Chapter 691 (2/2)
No, no;
Not as if
With his eyes narrowed, Loren looked into the distance. The black pupil strengthened by ”beyond perception” passed through the night under the stars, allowing him to clearly see the figures that rolled up smoke and dust and stepped on thunder in the night.
They have indeed completely surrounded the whole camp!
As for why he didn't attack immediately... Lauren looked down at the base under his feet and shook his head.
At least this is definitely not one of the reasons; Tens of thousands of centaurs, even if they rush hard in the front, can pass through the simple ditch in an instant and break down the car base.
They don't attack. Maybe they are waiting for orders, just like wolves hunting. Maybe there are other reasons and purposes
”Duke!”
The heavy footsteps and the sound of a bell interrupted Loren's meditation. The dignified count of Eckert came forward with Seth braha who was still in shock:
”I just talked to count braha. He knows where the Centaur comes from; as long as we can find the weak points of their front, we can...”
”You want me to run away?” Lauren raised his eyebrows and interrupted him directly.
”... it's breakthrough and strategic transfer.”
Count Eckert paused and said in a deep, expressionless voice: ”with 10000 square legions and camps as bait, and then let the Rangers on both wings attract the enemy's attention, you can break through smoothly - you can reach qiaowang peak fortress before dawn.”
Loren did not say a word and still stared at Eckert. The two fell into some silent confrontation.
”It's really no shame,” sighed count Eckert, who was no longer serious:
”I know this is your first battle. You want to play brilliantly and beautifully, but... Bain can afford the loss of 10000 people, and the loss of a Duke... We can't afford it!”
”Of course, you are the Duke of Byrne; whether to fight or escape temporarily is up to you - but please remember, Byrne... Really can't afford to fall apart again!”
Loren still didn't speak. His eyes turned to the outside, the grassland rolling with ”waves” under the starry sky.
He suddenly remembered the battle during the day, the formation of those centaurs that changed flexibly under the charge of Byrne Knights... That posture is because of their natural tacit understanding? Or
”Count Seth braha, I want to ask you a question,” Loren said abruptly.
”Huh?”
”If the leaders of the Centaurs are killed, will they panic like our army?” Loren asked softly, ”even... Scattered in situ?”
”Er... This is different.” Seth shook his head and nodded again. ”But you're right. If the leaders are killed, they will indeed panic and even retreat in groups.”
”Very good. Let me ask you a second question - can you recognize the leader of this Centaur army if I try to light it up in the current sky?”
”I...” Seth was surprised and stared at Lauren: ”what do you want?”
”Don't you already know your expression?” the black haired wizard glanced at him coldly and turned his sharp eyes to Eckert:
”The night vision is very poor. If the enemy's leader wants to command the siege, he will be very close, and may even be in the forefront of the army... Order the knights to be ready for a surprise attack to kill their leader!”
The count of anger Castle couldn't help but be a little stunned, but he nodded and turned away silently.
”Wait... You, Duke Byrne, you... Are you crazy?!”
Seth Bukhara was completely incoherent and looked at Lauren like a Madman: ”it's night. There are tens of thousands of centaurs outside!”
”No, you're wrong - for me, these have nothing to do with the number or strength comparison, it's just a simple multiple-choice question.” Loren turned his head and looked at him coldly:
”I don't want to run away. I want to play well, so I can only move forward
You can't go back! ”
