The priest of boulder fortress had limited knowledge of the course of the war. He just asked his highness Randall to support the assembly point set up by commander testier according to the summons of the shining knights, and provided a map.
The priest arranged five best horned wolves for Victor and his entourage, and prepared enough dry meat, bread, water and crude sugar. Because Caligula was so big, he could only walk, while Nelson and four alchemists rode on hornwolves.
In fact, the assembly point of testier is not far from the gate of death. Victor leads the retinue on foot to get to the destination faster. But his goal was not the assembly point in the hinterland of Sidon khanate, but Duncan fortress, a distant Eastern defense line. The situation ahead is unclear. Victor must be well prepared for battle. At this time, he must try to save the physical strength of the squire to cope with the worst situation.
All this shows that the assembly point originally belonged to the camp of a centaur tribe.
Victor and his entourage jumped off the mount. The horned wolf shook the dew on his body and was led out to eat by the camp guards. The corpses of centaurs and goblins were stacked in the open space outside the camp gate. Some horned wolves, sword mantis and one horned lions picked fat and tender flesh to bite and devour, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Most of the soldiers in the camp wore the fine armor of the kingdom of Neville, and some people painted the Eagle Crest of the RAND empire on their leather armor. Their faces could not see the joy of cleaning up the Centaur gathering place. Everyone was silent and dignified, with a depressing atmosphere of a rainstorm coming.
Before the guard led Victor to the campfire in the center of the camp, TESL and his highness came out to meet him. In addition to King Rex and the two Golden Knights of Neville, Victor also met Neo West.
The two sides exchanged greetings and sat down around the campfire. Victor listened to testier''s narration and gradually understood what happened.
Half a month ago, the Centaurs of nandaying were divided into two groups and successfully broke through and moved towards the hinterland of Sidon Khanate. However, their crisis has just begun because they are extremely short of supplies and can''t find food along the way.
If the Sidon Khanate is divided into the East and the west, the once most powerful black hoof tribe will occupy the western territory of the Sidon khanate, and the other six Centaur tribes will seize this area. With the collapse of the black hoof tribe, the vast western region of Sidon Khanate has become a real wilderness. There are no goblin slaves to plant green wheat. The fields are deserted and overgrown with weeds. Green wheat has become wild wheat, and there is no yield.
The Centaur army attacked the eastern frontier of the Sassanian Empire and confronted the human Coalition for more than a year. The green wheat and prey that can be eaten in the western region have long been exhausted. When they all evacuate, they must first cross the grain free area in the West.
Food supply is always the primary issue in military operations, whether attacking or retreating.
For example, an adult spotted tiger needs a territory of 80 to 100 square kilometers. If there are two spotted tigers in the territory, they must fight each other, otherwise both spotted tigers will starve to death. Although centaurs are omnivorous, they eat more than humans. Hundreds of centaurs can find something to eat on the road through the barren wilderness. Tens of thousands of centaurs can only eat soil.
Therefore, large-scale cluster operations are not the strengths of centaurs. Their logistics organization ability is too poor.
In fact, centaurs are strong and can run to the eastern territory with abundant food when they are hungry. However, the brilliant knights had long formulated a complete set of strategies and tactics to eliminate the main force around the food problem of the centaurs, so that the Centaurs of the North Camp and the South Camp could merge, mainly to consume the food of the main force of the Centaurs. It can be said that the heroic battle is an appetizer, and the hanging of Centaur soldiers in the desolate West is a carnival feast.
More than 200000 elite cavalry, two men and three horses, carrying beans, pastries, crude sugar and dried meat for more than 20 days, followed the two Centaur armies eastward. When they found the opportunity, they ate the small centaurs. The Centaurs turned around and dispersed immediately. They gathered and scattered from time to time, which is the most traditional wolf pack tactics of the vassal army.
The Centaur army wants to quickly get rid of the pursuers. They will die faster if they are hungry. In order to preserve their fighting strength, the marching speed of the Centaurs has dropped to a low point. It would have taken only ten days to cross the western wilderness where food is scarce. They have walked for half a month and are still hundreds of kilometers away from the East.
Centaurs need food and rest, and the longer they march, the more dangerous they are. On the contrary, the Eastern Development Leading coalition tried to entangle the main force of the Centaur and bought time for the reinforcements of boulder fortress to sweep the territory of the eastern centaur.
The human cavalry brought supplies, and their horses could eat grass. How much physical strength can centaurs supplement by eating grass? The human Legion is in good shape, and the Centaur seems to be trapped in a Jedi.
