Chapter 412 A Delicate Balance
They must admit that they don’t know much about the situation on this continent.
The only information I had before was that there were lizardmen here, and there might be centaurs, because when Drogo and the others came over before, they found some traces of centaurs.
But unfortunately, they ran in the wrong direction, which resulted in them not meeting the ethnic group here at all.
In fact, if they had met at that time, what happened later would probably be completely different.
Getting back to the topic, when their king was analyzing the situation, he mentioned that the lizardmen suddenly stopped invading, probably because they also had troubles here that could not be ignored.
So after realizing that they were not easy to solve, we chose to suspend the offensive.
Under this premise, although they had not known about the existence of the rat men before, they were not that surprised.
In the simple conversation just now, Silk, who was basically on the sidelines, had already made some guesses about the role of the Centaurs in this world.
While thoughts were racing, Silke finally spoke up...
"Chief Tar, I want to confirm here, what role do you play here?"
"..."
Silke's words , the question was relatively tactful.
But when faced with this problem, Tal still found it a little difficult to speak, or in other words, he didn't know how to speak.
Finally, I made up my mind and spoke.
"The two biggest forces here are the lizards and the rat-men. They are mortal enemies and equally matched in strength. Fights often break out, but in the end, neither one can destroy the other..."
Under Tal's narration, Hilke and the others' understanding of the situation here quickly became clear.
From the perspective of the Centaur clan, as a force, the Centaur clan headed by Chief Tarr is of course a force that cannot be ignored.
But despite their tough attitude when facing the lizardmen before, in fact, in a one-on-one situation, they really don't have the strength to compete head-on with the lizardmen.
The biggest reason why they dare to be so tough in the face of the lizard people is because they know that the lizard people and the rat people have always been at war.
If the lizardmen dare to provoke them, they will directly cooperate with the ratmen and launch an offensive on the other side of the border from the lizardmen. When the time comes, the lizardmen will be attacked from both sides by them and the ratmen, and they will most likely be destroyed.
But Tarr obviously also knows that the rat people are not a good thing. If he really helps the rat people to destroy the lizard people, then the next person the rat people will destroy is their centaur clan.
So the Centaur clan headed by Tarr has not taken any practical actions.
Instead, they adopted the attitude of ‘Don’t mess with us, we won’t bother to care about you’.
Under this premise, the lizard people are also wise, and they have always avoided them whenever possible.
During this period, from the perspective of the lizard people, the centaurs were undoubtedly a thorny problem.
It is not that the high priest has not thought about whether he should find an opportunity to have a truce with the rat people and destroy the centaurs to eliminate this hidden danger.
But this is obviously not that easy to do.
Because the rat people also know the existence of the centaurs, they can contain them to a certain extent.
So if the Lizard Man takes action, the Rat Man will definitely take action as well.
Under this premise, although the centaur clan lacks the strength to compete head-on with the lizard people, they are not a weak persimmon. If they can't hit them head-on, the worst they can do is run away.
The Lizardmen will definitely not be able to stop them by then, and they will only leave endless hidden dangers in the end.
In this way, the three parties in the world restrain each other, thus forming a very subtle check and balance situation.
This difficult situation left Silk at a loss as to what to say.
The people who are currently in direct conflict with them, the Great Zhou, are the lizard people, and the people who have a hatred of genocide against their prairie elves are also the lizard people.
But if they launch an offensive and destroy the lizardmen, they will have to face the ratmen on the other side.
In other words, there is a high probability that they will have to face two battles one after another.
Can they handle a battle like this two times in a row? This is a problem.
“The situation here is indeed more complicated. We cannot make decisions on our own. We must report the matter to the king and let the king make a decision.”
Hearing this, Drogo nodded in agreement.
Their main mission is to come here to investigate the situation. Things like this are really not something they can decide on their own.
“However, I don’t think there is a problem with the joint proposal Drogo mentioned before. Is the Tar clan chief willing to join forces with our great Zhou?”
While speaking, Silk once again posed this question to the other party.
“No matter whether we want to go to war with the lizard people or not, there is always no harm in your centaur clan joining forces with us, the Great Zhou, to increase our strength.”
"..."
The five centaurs headed by Drogo were unwilling to stay because of this 'Great Zhou', which made Tarr somewhat unhappy with this 'Great Zhou' whom he had never met before. .
But he couldn't deny what Silk said. It was really reasonable and well-founded, leaving him unable to refute.
In the final analysis, you are still the leader of the clan, and everything is focused on the clan.
He would not refuse something that was beneficial to the entire ethnic group just because of this 'unpleasantness'.
The most important thing is that by agreeing to join forces, they will have nothing to lose anyway.
While Tal was thinking about this, Silk spoke again.
"If Chief Taal is worried, you can select a few representatives from the tribe to go back with us and discuss with our king."
As for the situation here, we have already Silk and the others, who had almost understood it, obviously had no intention of staying here any longer. It was better to quickly find the opportunity to return to their own world when the energy channel opened before their dry food was completely exhausted.
To this, Tal did not rush to answer, but thought about it by himself.
[Then what is the situation of 'Dazhou'? I don't know at all. Even if I verbally agree to join forces with them, no matter what they do or do nothing at that time, I will not lose anything. But to confirm, it is definitely More secure. 】
[The most important thing is that we don’t know how long the situation of the lizard people and the rat people will last. We can’t tie the survival of the group entirely to the victory or defeat of the lizard people and the rat people. This means Maybe it's an opportunity. 】
Thinking of this, Tal nodded.
"Okay, I agree to this. Later I will choose a few tribesmen to represent our Centaur tribe and go with you to meet the king!"
