Chapter 146: Fanatical Verogo
The sea monster Tesser is summoned by the Fish-Man Sea Oath Altar in Ratchet Village, and with the help of little Naga, a translator, Tesser and Ratchet Village make a deal.
Tesser didn't agree to join Ratchet Village as Yang Yi had hoped, but it didn't leave. From now on, the village of Ratchet will provide food to Tesser, who will stay in Ratchet Bay.
The sea monster Tesser was huge and needed a lot of food, and the village of Ratchet needed to provide him with twenty adult lobster men or the equivalent every ten days. Fortunately, as a sea monster, Tesser is not a picky eater, as long as it is meat, it can swallow it.
After receiving an adequate supply of food, Tesser usually sleeps under the sea floor of Ratchet Bay, where he will appear and help when the village needs it.
Tesser belongs to the Kraken family of sea monsters, and although he is currently huge, he is actually only a minor Kraken. The Kraken is a native species to the world of Azeroth, and the Kraken are so ancient that it can be said that they watched the continent rise from the ocean. Because they spend most of their time dormant at the bottom of the deep sea, the Kraken is very mysterious, and the terrestrial races know very little about them.
In the history of the world of Azeroth, the Kraken once followed the Water Elemental Lord Tide Hunter Nepturon and became Nepturon's right-hand man. The Kraken race also attacked the Gurakash trolls, and in that earth-shattering battle, the Kraken killed the Gurakish trolls' holy serpent Minos, and destroyed the powerful Gurakash troll empire.
This history can still be found in the ruins left behind by the trolls, and this bloody scene that caused untold pain to the trolls is engraved on the stone tablet. In the textual description of the stele. The Kraken waves were higher than the mountains, and the powerful spell cast by the Troll Clan's Serpent Minos could instantly vaporize the sea water and leave a burning crater at the bottom of the sea, but it could not defeat the Kraken. Ultimately. Enraged, the Kraken unleashed a tsunami that flooded the last empire of the trolls while taking away hope for the trolls' revival.
The village of Ratchet paid a lot of food and was rewarded accordingly. With the presence of Thassel, the fish-people of Ratchet Village have an extra guarantee for their activities in Ratchet Bay.
The matter of the sea oath altar came to an end, and the fishmen of Ratchet Village returned to their respective positions, and Yang Yi also returned to the village.
"Almost all of the races that have survived and thrived in the world of Azeroth have backers. Shouldn't the fishmen of Ratchet Village also find a backer for themselves, such as the Holy Snake of the Troll Clan? Yang Yi couldn't help but think.
"It's as if the boar people are descendants of the ancient demigod Agamargo, and they can use the power left behind by Agamargo to strengthen themselves. At the same time, he is also looking forward to the rebirth of Agamargo. Even savage centaurs have a great background, and their ancestors are said to be the illegitimate sons of the demigod Cenarius. ”
Although the sea monster Tesser's size is huge, he is only a level 5 beast at present, and he is not strong enough as a backer. Yang Yi can only hope that its existence can become a boost to Ratchet Village.
Ratchet Village continues to grow steadily. Ratchet Village's civilization and military values have reached 2302 and 2411 respectively, and it is not far from the village to upgrade again.
So far, there have been profitable industries such as tanning, ornaments, winemaking, and alchemy, and on the mainland, there have been indirect business contacts with villages and towns such as Crossroads through indigenous merchants and pioneers, and in terms of waterways, trade with Senjin, a dark spear troll. As a result, the economy of Ratchet Village began to become active, and the village gradually prospered.
Now, the caravan coast and Ratchet Bay south of Ratchet Village have basically been pacified by the Ratchet Fish People of Ratchet Village, although Ratchet Village does not have the ability to fully control this area, but this is already the safe range of Ratchet Fish Men in Ratchet Village.
On Thorn Ridge to the north of Ratchet Village, the Boar Man Tuck Tooth stabilized the Boar Man refugees after receiving food assistance from Ratchet Village. Now they have grown stronger and stronger, and have become second only to Krinig on Thorn Ridge. The second largest force of the Boar Tribe, led by the Bad Nose. On Thorn Ridge, there are now two steel-maned boar people who are hostile to each other. Keeping each other in check on each other greatly reduces the pressure on the north side of Ratchet Village.
The west side of Ratchet Village is still the biggest source of trouble, and the Kokar Centaurs of the Backwater Oasis have been dormant for a while after a battle with the Horde Alliance, but have recently become active again, and have intensified. The two centaur leaders, Stonelance and Broken Spear, lost a large number of their followers in the last battle, and after that, the Great Khan of the Barrens sent a centaur army to prevent the Horde from taking away the Stagger Oasis.
