Chapter 1349 The Hunt Begins
At this moment, the person who appeared in front of Jack was none other than Drogo, the leader of their Great Zhou Centaur tribe!
"Chief, why are you here?"
Since Tonglu Fort has also been invaded by greenskins for many years, after reaching a strategic alliance with Tonglu Fort, some of their Great Zhou troops have been stationed on the border of Tonglu Fort all year round.
The Centaur troops led by Drogo, who have night vision capabilities, are the main force among them.
When he heard Jack's question, Drogo was obviously confused.
"I should be the one asking you this. This is outside Copperforge Castle. Why are you here?"
“…”
Hearing this, Jack was stunned and subconsciously looked back in the direction he came from.
"Outskirts of Copperforge?"
Jack never expected that they would run all the way and end up back home.
After all, they all knew that Tonglu Fort was right next to their Great Zhou, and it only took half a day on horseback to get from their Great Zhou Plain Fortress to Tonglu Fort.
Isn't this the doorstep?
For a moment, Jack's mood was extremely complicated. He had no time to think about it and hurriedly told Drogo about their experiences along the way.
After hearing this, Drogo's face suddenly changed.
From Jack's disheveled appearance, he could guess that something must have happened.
But even so, he did not expect that the casualties of this wave of Northeastern Army Centaur Cavalry would be so heavy!
At the same time, Diak, the leading general, was killed in the battle!
This result was undoubtedly tragic for the Centaurs of their Great Zhou.
However, as the patriarch, Drogo remained calm at the critical moment.
"I'll have someone take you back to the camp to rest and recuperate. I'll notify the Northeastern Army, and leave the rest to me."
Listening to Drogo's arrangements, the steady voice made Jack feel relieved. His tense nerves finally relaxed at this moment, and then his legs and feet went soft, and he fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Drogo was quick-witted and caught him, then quickly checked his vital signs. After confirming that Jack was simply fainted from exhaustion, he handed him over to a Centaur cavalryman who arrived later.
"Take Jack back to the camp first, and then notify the Giant Eagle Knight to pass on the message..."
There are Giant Eagle Knights stationed in Copperforge to deliver messages. Jack and his men appeared here, which means that the Northeastern Army is not far from here.
The movement of a large army is very conspicuous. We need to identify the direction, let the Giant Eagle Knights fly into the air, and use the high-altitude vision to explore. We should be able to locate the Northeastern Army's position quickly.
Drogo quickly arranged things, and then took his Centaurs to meet Joseph and the others.
When Drogo and the others appeared, Joseph and the others had a look of disbelief on their faces.
No one expected why their clan leader would appear here.
But one thing is certain: they are finally safe! After having Joseph and his men brought back to the camp and treating their wounds, Drogo turned around and led his troops back here.
Then, following the direction that had been confirmed at that time, they moved forward in the opposite direction.
One purpose was to recover the bodies of his tribe members along the way, and the other purpose was undoubtedly that he was going after the Goblin Wolf Cavalry on the opposite side!
Killing so many of his tribe members, this matter would not be so easy to settle!
In one night, with the other side still pursuing, the distance between the two sides could not be too far.
At this time, Drogo's thoughts were clear, and he quickly determined a rough range in his mind.
At the same time, the Goblin Wolf Riders, who had also been exhausted from a night of pursuit and bloody fighting, had reached their limit and found a place to sit and rest.
As a result, they had not rested for long when the goblin wolf riders were awakened one after another by the increasingly strong tremors of the earth.
"What's going on?"
"What's going on? Are the Centaurs coming back again?"
"Impossible. At this point, their condition is only worse than ours. How could they have the strength to fight back?"
They couldn't come to a conclusion after discussing it here. The two Wolf Cavalry generals who had the final say were both dead. Now a group of low-level officers gathered together in confusion.
In the end, he simply ordered a team of wolf cavalry to go and investigate the situation first.
The Goblin Wolf Cavalry Squad received the order and moved quickly, controlling the sound and moving towards the direction where the noise came from.
The leading goblin wolf cavalryman had just stuck his head out when he saw a flash of cold light in front of him. An arrow broke through the air and went straight into his forehead!
"The hunt has begun!"
The arrow shot by Drogo seemed to send out some kind of signal, and the Centaur cavalry led by him quickly deployed a hunting formation.
"WAAAAGH!!!"
At this moment, the Goblin Wolf Riders on the opposite side obviously did not realize that their opponents had been replaced by a new group, and they just thought that Diak and his men had come back to attack them again.
Amid the battle cries, the Goblin Wolf Riders quickly took action.
The core of the entire tactic is still based on encirclement, with a large number of goblin wolf cavalry rushing out from all directions.
Seeing this, Drogo did not panic at all. He ordered the Centaur cavalry to maintain the hunting formation and retreat in an orderly manner. He took advantage of the situation and used the kite tactics by relying on his horse and archery skills.
Unlike Diak and his men who were almost exhausted and out of ammunition and food, this group of Centaur cavalry led by Drogo can be said to be in the best condition.
They can now run and fight, and each of them is very nimble. When they use the kite tactic, there is basically no pressure at all.
In comparison, the Goblin Wolf Cavalry were exhausted both physically and mentally from the long period of action, and their reactions became sluggish.
Being pulled back by the Centaur cavalry, they immediately made low-level mistakes, and their originally scattered formation unconsciously began to close together.
Seeing this, Drogo immediately gave an order, and the Centaur riders immediately showed off their triple-shot skills. They fired a series of arrows in one hand, and a high-density continuous rain of arrows swept towards the Goblin Wolf riders.
After this round of tug-of-war, the Goblin Wolf Cavalry on the opposite side finally reacted, but it was too late to retreat.
The Centaur Cavalry turned around and found that they could neither catch up nor escape from the Goblin Wolf Cavalry. They had more men, but they were unable to use them at all. A sense of powerlessness and desperation suddenly arose in their hearts.
The subsequent frontal charge was even more deadly! In the end, the surviving Goblin Wolf Riders were forced to scatter like birds and beasts. Drogo and his men did not hesitate, but just focused on harvesting and killing as many as they could.
Like Drogo said at the beginning, it's just a hunt!
