Chapter 53: The Centaur Chieftain
The skies on the outskirts of Vitan were not quiet that day.
It was a small bazaar outside the ore mining area, and it was also the address of many shady trading conventions.
After all, it is far away from the city, and there is only a dilapidated shed area around, which will leave traces when coming and going, and it is difficult to achieve an ambush, which can effectively avoid being hacked and eaten by black.
Of course, even so, there is still a mass grave here dedicated to burying the unfortunate ones who think they are safe but are still lying here.
The residents here are accustomed to ignoring the sight of the two sides of the transaction fighting.
At this moment, another deal was not negotiated, and the two sides directly caused a conflict, and if you insist on finding some differences, it can only be said that the standard of this conflict is relatively high
The wounded ancient red dragon was wailing, the wide window of its abdomen was dripping blood, and its wings were so entangled in black spider silk that it could not be spread at all.
"I want to eat it, but Abba won't allow it"
A huge eight-legged spider with a strange venom haunted her, and the venom could not help but paralyze her flesh, and she was so dizzy that she couldn't leave the ground.
"Greenspan! If you cringe any longer, the agreement will be null and void. We, the kingship, will take revenge on you to the end. Or, do you think you're as strong as Adams and as good as Reinhardt in terms of strategy, and you can go to war with us. Believe it or not, you don't have to go back to Ciro, there will only be ten consuls left of the twelve consuls in the future! β
The roar of the Azure Bone Dragon in mid-air made the two undead archons who were cowering with determination.
"Desolate Ant Plain!"
With the roar of the Ant King Ramsden, the world of his mental image was activated, the whole world was replaced, and the seriously injured Dragon Queen Moriel was pulled into the rotten plain.
"Squeak." "Silk." An eerie sound squirmed beneath the plains, making people instinctively feel threatened.
And then, one after another ant nests were opened, and the brown giant ant soldiers came out of it, just looking at the individuals, they were not strong, but the endless number was the most terrifying.
The underground of the wasteland has been hollowed out, and under the hollows are ancient alien kingdoms in the form of ants, and with the summoning of their kings, countless soldier ants have opened their burrows. They were soldiers and servants in front of the king, but this time the ghostly fire burning in the turquoise pupils showed that they were also part of the undead legion.
Ramsden was the ancient king of the Zerg, and when his remnants were resurrected as undead, his kingdom was resurrected.
Although his body has long been decayed and his strength has been greatly reduced by the long years ago, his endless people are still his pride.
Soldier ant warriors raise strange spears and wooden shields, shout slogans, and launch a senseless charge, the giant elephant ants the size of a hill are their war monsters, the flying ant non-commissioned officers start the death bombardment with acid poison sac bombs, and the queen ant who stands at the end begins to unleash the dark sorcery that has been lost in history.
The mighty dragon queen fell into the siege of the ant colony, she trampled one to death, and ten more came, she spewed hundreds of flying ants to death with a mouthful of dragon breath, but thousands came immediately, and the annoying death curse and dark magic were even more deadly and dangerous.
None of the undead archons are easy to deal with, and Ramsden, who has weak individual combat power, has an extremely strong mental image world, but this powerful mental image world called "Desolate Ant Field" consumes him too much, and he usually doesn't dare to use it, so his ranking is low.
"Humph! Fool who feeds on the world of heart, if Adams hadn't entangled the dragon, she would still be able to fly, and first she would have been injured and forcibly killed you. Fools, individual strength is fundamental. β
Goliath is indeed telling the truth, strong battle races such as the Undead Monarch and the Dragon Clan, due to their extremely strong talents, but limit the exploration of their own paths, while the talent combat power is amazing, it often means that the acquired skills are low, but for them, in the face of fragile mortals, just their own flesh is enough.
Even in the eyes of some extremists, the fact that mortals must practice to reach the heights of fighting them proves that their bodies are strong and noble, and that if they need strength, they only need to fight for it from time and blood, and that practicing and learning this kind of thing has nothing to do with themselves.
Of course, there are not a few people like Ainmetheus, although they are ancient red dragons, but they have reached the terrifying realm in the two major magical realms of fire and air at the same time.
