After a few hours of galloping, the horse returned to the castle. There was no sign of the Centaur. It seems that the Centaur hasn''t hit here yet.

    After entering the castle, Marcus hurried to find other nobles to understand the situation. When Harold learned that the bald head was all right, he went straight to the ELF''s room.

    Fortunately, the Elves were not hurt. Theona said angrily, "obviously you can fight, why do you want to withdraw", "it''s just a pseudo legend. As for being so afraid?" she looked very angry.

    Harold let go of his suspense, and Marcus asked him to tell the whole story. The Centaurs who attacked them were the Centaurs who fled on the battlefield.

    Although the thunder tribe was defeated, there were many medium-sized Centaur tribes with hundreds of people. The evacuation of a large number of soldiers on the human side was detected by the Centaur.

    On the way to eliminate the Centaur by the human army, he was investigated by the Centaur commander. As a legendary strong man, his strength is far better than that of the human side.

    The Centaur commander was pleasantly surprised to find that there was no legendary strong man in the human army, and even the strong giant dwarf was gone.

    The Marquis of Prague went back to heal his wounds. Archduke lance, dwarf troops and archmages all agreed to leave after completing their tasks.

    Half of the nobles returned home for self-cultivation, which was the weakest period of the reclamation alliance. They were caught by the Centaur!

    ——————————Half a day ago

    The soldiers with bald heads and Marcus followed the large army to clean up the Centaur in the East. Surprisingly, they walked for a long time without seeing the shadow of a centaur.

    It''s strange to be bald. You can see the figure of a centaur in such a long distance. It''s strange today.

    Then suddenly one of his elite gladiators came to him and whispered, "Kryon, something''s wrong! I have a bad hunch, very bad!"

    "When I''m in the arena, I feel this every time before I have to fight a dangerous enemy. Believe me, I can''t be wrong! There will be danger soon. Retreat quickly!"

    "Danger? Are you sure, we have tens of thousands of troops!" the bald head looked at the elite gladiator in doubt, and the other party''s resolute expression did not waver at all.

    "... well, I organized the soldiers to return in advance. Other nobles can''t listen to me, and I can''t help it."

    Baldheaded trusted his brother, and he felt something was wrong today. Even if Marcus might blame him for doing so, he began to organize the soldiers to evacuate backward.

    The big army was led by seven nobles. Although Corleone needed cooperation in the battle, they couldn''t mess around, but now it''s just on the way. There''s no war. They can''t control whether to go or stay.

    As soon as the soldiers with bald heads and a puzzled face left the army for less than a few kilometers, they saw a distant earthquake and smoke rising.

    The bald head widened his eyes, and the smoke slowly approached. It was a centaur army! Thousands of Centaur troops want them to come at a gallop!

    Baldheaded at the moment, looking at the already chaotic human forces and the trembling soldiers behind them, resolutely ordered the retreat.

    The Centaur ignored the skinhead, a small force of only a few hundred people, but went straight to the already chaotic human army.

    The Centaur leader took the lead, a [war trample] completely disrupted the formation of the human army, and then began to charge with the screaming Centaur army.

    This battle is the third group collision between humans and centaurs. There are only seven nobles on the human side. Although there are tens of thousands of soldiers, there are less than 100 knights, and the high-end forces are very rare.

    The Centaur has a full 3000 riders. In addition to the Centaur commander, there is also a centaur guard, who is also a strong force to press the whole audience.

    After the battle began, the human side was defeated in an instant, and it was a great defeat without resistance. At the moment of the fight, thousands of human soldiers were directly crushed and bumped away. The strength of the Centaur commander was unstoppable, and the extraordinary knight on the human side could not even resist his move.

    The cavalry has always been the king of the plain, and the Centaur is a natural cavalry. The Centaur army can be said to be the overlord of the plain. When the orc Legion comes, it is difficult to face it!

    Not to mention the human forces, the seven nobles are eighteen thousand miles away from the legendary level, and they have no strength to turn the tide.

    The speed filled half Centaurus cut through thousands of human forces with half tons of weight and then transferred to the front and rushed back to fight.

    The defensive formation of human beings is like tofu. It breaks when touched. It is full of holes poked by the sharp knife composed of centaurs. Human beings are slaughtered and trampled without resistance. The Centaur army on the plain is a nightmare.

    The invincible strength of the Centaur commander also completely frightened the nobles and knights on the human side. Taking advantage of the chaos on the battlefield, the seven nobles quickly withdrew from the battlefield with knights and a few cavalry, and fled back to the castle like bald heads.

    The Centaur is cruel and ruthless, killing tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers. In the face of the full cavalry, no soldier can escape the Centaur with amazing endurance!

    __________

    In the elf home, Harold and Marcus are a little heavy, and the problems are some serious. The Centaur is ferocious and bloodthirsty, and is very vengeful. They will never let go of human beings. After the victory, they may attack the castle soon.

    Hold on or retreat?

    At this time, the other two nobles also came back with elite troops. After learning about the situation in a hurry, the nobles began to have a heated discussion and debate.

    The scouts have found the Centaur''s vanguard nearby. It seems that the Centaur''s attack will come soon.

    "If you can''t keep it, there are only 4000 people in the castle, no more than the Centaur! And the other party has a legendary Centaur!" said count lakid.

    This was a noble who was frightened by the Centaur army and the terrible strength of the Centaur commander. He was the first to escape the battlefield with a knight.

