Vol 5 Chapter 15: The road to 0 account city (on)

The blue sea is like a sea of ​​turbulence.
Under the vast sky, only the vigorous eagle left his track on the dome.
As Byrne's army traveled eastward, the world became more and more empty; what he saw in front of him was an expansive grassland, and there was a long wind whizzing past him, and he could no longer see any difference.
If there were n’t any Boe horses who were familiar with it as a guide in the front, I am afraid that the army could not find the correct direction of Qianjiang City on the map alone for a year.
In order to save the Thousand-Town City that was besieged by the Centaur Army, it was also to avoid that the entire Poi was divided into east and west, and was finally completely squashed by the Centaur to the Great Green Sea and the serious consequences of the invasion of Bayern and even the hinterland of the Empire; Bayern I The army of fifteen thousand knights had to head north and set foot on the road to Thousand Account City.
In the face of the confrontation of Master Harlemfan Achamai, Earl Seth Braha finally dared not conceal any more, and fully enshrined the detailed process of the entire incident to completely confess.
After finally figuring out the reason, the knight lords who had some sympathy for Poi were upset; if it was not Eckert who stopped in time, several ears who were injured in the raid the night before were ready to draw a sword and cut him. Braha split alive.
Despite the extreme anger at the irresponsible action of Grand Duke Varna, the whole army agreed to rush to the Thousand Accounts City and then find a way to rescue Grand Duke Laszlo Varna.
More importantly, once Poi fell, the next invaded Byrne and East Sakland—whether it was the invasion of the homeland, or the empire took the opportunity to intervene in Eastern affairs, it was an extremely severe blow to Byrne.
In the words of Count Angut, that is: "Although this old thing is a bastard, it is also our bastard; before we flatten his old face and then spit him, we must first find a way to save him back!"
For Count Braha, he hoped that Baine ’s army would first rescue the Grand Duke Varna who was in trouble; but in the present situation, he also knew that he did not have much voice, so he had to remain silent.
After crossing a great plain and walking eastward, the army of Byrne finally came to the junction of the two domains of Little Boy and Big Boy.
Next, you only need to walk along Hebei to find the road to Qianhao City.
Although it seems that the entire army's schedule is very urgent, Qiancheng City is at stake; but in fact, even the Boi Huqi are not a little nervous, even easier than when they came.
The reason is simple-although there are as many as tens of thousands of Centaurs besieging Thousand Accounts City, Thousand Accounts City is the only strong fort with stone walls in the entire Green Sea.
Although the Centaur has obtained several trebuchets and ballistas, it is not easy to deal with the heavy blue bricks and the special mountain rocks of Sacran; and it is well known that the four legs of the Centaur cannot climb the city walls.
Even if one or two towers are destroyed, it does n’t make much sense to this group of "natural cavalry"; even if the city gate is broken, the narrow passages and various traps in the fortress are also not "friendly" to the cavalry.
So rescue such a fortified and well-stocked masonry fortress; the Baine army can even advance while resting; at the same time, find a way to contact the Jonah army and prepare to attack the gargoyle clan army before and after the fortress.
"... So, you know the race of centaur very well?"
Riding on horseback, Loren asked as if casually mentioned, his eyes turned to Master Azhamai on his side.
"Centaur ... That's right, since the Durma Bachelor's biography was published, the Empire has called them that way."
Azhamai sighed and shook his head in a tone of "I knew you would ask":
"In fact, this name was the earliest scorn with strong insults; the history of the centaur is actually not much shorter than that of our human beings, and some even speculate that the birth of this race may be before humans."
"And they generally call themselves" four-hoofed people "... By the way, they are generally called" two-footed people "for humans, and there are also" no hairy people "or" pink-skinned people ". Like humans, there are also very few Centaurs who really understand us. "
"History?" Loren raised his eyebrows. "You mean ..."
"Yes, Centaurs are not a primitive barbaric race as we imagined, or simply similar to ogre monsters, like beasts."
Achamai nodded and explained to Loren with some interest: "In fact, they have a fairly complete system, a very old and long-established poetry culture, and a 'shaman' sect mixed with primitive beliefs and magic. . "
"Institution ... what kind of system?" Loren asked alertly: "Is it like an empire, or is it Ebdon or Byrne, or the horseback people of Great Poi?"
"It's not very similar-it's hard to say that there is a combination of the imperial conscription system and the nomadic customs of the Boi people." Achamai groaned:
"There are a total of eight tribes in the centaur, as you already know; they call each tribe a" flag ", the leader is the" flag master ", and the strongest of the eight flags are elected as" big " 'Khan', or Sakran is the chief. "
"The earliest centaur only had four tribes; namely Hankong, Chiyan, Baihe, and Huangmang; later there were four branches of Changfeng, Firehoof, Bailang, and Barren Soil, which formed the current" flag master "system. . "
"Under this system, the centaur of each tribe is both the bloodlord's blood relatives, as well as the flaglord's slaves, laborers, and soldiers; all honor and shame and power and wealth are tied to the flaglord." Achamai's expression changed It must be dignified a lot:
"War is the most effective state of this system. All the centaurs are part of the army-in this respect, even the empire ’s conscription system ca n’t compete with it, so despite their small number, they can always be used again and again. Launch a massive invasion at once. "
"So fighting against their army is fighting against their entire tribe ... is that true?" Loren frowned, somewhat unbelievable.
"Not only that, but you also have to fight against their supporters behind the scenes." Achamai said in an indescribable tone: "Throughout every Centaur War, it has never been really simple-this is the case with the Black Duke Now I do n’t see any difference this time. "
Loren's eyes narrowed into a slit and he was lost in thought.
"So, who knows what it will turn out to be in the end?" Achamai continued to say: "There are even heavy crossbows and catapults, and then even if a full armor appears, wearing a dwarven armor The appearance of the 'Heavy Cavalry Centaur' does not seem to be surprising. "
"But after all, if even the" Heavy Cavalry Centaur "appeared, what would be impossible-the next thing is that even ancient evil gods, devil apostles, or oath knights will come out ... , If you change from a unilateral invasion into a few melee battles, it would be very interesting ... "
He was still talking to himself without saying a word, but he did n’t see the grotesque expression beside him getting more and more strange, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes ~ EbookFREE.me ~ As the dark-haired wizard was about to interrupt him, a cry of a ranger suddenly came in front of him, and a sharp horn blazed across the blue dome.
"The whole army is on alert!"
Earl Eckert ’s dull and thunderous roar suddenly sounded, and the horse ran from the front of the army: "Infantry phalanx arrayed on the spot, the cavalry stepped forward, be prepared-!"
At that moment, Loren's expression looked at Achamai extremely black, and he was really even in the mood to kill him.
But ... shouldn't it?
That's right ... It's almost approaching Qiancheng City, and it's no surprise even if it encounters an enemy; it's not that the other party guessed it, it's just the expected situation-heavy cavalry centaur, how is it possible ... …
Just as the dark-haired wizard desperately tried to comfort himself in the bottom of his heart, the front-line Rangers ran again, and the nervous roar shook the sky:
"Heavy cavalry, heavy cavalry rushed towards this side !!!!!!"
