Chapter 231: Mount My Dear Centaur, My Guild Members, and I Will Save Them!
Chapter 231 Ride on my dear centaur~I will save my guild members!
"Even demigods can't escape?"
Su Xuan asked Lucia, "If you enter the forest birdcage, is there any way to leave?"
Lucia shook her head and replied: "I don't know much about this. I may need to ask the races that guard the forest."
Hearing this, Su Xuan's face was suddenly filled with gloom.
If it was true that the girl named Verola had hidden in the forest birdcage as Lucia said, then how should he rescue her?
But since the mission is for him to save the adventurer, there should be a way to get her out of the forest birdcage.
Su Xuan decided to go to the forest birdcage to check the situation first, and said to everyone: "Let's go to the forest birdcage to check the situation first, and then think of a solution."
"Um."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
…
Deep in the forest, a group of centaur warriors blocked the way of the human army.
"Human! It's forbidden to enter here!"
Standing at the front was a fit female centaur warrior. The spear in her hand made a harsh friction sound on the ground, her eyes firmly staring at the human army in front of her.
If Su Xuan were here, he would definitely recognize the identity of this female centaur warrior - Azikman.
Facing the human army of hundreds of people, the number of centaurs seemed a bit insignificant, only twenty or thirty people.
But their majestic posture and powerful momentum made the human army feel a little scared, especially Azikman, who was standing at the front. The powerful aura she exuded was frightening.
"Female centaur warriors, we are also here on the order of Prince Tedes. I hope you can be accommodating." A knight said.
"No!" The centaurs' attitude was very firm.
At this time, a middle-aged knight without a helmet came forward. He spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth with a smile on his face, "Our mission this time is to capture the centaur. She stole the prince's Things, I hope you won’t stop me. Otherwise, the peace between the Star Kingdom and the Centaur tribe will be difficult to maintain.”
Azikman frowned when he heard the name of Prince Tedes.
As the younger brother of the King of the Star Kingdom, Prince Tedes has the power to command hundreds of thousands of troops. Once the Star Kingdom's army really decides to invade the forest, her centaur tribe will be unable to resist.
But after thinking for a moment, Azikman still said resolutely: "These are the rules of the forest, and even that prince cannot violate them. If you dare to take another step forward, you will accept the anger from the forest!"
"It seems that we can't reach a consensus through words." The middle-aged knight shrugged with a wry smile, then pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed it at Azikman, and sneered: "But that's okay, I still have it. I have never tasted centaur meat, but today I will..."
However, before he could finish his words, a huge body suddenly fell and crushed him into a pulp.
"Hey~ I stepped on a little ant! It's really disgusting!"
Marley Rhine said in a disgusting tone, while using dragon breath to disinfect her dragon claws. Although the dragon claws are protected by thick dragon scales, she hates the smell of humans.
When the human army saw the appearance of Marley Rhine, they suddenly turned pale with fear.
"Giant... giant dragon!"
"It trampled the knight captain to death!"
"This giant dragon is a hundred meters long. We are no match for it! Run!"
"Oh my God! It's the first time I've seen a dragon with my own eyes! It's so awesome!"
"Stop being a bully and run away!"
"..."
The human army was instantly defeated and fled.
Su Xuan, who was on the dragon's back, also noticed that there seemed to be players in the army?
While thinking, he turned his gaze to the centaur group below.
Even the centaur warriors showed obvious fear when facing the dragon.
Of course, Su Xuan let Marley Lain land here mainly because he saw Azikman's figure.
Perhaps some valuable information can be obtained from this centaur's mouth.
"Azkman!"
Su Xuan greeted her, then jumped off the dragon's back and came to Azikman.
"Su Xuan?"
The moment he saw Su Xuan, Azikman showed a surprised expression. But the first thing she did was to tell the tribesmen: "It's okay, you are my friend."
Only then did the centaurs put away their weapons.
"How will you be here?"
Azikman moved his horse's hooves, came to Su Xuan, and asked doubtfully.
"There is a mission going on here, what were you just...?" Su Xuan asked Azikman. Although he only heard part of the conversation, he didn't know much about the conflict between them.
"Those humans want to enter the depths of the forest." Azikman explained, "But according to the rules of the forest, no army is allowed to enter the depths of the forest! Everyone must abide by this rule!"
"Only the army can't enter? Then we should be fine, right?" Su Xuan asked.
"You guys can go in, but you must abide by the rules of the forest and not harm any creatures inside." Azikman said, looking at Mare Rhine, and the other centaurs also turned their attention to her.
Fortunately, she landed in an open space, otherwise her dragon body would have caused serious damage to the trees in the forest.
"Change back to human form." Su Xuan said to Marley Rhine.
"Why should I listen to you! Self-righteous human!" Mare Rhine said, wagging her dragon tail dissatisfied.
However, her body was honest and transformed directly back into human form.