    "Tens of thousands of troops have been defeated. How can we deal with such a small number of people? Retreat first, and we''ll fight again when the Marquis of Prague and other nobles come!" said Viscount Kello.

    This is an aristocrat who didn''t clean up the Centaurs in the South with the big army like Marcus. He learned that tens of thousands of troops were destroyed. He wanted to preserve the strength of the troops and didn''t want to lose as much as the seven aristocrats.

    "Yes, anyway, the castle is not ours. If it is lost, it will be lost. It is a good thing for the Centaur to rob it. If we take it back, it will be ours!" said count kekeller.

    This is a greedy and lecherous aristocrat. He is greedy for the beauty of elves and wants to harass an elven sister. He is taught a lesson by Alan.

    Due to the powerful strength and status of the elves, he dared not attack, but he was very dissatisfied with giving such a big and good castle to the elves.

    The three nobles took the lead in saying they wanted to retreat. The other nobles were not in a hurry to express their opinions. They were still hesitant, but they were really excited by the three nobles above.

    "You don''t have to be a hero for a while. It seems more wise to evacuate first, then join the Marquis of Prague and others, and then attack together!"

    "Winning may not be good. Losing is dangerous. Not to mention the great loss of strength, the status of establishing a new country must be much lower!"

    "Indeed, this castle is not ours. The elf castle is just lost. Our soldiers are our own!"

    The three nobles who advocated retreat continued to express their views. They had to say that their words were very persuasive, and other nobles were also moved one after another.

    In the battle with the thunder tribe, mankind has experienced painful losses. Seven nobles have been killed. Now we have seen the dawn of the success of land reclamation. Who is willing to fall on the eve of dawn?

    Marcus slapped the table fiercely and said loudly, "you can''t retreat! It''s all over as soon as you withdraw!"

    "Centaurs are natural cavalry with excellent speed and endurance. Our horses are less than 1000. How can the remaining 3000 people run off on their legs?"

    The nobles who proposed to retreat suddenly looked ugly. They were not fools. Of course, they knew that infantry without horses had only a dead end.

    But they had horses. Those infantry could cover their retreat better as cannon fodder, but this question was raised by Marcus, and they really couldn''t answer it.

    "There''s no way we can retreat. When the Marquis of Prague and other nobles come together, we''ll win a half man?" count kikeller said.

    Marcus sneered and refuted: "do you really think centaurs are mindless beasts? Although the thunder tribe was defeated, the total number of centaurs in this land is hundreds of thousands or even millions!"

    "As long as the Centaur commander is fast enough, he can easily organize tens of thousands of centaurs to fight before we do our next attack!"

    "What if the Centaur doesn''t choose to fight us in the hills and highlands next time? How many soldiers do we have to organize to fight the Centaur on the plain?"

    This question is not easy to answer, but it must be at least ten times more. The combat effectiveness of centaurs is much stronger than that of human heavy cavalry. No more than ten times the number will definitely be dispersed.

    "Archduke lance and the Archmage can''t continue to help us. The Archmage has won the heart of legendary creatures and won''t do it again. Instead of continuing to help us who have failed one after another, Archduke lance might as well take the lead in opening up wasteland in the United Kingdom of Chiat!"

    "Our retreat is tantamount to giving up all our previous efforts! What do you think the Marquis of Prague and other nobles will think of us?"

    "Scared by thousands and a half of people, we left the castle and ran away. Do we still have the face to call ourselves the descendants of heroes? Are we still qualified to become the great nobles who opened up wasteland and founded the country?"

    Marcus pulled out his sword and nailed it to the table. He said loudly and forcefully, "I won''t retreat. With the castle defense today, if I retreat, I won''t have the courage to fight with the Centaur in the future!"

    "OK! Well said! They are worthy of being heroes who show their skills in the orc war. They rush up one by one when they see the benefits. They want to retreat when they meet strong enemies. How can it be so good!"

    "It''s really a shame to run away without fighting. If you''re so afraid of death, why do you come to open up wasteland? Just go back to lukanir and live! I also support Marcus!"

    Several nobles responded to Marcus one after another. They were not cowards. Before they hesitated to fight, they were just measuring whether the battle was worth risking their lives.

    After analyzing the pros and cons, Marcus made them understand that the cost of retreat is definitely not as simple as they think, and it is likely to lead to the failure of land reclamation.

    An old and high-ranking nobleman directly proposed: "cowards do not deserve glory. Those who choose to escape this time should withdraw from the Wilderness Alliance! Since they are unwilling to fight, don''t expect new territory! I believe the Marquis of Prague and other nobles will agree!"

    This is not nonsense. Anyone who can kick away several pieces of cake for legitimate reasons is not willing. Even if the number of nobles is too small to use after the founding of the people''s Republic of China, they can accept new nobles, and the price must be lower than now.

    This proposal was unanimously agreed by Marcus and six other nobles. The three nobles who advocated retreat wanted to refute it, but in the end they could only compromise reluctantly and express their willingness to fight.

    The biggest problem in defending the castle is the Centaur commander. The stone castle can''t resist the attack of the legendary strong man. If you can''t stop the Centaur commander, the guy will have to open a lot of holes if he destroys the castle a few times.

    Marcus said that other nobles only need to take good soldiers to defend the ordinary Centaur and the Centaur. The Centaur will lead him to solve it!
