Chapter 315: The Styx Boatman, the Centaur’s Surrender
The sky is filled with snow on a cold night, the baggage train is caught in a raging fire, and the Frostwolf Cavalry shouts to kill Zhentian!
Di Rong saw the Duke of Honeysuckle leading a strange army, and the divine soldiers descended from the Silver Crown Peak, defeating his own morale in one fell swoop.
Besides the fear and shock in my heart, I couldn't help but feel a bit of sadness.
Only duel can there be a chance of survival!
The tall and burly centaur roared angrily, and the long-handled battle ax in his hand rolled up a terrifying phantom of the undead. Endless ghost cavalry seemed to appear behind him, charging together with Dijon Thunderhoof!
The breath of death surges crazily in the realm of creation, cold, fearful, and suffocating!
What the Centaur Dirong is calling for is the power from the underworld!
Yeats had heard that Emperor Rong's ancestor was named "Charon". He was a centaur wise man who trained a large number of heroes in the world and became a boatman on the Styx after his death.
Obviously, Di Rong prayed for the blessing of the spirits of his ancestors, and the dead and ghosts echoed from the underworld!
Yeats' eyes were slightly stern, and he did not dare to be careless.
The trident of the Blood King Spear in his hand was surging with scarlet fighting flames. The other hand was holding the Medusa Shield with amazing defensive power. He held up the big shield with a 'clang' sound and blocked the The invincible iron hoof of death is right ahead!
Sensing the majestic murderous intent, the Frostwolf Cavalry unexpectedly cast its gaze at the two parties dueling in the center of the battlefield.
The Duke has given a death order. No one is allowed to interfere with this duel between knights.
However, the Frostwolf Cavalry all showed solemn expressions, feeling deeply worried for Yeats before this terrifying undead charge!
"You can't stop it!"
The roaring voice of the Centaur Emperor came from under the helmet, like a wail from hell, which was horrifying.
At the same moment, he raised his front hooves high and trampled on them. At the same time, the plate armor on his body was wrapped with black thunder and lightning. The dark halberd was like a thunderous thunder. With the unstoppable charge, it fell heavily!
Cang!
Yeats was knocked back a few meters by the terrifying force. He felt that his whole body and bones were being hit by a siege hammer, but his feet were dug into the snow like steel bars, and he "squeaked" towards the ground. Move two traces behind.
Gradually adapting to the numbness of his left hand holding the shield, the corner of his mouth curled up coldly, Yeats said:
"Not bad, come again!"
The centaur stopped its momentum and stared through the gap in the helmet. The young knight who remained motionless felt a hint of shock in his heart.
He actually blocked the charge?
Is it because of the protective magic, or is it because of his unique buckler?
Human beings really blocked my iron hoof. This is simply unbelievable!
Centaur Dirong hesitated for a moment.
And those wailing resentful souls are still rushing towards Yeats crazily!
The red light of the blood flames spit in the snow, the broken wreckage burned in the sea of fire, the Blood King's spear and the dead cavalry burst out sparks like metal collisions, causing a thunderous sound!
Boom!
Whether it was the despairing centaur tribesmen or the high-spirited Frostwolf cavalry, everyone's eyes were focused on Yeats. They saw that his spear was like fire, rolling up surging blood flames and covering the ghosts. The undead strangled into black mist.
Everyone looked shocked, feeling strongly shocked in front of this overwhelming strength!
The number of dead souls gradually decreased, and Di Rong rushed forward, slashing with violent battle axes. His momentum was not inferior, but his heart was full of bitterness.
Can’t win.
This human being is as deep as an abyss, and it is impossible to tell how much strength he still hides!
"It's almost time," said Yeats.
Centaur Dirong's pupils shrank, but he saw a dazzling sword light suddenly light up in Yeats' hand!
On this battlefield, it seems like a blazing sun has risen, and the dazzling light that cannot be looked directly at drives away all the darkness, ghosts and wails! A brilliant halo of light spread out in all directions to the west, and all the aura of death disappeared under this dazzling light! !
Thor's flash! !
This large-scale spell was even used by Yeats’s men for the first time when they saw the Duke perform it, and they were astonished.
The Frostwind Witch stood on the high cliff and saw this bright flash, her fur cloak swaying in the wind, and her ice-blue face was moved by it.
"The inheritance of the God of the Fierce Sun...how many secrets are hidden in Yeats!"
The God of the Sun has the ability to restrain the aura of death.
Facing this superior-like suppression, the centaur stood sluggishly.
His helmet was already full of cracks, and it cracked with a 'click', revealing a pair of lifeless pupils.
The strong light caused the centaur's blindness, and dry tears rolled down his face. He said hoarsely:
"Is this... a legendary spell?"
"Your eyesight Not bad." Yeats nodded.
The centaur was heartbroken.
