Tauren Overlord

"You know this simple truth, and I know it too. How could the Empire and the Kingdom of Volachia not know it?"

"Whether it's a demon or a vampire, they all know how helpless you are."

"Even if they use you as materials to create magnetic horned demons or consumables to create undead, no force will save you."

"Unless..." Lu Heng looked at the countless goblins under his feet with an extremely kind look, "I will give you some help."

The goblins have always thought that they are not stupid. As for why they did such a stupid thing just now, they just thought that their minds were disturbed by the Emperor of the Empire.

Their little heads seemed to wake up, and they soon realized that they were no match for either the Empire or the Kingdom of Volachia.

These goblins also have no way to guarantee that they will receive any fair treatment in this new "Anti-Sea Alliance".

When facing death, the only lifeline these goblins can grasp is to look for places outside the Sea Alliance and the Empire.

They soon came to the conclusion that if they still had somewhere to escape to, the sparsely populated New City Republic might be the only place to survive.

These goblins never believe that there is any kindness in the world without reason.

In their opinion, if the Tauren Overlord was willing to give them a way out, it would definitely cost them a huge price.

But goblins have always believed that "a good death is worse than a miserable life", even if there is a price to pay, it is better to live.

They immediately pleaded with Lu Heng:

"Please help us! Wise Tauren Lord! We will definitely become your most intelligent partners!"

"We are not born stupid. We were just influenced by the evil magic of the Emperor of the Empire, so we did something so stupid!"

"Mighty and majestic Minotaur! As long as you can keep us alive, you can let us join the New City Republic!"

They even rolled up in place:

"Mnotauren Lord! Let me serve you. I can be the most docile citizen of the New City Republic!"

"No! Great big bull-headed man, you should accept my loyalty first!"

"In this world full of deception and cruelty, you are my only salvation!"

"Great Minotaur! Please protect me! Even if you want me to be your slave!"

Of course Lu Heng didn't trust the goblins' words, but being able to plant a nail inside the enemy was always better than fighting head-on.

Especially when the enemy is strong and we are weak, Lu Heng's struggle with the Imperial Emperor is likely to be a long process.

At this time, it is even more necessary to unite all the forces that can be united.

So Lu Heng actually pointed out a way out for these goblins:

"I can suggest a simple but effective strategy for you."

"You will soon see that many young Centaurs will charge towards you."

"The more seriously you fight them, the greater your losses will be, and the easier it will be for the Empire and the Kingdom of Volachia to devour you."

"So you should conserve your strength and don't take the fight so seriously."

"This way, when your new 'friends' try to eliminate you, they will have to think twice before deciding whether it will cost too much."

"Your biggest goal right now is to do everything you can to survive first!"

"When the real opportunity comes, I will naturally remind you and let you escape from the clutches of the empire and the vampires."

Lu Heng never thought that he had too many friends. Now that he had gained the friendship of the centaurs, he certainly did not want his allies to fight with the goblins until only the old, weak and sick were left.

Of course, we must help the goblins who may cause trouble "inside" the enemy in the future to survive. After all, backstab is the goblins' forte.

As the illusion faded, the goblins saw the centaurs charging towards them.

However, after the goblin regained his consciousness, he quickly realized that what the Tauren Overlord said made sense.

Sacrificing for the Sea Alliance is a sacrifice, but sacrificing for the Divine Emperor, isn’t that also a sacrifice?

They were not willing to work for the empire and the vampires, but instead tried their best to cling to Lu Heng as a lifeline.

The goblins also figured it out. The reason the Empire invaded the Sea Alliance was not to pay tribute to the Sea People.

They originally came here to plunder the property of the sea people, including the goblins, so naturally they couldn't treat the goblins very well.

The day when the other sea people are destroyed is the day when these goblins will be destroyed by the empire.

No, you don’t even have to wait until all the other people in the sea are killed.

As long as the Empire or the Necromancers think they have won, they will be gone.

So they all understood the clear path that Lu Heng pointed out to them. What's the point of fighting? Run away quickly!

The goblin chariots quickly changed direction, and the goblin infantry also abandoned their trebuchet positions and quickly hid in the bushes.

Their short stature actually became an advantage at this time, allowing them to dodge the Centaurs' javelins and arrows better and faster.

Anyway, after the centaurs run away, the catapults will still be theirs and will not be taken away by the centaurs.

At the same time, the young and middle-aged women who opened up another lifeline for their compatriots gradually discovered the goblins' cowardice.

They undoubtedly hated the goblins who betrayed them, but they just wanted their families to survive, not die for the sake of death.

Since the goblins were so cowardly, the new Khan did not choose to pursue them endlessly.

After she made sure that the goblins would not interfere with her family's escape, she took the remaining centaur warriors and followed her family.

Unfortunately, the Centaur men who were still struggling to hold on against the joint attack of the Empire and the Undead Legion have fallen into a great disadvantage.

Most of them could not see their family members escape.

Surrounded, they were once again dragged into the illusion created by Lu Heng.

It was a huge and seemingly boundless Hall of Heroes. Lu Heng told them here:

"The new Khan has led his people to evacuate northwards. All your efforts have paid off. Now it's time for you to break out."

As the voice from the sky gradually faded away, the Centaur warriors who had not yet died in the battle all had expressions mixed with joy and pain.

