Chapter 110: Three Hundred Horse Thieves Versus Five Legged Demon Centaurs

Chapter 109 – Three Hundred Horse Thieves Versus Five Legged Demon Centaurs
The skinny and bony livestock were mercilessly slaughtered as they were about to survive this long winter, the valuable skins were propped up and quickly covered with a layer of frost, while the not-so-much meat was cut off while it was still hot, baked and made into jerky as the next dry food.

The entrails were not wasted, and were thrown together into a pot to simmer, and though the flavor was horrible, a hot bowl of haggis soup still provided a strong sense of satisfaction during the cold season.

The horse thieves who were ready to leave put the dried meat close to their bodies, and then dug out the animal oil from the bowl, and thickly smeared it on their hands and faces, mixing the original dust and dirt, as if covered with a layer of oily mud.

Don’t underestimate this layer of oily mud, if you don’t have this layer of protection, the cold wind blowing while riding a horse will cut your skin like a knife and make you suffer.

Getting ready and mounting the well-fed horses, under the leadership of Buddy’s three men, a group of 300 horse thieves consisting of all adult men from seven or eight nomadic tribes attacked Hydra’s territory.

Compared to these horse thieves, the conditions of the territorial cavalry were much better, especially the scout cavalry that went out on daily patrols, they didn’t need to wear armor because they were scouts, and they only needed to run back alive to be victorious, so they wore soft, warm, double-layered leather coats.

On top of that, three meals a day of guaranteed quality and quantity, and also carry high calorie food with them, these can make them in the best condition to deal with the task of patrolling, so the three hundred horse thieves didn’t hide from these excellent scouts roaming outside the territory.

“Halt, feed the horses before resting, the early hours of this night will be the day we seize our wealth and enjoy our lives!” Buddy, who was also covered in grease and mud, turned around and shouted to the horse thieves who looked very tired.

Driving for two days in a row in the freezing cold was nothing short of torture, even though these horse thieves were all from nomadic tribes, they still had the feeling that they couldn’t carry on.

Good hope is in front of us, these horse thieves cheer up, first unlock the grass bag, will mix beans and coarse salt grass fed to the horses, and then hastily gnawed a jerky, wrapped around the sheepskin and fell asleep, not long after snoring four times.

Buddy also want to rest, but looking at the horse thieves sleeping on the ground, helpless can only take turns with Scarface and Harvey to watch the night, this leader when, really miserable.

At this time, Owen is making a new puppet in the secret room of the dungeon, after receiving the news that Maya informed through the two-sided mirror, he was stunned, and then pinched the Flyway powder and walked towards the fireplace, and in the twinkling of an eye, he came to the center of the town.

Maya and Howard were both there, waiting for his arrival.

“The horse thieves occupying Mara Town came to attack and stayed more than ten miles away from the territory, if not wrong, the other party will come for a night attack in the early hours of the morning.” Howard who is familiar with the territory’s military strength does not have the meaning of nervousness, regardless of the frontal battle or sneak attack, with the territory’s number of soldiers and the degree of elite, the victory is only a matter of time, he is now thinking more about how to use this to show their own ability.

“Interesting, coming without the start of spring, this is intended to be a surprise sneak attack.” Owen stroked his chin, not expecting the other party to have a few brains.

But fortunately, the other party was cautious enough to stay a dozen miles away to repair, but also intends to sneak attack at night, giving him plenty of time to prepare, otherwise, even if the scouts and cavalry return in time, they will not be able to fight for the territory for much time, at the moment, instead, they can set up from the comfort of their own.

But after thinking about it, Owen decided to let Howard take full command of the battle.

In reality Owen was afraid of losing face, because this time he was not facing dozens of bandits, but three hundred horse thieves, it was not something that could be solved by a wave of flat pushes.

Familiarize yourself with the 36 stratagems does not mean that you can lead the army to fight, because the specific how to implement the whole will not, these do not follow from the army a few years at all polished out.

But the problem is not big, coal bosses do not need to be able to dig coal wells, arms dealers do not need to be all Rambo, he will not matter, under the people will be on the line.

Howard nodded cautiously, in the face of this enemy, he has ten layers of certainty of victory, but how to try to show their own ability in this battle, on the contrary, it is a thing that needs to be carefully considered.

“Try to capture as many survivors as possible.” As Howard was about to turn around and leave, Owen thought about it and said to Howard. “As you wish my lord.” Howard clenched his fist on one hand and knocked it on his breastplate, then took his son and started to mobilize the territory’s troops.

Panic was non-existent for the soldiers of the territory, even if they were suddenly woken up in their sleep, they remained silent as they put on their armor and picked up their weapons, lining up and preparing to leave.

“I really don’t know who trained these soldiers.” Howard said with emotion.

He was also good at practicing soldiers, but he thought to himself that he couldn’t train such a soldier because it was completely against the individual’s sense of being made into a member who completely obeyed orders and was integrated into the whole.

Such a soldier alone was nothing, but in large numbers, they were often able to create miracles.

While Howard was lamenting, the soldiers had already finished assembling, so he ordered his son to lead the infantry to defend the city while he marched out with all the cavalry.

Scout cavalry Howard only took ten people, the rest all scattered, in case of being copied the nest, although the chance is very small, but have to prevent.

But what Howard didn’t know was that just as he left, Owen followed behind with Char, for he was very curious as to how the battle would be fought.

Of course, although following behind, Owen did not have the intention to get close, because he came out just want to feel the atmosphere, just like going to the scene to listen to the concert a meaning.

But no matter he or Howard who was ready to have a big fight, he didn’t expect to see such an exciting scene as soon as he came.

Three hundred horse thieves battle five legged demon centaurs wonderful scene!
Demon centaurs are more than three meters high, the body of the horse is like an elephant, four hooves are as thick as a barrel, the sound of the ground is like a muffled thunder, the upper half of the body is also hideous muscles, two bladder arms are thicker than the average person’s waist, by which is the two pectoral muscles, pompous as volcanoes like a general high bulge, revealing that the formidable power.

At this time, the demon centaur spread four hooves, like the gas pedal to the end of the tank generally running wildly, the hands of the two simple wolf tooth stick like a drum hammer, really die when hit, rubbed on the injury, hit by a positive even personal appearance is not, a bloody mess, despite the number of horse thieves to take advantage of the still be chased by her as if she drove a duck to run.

Buddy face green, just now he and the scar face Harvey three people joined hands also did not spell each other, but also almost sent a person’s head.

“This damn monster!” The saber in Buddy’s hand was bent out of shape, and the hand holding the saber was shaking nonstop, obviously having suffered a great loss.

Scar face is even worse, he fights without life, strength is not as good as his was eaten to death, but the face of stronger than him, do not want to life will become a life, at this time under the ribs recessed a piece, is lying on the ground to spit blood foam.

“This monster has become stronger than before!” Harvey said with some shivering, smart people on this benefit, meet the danger not forward, so in addition to the shock, hair did not fall one.

“Prepare to retreat.” Buddy couldn’t be bothered to find trouble with Harvey, as his heart was dripping blood.

This time not only the purpose of the army did not reach, but also suffered heavy losses, when he went back, I’m afraid he had to leave, otherwise those horse thieves did not know what they would do.

The problem is that they want to go still have to ask Howard who is bent on getting credit, he doesn’t care where that strange five legged centaur came from, he only wants to get credit now.
