Chapter 178

In the middle of the night, Ren heard dense hoofbeats in his ears.

Gradually, the ground also shook slightly, and the residents of the entire Bishui Street, as well as the silver knight in the castle, were awakened by the shaking.

Ren walked out of the study to the balcony, and saw a large group of tall figures of half-man and half-horse from a distance, running along the street, and soon arrived at the foot of the castle hill.

In this team of more than two hundred people, he saw Emily's figure.

"Open the door and let them in."

Ryan ordered loudly, jumped off the balcony, and walked to the gate of the castle to greet him.

As soon as the gate was opened, the centaurs rushed in. They were well-trained and divided into ten teams, each with fifteen centaurs, rushing up the grassland along the hillside like a tide, and finally stood in the open space in front of the castle gate. , neatly arranged, showing excellent discipline.

Ren watched this scene and couldn't help but think to himself, the mercenaries known for their free and undisciplined nature must not be able to do this.

This is a real army!

He observed these centaurs, there were a total of one hundred and fifty, no more, no less, the same number as what Emily said.

Their upper body is a strong human torso and head. Their long black hair is braided and thrown behind their heads. They wear simple leather armor, carry a long bow and quiver on their backs, and hang a strange large thick-bladed scimitar on their waists. Their arms are extremely long, holding iron spear;

The lower body is the body of a horse and four thick thighs. The two are perfectly combined. The adjective "man is tall and horse is big" is tailor-made for them.

Among them, male centaurs accounted for two-thirds, and were more than two meters tall, while females were slightly shorter.

Because of the long-distance running, they stood in the open space panting heavily, breathing out clouds of white mist in the cold night, their chests rose and fell, and the hind half of the horse was soaked in sweat.

In front of the entire castle gate, it suddenly became crowded, with spears everywhere, and the atmosphere was tense.

On the backs of some male centaurs were humans, including more than sixty elite iron guards, as well as senior managers of the Dragonstone mercenary group.

Among them, there is a centaur that is the most conspicuous.

He is nearly 2.3 meters tall, extremely strong, and weighs at least 1,200 pounds. He is more than two times larger than other centaurs. Muscle, with a huge horn hanging from his waist, surrounded by the surrounding centaurs at all times, at this time, he parted a way and walked in front of Ren.

Emily sat on his back, landed lightly, bowed and said: "Your Excellency, the members of the Dragonstone Mercenary Group in Modu are all here."

The legendary swordsman Astan, the demon warlock Ding Laji, and the high-ranking ranger Bigbell all jumped off the centaur's back and saluted Ren.

All the centaurs and human mercenaries shouted in unison: "I have seen the lord!"

The sound waves are neat and the momentum is amazing.

The faces of the secret fire guards and the silver knights standing behind Ren changed slightly. If these centaurs and mercenaries were enemies, then they had already fallen into the encirclement.

Ren smiled, and responded: "You are welcome to my castle."

"It's really a nice castle, hehe..."

A rough voice sounded, with a little disdain, it sounded particularly harsh.

Ren looked over and saw that the leader of the centaur was speaking, and the other party's eyes were full of provocation. The eyes of the soul saw that this centaur was somewhat hostile to him, and he didn't know why.

"Zuo Ao, shut up!" Emily reprimanded immediately.

The centaur Zhuoao crossed his arms, and although he didn't make a sound, he still looked rebellious and seemed very unconvinced.

Ren frowned, and immediately understood that Emilys should have subdued a centaur tribe through this centaur Drool. Because of her feelings, she can't be too strict with Zhuo Ao, which may arouse the resistance of other centaurs. Zhuo Ao also relies on this point, and is somewhat disobedient.

As a race of centaurs, most of them are cruel and violent by nature, burning, killing and looting. They respect the strong, enslave the weak, and believe in evil gods.

A small number of centaurs who believe in righteous gods, such as Zhuo Ao and his tribe in front of us, believe in Uriel, the god of hunting, are also unruly and domineering.

If you don't give these centaurs a "offensive power" and deter them, you don't know what troubles will happen in the castle in the future.

Ren judged it with the eyes of the soul. The strength of this Zhuo Ao is equivalent to that of a high-level human berserker. No wonder he can become the leader of a tribe.

Then use him as a knife to make an example to others.

Ren didn't want to do it himself, which would lower his identity.

"Gron."

The Macragge who had been standing behind him stepped forward and said, "Boss!"

Ren said lightly: "Help me entertain this Mr. Zhuoao well, let him know what etiquette is. In my castle, discordant voices are not allowed."

"Yes, the boss' will is my will."

Hearing Ryan's order, Gron became excited immediately. He had just received the symbiotic boost, and he had nowhere to vent his strength, and he was worried that he would not have the opportunity to practice.

The mercenary group was in an uproar, and the centaurs glared at Ren and shouted one after another.

