In the North Town City, Su Lun had just guided a fountain out of the ground in a market with the help of the underground spring. The clear water rushed up five or six meters into the sky and turned into countless water droplets. Under the sunlight, the water droplets reflected colorful colors. It was very beautiful.
"I'll leave the maintenance of this fountain to you. Don't be careless. It's used to put out fires in the market nearby." Su Lun washed the mud on his hands with water, and then said to a manager of a market square next to him.
"Don't worry, my lord. We'll definitely protect this fountain." After hearing the function of the fountain, the market leaders became more serious. In this era, fire was very serious. It was related to their lives. These people would naturally pay more attention to it.
"My Lord, Lord Ayton is back." A guard hurriedly ran to report.
Ayton is back? Did something happen? Suhlen had a bad feeling. Ayton had been monitoring the movements of the large tribes around the territory. It had only been three days since the last report. Did something happen?
Since the last time the orcs sent a division to attack North Town City, Suhlen had increased the collection of information from the surrounding tribes. However, since the orcs retreated, the other tribes had been resting and didn't find any big movements. Now that Ayton suddenly came back, the situation had obviously changed.
"Let's go back." Suhlen turned around and rode back to the Lord's Castle.
Suhlen rode back to the Lord's Castle and went straight to the study. After waiting for a while, hurried footsteps sounded. Ayton's travel-worn figure appeared in front of Suhlen. He bowed slightly and said in a deep voice, "My Lord, the centaur tribe has lost. The orcs have won a decisive victory!"
"What did you say!?"
Crack! A crisp sound rang out. Suhlen was shocked when he heard the news. He didn't control the strength in his hand and directly pressed a hole in the table. The high-quality teak furniture was directly destroyed.
"How is this possible? Didn't you say that everything was normal three days ago? How could the Centaur Tribe be defeated in just three days? "Suhlen asked in disbelief.
"Even if it's a sneak attack, with the strength of the centaurs, they won't be able to last for three days!"
Suhlen knew how strong the Centaur Tribe was. Although they didn't have as many people as the Orc Tribe, they still had around 8,000 people. Moreover, the Centaur Tribe could be said to be all soldiers. A tribe of 8,000 people could bring out 6,000 soldiers.
In addition, the Centaurs were good at running and had sharp arrows. Even if the Beastmen had twice the numbers of the Centaurs, they wouldn't have the slightest advantage. Moreover, two months ago, the Centaurs had just defeated the Beastmen. The Beastmen had suffered heavy casualties. How could the Centaurs be defeated in the blink of an eye?
Although he knew the consequences of the Centaur Tribe's defeat, this defeat was too sudden. On the battlefield, as cavalry, even if the Centaurs lost, the Beastmen wouldn't be able to catch up with them. How could this happen?
In three days, no, it should be two days, the Beastmen had defeated the Centaur Tribe. According to this momentum, the Beastmen's next target was likely to be the Northern Battlefront City. As the only city in this wasteland that could threaten them, Suhlen didn't think that the Beastmen would be friendly with them.
"Do you know why?" Suhlen quickly calmed down. The Centaurs had been defeated. It was too late to say anything now. The most important thing was to find out how the Beastmen won and then take corresponding precautions.
"My apologies, sir. The battle happened at night. We didn't see it. The Centaurs were already defeated the next day." Ayton said awkwardly.
"Continue to monitor the Beastmen's movements. Then send someone to contact the Centaurs and ask them what happened that night." Suhlen said with his eyes closed.
"Yes, sir!" Ayton didn't even have time to eat before he hurriedly rode out of the Northern Battlefront City to continue monitoring the Beastmen Tribe.
Two days later, more Centaurs were defeated. Suhlen had a direct understanding of their losses.
Many of the Centaur Tribe's males had died in battle. The Centaur Tribe had lost a large number of people and had no choice but to gather the scattered tribes to form a new defensive force. After being exterminated by the Beastmen, the Centaur Tribe gathered the remaining tribes and began to move south!
Year 1687 of the Radiant Moon Calendar, early April.
Just as the Northern Battlefront City was making preparations for war, the first batch of Centaurs to move south arrived on the other side of the White Water River. Across the White Water River, about a hundred kilometers away from the Northern Battlefront City, was the Centaur Tribe's nomadic territory. After the migration, the Centaurs began to chase away the goblins and other creatures nearby.
