I Want To Be a Nobleman
Chapter 34
Two weeks after the elimination of swamps and wilderness, the troops of the reclamation alliance have rested. It''s time to move to the East!
The main purpose of this operation is to find out what kind of creatures the aborigines in the East, that is, their enemies, how effective they are, and where they can build their new homes.
The secondary purpose is to lay down an outpost to prepare for the subsequent advance and strategic deployment of the army.
All the nobles set out together, and almost all the extraordinary Knights sent out. The soldiers only brought the elite among the elite. This time, they are not ready for a large-scale war and do not need a large number of ordinary soldiers.
A total of 27 nobles, more than 200 extraordinary knights and 500 elite soldiers have formed an army with small number, high combat effectiveness and good mobility.
In addition to himself and harlott and other knights, Marcus and his party also brought five Knight attendants of harlott, five elite gladiators under bald heads and more than a dozen guards trained by him.
The marshes and wilderness have been cleared back and forth by the Marquis of Prague and other nobles for several months. All threatened creatures have been basically slaughtered, and there will be no threat in a short time.
The land reclamation troops arrived in the East in just three days.
Full of unknown, novel unexplored areas! They set up a camp together and began to investigate separately.
Even the Marquis of Prague is only half a level higher than other nobles. No one is satisfied with anyone. Simply, each nobleman acts separately.
Some people are willing to follow others, and Marcus with lofty aspirations naturally set out alone with Harold and others.
They are located in a place where the land is close to the wilderness. The vegetation is not lush. They haven''t seen the shadow of any intelligent creatures for a long time. Only some wild animals exist.
But after going deep into the East, they met a terrible enemy, the Centaur!
The upper body is human, and the lower body is the bloodthirsty and cruel race of horses. Each Centaur has much more physical quality than human beings, and they are natural cavalry, and their speed is no less than that of human cavalry.
At present, harlott and others do not see villages or towns. The Centaur is in a low civilization level. It is still a primitive society with small tribes as the main body. The buildings are also very simple. A dozen houses built on turf and wood can be regarded as a tribal camp.
Although civilization is backward, the combat power of centaurs is far superior to that of humans! All of them are soldiers, men, women, old and young. They are born soldiers.
The Centaur of long-range archery is very accurate. It can also shoot arrows while moving. There are a lot of kites. Human cavalry can only be beaten.
The Centaur in melee combat is even more powerful and has an amazing physique. It is more than three meters tall and weighs nearly half a ton!
The power of the first attack from the Centaur''s charge is particularly exaggerated. Even the bald head can''t carry it. Only Marcus, a heroic descendant with strong blood, and harlot with extraordinary power can withstand the Centaur''s charge.
Fortunately, the Centaur tribes met by Marcus and others are small tribes with a small number of people, with only 20 or 30 centaurs.
Centaurs are bloodthirsty and cruel. They can''t communicate at all. They attack immediately when they see Harold and others. This time, Marcus proposes to take the initiative to attack the Centaur tribe.
A group of people ambushed on a hill a kilometer away.
"I''ll attract the Centaur. You''re in ambush here!"
Skinhead riding is the best. He offered to be a bait, and Marcus nodded.
The Centaur''s body was very strong, but his IQ was really average. When he saw a bald head riding alone through their door, more than a dozen centaurs immediately chased after him.
Baldheaded immediately drove his horse and fled to the ambush. On the way, he waved his weapons to block several arrows shot at the horse. The bows and arrows of the Centaur are really accurate!
A short distance of one kilometer is completed in dozens of seconds after the horse runs at full speed.
More than a dozen centaurs found the ambush of Harold and others. They didn''t escape and rushed over howling. In their view, any race in the whole eastern land is just the prey of centaurs!
Marcus was angry and shouted, throwing a big flaming fireball at the Centaur, bigger than the fireball thrown by count sarik before harlott!
Harlott could only gather a small fire of 30 cm. He had average lethality to the rough and fleshy creature centaur. He didn''t show his ugliness, so he took a big sword and rushed over.
The Centaur who hit the fireball was killed directly. The whole fire swallowed his body, and the charge of the other centaurs was disrupted.
Harold rushed to the front and fought in a melee. The big sword in his hand became a big flame sword with a burning body after [Fire enchantment]. With his terrible power, he can easily hit the Centaur.
Although the Centaur''s strength is good, its weapons are simple. The damage to Harold who has "+ 40 defense" inside and refined steel plate armour outside is very low, only 4 or 5 points, and Harold who has 77 points of blood is not in a panic.
After learning that civilians could also become heroes and get blood, Harold''s fighting spirit became higher and higher. One sword after another, as if he had endless strength to cut down several centaurs surrounding him.
Following harlott, others also stepped forward bravely, especially Marcus. As long as his huge flame sword sweeps the Centaur, it will kill the Centaur immediately, which is completely crushing the Centaur.
Baldheaded doesn''t have the extraordinary ability of [Fire enchantment]. He still uses an amazing double-edged axe. However, his skills are better. He completely presses the Centaur and doesn''t return the mobile phone to the enemy.
Other knights and elite soldiers also had great momentum and increased their combat power under the brave performance of the three of them.
Finally, he defeated the more than a dozen centaurs without any casualties.
