Chapter 613: Half horse army

Chapter 613: Half horse army

Outside of the Dragon Region, it was all leveling areas that were between level 100-130. They were basically places that I wouldn’t choose to head to. I rode the horse towards the northwest, passing through streams and hills. Around half an hour later, a red marked zone was on the map, it was the centaur territory.

“Shua!”

I rode across and right when I entered, I waved and entered White Cloak state. Both horse and I disappeared. White cloak’s priority level was quite high so if the boss wasn’t strong enough or close by, they won’t be able to spot me.

I followed the valley forwards and after five minutes, it opened up and it was a grass plains. After 2 more minutes, I heard the sound of horse hooves. I stopped the horse and hid behind a tree.

“Peng peng peng--”

From afar, a bunch of tall cavalries rode their horses over. There were around a hundred of them. When they got close, I realised they weren’t cavalries but centaurs covered in armor. They were all really muscular and were 4 meters tall. The horses were much bigger than human horses and they also had armor on them.

“Scoff!”

A centaur sniffed, “I smell humans… Are they from Beihuang Province?”

“Impossible!”

Another centaur shook his head, “Beihuang Province is a thousand miles from here. Moreover, since that battle, the head of the province was terrified and they hid in their cities. Why would they dare to challenge our iron army?”

“That is true!”

The Centaur general frowned, “Then there is only one explanation that foreign spell came from the east, scoff… Are those annoying skeletons from Black Castle asking for it, they want us to rip their bones apart?”

“Sir, there is something you don’t know.”

The deputy general said solemnly, “After a battle half a month ago, Black Castle does not exist. The elites of the Dimension Legion Army attacked. King of Darkness Xuanyuan Yu and Right General Bai Jian died. The mountains of Black Castle were trampled. If the Source White Dragon underground didn’t wake up, Black Castle would have been turned to ruins.”

He said suspiciously, “To our east isn’t Black Castle but a newly risen Dragon Region. The authorities have given instructions for us not to offend them. Any army is prohibited from entering their land. Unless they invade us, we can’t fight them!”

“Oh?”

The centaur general said, “Our considerations are right, they are fearing not the Dragon Region but the Source White Dragon. I heard that he was one of the ancient pioneers, the ancestor of all things. He easily defeated a Dimension Legion Lord. Our Centaur Race… Unless we have no choice, there is no need to offend them. But, if they are bullying us, then we mustn't hold back and fight to the death with them!”

“Right!”

“Go, go scout out that place!”

“Yes Sir!”

……

From far away, a centaur army rode across. They were too quick. The human half and the horse half were perfectly coordinated to ensure their momentum. Their speed was twice human cavalries. Moreover, this was just a patrolling squad. I understood how dangerous this mission was now. If I got picked up by them, it would be a huge headache.

Once they were long gone, I continued on the path that was covered by huge trees.

Around half an hour later, the sky was red and the ground was covered in a fiery red color. These were trees with red leaves but they weren’t maple leaves. Even the bark was dyed deep red, the entire valley was red in color.

Here I was, Blistering Dawn Valley!

I sucked in a deep breath and got out of mount state. The mount state had many restrictions and wasn’t suitable for Assassins to fight. Firstly, turning was a huge factor. Everyone knew that it was tough to turn on a horse and one had to at least make a huge circle. An assassin had to be nimble so it was not wise to fight on a horse. Secondly, skill usage. Under Mount state, it meant that I made use of the essence merge to use the mount skill, as such, I couldn’t use the other paladin skills.

So, mount skill was used by me just to travel, it was not good for fighting unless I met a real army. With the charging state, it was worth a try.

“Sha sha---”

I was still in White Cloak state and jumped into the valley. However, the mark that Zhang Xiaoshan planted didn’t move at all. This meant that the Sword Ocean was still very far away.

Thus, I held my dagger and continued to move in the forest. I searched the giant map.

……

Ten minutes later.

“Peng peng peng---”

Horse hoove sounds could be heard in the nearby forest followed by a sharp eagle screech. 20 meters away, a centaur army gathered. The one at the front was in golden armor and he held a blade. He raised his hand and the eagle landed on his wrist.

“En?”

He frowned, “My eagle picked up a scent! Damn who actually tried to enter the Blistering Dawn Valley. Scoff, the Sword Ocean phenomenon instantiated. This is the best chance for her highness to cultivate. If the person entered, she might be in danger and her cultivation might be affected. We will all get punished for that!”

“Don’t worry general!” c.218b95

A centaur bowed, “we have patrolled many times. Apart from centaurs, there isn’t anyone else. Maybe a hunter came over and the eagle picked up his scent.”

“Understood.”

The general who was in golden armor and head had the words Royal Army General Kalu, “Even then, we need to be prepared. Send more people. 50 thousand elite soldiers and defend the valley. Apart from that, choose the 5 thousand strongest to follow her highness!”

“Yes, understood!”

“Scoff!”

Royal Army General’s gaze was cold and he looked around, “Remember, Princess Pei Lin’s identity is noble and his majesty dotes on her a lot. She might even become our queen. As the princess, her safety is most important. This time, even if Royal Army’s brothers die, we can’t let anything happen to her. If not, we will all be in trouble. The military won’t let us off!”

“Yes general, I understand!”

The generals raised their blades, “Brothers, be on watch. Spread out and place members around the valley to ensure that her highness is safe!”

“Yes!”

……

Everyone spread out. I looked at them from nearby and my heart beat really quickly. Their lowest level was 140 and that general was a level 140 Chaotic Grade Boss. It was tough for me to solo him. This bunch of boss and quasi boss brothers. If I offended them, it was impossible for me to leave. If they see through White Cloak, I would die here. My movement speed might not be as fast as theirs. After all, Thousand Mile Bright Moon Foal was just a level 80 mount!

But, from eavesdropping, I understood something.

The centaur tribe went against the humans, dimension legions, elves and barbarians for many years. They had a complete social structure, they had a queen and a king. They also formed their own army and learned how to defend them with palaces and Royal Armies.

The centaur tripe was a really strong empire and not like barbarians in the past. If one underestimate them, one would suffer a huge loss.

Moroever, I came at a right time. Their princess was going to cultivate here? She was also here for the sword ocean so that was a problem. Facing such a strong Royal Army, could I get the Sword Ocean from them? Moreover, the princess should be strong.

Things became really serious!

……

At that moment, a red mouse charged at my butt and knocked me out of stealth. I turned around and it was a huge rat covered in red marks!

“Damn, there is someone!”

A centaur followed behind, “Flame Rat picked up his scent, come here…”

He was about to shout!

“Peng!”

Dark Shadow Jump+Gouge!

Shut up!
