Chapter 178: Dismounting
In the middle of the night, Wren heard the sound of horses' hooves.
Gradually, the ground shook slightly, and the residents of the entire Bishui Street, as well as the silver knights in the castle, were awakened by this tremor.
Wren walked out of his study to the balcony, and saw in the distance a large group of tall figures, half-man, half-horse, running down the street, and soon reached the foot of the castle hill.
In this team of more than two hundred people, he saw Emilys.
"Open the door and let them in. ”
Wren commanded in a loud voice, jumped off the balcony, and walked to the door of the castle to greet him.
As soon as the gate opened, the centaurs rushed in, and the well-trained divided into ten teams, each of fifteen centaurs, rushed up the hillside meadow like a tide, and finally in the open space in front of the castle gate, in an orderly manner, showing great discipline.
Wren looked at this scene and couldn't help but think that the mercenaries who were known for their freedom and looseness would definitely not be able to do this.
This is a real army!
He observed the centaurs, a hundred and fifty in all, no more, no less, not far from the number Emilys had said.
Their upper bodies were strong human torsos and heads, long black hair was braided behind their heads, they wore rudimentary leather armor, carried longbows and quivers, and at their waists hung strange large, thick-bladed scimitars, and their arms were extremely long, and they held iron spears;
The lower body is the body of a horse and its four thick thighs, which are perfectly combined, and the adjective "tall and big" is tailor-made for them.
Centaurs make up two-thirds of the population and are over two meters tall, while females are slightly shorter.
Because of the long run, they stood in the clearing, panting, exhaling clouds of white mist in the cold night, their chests heaving and falling, and the back half of their horses soaked with sweat.
The entire castle gate suddenly became crowded, with spears and a calm atmosphere.
On the backs of some male centaurs, there are humans, including more than sixty elite iron guards, as well as the top managers of the Dragonstone Mercenary Regiment.
Among them, there is one centaur that stands out.
He was nearly two meters three in height, extremely strong, weighed at least 1,200 pounds, more than two laps larger than the other centaurs, had a fierce face, had a black beard on his chin, was naked on his upper body, exposed huge muscles, and had a huge horn hanging from his waist.
Emily sat on his back, landed lightly, bowed and saluted, "Your Excellency, the members of the Dragonstone Mercenary Regiment in Mordu have all arrived. ”
The legendary swordsman Astan, the demon sorcerer Dinraj, and the high-ranking ranger Bigbell jumped off the back of the centaur and saluted Wren.
All the centaurs and human mercenaries shouted in unison, "I've seen Lord Lord!"
The sound is neat and the momentum is amazing.
The Secret Fire Guards and the Silver Knights standing behind Wren all changed their faces slightly, if these centaurs and mercenaries were enemies, then they had already fallen into the encirclement.
Wren smiled and responded, "You're welcome, welcome to my castle." ”
"Nice castle indeed, hum ......"
A rough voice rang out, with a hint of disdain, sounding particularly harsh.
Wren looked over and it was the leader of the centaurs who spoke, and the other party's eyes were full of provocation. The Soul Eye saw that the centaur had some hostility towards him, and he didn't know why.
"Zoao, shut up!" Emily immediately reprimanded.
The centaur Joo clasped his hands on his chest, and although he didn't say anything more, he still looked unruly and unconvinced.
Wren frowned, and suddenly understood that Emilys should have subdued a centaur tribe through this centaur Joao. Due to her embarrassment, she can't be too harsh on Zoao, which may provoke resistance from the other centaurs, and Zoor also relies on this to be a little disobedient.
Most of the centaurs are cruel and irascible by nature, they burn and kill and plunder, they respect the strong, enslave the weak, and believe in evil gods.
A small number of centaurs who believe in the gods of righteousness, such as Zhuo and his tribe in front of him, believe in Urur, the god of hunting, are also wild and untamable, flying and domineering.
If you don't give these centaurs a "dismount" and deter them, you don't know what kind of chaos you will make in the castle in the future.
Wren judged with the eye of his soul, this Zhuo Ao's strength was equivalent to that of a high-level berserker of the human race, no wonder he could become the leader of a clan.
Then use him to make an example of him.
Wren doesn't want to do it himself, which pulls down his status.
"Gron. ”
The Makulag, who had been standing behind him, stepped forward and responded, "Boss!"
Wren said lightly: "Help me entertain this Mr. Zoao well, so that he can understand what etiquette is, and in my castle, there are no discordant sounds." ”
"Yes, the boss's will is my will. ”
Hearing Wren's order, Gelong suddenly became excited, he had just received the symbiosis amplification, and he had nowhere to vent his strength, and he was worried that he would not have a chance to practice.
The mercenary group was in an uproar, and the centaurs glared at Wren and shouted one after another.
Emily subconsciously tried to stop it, and opened her mouth, but did not speak.
