Chapter 450: The Three-Party Argument
Lizardmen and ratmen are mortal enemies, and the history of fighting between the two sides can even be traced back to the old civilization era.
The end of an era, or even the destruction of the world, could not make the two races let go of their hatred.
In generation after generation of wars, the hatred between the two sides has continued to accumulate, and there is no room for turning back.
Nowadays, the two sides fight frequently. Although it always ends up with neither side being able to do anything to the other, as long as they get the chance, they will undoubtedly want to kill the other.
And now, the Centaurs who suddenly appeared on the southern battlefield and spread the news loudly all the way undoubtedly added fuel to the fire of the war between the two sides that was originally about to come to a temporary end.
Now that’s good, the rat people will probably not give up.
The high priest didn't know how long it took him to calm down. He never thought that the group of centaurs didn't think of approaching the plains to join the opposing forces, but turned around and rushed to the battlefield in the south! No wonder the patrol team sent by Soros didn't find any traces of the centaurs. It turned out that the other party was no longer in this area! However, the more the high priest thought about this matter, the more he felt something was wrong.
Although they had long maintained a state of non-interference with the Centaurs, they still had some preliminary understanding of each other.
Based on his understanding of the Centaurs, those guys shouldn't have such brains.
When he realized this, the high priest subconsciously thought of the Centaurs' previous actions. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and he finally turned his attention to the force in the opposite world.
"Could it be that the opposing force is behind this?"
The more the high priest thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. Ever since the centaurs on their side came into contact with the opposing forces, they have obviously become dishonest.
This made the high priest even more determined to never let the Centaurs come into contact with the opposing forces again.
Of course, now is not the time to be entangled. The most important thing right now is that he needs to make decisions about the situation on the front line.
"Reporting to the high priest, after the centaurs spread the news, the offensive of the ratmen on the other side seemed to have slowed down. Two days before I came back to report, the ratmen basically did not make any moves."
Listening to the report from the lizardmen below, the high priest sneered in his heart.
What good intentions could those ratmen have? They must be planning something! Meanwhile, the Centaurs, who were somewhere in the southern battlefield, showed up on this battlefield and exposed the Lizardmen's hidden secrets. Naturally, they quickly fled.
They simply don't have the strength to confront the Lizardmen's main force head-on. Once caught by the Lizardmen, they will most likely be dead.
Fortunately, the lizardmen here never expected them to appear.
In addition, they were on the battlefield at the time, and the Lizardmen and Ratmen were fighting fiercely, so they had no energy to chase them and let them escape successfully.
Joseph repeatedly confirmed the movements behind him and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that there were no pursuers. He had just returned from a reconnaissance mission and hurried to report to Diak.
During this journey, they were displaced and each of them looked dishevelled and in a rather miserable state.
"Chief, I checked and it seems that the ratmen are not making any movement. Could it be that they don't believe it?"
Hearing this, Diak frowned and then said...
"It doesn't matter whether they believe it or not, we just need to get this done."
Now, the series of actions of the Centaurs were all arranged by Zhou Xu. When Zhou Xu was deducing the situation with Diak, he had already put forward the hypothesis that the Lizardmen might take action.
As for what to do after the Lizardmen took action and the Centaurs successfully broke through, he certainly also made corresponding arrangements.
Needless to say, his arrangement was to have the Centaurs rush to the battlefield where the Lizardmen and the Ratmen were fighting, and inform the Ratmen that the Lizardmen were being attacked from all sides.
Since the two sides are mortal enemies, the rat people will definitely not miss the opportunity to completely wipe out the lizard people.
Under this premise, the fiercer the rat people fight, the less pressure the Da Zhou troops on the other side will feel.
Even if the rat people did not take any action after knowing the news, the mere act of releasing this news was enough to make the lizard people extremely nervous.
Anyway, the lizardmen dare not let their guard down.
"Then Chief, when are we going to join up with the Great Zhou army?"
Joseph, who asked the question, blinked twice.
It was really hard to live a wandering life outside. He missed the dry and comfortable bed and delicious food in Da Zhou, especially the latter! Diak undoubtedly saw what Joseph was thinking, and was speechless.
"The Lizardmen must be searching for us everywhere right now. If we run towards the Great Zhou army, wouldn't that be courting death?"
"What should we do then?"
“…”
Faced with this question, Diak did not give any further answer.
What else can I do? I'll just stay out there and wait for the right opportunity to strike.
To be honest, ever since the Centaurs built a village there, they haven't experienced this kind of wandering life for a long time, and life is really hard, but they have no choice.
At the same time, inside the ratman camp, a ratman who stood on two feet and looked like a big rat covered with gray-black hair was also confused about the latest order issued by their group.
"Captain, why don't we intensify our offensive? Do you think those centaurs are deceiving us?"
As the rat man asked, he looked up at the rat man sitting in the main seat, who had a lot of dirty gray bandages wrapped around his head, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
Needless to say, this ratman is none other than the supreme commander of the ratman army, Jikum.
Faced with the question from his trusted subordinate, Jikum simply glanced at him, then opened his mouth, revealing his seemingly rotten gums and those hideous fangs.
"Let's just assume that the news is true. The main force of the stinky lizards is here. In this case, they have also been attacked by other enemies on the other side, but they have not been completely defeated. That can only mean one reason."
"That is, the enemy on the other side is not very strong and is not strong enough to pose a direct threat to the Lizardmen. While the Lizardmen are fighting us, they still have enough strength to resist the invasion from the other side."
At this point, Jikum paused and turned to look at his trusted subordinates.
"If you were a lizard man, what would you do now?"
"If I were a lizard man..."
While mumbling to himself, the rat man slowly expressed his thoughts...
"As for me, I would want to destroy the weaker force first, and then concentrate my strength to fight us!"
By the time he got to the bottom of it, the rat man had suddenly realized.
"That's right. That force has not been eliminated yet. That means that although the opponent is not strong, it still has some strength. If the Lizardmen want to eliminate them, they need to mobilize troops."
As he spoke, the grim smile on Jikum's face became even more intense.
"If the Lizardmen withdraw their troops, our forces will be weakened. That will be our chance to take action!"
