Laura took a deep breath and looked at the flag on the tent. It was indeed the flag of the bull King. She turned to Zhao Hai and said, ” &Quot; big brother hai, it’s indeed the Minotaur King’s flag. What should we do? ”
Zhao Hai furrowed his brows. He wasn’t too sure right now. The Jackal race actually dared to attack the herculean divine ox race. This in itself was extremely unreasonable. Zhao Hai felt that there was something strange about this matter, but he couldn’t put his finger on what it was.
Zhao Hai took another look at the battlefield and sighed, ” “It’s no use. We’re too close to the battlefield now. They’ve already discovered us. Let’s keep moving.”
Laura took a look at the battlefield and found that someone had already noticed them. It was too late for them to turn around.
They weren’t afraid that the other party would do anything to them, but don’t forget that their carriage still had the big belly pig tribe’s friendship flag. Even if they could escape, they would bring quite a bit of trouble to spear. After all, there was no such thing as an airtight wall in this world. Whether it was the herculean bull tribe or the gnolls tribe, spear and the rest of the small sheep-head hammer tribe couldn’t afford to offend either.
Zhao Hai and the others slowly made their way towards the battlefield. Their reaction was clearly out of the expectations of both sides. The attacking side was the Jackal tribe, while the defending side was the herculean divine ox tribe.
This time, the Jackal tribe had mobilized a lot of people, nearly 2000 of them, and they surrounded the small camp that could only accommodate a few hundred people and attacked it continuously.
The herculean divine ox tribesmen on the defensive side only numbered about 300, but they were all elite soldiers. They wore leather armor and held double-edged heavy axes in their hands, but they did not have mounts. Their mounts were parked in the camp. They were huge khaki-colored Bulls that were more than three meters tall. These Bulls only had a layer of fine hair on their bodies, but they were extremely strong and muscular. They had a pair of large horns that were nearly one meter long and extremely sharp. These Bulls were now standing in the camp. They stomped their hooves uneasily, as if they couldn’t wait to charge up and fight. Zhao Hai finally understood why they were called the herculean divine ox tribe.
These people from the herculean bull race were more than 2.5 meters tall, and their muscles were as well-built as bodybuilders. If they were to go to Earth to participate in bodybuilding competitions, even Schwarzenegger would have to step aside.
Their skin was golden in color and shone with a metallic luster, just like the actors on earth who wore gold powder on their bodies when they played the 18 bronze men.
It was a huge bull’s head with a pair of horns that were half a meter long. The huge double-edged battle axe in his hand was more than three meters long. Just by looking at the axe, it was definitely more than two hundred pounds.
Although they were few in number, they formed a circle and guarded the big tent in the middle of the camp like an iron wall. Not a single Jackal tribesman could break in. In front of them, there were already many Jackal tribesmen’s corpses.
On the other hand, the Jackal people were much worse off. These jackals were all riding on their mounts. Their mounts were animals that looked like wolves and dogs, very similar to the jackals on earth, but they were much larger. They were nearly two meters tall, with sharp claws and teeth, and cold eyes. All of these showed their extraordinary attack power.
Few of the Jackal people wore leather armor. They were only wearing the ordinary leather clothes that the orcs usually wore. They were only about 1.7 meters tall, and the weapons in their hands were of all kinds. Their heads were like jackals, and their eyes were flashing with a ferocious light.
Zhao Hai didn’t expect the Jackal race to be so short. They were even shorter than the average human. It was a surprise that they could become the most outstanding bandits on the grassland.
At this time, the two sides also saw them. Zhao Hai did not move forward. Instead, he had the carriages form a circle, ready to resist the enemy.
Zhao Hai had done this to test the waters. He wanted to see if the people of the herculean divine ox tribe would ask him for help. If they did, he could help them. If they didn’t, then he would just wait here.
Zhao Hai’s actions stunned both sides. They had seen many human merchants, but this was the first time they had seen a human merchant as bold as Zhao Hai.
Normally, the human merchants would do some research on the grassland in order to know what was going on. Other human merchants would try to stay as far away from them as possible when they were in the middle of a battle. However, Zhao Hai’s group had walked right up to them and even tried to resist. How could they resist an enemy with only a few people in their group?
It was no wonder that the jackalans and the herculean divine ox had such thoughts. Right now, there were only about 50 people in Zhao Hai’s merchant group. With 50 Coachmen and Zhao Hai’s group of four, it was just a pack of poker cards. They dared to put on a façade to resist the enemy. One was a powerful race, the herculean divine ox tribe, while the other was the most notorious Bandit on the grassland. This gave people the feeling that their heads were being kicked by mosquitoes.
