Chapter 55: Battle Plan

The thinker shouted this with all his might, and then almost cried out to the warriors: "I have a plan, a perfect plan!" to prove that I am the craziest ...... in the whole forest."

Satie stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, and he collapsed to the ground with a screamβ€”and the centaur appeared. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

No one knew how the cavalry surrounded them before they were discovered, just as no one knew why the centaurs didn't make the slightest noise when they moved through the woods.

In the crowd, the captain remained calm, and his men silently drew their weapons and assumed a posture ready for battle.

"If you're wondering why we've not been discovered," a tall centaur came to Magellan, his golden armor looking at the group condescendingly, "then you're approaching an important fact." ”

"Welcome, messenger of Athena. ”

Magellan fell to the ground in a standard position, as he had just done when he had tripped over a branch, except that he had been standing on the ground before falling.

Ignoring the comedy, the captain stepped forward and bowed to the centaur: "I came here for Athena, may I ask, are you friends with the goddess?"

"We are the descendants of the god of war, the masters of the grasslands and mountains, the fanatical tribe of the winds. We worship war, including victory and trickery. The heavily armed centaur stuck his spear in the ground, "Yes, we are also followers of Athena. ”

The captain was visibly relieved, he stepped forward with a smile and said impatiently, "Let's start then, we don't have much time." ”

"Hmm......" the lead centaur looked down at the captain's face and muttered slowly, "as you wish...... My name is Charon. ”

Charon turned and left, and the captain followed with Satie and Magellan.

The path in the dense forest twisted and turned, and it seemed that a centaur warrior was waiting around every corner, and as the group continued to move forward, the centaurs in the group silently multiplied, until at last they converged into an army.

"How is this possible......"

The thinker spoke everyone's mind, but he didn't get a voice that agreed.

Finally, on the edge of a cliff, they left the forest, and suddenly the green grassland opened up in front of them.

"It's our camp, so we have to know ourselves and make a detailed plan before we fight. Charon spoke, pointing to a cluster of green, brown buildings in the distance, "Let's go to our camp first." ”

Walking down the cliff along the path, the undisguised excitement of the expressionless centaur warriors along the way showed undisguised excitement as they stepped onto the grass. They grabbed the outsiders, put them sideways on their backs like they were transporting goods, and began to run wildly.

The road was bumpy, and when they arrived at their destination, everyone was miserable, except for Magellan. Perhaps it was the god of wine who protected him, and Magellan had not felt pain since he drank that glass.

The centaur tribe lived in a village of wooden huts, with tall trunks and straw mats as the only building materials, and most of the houses were tall and large, just like the centaurs.

Charon received the captain and Magellan in a large wooden house belonging to the chief in the center of the village, and the others were scattered and left outside.

"Tell me, what does Athena want?"

Charon stood at an uncomfortable high table, and before the captain and Magellan could sit down in the high chairs, he eagerly asked questions.

"An absolutely safe place. ”

The captain looked tired and began to speak in a hoarse voice.

"The war between Athens and Sparta lasted so long that the Setesa had a chance to enter Theros, but it did the work of my king, the conqueror. ”

He never thought he would stop one day, so in the end, he decided to march east. That means...... We, who could not find the channel, the king's navy, could no longer follow him. ”

"I was disappointed, but the conquistadors gave me a task before they set out, and that was to find Athena. He and I both understood that this was just as important as the expedition, and since ancient times, the gods and great men had controlled the course of war, and as the god of war, Athena was the most powerful of the gods. ”

Charon nodded: "I used to be an ally of Sparta, and I saw the battle between the god of war and Athena from afar on the battlefield......"

The centaur lowered his head, let out a long sigh, and fell silent.

"I followed the trail of what came and went, traveling everywhere the power of the gods of Theros went. I got closer and closer to Athena, but the more I knew, the more doubts I became. Eventually, one day I didn't expect, I found Athena and got the oracle. ”

Charon showed a serious expression: "What did the oracle say?"

"A command, the goddess told me to take the idol of the god in the city of Athens and come here to find a place where I could hide it. ”

The centaur shook his head and put his hand on the table, "The forest does keep people looking for idols out, but there is no place safe here. ”

He looked up with a look of remembrance: "No one knows when Dionysian madness will ruin something, no one ......"

The captain nodded, and the words seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and the exhaustion on his face became more obvious: "I entered the forest by the strength of Athena, and she told me that someone here would help me. ”

"I will help you. Charon nodded slowly, with the same solemnity and solemnity as a big man.

"Thank you. ”

The captain smiled.

But then, a voice interrupted the two.

"Don't be stupid, do you want to die?"

Magellan still had a rather nonchalant tone, snorting with wine.

Ignoring the troublesome Magellan completely, the centaur said in a cold tone, "I know there's a place, but until then, we'd better spend a little more time making a plan." ”

As soon as the captain wanted to say something, Magellan stood up and staggered away.

"In this forest, you'd better not go near drunk people. Not only because a madman will stick a knife in your back, but also, madness is contagious. ”

"Athena told me that there would be a messenger of Dionysus to help me......"

Charon ended the conversation with a wave of his hand: "Athena can't see Bacchus clearly. ”

......

The Centaur village is quiet, more like a barracks, where every inhabitant is heavily armed and never lets their weapons leave them.

The thinker was both frightened and glad at such a sight, after all, the last thing he liked was his own kind.

As soon as Magellan walked out of the cabin, Satie approached him.

"How?"
