Compared to Wales and the others, Gasol wasn't as happy right now. He knew very well that even though he had become the chieftain of the Herculean Bull Tribe, the people in the tribe weren't willing to accept him. First, there was the defection of Mendez and the others. Why did Mendez and the others run away? Why did his father suddenly pass away? The people in the tribe were already complaining. If he couldn't settle this matter as soon as possible, then his situation would be very difficult.
In order to get rid of this hidden danger as soon as possible, Gasol asked the Fighting Bull Tribe for help. He asked them to send out troops and cooperate with his guards to hunt down Mendez. He wanted to find traces of Wales from Mendez's body, and then eliminate both of them.
But Gasol hadn't expected Zhao Hai's appearance, and he hadn't expected that he would encounter an undead army when it was dark.
Gasol didn't know when Wales had gotten in touch with human black mages. A black mage who could mobilize 4000 undead creatures was either a powerful black mage or a team of black mages. No matter which one it was, it was very dangerous.
Gasol was feeling a bit regretful right now. He felt that his pursuit had been untimely. If he could meet Wales during the day, then he would be able to attack without any scruples. But he couldn't do it now. It was already dark. Fighting against undead creatures in the dark was no different from courting death.
The most troublesome thing about undead creatures was that they were good at night battles, and that they weren't afraid of death. These undead creatures didn't have any thoughts at all. They didn't know what death was. They only knew how to attack, and had no concept of death. Such enemies were the most terrifying.
What gave Gasol the most headache was that the 2 aerial scouts he had raised had been attacked by other magic beasts and taken away. This was the most painful thing for Gasol.
Just as Wales and the others had said, a large part of Gasol's military exploits was due to the 2 aerial scouts he had raised. With these 2 aerial scouts, he could discover the enemy ahead of time and make arrangements in advance. This way, he would naturally have the upper hand in battle.
But today, in front of his eyes, his two aerial scouts were attacked by five flying magical beasts. He could only watch helplessly as the two Flame Birds that he had spent countless blood and sweat to raise were captured by those fiery red eagle-shaped magical beasts.
Gasol couldn't help but frown when he thought of this. He felt that nothing had been going smoothly for him recently. Other than becoming the chieftain, everything else was different from what he had expected.
Before he became the patriarch, he didn't have to deal with a lot of things. Most of them were related to the military. Everything else was handled by his father. But when he became the patriarch and began to deal with the affairs of the clan, he discovered that managing a clan wasn't easy.
It was almost winter. In winter, the sheep needed to eat grass, the people needed to eat grain, and the firewood for heating. Everything had to be properly equipped. All of these matters gave Gasol a huge headache.
The leaders of the chieftains had also begun to disobey his orders. Although the Fighting Bull Tribe was still cooperating with him, they were no longer as courteous as before. In addition, Wales and Mendez were still free and unfettered outside. This had always been his biggest worry.
Although there were a lot of things to deal with, Gasol had always thought that Wales was still the biggest threat to him. This was because Wales was still very popular in the clan. He was very respectful to the elders and leaders in the clan. Although he kept a low profile when doing things, he did everything well. The most important thing was that his father had passed down the God Bull Whip to Wales.
The God Bull Whip had been passed down from the chieftain to the successor for almost every generation. In other words, when his father had passed down the God Bull Whip to Wales, it meant that his father had already decided that Wales would be the successor in the eyes of the elders and leaders.
It was because of this reason that those people weren't very convinced when he had poisoned his father and said that his father had made him the chieftain.
In order to make those people give up as soon as possible and recognize him as the chieftain, he had to eliminate Wales and the others in the shortest amount of time. Only then would those elders and leaders have no choice but to recognize his position.
But because Wales and Mendez were both princes, he couldn't mobilize too much of the tribe's military strength to deal with them. He could only bring his own 500 personal guards and borrowed 1500 soldiers from the Fighting Bull tribe, a total of 2000 cavalry to chase after Wales.
The 1500 Fighting Bull Tribe soldiers weren't borrowed for nothing. Wales had borrowed them, but he had to give the Fighting Bull Tribe 10,000 argali and 1000 slaves.
