XLV. Caesar
"Looks like you're in trouble, little one?" said Gruba's tone, and you couldn't really tell if there was a mockery.
"Tsk. Moon jumped to his feet, and saw the horned eagle beast flying, and the fat donkey had already prepared the map, and then came with him.
"Your Highness, do you want to pick up Caesar?" the fat donkey asked tentatively as he looked at Moon who was staring down at the map.
"Tsk. Moon stared at the map, not uttering a word.
From Rage to Black Yao, it is true that the road between the two places is the most direct and fastest, and the Storm Leader is just on the southeast border of Black Yao, but there are some problems that need to be determined.
"How many minotaurs are there?"
"Your Highness, less than a thousand. "Obviously, the pig informant has done his homework.
"What about the orcs who are guarding? The rabbits are the main ones, right? What else is there?"
"Your Highness, it is true that the rabbit people are the mainstay, and there are a small number of dog clans, chicken clans, pig clans, etc. The total number of people is about 5,000. β
"Five thousand?" "Damn, what is Caesar doing here? Five thousand is not a small number.
"What about mount loading?"
"Your Highness, half of the minotaurs originally had mounts, and most of them were Kodo beasts, but later the injuries increased, and Kodo was given to the wounded by the minotaurs. The speed of travel is not fast. β
"What about the pursuers, and what are they made of?"
"Your Highness, most of the pursuers are centaurs, and there are a small number of lions. β
"Hmm? That's not right. β
"Young master, Caesar should have been used as bait. Luo Xia is almost recovered, and her spirit is much better, and her judgment is basically the same as Moon at this time.
"Yes, I thought so too. Centaurs are a race that is good at long-distance attacks, although the lion clan is worse, but the main force is not the lion clan. This composition of forces was merely a day's journey behind Caesar, and was clearly deliberate. β
"And, young master. I think that among the orcs that Caesar guards, there are many races, and there must be spies of the Fury. β
"It's easy to say, it's our Black Yao. If you want to control them, it's still simple, you are allowed to enter but not out, but if you don't have half a word, you can't kill them or bury them. β
"The nearest route is from the Storm Lords, but we don't have cavalry, and we have to turn back to the Storm Lords. Will it be too late?" I have to say that Luo Xia raised a very realistic question, the dark blue forest is between the Storm Leader and the Furious Flame, if you want to gather forces, you must turn back, and the Storm Leader will take a detour, just like the route of the Moon Butterfly before.
"It's too late, hey. β
"Your Highness!" the pig intelligence officer who sent the letter shouted with some heartache, and then realized that he shouldn't have interjected here, and then closed his mouth in amusement.
"Young Master, although I am a little sorry for Caesar, if we march with all our infantry to meet Caesar, even if we arrive, it will be difficult to face the Centaur Legion of Fury. β
"Then that's justβ" Moon looked up in the direction the Hippogriff had come from before, with a somewhat melancholy expression.
"Boss!" a minotaur strode to Caesar, who was at the end of the line, "Boss, I don't think something is right. "The one who speaks is called Decibel, Caesar's squad leader.
"Nonsense, I know that. I haven't seen anything wrong since I came back. From time to time, Caesar looked back behind him, and despite the sentry arrangement, he was still not at ease.
"Boss, what the hell are you talking about? Why did the elders of all the tribes choose to withdraw at the same time, and the mercenaries are on their own. The decibel urn asked angrily.
"Don't ask, I don't know. It's just that you shouldn't follow me. β
"Boss, why are you talking? How can I endure this kind of thing?! The elders may have their own considerations, but I feel that I shouldn't, and I feel that I should follow you, the boss. Out of sight, out of mind. β
"Hey. Caesar sighed, stretched out his big hand and patted Decibel's back, and the two bumped each other on the shoulder.
"Boss, don't say anything else. Are we really going to Heiyao this time?"
"Otherwise, what good place do you have? Damn, I didn't expect so many people to go with me. "Caesar is actually quite embarrassed now, he doesn't know the scale of Jixiang City, he brought a thousand brothers who are not used to seeing the methods of the tribe this time, and more than 5,000 orcs of various tribes who are panicking, Moon has to pick his own cowhide to make a big drum?
It's okay to peel the skin, but I'm afraid that Moon will turn his face and drive his wave of people away, and there will really be nowhere to go. However, Caesar subconsciously ruled out this option, he didn't think that Moon would drive away his group.
The problem now is that Moon is tossing his territory in the Deep Blue Forest, and whether his own wave of people can survive to the Black Shine is a question, and the entire legion behind him doesn't know what it means, even if they hang there, they don't step forward, and they don't retreat.
