Under the guidance of a few tribesmen from both sides, Dafei's Sky Boat set off towards the Sacred Mountain. Then, the two tribes took the supplies that Dafei had given them and went their separate ways.
Looking at their silhouettes, which were rumbling with hooves, Dafei's little abacus was crackling in his mind. There was no doubt that the population of the Centaur Prairie had exceeded the total population of the various Goblins and Lizardmen that he had encountered before. If he could recruit them into his sect, the results would be unimaginable to Dafei.
Then, he could make use of this opportunity to meet all the Centaur tribes in one go and establish a friendly relationship with them. Then, he could use all kinds of sugar-coated bullets, carrots, and sticks to coerce and entice them to develop more believers. Dafei had already envisioned a blueprint for his future. Compared to the great undertaking of developing more believers, small matters like teaching Orrin and the Shadow Witch archery became insignificant. If they could learn, then so be it. If they couldn't, then it didn't matter.
Then, Dafei looked at the few people who were leading the way. Without a doubt, these people should be intelligent NPCs like the chiliarch. The rest of the people could be ordinary monsters. From the battle data, the strength of these soldiers should be much stronger than the Orc's Level-2 Centaur Archers.
In other words, in the Orc Chieftain, the Centaur was just an ordinary Level-2 soldier with obvious advantages and disadvantages. However, within the Centaur race, there might be a system that could be divided into several ranks of Centaur soldiers. For example, the Lizardman Village Chief had mentioned that the Centaur that could throw spears was a Rank 7 soldier or something like that, which was equivalent to the Titans. Then, the Centaur Prairie was likely to be a powerful hidden force like Naga, and had great potential for development. Not to mention, there might be unique products in such a vast grassland.
At the thought of this, Dafei became even more excited. Perhaps the essence of the vast wilderness was concentrated in the Centaur race. After all, it was a race that was protected by a demigod. Just thinking about the Centaurs' frightening mobility and accurate archery skills made it difficult for humans to develop mounted archers, unless the shortcomings of the Centaurs couldn't be made up for.
The Centaur Army's weakness was also publicly acknowledged. That is, it is easy to kill each other mind control type magic. For example, the darkness-type Puppet Master and Madness spell. The Puppet Master was the key spell that Dafei used to control Braindead Ice Head when he defeated Hydra. In the end, this was decided by the Centaurs' violent nature. The more violent and cruel a race was, the easier it was to be controlled.
However, he would leave the technical work of developing new types of troops to the large Guilds. Dafei would not compete with the people. Dafei's target was only his believers.
Just as Dafei was engrossed in his thoughts, a white stone mound appeared in front of the grassland. Although it was neither tall nor large, it emitted a white jade-like radiance under the moonlight.
Then the person leading the way said, "Warriors. This was the Sacred Mountain of the grassland where Ke Rong resided. However, ordinary people would not be able to see Ke Rong. Only the tribal chiefs can see Ke Rong through a ceremony! "
As expected! This meant that if he wanted to see Ke Rong, he had to deal with the ordinary Centaurs. Previously, Xue Wei took it for granted that Ke Rong was just a Centaur wandering in the wilderness. What a ridiculous assumption. Ke Rong was a demigod after all. It was impossible for him to live in the mortal realm.
In short, it was a crucial time to deal with the tribes. Food alone was probably not enough. Dafei asked, "What else do you like besides food?"
The centaurs laughed wildly in unison, "Of course, wine, music, and beauties!"
Dafei was overjoyed! As expected of the Centaurs' taste. He liked whatever they liked, and he had them all! However, he would not give them to them. At most, he would ask his Banshee dancers to come out and dance a few times. As for the wine, although he distributed some along the way, there were still thousands of units in storage. It was still a huge mountain. He could just throw out a few thousand units of wine, and he would be able to deal with the entire grassland tribes. As for music, there was Sister Siren and Serbia, so there was no need to mention it!
Dafei asked curiously, "Then where did your wine come from?"
The centaurs could not laugh anymore, "Of course, it was made from our grassland oats."
"It was also because we used too much food to make wine that we could only eat grass."
At this point, the centaurs laughed wildly again, "As long as there is wine to drink, it doesn't matter if we eat grass!"
