Chapter 699

The blue sea is boundless.

Under the vast sky, only the vigorous Eagle left its track on the dome.

As Byrne's army moved eastward, the world became more and more empty; In front of you, you can see the boundless grassland. There is a long wind whistling by your ears, and you can't see any difference any more.

If not for the boa Hussars who are familiar with this place as guides in the front, I'm afraid this army can't find the right direction of Qianzhang city in a year.

In order to save the thousand tent city besieged by the Centaur army, but also to avoid the serious consequences of splitting the whole Boyi into the East and the west, and finally being completely flattened by the Centaur and invading Bain and even the hinterland of the Empire; Byrne's 15000 cavalry had to head north and set foot on the road to Qianzhang city.

Under the face-to-face confrontation with master Harlem van achamay, count Seth braha finally dared not hide any more, and completely confessed the detailed process of the whole incident.

After finally finding out the reason, the knight lords who had some sympathy for Boye were in an uproar; If Eckert hadn't stopped him in time, several earls injured in the raid the night before yesterday were ready to draw their swords and chop him alive.

Although they were extremely angry at Archduke Varna's irresponsible behavior, the whole army agreed to rush to Qianzhang city to clear the siege, and then try to rescue Archduke Laszlo Varna.

More importantly, once Boye falls, Byrne and East Saxony, which will be invaded next - whether they are invaded at home or taken advantage of by the Empire to intervene in Oriental affairs, will be an extremely serious blow to Byrne.

In the words of count angert, that is: "although this old man is an asshole, he is also our asshole; before we beat his old face and spit on him, we have to find a way to get him back!"

For count braha, he hoped that Byrne's army would first rescue the fallen Archduke Varna; However, in the current situation, he also knew that he didn't have much say, so he had to keep silent.

After crossing a great plain and walking some distance eastward, the bain army finally came to the junction of the two territories of little Boyi and big Boyi.

Next, you only need to go up along Hebei to find the way to Qianzhang city.

Although it seems that the whole army's journey is very urgent, Qianzhang city is in danger; But in fact, even the boa Hussars did not have any tension on their faces, and they were even more relaxed than when they came here.

The reason is very simple - although tens of thousands of centaurs besieged Qianzhang City, Qianzhang city is the only strong fortress with stone walls in the whole green sea.

Although the Centaur got a few catapults and crossbows, it was not easy to deal with the thick green bricks and the special mountain rocks of saklan; And as we all know, the Centaur's four legs can't climb the wall.

Even if one or two towers are destroyed, it doesn't mean much to these "natural cavalry"; Even if the city gate is broken, the narrow passages and various traps in the fortress are not "friendly" to the cavalry.

Therefore, the rescue of such a fortified and abundant brick and stone fortress; Byrne's army can even rest and move forward; At the same time, find a way to contact the army of Jonah family and prepare to attack the Centaur army around the fortress.

"... so you know a lot about the Centaur race?"

Riding on the horse, Loren asked as if he mentioned it casually, and his eyes turned to master asamai on his side.

"Centaurs... Yes, since the publication of Bachelor DURMA's biography, the imperialists have begun to call them that."

Ashamei sighed, shook his head in the tone of "I knew you would ask so" and sighed:

"In fact, this title was originally a strongly insulting contempt; the Centaur's history is not much shorter than ours, and some even speculate that the birth of this race may still be before mankind."

"They usually call themselves' four hoofed people '... Incidentally, they are generally called' two legged people 'for humans, and there are' hairless people 'or' Pink people '- like humans, there are very few centaurs who have a really clear understanding of us."

"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!!!!!"