But Xiaohong is a minority after all, relying on the physical capital to eat, sleep lazy, and wait for time to evolve, which is the common dragon clan, many dragons don't even have their own soul emblem, but just fighting for terrible physical conditions and basic abilities (basic attributes), it is not difficult to tear apart a few legendary warriors.
In terms of undead monarchs, many naturally powerful undead monarchs also behave, and Adam is a monster with no realm at all, but even human demigods must be careful in the face of him.
Well, our Lord Goliath will not admit that she is very envious of this powerful mental image world because she does not have a mental image world at all, especially since this mental image world has been praised and recognized by someone.
"Hmph, what is the closest to the realm of the Undead Emperor in the mental image world. It's just because he is the same type of mental image world as the Great Emperor, so he is looked down on by two points. What's the use of the mental image world that can only last for three minutes, you see, it will be revealed so quickly. β
The situation of the battle changed again, and Ramsden, who was panting for breath, finally couldn't maintain the mental image world, and while this false world faded and shattered, the wounded dragon queen began to counterattack.
And Greenspan was in front of Ramsden, he was extremely strong in individual hand-to-hand combat, just enough to make up for the shortcomings of the ant king, they were such partners in the past, but this time, judging from the black shadow that suddenly fell in the sky, there was no chance for him to make a move.
"Die!"
Goliath swooped, a deadly phosphorus poison dragon breathed, and the earth turned into a cyan sea of fire, this poisonous flame is extremely vicious, if it sticks, it will directly drill into the bones and burn, even Moriel, in the face of the dangerous sea of fire, can only retreat.
And her dodge gave Adam a chance, and the spider form that represented the restraint turned into a dark green big-mouthed monster in a burst of distortion, and the deformed troll with only one mouth left in its entire body, jumped up with its frog-like legs, opened a bloody mouth that was enough to devour the mountains, and actually planned to swallow the dragon queen directly!
"It's not eating, it's attacking!" For the sake of food, Adam has a rare enlightenment.
At stake, the dragon queen took one last look at her wings, which were still corroded by spider silk, twisted her body, and actually retreated a few points in the air in a strange attitude.
"Ahh Even so, in the next second, the dragon's blood and scream flew sideways together, and the dragon queen was hit hard.
Adamna took a bite, and the two dragon wings were directly reimbursed, but the dragon queen smiled.
"It's finally time to take off."
The ruthless dragon queen actually took the initiative to break the wrist of the strong man and gave her wings to Adam, and after losing the binding magic on the spider silk, she had the ability to fly again, although it would be more difficult to lose the assistance of the wings, but the dragon clan flew not only with the wings.
The rest of the mana was all used to fly, and the invisible wind dragged the dragon's injured overweight body and thrust her upwards.
At all costs, the speed was actually faster than the previous full speed, even without the assistance of the wings, for the red dragon, who was the best at flying among the dragons, it was not difficult to get rid of the bone dragon, which was known for its sluggishness and slowness.
Her abacus is excellent, but
βOuchοΌ Who is so immoral, forcing his eyes to fly around!! β
The dragon queen Moriel, who was in a hurry to escape, accidentally bumped into a giant dragon that "happened to pass by", if it was an ordinary young dragon (within ten meters), she would be knocked away by the dragon queen if she didn't give way, but what she bumped into was an ancient red dragon of the same level (more than thirty meters)!
"Fly with your eyes closed, change lanes at will, drive in the opposite direction, and the flight traffic rules you learn there are not afraid of deducting 12 points at a time. Revoke your pilot's license. β
The ancient red dragon, who was full of nonsense, yawned, and then glanced down curiously.
"Oooh. Isn't this my vicious old lady who ruthlessly killed her husband and a son and three daughters for the throne? What's the matter, lonely can't sleep, and walks out for a walk at night? Hehe, everyone is on the same path, fly together? β
And Moriel, who had already been disturbed by the magic and airflow, could only fall straight like an iron ball, and in the end, found that the airflow was all controlled by the opponent, and could not even hang in the air, so she had no choice but to give up the helpless struggle of fanning the remnants of the wings, and fell directly like a stone.
Below, the undead monarchs were sharpening their knives and waiting for her, and in the end, she could only shout helplessly.
"Ain Medesus! You don't have to die well! β
Xiaohong, on the other hand, yawned, turned her head and glided, and continued her walk, leaving only a word.
"Mother, what you taught back then is really right, the howl of the defeated dog is really ugly."
οΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌ
Dark clouds pressed over Vitan, and as the auction approached, the atmosphere in the city became more tense and depressing.
The vast majority of the dungeon lords did not leave with the end of the alliance, and the auction without any publicity had already spread throughout the city, in their eyes, the show had just begun, and the old and new overlords were destined to fight directly at the auction, which would have an impact on the distribution of power in the entire underground world.
A real artifact is to be auctioned, a treasure involving the royal power of Ciro is to be sold, and the intelligence organizations and thieves' unions of various kingdoms are not eating for nothing, and a month is enough time for this news to spread wildly on the ground.
Taking advantage of the proximity to the passage on the ground, the city is already full of strong people from all over the world and all races, at first, the beastmaster did try to block the passage, but soon, it will be found that this is a thankless task, the attraction of the artifact is too amazing, ordinary orc soldiers are meaningless to the strong people passing by, and if they annoy the other party, they will be directly erased.
After the outpost was cleaned up more than a dozen times, even for the sake of the "dignity" of the overlord, the blockade order on the passage was still not revoked, but in fact, the elite soldiers directly under the lord of those outposts have been replaced by the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, of course, the soldiers who were used as cannon fodder are not stupid, they play cards, rub mahjong, fight wine, and do everything in the outpost, but they completely ignore the alien passers-by who should be stopped in front of them, and the so-called blockade order has also become the ears of the blind - ornaments, and the face of the old lion is swept away again.
As the time limit of the auction enters the countdown, not to mention the chaotic creatures of the undead and demons, which are public enemies on the ground, even the order creatures of the upper plane, such as the Blazing Heavenly Divine Envoy and the War Angel, can be seen on the streets, and the most outrageous thing is that the two sides still maintain a certain tacit understanding, but they just stared at each other with tense eyes, and did not go to war directly.
This weird status quo makes people feel that the storm is coming, to be honest, seeing this situation, I think it is really two demigods who came and took a scepter, and they may not be able to bring it out.
The worst thing is probably the alliance between the orc emperor Tao and the dragon queen, obviously, some people don't have the patience to wait for the auction, and the uninvited visitors who directly start to snatch are becoming more and more powerful and ferocious, when the thousand-meter-long Mosgir giant beast is descending at high speed over the city, not to mention the orcs who are at the brunt of it, even I doubt that Vitan will be directly destroyed because of this.
Fortunately, the two underground overlords have brought in their most elite main forces, and after paying a huge price for the manticore knights and the red dragons, they finally repelled the incredible beast that suddenly appeared and disappeared, and when someone was surprised that the dragon queen did not fight in person, there was even more incredible news - the dragon queen Moriel was seriously injured and was dying.
The Dragon Queen has been underground for thousands of years, and her strength can be ranked in the top ten in the entire underground world (there are many individual strong dungeon lords, and the overlord only represents the power), and she is even more famous for her cunning, and it is possible for such a strong person to be defeated far away, and it is too incredible to be made to die soon.
Moreover, if it weren't for the timely arrival of Dragon City's reinforcements, I'm afraid that the underground Dragon City would be able to elect a new Dragon Queen.
The perpetrators were the five Archons of Ciro, why? It is said that the queen of the dragon actually dared to owe the wages of migrant workers, and was beaten and coughed by the contractor who could not get paid, well, there are no migrant workers in this world, and there is no contractor, the fact is that the queen of the dragon bought murder and failed to do so, and did not fulfill the promise of letting the undead lords touch the scepter before they did not fulfill the requirements, and was beaten by the angry undead lords.
However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is the revenge of Brimstone Mountain City, after all, there are only three monarchs who have been repaid, and it is five who have taken revenge, or they will directly attack if they disagree, and there are still contradictions between these undead monarchs, and the smell of conspiracy is too obvious.
And the one who blocked the sky at the critical moment, and made it impossible for the dragon queen to escape, was the Einmeitheus of Belon, who happened to "pass by".
Well, I admit that it was my plan, so Xiaohong, who was able to breathe a sigh of relief, died happily, and she could be regarded as revenge for the resentment of being besieged and beaten in Sulphur Mountain City.