I see. Dafei did not know whether to laugh or cry! No wonder they had to fight for water and grass even though they occupied such a fertile grassland. Indeed, extravagance was the source of evil! Okay, let me be your savior!
Then, he would ask Seine to hurry up and send more food over. Food was the key. So Dafei sent another letter to ask Seine to continue working hard. This time. As for the food, don't just buy the expensive beef. Ordinary and cheap wheat and soybeans would do. For a grass-eating race, there was no need to be too particular about food, as long as they were full.
At the same time, Dafei installed the artifact "Space Transmission Oscillator", which increased the transmission efficiency by 200%, in the transmission array of the Genie space, so that Seine could transport 1,000 units at a time.
Then soon, the system prompted with a ding dong. After receiving the instruction, Seine shipped 1,000 units of wheat and a letter. In the letter, Seine said that he used his authority as a manager to requisition a granary in Holy Crown City, and there were still 10,000 units in storage.
10,000 units! Dafei was pleasantly surprised. He had not trained this manager in vain. He was simply a mainstay at the critical moment!
Now, Dafei did not have to worry about the supply. Dafei only worried about whether he could store it. The passenger cabin of the Fly had a total capacity of 22,000, and there was not much space left after it was occupied by the troops, wine, and diamond mines. Then it was the storage of the Dark Shadow Village's warehouse.
At present, the warehouse was upgraded to level 2, and there were 2,000 units in storage. There was no need to store all 10,000 units at a time. They only needed to store 5,000 to 6,000 units in the warehouse and the cabin. Then, as they were sent out, Seine would deliver the goods at the same time, achieving an uninterrupted supply. The reason for the uninterrupted supply was for no other reason than to show off in front of the centaurs and perform "miracles"!
That's right. Although showing off in front of the NPCs was showing off in front of the system, it would not work. But from the situation of the goblins and lizardmen tribes, their internal setting was obviously "allowing players to show off in front of them"!
It had to be said that this was an important part of the high playability of the game. It was fine if the NPCs in the city were noble and cold, but if players were not allowed to show off in front of the indigenous NPCs, what fun would there be?
Oh right, since there was food and wine. Then they wouldn't have to grab it with their hands, right? Dafei took some porcelain and asked the centaurs, "Do you like this?"
The centaurs were overjoyed, "We also like anything that shines!"
Oh yeah! There was finally a use for the diamond mine! Even if the legendary centaurs are greedy for plundering, I will use my "miracle" to quench your greed!
As Dafei seized the time to sell the goods, time passed unknowingly. Then, a red cloud rose from the east. The sun shone on the plains, and the sky was bright. Then, the sound of a horn was heard in the morning breeze. Around the plains, a large group of centaurs appeared in Dafei's vision. On Dafei's radar, there was a large red cloud and two small yellow clouds.
They were finally here! The two small yellow clouds were the two centaur tribes that he had subdued last night. Then, in the next moment. The sound of the galloping of thousands of centaurs was deafening, and they surrounded him from all directions.
Dafei was excited! They were giving him face. How could this number be limited to 100,000? Even if there were more troops, it would be enough if there were 10,000 intelligent centaur NPCs. Even if they were fake believers who had been subdued by Wine and Meat, it would be enough!
As they got closer, the red cloud on the radar shone with a dozen or so hero halos. Dafei's eyebrows twitched. There were heroes!
Dafei hurriedly asked the people below, "Who are these heroes?"
The centaurs said respectfully, "These are the chiefs of our 12 tribes! Only heroes can be chiefs! "Then, the centaurs pointed in the direction of the yellow cloud on the radar and cheered," Our chiefs are here! "
Good timing!
Now, Dafei immediately commanded the Evil Angels and Vine Demons on the ship to divide the diamond mines, wine, food, and porcelain into 12 portions. Each portion was 100 units, and they were piled around the Sky Ship. Then, Dafei personally landed on the ground to welcome the arrival of the 12 centaur heroes.
Now, the army that was charging in from all directions had slowed down, and they surrounded the Sky Ship like an iron bucket, a stone's throw away. Then, 12 majestic centaur heroes with hero halos stepped out of the crowd. These heroes stared at Dafei and the Sky Ship above Dafei with confusion, coldness, hostility, greed, or surprise.
