Chapter 146 Verogo

Tethyr belongs to the Kraken family of sea monsters. Although it looks huge, it is actually just an immature Kraken.

The Kraken is a native species of the world of Azeroth. The Kraken family is very ancient. It can be said that they watched the continent rise from the ocean.

Because they spend most of their time dormant in the deep sea, the Kraken sea monster is very mysterious, and the land races know very little about them.

In the history of the world of Azeroth, the Kraken family once followed the water elemental lord, the Tide Hunter Neptulon, and became Neptulon's right-hand man.

The Kraken race also attacked the Gulash trolls. In that earth-shaking battle, the Kraken killed the holy snake Minos of the Gulash trolls and directly destroyed the powerful Gulash troll empire.

This history can still be found in the ruins left by the trolls. This bloody scene that brought endless pain to the trolls was engraved on the stone tablet. According to the text description on the stone tablet, the waves raised by the Kraken were higher than the mountains. The powerful spell cast by Minos, the holy snake of the trolls, could instantly evaporate the sea water and leave a burning pit on the seabed, but it could not defeat the Kraken. In the end, the angry Kraken triggered a tsunami, and the sea water submerged the last empire of the trolls, and took away the hope of the trolls' revival.

The sea monster Tesser was summoned by the murloc sea oath altar in Ratchet Village. With the help of the little naga, the translator, Tesser and the murlocs in Ratchet Village could communicate smoothly.

Tesser did not agree to join Ratchet Village as Yang Yi expected, but it did not leave.

When Yang Yi promised to provide food, Tesser stayed in Ratchet Bay temporarily. It usually stayed under the seabed of Ratchet Bay to hibernate and only surfaced when it needed food.

The sea monster Tesser was huge and needed a lot of food. Fortunately, as a sea monster, Tesser was not picky about food and could swallow any meat.

With the existence of Tethyr, the activities of the murlocs in Ratchet Bay are more secure.

The matter of the Seasworn Altar came to an end, and the murlocs in Ratchet returned to their respective positions, and Yang Yi also returned to the village.

"Almost all the races that can survive and grow in the world of Azeroth have backers. Shouldn't the murlocs in Ratchet also find a backer for themselves, such as the holy snakes of the trolls?" Yang Yi couldn't help thinking.

"Just like the boars are the descendants of the ancient demigod Agamargo, they can borrow the power left by Agamargo to strengthen themselves, and at the same time they are looking forward to Agamargo's rebirth. Even the wild centaurs have a great origin. It is said that their ancestors are the illegitimate sons of the demigod Cenarius."

Although the sea monster Tethyr is huge, it is only a level 5 beast at present. It is not strong enough as a backer. Yang Yi can only hope that its existence can be a help to Ratchet Village.

Ratchet Village is developing steadily as always. The civilization and military values ​​of Ratchet Village have reached "2302" and "2411" respectively, and the village is not far from upgrading again.

So far, Ratchet Village has profitable industries such as leather making, accessories, brewing, and alchemy. On the mainland, it has indirectly carried out business with villages and towns such as Crossroads through local indigenous merchants and adventurers, and has also started trade with the Darkspear Trolls' Senjin on the waterway.

All this has made the economy of Ratchet Village become active, and the village has gradually prospered.

Now, the Commercial Coast and Ratchet Bay south of Ratchet Village have basically been pacified by the murlocs of Ratchet Village. Although Ratchet Village has no way to completely control this area, it is already a safe range for the murlocs of Ratchet Village.

On the Thorn Ridge north of the village of Ratchet, the boar Tufang stabilized the boar refugees after receiving food aid from the village of Ratchet. Now they are gradually growing and have become the second largest force on the thorn ridge, second only to the boar tribe led by Klinig Badnose.

Now the two steel-bristled boar forces are hostile to each other and contain each other, which greatly reduces the pressure on the north of the village of Ratchet.

The west of the village of Ratchet is still the biggest source of trouble. The Kokar centaurs in the Deadwater Oasis have been quiet for a while after a battle with the tribal coalition, but they have become active again recently, and even worse.

The two centaur leaders, Stone Lance and Broken Spear, lost a large number of their followers in the last war, and after that, the Great Khan of the Centaurs in the Barrens directly sent a centaur army to prevent the Deadwater Oasis from being taken away by the tribe.

The leader of this centaur army to reinforce the Deadwater Oasis is a powerful centaur warrior named Verogo.

Verogo was originally from the Centaur Tribe of Deadwater Oasis. After he came back, he defeated Stone Lance and Broken Spear successively and became the new Khan of the Centaur Tribe of Deadwater Oasis.

Verogo is different from the two young Centaurs, Stone Lance and Broken Spear. He has been galloping in the Barren Land for many years. Because of his series of crazy behaviors, people call him Fanatic Verogo.

