Chapter 699 (2/2)

”History?” Lauren raised his eyebrows. ”You mean...”

”Yes, centaurs are not a group of primitive and savage races as we think, or they are just like ogres and monsters, just like animals.”

Asamai nodded and explained to Loren with some interest: ”in fact, they have a quite perfect system, a very old and long-standing poetry culture, and a 'Shaman' sect mixed with primitive beliefs and magic.”

”System... What kind of system?” Lauren asked alertly, ”like the Empire, or eboden or Byrne, or the horseback people of big Boye?”

”They are not very similar - to put it bluntly, they are similar to the combination of the imperial conscription system and the nomadic customs of the Boyi people.” ashamed mused:

”The Centaur has a total of eight tribes, which you already know; they call each tribe 'flag', the leader is the 'flag leader', and the strongest of the eight flag leaders is elected as the 'Great Khan', or the big leader in saxophone.”

”The first Centaur had only four tribes: hankong, ChiYan, Baihe and yellow mane. Later, there were four branches: Changfeng, huohoof, Bailang and wasteland, forming today's' Flag Master 'system.”

”Under this system, the Centaurs of each tribe are not only the blood relatives of the flag owner, but also the slaves, laborers and soldiers of the flag owner; all honor, disgrace, power and wealth are tied to the flag owner.” ashamei's expression became dignified:

”War is the most effective state of this system. All centaurs are part of the army - even the imperial conscription system is not comparable to it. Therefore, although their number is small, they can always launch large-scale invasions again and again.”

”So fighting their army is fighting their whole tribe... Is that right?” Lauren frowned, a little unbelievable.

”Not only that, you have to fight with their supporters behind the scenes.” achamay said in an indescribable tone: ”throughout every Centaur war, it has never been really simple - as it was when the black Duke was, and now I can't see any difference this time.”

Loren's eyes narrowed into a slit and fell into meditation.

”So, who knows what it will be like in the end?” ashamei continued: ”even with heavy crossbows and stone throwers, even if another 'heavy cavalry Centaur' dressed in dwarf armor appears, it doesn't seem to be worth being proud of.”

”But then again, if even the 'heavy cavalry Centaur' appears, what's impossible - next, it's certain that even ancient evil gods, devil apostles, or sworn Knights will emerge... Well, it's very interesting to change from unilateral invasion to several scuffles...”

He was still talking to himself without a word, but he didn't see that Lauren's expression was getting more and more strange, and there was a kind of surprised look in his eyes.

Just as the dark haired wizard was about to interrupt him, there suddenly came the cry of Rangers in front, and the sharp sound of horns crossed the blue dome.

”The whole army is on alert --!”

Count Eckert's dull roar suddenly sounded, and his horse galloped past the front of the Army: ”the infantry array is lined up on the spot, and the cavalry come forward and get ready!”

At that moment, Loren looked at ashamei with a black expression. It was true that he was in the mood to kill him.

But... Shouldn't it?

Yes, yes... It's almost close to Qianzhang city. It's no surprise even if you meet the enemy;

It's not that the other party guessed right, it's just an expected situation - heavy cavalry, centaur or something, how can it be

Just when the dark haired wizard tried to comfort himself in the bottom of his heart, the front Rangers rushed again, and the nervous roar shook the sky:

”Heavy cavalry, heavy cavalry is coming this way!!!!!”
