After a beautiful sleep, Old Tang opened his eyes again, the sun was no longer as hot as it was at noon, and was reluctantly moving towards the west, and the barren land had always been a dry wasteland, and at this moment it finally ushered in the last cool time of the day.

The temperature is no longer scorching at noon, and the abundant animal resources of the barren land are beginning to show off to travelers. Not only did the lazy lions begin to refresh themselves and prepare to hunt for dinner; The fast-pacing zebras dressed in "black and white striped suits" also spread their hooves and ran happily on the somewhat withered yellow grass; Occasionally, a few huge thunder lizards walked in all directions, leisurely roaming the wasteland.

These behemoths are not only burly and powerful, but they can also breathe out the lightning breath of talent, which is really not easy to mess with. As the species at the top of the food chain of this wasteland, whether it is a lion, a velociraptor or a xenomorph scorpion, they will be careful not to touch their brows, and even the ferocious indigenous intelligent races such as centaurs and wild boar people will not put them on the hunt list if they are not at the extreme of food shortage.

At this moment, at the corner of the foothills, under the leadership of more than a dozen Kodo beasts in their prime, a group of nearly 100 Kodo beasts was slowly walking by. The earth around them shook and shook under their heavy steps.

In the Kodo beast group, there are a few restless little guys who seem to be very curious about the combat Kodo beasts in the raiding force, who are full of armor. Boldly sneaking away from his mother's sight, he briskly ran to the foothills where the troops were resting, and carefully looked around a few combat Kodo beasts that were several times taller than them, poking and bumping with the horns that had just emerged from time to time, and then taking a few steps back and tilting his head, looking at the reaction of the combat Kodo beasts with a cute face.

A greedy little guy with gray lines on a white background, who seemed very interested in eating the remaining half of the roasted velociraptor leg in front of the brute horn, carefully touched the brute horn who was lying on the ground to take a nap, secretly bit it, and then whined with satisfaction, but did not want to wake up the brute horn on the side.

The brute horn who was interrupted from his good dreams angrily roared angrily at this, not only disturbing his dreams, but also stealing his own food. As a result, the greedy little guy was so frightened that he turned around and ran away, not forgetting to hold it with his mouth before leaving, the roasted velociraptor leg that was half the size of its head.

The little guy ran into the group with a smoke, threw the barbecue meat in front of an adult mother like a treasure, and then hid behind his mother, and let out a childish roar at the brute horn demonstratively. The angry brute got up and was about to chase after and teach this hateful little robber a lesson.

Old Tang looked at the interesting and loving scene in front of him, got up with a smile and walked to the side of the manjiao, stopped its steps, patted the sharp and thick unicorn of the manjiao comfortingly, and waved his hand to the little guy with childlike playfulness.

"It's a wonderful scene, isn't it? How many centuries we, Shuharu, and Kodomon have lived together, no one can count. These big guys who look vicious are actually usually very docile, just like our Shuharu, never show their hideousness and show off their strength when they are provoked. In this way, I lived in peace and tranquility on this land. But when they are violated, they are furious, and their monstrous anger is by no means something that ordinary people can resist. ”

I don't know when I slipped into the old man of Gunderu* Split Hoof beside Old Tang, looking at the intimate appearance of Old Tang and Manjiao, he said to himself on the side.

"Old man, what happened last night, I" Hearing the old man Gundrew who was silent all the way, he was finally willing to talk to himself, and Old Tang hurriedly wanted to explain to the old man the decision he made last night.

"Goode, needless to say, although I am old, I am not confused. Old man, I know you don't want to, you also struggle, and in the end, you are also thinking about it for the sake of our entire Shuharu, and even go against your heart for this and let go of honor and disgrace. Although I am blind in my left eye, the eyes in my heart are still very accurate, I have experienced so much in this life, what is the essence of who, what kind of person is it, the old man, I know it clearly in my heart. ”

"Good, you're a great boy, much better than my bad old man, unlike in my life, you can only help the tribe by killing centaur scum on the battlefield, and the future Shuharu may have you at the helm. Resourcefulness, the big picture, commanding large-scale battles and whatever, I'm not good at it. To do things, old man, I can only pursue my own heart, and I can't be ruthless, calculating and calculating. ”

"I don't understand the big truth, but the old man has also lived a lot of years, and I still understand the point of 'people live for a lifetime, and they must be right'. This person, only with a good heart, can he live comfortably. Don't be blinded by interests and desires, in order to live happily and comfortably, and Mother Earth will protect you."