As expected, their troops scattered.
The Centaur army was first divided into tribes, and the tribes were divided into small groups of centaurs. They moved and looked for food. They ran as much as they could.
It''s not easy for Centaur gangs to find something to eat. Many hungry centaurs have an eye on humans. As long as they annihilate a human pursuit, they have everything. Some centaurs actively seek war, and some centaurs can safely run back to their nest. So the Centaur gang ran into human pursuers and rushed over. The wild Centaur hunter would rather die than starve.
This is exactly what the human Legion wants. If centaurs charge in groups on the plain, no human cavalry can stop them. They are hundreds of one or several eleven, which is much easier to deal with. With two auxiliary cavalry teams, the Warcraft knights can easily destroy hundreds of centaurs. If they encounter the golden Centaur commander, they will summon high-level knights and priests to encircle and kill.
As the Centaur group became more and more dispersed, the human Legion had to divide more cavalry teams to hunt each other in the vast wilderness.
According to Victor''s experience from movies, war like this is called smashing war.
But for thousands of years, human cavalry has been fighting against centaurs like this?
Ordinary Viscount Lords have only a few hundred vassal soldiers. They have received military training since childhood and specialize in "bad war". Their cooperative combat ability and field survival ability are unimaginable to outsiders like Victor.
However, no matter how rich the experience of the "bad war" of the vassal soldiers is, there are inevitable defects: fighting on their own, command failure, and no one can be found.
This is not a big problem. Because the Centaur is the same. At least the human Legion will set up several temporary assembly points in the back. Each cavalry team can go back to rest, heal wounds, change horses, deliver booty and summarize the war report. Centaurs have nothing. They dare not stop. They starve when they stop.
Well, there''s no worst, only worse.
The risk of bad war happens randomly. Do you know what you''ll encounter?
The turning point took place six days ago when a Sassanian cavalry team found a large number of centaurs, more than 3000. The outcome of the encounter between the two sides is self-evident. The escaped cavalry passed the news to the blood wolf knights. The blood wolf Knight knew from experience that he touched a big fish and was ready to call high-level knights and high-level priests to encircle and suppress the Centaur. However, the blood wolf Knights have been divided into four groups, with emperor Sasan and Archduke taking one respectively. The two Golden Knights of the blood wolf family have been in place one after another, but the other two blood wolf knights and auxiliary cavalry have not arrived, and the other Warcraft knights are far away.
Frederick led the blood wolf Knights behind the Centaur. At this time, a centaur suddenly left the team and charged the half blood wolf Knights alone!
The ferocious soldiers of the blood wolf family had long warned Emperor Frederick, but where was there no danger on the battlefield?
The charging speed of this Centaur is unparalleled. It is beyond the ability of the Golden Knight of the earth. It can''t cope with escape or pursuit.
With a strong bow and crossbow, it went straight to Emperor Frederick. The accompanying high-level priest blessed Frederick with the fifth level divine skill - divine protection, and Frederick temporarily obtained the legendary combat power. When he was ready to fight, the Centaur turned bright yellow. It was a legendary Centaur that awakened the talent of earth armor!
The legendary Centaur suddenly changed its goal and turned to Archduke Frederick on the other side.
The high priest reacted quickly and forced a sacred shelter to Archduke Frederick. At the moment of the collision between the two sides, Duke Frederick''s Secret silver decapitation sword struck him, the earth cracked, the soil turned into powder, and he himself was hit hard by the Centaur.
Archduke Frederick fell.
The legendary Centaur defeated his opponent, broke through the obstruction of the blood wolf knight, and rushed to the energy exhausted high-level priest. Emperor Frederick led the blood wolf Knights under his command to surround it. In the process of struggle between the two sides, the Centaur team roared to join the battle, including a large number of ferocious Centaur commanders and several centaurs.
Finally, the dominant number of centaurs won, the Emperor Frederick fell, the high-ranking priest fell, five silver Knights fell, half of the blood wolf knights were almost wiped out, and only a few knights and cavalry escaped.
The subsequent intelligence showed that the legendary Centaur led the team to rest in place and deal with the spoils. The whole team turned around and close to the west, annihilated several cavalry teams along the way, rescued and closed the Centaur Gang, and its power grew stronger and stronger. The latest news shows that the Centaur Khan gathered more than 10000 Centaur soldiers to enter the East Development Zone. By this time, they should have reached the eastern defense line of the Sassanian Empire and reached Duncan fortress.
