Chapter 1348 Joseph's Collapse
It started raining at some point, and the rain got heavier and heavier, with the cold rain constantly hitting his body.
"Di, Diak?"
Looking at the figure in front of him, Joseph's expression was dazed.
The moment their eyes met, Diak, whose pupils were almost dilated, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his iron tower-like body fell to the ground with a bang.
Along the way, he led Joseph in a crazy breakout and killed so many people that his blood was almost drained. God knows what kind of willpower allowed him to hold on until this point.
"No, no, no, this is not true..."
The scene before him made Joseph begin to doubt his own eyes. Dragging his seriously injured body, he almost used both his hands and feet to crawl to Diak and picked him up.
The moment he touched it, it felt cold, and even the flesh and blood had dried up visibly, which made Joseph feel a little emotionally broken.
"It's okay, you're okay, Diack!"
He tried to give him some first aid, but the spears that pierced his body made it impossible for Joseph to start. At the same time, he could not feel any signs of breathing or heartbeat, which made him burst into tears.
During this time, the Centaur soldiers who had followed out to fight noticed the commotion here. Some of them burst into tears, while others closed their eyes in pain.
One of the young Centaur soldiers struggled to get up, came to Joseph, and punched him hard in the face! "Why?! Why on earth are you rushing?!"
As he questioned, the young Centaur kept hitting Joseph in the face with his fists.
Joseph did not dodge, with a look of despair on his face, and let the opponent's fist fall.
"Originally, no one had to die! No one had to die! Did you know that?!!"
“Aaaaaaaaaaah!!!”
After a few more punches, the young Centaur loosened his grip on Joseph, who was in despair, and let him fall to the ground, crying out in despair, and even slapped himself hard a few times afterwards.
He knew that he was just taking out his anger on Joseph.
Because at that time, he and Joseph had the same idea, but he did not have Joseph's strength, nor was he as brave as Joseph.
At the moment when Joseph launched the charge, he even felt a sense of pleasure in his heart, thinking that this time they would be invincible like before.
However, the bloody result at this moment made him face the reality instantly.
He blamed everything on Joseph and avoided paying the heavy price, thinking that this would make him feel better.
But it didn't happen, and this action made him even more miserable.
Listening to the crying and wailing of collapse, Joseph noticed that the number of brothers who survived around him was not even a hundred.
The tragic price paid made Joseph burst into tears.
Just then, a figure walked over.
"What does it look like to cry so much?"
Hearing the voice, Joseph looked up subconsciously.
"Uncle Jack"
In their unit, Jack is Diak's adjutant and also a good brother who grew up with Diak.
At this moment, he was standing in the heavy rain, letting the rain wash his cheeks, with no expression showing any joy or anger on his face.
"Remember what happened today, pick yourself up and act like a man."
"This is what Diack asked me to tell you."
Having said that, Jack took a deep breath, as if trying to calm himself down. Obviously, he was not as calm as he looked.
"If you understand, stand up. This heavy rain is just in time to wash away the smell we left behind along the way. We have to move quickly."
After talking to Joseph, Jack turned and looked at the other tribesmen around him.
"Everyone assemble!"
As Diak's adjutant, Jack had considerable prestige among the Centaur group. As soon as he opened his mouth, the Centaur soldiers around him quickly gathered.
During this time, Joseph struggled to stand up, and then planned to carry Diak's body onto the back of his horse.
Seeing this, Jack took two steps over.
"You are seriously injured, so let me do it."
In the heavy rain, the assembled Centaur cavalry began to move again.
They had already lost their way and had no idea where to go. The only thing they could do now was to take advantage of the heavy rain and run as far as possible.
They didn't know how long they had been walking. By the end, they were all numb both mentally and physically.
By the time they came to their senses, the rain had stopped and the distant sky was slightly pale.
Jack let out a long breath and looked around.
"Everyone, take a rest here for a while."
All of them have already reached their limits, and they have only relied on their willpower to hold on until now.
Now that they were allowed to rest, many Centaurs collapsed to the ground on the spot. Some even became so tired that they lost consciousness after stopping.
Jack wanted to take a nap, but he couldn't fall asleep.
The death of Diak and the battle with the Goblin Wolf Cavalry had made their current situation even more difficult, and they didn't have much food left.
Unfortunately, they were lost and didn't know where to go. The huge pressure made Jack so worried that he couldn't sleep at all.
But he also knew that he needed to rest. Even if he couldn't sleep, he forced himself to lean there with his eyes closed.
Jack was in a daze and didn't know how long this state lasted. Suddenly, he felt a subtle but intensive vibration.
It was completely instinctive. Before he even opened his eyes, his body had already climbed up using both hands and feet.
[Pursuers?!]
At this moment, he was not the only Centaur cavalryman who had the same reaction.
Years of military training allow soldiers to wake up immediately even if they are in a deep sleep.
"The Goblin Wolf Cavalry are catching up?"
"impossible."
Jack shook his head.
"The steps are heavy, not like those of wolf cavalry, but more like the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground."
This situation undoubtedly made Jack a little unsure.
Even if the opponent at this moment is not the Goblin Wolf Cavalry, there is a high probability that it will be an unknown force that they have never had contact with. There are risks in rashly contacting the other party.
But given their current situation, it seems like it won't work if they continue like this.
【Take a gamble.】
The thought flashed through Jack's mind and he made a quick decision.
"I'll go and make contact with the other party. If the situation is not right, I'll send a signal, and then you can follow my signal."
After making some simple arrangements, Jack perked up and took the initiative to move towards the direction where the noise came from.
Soon, the noise became louder and louder, accompanied by the rumbling sound of horse hooves, and a cavalry unit of obvious size came galloping from the direction where the sun was rising.
The sunlight was too dazzling, so he couldn't help but squint his eyes, and he couldn't see the person opposite him at all.
Until a long-lost voice sounded...
"Jack?"
"Who are you……"
Hearing this voice, Jack's heart skipped a beat and he quickly opened his eyes wide.
During this time, the figure leading the opposite side also approached quickly, allowing Jack to finally see his appearance clearly.
“Chief!!”