"You were right about last night's order, for the sake of the entire Shuharu tribe, for the sake of all the people, there is nothing wrong with you doing this. Don't let this incident affect your path, Goode. Throw away those burdens, just like your own vows, and lead your people to a good life! ”

"Old man, I'm old, and I don't have a few years to live with an old bone, and I still want to live a few years of peace before I die, buy a piece of land, raise a few Kodo beasts, and don't have to worry about our future days. Now I'm counting on you! Don't let me down, old man. The old man said a lot with emotion, raised his hand, and patted Old Tang's shoulder,

"Old man, you are still very tough, you never accept the old, the fight with the centaur a few days ago, Anak still complained to me, saying that there are not as many centaurs you killed!" Goode saw the emotion on the old man's face, and was sincerely relieved to be this amiable and respectable man.

"Haha, old man, it's not okay to be old. Goode, be an upright person, the future belongs to you young people! Old man Gundrew smiled and said a few words, waved his hand, and turned to walk away.

"I will, old man, don't worry, I will definitely bring a bright future to the Minotaur. It's going to get better, I promise. Any enemy who tries to break this tranquility, I, the Titan Power, will crush it. ”

Looking at the old man's distant figure, Lao Tang assured in his heart that this guarantee was so firm and so categorical.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

―

The barren land was desolate at night, and under the quiet night sky, Lao Tang and more than 200 strong men of the raiding detachment were galloping on the wasteland. The tremor brought by the gallop of the combat Kodo beast startled the small animal that had fallen asleep early, and the probe probed to check it.

Old Tang and his soldiers first experienced a battle of raiding the camp of the wild boar people last night, and then slaughtered the women and children of the wild boar people in the struggle. After an afternoon of rest and relaxation, the warriors of the raiding detachment finally regained their body and morale. The marching procession was no longer as gloomy and lifeless as it had been in the morning.

Violent Niu and Xiao Zhengtai, riding the Kodo beast, followed closely behind Lao Tang, constantly fighting with their mouths, you and I said a word, and it was lively when I said it, so that Xiao Nizi, the eagle-like man sitting in Lao Tang's arms, didn't look back. Hearing something interesting, giggles for a while. Bane Bloodhoof sat down, his head covered in red spots, and the back of the Combat Kodo Beast kept sketching on the map of the Barrens, very focused, and turned his head from time to time, respectfully asking the old man Gundrew and the always steady Jon* Star Eye beside him.

Old man, after a conversation with Lao Tang in the afternoon, he also returned to his old appearance, kind and kind, talkative and funny. From time to time, he pointed out the negligence and mistakes that Bain understood.

In this way, the entire raid detachment, more than 200 fierce Kodo beast cavalry, galloped all night, and finally came to the Oasis of the Forgotten Pool before dawn, and the predetermined meeting place met with the advance force brigade.

Not far from the oasis, a few druids and hunter sentries lurking on the side showed up and led the raid detachment that had been galloping all night to the camp in the oasis.

Old Tang sent the eagle-man Xiao Nizi to follow his younger brother Anak back to eat and freshen up, and rode his own horns to the tent of the Chinese army. Nodding to the two minotaur guards at the door, he lifted the curtain and walked in.

In the tent, the iron-blooded veteran, Jaywan*Terror Totem, was rubbing his temples with his hands, looking at the map on the table, instead of picking up a quill and writing and drawing on the map. The huge totem pole is as simple as a pestle on the ground beside him.

"What's wrong, General Jaywane? What's the problem? Old Tang, who walked in, saw the appearance of the veteran, and couldn't help asking.

"Mother Earth bless, you're back, Good." Hearing Old Tang's voice, he finally raised his head, stepped forward and gave Old Tang a big hug.

"Mission accomplished? Well, it's naturally no problem for you to go out in person. I'm having a headache for yesterday's big event, you're back just in time, I can finally be completely relaxed, and I'll leave these troubles to your nimble head to figure out. ”

I can see that I don't know what troublesome things have tortured this experienced veteran on the battlefield enough, and at this moment, I was very relieved to see Lao Tang, the main master, the real commander of the advance force, come back.

"Huh? What's giving you such a headache? Looking at the Jayvahn * Terror Totem, with a relieved look, Old Tang asked suspiciously, beating the drum in his heart, wondering if there was something wrong with the plan?

"Yesterday, the scouts came to report, first a regular centaur army of unknown origin, more than 200,000 people, stationed in the Sweet Water Oasis, after a short rest, plus half of the men of the previous centaur camp, formed a large army, and last night it has advanced in the direction of Stone Claw Mountain, the migration force of the tribesmen."

"Judging from the banner, it seems to be the elite of the five major clans of centaurs. I have sent three separate waves of messengers to report to the Grand Chief of Kane, and at this point I think they have received the news and are ready for battle. The iron-blooded veteran Jayvane, with a lot of brains, told the "big event" to Old Tang as it was.

