Their upper bodies are no different from humans, but their faces are extremely ugly, and their lower bodies are like war horse bodies, which gives them extremely excellent running ability. When they run, they look like the best knights.
Just like that, man and horse are one, coming and going like the wind.
They are good at using heavy weapons such as spears or swords, and are also very good at using bows and arrows. The archery skills of the most powerful centaur elders and warriors are even comparable to those of the night elves' rangers, and they also have centaur blood.
The strange elemental power makes it easy for these barbarians to awaken spellcasting abilities similar to those of shamans.
But the centaur blood flows with chaotic and rebellious blood. In the secret books of the night elves druids, there are records of the centaur bloodline.
"They are evil people who should not appear. The crime of patricide flows in their blood. They are the rebellious sons of twisted nature and the earth... They are born destroyers."
Of course, the word destroyer is always a bit exaggerated when used to describe centaurs, but in fact, the centaur clan wandering on the land of Kalimdor did once push many civilizations to the brink of destruction.
The nature of these marauders determines that they cannot give birth to a civilization that is too mature. Although there are currently a large number of centaurs in Kalimdor, they have deep conflicts with each other, just like a large gang.
Unless a talented and strategic leader comes forward to unite the entire tribe through war, their civilization can only go so far.
The centaurs call their leader "Khan", which means conqueror, and the Khans are often the most violent and powerful ones in the entire clan. They only think about blood and massacre.
, no other thoughts.
"Wow!"
Like a rushing wind across the land, like a migrating herd of animals trampling on the grassland, the Khan of the Kokar tribe carries a heavy metal sword in his hand, carries a war bow made of the sinews of the thunder beast, and carries a bloody war flag on his back, leading his people
Running under the night in the Barrens, the Khan wore a mask made of bones on his face. His black hair and mane swayed back in the strong wind. His upper body was covered with scars. It was a sign of bravery.
proof of.
In short, this tall barbarian leader looks majestic.
Looking at the entire Centaur force in Kalimdor, the Kokar tribe living in the Barrens is not even considered to be in the middle class. It is just a small tribe with less than 5,000 people, let alone those in Desolate Land.
Compared to the large tribe with more than 100,000 members, even the people from the Thousand Needles Stone Forest disdain to come into contact with them.
But the Khan of Kokar is ambitious. The disastrous defeat in the war against the orcs a few years ago was regarded by him as a shame. But now, from the Arathi people who migrated to Dustwallow Swamp, he sees the hope of a powerful tribe. As long as
If enough supplies can be plundered, a centaur tribe can rise very quickly.
Although defeating those heavily armed humans required the help of the ogres, and a lot of supplies were needed to satisfy the appetites of those idiots, Khan thought this was acceptable.
One day, the bloody battle flag of the Kokar tribe will be planted all over the barren land, and the orcs who brought him shameful failure will also pay with blood!
Khan imagined the beautiful scene of his revenge in his mind, which made the blood in his body burst out. When he approached the intersection of Dustwallow Swamp and the Barrens, Khan took off the war bow from his back and drew out a
He fired a bone arrow without looking, and with a roar, the Arathi warrior patrolling the intersection of Dustwallow Swamp fell down.
This arrow also represents the beginning of the war between the Centaur tribe and the Kingdom of Stromgard.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The shrill alarm sounded throughout the sentry post. The corporal guarding the place saw the black shadow of the incoming centaur almost all over the grassland among the shadows. He decisively applied for support from the rear.
A few minutes later, the knights and infantrymen at several outposts set up by the Kingdom of Stromgard in the southwest of Dustwallow Swamp were awakened. Under the scolding of their superiors, they put on their armor, mounted their horses, and carried the heavy weapons.
The steam repeating rifles rushed towards the sentry post under attack, but soon, the reinforcements who arrived here suddenly discovered that the Kokar Centaur from the Barrens came almost in full force. Facing 5,000 brave centaur warriors,
This small amount of reinforcements would not last until dawn the next day.
As a result, an alarm was sent further back, and King Garin, who had fallen asleep, was even awakened. After considering the current situation, the king decisively sent out an infantry regiment and half a knight regiment in the city.
.
The Stromgard army that followed King Garin to Dustwallow Swamp originally numbered nearly 30,000 people. With the continuous arrival of civilians, the number of troops reached 45,000. However, Dustwallow
The area of the swamp is no smaller than that of the Arathi Highlands. With these 40,000 people guarding an entire province and also participating in supporting the immigrants from Thousand Needles in the south, the strength of the Kingdom of Stromgard is seriously insufficient.
After the reinforcements were discharged, the defense of the port city named "New Stromgarde" by Garin became weak, but King Garin was not worried, because in the port on the edge of the city that had just been built, a prototype
, and there is a large group of battleships waiting for orders.
Although the pirates who had been trained for more than ten days were far from loyal, the ten Kul Tiran warships led by Prince Tanred Proudmoore were enough to bring a sense of security to the residents of the city.
Already.
"Why does this feel a little weird?"
After being awakened, King Garin's sleepiness also disappeared. He put on his robe and led a team of knights to walk on the road to New Stromgarde. This city took a month to build, but due to lack of manpower and lack of skills,
The craftsmen have not even built the city wall yet.
Outside the city is a field cultivated by farmers. The crops are growing pretty well. Strangely enough, this swamp is full of potholes, but next to the swamp, there is solid land, which is very suitable for farming.