The cold wet night wind made the campfire pale. Testier exhaled a white mist, turned to victor and asked, "Your Highness, what do you think of the next situation?"
Testier ordered to suspend the military action to sweep the Centaur territory, reconnoitre everywhere and assemble all kinds of cavalry teams.
It''s January of the water season, and all the green wheat that hasn''t been harvested is rotten. There is a lack of male soldiers of Centaur tribes; Food supplies were entangled in the barren western region by human cavalry. Fight, fight, run, run, they have fallen into a desperate situation.
The Centaur big Khan''s team is the only Centaur who can fight on a small scale and defeat the Knights directly, but they seem unable to recover the tragic fate of the Centaur tribe. Sidon Khanate is vast, with a total area of nearly 5 million square kilometers, and the western region accounts for half.
More than 100000 centaurs and 200000 elite human cavalry scattered in the vast wilderness, attacking and killing each other. How many human cavalry can Centaur Khan meet? How many centaurs can you save?
It''s good for them to support the war. The longer they can search for prey and the more centaurs they gather, the less food they have and the more difficult their situation will be.
The wisest choice for the legendary Centaur is to lead his men directly to the east of the khanate, regardless of the rest of the Centaur gang. But it chose to gather the Centaur soldiers and attack the core hinterland of the Sassanian empire!
The cavalry cannot cope with the Centaur cluster, and the human Legion must assemble its forces. As a result, the pressure on other Centaur groups has decreased sharply, and most of them can escape to the eastern region.
However, the legendary Centaur team is still facing food shortage. Their only way to survive is to break through the eastern defense line and sweep the eastern hinterland of the Sassanian empire. However, the defense system of the eastern defense line is perfect, the sentries are connected, the barracks are dense, there are heavy equipment, 150000 garrison troops and 80000 mobile cavalry. It is impossible for more than 10000 soldiers to penetrate the eastern defense line intact.
Victor could even imagine that they attacked the camp in order to plunder food and suffered heavy casualties. Even if a small number of ferocious centaurs successfully break through the eastern defense line, they are unlikely to escape alive.
The legendary Centaur chose the Jedi to fight back, survive in death and bear the fate of the Sidon Centaur, so it is the Centaur Khan.
Will the chief of the shining Knights do as it wishes?
Testier''s order to assemble cavalry is a necessary political gesture. Victor doubts whether he will spare the scattered Centaur groups and spare no effort to rescue the eastern defense line.
The fall of Emperor Frederick and Archduke will set off a huge wave within the sassanne empire. When testier chose to return to the division for help, it was too late and could not change the fact that the Basilius royal family recovered the iron mountain empire. The brilliant knights can only use the bones of centaurs to build a brilliant victory in order to stabilize the overall situation. However, who dares to bear the responsibility of watching the legendary Centaur wreak havoc in the hinterland of the Sassanian Empire and refusing to rescue the people.
The attitude of the count of golden eyes is very important. With his background, reputation and extraordinary achievements in this war, if he bites this thing and refuses to let go, the testier family will be very passive.
However, Gillian, the main reinforcements of Gambis, the next generation backbone trained by Randall family and Victor''s only recognized lover Miss chebman, and Roland, who is ambiguous with victor His highness Auguste is in the eastern defense line. Can Victor give up?
Victor is not a high-level knight. He has the same sensibility as the sword Saint delavin, which is not only their unique charm, but also their shortcomings. What will Victor''s reaction be? TESL has no idea.
Victor stared at the campfire for a long time, turned his eyes to King Rex, smiled and asked, "cousin, what will happen to you when you encounter the legendary Centaur?"
Rex said proudly, "the Centaur doesn''t have any martial arts skills. I may not be able to hit it. It certainly can''t hit me. Finally, it''s fighting for endurance." He paused and said with a smile, "well... I can''t spell it and run it. I''m afraid I''ll be planted in its hand."
Victor nodded and said, "the high-level knight is close to the origin of the world and is a truly extraordinary life. Although the racial talent of the legendary Centaur is powerful, with the martial arts of the Golden Knight, Emperor Frederick and Archduke can deal with it and even force it back."
