Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Journey
Chen Tang did not leave immediately, but took the lion Nemo into the mountain range, climbed a small hill, and found a suitable location on high ground. Not far below the www.biquge.info of the Pen Fun Pavilion was the passage guarded by the Minotaurs, and he was going to watch the battle between the wolves and the Minotaurs here, and it would not be too late to go.
At this time, the minotaurs had begun to assemble, with one or two thousand people, plus a large herd of mounts and bulls, the momentum was huge and there was a lot of noise. You can vaguely see a few minotaurs who are not strong, but have a high status, and they are rectifying the minotaur elite who are carrying huge wooden pillars, which should be the minotaur shaman.
didn't wait too long, a black line appeared in the direction of the desert in the distance, gradually approaching, and it was the army of wolf clans. This battle is very important for both sides, and the wolf clan seems to have gathered all the warriors who can fight, and I am afraid that there will be nearly 10,000 people. From afar, it looks like a swarm of ants.
Soon approached, the wolf warriors set up their positions, and the minotaurs on the opposite side were not to be outdone, a long column of minotaur elites carrying totem poles lined up at the forefront, and several shamans stood behind them.
Chen Tang shook his head, the formation of the wolf clan was too dense. I'm afraid they won't be able to play to their advantage...... Forget it, you always need to suffer a little loss in order to find the most suitable way to fight.
Soon, the wolf clan attacked first, and Lambas's proposal to go back should have worked, and the two wolf horsemen of a thousand men interspersed on both sides, ready to circle the past and attack from the rear, while the front was still advanced by a large group of men and horses. The minotaur shaman began to dance, and Chen Tang stood on a high place, clearly seeing that the row of totem pole warriors seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of yellow light. One by one, they held the totem poles and strode forward.
The two teams of people quickly came into contact, and everywhere people turned on their backs, and everywhere there were fierce shouts ...... killing. It was clear that the wolves were in a disadvantageous position, and they simply couldn't break through the Minotaur defenses. The wolf riders circling on both sides had gradually converged and leaned inward, and after a long distance, someone had already begun to throw spears, and there was no accuracy at all. Moreover, the minotaurs also had some precautions, and somehow they got some thick logs and tied them together as shields to block the flanks. It's an attack that has no effect.
The frontal battle was one-sided, and the two sides couldn't rush in, Chen Tang felt that he didn't need to look at it anymore, this first battle must be a loss for the wolf clan.
Soon, the situation confirmed Chen Tang's calculation, the surprise attack on the flanks had no effect, and it could not beat morale. The difficulty of resisting head-on, crumbling. Those cavalrymen panicked, and threw out the throwing spears and short-handled axes as if they didn't want money, and the angry Chen Tang jumped on the mountain: Idiot, you can't cut the wooden shield, you won't gather it, and throw it into the air?
Xu is finally enlightened, after paying a lot of casualties, the Chinese white wolf team finally made a move, as if Najib issued a new order. Hundreds of cavalry were sent on both sides, and this time when they approached, they threw their spears diagonally upwards, and after crossing the arc, they landed on the top of the minotaur's head and back. Finally, they suffered a lot of casualties.
There was a cheer from the wolf army, and the low morale rose somewhat, but on the Minotaur side, riots began to appear. After all, they are not prepared and do not have a good way to cope. And the speed is not as fast as the wolf clan, so I rashly went out to pursue, I was afraid that the result would be even worse.
The wolf clan has found a suitable way to fight, except for the central position, which is still difficult to withstand the totem battle formation of the minotaur. More and more wolf riders began to wander around, looking for gaps, and there was a rain of spears. Time slowly passed, and the Minotaurs suffered more and more casualties.
Unless an effective means of restraint are thought of, this battle will be like this. Although the wolf clan must have died more than the minotaurs, they have won the overall situation.
Chen Tang wasn't going to watch it anymore, as long as the wolf clan had morale back, they would be able to win, after all, there were many more of them than the Minotaurs. And in the final analysis, it has nothing to do with him, it's just because of Lambas's relationship, a little care.
Looking back, there was a knot. Nemo the lion was still holding on to the cow's bones and gnawing on the bones, and this guy was so spoiled that his belly was almost round. There was ready-made food, and Chen Tang even suspected that if this continued, he would forget his hunting instinct. I even thought about it occasionally...... The reason why this guy follows him is probably just to find a long-term meal ticket, right?