"Boss, where can I go, it's not just to hand over my life to you. However, how can we deal with the group of people behind us? The Sentinel Brothers said it was at least 10,000 men, and it was said to be the Twenty-Sixth Legion of the Great Prince. β
"I can't care so much, you go to the front, let the team speed up, and then leave a few old brothers, and the ones who are familiar with His Highness Moon will open the way in front, in case you encounter Hei Yao's patrol force, you can still say a few words, and everyone else will be transferred to me." β
"Boss, you go to the front, if you want to talk about friendship, no one in this group of us knows you better than you. β
"No, shut up. I'll stay here, and if they rush up, I'll lead someone to buy time. β
"Boss!"
"What? You kid is going to rebel, hurry up and tell me to get to the front, and don't come back when you're done. Otherwise, I will kill you with my horns. β
"Hey!" Decibel stomped his foot and ran to the front of the group.
"Moo! Cuihua is a good girl. You have to be kind to people. Caesar muttered in a low voice, not knowing who he had learned, but his big mouth was only upturned on one side, and he was laughing.
Caesar, though upright, was not entirely stupid. This time he brought people back to the tribe, and he found that the elders of the Minotaur tribes had already made arrangements, whether it was the speed of gathering troops or the overseas strongholds they had seized, they were all deliberately and deliberately, which made Caesar very depressed. He didn't even want to dwell on the fact that the elders knew about the dirty things of the Tiger Clan, so he simply relied on the popularity of the people to climb up and shout, and really let him pull up a team of about a thousand people.
In fact, Caesar originally wanted to bring two or three hundred men to find Moon. On the one hand, he fulfilled his previous promise, and then Caesar also thought about it, it was a big deal to take his brothers to the free city to live a bad life, and he was really not interested in those intriguing things. It's just that he underestimated his appeal a little, whether it was among the Minotaurs or in the Rabbit Clan, in fact, this was just the cumulative result of his usual actions.
With Caesar's care and care for the rabbit people, the rabbit people must trust him more in this situation, otherwise? weak does not mean stupid, reliable and righteous thighs are exactly what they need at this time. As for where the thighs are going, there is no way, you can only trust the judgment of the thighs.
In this strange situation, the team slowly approached in the direction of Black Yao. On the way, I passed the rest point where I met Moon for the first time, and at this time it was already a place for people to be inhuman, the camp was gone, and the people had long since withdrawn.
The Kodomon did not march very fast, but had the advantage of being able to bear loads, and it was effortless to carry the herbivore orcs and baggage carts. Caesar, who had originally planned to evacuate in secret, had to face this situation where he could only slip under the nose of the furious flames with his scalp after the number of people had expanded to the current level.
Although the lion and tiger clans are currently in a state of tense preparation and confrontation, but to deal with Caesar, they really don't need too much energy, no, the lion clan only sent a legion to follow, Caesar is already in a hurry, and what makes Caesar even more helpless is continuing to happen in a place he doesn't know.
"Have you heard, General Caesar is going to seek refuge in Heiyao this time, not to a neutral city. A pig clan, whispered to his fellow clansmen.
"What's the difference?" asked Pig B.
"Nonsense, of course there is a difference, we are afraid of being killed like the rabbit people in the country, but if we go to another country, will we be treated like slaves?"
"No... General Caesar shouldn't be able to trick us, right?" Pig B's tone was a little hesitant.
"Then you say, why don't you take us to a neutral city, it's freer there, and there are so many of them minotaurs, they can completely protect us from bullying in a neutral city. The pig armor raised its voice slightly, which attracted many people around to listen to it sideways.
"Uh-huh... General Caesar naturally has his own ideas, besides, let's go, even if we are sold, what good will it be. "Pig B is relatively speaking, at least for now, it is quite reassuring to the Minotaur.
"Hehe, that's hard to say. The matter of the Tiger Clan eating the Rabbit Clan is basically a certainty, how do you know that the Dark Elves don't eat our pig clan?"
"Damn, wouldn't it?, so terrifying?" Pig B was indeed taken aback.
"And you think, perhaps, we are the goods that General Caesar escorted over. Pig Clan A put forward another possibility, and I have to say that this made the surrounding people fall into some kind of small riot to varying degrees.
"Escort?, what do you say?" interjected a canine-clansman.
"You don't know, the 26th Leon Legion is hanging behind us, and it is said that it is only half a day's journey!"
"Ah!!!h
"What? Why don't we know? Nobody told us!"
"yes, is this true? If it's true, it's troublesome. β
"It's mostly true, did you notice, there aren't many minotaurs in front of you, most of them are at the back of the line. β
"Mom, are we really being pressed and sold to Hei Yao?" Pig Clan A yelled at the right time.
"You think, if the state wants to stop us, why don't we let the Twenty-sixth Legion rush directly? It is said that they have been hanging behind for days!" Pig Clan A continued to clamor.
"Are you saying that we were originally civilians, but we were somehow going to be sold to Hei Yao as slaves?"