Because Marley Lain knew in her heart that as long as she turned back to a human, Su Xuan would no longer ride her.
"That group of human troops were capturing a centaur just now?" Su Xuan turned his attention to Azikman and asked.
"Um."
Azikman nodded, with a hint of gravity in his tone, "Their purpose of entering the forest was for one of our tribesmen, but that tribesman has been expelled from the Centaur tribe. She..."
At this point, Azikman frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with the clan's decision.
Azikman's words reminded Su Xuan of Liu Xue's previous story about the centaur female warrior.
There was a centaur who was expelled from the tribe because he was not of pure centaur blood.
This information caught Su Xuan's attention.
He observed the centaurs around him, both men and women, but they were all in standard centaur form. In such a group, the appearance of a half-man deer is indeed very unexpected. But is expelling her from the tribe too harsh a punishment?
However, this is an internal matter of the Centaur clan, and Su Xuan does not have the power to let them change their decision-making.
But since the Centaurs don't want her, Su Xuan decides to accept her himself!
"But there's something strange about this."
Azikman continued, "As soon as that tribesman was expelled from the tribe, the Star Kingdom's army entered the forest to capture her. I'm afraid..."
As he spoke, Azikman turned his eyes to the other tribesmen on the side.
She didn't finish her words, but Su Xuan understood what she meant. There was a mole in the clan!
"Azkman, it's time for us to patrol the next place." At this time, a centaur warrior walked up to Azkman and reminded him.
"You go, I want to supervise them to prevent them from harming the creatures in the forest." Azikman said to her tribe.
This surprised Su Xuan. Azikman's face did not turn red when he lied, and his heart did not beat.
"Understood."
The centaur warriors nodded, then turned and left.
"Then we'll leave first."
"Azkman, be careful. Humans are cunning and shameless. More than one of their armies has entered the forest. If you encounter them, be sure to inform us."
"Yes, I understand." Azikman nodded in agreement and watched the clansmen leave.
She turned around and said to Su Xuan: "Let's talk while walking."
"Yes." Su Xuan nodded in agreement.
"It's strange, there are several tribes that are particularly hostile to that tribesman." Azikman said to Su Xuan as he walked, "At first, I thought they wanted to elect a tribesman from their own tribe to become the leader of the Centaur tribe. But after several days of investigation, it seems that is not the case.”
Azikman's words made Su Xuan frown slightly.
Prince Tedes is not only cultivating creatures like soul-eating insects, but also capturing a centaur. What is he planning?
But what is certain is that it must be related to the upcoming Star Ceremony.
Edith said that in addition to the second princess and Princess Vivian whom she supports, there are two princes and one prince competing for the throne.
That prince must be Prince Tedes, and he is the only one qualified to compete for the throne.
"I heard that your tribe member is a born sage. Such a being should be able to bring huge changes to the tribe. Why..." Su Xuan continued to ask.
"Her identity is too sensitive." Azikman sighed, "If she was just an ordinary centaur, maybe things would not develop to this point. But she does not have any centaur characteristics, but has antlers. More like a descendant of another race.”
After hearing this, Su Xuan was thoughtful.
This is the most critical issue. She is not of pure centaur blood, but she was born into the centaur tribe.
Just like a child with a tail appears in human society, such a being will naturally be regarded as a monster.
"Azikman, what do you think about this matter?" Su Xuan asked Azikman what she thought.
"Me?" Azikman was stunned for a moment and replied, "I am very disgusted with the tribesmen who expelled her. Their decision caused our tribe to lose a born sage and created rifts among the tribesmen! But they don’t consider this at all, they just want to get money and resources from those humans. They value their own interests more than the future of the race!”
"..."
After hearing Azikman's answer, Su Xuan understood the current situation of the Centaur clan.
Those in power among the centaur race consider benefits from humans to be more valuable than a born sage.
"By the way, what is your mission? Do you need my help?" Azikman suddenly asked Su Xuan.
"My mission is to take away your clan member. She is now a member of my guild." Su Xuan replied.
"Really? That's great! I'm still worried about how that child will live in the forest, but if she can join your guild, she will definitely be happier than living in the tribe!" After hearing Su Xuan's intention, Azikman smiled brightly.
Her personality is somewhat similar to Guren, carefree, but also has some delicacy that Guren does not have.
"We've had some problems, though."
Su Xuan suddenly frowned and looked at Azikman.
"what is the problem?"
"She entered the forest birdcage!"
"Forest Birdcage!?"
Upon hearing the news, Azikman's expression immediately became heavy.
That was a forbidden area for the centaurs, so how could Verola go in?
"I want to rescue her, but..."
Before Su Xuan finished speaking, Azikman shouted to him eagerly: "Quick! Get on my back!"
"ah?"
"Although it is a forbidden area, I have a way to rescue the child." Azikman smiled confidently, "However, there may be some adventures. It depends on whether you have the courage to go with me."
"Walk!"
