Chapter 428: Migration of the Whole Family (Part 3)
At noon the next day after Diak and his companions returned to the Centaur territory, Soros brought a team of dragoons and once again came to the border between their two territories to inquire about the results.
At this point, Diak had already moved to the garrison camp on the border.
This time, facing Soros, he gave a direct and clear answer.
"We can agree to negotiate peace, but the prerequisite is that you have to agree to one condition of ours. Let our entire clan leave here and go to the other side of the world. The peace talks will take effect when we arrive in the other side of the world!"
“…”
This proposal was somewhat beyond Soros's expectations.
He didn't expect the other party to make such a request.
But they soon realized that if they let the Centaurs go, together with the opposing force, the other party would undoubtedly be able to better cooperate and thus pose a greater threat to them.
But from another perspective, this matter is not entirely without benefits for them.
At least after the Centaurs left, the rear of this world can be much more stable.
Although the two sides had kept to themselves before, the lizardmen certainly could not really ignore each other's existence, and the troops that needed to be left behind for guard had to be left behind.
As long as the Centaurs leave, their rear will basically become a solid block.
As for the other side of the world...
The opening of the energy channel is ultimately unstable, and it is not easy for the opponent to invade through the energy channel.
With his thoughts racing, Soros did not give an immediate answer. After stating that he needed to go back and ask the high priest for instructions, he left and reached the temple as quickly as possible.
After listening to Soros' report, the high priest frowned slightly. Obviously, he had also realized the pros and cons.
After a brief silence, the high priest slowly spoke...
“Let them migrate.”
"yes!"
Soros was very calm at this time.
This is something that will not be surprising no matter which side you choose.
After this, the news quickly spread to the Centaurs.
At this point, the Centaurs could finally put their minds at ease.
The news was quickly spread around. The Centaurs, who had heard Joseph brag about the world before, were already longing for the world over there. Now that they received the exact news, they were all very excited.
Among them, Joseph showed great excitement. He wished he could complete the migration of the entire tribe today and embrace a new and free life on the prairie.
However, no matter how fast they move, this matter is unrealistic.
It's not just a matter of time to get from the tribal land to the edge of the world. In addition, they will need at least a day to collect the things in the tribal land.
Even though there is nothing valuable there, it would definitely be better to take it away if I can.
When they get there, they need to build a new tribe, and some living utensils like tents will be useful.
In this way, one after another, by the time the Centaurs arrived at the edge of the world with their belongings, four days had passed.
Looking at the Centaurs carrying large and small bags all over their bodies, Soros was speechless, but he was too lazy to waste time talking to them.
With a wave of his hand, a green lizard priest under his command immediately stood up and began to look for a place to cast spells at the edge of the world.
Looking at the green lizard priest at work, Diak felt relieved and at the same time, he further observed the movements of the green lizard priest.
Obviously, he knew that Zhou Xu was very interested in him.
At this moment, a burst of urgent horn sounds suddenly came from a distance.
This noise made Diak's heart skip a beat as his attention was originally on the green lizard priest.
Before he turned around, accompanied by the screams of his tribesmen, he caught a glimpse of a large number of lizardmen pouring out of the outer rainforest, forming a circle at the fastest speed and attacking them.
At that moment, Diak made a prompt decision, bent his bow and drew his arrow, shooting an arrow at the Green Lizard Priest in the distance! The Green Lizard Priest had obviously known about this trick a long time ago.
As the horn sounded, he fled towards the nearest lizardman formation under the protection of the guards around him.
Although Diak's arrow came suddenly, under the protection of the surrounding lizardman guards, it did not cause any substantial harm to the green lizard priest. This made him annoyed, but he had no time to continue chasing!
It was obvious that the Lizardmen wanted to surround and kill them. Judging from the size of their forces, they were completely unable to defeat them. All they could do now was to break through as quickly as possible.
In this regard, Tal, as the patriarch, is quite experienced.
Almost at the same time when Diak drew his bow and drew his arrow, Tal had already shouted the order...
"Throw away everything you can, quickly!!"
Leaving behind their heavy baggage, the Centaurs, carrying only weapons and some food, regained their mobility.
Tal took the lead and broke through in one direction at the fastest speed! During this time, under the cover of the surrounding guards, Thoros easily retreated to the periphery with a sneer on his face. Looking at the centaurs fleeing in panic, he couldn't help but think of the words of the high priest before...
"Let them migrate, and then surround and kill them on that plain!"
As for the Centaurs, whether they are allowed to migrate to the other side of the world or not allowed to migrate and their request is rejected, it will not be beneficial to them in the end.
But what if we don’t follow the two known options?
As long as they can successfully surround and kill the Centaurs here, the forces on the opposite continent should not dare to act rashly relying solely on their own strength, right? It must be said that the Lizardmen’s current dire situation has already made the High Priest start to take an unconventional approach.
Shouldering the mission of encircling and killing the Centaurs, Soros skillfully and decisively mobilized the surrounding velociraptors to contain the Centaurs and buy time for the formation of the encirclement.
The Centaurs' ability to charge and break through is indeed powerful, but this ability requires sufficient distance to bring up the speed and thus pose a threat.
In other words, as long as they succeeded in making the other side lose speed, then the Centaurs trapped in the encirclement would have no way out! In this process, the velociraptors risked their lives to intercept and kill.
Soros didn't even blink an eye at the death of the dragoons. As long as this hidden danger could be solved, this sacrifice would be worth it.
And their sacrifice did pay off.
The Centaurs, who had been forced to give up their means of breakout in order to completely break through the Dragoons' desperate blockade, had begun to show signs of losing speed.
Soros, who saw this scene, had a victorious smile on his face.
"The encirclement will soon be formed. Judging from the distance, the Centaurs who have lost speed will have no chance of catching up."
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a scream came from beside him.
"Lord Soros, look over there!"
Following the sound, I saw a group of Centaurs appearing from nowhere in the outer area. They were rushing towards the encirclement that was about to be formed at the fastest speed!