"The problem is that the high-ranking priest made a fatal mistake. How did he make a mistake? It was the Centaur Great Khan who made him make a mistake, attacked the blood wolf Knights alone, made him doubt, and blessed the Emperor Frederick with divine protection just in case; the Centaur Great Khan suddenly changed his goal, avoided the waiting Golden Knight, locked Duke Frederick, and showed the legend The racial talent, shocked by the high-ranking priest, did not think at all, and forcibly exercised the second divine shelter to bless Archduke Frederick. "
"With the sudden increase of power, Archduke Frederick needs a little time to adjust, but the legendary Centaur has rushed in front of him. He can only choose to fight hard rather than compete with his opponent with extraordinary martial arts. He can''t fight the legendary centaur. Archduke Frederick falls, the Emperor Frederick loses his strong support, the high-ranking priest runs out of energy, and thousands of centaurs attack with all their strength, Philip Emperor Trey was surrounded and killed by the strong Centaur, and the blood wolf knights were destroyed. "
Everyone''s expression is more dignified. Everyone knows this truth. It has inexplicable meaning when it is said from his highness Randall''s mouth.
Victor turned to testier and asked, "is this the wisdom of Centaur Martha Khan or its spiritual intuition?"
Testier shook his head and said, "this Centaur is the favorite of the white tail tribe. The territory of the white tail Centaur is in the east of Sidon Khanate. The white tail Centaur has hardly fought with us. It doesn''t know the Golden Knight and high-level clergy. It must not be wisdom, but the touch of the soul."
Victor''s mouth pulled out a cold smile and said faintly, "it''s a powerful opponent."
Count golden eye only talked about the strength of the Centaur Khan, and never mentioned the development of the situation. Tesle gave King Neville a hidden look. Rex, who had a rough appearance, understood, fiddled with the bonfire and said: "Cousin Victor, let me be frank. The supply point in the war zone of boulder fortress is located near the gate of death. I know how much food supply there is. Now we raise food and grass and gather our troops. It will take at least two months to help the East defense line thousands of kilometers away. At that time, what should have happened happened, and it won''t work if we go."
"We haven''t been able to contact the Northern Line regiment led by the Duke of Barcelona yet. I believe the Duke of Barcelona has received the news that the eagle lion knights, iron wall knights and fast Dragon Knights will immediately return to the eastern defense line. They have seven Highnesses, plus the royal highness of orokhia and Auguste. The strength of the eastern defense line is enough to deal with the Centaur Khan."
Victor said coldly, "it has spiritual touch and is not so easy to deal with. It can master the time difference, can''t it?"
Testier thought for a moment and said: "My opinion is that the war zone of Stonehenge fortress acts according to the original plan. For the shining knights, I have ordered Clark and another golden Paladin to return to the eastern defense line, and the rest continue to destroy the Centaur gang. Princess Roland Auguste should have no problem as long as she sticks to Duncan fortress, avoids the Centaur Khan and blocks his men. Even the Centaur Khan Lead a few ferocious men deep into the hinterland of the Empire, and they will die. We can deal with it later. "
You don''t know how brave Roland is. She has been thinking about this Centaur for a long time... Victor whispered silently and felt a headache. His eyes fell on Neo West with a weak sense of existence and asked, "Your Majesty, what have you done? What are you going to do?"
Neo West raised his head, met Victor''s dark golden eyes and said, "when the two princes of the blood wolf family died, I was still far away from them. When I chased them, I watched the Centaurs leave. Those centaurs were numerous and powerful. My UNICORN Knights experienced the war in the three eastern provinces. Now there are only more than 200 people, and I can''t afford to lose."
Emperor Rand''s way of speaking was still so direct that Victor was speechless.
He continued: "I can support the eastern defense line and deal with the Centaur Khan myself. But I don''t trust Roland and and I can''t trust you. If you go, I won''t go. If you don''t go, I''ll go... I don''t think you want me to go."
"Your luck is really bad, your majesty Neo West. You should seriously consider the advice I gave you."
Vic smiled, stood up from the stool, held the sword handle in his hand and said faintly, "I''m going to the eastern defense line now and kill the legendary centaur. In addition... ''earth mother pet'' doesn''t have a female?"
"Don''t touch it... I don''t want any more changes."
Victor left the camp with his entourage. Their figure gradually disappeared into the dark night. King Rex couldn''t help asking, "his highness Randall finally said, ''don''t move the female Centaur''... What does he mean?"
TESL was silent for a long time, sighed and said with a bitter smile, "I only know some... But you and I lack the most intuitive feeling."
When Neo West saw the Golden Knight, he looked at himself and opened his mouth. At last, he said mindlessly, "I don''t understand... I won''t talk. In short, don''t touch the female. It''s better to let her go." Finally, he added honestly, "anyway, I won''t touch the female."
This is despised by Neo West... The Golden Knights are speechless.
