The centaur khan who invaded the village of Lena hesitated and worried about the dilemma.

But if he knew the fate of the centaur tribe in Dink Village, which had penetrated into the heart of Praley's territory, he might have been glad he had been.

Rewind the clock about twelve hours, the night before the village of Lena was attacked by centaurs......

Because of the different times of departure, the locations of the villages to be rushed to are also different. Liu Tianyu and his party arrived in Lena Village on the morning of the second day after their departure, and they would catch up with the first wave of attacks launched by the centaur tribes that attacked there. Nguyen Kun Peng and his party, who had gone first, arrived near Dink Village before the sun went down in the evening, and rested in the woods a few miles away from the camp of the centaur tribe that attacked there.

The troops led by Lord Neo lurked cautiously in the woods. When night falls, the canopy of the trees in the forest obscures the moonlight from the night sky, making it almost impossible to reach the five fingers in the forest. Under such visual conditions, human vision is naturally greatly affected. In addition, it was early spring, and the nights were still very cold. However, in order not to expose their targets, the sergeants of the Rog Knights did not dare to light a fire to keep warm, nor could they bury the pot to cook, so they could only wrap themselves in the blankets they carried with them and nibble on dry and hard bread and jerky to keep warm and satisfy their hunger.

Fortunately, because Ruan Kunpeng and the other four people have storage space, they always carry a large number of delicacies with them, including grilled fragrant barbecue and craft wine. Because there is no such thing as time lapse in the dimensional storage space, the ingredients stored in it will not deteriorate, and the food that is stored in the storage space as soon as it is ready can still keep it steaming when it was first prepared. There are a lot of such foods stored in the storage space of Ruan Kunpeng and the four of them, and the amount each person carries is enough for himself to eat for more than half a month.

At this time, the four of them generously distributed the food to the soldiers of the Rogge Knights who had arrived together. Each sergeant was given a palm-sized piece of roast meat, and a glass of spirits. The barbecues are hot and steaming, and the spirits are all brandy or whiskey. The sergeants happily ate their food, and the abundance of food ensured the morale of the troops.

"Thank you so much for your generosity." Neo expressed his gratitude to Ruan Kunpeng and others. "Alas, I didn't expect that in order to cooperate with our colleagues in the village to flank these centaurs, we had to temporarily lurk here. I didn't prepare the corresponding materials in advance, and I almost missed the big thing......"

It turned out that in the evening, the reinforcements led by Lord Neo had arrived near the village of Dink. In order not to alarm the retreating centaurs, Lord Neo arranged for his troops to hide in the woods for the time being, while he and Nguyen Kun Peng, who came with him, carefully infiltrated Dink Village and met with Luna Maria stationed in the village.

After a brief discussion, the group decided to take advantage of the centaur tribe's unstable foothold and carry out a night attack in the second half of the night. At this time, the position of the defenders and support troops of Dink Village happened to be in the position of horns, holding back the Centaur tribe that retreated and camped. Moreover, the current strength of the Rogge Knights is about the same as that of the centaur tribe that has lost nearly 100 people, but in terms of physical strength, it is much more abundant than the other party. Coupled with the fact that the centaur side was the attacker, it is estimated that he would never have dreamed that the humans would launch a counterattack. There is mental calculation and unintentional, and there is unpreparedness for an attack, and the chance of winning a night attack is very high.

Therefore, Neo did not take any further action after returning to his troops, but arranged for his troops to carefully lurk at night, preparing for a night attack on the Centaur tribe camp. It's just that due to the hasty formulation of the plan, the supplies carried by the reinforcements did not have a camp tent for camping in the field, and it almost went wrong. Fortunately, Ruan Kunpeng and others came with them this time and divided the materials they carried, which finally solved the predicament of the team led by Neo.

In the middle of the night.

At some point, dark clouds obscured the moonlight, and only a faint glimmer of starlight could be seen in the sky. It's just that these few starlights are not enough to provide illumination.

In the camp of the centaur tribe half a mile away from Dink Village, the centaur warriors on night duty are staring at the direction of Dink Village, which is hundreds of meters away, beware of the human defenders in the village who will sneak attack at night.

The centaur warrior who acted as a sentinel felt a little uneasy in his heart for some reason, and always felt that there was something strange.

The centaur warrior glanced in the direction of Dink Village from afar—the village in the distance was still the same, there was no movement at all, only the light of the torches shining through the battlements of the wall showed that there was still human activity there.

Still, the centaur warrior felt that something was wrong.

Because it's so quiet.

Too quiet?

Although it was only early spring, there was already insect activity on the meadows. Although the night weather is still cold, there are still some frost-resistant insects that chirp. So it is impossible for the grass to be so quiet at this time.

But tonight, the centaur warriors on duty didn't hear a single insect chirp.

Thinking of this, the centaur warrior lifted the battle axe in his hand, and with his instincts from years of killing, he could sense the danger approaching. He was secretly prepared to alert anyone who noticed anything unusual in the direction of the human village.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the centaur warrior on duty felt a pain in his heart, and then a human figure appeared in front of him. I saw that the man was holding a long sword that was only more than two fingers wide, and the tip of the long sword directly pierced the leather armor of the centaur, piercing the centaur in half.

The centaur who was hit hard by the blow wanted to open his mouth in horror to shout, but saw the man "brush" and draw his long sword, and slash his neck. Then the centaur felt a chill in his neck, and then his lungs could no longer breathe in a breath of air. He could only convulse and fall to the ground clutching his throat, making a 'gurgling' sound from his mouth, trying to shout loudly but unable to make any loud noises to alert his people to danger.

What's going on? How did this person end up in front of his eyes? Why didn't I find out about his existence all along?

With unwilling doubts, the centaur sentry's consciousness began to blur.

The figure that appeared was none other than the 'Sword Saint' Shi Jinxin, and after using the 'Wind Walk' to sneak up in front of the centaur sentry, Shi Jinxin directly pierced the centaur in the chest with a thrust. Originally, he wanted to pierce the opponent's heart with a sword, but he didn't expect that although the centaur's heart was on the left chest like a human, the specific position was slightly off. Shi Jinxin's sword only stabbed the other party seriously but did not stab him to death, if he hadn't reacted quickly and quickly withdrew his sword and cut the opponent's throat, then when the other party sent a warning, tonight's night attack plan would have been completely blown up.
