"Hoo!" Heavy breathing mixed with the sound of heavy steps came. The ground trembled with the resonance of the steps, and scattered soil clods jumped up and down on the ground.
A fiery red dragon flag appeared on the horizon, and the golden holy dragon emblem with its claws and fangs flashed in the sun. Rows of neat shield walls appeared in everyone's field of vision, and the rapid infantry wearing heavy mail armor lined up.
A neat team gathered around the big flag, and behind them were a total of 500 heavily armed archers on foot - Battanian archers! There were 25 El Niño rangers with swords and bows on each side, the smallest number.
They are the most terrifying killers hidden among them. The name of dragon hunters gives them the courage to fight with any enemy! It is enough for these 50 El Niño rangers to keep the distance between them and let the centaurs
They suffered heavy casualties.
"Woooooo~" Young centaurs and their mothers emerged from the withered woods, and then a dozen older centaurs also came out tremblingly, raising their weapons. It seemed that
It seems that he is going to fight for his life with Roland and others.
Verve hurriedly stepped forward, and after speaking in Elvish language that he couldn't understand, the old, weak, sick and disabled disarmed their weapons, but the wariness and anger in their eyes could not be concealed.
"My army is coming!" Roland turned his head and looked at the infantry who were slowly pressing over, and a smile appeared on his lips. Now even if the Centaurs really want to fight again, they have no chance. 700 Bataan
The Nian Archer's multiple arrow covering shots can completely make the Centaur feel distressed and shut down, and there is also the El Niño Ranger, known as the dragon hunter. More importantly, the rapid infantry with superior stasis power can completely make the Centaur shut down.
If you can't charge, if you really fight, there will be nothing but massacre!
"Your Highness!" Renault came on horseback, and the rhythmic sacred aura on his body showed that he had blessed everyone along the way, so that they could come quickly.
"Thank you!" Roland nodded affirmatively. Although Renault sometimes has his flaws, he is absolutely reliable at critical moments! What's going on with the Governor of the North?
"What did they say? Your Highness?" Renault looked at the centaur who was confronting the knights and horse archers.
"That's it..." Roland quickly told Renault the story of the centaur.
"So tragic?" Renault's eyes widened. Isn't this a typical scapegoat? If it hadn't been for this encounter, who would have known that there was actually a sacrifice from the poor Centaur family behind the Gushan War?
"But don't tell me, it's really useful!" Renault suddenly smiled mysteriously, licked his lips, and showed an expression in his eyes that only Roland could understand.
"It's... bad to do this..." Roland is a "child" who has received nine years of compulsory education. Some people say that doing this is a bit immoral...
"Isn't His Highness excited? This is an existence comparable to 300 knights at a critical moment!" Renault whispered.
"Hey! What are you muttering about? We centaurs will not give in! Our old and weak tribesmen can't survive without leaving here!" Balder said with his neck turned red. He didn't know there was a lord here before.
At that time, they were blushing because of the anger of Lagrand's "invasion". Now that they know the owner of this place, they are blushing because of shame. But Baldur is unwilling to take a step back! Having lost their shelter, they can only be young and strong in the winter.
At the end of his life in the wilderness, women, children and the elderly would surely be littered with corpses... He had no way to retreat.
"Your Highness, look, they can't survive without here, why not just... like this?" Renault winked, his eyes full of expectation.
"What kind of riddles are you trying to play again?" Kaslo saw from the corner of his eye these two live treasures who were constantly making little moves and winking, and couldn't help but have doubts in his mind. How could it be that in such a serious situation in front of the two armies, it felt like these two were visiting the vegetable market? Let's talk to him.
The old ladies who buy groceries are just as picky and haggled.
"How about this?" Roland said with a guilty conscience. It felt immoral to him.
"That must be the case! It's a win-win situation!" Renault immediately gave a thumbs up.
"Is it really good? Like this?" Roland wasn't sure.
"This is the best way!" Renault affirmed.
"Ahem!" Roland raised his fist under his mouth and coughed a few times, then adjusted his clothes.
"Then Lord Badr, in the name of King Lagrand, I will ennoble this place to live with you for the winter! Let's temporarily name this place Tupt Forest! From now on, you will be the lord of this place! Now you can kneel down and be loyal to me.
Already! Lord Tuput Badr!" Roland said in a loud voice.
"What?" Verve's jaw was dislocated in an instant, and the elf's elegance was thrown away thousands of miles away. This King Roland is going to recruit an army of centaurs!
"This..." The corners of Kaslo's eyes kept twitching. Is His Highness crazy? Who doesn't know that centaurs are on the list of xenophobic races in Middle-earth, and they are also at the top. He actually dares to even think about centaurs...
It really looks like Raglan the Great...
"Tell me! Your! Choice!" Roland looked at Badr with cold eyes.
"Your Highness the King, we only hope to stay for a while, and we will definitely be richly rewarded in the future! Allegiance is not necessary..." Balder looked at Lagrand's army, which numbered more than a thousand, and had to say bravely. It's not that he is not tough,
It’s really unbeatable! An army of a thousand professionals is something that even an army of orcs must consider before they see it!
"Either surrender and be loyal to me! Or leave this place! Or... be buried here!" Roland gave him no chance to argue.
"..." Badr's eyes were red, and emotions such as anger, unwillingness, struggle, helplessness, and sadness kept flashing through his eyes, and finally...
"Plop!" Badr knelt down on his two front legs. He looked at the tribesmen behind him and had to close his eyes in pain.
"Badr, the chief of the Tuput tribe, is willing to offer you my loyalty! From now on, I will fight for you! I will respond to your calls and orders, and at the same time, I ask you to protect me!" Badr said each word with his eyes closed.
Pain said, for the stubborn centaurs, once they have sworn the oath of allegiance, they will never betray it in their lives, because their belief in advocating nature makes them extremely simple and loyal.
"I accept your allegiance! I canonize you as Baron Tuput! Tuput Forest will be your fief! Your people will be your subjects! In your territory you will have the right to collect taxes and recruit soldiers here.
Troops, management of government affairs and other rights. At the same time, you need to abide by the laws of the country and assume your own obligations! From now on, you will fight side by side with me. You will use the sword and plow in your hands to open up territory and gain glory! The glory of Lagrand will follow you.
Move forward! Dragon God protects you and me!" After speaking, Roland tapped Badr's shoulders with the tip of his sword.
"Get back on your feet! Baron Bader!" Roland said with a satisfied smile, this wave of blood is worth the profit!
"Good guy..." Kaslo muttered, how big a chess game did Renault and Roland play? In a short time, the whole family was deceived!