With the food purchased from the goblins and the maturation of these fields, New Stromgarde has enough capacity to support more immigrants.
But on this night, King Garin felt that his heart could not calm down, just like the night before the demon invaded. His instinct was telling him that something was about to happen.
And it's still a bad thing.
With this instinctive warning of doubt, King Garin strolled up to a watchtower in the city. He grabbed a telescope and looked irritably into the swamp outside the city. Under the cloudy sky, he almost
He couldn't see much, but when the flash of fire passed through the swampy jungle, the king saw some figures that shouldn't be there.
Those tall, chaotic teams with torches moving quickly through the jungle...
"Let the Griffin Knight take off and scout in that direction!"
The king turned to his guards and shouted: "Go to the barracks to gather the soldiers who can still fight, and go to the harbor to inform General Tanred... New Stromgarde... we have guests!"
———————————————
"Ouch! Capture the city! Everyone has meat to eat!"
Tigosh, who was lifted up on a "stretcher" by several strong ogres, sat comfortably on his "throne" of bones. There was also an ogre guard helping him carry a heavy bone-crushing hammer. This fully armed
, the strong and savage two-headed ogre leader shouts some weird words from time to time, and the messy ogres following him often burst into noisy cheers when they hear the leader's shouts.
As an ogre leader, Tagosh is "smarter" than other stupid ogres, and he himself has seen "big scenes", so compared to his compatriots who are excited about the upcoming war,
Tagosh was very calm.
This ogre is no ordinary...
Tygosh has never revealed his past to others, but this guy is indeed one of the first ogre slave warriors to follow the orcs of the tribe into Azeroth. He has seen with his own eyes the majestic human Stormwind City.
The scene of the orcs falling under the fearless attack of the orcs, and the terrifying scene of the humans defeating the orcs' main formation in one go in the Burning Plains.
Compared to those big battles involving hundreds of thousands of people, this battle in front of him was just a "joke" in his opinion.
Tagosh is an ogre with a story. After the tribe was defeated, Tagosh wandered around the Greatmaul Stone in the Burning Plains for a while, where he also commanded an ogre tribe and colluded with the Blackstone Orcs.
Together, he made a living by digging the ores in the Great Mallet Peak. At that time, he lived a very happy and free life. Tagosh even hoped that such a life could last forever.
But it is a pity that the arrival of the Dark Blade Undead destroyed everything in Tagosh. When he saw the all-devouring black tide rolling towards the Black Rock Tower, Tagosh realized that no one can resist these horrors.
The ghost of the dead, so he left everything he owned and ran away late one night.
He went to Stranglethorn Vale, bought a goblin boat ticket with the money he brought with him, and then wandered all the way to Kalimdor. He spent a few months unifying the ogre tribe in the Barrens, and then returned to Kalimdor.
Encountered the major event of the migration of the orcs, Tagosh, who had been a slave, had no favorable impression of the orcs, but he knew that the orcs united together were very powerful, so he took his loyal subordinates and ran to Dustwallow Swamp.
Then he led his clan to fight with the local Stonemaul Ogres, and became the leader of the Stonemaul Ogres.
This ogre really has a story...but now he no longer has the little thoughts he had when he was a slave. Tagosh has strong soldiers and horses, and the tribe of more than 6,000 ogres is already a powerful force in Dustwallow Swamp.
A very large force. A few months ago, he led his clan to drive the Horrible Totem Tauren of Brackenwall Village out of Dustwallow Swamp. Tagosh considered this swamp to be his territory, but humans
The arrival of Tegosh shattered Tegosh's dream of becoming king and hegemon.
So now, he wants to give this group of ignorant humans a lesson, just like driving away the tauren, and drive them out of their own land! He wants to destroy the human kingdom, and Dust Mud Swamp will always belong to stone.
Mallet Ogre's!
"Roar! Drive away the humans! This land belongs to Stonemaul!"
Thinking of this, Tagosh's two heads let out a roar at the same time, causing the ogres behind him to roar together. They were very close to New Stromgarde, and Tagosh could even see
When he arrived, the city's walls had not yet been repaired, which made him feel that he had a chance to win.
The clever Tagosh has already used the centaurs as bait to attract part of the human army. The rest are far from the opponent of more than 6,000 ogres!
"Wow"
The griffin knight quickly landed next to the heavily armed King Garin, and he quickly reported:
"The ogres from the depths of the swamp came out in full force. Your Majesty, according to their footsteps, they set out at nightfall. The surprise attack of those centaurs was not accidental. These barbarians united together.
..”
"ah!"
Galin angrily kicked away the stone at his feet. He turned back to look at the scout and asked:
"How many of them are there?"
The scout swallowed, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes:
"At least 6,000 people! Your Majesty, our city cannot stop so many ogres..."
"We must stop! Soldier!"
King Jialin did not show much fear. After experiencing the demon invasion and the war with the Dark Blade Undead, it was difficult for King Jialin to be timid. He looked back at the soldiers behind him.
, he shouted loudly:
"Soldiers of Stromgard! We were defeated by the undead and driven into this barbaric land. Now...even the mere ogres want to bully us...Can you bear this tone?
?”
"Shua"
The king suddenly drew his sword, and his voice became violent:
"I can't bear it! I'm going to rip these damn ogres apart! New Stromgarde is here! It's right behind us... No one can destroy our last home!"
"Come with me! Let's... go kill those ignorant ogres!"