Such an oppressive aura would definitely scare ordinary players. But for Dafei, it was complete support. Dafei had already prepared his lines. "I am the Dark Goddess, Spider Queen Lolth, and the high priest of the Sylanna's Ancient Tree Church. I want to visit the noble centaur demigod Guest to promote the exchange between the two civilizations. In order to express my sincerity, I will give you my most sincere greeting gift — "
But Dafei had not finished speaking. The red alarm in front of Dafei exploded, and a blood-red light rushed at him — boom!!! With an explosion, soil, wine, and diamonds flew everywhere!
Dafei was so shocked that his eyes narrowed. After a while, he came back to his senses and found a blood-red javelin inserted into the big pit in front of him. The big pit was originally filled with greeting gifts!
How domineering was this power? Although the Seraphim could also invest in Aerial Fire, it could not change the terrain. It could not create such a big pit in the mud! Dafei could not imagine what the consequences would be if this javelin pierced the balloon on the top of the ship! At this moment, cold sweat ran down Dafei's back.
A red-named centaur hero in black armor in the crowd said in a deep voice, "We centaurs can snatch what we want ourselves. There is no need for you to buy people's hearts here!"
Then another red-named Centaur Hero said coldly, "Since the Mythological Era, apart from the people of my Centaur race, only peerless heroes like Hercules, Ison, Achilles, and Orpheus can have an audience with Ke Rong. You are just a mortal, you are not qualified!"
Dafei's jaw dropped! It can't be, they are all famous demigod heroes from Greek mythology! It is said that the King of Hell is easy to meet, but the little demons are hard to deal with. Why are these heroic chieftains not as good as the ones below?? Kun Lang? Looking at the two yellow-named chieftains Kolk and Kollin for help
Dafei looked at the two chiefs with the yellow names, Colke and Kollin, for help. "Chiefs, I'm here for a friendly visit. I didn't hurt your people even though I had a conflict with them last night. This is enough to prove my sincerity. If other tribes do not believe me and are unwilling to cooperate with me, the three of us can still work together, right? "
Just as he finished his words, the two yellow-named chieftains' expressions changed. Then, the red-named heroes all shouted in unison, "No! Whoever dares to cooperate with an unknown person without permission is a traitor of our tribe. We will work together to get rid of him! "
What the heck! At this moment, Dafei regretted calling all the centaurs over. He might as well let the two tribes fight to their heart's content last night. He should have just done it quietly.
At this moment, the yellow-named chieftain finally spoke, "Warrior, if you can do something that all 12 centaur tribes approve of, then we will recognize you as a hero. Not only will we work together to let you meet Ke Rong, but we will also ask him to grant you a wish! "
Dafei's eyebrows jumped. So, this was a pain in the ass quest?
Then, the red-named black-armoured centaur sneered, "If you can't do it, leave half of your assets and get ready to leave. We will spare your life! "
The System clattered:
— System Notification: Warning! Korsha Chieftain Hero Korsha requests your surrender! The price of surrendering is half of your current cargo!
Dafei was shocked. This was the third time an NPC had tried to persuade him to surrender, after Nightmare from the Hell of God's Punishment and Old Dragon Saesu from the Dragon's Tomb. But this time, it was for real!
Damn it! Do you think I won't show you the Sky Boat? No, endure! If he ran away or started a war, then he might forever be enemies with the centaur tribes, and there would be no way to negotiate.
Dafei asked, "Then, Collin and Colke, please tell me what you need me to do."
The yellow-named chieftain said in a deep voice, "The centaur tribe's greatest wish is to form an official country, but we have never been able to obtain a Country Order. As long as Warrior helps us obtain a Country Order, it will be fine. "
Damn it! What is a Country Order!
The other yellow-named chieftain said, "That's right, a Country Order! In the east of this desolate land, there is an existence known as the Overlord of the Land, Beaumont. Kill it and you will obtain a Country Order. Beaumont is an existence on the same level as the Hydra and Cerberus. Only a hero like Hercules can defeat them. If you can do it, you will be a hero! "
— System Notification: You have received the Centaur Mythical Race Faction Mission "Kill the Overlord of the Land, Beaumont"!
— Mission Notification: There is no time limit for this mission. Once Beaumont is killed, you will obtain a Country Order and the Centaur tribe's Worship reputation. Beaumont is wandering in the east of the vast continent. Warning: Beaumont is a mythical creature and is extremely powerful!