Emily wanted to stop subconsciously, she opened her mouth, but didn't speak.

The short body of the demon warlock Dinglaji stood in front of Gron, and shouted loudly: "My lord, Zhuo Ao has no other intentions, please don't hurt your temper."

"Little dwarf, get out of here, I don't need you to speak nice words for me." Zhuo Ao licked his lips, a bit of cruelty flashed in his eyes, "I want to see, how will you treat me?"

As he spoke, he raised the spear in his hand and rushed forward with all four hooves.

The heavy iron hooves made footprints on the ground, completely ignoring Ding Laji who was still in the middle, as if they wanted to trample him to death along the way.

Ding Laji reluctantly shook his head and sighed, his figure turned into a puff of black smoke and flashed to Emily's side.

In front of Ren, Gron held a giant sword and charged.

boom!

The distance between the two was not far away, and they collided head-on in an instant. Gron ignored Zhuo Ao's spear and let it stick on his shoulder. The head hammer hit Zhuo Ao's face.

Zhuo Ao let out a scream, his face blossomed, he involuntarily let go of the spear, and then was slapped horizontally by the giant sword, and a big hand grabbed his front hoof like iron tongs, and there was a huge force, which immediately turned him on his back.

Knowing that he couldn't kill people, Gron threw away the huge sword, sat on the horse's back, and punched it down with punches.

He didn't talk about ways at all, and he didn't care about defense. He carried Zhuo Ao's various counterattacks and flying hooves, and punched the centaur hard on the ground.

bang bang bang...

Fist to the flesh, blood spatter.

Gelong's strength element is close to level five, with a fist weighing more than 10,000 pounds, plus the heavy blow element, even if Zhuo Ao's skin is thick and fleshy, after dozens of punches on his body, his screams gradually weakened and he vomited blood. Not only that, the four hooves were kicking needlessly, and finally passed out.

"Okay." Seeing that the fight would kill someone, Ren called to stop.

Only then did Gron let go and stood up, feeling a little unsatisfied, and pulled out the half of the spear that was still stuck in his shoulder. The spear only penetrated about an inch deep, and the bleeding stopped immediately, and he was healing rapidly.

"Swearing at people is ugly, but it's meaningless to hit people like this."

He spit out a mouthful, looked around, and said loudly: "Anyone who refuses to accept the boss's words, stand up!"

Although the centaurs were furious, they were frightened by such a brutal fighting method, and they were all terrified, and no one dared to speak provocatively.

Emily and the others all had expressions of disbelief.

They recognized Gron. A few hours ago, he was just a barbarian of medium strength. Suddenly, he seemed to be a completely different person, and his strength skyrocketed, not much different from Sicarius!

This kind of power and defense is simply outrageous.

Emily could not help but wonder, could it be that she was mistaken?

It wasn't until Gron picked up her giant sword and stood behind Ren that she came back to her senses and ordered: "Give Zhuo Ao some treatment, let him rest well, and don't move around for a few days."

Two centaur priests hurried over, cast spells, and healed their leader's injuries.

Ren's eyes swept over them. Every centaur tribe has priests. They can sense the power of nature, comprehend spells, and use them for healing and assisting tribesmen in battle. They also have the ability to cast spells and attack, most of which are related to wind elements or lightning elements. .

There are six priests in this group of centaurs, and their mana level is similar to that of second- and third-level spellcasters.

"My lord."

Emily came over and said, "We are responsible for the defense of the castle, please rest assured, my lord."

Ren nodded, "Then I will leave it to you. I have already prepared food and accommodation. There are enough vacant rooms in the castle, and you can all live in."

"Thank you, my lord."

Emily started to get busy, but she didn't let the centaur live in the castle.

Centaurs are natural nomads, not used to living in man-made buildings, they brought their own tents, and set up more than 20 large tents on the hillside and grass outside the castle in less than half an hour, each tent can live Seven or eight centaurs were scattered around the castle.

The fine iron guards of the mercenary regiment also took over the post of the silver knight and stood on the city wall to take turns on duty.

Ren didn't interfere, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

Through the voice of all things, he grasped the movement inside and outside the castle, and made sure that the centaurs were calmed down and calmed down.

Several senior executives of the mercenary group gathered in Emily's room to talk.

But the content of the discussion is mainly about the defense of the castle, and the surprise of Gron's changes.

Among these few people, the legendary swordsman Astan was silent most of the time, and the ranger Bigbell had no opinion. It was mainly Emily and the demon warlock Ding Laji who were discussing.

This short, deformed human seems to be the brains of the Dragonstone mercenaries.

Ren listened for a while, and found that the Dragonstone mercenary group had no dissent, so he withdrew his attention and opened the map of Glamorgan Territory in the study.

He looked at several important places on the map and thought: "When Sicarius returns, immediately start to recover the territory and drive out all the enemies!"
