Chapter 20: The Opening Battle of the Barren Lands (2)
Old Tang's loud shout spread throughout the entire battlefield that had just been soaked in blood.
The only remaining big tree on the Gobi is rooted in this small wasteland, and the foliage is luxuriant and conspicuous in this small wasteland. Coming to the tree, Lao Tang jumped off the broad and solid back of the "brute horn" vigorously, sat in the shade of the tree, and quietly waited for several backbone members of the advance team.
After a while, baking and drying like a furnace in the barren land, several figures were galloping towards the battle Kodomon. Even though it was almost dusk, the still scorching sun was still spreading light and heat on this dry land. Several figures were galloping, and in this strong sunlight, the shadows behind them were stretched out.
"Brother, what's the matter? Got a task? "Old Tang's violent cow brother, Anak * Terror Totem, is still the same, and he began to yell impatiently from afar. And the druid little Zhengtai, who also rode a particularly tall combat Kodomon, followed closely behind the violent ox.
Xiao Zhengtai, who was originally shy, Cole * Rune Totem, since he met the friend of Violent Cow, his temperament has become cheerful and jumpy little by little, and he has become more and more like a child who has just reached the rebellious period. Originally, after the disbandment of the army, Xiao Zhengtai was taken home by his uncle Hamuel, and when he left, he pitifully wanted the two old Tang brothers to intercede for him to stay, but they were ignored by the unscrupulous old Tang brothers.
This time, Don once again accepted the task of going deep behind enemy lines and regathering the warriors under his command. Xiao Zhengtai saw that there was another opportunity to come out to "let off steam", so he immediately actively signed up to participate, and under the helpless and worried expressions of his parents and uncle, he found the violent cow Anak again and got involved.
"Big man, so you and these barbaric subordinates are so good at fighting? Hmph, your combat power is so strong, and you used intrigues and tricks to deal with this queen's tribe at the beginning, you are really despicable and sinister, hum! This queen despises you! As he spoke, a tall figure wearing a demonic cloth robe, fluttering his wings, rushed at Old Tang, who was not the previous tsundere eagle figure Xiao Nizi. A glorious victory of 3,000 vs 10,000 came down, which surprised the eagle-man Xiao Nizi, who had been flying over the battlefield to observe. The Minotaur warriors, the fierce posture of solving the opponent neatly and neatly, is deeply imprinted in Xiao Nizi's mind.
Ignoring Xiao Nizi's taunting skills, which still had not made the slightest progress, Old Tang grabbed Xiao Nizi, a hawkish man who was about to make a fuss when she flew over, and firmly pressed it on the broad back of the "brute horn" who was lazily lying on her stomach. Turning his gaze back to a few of the figures riding Kodomon.
When a few figures came closer, Old Tang slowly turned his gaze and looked at them deeply. With the expansion of the elite under Lao Tang, many new faces will also begin to become warriors under Lao Tang. And at this moment, in front of Old Tang, there are two of them.
Master Gudal * Barbarian Mane, in the end, is old, following the previous broken army, and the centaur chaser, bloody battle for seven days and seven nights; Day and night, chasing the migratory army non-stop, after all, after relaxing, he was exhausted. This time, Lao Tang led the leading troops to go deep behind enemy lines, and Master Gudal was originally ready to travel with his illness to contribute to the safe migration of the entire Minotaur tribe. In the end, after all, he was persuaded by Lao Tang and a group of people to stay in the army and take care of his body with peace of mind. However, before Don left, Master Goodard recommended him to a brilliant young man who had been learning the ways of shamans and ancestors from him, Jon Stareye.
Jon Star-Eyed is a very talkative young man, meticulous in his work, very kindly, Master Goodard, with a calm and steady demeanor. When he first heard this name, Old Tang was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it all the time. On the eve of the gathering, the old Tang with doubts flipped through his scroll and filled the "prophet scroll" with Chinese characters to memorize the memories of later generations.
Isn't this Jon*Star Eye the same one from the future Taurazu camp? When Old Tang's warrior was still roaming in the barren land, he had received several tasks from him, and he still had some impressions of this minotaur shaman who led the Taurazu camp.
As for the one next to Jon * Stareye, he is an out-and-out "second generation official" who can be called a popular character in later generations - Bane * Bloodhoof, the son of Kane, and the new Grand Chief of the Minotaur after the Cataclysm.