After the Leaping Horse Plains were taken over by the Beastmen, the Centaur Tribe had no choice but to move southwest. The Northern Battlefront City living on the other side of the White Water River also felt an external pressure.
The Centaurs' westward migration had a chain effect! The balance between the two factions was broken in an instant.
Firstly, the humans living in the Northern Battlefront City were nervous. Secondly, the other tribes living nearby were also on alert. Large numbers of goblins, kobolds, and gnolls were chased away, causing the wastelands to become even more chaotic. Even the number of monsters near the Northern Battlefront City had greatly increased.
Suhlen only sent people to monitor the Centaur Tribe. He didn't show any hostility. Perhaps when the Beastmen army arrived, he would need their help.
In fact, the Centaur Tribe wasn't easy to deal with. Suhlen had relied on Owen's merchant group to make a deal with the Centaurs. Under most circumstances, the Centaurs preferred to rob. These Centaurs were proficient in bows and arrows and were famous for their speed in the northern wastelands.
No matter who it was, they would rob them. The Centaur Tribe's civilization wasn't very developed. Their forging skills were very limited, and the weapons and equipment they made were not as good as the humans'. After the war with the Beastmen, the Centaurs finally thought of trading with other tribes in exchange for military resources.
However, at this time, no other tribe believed them. This directly caused them to lack all kinds of resources. In the end, Owen's merchant group took a risk and successfully made a deal with the Centaur Tribe. With the resources provided by the humans, the Centaurs were in a stalemate with the Beastmen. They even had the upper hand.
A few years later, the Beastmen merged with another tribe and their population increased greatly. Only then did they suppress the Centaur Tribe.
With such a powerful enemy, the Centaurs could no longer plunder other races without any scruples. They were afraid that they would attract more enemies. After the defeat of the Leaping Horse Grass, not only did the Centaur Tribe's population decrease, but their resources also became scarce. Recently, they didn't even have enough food to eat. After settling down the tribe, the Centaurs once again sent a messenger to the Northern Town.
The messenger sent by the Samar Centaur Tribe was the little mare Mishion. On the other side, Ayton discovered that the Beastmen army had become restless after a short period of rest.
They began to train the recruited soldiers on a large scale. They let them familiarize themselves with the weapons, the commands of the army, and how to cooperate with others. At the same time, they began to prepare food. Obviously, they had begun to prepare for the upcoming war.
When the Centaurs' envoys arrived at the Northern Town, many of them were injured. This made Suhlen feel a little strange. Even if the Centaurs had declined, ordinary tribes wouldn't dare to make a move against them. Now, these people obviously came here after a battle.
As for who would intercept the Centaurs' envoys, there was no need to think about it. It must be the Beastmen. The Wolf Riders of the Beastmen's vanguard army had already arrived near the Northern Town. These Beastmen tribes from the northeast would directly threaten the safety of the Northern Town.
.....
When he saw Mishion again, she looked a little haggard. It seemed that the big defeat had a big impact on her. However, she also had a more capable aura. Obviously, she had grown a lot during this time.
"Good day, respected Sir Suhlen." After meeting, the beautiful little mare Mishion gave Suhlen a warm hug.
"Good day, Mishion, I deeply regret your experience." Feeling the amazing elasticity, Suhlen said with a smile.
"Sir Suhlen, we haven't seen each other for only a few months, and your territory has changed so much." Mishion looked at the high walls of the Northern Town and said.
"When we first came here, it was still a remote town. The population was less than 2000. Now it is a city with nearly 10,000 people."
"I heard that you had a big battle with the Beastmen army a while ago. And you won? "
"It was just a fluke." Suhlen waved his hand and said.
This time, it was an official war between the Northern Town and the Centaur Tribe. It was not just about trade.
So this time, other than calculating, what else could they do? A few other leaders of the Northern Town also came. Among them were the High Priest and General Leo Daly.
Miluan was wearing a pure white robe with a beautiful leaf pattern on it. This was clearly not something that could be made with the Centaur's craftsmanship.
When Suhlen's eyes fell on the beautiful little mare's chest, he was stunned. This lass's chest was towering. She really had a lot of assets. With a sigh, Suhlen welcomed the Centaur delegation into the Lord's Castle.
Most of the residents of the Northern Town had never seen a Centaur before. It was the first time they saw this mythical creature.
This time, the Centaur delegation was much bigger than the first time. There were more than 60 strong Centaur Warriors. This gave Suhlen a slight headache when arranging them.