The leader of this centaur army that reinforces the Stagnant Oasis is a powerful centaur warrior named Verrogo. Originally from this centaur tribe, Verogo returned and defeated the stone lance and the broken spear one after another, becoming the new khan of the Centaur tribe in the Deadwater Oasis.
Unlike the two young centaurs, Stonelance and Broken Spear, Virogo had been galloping the barren land for years. Because of his series of crazy behaviors, people called him the fanatical Verrogo.
The fanatical Verrogo lived up to his title, as soon as he became the Khan of the Centaur tribe in the Backwater Oasis, he immediately led the centaurs everywhere to burn and plunder, and even led the centaur team to harass the crossroads.
Today, the fanatical Verogo led a party of eight hundred centaurs east to the west gate of Ratchet Village. For the defeat of his two men to the Fish-People, Verogo, the new Khan, is resentful. Centaurs are a powerful race with a perfect combination of strength and speed, how can they lose to a weak and low race like the Fish-People.
"Khan, there's the fish-man village ahead." Stone Spear said, pointing in the direction of Ratchet Village.
"Well, this fish-man village is kind of interesting, and it actually built a wall. Unfortunately, the wall is too low and the defenses are too weak, so if we centaurs charge, we will be able to break through the gates of this fish-man village in no time. "Verrogo is well-informed, and he doesn't care about the walls of Fish-Man Village, which are just over three meters high......
Khan said yes, it would not be a problem to take this fish-man village. I heard that the fish-people in this fish-man village store a lot of food, and we can take this opportunity to grab all this food. Stone Lance said.
"The food of the Fish-People is stored for us centaurs, haha." Verogo laughed.
"That's it. The Khan himself went out on horse, and these fishmen had no way to survive at all. "The stone gun patted the ass.
"The scouts dispersed to the various heights to reconnoitre, and immediately signaled any abnormal movement. Broken Spear, you lead your team up to break down the gates of Fish-Man Village. Verogo ordered.
"Yes, Khan." Broken Spear replied, with dissatisfaction in his tone.
Because of his cold and hard attitude and not like a stone spear, the status of the broken spear in the tribe became lower and lower after the new khan ascended the throne.
The broken spear was unwilling. But he still led the team to act as a vanguard.
"Kokar Centaur Warriors, follow me to break through the gates of Fish-Man Village."
Broken Spear fearlessly led a group of centaurs fearlessly towards Ratchet Village, who swung spears and axes in their hands. As they accelerated their charge, they were filled with a wild murderous aura.
The fish-men of Ratchet Village symbolically threw a round of short spears and retreated from the arrow tower and wall, and the western gate did not last long, and was soon breached by the large weapons in the hands of the centaurs.
The gate was broken, and a brutal and ferocious centaur procession poured in.
Yang Yi took the fish-man warriors of Ratchet Village to guard the inside. Originally, Ratchet Village was designed to separate the west side of the village from the southwest gate of the hotel. A wall was built in the village, and now this wall has become the position of the Fish-Man Village.
Between the two walls, the lobster-man slaves of Ratchet Village stood at the front, and more than a hundred shield-wielding fishmen stood in three rows behind the lobstermen, and behind them were the battle-fishmen who had already many fish-man spear-throwers.
Centaurs are good at running, and they need to have a wide space to play to their speed advantage in battle, but there is not enough space left for them in Ratchet Village, these centaurs can tear down the gate but cannot tear down the stone wall more than three meters high.
"Lord. You ready. The old blind eye reported to Yang Yi.
"Okay." Yang Yi nodded slightly.
"Forward!" Yang Yi shouted and gave the order to go to war.
Yang Yi didn't give the centaurs who poured in a chance to adjust. The battle fishmen of Ratchet Village immediately went into action.
The shield-wielding fishman pressed neatly and quickly, accumulating the space for the centaur to move.
"Spear throwing!"
"Throw a spear!"
The fish-man spearman came into range, and with Yang Yi's order, more than a hundred short spears were thrown towards the centaur team.
"Prepare for the net!"
"Cast the net!"
Dense fish-man nets flew into the air and were thrown at the centaur team.
"Spear throwing!"
"Throw a spear!"
……
The battle fishmen of Ratchet Village were like battle drills, and they followed Yang Yi's orders step by step to launch wave after wave of attacks on the centaurs who attacked Ratchet Village.
Kokar centaurs are not only not as hard carapace as the lobster people, but most of them are not equipped with armor, and under the dense short spear attacks of the fish-man spearmen, the centaurs who rushed to the front fell to the ground one after another.
