Chapter 409: Eat Breakfast
Meanwhile, on the Lizardmen side, Soros, who was leading the retreat, was in a terrible mood.
Not to mention the casualties suffered by the Raptors in this wave of pursuit, when he turns back later, he will have to face another unavoidable casualties.
That's the damage of the Chameleon Lurker.
The chameleon-like lizardmen are a branch of the "Baltu". They are a form of natural evolution of organisms influenced by their living environment and habits.
They have lost the swiftness of ordinary 'Baltu'. Although their hands and feet are slender, their movements are not flexible at all. But on the contrary, when they are stationary, they have excellent environmental mimicry ability, making them excellent lurkers.
Soros originally wanted to use this ability of the Chameleon Lurkers to catch the opponent by surprise and knock him down directly.
Who would have thought that the elf knight on the opposite side could have such a powerful breakthrough ability.
Most of the lizardmen who had seen the "air barrier" before were dead, so the lizardmen were unaware of this information.
Compared to this information, they did know about the existence of the tracking arrow.
But what Soros didn't expect was that the tracking arrow could even track invisible targets! This was undoubtedly due to their lack of understanding of the mechanism of the tracking arrow.
The tracking arrow tracks the target not by 'vision' but by 'marking'.
Simply put, when Silk and the others activated the tracking arrow ability, they would leave something similar to a spell mark on the locked target.
The tracking arrows were flying after this thing, so it would be useless even if the Chameleon Lurker disappeared from Silk's and the others' sight through environmental mimicry.
Because they are not really gone, and the marks left on them continue to play a role.
From this point of view, the tracking arrows of the Elf Knights are simply their nemesis!
Chameleon Lurkers were not physically strong, and tracking arrows could easily pose a fatal threat to them. This wave of accidents caused them to pay a heavy price in casualties.
This is also the main reason why Thoros commanded the Dragoons to pursue them all the way even though Drogo and Silk had already successfully broken through.
Having already paid such a price, he was really unwilling to let the other party escape.
But the fact that Drogo and his companions were able to run so far even after being hit by the lizardman lurkers' blowguns and poisoned by nerve toxins was beyond his expectations.
There is no need to elaborate on what happened later when we were rescued by the Centaurs because we were near their territory.
After returning to his own territory, the first thing Soros did was to rush to the temple and apologize to the high priest.
The opposing reconnaissance force was rescued by the Centaurs. Judging from the current situation, the task assigned to him by the high priest will definitely not be completed.
Inside the temple, the high priest fell into a brief silence as he looked at Soros who was kneeling on one knee below.
Soros actually failed? This was something he had not expected.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
After getting permission, Soros stopped hesitating and told the high priest the whole situation very straightforwardly.
After listening to the whole process, the high priest fell into deeper silence, because he realized that this blame really could not be blamed on Soros.
In fact, Soros has done a very good job. Within a limited time, he not only found the opponent's hiding place, but also forced the opponent into a desperate situation.
Even if he were to take over, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do better.
But what happened next was clearly beyond their control.
Later, the appearance of the Centaur on the opposite side forced Soros to stop, which was undoubtedly the right decision.
At this moment, the group of rats in the south are their biggest enemy. In this situation, if they go to war with the group of centaurs in the north, the situation will become very bad for them.
Soros was right to withdraw at that time.
There are also Centaurs on the opposite continent. They know that the Centaurs on both sides are not in the same group, but they are of the same race after all. Now they are helping and saving the other party when they are being chased by them. There is no guarantee that the Centaurs on this side will not do something afterwards.
Thinking of this, the high priest spoke in a deep voice...
"Soros, you should continue to stay at the edge of the world for the time being and pay attention to the movements over there. Also, keep an eye on the Centaurs in the north, just in case."
The high priest directly began to give follow-up instructions without mentioning any punishment.
Soros knew that the matter was over, and he certainly wouldn't be so stupid as to bring up the matter on his own initiative.
"yes!"
After a yes, he retreated quickly.
Looking at Soros's departing back, the high priest felt a little headache.
The situation was clearly out of control; the war with the rats in the south had come to a stalemate, with neither side able to do anything to the other.
At this time, the appearance of the Centaur made him discover the existence of a new world.
In order to find a breakthrough, the high priest chose to explore the new world to see if he could gain anything.
Now it seems that he made the wrong decision?
Originally, according to his idea, after capturing the enemy reconnaissance force, he would let Soros return to the front battlefield.
After all, keeping Soros here is somewhat of a waste of talent.
But now the situation has changed. With the enemies in the New World and the centaurs in the north who may pose a threat to them in the future, the high priest feels that they need a sufficiently reliable subordinate to take charge, and Soros is undoubtedly the best choice.
Soros himself is certainly not interested in this arrangement.
But since he had just messed up something, he naturally didn't have the courage to raise any opinions and just agreed obediently.
Meanwhile, in the Centaur Village...
No matter how simple this village was, the environment couldn't be worse than the wild. After sleeping in the open air for a while, Silk and his friends slept quite comfortably that night in the Centaur village.
The next morning, the leading Centaur came again and ran into Silk and Drogo who were making a fire and heating pancakes.
Seeing the pancake that began to give off a fragrant smell after being properly heated, the Centaur leader began to drool, but he was actually more confused.
Seeing this, I asked directly...
"What are you doing?"
"Bakeries."
Silk had a subtle expression. Although he thought the other party's question was a bit stupid, he still answered it out of politeness considering their situation.
However, this answer made the Centaur leader even more confused.
"I know you're baking pancakes, but why are you baking pancakes at this hour?"
"Have breakfast!"
“…”