This possibility cannot be ruled out. By the way, did you find that there are so many of us, but there are not many baggage, and it is not enough for all of us to consume, are you planning to kill us halfway?"
"Ahh
"Hey, what's the matter with you!" A petite rabbit tribe roared on tiptoe: "We rabbit people voluntarily followed General Caesar, it doesn't matter if you follow up yourself, and you are still talking nonsense here?"
"Why are we talking nonsense? Tell me, why did you bring so little baggage? Why did the Twenty-sixth Legion hang in the back? Why didn't Caesar tell us about the existence of the Twenty-sixth Legion? Why didn't you go to a neutral city and go to Black Yao? Ah? What do you say?" Every time Pig A asks a question, his momentum becomes half as fierce as he goes.
"You! You're talking nonsense! General Caesar won't sell us!" the rabbit stomped his feet angrily, but there was nothing he could do.
"Hehe, what about the evidence? Don't tell me that you came to a conclusion based on your feelings, you feel that if you are accurate, you will be eaten by the Tiger Clan?"
"You, you, you!"
"What are you? Did you hear that you weren't orcs in the first place, maybe, you are the spies sent by Hei Yao to divide the flames!"
"Don't talk too much!" the rabbit people who spoke didn't know whether it was a man or a woman, their eyes were red, and their voices were hoarse.
"Okay, let's not say a word, since they are all here, I still have to give General Caesar a little trust. "There were people around to play rounds, too.
"Hmph, I'm afraid, I don't know my heart. β
"You! excessive!" The rabbit people were so angry by the yin and yang of the pig clan that they pounced on the pig clan and bit the pig clan A's ear, and the pig clan A screamed in pain.
Soon, the commotion here spread to the Minotaur in front, and Decibel was not very happy by Caesar's words, and he heard that there could still be a conflict in the refugee team, or the pig tribe and the rabbit people?
Although the rabbit tribe bit the ear of the pig clan, the pig clan was stronger after all, and the two scuffled together, and soon the pig clan armor had the upper hand. After the Minotaur team arrived, they saw that the pig clan pressed the rabbit clan under them and beat them, and the people next to them were all watching the excitement, and a few rabbit people who wanted to pull the frame were stopped by the people around them.
The minotaur didn't say a word, he went up and punched and kicked the pig clan to the ground.
"Compatriots, have you seen it? The Minotaurs only care about the life or death of the rabbit people, and they don't care about us at all. The pig who was knocked to the ground cried hoarsely.
Something similar is happening everywhere in the refugee ranks. Fortunately, the main composition of the refugees is still dominated by the rabbit people, and the trust of the rabbit people in the minotaur and in Caesar is not so easy to shatter.
The simple and brutal handling of the decibel led to a very simple and brutal result, the riot was suppressed in a short time, and the refugee team was divided into two parts, the rabbit people and the non-rabbit people, and the atmosphere was silent and depressing.
And this atmosphere, at a certain point in time, suddenly erupted into another kind of riot.
The team finally came to a gentle slope, the refugees were tired for a few days, and most of them were exhausted by the lack of supplies, Decibel and his soldiers climbed the slope first, and were observing the terrain behind the slope.
"Ahh
"Lao Tzu hasn't eaten enough for a few days, there are so many rabbits in you, and you always starve to death when you find other people, but Lao Tzu is dying of hunger. A canine man roared back with a fierce look.
"But, but my wife is pregnant, and that's the food for her. Give it back to me!" the rabbit man's thin body rushed forward, clutching the canines' hand.
"I'm Rinima's. The dog clan kicked the rabbit man away, and scolded viciously: "What deserves to be eaten, dare to do something with Lao Tzu! Why! Why! Why? You are not convinced, do you want to go together? Brothers, the rabbit people will not give them a way to live!" After the dog clan scolded, he ran to the part of the refugees who were not rabbit people, crying aggrievedly.
At this time, Decibel happened to receive a contact from Caesar's side, and the 26th Legion, which had been following behind the team, moved!
After receiving the news, Decibel rushed to the conflict site of the two waves of refugees, and saw that the situation was already like this, so he simply used his simple and violent methods.
"Lao Tzu took you from the perspective that everyone is a compatriot! I am not obliged to take you with me! Since you are unbelievers and looking for trouble, then you can get out now! Go wherever you want, in short, don't appear in front of me!" All the thoughts of Decibel are on Caesar's side at this time, how can I think about it.
In fact, as long as he thought about it carefully, why the conflict between the two waves of refugees broke out when the 26th Army accelerated to chase after him, even if he couldn't figure it out, he would not give the other party a chance to act independently in the way of letting the other party roll.