The short body of the demon sorcerer Ding Raji stood in front of Gelong, and shouted loudly, "My lord, Zhuo Ao has no other meaning, please don't hurt the harmony." ”
"Get out of the way, little man, I don't need you to say nice things for me. Zhuo Ao licked his lips, and a little cruelty flashed in his eyes, "I want to see what you will do with me?"
So saying, he raised his spear in his hand and rushed up with all four hooves.
Heavy iron hooves made footprints on the ground, completely ignoring Din Raj, who was still in the middle, as if they wanted to trample him to death by the way.
Dinkraj shook his head helplessly and sighed, and his figure turned into a puff of black smoke and flickered to Emilys's side.
In front of Wren, Gron charged with a greatsword.
Bang!
The distance between the two was not far away, and in an instant they collided head-on, and Groon ignored Zoao's spear and allowed it to be pierced in his shoulder, and the two were so close that his head slammed into Zoau's face like a headhammer.
Zhuo Ao screamed, his face blossomed, and he involuntarily let go of the spear, and then was slapped horizontally on his body by the giant sword, and a big hand grabbed the front hooves like iron tongs, and there was a huge force, and suddenly the person turned on his back.
Knowing that he couldn't kill, Gelon threw away his greatsword, mounted on his horse, and smashed it down with punch after punch.
He didn't talk about the number of roads at all, and he didn't care about defense, carrying Zhuo Ao's various counterattacks and flying hooves, and pressed the centaur to the ground with a messy fist.
Bang bang bang......
The fist was fisted to the flesh, and blood was splashed.
Gelong's strength factor is close to level five, more than 10,000 pounds of fists, plus heavy attack elements, even if Zhuo Ao is rough and thick, after being smashed dozens of punches on his body, his screams gradually become weaker, vomiting blood does not stop, his four hooves are kicking meaninglessly, and finally he passes out.
"That's it. Wren saw that he would be killed if he continued to fight, so he called for a halt.
Only then did Gronn let go and stood up, a little unsatisfied, and pulled out the half of the spear that was still stuck in his shoulder, the spear was only about an inch deep, and the bleeding immediately stopped, and it was rapidly healing.
"The scolding is ugly, but it is so unbeaten, it is not interesting. ”
He spat out, looked around, and said loudly: "Who else disagrees with the boss's words, stand up!"
Although the centaurs were furious, they were frightened by such a savage way of fighting, and they were all terrified, and no one dared to speak out to provoke.
Emily and the others all looked incredulous.
They knew Geron, who a few hours ago was only a barbarian of medium strength, but suddenly, it seemed that he had completely changed into a person, and his strength had skyrocketed, not much different from Sicarius!
This kind of strength and defense is simply too strong to be true.
Emily couldn't help but wonder, could it be that she had lost her eyes?
It wasn't until Gelong picked up her greatsword and stood behind Wren that she came back to her senses and ordered, "Treat Zhuo Ao, let him rest well, and don't move around these days." ”
Two centaur priests hurriedly came over and cast spells to heal their leader's injuries.
Wren's gaze swept over them, each centaur tribe has priests, they can sense the power of nature, comprehend spells, use them to heal and assist their clansmen in battle, and they also have the ability to cast spells and attacks, most of which are related to the wind element or the lightning element.
There were six priests in this group of centaurs, and their mana level was about the same as that of second- or third-level spellcasters.
"Your Excellency. ”
Emily came over and said, "We are responsible for the defense of the castle, please rest assured. ”
Wren nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you, I've got food and accommodation ready, and there are enough empty rooms in the castle for you to all live in." ”
"Thank you, sir. ”
Emilys gets busy, but she doesn't let the centaurs live in the castle.
Centaurs were born nomads, not accustomed to living in man-made structures, so they brought their own tents, and in less than half an hour on the hillside and meadow outside the castle, they set up more than twenty large tents, each tent could live seven or eight centaurs, scattered around the castle.
The elite iron guards of the mercenary group also took over the post of the silver-armored knight and stood on the city wall to guard in shifts.
Wren didn't intervene, everything was well arranged.
Through the sound of all things, he grasped the movements inside and outside the castle, and made sure that the centaurs had been pacified and all of them were honest.
Several high-ranking members of the mercenary group gathered in Emilys' room to talk.
However, the talk is mainly about fortifying the castle and being surprised by the changes in Gron.
Among these people, the legendary swordsman Astan is mostly silent, and the ranger Bigbell has no opinion, mainly Emilys and the demon sorcerer Din Raj are discussing.
This deformed human with a short body seems to be the brains of the Dragonstone mercenary group.
Wren listened for a moment and found that the Dragonstone mercenary group had no dissenting intentions, so he withdrew his attention and flipped through the map of the Glamorgan Territory in the study.
He looked at several important locations on the map and thought to himself, "When Sicarius returns, immediately start recovering the territory and driving out all the enemies!"