Baldheaded was surprised at Harold''s performance. Harold hacked four or five centaurs alone, almost catching up with Marcus.
He felt that Harold''s strength had surpassed him. In just two months, Harold had changed from a gladiator who couldn''t stop him with one hand to a warrior who even the noble master admired.
This makes the bald head envy and cheer up at the same time. He also has Orc blood. It doesn''t make sense that Harold can keep getting stronger, so he stops here.
The peak period of orcs'' body will last from adulthood to a few months before the end of their life. This is also a powerful capital of orcs. Age will not weaken their combat effectiveness, but will only make them more experienced, better skills and better master "anger" and "Qi".
Bald head has Orc blood. Even in his late 40s, he doesn''t feel physical decline. After accepting the sharing of blood power, he feels that his physical potential can be further improved.
"Well done. Keep going. The next group of centaurs will stay alive!"
After a few compliments, Marcus hurried to attack the Centaur tribe, and Marcus was ready to catch some people alive.
The Centaurs left in the tribe did not expect their companions to be defeated. Marcus and others who were killed were caught off guard.
Only one Centaur broke into the house and escaped. The rest were either killed or captured.
Surprisingly, the Centaur can speak simple mainland common language and can communicate with them normally.
On the way back to the camp, Marcus asked a lot of information and basically understood the situation of this land.
Centaur is the absolute master of this land! Any other race is the prey and slave of the Centaur. The small tribe they attacked is subordinate to the thunder tribe.
The Centaur''s social structure is very primitive. It is a tribe linked by blood. The small tribe has only 20 or 30 people, and the large tribe, such as thunder tribe, has nearly 10000 people.
This land is dominated by several big tribes like thunder tribe. They have no mature country or alliance system. Small tribes are neither protected by big tribes nor need to offer anything. They just give up the most fertile land obediently and submit.
For thousands of years, no foreign enemy has been able to invade this land. The Centaur lives carefree. Only the battle between the same races will make them feel dangerous. The Centaur even repulsed the invasion of the orcs!
"Centaur, thunder tribe, beat back the orcs! It''s a little trouble!"
These intelligence made Marcus frown all the time. The land ruled by a single race is far more difficult to conquer than the land of mixed ethnic groups.
This means that human beings are absolute outsiders in this land, and there is no possibility of vertical and horizontal cooperation. The worst case is to make enemies with the Centaurs of the whole land!
And the most terrible news is that the Centaur has defeated the orcs! We should know that human beings have always been at the bottom of the peak against orcs. Even the kingdom of qiyat where Archduke lance is located is also beaten by orcs.
Orcs and humans have fought for more than ten years and occupied a large number of territories in the kingdom of Chiat, and Harold''s hometown is also one of them.
If it were not for going back to rob the holy mountain with the green orcs, and the red orcs mobilized all their forces and had no spare power to attack humans, the Marquis of Prague would not have a chance to open up wasteland even if he rose to the legendary level.
The orc Centaur that humans can''t beat back has been defeated, even if there may be other reasons, but this is enough to show that the Centaur is powerful. Can they really defeat the Centaur?
After returning to the camp, many nobles have returned from investigation. They are all sad. It is estimated that they have been hit by the Centaur.
Marcus led them to easily defeat the Centaur, mainly because Marcus himself was super strong. Harold and bald also had the strength no less than that of ordinary blood aristocrats.
The combat effectiveness of other nobles was similar to that of bald heads, and their knights and men were slightly weaker than those of Marcus.
Harold estimated the Centaur''s attributes. The strength should be about 15-20 and the agility should be 10-15. Compared with the average human strength of 6 points, the Centaur''s strength is three times that of human beings and the agility is twice that of human beings.
The Knights of nobles are generally top-notch warriors. They have more than 12 points of strength and agility. After the blood power stimulates the potential, their physical attributes will not be weaker than the Centaur, and they have extraordinary power. In addition, the equipment of the Knights also explodes the Centaur. It was easy for them to defeat the Centaur, but the problem was the elite soldiers.
No matter how elite the soldiers led by the nobles are, they can hardly be as powerful as Harold''s Knight attendants or bald headed elite gladiators.
[northern Knight attendants] upgraded from [new Northern Explorer], they have 15 + agility, LV3 and lv4 points of [strike], [iron bone], [Weapon Mastery], [riding] and other skills, and their combat effectiveness is close to that of knights who do not use extraordinary abilities.
The skinhead elite gladiators are always on the edge of life and death, breaking through the limit several times, and are very good at fighting large monsters. They can also easily deal with centaurs.
But the men of other nobles and Marcus''s elite forbidden guards are ordinary humans. No matter how hard they train, they will be suppressed by centaurs in terms of physical attributes.
If there is no strong one to take the lead to destroy the morale of the Centaur, it is difficult to gain the upper hand over the Centaur. When the number of people is equal, even if the equipment is superior, it is mostly lost.
A nobleman with seven or eight knights and a dozen elite soldiers was unlucky and ran into a centaur tribe of twenty or thirty people for collective hunting. It could only be a hard struggle and heavy casualties.
Marcus did not take harlott out with them, but rested in the camp and waited for the Marquis of Prague to come back to discuss countermeasures. The strength of the aborigines exceeded their estimates and could no longer fight on their own!