In the past few years, Lao Tang has also come into contact with several "**" of the Minotaur, different from the "second generation of officials, the second generation of rich" who are spoiled and most of them have degenerated into gentlemen in the Celestial Empire, the younger generation of these Minotaurs, although they have different personalities, are not boring, but they are tutored, and the elder brother is very promising.
For example, the violent cow Anak, the little nephew of Mama Magatha, the terror totem chieftain, although a little reckless and violent, but the heart and eyes are not bad. Coupled with the courage of battle, he has been fighting on the centaur battlefield in the bleak land with Lao Tang, killing countless enemies. Therefore, the violent cow with a bit of a big grin is still a good young man in the eyes of the clansmen; There is also a druid Xiaozheng Taikol * rune totem, his uncle is the think tank of the entire Minotaur tribe and the second leader Hamuel, in the eyes of Old Tang, he is still just a half-grown man who has just entered the rebellious period, some shy, some playful, without the slightest condescension, and even innocence is worrying. And with his superb druid spells, he also contributed his strength on the battlefield against his enemies.
As for Bane's * Bloody Hoof in front of him, it made a good impression on Old Tang. At a young age, he is very fatherly. Inheriting the wisdom and courage of his father Kane * Bloodhoof, and occasionally some young and enthusiastic Bane, in just a few days of contact, he left a very good sense on Old Tang.
And Bane Bloodhoof also has a good impression of this, the iconic figure of the younger generation who is often talked about by his father, the new generation hero Goode * Titan Power * Terror Totem with great achievements, and after a few days, under the deliberate friendship of the two, they get along very well, and they feel a little late to see each other.
"Okay, don't be so polite, since it's all here, let's talk about business first." Goode interrupted the salute of several people with a wave of his hand, and began to introduce the situation and assign tasks.
"This time I am going to form an assault detachment to capture some wild boar people and prisoners, so as to facilitate the layout of the plan later. I personally led the group, and I asked a few of you to come with me, so that I was going to go with me. This quest requires interspersing with the vicinity of the Boar Man Steelmane Clan, which may be dangerous, and you can opt out if you don't want to. β
Lao Tang only asked a routine question, not to mention the violent cow, the master who feared that the world would not be chaotic, and Xiao Zhengtai, who liked to stimulate children's hearts, although the remaining two only had a short contact, Lao Tang could also tell that they were not people who were afraid of things.
"Okay, brother, don't ask such a non-nutritious question, hurry up and explain the task, isn't it just a few wild boar people, who is afraid of what happens to them? I've cleaned them all up with an axe! Sure enough, as soon as Lao Tang finished asking, the violent cow was a little heartless, said impatiently, and eagerly turned the giant axe in his hand.
These people in front of them, after all, are still teenagers, and it is the time to worship heroes and like challenges. Now that I have the opportunity to carry out such a dangerous mission, everyone is a little geared up, and naturally there will be no withdrawal. Seeing several other people, they also nodded firmly, looking a little excited, Lao Tang pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly, and began to assign tasks.
"In that case, Anak, Bane, you two go and gather two squads of brethren, half warrior and half hunter. Cole and Jon each selected ten shamans and druids to accompany them. Twenty minutes later, assemble under this tree. Go for it!"
A few people excitedly took the order and left, leaving Old Tang and the Harpy girl still hiding in the shade of the tree. Xiao Nizi, who was pressed by Lao Tang on the brute horn and had been aggrieved for a long time, seized the opportunity at this moment and threw herself on Lao Tang's strong and broad back, while shouting loudly:
"You big savage man, you want to die, treat this queen like this! Capture the captives, I'm going too, I want to take a good look at how these pigs' heads were framed by you! Big man, if you don't take me there, this queen will tear you apart and feed the lizards! β
Old Tang, who was entangled by the eagle-like little Nizi, listened to the fierce declaration of the tsundere little queen, shrugged his shoulders, tore off the little Nizi lying on his back, dragged it in front of his eyes and said: "You really want to go, this is not what I begged you to go, you can go, but you must listen to my orders!" Can it be done? β
"Hmph, this queen will listen to your command this time. Hey, big man, how are you going to catch those pigs' heads? Revealing and revealing is a big deal, okay? Seeing that Old Tang nodded, the eagle-clad little Nizi began to tweet about the specific details
Twenty minutes later, the assault detachment, all on standby, assembled under the tree. More than 200 fierce minotaur warriors riding the Kodo beast were neatly lined up and had a hideous momentum. Facing the iron-blooded veteran guarding the side, Jayvahn * Terror Totem nodded, Old Tang turned over and stepped onto the brute horn beside him, pulled the eagle-like little Nizi to sit in front of him, and spit out two words loudly to the members of the assault team: "Go!" β
With that, he pulled the reins of the brute horn and galloped towards the settlement of the steel-maned boar clan. Behind him, more than 200 hideous and mighty Minotaur men followed, and the dull footsteps of the Kodo beast echoed for a long time in the wasteland of the barren land.