"Okay, yes, you guys are still showing your true colors. In fact, most of the rabbit people, as well as some non-rabbit refugees, still don't know what he is talking about, but under the influence of the rumors circulating in the ranks recently, they have been sold, killed, and eaten hanging over their heads all day long, so that the little reason that is not much has disappeared under the dual effect of panic and noise.
"Brothers, come with me! They don't look down on us, let's figure it out ourselves. "Not to mention decibels, even if Caesar is here, I'm afraid he won't be able to cope with it. With the character and eloquence of the Minotaur, there is really no way to turn the situation around in this situation.
"Boss, what should I do? β
"What to do? What to do, array. Caesar looked at the smoke and dust in the distance, but was unusually calm.
Eight hundred minotaurs, two hundred rode Kodo beasts in front of the line, six hundred scattered in the rear, each of them put the totem pole on their shoulders, made a gesture of preparing to charge, and looked at Caesar at the front.
There are more than 10,000 heads, and the mountains are all over the wilderness.
The centaur cavalry, lightly armored with spears and longbows, gradually stopped at Caesar's 800 meters away.
Caesar could clearly see the rushing centaur cavalry, all of them were not blushing or panting, and they did not see much physical exertion at all. After the centaur, a group of lion warriors gradually appeared. And, the blonde man in golden armor, Simba Rhines.
Simba rode on the back of an equally golden lion and walked leisurely to the two phalanxes.
"General Caesar, it's been a long time. β
"His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, it's been a long time. β
"General, this is... Going on a trip?"
"Hehehe, Your Highness laughed, just begging for a living. β
"Oh, what? Aren't we angry enough to support General Caesar?"
"Your Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, it is natural to raise that, but I, Caesar, disdain to stay in this kind of anger. β
"Oh, what's wrong?"
"Where, Your Highness is joking with me?"
"Not really. β
"The matter of the Tiger Clan and the Rabbit Clan, His Highness won't know about it, right?"
"I know, what's wrong?"
"What's the matter?" said Caesar, angrily, "you even asked me what's wrong?"
"Yes, what's wrong? The law of the jungle has been the truth since ancient times, what's the problem?"
"The strong enslave the weak and exploit the weak, and it's all right underground. But why? Why did they give them national status but no national treatment? Why did they give them national status and still allow the Tiger people to feed on their people?"
"Hehehe, General Caesar. You're a little biased. β
"Am I biased?" Caesar looked incredulous when he heard Simba's words.
"Yes. Simba calmly responded, not wavering in the slightest because of Caesar's attitude, "What you can't accept is that the rabbit people are being eaten?"
"That's right. β
"Nothing else, the end result is that the rabbit people died from the tiger clan, right?"
"Hmm... Right. β
"Then let me ask you, the returning minotaur who was persecuted by your minotaur chief Caesar back then, in terms of the result, did the minotaur die from the minotaur?"
β......β
"Under the hereditary system of the Great Chief, those orcs of all races who tried to raise objections but were ruthlessly slaughtered, in terms of results, did the orcs die by the minotaurs?"
β......β
"Then let me ask you again, those businessmen who were bought and forced to go bankrupt in the end, and in the end they couldn't pay off their debts, and their families were sold into slavery, and their families were ruined, in terms of results, did orcs die from orcs?"
β......β
"Then let me continue to ask you, those orcs who can't get food and are forced to sell their bodies are also played with to death, right, in terms of results, are the orcs dying by the orcs?"
β......β
"I'm going to ask you again. If the orc refugees who were dragged away by you, who were in confusion and fearless at this time, rushed from behind you, would you choose to wipe them out, or would they be scattered by them and then wiped out by me? As a result, did those refugees die at the hands of you, Caesar, or did you die at the hands of me, who was also an orc?"
β......β
"General Caesar, do you think the Zen concession system is reasonable? Do you know how many ugly and ugly things happen in the shadows under the Zen concession system? Why don't you run away for these things? But for the sake of the rabbit people who are not our compatriots at all, choose to abandon their compatriots and abandon the flames!?"
"I have to admit it, Your Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, your words have made me more clear, and I understand what someone said, the so-called choice is just to stand on different positions and different angles, and choose what you want. β
"Oh, hehehehe, son of the Grand Duke of the Black Yao Empire, Moon Black?"
"Yes, it's him. β
"Hahahaha, it seems that you agree with him?"
"Not before, but now it's starting to be a little bit. β
"Hahaha. Simba put one hand on his forehead and looked up and laughed wildly, "I don't understand." It's the same people, why is there such a big gap between everyone?!"
"Huh?" Caesar clearly didn't understand what Simba was talking about.
"Under what circumstances did he and I meet? Oh yes, Womar's slave market. At that time, he was like a fool. β
"Out of curiosity, I sent someone to gather information about him, and I wondered how a waste dark elf had come to our fury with a swagger. β
"And guess what I found?" Simba said to himself, not trying to get Caesar to interject at all.
