Chapter 430: Breaking out
“Chase me!”
Unwilling to let them go, Soros almost roared and gave the order to kill them.
At first, the velociraptor cavalry could barely catch up with the centaurs by relying on the explosive power brought by the velociraptor's strong hind limbs.
But as the chase time prolonged, the endurance weakness of the dragon cavalry was quickly exposed, and the distance between the two sides was continuously widened by the centaurs.
During this period, although Thoros was able to send out pterosaur riders to pursue them from the air, they only had a handful of pterosaur riders in hand.
Excluding those sent to the front lines to fight against the Ratmen, there were originally two pterosaur riders on this plain.
As a result, one of them was taken to the opposite world by Gruul and died there.
For the lizard people, the loss of this pterosaur rider is even more than the entire Velociraptor Cavalry unit that was folded there.
At this stage, the value of the pterosaur rider is so great.
This also forced Thoros to be more cautious when commanding the only pterosaur rider here.
The pterosaur rider has excellent movement efficiency by virtue of its ability to fly regardless of terrain obstacles.
But his physical strength is not outstanding.
At this stage, the centaurs, who are aware of their situation, will definitely move continuously to ensure that they can completely escape their pursuit.
There is no doubt that in this chase battle that tests endurance, even if the pterosaur rider fights to the end, there is a high probability that he will not be able to beat the centaur.
More importantly, the centaur clan has now broken through the encirclement and escaped.
Since their speed dragon cavalry have no advantage at all in terms of mobility and endurance, if they want to destroy the centaurs, they must form an encirclement so that they have nowhere to escape after stalling. In the end, he was trapped and died inside!
Now that the centaur clan has broken out, the encirclement has been broken, and the dragon cavalry is pursuing them unilaterally. The possibility of keeping them is too low.
In the final analysis, if the Centaurs were so easy to destroy, they would have been destroyed long ago, and they would not have waited until now.
This time the centaur clan gathered on this plain, it should have been the best time to take action, but he undoubtedly missed it.
When he thought of this, Soros suddenly became irritable.
After a lot of swearing, he still rationally gave the order to gather the troops.
Because he knew that there would be no results if he continued to chase, and it would just be a waste of time and the physical condition of his troops.
At the same time, the centaurs who escaped from the trap were indeed running all the way, not daring to stop for a moment. They used all their physical strength to escape as far as they could in one breath.
Until that figure fell...
"Chief!!"
With a dull sound, Tal's body fell heavily to the ground, causing the surrounding tribesmen to exclaim.
This fall knocked Tal to pieces, causing him to lose consciousness for a time.
When he woke up, he had been moved to a hidden dense forest. Joseph, who was responsible for taking care of him, saw that he was awake and quickly called Diack over.
“Lord Diack, the patriarch is awake!”
Hearing the sound, Diak rushed over as quickly as possible.
The moment he saw Tal's current appearance, Diak's eyes darkened uncontrollably.
Tal, who saw this scene in his eyes, chuckled.
"I am really old. When I was young, I might not have to worry about this injury and I would be able to heal myself..."
In a hoarse and weak voice, Tal said jokingly. All he got was Diack's silence. Looking at Tal, who was covered in bruises and almost turned into a bloody man, Diack opened his mouth a few times, not knowing what to say.
That's not an injury that can be healed on its own without taking care of it.
In order to surround and kill them all on the plain, the lizard people were really cruel. The velociraptor cavalry were not afraid of death and killed them madly, which was not so easy to deal with.
In the process of constantly fighting to break through, they also suffered a lot of casualties.
And the patriarch Tal, who once led the charge, has become like this.
However, at this time, Tal seemed not to understand Diack's silence, and continued to speak with a smile...
"Speaking of which, this time it was really all thanks to the great king of Zhou. "If he hadn't reminded you to leave a small team outside just in case, according to the lizard people's formation at that time, our entire family would have died on that plain."
We were paralyzed there. Tal, his voice became softer and softer as he spoke. The poor medical conditions and far insufficient medical level made it impossible for Tal's injuries to be effectively treated at this time. After talking about it, Tal's pupils slowly began to become dilated. stand up.
"Didiak..."
"Chief, I am here!"
At this time, Diak knelt directly in front of Tal, holding the other person's blood-stained hand, and his nose felt a little sore.
A group like theirs is basically like a big family internally, and the patriarch is similar to the patriarch.
Among them, Diack's parents died early and he was basically raised by the patriarch, so his feelings for the patriarch who is like his father are stronger.
Looking at Diak who was about to cry, Tal still smiled, with a trace of kindness on his face that he had never seen before.
"Diak believes in himself, you have become better than me, people. Please..."
The rapid passage of life prevented Tal from finishing his last confession, but Diak already understood what the other party meant.
At that moment, I saw that he was still holding Tal's hand tightly with both hands, and then he lowered his head deeply and buried it in his arms.
His body was shaking slightly, and he wanted to cry loudly, but he forced himself to hold it back.
Because he knew that after Tal's death, he would be the new patriarch. At this juncture, for their Centaur clan, the death of the old patriarch was a heavy blow. As the new patriarch, You must be strong and shoulder the burden of leading an entire ethnic group to continue on!
After taking a deep breath and adjusting his emotions, Diack's eyes fell on Joseph beside him.
This irreverent kid, who seemed to be unable to calm down for a moment, fell into an unprecedented silence.
"How do I look now?"
Diak's voice was slightly hoarse, but it was not a big problem.
Faced with the question, Joseph dropped his gaze on Diak's face.
“I think it’s okay.”
Diak nodded after receiving this answer, and then walked outside.
When the tribesmen who were resting saw him coming out, they all cast their eyes on Diak. Although no one spoke, the meaning in their eyes was self-evident.
Feeling the gazes of the clansmen, Diak took a deep breath and spoke...
"The clan leader is dead. From today on, I am the new clan leader. We will never be like this. If you fall here, you will have to settle this debt with the lizard people sooner or later!"