Viciously confiscated Nemo's cow bones, and threw them into the ravine under his pitiful gaze. "I'm going to eat fat man, so I'll call you a fat pig in the future." Let's go, it's time for us to go, and lose weight for you on the way. ”
Jumping up the hills, through the rugged rocks, over the not-so-high hills, into the Deria steppe. Find your way, ride Nemo the Lion, and gallop forward.
It's a lot better than being in the desert. There are lush meadows everywhere, and it is late spring, and it is not yet the height of summer. The grasslands are dotted with wildflowers, and sometimes you can walk in a sea of flowers for a day. Watching Nemo sneeze incessantly because of pollen sticking to his nose, and the occasional wild deer and rabbit running around him, made me feel refreshed.
It was not without its dangers, encountering several groups of wild wolves along the way, and even seeing a few ground otters the size of brown bears roaming. Fortunately, Nemo the lion was not easy to mess with, just roared a few times, and those guys fled with poop and urine. It's not bad to have such a guy as a companion, very vigilant, a competent sentinel, although too good to eat. But at night, he saved the felt blanket and tent, lay directly on his soft belly, and slept peacefully until dawn.
After more than ten days of stopping and stopping, a continuous mountain range finally appeared in the distance, with no end in sight. The peaks were all very high, and the tops were covered with snow, and Chen Tang speculated that they were much higher than the highest peak on Earth, Mount Everest. And that's just what you can see, and I don't know what it will be like to enter the center of the mountain range.
Except for the snow-white mountain top, from the halfway point of the mountain, there are forests all over the place, and from a distance it looks dark green, like the ocean. Following Lambas's instructions, he saw the highest mountain in the distance and found his way. A third, smaller mountain, not far from the peak, lives the dwarven tribe that has a deal with the wolves.
Although it seemed that they were close at hand, they rode Nemo for two days before they came to the edge of the grassland, which was already sparsely scattered with trees. I don't see any varieties either, it looks like a pine or a fir tree. In some cases, the canopy of the trees is full of flowers, and flocks of small birds shuttle among them. It's lively, much better than the empty grasslands and desolate deserts.
Along the way, Chen Tang hunted many wild deer and yellow sheep, all of which were stacked in storage rings, which could be used as gifts for dwarves. Even he has a killer [liquor], which is difficult for dwarves who want to drink well to refuse.
Along the way, under Chen Tang's obscenity, he was forced to lose weight, and poor Nemo had just rounded up and his stomach was deflated again. If it weren't for Chen Tang's occasional delicious cake or roasted fragrant beef to lure him to treat, Nemo the lion would have the heart to run away from home. Fortunately, this guy is a chicken, he remembers to eat or not, and with delicious food, he quickly forgets his sin, and he really deserves it.
You can't be so relaxed when you enter the forest, you don't know what dangers are hidden around you, they go around the edge of the forest for a day before they step into it.
Although the forest is shaded by a dense canopy, sunlight can only occasionally shine through the cracks. But it was not damp and muddy, and it was even very dry, and you could not smell the unpleasant smell when you stepped on the dead branches and leaves that were not thick to your feet. What an amazing place.
As we went deeper, there were more and more trees, some of which were tens of meters tall, and three or four people couldn't hold them. Chen Tang had to make marks on the trunks of trees along the way so as not to get lost. At night, although there were the cries of wild beasts and the low chirping of various insects, it was at the edge of the forest and there was no danger.
After walking like this for a few days, they gradually approached the mountain where the dwarves lived.
On the way to the high mountain, there was a small hill that was not high, and after passing it, it was cheerful in front of me...... There was a valley in which tall trees had been cut down, leaving a large open space. In the distance, rows of log-made houses form a village. At that moment, Chen Tang couldn't help but burst into tears............ Finally saw the famous traces! Oh, the wolf clan lives in animal skin tents, and they are clearly a group of wild people, and it is only right to live in a house!
"What are the people, what are the intentions of approaching our town?"
Just when Chen Tang was getting carried away with excitement, a low shout suddenly came from the bushes beside him. A short, sturdy guy like a winter melon, only as tall as his chest, with a bearded face and a beard, walked out vigilantly. In his hand he holds a delicate bow and crossbow.
A huge red nose, a beard that hangs down to the chest, and the size of a dwarf winter melon -- this is a dwarf indeed!
