Chapter 413 Departure
To be a representative of the Centaur tribe, one must have a certain status within the tribe and sufficient decision-making power. Otherwise, if you go there and meet the king of the Great Zhou, and the two sides talk, you can't decide anything. Isn't it a waste of time?
Regarding this issue, Tal didn't have much to worry about. There were only two candidates in their tribe who met this requirement, one was him as the tribe leader, and the other was Diak.
There are still many things in the village that need his attention. This kind of task may require him to be away for a long time, and it is obviously impossible for him, the patriarch, to go there in person. In this way, this task can only fall on Diak.
Basically, as soon as Silk and Drogo left, Tal called Diak over and talked about this matter.
Thanks to the two bites of food he had gotten earlier, Diak had a pretty good impression of Drogo and the others.
Now, when he heard that they were considering joining forces with the Great Zhou and expressed their intention to let him serve as the representative of the tribe and go with Drogo and the others to confirm the situation, Diak did not have too many thoughts and agreed directly.
There is no doubt that through the previous food, he was still very interested in the Great Zhou.
At the same time, Silk and Drogo announced this matter to their soldiers after returning to their resting place, and asked the soldiers to get ready. If nothing unexpected happens, they will set off early tomorrow morning.
Since they decided to go back, they didn't plan to stay here any longer.
More importantly, they have to block the energy channel first. If the energy channel is not open, everything will be in vain.
The next morning, when they arrived at the village entrance, Diak was already waiting for them there.
"Let's go."
Without further ado, the group maintained their speed and soon left the Centaur village.
The patrol team that was going to the border to change shifts escorted them along the way.
With the mentality that they would have someone to take care of them when they went there, Tal arranged five Centaurs, including Diak, to go with them.
After separating from the patrol, they'd better keep a low profile.
Although the situation showed that the Lizardmen did not want to fall out with the Centaurs, who could guarantee that the Centaurs would not do something after encountering them? By then, the Centaurs' village might not even know what had happened.
In this situation, can Chief Tal really risk the lives of all his people and turn against the Lizardmen completely without understanding anything?
This question obviously cannot be answered at this moment.
Diak probably had an idea in his mind, so his next actions were completely different from the arrogance he had when he led the patrol team before.
But no matter what, with the "locals" like Diak leading the way, their subsequent actions will be much smoother.
After they reached a place, seeing that it was getting dark, they found a relatively secluded place and planned to spend the night there.
"Let's just stay here. We'll go check out the surrounding area later."
Just as Diak and Drogo were talking about this, Silk, who was standing beside them, suddenly frowned, and without saying a word, he bent his bow and shot an arrow at the bushes behind him.
All of a sudden, a cry was heard from the bushes in the distance, and a tall figure quickly jumped out.
"It's me, it's me! Don't do it!"
Looking at the figure that jumped out in a panic, Diak, who had a frown on his face the moment before, felt a surge of anger rising to his head the next moment.
"Joseph! You actually followed me out secretly?"
Diak tried to lower his voice as much as possible, but the gritted teeth in his tone could not be concealed.
In response, Joseph gave two dry laughs.
"Don't I want to come and help?"
Diak laughed out of anger when he heard this.
"Do you think this is a joke? I'm doing serious business! Get back here right now!"
"No."
Without even a second's hesitation, Joseph refused decisively.
"You kid..."
Diak was obviously very angry and was about to say something, but at this moment, Silk suddenly made a "silence" gesture.
At that moment, they subconsciously lowered their bodies.
Almost at the same time, a squad of dragoons ran over and appeared on the wild road outside the woods.
"Strange, I clearly heard some noise just now."
In response, the other velociraptors accompanying them waved their hands.
"Okay, we've seen it all, let's go now."
Under the urging of his teammates, the velociraptor no longer had the idea of looking around. He pulled the reins, controlled the velociraptor mount, and left with his teammates.
These dragoons behaved like this not because they were neglecting their duties, but because they knew that this area was close to the border between their Lizardmen and Centaurs.
This special geographical location means that Centaurs are destined to appear nearby from time to time.
What are the situations of the Lizardmen and Centaurs? All the Lizardmen who have been in charge of patrolling here for a long time know this.
If they really caught the Centaur, would they still be able to take action? So their attitude has always been "relax and patrol casually, as long as nothing serious happens."
And it’s obvious that this new person doesn’t understand the rules here.
After watching the team of velociraptors walk away, Silk and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Diak glared at Joseph fiercely.
"Get back here right now!"
“No!”
Same request, same answer. Unlike his previous behavior when he ran away after seeing Diak, this time Joseph acted unusually tough, which made Diak very angry.
Just when he was about to forcibly send Joseph back without thinking, Drogo spoke up.
"Let him follow if he wants. One more centaur won't cause any trouble. We are already in the territory of the lizardmen. It will be more dangerous whether you send Joseph back or let him go back alone. It's better to let him follow."
"That's right."
As soon as Drogo opened his mouth, Joseph immediately agreed enthusiastically, and then he was ruthlessly taught a lesson by Diak.
After giving the boy a hard slap on the back of his head, Diak sighed.
He had to admit that what Drogo said made sense.
"Listen to me, Joseph. I can let you follow me, but you must obey me. Otherwise, I will take you back myself!"
Ignoring Diack's harsh words in the second half, Joseph, who had received permission, was excited and nodded his head vigorously to express...
"No problem, I promise to listen to you and do whatever you say. I will never cause any trouble for you, I promise!"
“…”
