Beneath the Red Dragon-Chapter 106 - 54: The Beginning of Conquest (Part 2)

Chiron received the order and left, taking his Centaur Warriors and the Dogman and Goblin who were covering the Gray Wolf’s mouth, quietly following the Jackal-Wolf Man pack that was already heading into the distance.

To avoid being discovered by the keen sense of smell of the Jackal-Wolf Men, the Centaur Cavalry tracked against the wind, trailing far behind the Jackal-Wolf Man pack.

Along the way, they saw the Jackal-Wolf Men chasing prey but did not take action until they were far from the hilly area. It was then that the leading Chiron instructed his warriors,

"You Gray Wolf Cavalry spread out to block those Jackal-Wolf Men who might escape, the rest of the Centaurs come with me to kill these Jackal-Wolf Men, but leave some alive to send out a call for reinforcements, so as not to disrupt my plan to catch them all in one sweep."

"Yes," answered the Centaur Knights and Gray Wolf Knights in unison, and a heavy killing intent immediately rose on the tranquil moonlit grassland.

"Attack," Centaur Chiron waved the Black Iron Long Spear in his hand, pointing at the Jackal-Wolf Men enraptured in slaughtering their prey, his four hooves gradually speeding up.

The Dogmen and Green-skinned Goblins riding the Gray Wolves also waved their short spears, screeching as they spread out to block the retreat of the Jackal-Wolf Men.

Rumble,

Two hundred formidable Centaur Knights spread out in an attack formation, their four hooves trampling the grassland, uprooting turf, and charging forward like a torrent of a mountain flood, unstoppable.

This commotion stirred countless ripples on the tranquil grassland, disturbing numerous creatures hidden in the grass and low bushes, fleeing from their hiding places.

The Jackal-Wolf Men also noticed the Centaur Warriors charging madly at them, but they thought their numbers gave them an advantage and were unafraid.

Jackal-Wolf Men are inclined to attack when they have a numerical advantage, using a sea of people strategy and their strong power to overwhelm opponents.

So these Jackal-Wolf Men instead felt that tonight’s prey was secured, their brutal and bloodthirsty nature lighting up their beastly eyes, and under the lead of the Jackal-Wolf Man Barbarian Captain, they charged at the Centaur Knights.

"Kill these Centaurs, feast tonight, and suck their blood and bone marrow," the Jackal-Wolf Man Barbarian Leader waved his heavy Double-Headed Flail, driving his Jackal-Wolf Men to attack.

The Giants and Bear Goblins in the ranks also brandished their Big Sticks, howling and charging up. These creatures are allies of the Jackal-Wolf Men when numbers are equal, but become their slaves and reserve food when outnumbered. Driven by the Jackal-Wolf Men, these creatures also unleashed their ferocity.

Boom,

The two sides collided, the strong Centaur Chiron’s entire body surged with a faint radiance, his muscles swelled, and the fine Dragon Scales covering him expanded along with the bursting muscles, resembling a scale explosion.

"I’ll kill you," the tall Jackal-Wolf Man Barbarian wielded a Bone Staff crafted from the thigh bone of an unknown creature and lunged forward.

With tremendous power, this Jackal-Wolf Man easily leaped to the height of the Centaur, the Bone Staff whistling through the air to crush the Centaur’s skull.

Chiron was fearless, his robust arm flowing with radiance enveloping the thick Iron Spear, and the unstoppable sharpness directly pierced through the pouncing Jackal-Wolf Man Barbarian.

The radiance on the Long Spear surged instantly, exploding the Jackal-Wolf Man hanging on the Long Spear from the chest to abdomen, splitting his body in two, and the weapon that was swinging lost its power support, falling to the ground.

"Kill all of you," the remaining Jackal-Wolf Men also lunged at the sides of the Centaur formation, their not much weaker bodies bursting with powerful force, aiming to kill the Centaurs.

On Chiron’s flanks, Kali and Zogo had also inherited the Centaur heritage. Although the time was short, they were much stronger than before. They gripped the Long Spear tightly, charging with formidable force combined with running momentum, making the Long Spear an incredibly terrifying weapon. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Splash, the Long Spear in Kali’s hand swung, knocking down the Giant’s Bone Staff, the Long Spear swept past the Giant’s body and rushed on. The Giant cried out, clutched the slash on his neck with both hands, but was quickly impaled by the Centaur Warrior’s Long Spear behind Kali.

The long Iron Spear in Zogo’s hand was more like a long rod, swinging in his robust arm, smashing the head of a Bear Goblin, from which red and white sauce spilled out.

The Bear Goblin, with its sufficient life force, was not yet dead, gasping on the ground, but was then trampled by the cavalry behind, turning into meat paste and blood mud.

These Centaur Knights easily pierced through the Jackal-Wolf Men wearing Beast Hides with their Long Spears, skewering them as if they were wild fruits, then sliding the spear tips to shake off the Jackal-Wolf men’s corpses, continuing to charge forward.

In an instant, the clash between Jackal-Wolf Men and Centaurs created a bloody battlefield on the green grassland, countless splattered blood and flesh staining the ground below.

Most of it was the blood and flesh of Jackal-Wolf Men, only a few unfortunate Centaurs became the target of several Jackal-Wolf Men and were injured. The cavalry’s impact and speed made it difficult for the Jackal-Wolf Men to take a bite.

Under the leadership of the mighty Chiron and several other Centaur Warriors, the Centaur Cavalry easily pierced through the Jackal-Wolf Man formation, even those stout Jackal-Wolf Man Barbarians could not resist this cavalry assault.

With just one simple round of charging, nearly half of these Jackal-Wolf Men were dead, and the leader of the Jackal-Wolf Man Barbarians, seeing the Centaur Cavalry that pierced straight through their own formation, was immediately terrified, tail tucked.

"Run quickly, these Centaurs’ weapons are too formidable, we must return to tell the chief."

Immediately, it howled, ordering the remaining Jackal-Wolf Men to scatter and flee, mixing with the escaping Jackal-Wolf Men heading towards the hilly nest.

The Jackal-Wolf Men running for their lives while shouting loudly at the top of their lungs,

"Howl woo,"

This was a signal for help and warning, the rest of the Jackal-Wolf Men also howled, and for a time the grassland was filled with cacophony akin to the howls of Earth Wolves.

But death was close on their heels, the Centaur Cavalry that broke through the Jackal-Wolf Man formation regrouped and redirected under Chiron’s adjustment. They weren’t like those human cavalry needing to adjust their horses; they were more united with their mounts, so they regrouped far quicker than human cavalry.

The Centaur Cavalry followed the Jackal-Wolf Men, gazing at their prey like the Grim Reaper, waiting until the Jackal-Wolf Men were about to approach the hills, the call for backup was enough to be transmitted, before launching their charge again.

And in front of the Jackal-Wolf Men, they could no longer care about the Centaur Cavalry behind because facing them were the Dogman Knights and Goblins who excelled at fighting favorable winds.

These two creatures were more vicious and brutal than any race when fighting favorable winds, also enjoying tormenting their opponents more.

These Goblins and Dogmen rode Gray Wolves twice their size, cunningly maneuvering around, recklessly shooting short bows and spears, filling the limbs of these Jackal-Wolf Men with arrow feathers and short spears.

Previously weakling scum in the eyes of Jackal-Wolf Men, easily crushed with one hand, became deadly killers, one by one Jackal-Wolf Men falling dead on their way home.

The blood illuminated this path across the grassland, their eyes wide looking at the bright moon above, the remaining light in their eyes filled with resentment and humiliation, dying at the hands of these Green-skinned Goblins and Dogmen, they could not rest in peace.