With the fierce attack of the Fishmen of Ratchet Village, the Kokar centaurs reluctantly fought back with bows and arrows at the beginning, and then completely messed up. The Kokar Centaurs have always used their speed to defeat the enemy in one blow when raiding caravans and manors, or to charge and leave immediately, and positional warfare like this is not their specialty.
"Captain Broken Spear, these fishmen are too powerful for us to resist."
"Retreat!" Broken Spear learned the lesson of the last time, and this time he decisively ordered the team to retreat.
"Kill!"
The broken spear wanted to retreat, but Yang Yi did not allow them centaurs to escape again, and with a wave of the trident in his hand, he ordered the lobsters and fishmen to start charging.
"Ahhh......h
The Fishmen first caused the Lobstermen to rush towards the Centaur team, and the Lobstermen, driven by the Fishmen, screamed and crashed into the Centaurs.
The centaur body is also strong, but it is still not enough to see the lobster man who is more than three meters high, and the centaur team is suddenly hit by the rushing lobster man.
"Wow la-......"
All the fishmen poured out of the flanks of the ranks, except for the shield-wielding and fish-man spearmen, and they rushed towards the retreating centaur team.
The west gate of Ratchet Village is not small, but it is not so easy for these centaurs to escape from the west gate in a short period of time.
By this time, the Virogo Khan of the Centaur tribe had already seen that the situation was unfavorable, and he asked Stonelance to take another team of centaurs to help Broken Spear.
How do you know that the two teams of centaurs met at the gate of the West Gate, and both sides could not advance or retreat.
The centaurs who first attacked Ratchet Village were trapped inside, and they had to fight the Fishmen.
"Stone spear, what's going on?" Virogo Khan realized that something was wrong and immediately ran over.
"Khan, it seems that the people inside want to withdraw from the fish-man village." Stone Lance replied immediately.
"Useless guys, leave them alone. Everyone threw bows and arrows into the walls of the fish-man village and killed the fish-men for me. Verogo decisively ordered.
The centaurs and fishmen inside Ratchet Village are scuffling, and Verogo's order for the centaurs outside to shoot bows and arrows into the walls is undoubtedly regardless of the lives of the centaurs inside.
Following the orders of the Khan of Verrogos, the centaurs outside took out their longbows and began to throw bows and arrows into the village of Ratchet through the wall more than three meters high.
For a time, arrows rained down in the ratchet village.
Under the relentless rain of arrows, both centaurs and fishmen fell.
"Stand back, all back." Yang Yi had no choice but to give the order to retreat.
The battle fishmen of Ratchet Village received the order and began to retreat, away from the western wall and the arrows thrown in from outside the wall.
As the fishmen retreated, the remaining centaurs took the opportunity to escape, and an engagement ended.
At the end of the battle, more than 180 centaur corpses were left in Ratchet Village, and even the broken spear was lost in the pile of centaur corpses, and the Ratchet Fighting Fishmen also suffered more than 80 casualties.
"Long live the village chief! Long live Ratchet Village! ”
Successfully driving off the invading Kokar centaurs, the Battle Fishmen of Ratchet Village began to cheer.
"Old blind, get them ready, the Kokar Centaurs could have a second round of offense at any time." Yang Yi commanded the old blind eye in cheers.
When the battle ended and the fighting fishmen in the village began to cheer for victory, Yang Yi did not feel the blood brought by the war, his heart only felt the cruelty and ruthlessness of the war.
On West Avenue outside Ratchet Village, a dozen Kokar centaurs who escaped stared blankly. The invasion of Ratchet Village left them with indelible memories of pain, and they could barely answer the question of the tribal khan.
"Khan, the broken spear has been killed." Stonelance reports to Verogo that he has been fighting against Broken Spear for a long time, but at this point he suddenly feels a sense of kinship.
"All those who died on the battlefield are the heroes of our Kokar centaur clan, this is the glory of the Kokar centaur warriors, there is no need to grieve for them." Verogo said. "Now what we have to do is avenge the heroes of the tribe."
"Khan, tell us what to do now."
"We will avenge the heroes of our tribe."
Stonelance and the other Kokar centaurs listened to Verrogo's words, and their morale slowly rose again.
"Prepare the flaming arrows, if those fishmen continue to hide and can't come out, they will burn this fish-man village." Verogo ordered.
Verogo was experienced in combat and knew that it would be too expensive to force his way into the Fish-Man Village, so he came up with a way to attack it with fire.
Arson was a common practice for the Kokar Centaurs after their raids, and the centaurs were ordered to take out the oil and flint and steel, and they were ready to burn the Fish-Man Village to the ground. (To be continued......)