This was what made Gasol angry. Before he had become the chieftain, the Fighting Bull Tribe had been very courteous to him. No matter what kind of help he needed, the Fighting Bull Tribe would agree without a second thought. But after he had become the chieftain, the Fighting Bull Tribe began to give him conditions, which made Gasol very unhappy.
But he had no other way, now that the Herculean Bull Tribe was unstable, although he was still suppressing the elders and leaders, he couldn't really do what he wanted to do. Like his father, when he gave an order, the entire tribe would move. He could only ask the Fighting Bull Tribe for help.
Now that he had just caught up to Wales, he found that Wales didn't run away as he had expected. Instead, Wales led a large army of undead creatures to confront him. And what made him most depressed was that because it was already dark, he had to retreat and couldn't attack Wales.
Looking at the person who could threaten him the most, but he couldn't make a move, Gasol felt as if there was something stuck in his chest. He was like a polar bear that had swallowed a lump of ice. He couldn't spit it out, and he couldn't swallow it either.
But now, Gasol didn't dare to relax at all. He was very clear that Wales wasn't an idiot. With so many undead creatures in his hands, it would be strange if Wales didn't use the night to attack him. Therefore, when Gasol had set up the camp, he had made preparations to guard against Wales's night attack.
He had set up many bonfires around the camp, and had sent out 500 sentries. The rest of the people had been ordered to sleep as soon as the camp was set up. They had to seize the time to rest in order to prepare for the battle that could come at any time.
But Gasol had still underestimated the fighting strength of Zhao Hai's undead creatures. Although Gasol had thought that Wales would definitely let those undead creatures attack him, he had thought that he could win against them. The undead creatures weren't very strong, and they had only taken advantage of the night.
But when Zhao Hai had ordered those undead creatures to attack Gasol's camp, Gasol had realized that something was wrong. The fighting strength of these undead creatures was too strong.
He was a level 8 expert, but he couldn't gain any advantage against those undead magic beasts. What did this mean? This meant that those undead creatures were at least level 6. How was this possible?
Gasol couldn't believe it, but the truth was right in front of his eyes. Zhao Hai had ordered those undead creatures to charge at his camp from 3 directions. The undead magic beast army attacked the camp from the front, the jackal cavalry from the left and right flanks, and the human mercenaries followed behind the magic beast army and attacked the camp. The offensive was like fire, and Gasol's camp was burned to ashes in an instant.
Although the Herculean Bulls and the Fighting Bulls were the strongest among the bull-headed races, they were famous for their strength and fighting prowess. But when they faced an opponent who was taller than them, bigger than them, stronger than them, and stronger than them, they couldn't help but find that all their advantages were not advantages at all.
They couldn't stop the undead magic beast army from the front, and they couldn't stop the jackal cavalry from the flanks either. In the beginning, Gasol hadn't discovered that these cavalry were jackals. Although he had given them money to kill Wales, he hadn't received any news in the end, so he knew that his mission had failed. But he hadn't thought that these jackal cavalry would turn into undead creatures.
But when these jackal cavalry began to charge, Gasol finally discovered that these short cavalry were actually jackal cavalry. Not only had they turned into undead creatures, but they had also become stronger.
Jackal cavalry were very famous on the prairie, not because they were strong, but because they were fast and patient. They could keep pestering their enemies until they collapsed. But everyone on the prairie knew that jackal cavalry didn't have the ability to charge. Their stature was too short, their strength was too weak, and their defensive capabilities were too low. All of these had made them light cavalry.
But this situation had changed in Zhao's hands. The Jackal cavalry, after being strengthened by the space, had become even more powerful. Their strength had increased, and their speed had also increased. They now had the ability to become a powerful cavalry unit.
Gasol, who had underestimated them, had only placed 600 men on the flanks, with each side having 300 men. But when the jackal cavalry rushed up, Gasol discovered that he had made a mistake, and a big mistake at that. The 600 fighting bull cavalry had been defeated by the jackal cavalry the moment they clashed with the jackal cavalry.
The jackal cavalry mainly used scimitars, while the fighting bull cavalry mainly used wolf-tooth clubs. Wolf-Tooth clubs were a type of heavy weapon that couldn't be used unless one had great strength. When a heavy cavalry charged with a wolf-tooth club, it was very frightening.
