Chapter 409 Let’s have breakfast
At the same time, on the Lizardmen side, Thoros, who led the troops to retreat, was in a terrible mood along the way.
In this wave of pursuit, let alone the casualties the Dragon Cavalry paid, he would have to face another unavoidable casualty when he turned back later.
That's the Chameleon Lurker's damage.
The chameleon-type lizard people are a branch of their 'Baltu'. It can be regarded as a form of natural evolution of creatures affected by the living environment and habits.
They have lost the agility of ordinary 'Baltu'. Although their hands and feet are slender, their movements are not flexible at all. However, in contrast, they have excellent environmental mimicry capabilities in a static state and have become excellent lurkers.
Soros originally wanted to take advantage of the ability of the Chameleon Lurkers to take them down by surprise.
Who would have thought that the elf knight on the opposite side could have such a powerful breakthrough ability.
Most of the lizardmen who had seen the 'air barrier' before were dead, so this information was unknown to the lizardmen.
Compared with this information, they do know the existence of the tracking arrow.
But what Soros didn't expect was that the tracking arrow could even chase invisible targets!
This is undoubtedly caused by their lack of understanding of the mechanism of tracking arrows.
The tracking arrow does not rely on ‘vision’ to track the target, but on ‘marking’.
To put it simply, when Silk and the others activated the ability of tracking arrows, they would leave something similar to a spell mark on the targeted target.
The tracking arrow is flying after this thing, so it is useless even if the Chameleon Lurk disappears from Silk's sight through environmental mimicry.
Because they didn't really disappear, and the marks left on them continued to play a role.
From this point of view, the tracking arrows of the Elf Knights are simply their nemesis!
Chameleon Lurkers are not very strong, and tracking arrows can easily pose a fatal threat to them. This wave of accidents cost them a lot of casualties.
This is also the main reason why Thoros commanded the Velociraptor Cavalry to pursue them even after Drogo and Silk had successfully broken through.
After paying such a price, he was really unwilling to let the other party escape.
But Drogo and the others were able to run so far despite being hit by the lizardman lurker's blow darts and poisoned by neurotoxins. This was somewhat beyond his expectation.
There is no need to elaborate on what happened later because he was rescued by the opposite centaur when he arrived near the territory of the centaur.
After returning to his own territory, the first thing Thoros did was to rush to the temple and apologize to the high priest.
The reconnaissance force on the opposite side was rescued by the Centaur clan. Judging from the current situation, the task assigned to him by the high priest will definitely not be completed.
In the temple, looking at Thoros kneeling below, the high priest fell into a brief silence.
Soros actually failed? This was something he didn't expect.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
After receiving permission, Soros no longer hesitated and told the high priest the entire situation very simply.
After listening to the whole process, the high priest fell into a deeper silence, because he found that this pot really could not be regarded as Soros's.
In fact, Soros has done a good job. In a limited time, he not only discovered the hiding place of the opponent, but also forced the opponent to a dead end.
Even if it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to do any better.
But what happened later was obviously beyond their control.
Then the appearance of the centaur on the opposite side forced Soros to choose to stop. This was undoubtedly the right decision.
At this moment, the group of rats in the south are their biggest enemies. In this case, if they start a war with the group of centaurs in the north, the situation will become very bad for them. .
Soros was right to choose to retreat. There are also centaurs on the opposite continent. They know that the centaurs on both sides are not in the same group, but they are of the same race after all. Now they are chasing them to help and save each other. It is difficult to protect the centaurs here. Centaur won't do anything after that.
Thinking of this, the high priest spoke in a deep voice...
"Soros, during this period, you will continue to sit at the edge of the world, pay attention to the movements over there, and also keep an eye on the half of the north. People and horses, just in case.”
The high priest directly began to give the follow-up instructions without mentioning punishment.
Soros knew that this matter was a turning point. Of course, he would not be out of his mind and take the initiative to bring up this matter.
"Yes!"
After a response, he retreated neatly.
Looking at Thoros’s leaving figure, the high priest had a headache.
This matter is obviously out of control. The war with the group of rats in the south has reached a stalemate, and neither of them can do anything about the other.
At this time, the appearance of the centaur made him discover the existence of the new world.
In order to seek a breakthrough point, the high priest chose to open up a new world to see if he could gain anything.
Now it seems that he made the wrong decision?
Originally, according to his idea, after capturing the reconnaissance force on the opposite side, he would let Soros return to the frontline battlefield.
After all, leaving Soros here is somewhat overkill.
But now the situation has changed. With the enemies of the new world and the group of centaurs in the north that may pose a threat to them in the future, the high priest feels that there needs to be a reliable subordinate here. , Soros has undoubtedly become the best choice.
Soros himself is definitely not interested in this arrangement.
But having just messed up the matter, he naturally didn't have the guts to offer any advice, so he agreed honestly.
At the same time, here in the Centaur Village...
No matter how simple this village is, the environment cannot be worse than the wild. After sleeping in the open air for a period of time, in the Centaur Village This night, Hilke and the others slept relatively comfortably.
Early the next morning, the leading centaur came over again, and happened to bump into Silk and Drogo who were making fire to warm the pie.
Seeing the flatbread that began to gradually release its aroma after being properly heated, the centaur leader secreted saliva in his mouth, but he was actually more confused.
Seeing this, he asked directly...
"What are you doing?"
"Scones."
Hilk's expression was subtle , although he felt that the other party's question was a bit stupid, but considering their situation, he still answered it out of politeness.
However, this answer made the centaur leader even more confused.
“I know you are making pancakes, I mean why are you making pancakes at this time?”
“Have breakfast!”
“…”