At this time, a man suddenly walked out of the tent in the middle of the herculean divine ox clan. He was also a member of the herculean divine ox clan, but he was obviously not from the herculean divine ox clan. He had fine black hair on his head and was only about two meters tall. His pair of horns were not very long either. They were long horizontally. He wore a black robe and held a walking stick made of beast bones in his hand. The walking stick was only about one meter long and looked like a walking stick.
Zhao Hai was taken aback. This was the first time he had seen an orc in a robe. Most orcs wore leather clothing, but this Tauren was wearing a magic robe. Most importantly, this nearly two-meter-tall Tauren gave Zhao Hai the impression that he was very thin.
At this moment, Laura suddenly said,”it can’t be wrong. There must be a high-level figure of the herculean bull tribe here. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be an orc Prophet following them.”
Zhao Hai was stunned. It wasn’t that he hadn’t heard of the orc Prophet profession. On the contrary, he had heard of it before, and it was very famous.
Prophets were a very respected profession among beastmen. They couldn’t practice beast soul skills, but they could predict the future by roasting beast bones and looking at the cracks on them. They could also use bone tablets made from special magic beast bones to use the soul summoning technique to summon beast souls to attack. The status of prophets among beastmen was even higher than that of mages among humans.
Because of the status of a prophet, only Great War clans had prophets. Not only were these prophets useless, but they were also very smart people. In Great War clans, they usually played the role of military counselors.
“Is that the Prophet of the orc race?” Zhao Hai turned around and asked Laura.
Lola nodded and said, ” he is a prophet of the water buffalo clan. The water buffalo clan is known as the smartest clan of the Tauren clan. Most of the Tauren clan’s prophets were born in the water buffalo clan. Because of this, although the water buffalo clan’s combat power is not very high, they have a high status in the Tauren clan. &Quot;
The water buffalo Prophet also saw Zhao Hai and the others. His eyes flashed with confusion, then he saw the big belly pig tribe’s friendship flag on the roof of Zhao Hai and the others. His eyes couldn’t help but shrink.
As a prophet of the orcs, he could naturally tell that it was a battle flag that represented the friendship of the orcs. If Zhao Hai and the others could obtain this battle flag, it meant that they had obtained the friendship of an orc tribe. This was a goal that ordinary merchants would never be able to achieve in their lifetime.
Obtaining the friendship battle flag didn’t just mean that you had obtained the friendship of the orcs. It also meant that the orcs no longer treated you as an outsider. In other words, Zhao Hai and the others could be considered orcs when they moved on the grassland.
Zhao Hai didn’t know about this. Even if he did, he wouldn’t have much of a reaction. As long as the battle flag was useful, it was fine. He just didn’t want to cause trouble.
When the orc Prophet saw the flag on Zhao Hai’s carriage, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he turned around and went back into the tent. After a while, another person from the Hercules ox tribe walked out of the tent.
This herculean divine ox tribesman looked very young. He was only about 2.3 meters tall, and his muscles weren’t that exaggerated. Moreover, he didn’t wear any leather armor, but instead wore a black cotton shirt. Although the style of this cotton shirt looked simple, it could be seen that the material of the shirt was very good. It should be known that the orcs didn’t produce cloth, so cloth was also a very popular item in the orc Prairie. Only some people with status would wear cotton clothes. The clothes made of such good material must have a high status among the orcs.
Zhao Hai then carefully observed the herculean divine ox. He discovered that the man had two golden hoops on his horns. When the sun shone on them, they flickered with a golden light.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai knew that the herculean bull Warriors must have been protecting this person. Seeing the Prophet standing behind this person, he knew that this person’s status was not low.
Zhao Hai looked at the person from the herculean divine ox tribe, and the person from the herculean divine ox tribe looked back at him. Zhao Hai’s Black magician’s robe was simply too eye-catching. It was difficult for that person not to notice him even if he wanted to.
At this moment, the members of the Jackal tribe suddenly moved. A group of two hundred cavalrymen from the Jackal tribe rushed towards Zhao Hai’s group. However, Zhao Hai didn’t do anything. He wanted to see what these people from the Jackal tribe wanted to do. If these people from the Jackal tribe didn’t attack him directly and only threatened him, he wouldn’t fight back. However, if these people from the Jackal tribe attacked him without saying anything, he wouldn’t be polite either.
Without waiting for the jackalans to run to Zhao Hai’s car formation, the leader of the herculean bull clan said, ” “Human friends, come to our camp. I will guarantee your safety.
