122, the centaur is coming
On a dense forest path leading from the village of Ruhr to Minoburg.
Several figures flew through the forest, and they were all light and fast, and they were all masters.
These people were Yang Qianyu, Shi Jinxin, and several Rogge knights who went to Ruer Village to monitor the movements of the centaurs entrenched there. In order to be secretive, no one rode a horse, and they chose a time-saving but relatively difficult path. However, such road conditions are not much different from a flat avenue for a pedestrian.
On the way back, Yang Qianyu and others were still talking about what they saw in Ruer Village.
"The centaur infighting is over, and it only takes a day or two for the new tribal leader to put the entire tribe in order. We don't have much time left. Shi Jinxin frowned and said, "I don't know how the preparation is in Minoburg?" Is Kasha ready? ”
"We have to have faith in Count Casa." Yang Qianyu opened his mouth to reassure Shi Jinxin, and secretly glanced at him, signaling him to pay attention to his words and deeds.
After Shi Jinxin received Yang Qianyu's hint, he cautiously glanced at the accompanying Rogue knights, and was cautiously relieved when he saw that they were all busy hurrying and did not pay attention.
"But even if you have confidence, I'm afraid you will be worried when you see the previous scene." Shi Jinxin sighed.
"Yes," Yang Qianyu nodded. "I didn't expect that the divine power of the centaur clan could actually plunder and absorb each other. It is believed that after absorbing the divine power of more than a dozen clan leaders, this centaur khan will be even more difficult to deal with now. ”
"Absorption? What absorption? Several Rog knights who accompanied him were stunned when they heard this, and then one of the leaders asked suspiciously.
“…… It's nothing, just talking to yourself. Yang Qianyu said casually, and then glanced at each other in astonishment with Shi Jinxin - it seems that there are some scenes that happened in Luer Village before that ordinary people have not seen.
It turned out that at that time, the annexation of the centaur tribe ended with the death of the leader of one side, and the centaurs around them chanted "Charon!" At that time, Yang Qianyu and Shi Jinxin saw that the golden and red light on the dead centaur Khan suddenly dissipated, turning into bits of golden light and merging into the body of the victorious centaur khan. After absorbing these golden points of light, the light around the victorious centaur Khan became more and more dazzling, and the color also changed to a dazzling platinum gold. And as the color of the light that enveloped his body changed, the momentum exuded by the Centaur Khan became more and more powerful. Even if they were far apart, Yang Qianyu and Shi Jinxin could faintly feel the sense of intimidation emanating from each other's bodies.
And the Rog knights who were in the same place with the two of them at that time were also shocked by the momentum emanating from the Centaur Khan, so Yang Qianyu didn't think there was anything wrong. Now, after an unintentional conversation, Yang Qianyu realized that these Rogue knights didn't seem to see the scene where the centaur Khan absorbed the golden light emitted from the body of the war dead. Although I don't know why I'm a time-traveler who can see things that the aborigines of the Iber world can't, this is not the time to delve into this issue. The immediate priority was to return to Minoburg as soon as possible and assist the Knights of Rogge in defending the fortress.
Two days later, Fort Mino.
The mournful trumpets of the soldiers standing on the watchtower resounded throughout the castle, and the castle suddenly became noisy. Countless Rog Knights sergeants poured onto the walls and entered their respective combat posts, staring at the centaurs charging towards the castle in the distance.
Under the command of the knights, the warriors drew their bows and arrows at the oncoming centaurs. As soon as the centaurs came within range of their bows and arrows, locust-like arrows flew down from the castle walls.
The archers did their best to shoot their arrows at the onrushing centaurs. It doesn't matter if it's wasteful or inaccurate, the cost of arrows with wooden rods and iron heads is quite low, and relying on Prailey's current abundant finances is still consumed. As for the head, I don't care about any accurate shooting right now - besides, the shock formation of the centaurs in the distance is so dense that if you shoot in the direction they are rushing from, the flying arrows will always hit some of the hapless people.
The storming centaurs roared in exasperation as the arrows rained down, then let go of their hooves and accelerated like beasts beneath the walls!
I have to say that the centaur galloping at full speed is really fast. It only took a few seconds for the centaurs to cross a distance of more than 100 meters, approaching the effective distance that their throwing weapons could inflict damage on the human defenders on the wall.
A round of javelins flew into the wall, and many archers were caught off guard by javelins and fell down. The defenders responded quickly, with some of the non-archery sergeants raising their shields to fend off the javelins thrown by the centaurs, while the archery warriors continued to shoot arrows at the centaurs below.
Under the continuous rain of arrows on the city, the centaurs who rushed to the city suffered heavy losses, but many of them still approached the position close to the base of the wall. The base of the wall was a dead spot for archers in the city, and if you wanted to kill the centaurs in this area, whether you were shooting them with a bow and arrow, or throwing stones or pouring boiling oil under the city, you had to lean out of the battlements of the walls to do so, but it would be difficult for the shield-wielding sergeants to protect them. Many of the sergeants were stabbed by the javelins thrown by the other side when they tried to drive the centaurs gathered under the wall, and one of the sergeants carrying a pot of boiling oil also knocked over the oil pot, and the hot oil poured directly on the wall, but burned many of their own people.
The centaurs who rushed to the base of the wall picked up the hammers of the big sticks in their hands and slammed them at the base of the wall. Although the Minoan Castle is a fortress castle, due to the lack of stone in the area where it was built, it is not an all-stone structure, but a mixture of stone and wood. Although the walls of the wood and stone structure are far stronger than those of simple wooden walls, they cannot withstand the vigorous bombardment of centaurs. Soon, cracks began to appear at the root of some of the walls that had been hit and smashed, and gradually showed signs of crumbling.
At this moment, only to hear the roar of "Hu-", a pillar of fire with a diameter of more than ten meters suddenly rose into the air, instantly devouring the seven or eight centaurs who were smashing with hammers and sticks at a section of the city wall, and these unlucky ghosts did not even have time to howl and disappeared in the flames. The centaurs who surrounded the area were also affected, and those who were close also turned into ashes along with their companions who smashed the wall, and those who were a little farther away were also burned, and the skin of the burned places immediately became as ugly and terrifying as tattered rags.
At the same time, there was a flash of lightning above the city wall, and several arcs of lightning shot out, sweeping through the area below the small half of the city wall, and the centaur warriors who rushed into this area were suddenly cut by thunder, and the one in front was immediately shocked into charcoal and fly ashes, and although the rear was swept away, it was also fleshy and fleshy, and the injuries were not light.
