Chapter 192: The Clouds of War
In the north of the town, Su Lun just used a spring to gush in a fang market, and a fountain was led out of the ground. After the clear water rushed into the sky for five or six meters, it turned into countless droplets and fell. When the sun shines, the water droplets reflect a variety of colors, which is very beautiful.
"The maintenance of this fountain will be left to you, don't be careless, this is for the purpose of extinguishing the fire in your nearby market. Su Lun rinsed the muddy water on his hands with clean water, and then said to a Fang City chief next to him.
"Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely protect this fountain. Hearing the role of the fountain, several workshop chiefs were awe-struck and paid more and more attention to this fountain. You must know that in this era, fires are very serious, and they are related to their own lives, so these people will naturally pay more attention to them.
"Lord Lord, Lord Ayton is back. A guard hurried to report.
Is Ayton back?Could it be that something is going on?Su Lun's heart has a hint of malice, Ayton has been monitoring the movements of the big tribes around the territory, and it has only been three days since the last report, is there any emergency?
Since the last time the orc tribe sent a detachment to attack Zhenbei City, Su Lun has increased the intelligence gathering of the surrounding tribes, but since the defeat of the orc tribe and retreat, those tribes have begun to recuperate, and no major moves have been found. Now that Ayton is back out of the blue, it's clear that things have changed.
"Go, go back. Suren turned and mounted his horse and headed towards the lord's castle.
Su Lun quickly returned to the lord's castle, and then walked directly to the study, after waiting for a while, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded, and the figure of Ayton appeared in front of Su Ren's eyes, he bowed slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, the centaur tribe has been defeated, and the orc tribe has won a decisive victory!"
"What did you say!?"
There was a crunch click. When Su Lun heard the news, his heart was shocked, and he didn't control the force in his hand for a while, and directly pressed a hole in the table. The best home made of teak was scrapped directly.
"How is this possible? Didn't you say three days ago that everything was normal? How could it be that in just three days, the centaur tribe was defeated?" said Su Lun with a look of disbelief.
"Even if it's a sneak attack, with the strength of a centaur, you can't survive three days of training!"
How strong is the strength of the centaur tribe, Su Lun knows very well, although the overall number is not as large as the orc tribe, but there are about eight thousand people, and the centaur tribe can be said to be all soldiers, and the tribe of eight thousand people can pull out six thousand soldiers.
Coupled with the fact that centaurs are good at running and have sharp bows and arrows, even if the number of orc tribes is twice as large as that of the centaur tribe, it will not take the slightest advantage, not to mention that just two months ago, the centaur tribe had just defeated the orc tribe, and the orc tribe suffered heavy casualties, how could it be that in a blink of an eye, the centaurs were defeated.
Although he also had the consequences of the defeat of the centaur tribe in his heart, this defeat was too sudden. On the battlefield, as cavalry, even if they fail, according to the speed of the centaurs, those orcs can't catch up with them, how can this happen.
Three days, no, it should only be two days, the orc tribe defeated the centaur tribe, according to this momentum, the next target of the orc army is likely to be Zhenbei City, as the only Zhenbei City that can threaten them in this wasteland, Su Lun doesn't think that the orcs will get along with him.
"Do you know why?" Suren quickly calmed down, the centaurs were defeated, it was too late to say anything, the most important thing was to figure out which orcs won how, and then make corresponding precautions.
"Sorry Your Excellency, the war took place at night, we didn't see it, and by the next day the centaurs had already been defeated. Ayton said with some embarrassment.
"Continue to monitor the orc tribe's movements, and then send someone to contact those centaurs to find out what happened that night?" said Suren as he closed his eyes.
"Yes!" Ayton didn't have time to take a bite of his meal, and hurriedly rode out of Zhenbei City to continue to monitor the orc tribes.
Two days later, more news of the Centaurs' defeat came, and Suren had an intuitive judgment of their losses.
A large number of males in the centaur tribe were killed in battle, and the centaur clan, having lost a large number of people, had to gather the scattered small tribes to form a new defense. Driven out by the orcs, the centaur tribe that had integrated the remnants of the clan began to move south!
Hui Yue calendar 1687, early April.
Just when Zhenbei City was hurrying to prepare for war, the first batch of centaurs who moved south came to the other bank of the Baishui River. Separated from the Baishui River, about a hundred kilometers from the northern city of Zhenbei, it was originally the outer territory of the centaur nomadic tribe. After the migration, the centaurs began to drive out nearby goblins and other ethnic groups.