"If we only steal a few small things in retaliation, won't we be underestimated? If you ask the undead archons to attack me as thugs, I will ask them to take revenge on you. "This kind of revenge is completely in line with the hypocritical peace rules of the underground world, and it lets the world know that Brimstone Mountain City is definitely not something that can be underestimated.
The personal strength of the Dragon Queen is undoubtedly the most powerful support of the Dragon Beast Alliance, and when the news of the Dragon Queen's serious injury came back, the already deeply injured orc army was in an uproar, and even the military spirit that did not shake the attack of the giant beast was obviously shaken.
It is said that there were even deserters in the camp that night, this is the first time since Tao Jianjun, the lion king is said to be heartbroken, the last night was white, and now even the lion's mustache on his chin is completely white.
And in the intelligence booth of the insider, what is even more shaken is the arrogant dragon clan, the dragon queen is relying on the murder of her husband to ascend to the throne, can rule the seven dragon cities, relying on her personal strength and coercion, originally the black dragons only regard it as the nominal leader, she can mobilize only the young dragon in the red dragon, now she is defeated, the wall is down and everyone pushes, the young dragon clan in the dragon city is already seeking the opportunity to take the throne, and the old dragons are even more proposed to welcome back the construction of Ainmetheus.
But for me, I was surprised by the sudden visit of the distinguished guests in front of me.
Demon Hunter Miin, the chief of the centaur orcs, a famous epic powerhouse, is a little stronger than Tao in terms of personal strength on the surface, and it is said that he has a very poor relationship with Tao, he combines the skills of the ancestors to create his own magic arrow skills, and is famous throughout the underground world, and I have a bit of a grudge
"Margaret has been taken care of by you, Mi Yin, you dare to appear in front of me, do you really think that you are strong enough to run amok? I'm not afraid we'll take you down. β
In that battle outside Brimstone Mountain, Mirin's magic detonation arrow detonated Margaret's forbidden spell "Ice Age" in advance, and even made three precious philosopher's stones directly reimburse, repaired to an astronomical amount of gold coins, Margaret was angry every time she mentioned this centaur.
A man who is smaller than ordinary horses, has no extra armor except for bronze heart goggles, and the huge longbow behind him is divided into eye-catching eyeballs.
At this point, in the face of my hostile provocation, the old centaur smiled.
"I'm really sorry that time, I happened to negotiate with Tao at that time, but by chance I was taken to Brimstone Mountain, if it wasn't for the terrible forbidden spell, I would have been involved in it, I wouldn't have made a move. After that, I didn't do anything cruel to the Sage, which should prove my sincerity. β
It was obviously a declaration of confidence to the point of arrogance, but I instinctively thought that he was telling the truth, after all, while lamenting that the centaur chief of the anti-beast emperor faction had actually defected to Tao, Margaret had also wondered why he hadn't encountered Misin's best magic power to penetrate the arrow, which also proved that he was indeed telling the truth.
"The whole underworld knows that we are with the savage animals who eat raw meat and drink blood. I am glad to see the loss of Tao and his group of butchers, and if I hadn't been forced to do so, I'm afraid that my gifts and thank-you letters would have been delivered to the house. β
I've really heard of this, the "herbivorous alliance" such as centaurs and minotaurs have a very poor relationship with the current beast emperor Manticore-tailed Lion Tao and his close tribes, while scolding each other as "savage animals that eat raw meat. raw", while scolding the other party as a "hoofed livestock that eats grass", it has long been the norm.
"And what are you here for?"
I thought he'd be going to make a lot of nonsense about "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" and then make a private pact with us, just like the other dungeon lords, but Old Mi Sin shook his head with a wry smile on his face.
"Sleepless, it's all come to this point, what are you pretending to be stupid, let's talk about it, what are the conditions, can you let me meet my niece first!"
"What!?" This tone, this feeling, is like an old rich businessman after his grandson was kidnapped, and finally had no choice but to compromise in the face of the kidnappers.
"Don't be stupid, the old man confessed, I don't know how you know that Anriya is my only relative, the next chieftain candidate of the centaur race, obviously you have been hiding it well for so many years, just say it if you have the conditions, don't go too far, otherwise, the bows and arrows in our hands are not easy to deal with."
"What?!" This time, I'm really scared, that number one unlucky guy lightning rod, that stupid girl with a broken mouth, will actually be the chief candidate of the centaur tribe, if she really becomes the chief, then the whole centaur race will not be finished.
