Chapter 9: Centaur Fortress

As the door opened, the smell of blood came. Then two heavily armed horsemen came out of the door, and they took their spears and said, "Go to the chief, and follow us." Fast and Baucus looked at each other, then followed the centaurs into the centaur fortress.

As soon as you enter the fortress, the smell of blood and the tragic scene come into view. A large number of injured centaurs lay on the ground, some of them were constantly treating the wounded, and the muddy road was covered with blood, and every step did not know whether it was mud or blood.

The arrival of the two magicians instantly attracted the attention of the centaurs, and Fast saw doubt, fear, and even anger in their eyes.

Soon Fast and Bawkes were taken outside a tent, and it was clear that this tent was the largest.

Fast, Baucus, and the centaur named Mady entered the tent together.

As soon as the group entered the tent, they saw a group of centaurs gathered around a table, pointing at the map on the table.

Fast looked around at the eight centaurs, all heavily armed. And one of the oldest of the centaurs was their leader.

Fast and Baucus bowed in salute, while the centaur leader raised his hand slightly in return. Then he said, "Thank you very much for saving my people." ”

The leader looked at the two people in front of him and said lightly, "Why are you magicians here?" Fast politely replied, "At the request of the Ministry of Magic, go here to destroy the giant spider." The leader of the centaurs was suddenly startled: "Speaking of which, just the two of you?" Are the people from the Ministry of Magic crazy? ”

"Chief, I saw that they easily eliminated 8 spiders. "Looks like you've already shown what you're capable of. That's good, we're fighting the giant spider too. Box said excitedly, "Great, it seems that there are allies." The centaur leader nodded silently. It seems to have acquiesced in this alliance.

Fast asked, "What does a giant spider look like?" The leader of the centaurs shook his head and said, "No one has seen it, or it has seen nothing." Fast was surprised and asked, "So, what were those spiders just now?" The leader of the centaurs said lightly, "Those are small spiders. Baucus asked, confused, "Why are so many centaurs hurt?" ”

The leader of the centaurs shook his head helplessly and said, "Madi, you go out first, go see your sister." Madi bowed in respect and silently withdrew. After seeing Madi leave, the leaders Randfast and Bawx came to the table, pointed to the map on the table, and said, "There are too many spiders, our warriors have suffered heavy losses, and we are constantly exploring this forest. Here, here, and here are all taken over by giant spiders. He said as he gestured on the map.

At this time, the leader of the centaurs pointed to a piece of the map and said, "This tribe has completely disappeared, and we are still looking for other tribe survivors." ”

Hearing this, Fast asked, "So you're not a centaur from this forest?" ”

The centaur leader nodded and said, "Yes, we are from another forest, and three months ago we received a distress letter from the centaurs of the Danjure Forest, saying that they had been attacked by a large number of spiders. So we organized three tribes to come here together, and the number of giant spiders was beyond imagination, and when we arrived at the tribe that sent the distress message, the whole tribe was only bloody. ”

"So, why don't you guys get out of here?" ”

The leader of the centaurs said firmly, "Because of the cry for help from the forest." "A cry for help?" Fast and Baucus looked at the centaur leader with puzzled expressions. The centaur leader explained: "When the forest is severely damaged, it makes a huge change that changes everything in the forest. Trees wither, animals disappear, these are all cries for help. And if this destruction is not contained, it will expand indefinitely, and even destroy adjacent forests. Fast and Baucsnoy nodded thoughtfully.

Fast asked, "Do you know where this giant spider came from?" ”

The centaur leader shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it's certainly not a creature from this forest." Mother Nature does not upset the balance of the forest. ”

Baucus asked, "What are you going to do now?" The centaur leader shook his head and said, "Only by destroying the biggest giant spider?" ”

Fast asked suspiciously, "Why?" The leader of the centaurs said, "Because we found that the little spiders are all female." Fasteno said thoughtfully: "In other words, just kill that male spider and end this?" The leader of the centaurs nodded and said, "But unfortunately, we have suffered heavy losses. You saw it too. ”

Fast nodded and said: "I understand you so well, you were not originally the centaurs here, but you received a distress letter from here, and then rushed here, but the centaurs here are no longer there, and you decided to stand up and destroy the giant spiders to avoid expanding and endangering other forests." The leader of the centaurs nodded.

Fast continued: "There are many spiders, and you have suffered heavy casualties. Now the goal is to destroy the largest giant spider is the primary goal, and only then can this matter be solved once and for all. Fast said, "In that case, let's destroy the giant spiders." ”

The centaur leader's eyes were full of doubt: "You guys? Fast said: "That's right, first of all, this is our task, secondly, we are few and easy to move, and thirdly, you have suffered heavy casualties. The centaur leader looked at the two of them with determined eyes and said, "You are confident, but we centaurs will still act on our own. But we're here to help. Baucus thought for a moment and said, "Can you give us a copy of this map?" ”

The leader of the centaurs said, "Of course. So Baucus made a copy of the map in pairs, and the centaur leader explained to Baucus and Fast the details of each of the markings on the map, making sure that they could avoid the danger zone. Fast and Baucus had already understood what was going on in the forest, and it was late at night, and the centaur leader said, "You need to rest, but I can't let you spend the night in the fortress." You can spend the night on the plains outside the fortress, and our archers are the best at keeping you safe. Fass nodded in agreement.

When the two of them walked out of the tent, they saw that the centaur named Madi was crying with a centaur holding a decaur in her hand.

So they came to the outside of the fortress, and Baucus sighed and said, "Did you see that? Those wounded, they can't even protect themselves. Fast nodded: "Indeed, it seems that tonight is still on his own." ”

So Fast and Baucus began to set up tents and barriers. "Protect all", "Scatter the evil", "Tent construction", "Ignition spell"

In this way, the two superb wizards kept waving their magic wands, and in the blink of an eye, a comfortable and safe camp was set up.
