Chapter 411 Conversation
Silk and Drogo looked at each other. They had previously discussed finding an opportunity to talk to the Centaur leader here, but they didn't expect that the other party would find them first.
But think about it, they are now in the other party's village, and there are twenty-five more mouths to feed in their own village. As the patriarch of the other party, he must quickly figure out the matter.
Although he was the tribe leader, his tent was not much bigger than those of other centaurs.
After Drogo and Silk entered, the centaur leader came straight to the point and said...
"My name is Tal, and I am the leader of this group of centaurs. I want to confirm your identities and purpose here."
The other party asked directly, so Silk and Drogo naturally didn't intend to beat around the bush.
After all, they came for the Lizardmen and had no hostility towards the Centaurs, not to mention the existence of Drogo and others.
After listening to this, Chief Tal's stern face relaxed a little.
"I see. I was wondering why you guys suddenly showed up. It turns out you're from another world. The area near the edge of the world has always been occupied by lizardmen, so we have no way of knowing what's going on over there."
While speaking, Chief Tar's gaze fell on Drogo and the others, and asked about the survival situation of the Centaurs over there.
Faced with this question, Drogo couldn't help but show a bit of shame on his face.
"There are only five of us left in the Centaur tribe."
This result made Chief Tal stunned. He never expected that his fellow tribesmen on the opposite side had fallen to this point.
Drogo felt even more ashamed of this, and then he talked about what had happened over the years.
In fact, their group of centaurs was originally small.
At its largest, there were only twenty or thirty riders. Later, due to natural disasters, man-made calamities, birth, aging, sickness and death, the number continued to decrease.
Until recently, he came to this world to look for traces of other tribesmen, but was surrounded and intercepted by the Lizardmen, causing them heavy casualties...
"Those damn stinking lizards!"
Upon hearing this, Chief Tal's face showed obvious resentment.
It is destined that two neighboring forces are unlikely to live in peace, and they have many conflicts with each other.
Then Chief Tal's gaze fell on Drogo again.
"Drogo, since there are only five of you left, why don't you stay here and join our pack?"
As the leader of the tribe, Tal has been able to lead the tribe to survive until now while living as neighbors with the Lizardmen. It is impossible that he is completely brainless.
According to what Drogo said before, there were only five men left in their tribe.
In a few years, this ethnic group of theirs might be completely wiped out.
Under this premise, they look for their tribesmen in order to avoid this situation.
From this point of view, Tal thought that Drogo had no reason to reject him.
During this time, Silk, who was sitting next to him, raised his eyebrows slightly.
Obviously, he did not expect that the other party would poach people from their Great Zhou right in front of him.
But the other party was Drogo's fellow tribesman after all, and had saved them before, so it was not convenient for him to say anything at this moment.
As his thoughts raced, Silk glanced at Drogo out of the corner of his eye.
And he believed that Drogo would make the right judgment.
At this moment, facing the recruitment from Tal, Drogo was stunned.
In fact, it was for this purpose that they had gone deep into the unknown new world to look for traces of their people. But now, subtle changes have taken place in Drogo's heart.
It was not as easy as he had imagined. He didn't even think that joining the other tribe was something worth being happy about.
Compared to joining the other party's ethnic group, would it be a better choice for the other party to surrender to their Great Zhou and become a member of their Great Zhou?
There was no doubt that this was what Drogo was thinking at this moment.
Even though they had only stayed in the Centaur village for less than three days, they had already gained a general understanding of the situation there.
Simply put, the Centaurs are not living as well as Silk and his companions did back then.
Who doesn't want to live a good life these days? But the other party is the head of a tribe after all, and unlike his own situation, the size of the Centaur tribe here has reached at least hundreds, and their own strength is definitely not bad. It is not an easy task to make them submit to other forces.
At the same time, Drogo didn't know how to start.
In the end, he could only shake his head in embarrassment.
"Thank you for your kindness, Chief Tal, but I am a member of the Great Zhou and will not join any other faction."
This result caught Tal off guard and he frowned.
"Isn't the leader of this Great Zhou a human? You and I are of the same race!"
At this moment, he obviously didn't care about Silk who was sitting next to him.
There is undoubtedly some truth in what Tal says, but it is not much.
For those who have already gotten used to life in the Great Zhou, they can still tell the good from the bad.
The most important thing is that due to Zhou Xu’s earlier performance, both Drogo and Silk had a very good impression of their king.
The king is reliable, life is easy, and he even has trustworthy comrades and brothers. Under this premise, if Drogo were to give up all these and join Tal and his tribe without hesitation, then his brain must have been pinched by a door panel.
At this moment, listening to Tal's emphasis, Drogo also frowned.
I wanted to say something, but finally gave up the idea.
He was not stupid. He could feel that asking the other party to surrender at this time would only have the opposite effect.
In the end, he just said one sentence.
"This has nothing to do with whether or not we are of the same race. I am a citizen of the Great Zhou, that's all."
After saying that, without waiting for Tal to say anything more, Drogo changed the subject.
"Compared to this, would Chief Tal consider joining forces with our Great Zhou to resolve the threat from the Lizardmen?"
At this moment, Drogo's idea was very simple. That was to solve the threat of the Lizardmen by joining forces, while establishing a connection between the Centaur tribe here and their Great Zhou. In the process of deepening understanding, perhaps the other party would change their minds.
When Tal heard this, his attention was really diverted.
"Get rid of the lizardmen? How can this be as simple as it sounds? You don't even know how powerful the lizardmen are."
At this point, Tal paused.
"At the same time, the threat here is not just from the Lizardmen, there are also the Ratmen. Those stinky rats are not good guys either. Once they lose the restraint of the Lizardmen, the Ratmen will become a deadly threat to us!"