"You don't know, do you?" The intuition of the strong made Mi Sin realize that I didn't mean to be stupid.
"I really don't know! Who's going to think of that stupid girl as an important person. I was stunned, but I smiled and shook my head. But now it's known. β
Immediately, Mi Yin deeply regretted it, and now, he had to pay a lot of extra price for being careless.
"You want to see her, no problem."
But my decisive release surprised him very much, not because I didn't want to take the opportunity to knock on some bamboo poles, but
"You'd better take her quickly, at least, before all our plates are ruined, and many of us had dinner in cups yesterday." Also, do you accept compensation bills here? With the speed at which she destroys, if you pick up late, I think you'd better have some cash on hand. β
These days, we know why Anriya has been fired, even if it is clumsy, the stupid girl who works hard is also very cute, but the luck is so bad that accidents can occur anywhere, wipe the glass and shatter, move the table and collapse the table, and even wipe the floor can encounter the rot and collapse of the floor, which is really uncomfortable.
It's obviously very angry to do something, but seeing the sincere apology with tears, it's obviously too bad luck and unintentional mistakes, and there is really no one who really blames it ruthlessly.
"Take her away. Have you seen the pile of essays on the table? It's all her damage report, and remember to take the bill with you when you get ready. β
Miin, who was also crying and laughing, nodded, but
"I'm not going back!" Surprisingly, it was Anriya who refused to go home directly.
"Why? Could it be the little animals at home? Is life bad for you? Don't worry, your second uncle and grandfather will help you out. Frightened by his niece's refusal, the stunned Mi Yin hurriedly said.
"No, no, my brothers are very good to Anriya, it's just that Anriya doesn't want to stay in the Kam Prairie anymore."
"Why? Could it be that someone is competing with you for the inheritance of the chief, don't worry, as long as I am one day, you will be the first heir! β
"Not anymore. It's not so boring. β
"That?"
"The chief or something, whoever wants to be whom. Anriya just doesn't want to stay in the countryside for the rest of her life, Anriya's goal is to be a city lady. Second uncle and grandfather, you see, there is nothing but grass and livestock in the grassland, no good food, no beauty products, no high-rise streets, no entertainment facilities, and no (more than 300 in the province). β
"Anriya is fed up with the days when she even has to go to the toilet in the grass, Anriya's goal is to be a rich lady in the city, although it was a little uncomfortable at first, but now it's finally on the right track, I don't want to go back. After that kind of dark day, you have to go to bed, and there is no ghost light at night. β
The little centaur talked faster and faster, laughing as he spoke, but the more the old centaur listened, the more ugly his face became, there were many young people who had left the tribe for the luxury of the city recently, but he never expected that his precious niece with high hopes would be like this.
"My brothers and sisters here are very good to me, even if Anriya accidentally makes a mistake, they never reprimand me, and they don't fire me like other bosses at every turn, I want to start here and gain a foothold in the big city! Save your salary, buy a small house, and work hard a little bit, and one day, become a real monopoly! "Enough!! I'm too spoiled with you, you don't deserve to be a descendant of the great centaur hero Mongo, and you are so casual that you have abandoned the tradition of the golden blood of the centaurs. Obviously, the noble blood of the prairie eagle is willing to become a domestic pig to be slaughtered in the fence for the weak life of a coward in the city. You're a centaur shame, come back with me, I'm going to train you well. β
Old Miin dragged the struggling Anriya away, and if it had been a few minutes before, I would have been happy to see it.
But now, hearing the young man's declaration, I was inexplicably reminded of a thief girl who had also come out of the country, and she might have made a similar wish. - "I want to dig up the hidden treasure, become the richest man in the world, and live the life of a rich family!" β
Perhaps, except for the goal, the two girls are obviously not like each other at all, at least Lisa did make a fortune later, and I can't see the possibility of achieving Anriya's goal, but inexplicably, I want to help this girl.
So, I stopped the two of them.
"Centaur Chief, perhaps, we can talk about interesting things, such as the Orc Emperor, such as Demon Blood. Well, for example, this orc emperor has been corrupted by demons, and perhaps, it is time to replace people, and it is time for the centaur tribe to rise. You see, if Vitan City is your territory in the future, perhaps, the young people of your clan will not always think about leaving the tribe. β
