Chapter 5: Minotaur is also a bull!

Three days later, Rand brought two-thirds of the men to the minotaur's lair.

These creatures usually live in the dark underground, but groups of minotaurs can occasionally be found on the surface.

The believer who was exploring the surrounding environment was injured by a minotaur in this direction and is now lying in bed unable to get down.

Now that the army's morale is set and we have enough weapons and armor, it's time to attack!

Although in reality they were just a group of new recruits who had trained for three days.

But with the cultists' unique morale bonus, they are not a very weak type of soldier.

They are not very afraid of death and have absolute trust in the orders of God's messenger.

To put it in another way, religious regime, morale +3.

The Tauren's lair is not far from the hideout, and this is a wilderness.

It is a wilderness of gravel and rocks. Originally, there should have been trees here, but with the arrival of the Tauren tribe, the trees were trampled down and a cave was dug out of the mountain.

In the relatively flat area in front of the cave entrance, there stands a totem pole, indicating the Tauren tribe's control over the surrounding area.

The Paladin was naturally present as well. He might have known about this before, so he took a quick glance and came to the conclusion: "Judging from the number of hoof prints, there should be a group of about ten."

Rand nodded, indicating that he understood, although the paladin might not be able to see him nodding at this moment.

With the arrival of Rand and others, the Tauren tribe naturally noticed it.

The leader of this group of minotaurs is a rare female, although this is not at all evident from her majestic appearance.

Because she is a rare wise man among the Tauren! Originally, they were one of the ordinary Tauren tribes living in the Dark Area, until a sudden tribal civil war turned the area where they lived upside down.

Their tribe, which originally had hundreds of people, has now been reduced to just a dozen.

Faced with the tribe's drastically reduced strength, she, as the leader, immediately decided to leave the Underdark through a temporary portal that she had discovered by chance and head to the surface.

They rested and recuperated here for a while until nearby human villages began to expand to their area.

The moment of life and death has arrived.

In fact, if Rand had not acted quickly enough, they would have already decided to attack the village. If their tracks were discovered by the human kingdom, the knights would immediately come to wipe them out.

With their current strength, there is absolutely no chance of survival.

But facing those fragile humans who numbered less than fifty, it was really simple and easy.

Although there were only eleven of them, every minotaur was a warrior! These humans without armor or proper weapons would definitely not be their opponents.

Although these Tauren warriors had no armor or proper weapons.

At a relatively high place outside the cave entrance.

Rand opened his arms and felt the breeze blowing gently on his face.

As for why he had a wide field of vision, it was naturally because Rand was standing on Taner's shoulders at this time. This is called more people means a wider field of vision! It's different when you have a good physique. Although he has never practiced acrobatics, Rand didn't feel unstable standing on someone's shoulders.

Taner was a little nervous. There were eleven minotaurs here. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, ready to draw it at any time.

If he were to face this group of minotaurs alone, eleven would be a very extreme number.

If an adult minotaur appears alone in the wild, it will require a team of three veterans who have been active as combat adventurers for at least two years to ensure safety.

Instead, eleven of them appeared at the same time, which was already a very threatening combat force. Even if an ordinary knight leader gathered all his combat forces, he would not be able to stop such an offensive.

And at the moment, it seems likely that this tribe has an elite minotaur.

At this time, Taner was not surrounded by his familiar comrades, which made him nervous.

He is surrounded by a group of civilians who need protection, which is a daunting task.

Then he heard Rand's command: "Ready!"

It was not until Rand gave the order to prepare that he realized that these people who looked like ordinary villagers were actually a group of cultists.

There is also a powerful messenger of God here, so there is no need to worry about failure.

However, unlike Taner who felt at ease, Rand was sweating profusely.

He had been living so comfortably during this period that he forgot the fact that he was a cloud player.

He was clear about the major events, but he didn't know some details.

So why are there more than three Tauren tribes on the surface now? Isn't this still in the first expansion? This is simply embarrassing for Fat Tiger! He can't run away. The natural strength and speed of the Tauren are not comparable to humans.

At this point, we can only go ahead with it.

Just as the minotaurs were about to form a formation, Rand shouted, "Fire!"

Following Rand's order, the believers pulled the slings and threw the stones.

There were twenty slingshot soldiers in total. The twenty stone bullets looked like nothing from a distance, but when you got closer, they were as dense as rain.

The smooth stone bullet cut through the breeze and hit the minotaur who was trying to rush forward at high speed.

Accompanied by screams, the three minotaurs in the front row fell down with blood holes all over their bodies before they even understood what was happening. The minotaurs behind them were also injured to varying degrees.

What is this? Witnessing all this, Shasa, the leader of the minotaurs in the last row, looked horrified. If it was a bow and arrow, she would be familiar with it, but this seemingly weak stone could actually knock down the naturally mighty minotaurs.

At this time, Rand was still standing on Taner's shoulders, physically superior to him.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Then he made eye contact with a minotaur with braided hair in the last row.

This monster, which was a circle larger than an ordinary minotaur, pulled up the giant totem pole that was originally inserted into the ground, made a shaking roar, and threw the totem pole out.

This was a perfect example of the power of a flying brick. The speeding totem pole squeezed the air and rushed straight towards Rand.

At this moment, Taner realized that his chance to show off had come! Last time, he cleverly moved a stool for the Lord of God and was promoted. Although it looked a bit like a test, he was indeed promoted.

And now, the second opportunity has come.

Although it is possible that the Lord Messenger of God does not need his help at all, being able to let the Lord Messenger of God do less work is also a way of showing his kindness.

Taner took a step forward, grabbed the giant two-handed sword beside him, and then spun the sword in a semicircle in the air.

He split the totem pole in two from front to back, so that wood chips flew around him.

Rand had already jumped to the ground and continued to give orders: "Reload, standby!"

Just as the cultist slinger spun the rope again, a vague voice was heard: "Wait!"

"?"

I've never heard of Tauren being able to speak, and they can even speak a common language.

Seeing that Rand did not continue to order the attack, the braided minotaur spitted and said quickly: "We surrender, stop fighting, we surrender!"

…

Return to the hideout.

Each minotaur was imprisoned in a separate place and tied to a secure place with thick ropes. Rand looked down at the minotaur with braids. This elite minotaur was the leader.

“Speak for your worth.”

This was already Rand's second time facing prisoners, so it could only be said that he was already very experienced.

The fighting power of this group of Tauren is quite strong, so we need to deal with them with caution and not let them gather together. Otherwise, if they rebel, this small nest with weak strength will easily be damaged.

"I know the way to the Underdark!" the Tauren sage Shasa said hurriedly.

"Not enough." Rand sat on the chair that Taner had cleverly brought over again, stretched his waist, and said, "What good is it for us to go to the Underdark? Your information is worthless!"

The Minotaur Sage glanced around. The village was not dilapidated and the main roads had been cleared. Although the villagers who liked to wear black robes would cast wary glances from time to time, they did not look very poor.

There doesn't seem to be any need for their minotaurs.

But! She was the wisest person in the Tauren tribe in the past hundred years. She soon realized the problem of this village, that is, there were no livestock here!

The only two animals in this village are a haughty horse that likes to look down on people, and an old horse that is about to die.

She already understood her own value, and said confidently, "You have no livestock!"
