Chapter 422: Ways to Break the Situation
At the same time, on the Lizardman Continent...
After Drogo and Silk broke through the blockade and escaped into the energy channel, Thoros did not issue any more orders to pursue them. Instead, he signaled the garrison troops to remain vigilant and pay attention to the opening of the energy channel. He went to the temple in person and reported the matter to the high priest.
At this moment, compared to Soros's defeat, the high priest's attention has been completely focused on another matter.
That is, compared to when they came, the number of Centaurs in the enemy reconnaissance force has increased.
Thinking about the fact that the other party was rescued by the centaurs here, the high priest couldn't help but frown deeply.
Anyone who is not stupid can guess where the extra centaurs came from.
This means that the guys on the other side of the world have established a connection with the Centaurs on their side.
What do they want to do?
Such a question flashed through the high priest's mind.
"That's really not a good sign."
No matter what the other party wants to do, it is probably not a good thing for them, the Lizardmen.
At this moment, in the high priest's mind, the desire to destroy the Centaurs once again became stronger.
Of course, there is no need to elaborate on the special status of the Centaurs in this world.
If they could be easily destroyed, the high priest would not have tolerated them for so long.
Whenever he thought of this, the high priest's mood became extremely bad.
Among all these forces, the Lizardmen are clearly not the weakest. In fact, they still have the advantage in strength. How come they are struggling to survive? "Soros, what do you think about this?"
Hearing the question from the high priest, Soros, who was standing below, suddenly changed his expression.
He never expected that the high priest, who always liked to be arbitrary, would throw such a difficult question to him at this time.
But at the same time, he somewhat understood the reason.
Because this decision is indeed not easy to make.
The question now is whether or not to take action against the Centaurs.
Once they mobilized their troops, they would completely fall out with the Centaurs. Given their temperament, this matter would definitely not end well.
At that time, they will have to bear the pressure from both the ratmen and the centaurs at the same time.
The ratmen, their mortal enemies, would 100% seize this opportunity to wipe them out. They had no chance of winning at all.
As for not moving troops...
The Centaurs had in-depth contact with the forces of the other world. What good could come of this? Their existence was a threat to both forces. Once the two sides joined forces, wouldn't the first thing they did be to attack them? At that time, they would be attacked from both sides by the Skaven, and they would be doomed.
Good man, he's going to die anyway...
According to Soros' current thinking, they should not have gone to that world to look for any opportunity to break the impasse.
Now, instead of finding a chance to break the impasse, a big trouble has come.
Of course, he also knew that saying this now would be like hindsight, anyone would say it, and it was meaningless.
"If we don't mobilize against the Centaurs for the time being, we can have more time to concentrate our forces on dealing with the Skaven. On the other hand, if we choose to mobilize immediately, we will be able to better seize the initiative."
Soros simply weighed the pros and cons of this situation, but did not come to a clear conclusion.
This decision would have too much impact. If anything goes wrong, wouldn’t he be singled out by the high priest to take the blame?
The high priest could see through Soros's little thoughts, but he was not in the mood to care about them at the moment.
Because he also knew that the current situation had caused them to be so entangled.
If even he couldn't make a decision, how could Soros, as his subordinate, make one?
For a moment, the temple fell into an eerie silence.
Soros stood below, not daring to move or make a sound, while the high priest leaned back in his seat, brows furrowed in deep thought.
It was unknown how long this state lasted. The high priest slowly opened his mouth, and his voice broke the obviously depressing atmosphere.
"Things have come to this point, and there is only one solution I can think of."
"High Priest, please explain!"
"That means negotiating peace with the forces in that world!"
I have to say, in this situation, this is indeed a solution.
As long as the forces in the other world give up on mobilizing troops, the situation of the Centaurs will basically be the same as before.
In this way, the balance between them can be maintained.
But the problem is, after such a big fight, how easy is it to make peace with the other party?
"High Priest, the forces over there have made deployments at the other end of the energy channel. Once the energy channel is opened, if we want to get through, they will directly attack and kill us inside the energy channel."
Soros stopped talking here. The meaning was already very clear, that is, they couldn't even send a representative to negotiate peace now.
In response to this situation, the high priest was initially busy thinking about ways to break the impasse and did not think of this point, but with Soros' reminder, he still reacted quickly.
"We can let the Centaurs go. Since they have established connections with the forces in that world, they must have a way to get there."
Now that the high priest has said this, Soros naturally knows what to do.
After leaving the temple, he personally led a team of velociraptors to the border area between their Lizardmen and Centaurs.
Not surprisingly, they were soon spotted by the Centaurs patrolling the border, and were stopped in the most brutal way by an arrow that flew through the air.
Soros, who came with a negotiating mentality, saw this and quickly shouted loudly...
"Don't do anything, we are here to discuss something with your clan leader!"
"Our clan leader has nothing to discuss with you!"
Although the two sides have not completely torn their faces apart, due to the adjacent territories, there are still many minor frictions between the two sides on a daily basis.
This also makes the Centaurs mostly have a bad attitude towards the Lizardmen.
In fact, the same is true for the Lizardmen, but this time, Soros came with a mission. Although he was unhappy with the attitude of the Centaurs on the opposite side, he could only endure it.
"We have something to discuss! This matter concerns whether we can continue to live in peace in the future. I want to discuss this with your clan leader in person."
The Centaur on the opposite side obviously did not expect Soros to bring up this matter.
For a moment, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.
"You guys step back. We will inform the clan leader first, but if you dare to make any small moves during this process, don't blame us for being rude!"
Faced with these words, Soros silently said "calm down" in his heart, and then issued an order to retreat.
When the Centaur on the opposite side saw that the Lizardmen were really retreating, he did not hesitate and quickly signaled a Centaur next to him to go back and inform the chief of the situation.
