yang Qianyu was stunned when he heard this. Although the Centaur clan is similar to the ancient Chinese nomads on Earth, they still retain the instinctive temperament of many social beasts. The healthy of the tribe can challenge the leader at any time to compete for the position of khan, and victory is the leader, and defeat is death. The same is true of the merger between tribes, where the old and weak are eliminated and the healthy survive. Although it is extremely cruel and barbaric, it is also unusually realistic.

When Yang Qianyu was thinking wildly, he suddenly felt that the branches standing under his feet trembled slightly, and after looking around, he didn't find anything abnormal, so he couldn't help but say: "Shi Jinxin, don't hide and hide at this time." As soon as the words fell, Shi Jinxin appeared beside Yang Qianyu and asked with a depressed face, "How did you find me?" ”

“!” The knight who was also standing beside Yang Qianyu was shocked when he saw this. Having practiced the 'Assassin' warrior martial arts, although his strength is not among the top among the Rogge Knights, his stealth level is also one of the best. And people who are proficient in stealth naturally have a lot of experience in anti-stealth, but now that there is a person next to him and he is unaware of it, how can this not make him feel frightened.

"If he were an enemy, I'm afraid I'd be dead by this time." The knight was afraid. "It seems that Lord Earl's move to win over the Xuanyuan Adventure Group is really wise, these people are really not simple characters."
