Chapter 36 - The Centaur Clan’s Arrival (2/2)
Thinking of this, Joshua could not help but sit back down in his chair.
“The difference in fighting strength is too big. There’s no way to get the others to match up to Georgi!”
At this time, Georgi happened to pass by and heard Joshua’s words. He pushed the door open and walked in.
“Village Chief Josh, I have something to tell you about in regards to that.”
“Georgi, you came at the right time. I was just looking for you to measure my overall fighting strength!”
Georgi immediately waved his hand and said, “Please listen to me first. I already have an idea about how we can increase our army’s overall strength. This morning, the centaur clan’s chief came oum from the depths of the forest with his men!
“Along with the stag clan, their total number of troops has already reached an astonishing 1,000 people. They knew that there would be a war, so they specially took this opportunity to lend us a hand!
“Their combat strength is very impressive, but having them aboard will be bad for our grain reserves as they are big eaters like us!”
Hearing this, Joshua immediately sat up in surprise.
“Is that so! Our food resource problem has mostly been solved through fishing, so there’s no need to worry too much about having too many mouths to feed.”
After the two talked for a while, they had finalized their plans on how to get things done.
It just so happened that there were two plots of land in Puba Village that had just been laid and there were no houses built. Since they had just arrived, Alger could modify those pieces of land for them.
“Since they’re already here, let’s go see them!”
This time, Joshua did not rush over. Instead, he first returned to his own residence first and washed up before changing into a new set of clothes.
He looked at himself in the mirror and saw that he looked very energetic. After that, he headed to the place where the centaur clan’s chief was waiting.
He followed Georgi to the west of the village. From afar, Joshua saw the centaur clan.
The centaur chief was very strong. One look and people could tell that he was brave and good at fighting!
“Hello! I’m the village chief of Puba, Joshua Lancelot!”
As the centaur sized Joshua up, the centaur chief took out a precious knife from his waist and threw it to them.
“We’re both brave warriors. Brave warriors will use the best way they know how to talk, and that’s with their fists!”
Seeing that the other party was so enthusiastic, Joshua picked up the long knife that was stuck in the ground.
“This is a good weapon, but accidents are inevitable in a fight. So when the time comes, please forgive me for my rudeness!”
The two immediately clashed. Under Georgi’s command, the two began to fight.
The centaur moved very quickly. It quickly jumped over Josh’s head and swung its tail, slashing at him with the knife in his hands.
Josh did not dare to be careless. After all, the opponent was several times heavier than him, so Josh immediately grabbed the knife with both hands to meet the attack.
Steel collided and sparks flew.
The two long blades collided with each other, making a loud sound. However, the two of them did not move at all.
Just this contact made the centaur chief become even more serious.
Because Joshua’s own strength was great, the centaur’s valiant charge actually did not have any effect on him.
The knives kept clashing, but neither of them took a step back.
If this continued, Josh would definitely be at a disadvantage because of his lack of endurance, so he turned around and moved backward slightly.
Borrowing the huge weakness that was the centaur’s own body, he approached the centaur chief’s side and pressed his long knife against his heart.
When the battle was over, everyone around applauded.