As a centaur knight with both magic and martial arts skills, he knows very well what legendary spells mean. Even among the six-ring masters, there are only a few who master legendary spells.
At this moment, the legendary spell became the last straw that overwhelmed Di Rong's psychological defense!
Yeats said: "Now, surrender to me!"
Boom!
The centaur seemed to have been drained of all its strength, its limbs were bent weakly, and it knelt on the ground slumped. The halberd in its hand fell with a clang.
"I... am not your opponent."
Di Rong's voice was full of bitterness and sadness.
"I am willing to surrender, just to let my people... have a way to survive!"
In the tribe, the strong are respected.
Facing the overwhelming power displayed by Yeats, the snow fell into a dead silence.
The centaur people are despairing, their faces are pale, and their already collapsed morale has turned into complete despair!
Yeats's eyes were deep, thinking about how to deal with these centaur captives.
Going deep alone, it is best for these prisoners not to leave any trouble, but there are still many viable forces in the centaur tribe. Compared with the stubborn orcs, the centaurs are actually a force that can be fought for.
Di Rong's psychological defense has been defeated. Now is the time to use him as a chess piece, but how to ensure his loyalty is another problem...
Yeats thought quietly, and there was a dead silence. In the battlefield, the wind and snow roared, and the sea of fire burned.
The clan leader begged for mercy from humans. The clansmen witnessed this scene, but they were helpless.
Who would have thought that humans would climb over the Silver Crown Peak and suddenly emerge from that steep mountain!
As early as the Honeysuckle Duke reached all the way into the hinterland without being discovered, the fate of the coalition's failure was already doomed!
At this time.
A black shadow appeared in front of Centaur Dirong.
Yeats was startled, and found that Di Rong had a shocked look on his face, as if he had heard something, and murmured in disbelief:
"No... Ancestor... you don't have to be like this!"
The black shadow faced Yeats.
Yeats couldn't see his face clearly. He could only see a cloak made of black mist. Under the face covered by the cloak, there was only gray mist.
"Who is your Excellency?" Yeats asked cautiously.
The shadow seemed to have said something, but Yeats could not understand his meaning at all.
With a thought, Yeats summoned the headless horseman Kelya, who had not appeared for a long time, and asked her to communicate with the shadow.
The undead have a unique way of communicating with each other.
Kelya is also an undead in nature. After communicating with the black cloak for a moment, she translated to Yeats:
"He said, please be a bit generous."
"And in the future, if you or your friends come to the underworld, he will also be accommodating to you."
Yeats was stunned, wondering where this old guy could have such a big name? Could it be that the ancestor of the centaur appeared?
“Who is he?”
Kelya conveyed Yeats’s question, and after a moment, replied:
“He calls himself Styx Boatman, and his name is Ka Rong, I have met you once."
Yeats's face remained normal, but his heart was filled with turmoil. Stygian boatman? It’s really the centaur’s ancestral spirit!
But He said he had met me once. What was going on?
I went to the underworld with Daisy before, it must have been a dream!
If the boatman of the Styx River had seen me before, wouldn't it mean that I wasn't dreaming at all at that time...did I really go to the underworld? !
Yeats was shocked in his heart. The scene of Daisy having fun appeared in his mind, and he felt complicated.
Bad woman, she deliberately made me think it was a dream, but actually she really took me around in the underworld!
If I couldn’t come back then, wouldn’t I really have become an undead? !
Yeats suppressed the alarm in his heart and said expressionlessly:
“I can let him go, but if he continues to join forces with the orcs to invade my territory, what will happen to this account? Count?”
Kelya is responsible for the translation.
The black cloak seemed to have a few words with the centaur Emperor Rong.
Di Rong's face was full of awe, and the centaur people nearby also showed pious expressions.
"Ancestor, don't worry, I understand what to do..."
Di Rong stood up, came to Yeats, knelt down with his front hooves, lowered his head, and Voice:
"Zun Dear Duke Honeysuckle, I deeply apologize for the offense I and my people have caused you... I am willing to swear allegiance to you. If I break my oath, I will suffer the backlash of the soul mark, and my soul will never be reincarnated!"
Swearing with your soul carries considerable weight in this world.
[Soul Brand] is a contract spell of the death genre. It has master and slave, but it also guarantees the independence of the slave. Only after the subordinate breaks the oath will he suffer backlash.
Yeats glanced at the black cloak and thought to himself:
"After the death of Emperor Rong, the centaur tribe will definitely fall into chaos. Rather than letting a centaur with an unknown position take the throne, it is better to let The emperor went back... The centaurs value their ancestors very much, and they dare not break the oath they made in front of their ancestors..."
"On the other hand, I will inevitably have to deal with the Styx boatman in the future. Letting go of his descendants is tantamount to selling him a favor, which will come in handy sooner or later..."