After the Prancing Horse Grassland was occupied by the orcs, the centaur tribe had to move to the southwest region, and Zhenbei City, which lived on the other side of the Baishui River, also felt an external pressure.
The effect of the centaur's westward migration was cascading! The forces that had already been balanced were instantly broken.
The first is that the humans living in Zhenbei City are nervous, and secondly, other ethnic groups living nearby are also vigilant about this, and a large number of goblins, kobolds, and gnolls have been driven away, which has caused the wasteland to become more and more chaotic, and even the number of various monsters near Zhenbei City has increased significantly.
Suren only sent people to monitor these centaur tribes, and did not show hostility, maybe when the orc army came, he would have to use their power.
In fact, the centaur tribe is not easy to deal with, and Suren also relied on the introduction of Owen and their caravan to successfully trade with the centaurs, and in more cases, the centaurs prefer to rob, these centaurs who are proficient in bows and arrows and run fast are famous horse bandits in the northern wastelands.
No matter who it is or what tribe it is, they will rob. The centaur tribe is not very civilized to develop, their forging skills are very limited, and the weapons and equipment they make are not as good as that of humans, and after the outbreak of war with the orc tribe, these centaurs can only think of trading with other tribes in exchange for enough military supplies.
It's just that at this time, basically no tribe believes in them, which directly leads to their shortage of various materials, and in the end, Owen's trading house took a risk, and then successfully reached a deal with the centaur tribe, so that with the materials provided by humans, the centaurs can stalemate with the orc tribe, and even have a slight advantage.
It was only after a few years that the orc tribe did not know that it had merged with that tribe, and then the population increased significantly, which suppressed the centaur tribe.
With a strong enemy, the centaurs will not be able to raid other races as freely as they used to, for fear of attracting more enemies. After the defeat of the Prancing Horse, the Centaur clan not only lost its population, but also became scarce in terms of supplies, and even recently there was not enough food to eat.
The messenger sent by the Samar centaur tribe was still the little mare Misheen, and on the other side, Ayton found that the victorious orc army had become ready to move after a brief repair.
They began to train their troops on a large scale, to train their conscripts, to familiarize them with weapons, to familiarize themselves with the orders of the army, to familiarize themselves with how to cooperate with people, and at the same time to prepare food, and it was clear that they had begun to prepare for the next war.
When the centaur envoy group came to Zhenbei City, there were actually many people who hung up the lottery, which made Su Lun a little strange, even if the centaurs declined, ordinary tribes would not dare to attack them, and now these people obviously came here after a fight.
As for who would intercept the centaur envoys, don't think it must be the orcs. The wolf cavalry, the vanguard of the orcs, has already arrived near the territory of Zhenbei City. These orc tribes from the northeast will directly threaten the security of the territory of Zhenbei City.
......
When I saw Michien again, she looked a little haggard, and it seemed that the defeat had a great impact on them, but she also had a more capable momentum in her, and it was clear that she had grown a lot during this time.
"Good day, Your Excellency Suren. After the meeting, the beautiful little mare Misheen gave Suren a warm hug.
"Good day, Misheen, I am deeply sorry for what happened to you. Feeling the amazing elasticity, Suren said with a smile.
"Your Excellency Suren, I haven't seen you for a few months, and your territory has changed so much. Misheen said as he looked at the high walls of the northern part of the town.
"When we first came here, it was a small town in the middle of nowhere, with a population of less than 2,000, and now it is a city of nearly 10,000 people. ”
"I've heard that you fought a big battle with the orc army some time ago. And also won?"
"It's a fluke. Su Lun said with a wave of his hand.
This time it is the official addition of Zhenbei City and the Centaur Tribe, not just in terms of the degree of trade.
So this time, in addition to being a god horse, there were also a few other leaders in the territory of Zhenbei City. Among them was the High Priest and General Rio Darlie.
Milune wore a pure white robe with a beautiful pattern of leaves, which was clearly not something that centaurs could make.
When Suren's eyes fell on the chest of the beautiful little mare, he couldn't help but be stunned. The peaks on this girl's chest are towering, and the cost is really big. With a sigh, Suren welcomed the centaur envoys into the lord's castle.
Most of the residents of Zhenbei Fort had never seen a centaur before, and it was natural to be amazed to see this mythical creature for the first time.
This time, the Centaur Envoys were more numerous than the first time, with more than sixty strong Centaur warriors, which gave Suren a slight headache when arranging them.