Pfft! Dafei spat out a mouthful of blood! The Overlord of the Land, Beaumont, is on the same level as the Overlord of the Sea, Leviathan! Dafei completely lost the courage to challenge Leviathan when she first appeared in the City of Light. Even if the Sky Boat was so powerful, Dafei did not dare to take the risk.
However, since there is no time limit for this mission, I will accept it!
Dafei gritted his teeth and accepted the mission, "I will find a way to prove myself!"
The two yellow-named chieftains nodded, "Very good!"
The red-named Ke 'er shouted, "There are too many people who think they're so good at this mission. But none of them have returned. So don't think that just because you accepted the mission to prove yourself, you can escape from us. Did you hear what I said just now? Leave half of the things and you can leave! "
F * ck! These damn bandits, they won't let me go even after I accepted the mission?
The yellow-named chieftain said in a deep voice, "That's right! If Warriors are really sincere, then leave this greeting gift. Otherwise, you will become the Centaur tribe's enemy! For so many years. You are the first mortal who has gathered with so many chieftains and talked for so long without fighting. You are also the mortal who has the most hope of establishing a friendly relationship with us. You must grasp this opportunity. "
Tsk! I have a high reputation in the world and I am strong. I can kill you all with a single thought. You should grasp this opportunity to live. Don't make me angry!
Another yellow-named chieftain said, "However, if Warriors successfully complete the mission, then the things left behind by Warriors will be further proof of our friendship. It is equivalent to a deposit. Do you know what a deposit is?"
Dafei spat out a mouthful of saliva! I am a city dweller. Do I need a country bumpkin like you to teach me what a deposit is? It seemed that he really couldn't fight or escape! Is this the price of associating with a Red Name force? Dafei gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! I will leave the things behind! "
— — System prompt: You have accepted the Centaur tribe's offer to surrender. The price is 7416 units of wine, 1651 units of barley, 1141 units of diamond, 145 units of porcelain, 123 units of honey, 113 units of clothing … please complete the payment within one day!
What the hell! The other items did not matter, but this 7000 units of wine! I want to use it to reach the Wine God domain!
At that moment, Dafei's heart broke! Did I go too far? I probably went too far! For the sake of success, endure! Dafei was filled with grief and indignation. He waved his hand and the Evil Angels began to unload the goods.
When the goods piled up like a mountain, the surrounding centaurs were in an uproar! In an instant, the crowd was in an uproar, pushing and shoving.
Damn it, are they still a bunch of country bumpkins after all? You can fight, but don't hurt my precious Evil Demons!
Dafei could not help but rush into the Psalm Hall and yell, "Don't push, don't make noise, don't fight, don't fight! Line up one by one! Otherwise, I will run for my life! "
Needless to say, with such a roar, the centaurs really stabilized their footing! Dafei could not help but be amused. They were actually obedient? This meant that they were worth fighting for. Thinking of this, Dafei's anger was much smoother.
At this time, Orrin came to Dafei's side and said anxiously, "Sir Castellan, do we have to wait until we get their Nation Building Token before we can learn their archery?"
Dafei frowned. That's true! This Beaumont might not dare to make a move before he became a god. Who knew how long it would take? He could not delay Orrin's business because of such a big matter.
Dafei thought for a while and decided to bring Orrin to give it a try. Hence, Dafei brought Orrin to the yellow-named chief. "Chief Kolk, I would like to bring this person to your tribe to learn archery. Can you teach him?"
That's right. Since he could not meet his demigod master, he could ask his senior brother to teach him. They were both yellow-named, how could they not give him some face?
What surprised Dafei was that Kolk agreed immediately. "It's not a problem to teach him archery. This is how our tribe treats their guests. However, the premise is that we treat you as a guest. It's none of my business how other tribes treat you, but my tribe treats you as a guest. I will teach you personally! However, whether he can learn it or not will depend on his ability! "
Orrin was overjoyed. "Thank you for your guidance, chief!"
Damn! That's it? So simple? At this moment, Dafei suddenly realized that he had complicated the problem from the beginning. To learn archery, he could just look for the people in the wilderness. He did not have to look for the demigod, Ke Rong, right? Wasn't this deliberately making things difficult for him?
Dafei let out a long sigh. "Thank you. I also have a troop that I would like to ask you to see if you can teach them?"