Yeats and Charon reached an agreement, and Charon served as the notary of the [Soul Mark] contract. To be cautious, Yeats asked Kelya to sign the contract.
Although the effect is the same, if Charon tampers with the contract, it will be easier to crack because Kelya is an undead body.
"Feitan, Drill Tooth, you two have a look at the content of the contract to see if there is anything wrong with it."
Yeats asked two extraordinary beings with a combined age of several thousand years to judge the content of the contract. , the principle is similar to asking a professional to review it before signing a contract.
“No problem.” Zuo Tooth said carelessly, “I know Charon. He is a good old Centaur who also cares about future generations. You will not suffer any loss if you cooperate with him!”
Yeats complained: "How come you know everyone?"
Dian Ya's eyes widened, imitating Yeats's tone, and said:
"To go out to hang out, you must have strength and strength. There is a background!”
Yeats: “…”
It is indeed an ancient mythical beast from the same era as the Mad God. In addition to making fire, it can also be cute!
The contract is completed.
Di Rong and the Centaur people were obviously relieved.
"Thank you for your kindness, Duke Honeysuckle..." Di Rong's expression was a little complicated, "In short, I will no longer participate in anything related to Greem... Now, I will lead my "My people, please return to my territory."
"Your mercy today, in the future, if there is a need for our service, please let us go!" Di Rong said.
Yeats nodded slightly, remembered something, and asked Di Rong: "Do you know who taught Greem witchcraft?"
Di Rong looked ashamed: "Although I have known each other for many years, Greem kept secret about witchcraft... I only know that he once obtained the Thunder Warhammer in an overseas ruins. Since then, he has His temperament changed drastically, and he was even more irritable than usual. "Overseas ruins?" Yeats thought, "But in the Luanjiao Islands?"
"I don't remember clearly, but I want to come." It's in the ice sea. "
The Chaos Reef Islands were once the sphere of influence of the Snake Man Empire. Yeats's Medusa Shield was accidentally obtained from the islands on the edge of the archipelago.
Thinking about it this way, there is probably a snake wizard behind Greem.
At this time, the adjutant came forward to report that the orcs' baggage team had been completely wiped out.
Combined with Di Rong’s intelligence, Yeats speculated that the orcs would run out of food in less than two days.
At that time, the entire orc army will fall into chaos!
Di Rong was once again moved and deeply awed by Yeats's calm judgment and amazing execution.
Even if they knew the advance route of the orc food transport team, there were probably only a few commanders who dared to personally lead their troops across the dangerous mountains to launch a surprise attack!
"Sir, my ancestors seem to value the knights under your command very much..."
Di Rong glanced back, and Yeats followed his line of sight, only to see Kelya talking with the black cloak.
"Please rest assured, our ancestor is a knowledgeable and wise man. He has taught many heroes and even demigods." Di Rong said, "He should be happy to see Xun Xin and want to pass on the knowledge. To your knight!”
As expected, Kelya came back to ask Yeats for advice, saying that Charon would teach her a blessing.
Charon is known as a good teacher. He will always take the initiative to teach students he likes.
Yeats was not surprised and asked:
"What blessing?"
"Iron hoofs of death." Kelya said, "You can summon ghost cavalry and launch a charge."
Yeats was shocked.
Wait a minute, isn’t this the ultimate move Di Rong used just now?
The headless horseman combined with the ghost cavalry regiment is quite graphic!
Unexpectedly, this surprise attack actually led to Kelya's "version update". Yeats was very surprised and asked Kelya to accept the blessing from Charon.
Kelya is bathed in the aura of death. She was originally the peak of the three rings. At this moment, she successfully breaks through and becomes a four-ring knight who follows the path of death!
The black cloak nodded, seeming to appreciate Kelya's talent, and then gradually dissipated in the awed gazes of Di Rong and the people.
Yeats was also preparing to set off and asked the Frostwolf Cavalry to let the centaurs pass. He stared at the retreating figure of Emperor Rong and murmured to himself:
"There are four major tribes in the Beijun Kingdom. Originally, Greem planned to invite the other three tribes to join the expedition. Now the three tribes are all our friendly forces..."
Everyone is a traitor!
Yeats shook his head slightly, turned over and mounted the snow leopard, looked back at his soldiers, and saw sincere enthusiasm and awe on the faces of each cavalryman.
Witnessing the Duke easily defeating the Centaur chief in a duel, and even making the arrogant Centaur bow his head, the morale of the Frostwolf Cavalry was greatly boosted!
The Frostwind Witch's impression of Yeats quietly changed. The young man in her eyes had become a commander in charge of his own affairs, and she asked softly:
"What's the next plan?"
"Food is exhausted, and within three days, the orc army will be in chaos."
In the dark night, the firelight illuminated Yeats's resolute profile, confident. Said:
“We turned back along the main road and took Greem’s back road... Soon, we will have a celebration banquet!”