βββββββββββββββββββββββI'm the dividing line of the raid detachmentββββββββββββββββββββ-
The Barren Land is a barren wasteland of overgrown vegetation. It is bounded by Rocktalon to the west, Durontal to the east, the meadows and flat-topped hills of Mogaure to the southwest, and the dusty swampy wetlands to the southeast.
Most of the area is made up of the vast wilderness of the Gobi. Hot air from the mountains to the west formed a whirlwind that ran rampant throughout the plains. These great storms incite the sand and dust demons to tear anything but the tenacious bushes to shreds.
From Durotar on the east coast through the desert to the bleak south-west - a region of death crisis, and not just because of the wild natives like the raging centaurs and boar people.
In the Barren Lands, water is more important than gold, and the location of the caves where the water hides is considered one of the most important secrets by the inhabitants. This barren rocky and sandy region has a dry climate, and the heat and lack of water can kill you as quickly as jumping off a cliff at Rock Claw. Those foolish travelers who don't bring enough water won't be able to cross this barren land, and they may end up being fed by wild beasts.
It stands to reason that this barren land has no value to compete for, the vegetation is not dense, and the minerals are only scattered copper ore and associated minerals. But you can't ignore the abundant animal resources of the barren land, and the transportation and military value of the special geographical location.
Despite its unpleasant terrain and unfriendly natives, the Barren Lands were favored by the Alliance and the Horde as well as the native Kalimdor in later generations. Trade routes crisscross the land, and the famous Golden Route runs north to south through the barrens, and there are rumors of rich treasures and ancient ruins waiting to be mined by the brave.
And now, before Old Tang and the Minotaur set foot here, the land belonged to two savage and cruel intelligent populations, centaurs and boar people. And the target of the raid detachment led by Lao Tang on this trip was those ferocious creatures that resembled erect wild boars.
These ferocious fellows are no better than the feuding centaurs of the Minotaurs. These primitive, bold, belligerent, and murderous creatures have a great ability to recover, and they haunt the fringes of other races' spheres of influence, terrorists and killers, and carry out bloody raids on weaker settlers.
In later generations, these guys also invaded the minotaurs. When it came to the cataclysm, it was directly killed by Mogaolei, and many Minotaur warriors sacrificed their lives bravely and generously in the battle to defend their homeland. Therefore, Lao Tang did not have a little burden on his heart when calculating these brutal creatures, let alone be merciful.
Old Tang led more than 200 heavily armed Minotaur warriors, who had ridden to fight the Kodomon, galloping for more than three hours on the wasteland of the barren land. Relying on the strong reconnaissance ability brought by the flight advantage of the harpy Xiao Nizi, Old Tang commanded his soldiers to skillfully and thrillingly avoid several teams of centaur raider patrols and boar hunter scouts again and again. Finally arrived at their destination before nightfall, a small settlement of the Steelmane Boar Clan.
In this small camp, teams of boar warriors patrol back and forth. From time to time, I saw a few wild boar people weaving thorns, walking slowly, and loudly instructing a few strong boar people in the language of the wild boar people to carry firewood, apparently preparing to make a fire. There are also boar hunters with crude bows and crossbows, leading a wild boar pet and patrolling around the camp.
At this time, outside the vigilance range of the wild boar people, Old Tang and Bane were quietly lurking in the shadow of a small mound, carefully observing the vigilance arrangement of the wild boar people, finding out their reality and preparing for the smooth action at night. In the sky, under the order of Old Tang, Xiao Nizi, a reluctant hawk-figure, was also cautiously lurking from outside the range of the wild boar people, observing the approximate number of this group of wild boar people.
After a long time, Old Tang and Bane finally waited for the eagle man Xiao Nizi to finish scouting, and slowly flew back. After getting up, Old Tang looked back at the brightly lit boar people settlement where the bonfire was lit, turned to the two people beside him and said:
"Let's retreat, go back and sort out the information, and take this place tonight!"