Fanatic Verogo really lived up to his title. As soon as he became the Khan of the Centaur Tribe of Deadwater Oasis, he immediately led the Centaurs to burn, kill and plunder everywhere, and even led the Centaur team to harass the crossroads.

Today, Fanatic Verogo led a team of 800 Centaurs from Deadwater Oasis to the east and came to the west gate of Ratchet Village.

Verogo, the new Khan, was upset that his two men had been defeated by the Murlocs.

Centaurs are a powerful race with a perfect combination of strength and speed. How could they lose to a weak and inferior race like the fishmen?

"Khan, the fishman village is ahead." Shi Qiang pointed in the direction of Ratchet Village.

"Well, this fishman village is a little different. It actually has a wall. Unfortunately, this wooden fence is too short and the defense is too weak. As long as our centaurs launch a charge, we can break through this fishman village immediately." Verogo was well-informed and didn't care at all about the wooden wall of the fishman village, which was only over three meters high. .

"Khan is right. Taking over this fishman village is not a problem. I heard that the fishmen in this fishman village store a lot of food. We can take this opportunity to grab all the food." Shi Qiang said.

"The food of the fishmen is just for us centaurs, haha." Verogo said with a smile.

"That's because Khan personally took action, and these fishmen had no chance of survival." Shi Qiang flattered.

"The scouts are dispersed to various highlands to conduct reconnaissance. If there is any abnormal movement, immediately send a signal. Broken Spear, you lead the team forward and break down the gate of the fishman village." Verogo ordered.

"Yes, Khan." Broken Spear replied, with a rather dissatisfied tone.

Broken Spear has a cold attitude and is not as flattering as Shi Qiang. After the new Khan came to power, Broken Spear's status in the tribe became lower and lower.

Although Broken Spear was unwilling, he still led his team to serve as the vanguard.

"Kokkar centaur warrior, follow me to break through the gate of the fishman village."

Broken Spear led a group of centaurs toward Ratchet Village fearlessly. These centaurs kept waving the spears and giant axes in their hands, and they were full of wild murderous intent as they accelerated their charge.

The murlocs of Ratchet Village symbolically threw a round of short spears and retreated from the arrow tower. The west gate did not last long and was soon breached by the large weapons in the hands of the centaurs.

The door was broken, and cruel and fierce centaur teams poured in.

Yang Yi led the murloc warriors from Ratchet Village to guard the inside. In order to separate the western and southwest gate hotel areas open to the outside world, Ratchet Village specially built a village-level wooden fence in the village. Now this The wall became the position that the fishman village held firm.

Between the two walls, the lobsterman slaves of Ratchet Village stood at the front. More than a hundred shield-wielding murlocs stood in three rows behind the lobstermen. Behind them were numerous murloc spear throwers fighting. Fishman.

Centaurs are good at running, and their battles require a wide space to give them the advantage of running speed, but there is not enough space for them between the two walls in Ratchet Village.

"Lord, you are ready." Old Blind Eye reported to Yang Yi.

"Okay." Yang Yi nodded slightly.

"Advance!" Yang Yi shouted and gave the order to start the war.

Yang Yi did not give the incoming centaurs a chance to adjust, and the fighting murlocs of Ratchet Village immediately took action.

The shield-wielding fishmen pressed forward neatly and quickly, squeezing the centaur's space for movement.

"Get ready to throw your spear!"

"Throw a spear!"

The murloc spear throwers came within shooting range, and following Yang Yi's order, more than a hundred short spears were thrown towards the centaur team.

"Get ready to throw the net!"

"Cast the net!"

The dense murloc net flew into the air and threw it at the centaur team.

"Get ready to throw your spear!"

"Throw a spear!"

…

The fighting murlocs in Ratchet Village were like a battle drill. They followed Yang Yi's orders step by step and launched wave after wave of attacks against the centaurs who invaded Ratchet Village.

Kokar centaurs have mortal bodies. Not only do they not have hard shells like lobster men, but most of them are not equipped with armor. Under the intensive short spear attacks from the fish-men spear throwers, the centaurs at the front fell to the ground one after another.

As the murlocs of Ratchet Village launched waves of fierce attacks, the Kokal Centaur barely fought back with bows and arrows at first, and then became a complete mess.

When the Kokar Centaur plundered caravans and manors, they always relied on their speed advantage to defeat the enemy in one go, or left immediately after charging. Positional warfare like this was not what they were good at.

"Captain Broken Spear, these fishmen are too powerful, we can't resist them."

"Retreat!" Broken Spear decisively ordered the team to retreat this time after learning the lesson from last time.

"kill!"

Broken Spear wanted to retreat, but Yang Yi did not allow the centaurs to escape again. He waved the harpoon in his hand and ordered the lobsters and fishmen to start charging.