The joy was that his wife, children and the elderly had escaped the most dangerous stage, but the subsequent breakout was not easy at all.

At this time, an old Centaur warrior who had lost both legs and his left arm struggled to send his final encouragement to his comrades around him:

"Warriors, I have finished my battle. You shall live on for me. May more glory belong to you!"

This is not an isolated case. There are also many encouragements and farewells between new and old soldiers, which also echo in the Warriors' Hall.

After the illusion disappeared, they communicated with each other and attacked towards the north in a more coordinated manner.

Even though the final casualties had exceeded half, they still maintained a high morale and actually tore open a gap with their absolutely inferior force.

The author says:

273. The Regret of the Golden Dragon Queen

While the Centaur warriors in the center of the battlefield were struggling to break out, Lu Heng was constantly adjusting his landing point vision.

He kept looking for other Centaur tribes rushing to the battlefield and used his illusion ability to explain the situation to them.

According to what Lu Heng found through his entry ability, there are approximately 15 Centaurs in the entire Galloping Horse Kingdom.

Of course, they couldn't all gather near the Khan's tent, as that would definitely lead to a shortage of food and water.

Therefore, the only ones gathered near the Khan's tent were the major ace tribes with a total population of about 3 Centaurs.

The remaining 12 Centaurs were mostly scattered across various regions of the Kingdom of Galloping Horses.

Unfortunately, the 1 most elite Centaurs suffered heavy losses in this encounter, and only about 15% of them managed to escape.

Although the remaining Centaurs are more numerous, it is difficult for them to have such high fighting will and combat skills.

When it comes to judging fighter opportunities, the non-elite Centaur tribes are even worse.

They did not add fuel to the fire until the centaur leaders near the Khan began to call for help.

This was not because they were unprepared. In fact, the Centaurs had deployed scouts in various places to provide early warning.

But unfortunately, the Empire also knew that the Centaurs would make such a warning, so they sent out Marshal Selron who could teleport.

Selron could easily kill any Centaur scout who tried to give away information, causing the Galloping Horse Kingdom's warning system to become completely ineffective.

It was not until the Centaur Khan was attacked that the remaining Centaur leaders quickly asked for support from their own tribe and other member states of the Sea Alliance.

Lu Heng suspected that this was also planned by the Empire. The reason why they concentrated their attack on the elite Centaurs near the Khan's tent was to lure reinforcements.

This way they can open their pockets and wait for other Centaur tribes to come and give them gifts.

If Lu Heng did not interfere, the remaining Centaur tribes that came after hearing the news would basically be defeated one by one by the Empire and the Kingdom of Volachia.

However, allowing these centaurs to become combat materials for the empire or the undead army would do Lu Heng no good at all.

So Lu Heng unfolded illusions one after another to let the other 12 Centaurs know the latest battle situation so that they could escape the clutches of the Empire and vampires.

In addition to his previous good deeds, Lu Heng undoubtedly gained the friendship of 14 Centaurs, so he can be considered to have "friends" within the Sea Alliance.

And this friendship is probably more reliable than his relationship with the goblins.

……

On the battlefield, Black Knight Tamika and Bone Dragon Sandro stopped chasing.

They have already destroyed the most elite forces of the Galloping Horse Kingdom, and the results of the battle are already rich enough.

If we continue chasing them, the formation might fall apart, which would be a waste of time and effort.

"Your first battle as a traitor went better than expected, old friend."

Tamika seemed to be making fun of herself, but also seemed to be talking to her old friend Sandro.

Tamika's exclamation brought Sandro's memory back to that midnight three days ago.

At that time, the Skeleton Sword Saint Gadlan, the Lame Zombie Skqiang and the two of them were summoned back to the Kingdom of Volachia by the Vampire King Degal.

What Degar has to say is also quite straightforward:

"Count Shant seems to still have unrealistic expectations for the Sea Alliance. I have already put him to death."

"If you wish, I will command you directly in the coming days and nights..."

Sword Saint Gardran seemed to have no opinion on the kingdom's change of direction. He said calmly:

"I just focus on my swordsmanship. I don't care who I kill."

Whether he was a real sword fanatic or was able to judge the situation, he passed Degar's test.

Zombie Skeqiang was different. He thought for a moment and finally spoke frankly:

"The Sea Alliance is almost an alliance of the living. Even so, they still miraculously accepted us."

"This acceptance is particularly hard-won given that their leaders have a veto power."

"In the end, the Sea Alliance was still betrayed by us. Which camp of the living will accept us in the future?"

Then Brother Qiang was nailed into the coffin.

Degal was not angry at the zombie's stubbornness, and seemed to feel a little sorry:

"I didn't decide to be a traitor from the beginning. It was only because this alliance was too hopeless that I finally made this decision."

"But am I really doing the right thing? I don't know."

"Maybe he is right. After I die, maybe it will be a ghost like him who will step forward and clean up the mess for us."

Degal did not kill Shant and Qiang Ge, but just let them "rest" in the coffin first.

Tamika and Sandro were next. They looked at each other and said in unison:

"We support all the king's decisions!"

At least this way he wouldn't have to lie in a coffin first.

After all, when the time comes for the betrayal of the alliance to fail, can the ghost coming out of the coffin save the situation?