"More than 200,000? The five major centaur clans all sent elites? It could only have come from a bleak place. Most of the barren lands were filled with scattered centaur raiders of the Kokar clan, and even the Galak centaur clan with the Thousand Needles Stone Forest couldn't muster so many regular centaur troops. ”

"But what's going on? Aren't they fighting in the midst of a bleak place? How can they send troops together? Do you also know exactly where the migratory army is? And the boar people of Razor Heights and Razor Swamp just let them pass through their territory? They didn't have a conflict? ”

Hearing this shocking news, even the old Tang, who had always been prescient and unfazed, also lost his mind for a moment, and after thinking carefully for a while, he asked full of doubts.

Old Tang, whose brain was running rapidly, had a vague idea after a while, although the information was insufficient, he couldn't be sure. But this speculation is also roughly the same. I am afraid that this big event is not a chain reaction caused by my own butterfly effect.

This elite centaur army is almost the centaur pursuit force in history that made Thrall and Kane fight against each other, fought with the minotaur and orc alliances, and indirectly contributed to the formation of the new tribe. It's just that because he led the Minotaurs to evacuate the desolate place two years ahead of schedule with a small sacrifice, they also appeared in advance, and the army was stronger than in history.

As for why the centaur clans, which were originally fighting under Old Tang's calculations, would come to their senses, free up their manpower, and turn the spearhead to pursue and kill the migratory troops towards the Minotaurs. Old Don thought of a place that he had been neglecting -- Maraton. In that chaotic situation, I am afraid that only the few Centaur who have been living in Maradon can suppress the battle of the Centaur clans, and bite the migratory Minotaur troops to the outside.

As for why the boar people who lived in the thorns let it go, the centaur army set foot on the barren land so lightly, I am afraid that it was also a good thing for those oracles in the Razor Heights and Razor Swamp.

Although there are only a few recognized prophets in Azeroth, it does not mean that other races do not have similar professions. It's just that most of them are revered and worshipped by the tribe with titles such as oracles and priests.

In the world of Azeroth, demigods and gods are not ethereal, but real, and even the soul is immortal and immortal, and they are called immortals. Such a powerful being, even if it is only a few words of his own believers, will undoubtedly help the ethnic group to avoid many catastrophes of annihilation and the calamity of the ethnic group.

Looking back now, the strange actions of the boar people and the pursuit of centaurs should all be indispensable, and they were pointed at by the big men who worshiped the faith of their followers. Old Tang smiled bitterly, there is no time more hope than now, the Minotaur, Mother Earth, who is always on the lips of the tribesmen, can also show up to guide herself, help the tribesmen through the crisis, and "fool" the Shuharu tribe.

Don, who got rid of the boring thoughts in his head and had a headache for the situation in front of him, began to concentrate on thinking about ways to solve and survive the crisis.

That's more than 200,000 elite centaur troops! You must know that the entire remaining Minotaur is only a little over a million, and the regular army is just over 80,000 full. If this is really a hard-fought battle, even if the Minotaur warriors are strong in combat, brave in battle, and well-equipped, they will definitely suffer heavy losses, and even if they win, they will only win a difficult and miserable victory.

Such a situation is something that Old Tang will never allow to happen. For the sake of his oath and faith, Don Sr. must change this unfavorable situation. And the way to do this is to completely muddy the waters of the upcoming Battle for the Barrens. Since the wild boar people want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, Old Tang will not let them take advantage of it as they wish. Since you want to fight, let's fight together!

Old Tang, whose thinking is gradually clear and his mood is gradually firm, is determined to make a big deal this time, and break his wrists with these other two aboriginal forces in the Barren Land and Kalimdor! Even if it is those powerful beings who are hidden behind the scenes, Lao Tang must calculate carefully, let them pay some interest, hurt it well, have a long memory, and don't come to fight the idea of the Minotaur in the future.

Old Tang, who thought clearly, made up his mind. Immediately, it switched to a vigorous "strong form". The golden sword of the horse sat on the main seat of the camp tent, and called out to the guards at the door:

"Guards! Tell me the overseer generals, the whole army of the advance army is preparing for battle, set off tomorrow morning, tonight you will have enough meat and wine, and tomorrow you will start preparing for a series of battles! ”

"Order, all commanders with the rank of 'warrior' (here the tribal rank) and above in the camp will immediately come to the Chinese military camp tent to gather, and those who do not arrive within ten minutes will be served by military law!"

Looking at a few heralds, after receiving the order, quickly moved around the camp to convey the order. Old Tang buried his head, carefully looked at the map on the table, and muttered to himself:

"This time, let's play big!"
