Chapter 455: Centaur Charge
Although Diak had never read any military tactics, it did not affect his knowledge of what he should do now.
Instead of rushing to support the Great Zhou cavalry who were fighting fiercely with the Speed Dragon Cavalry, he turned around and pointed his spearhead directly at the rear position where the opposite high priest was!
The high priest, who noticed the situation here at a glance, changed his expression slightly.
"What are the patrols doing? They didn't even bother to report when the Centaurs broke in?!"
[Do you think it is possible that the patrol team’s small force has been completely wiped out…]
Soros muttered something in his heart, but he certainly didn't dare to say it out loud. At this time, he shouldn't say anything and should just listen to the high priest's instructions.
Among the lizard people, the high priest holds the highest status and is God's representative on earth. Given his position, protection work naturally needs to be done well.
The surrounding Lizardmen infantry formed a square formation to protect the high priest in the center of the position. In addition, fifty velociraptors were specially reserved just in case.
Under normal circumstances, if fifty swift cavalrymen were to face the opposing Great Zhou cavalrymen, they would be able to put up a brief fight even if they were at a disadvantage in terms of troop strength.
But against the Centaurs who outnumbered them, they had no advantage at all.
The high priest could see that the Centaurs' move was intended to force him to call back his troops and thus resolve the current crisis facing the Great Zhou cavalry.
However, given his temperament, how could he possibly do what the other party wanted? In this wave of operations, their top priority was to recapture the plains and destroy the frontline troops of the Great Zhou.
As for the Centaurs, just hold them back first.
With this thought in mind, the high priest, who had no intention of recalling the troops, issued another order.
"Let them activate 'Boiling Blood'."
After receiving the order, Soros said nothing and directly signaled the lizardman soldier beside him to give a signal.
After confirming the signal, the faces of the fifty dragoons who were about to meet the enemy changed slightly.
'Boiling blood' is something like a 'last resort' for them. Once activated, this ability will use their blood as fuel, converting it into power to bless them until the last drop of blood in their bodies is burned dry.
So this is a capability that, once activated, there is no retreat!
They never expected that the high priest would ask them to use this trick right away.
But it is not incomprehensible.
After all, facing the Centaurs whose forces outnumbered theirs, they couldn't think of any other means except this one.
Thinking of this, the fifty dragoons shouted loudly.
Along with that special tone, the lizardmen quickly became excited. All the negative emotions were thrown behind them at this moment. All that was left in their hearts was a full will to fight! Li Ce was not unfamiliar with the methods displayed by the lizardmen here. When they fought against the velociraptors on the grassland, the velociraptors also used similar methods.
The lizardmen who entered this state not only gained a higher combat power, but also became even more fearless and brave. They fought to the death and had no intention of retreating! Although Diak and his men did not understand this method, they undoubtedly felt the change in the other party's atmosphere.
Invisibly, their instinct as living things has made them smell a scent of danger.
He didn't dare to be careless at all. Out of caution, Diak directly showed his methods.
【War Charge!!】
With loud shouts, the Centaurs launched a 'war charge' and began to run wildly.
During this period, Joseph rushed directly to the front of the team.
There is no doubt that this was Diak's arrangement, and Joseph's previous performance gave him the opportunity to take the lead.
For the Centaurs, being able to lead the charge was a great honor! Considering Joseph's superb charging ability, Diak even adjusted the charging tactics specifically for him.
While running, Joseph directly left the main force behind and rushed out.
At the moment of head-on collision with the Swift Dragon Cavalry, the spreading invisible impact instantly knocked the Swift Dragon Cavalry, who was rushing in the front, away.
After that, without giving the opposing swift cavalry any chance to react, a large force led by Diak arrived shortly afterwards, cooperating with Joseph's first charge to form a two-stage attack! In one breath, they dispersed the charging formation of the fifty swift cavalry.
That’s right, this is exactly what Diak thought when he saw Joseph charging into the battle.
If the power of the war charge could be that strong with Joseph's speed, they could let Joseph charge alone, and then have the main force follow behind to launch a second strike, thereby more thoroughly defeating the enemy's formation.
Now this move can be said to have completely achieved the effect that Diak expected. The opposing velociraptors were almost broken into pieces by them.
After that, Diak ignored the scattered dragoons and waved his hand, leading his people to charge straight at the infantry position where the high priest was!
The high priest had long known about the Centaurs' advantage in overall strength, but he never expected that fifty dragoons who had activated the "Boiling Blood" would be so vulnerable to the Centaurs' second charge.
Although the Centaurs launched a war charge in advance in order to defeat the Dragoons in the shortest possible time, after that, they only had to face the Lizardmen's infantry.
In Diak's opinion, even without a war charge, the enemy could be easily defeated.
Just when Diak thought victory was within reach, a group of blow darts suddenly attacked them from the side. On the originally empty plain area, a group of Chameleon Lurkers appeared there! Even though they knew that there was such a lurking force on the opposite side, the existence of the Chameleon Lurkers still made them unable to defend themselves.
However, Diak did not show overly panic because of the attack. Unlike Drogo and his men, the centaurs on their side had developed resistance to the toxins.
After being infected, although it cannot be said that there is no impact at all, it is definitely not a fatal threat.
However, before Diak could finish this thought, giant lizards suddenly rushed out from the phalanx of lizardmen infantry in the distance, roaring and rushing towards the Centaurs who were still charging.
Needless to say, taking into account the unexpected situation, in addition to the dragoon cavalry, the high priest also kept other backup plans. After all, the high priest still attached great importance to his own life safety.