The fishman first let the lobstermen rush towards the centaur team. Driven by the fishmen, these lobstermen screamed strangely and crashed into the centaurs.

"Ahhhhhh..." the lobsterman slave shouted and rushed over.

The centaur body is also considered strong, but it is still not enough to face the three-meter-tall lobster man. The centaur team was immediately knocked over by the charging lobster man.

"Wow, wow, wow, wow..."

Except for the shield-bearing murlocs and the murloc spear throwers, all the murlocs rushed out from both sides of the team, and they rushed towards the centaur team that was hurriedly retreating.

The west gate of Ratchet Village is not small, but it is not that easy for these centaurs to escape from the west gate in a short time.

Some centaurs who were squeezed under the wooden fence began to wave their weapons and wanted to break out of the wall. However, the level 3 fence of the village was quite strong. Finally, a centaur smashed a hole in the wooden fence and could only barely tolerate it. A tall and long centaur must get out.

At this time, Virogo Khan of the Centaur tribe had already seen that the situation was unfavorable, and he asked Shiqiang to lead another team of centaurs to assist Broken Spear.

Who knew that the two teams of centaurs would meet at the entrance of the west gate, and now both sides were unable to advance or retreat.

The centaurs who entered the ratchet village first were trapped inside, and they had to fight with the fishmen.

"Shiqiang, what's going on?" Khan Verogo found that something was wrong and ran over immediately.

"Khan, I don't know what happened to the broken spear. The tribesmen inside seem to want to withdraw from the fishman village." Shiqiang replied immediately.

"This broken spear is really a useless guy, don't worry about them. Everyone, shoot arrows into the wall of the fishman village, shoot inside, and kill those fishmen for me!" Verogo ordered decisively.

The centaurs and fishmen in the ratchet village were fighting, and Verogo's order for the centaurs outside to shoot arrows into the wall was undoubtedly disregarding the lives of the centaurs inside.

Following the order of Khan Verogo, the centaurs outside took out their longbows and began to shoot arrows into the ratchet village through the three-meter-high wall.

For a moment, arrows rained down in the Ratchet Village.

Under the merciless rain of arrows, both centaurs and murlocs fell one after another.

Since the centaurs' bows and arrows were thrown from inside the Ratchet Village as much as possible, more arrows fell on the position of the murloc army.

"Retreat, all retreat." Yang Yi had to give the order to retreat.

The fighting murlocs in the Ratchet Village received the order and began to retreat, away from the west wall and the arrows thrown from outside the wall.

As the murlocs retreated, the remaining centaurs took the opportunity to escape.

The first wave of fighting was over.

At the end of the battle, more than 180 centaur corpses were left in the Ratchet Village, and even the broken spears were accidentally shot in the vitals by the stray arrows of their own people, and fell in the pile of centaur corpses.

The fighting murlocs in the Ratchet Village also suffered more than 80 casualties.

"Long live the village chief! Long live the Ratchet Village!"

The fighting murlocs in the Ratchet Village began to cheer after successfully driving away the invading Kokar centaurs.

"Old Blind, let them be prepared, the Korkar Centaurs may launch a second round of attack at any time." Yang Yi instructed the old blind amid cheers.

When the battle ended and the fighting fishmen in the village began to cheer for victory, Yang Yi did not feel the passion brought by the war, his heart only felt the cruelty and ruthlessness of the war.

On the West Avenue outside the Ratchet Village, the dozen Korkar Centaurs who escaped had dull eyes.

The battle to attack the Ratchet Village brought them indelible painful memories, and they almost couldn't even answer the questions of the tribe Khan.

"Khan, Broken Spear has died in the battle." Stone Spear reported to Verogo. He had always been tit-for-tat with Broken Spear, but at this time he suddenly felt sympathetic.

"All the warriors who died on the battlefield are heroes of our Kolkar Centaur tribe. This is the glory of the Kolkar Centaur warriors. There is no need to be sad for them." Verogo said passionately, "What we have to do now is to avenge the heroes of the tribe."

"Khan, tell us what we should do now."

"We have to avenge the heroes of the tribe."

After hearing Verogo's words, Shiqiang and other Kolkar Centaur were excited, and their morale slowly improved.

"Light the torches. If those fishmen continue to hide and don't come out, burn this fishman village." Verogo ordered.

Verogo has rich combat experience. Although he is fanatical about fighting, he still maintains his rationality.

The centaurs knew that it would cost too much to force their way into the fishman village again, so they decided to use fire attack to disintegrate the fighting will of the fishmen.

Setting fire is something that Kolkar Centaur often does after looting. After receiving the order, these centaurs immediately took out the torches and flints that had been prepared long ago. They were ready to burn the fishman village to ashes. .
