Chapter 273: Two daggers (1)
Translator: 549690339
Garthor was madly running. At his side, there were only a few dozen guards, all of whom were from the herculean divine ox tribe. Other than these guards, there was no one else by his side. Not a single one.
Two thousand cavalry had been completely annihilated!
Garthor felt like he was still in a dream. A nightmare. Why were his 2000 cavalrymen defeated by 4000 undead creatures in a single encounter? Could it be that he was not leading two thousand cavalry, but two thousand coiling sheep?
At the last moment, if it wasn’t for his guards who risked their lives to break out of the encirclement, he might have died in the chaos. The thought of the undead creatures ‘attack still made him shiver.
At the same time, garthor thought of something else. He had been defeated by Weyers this time, but what about the future? What would Weyers do? Would he lead the undead creatures back to the tribe?
At the thought of this, garthor became even more uneasy. At the same time, there was another matter that made him very distressed. The loss of the 1500 bullfighting tribe warriors. He had borrowed these 1500 people, but now they had all died here. How would the bullfighting tribe react?
Most importantly, the 500 herculean divine ox tribesmen who had followed him out this time were his most loyal subordinates, and his most powerful weapons. This time, they had almost been completely annihilated. Without such a force that he could rest assured of, his future days would only be more difficult.
At the thought of this, garthor already had the urge to cry. His loss this time was too great, so great that he could not bear it.
Compared to Jasor, Zhao Hai’s harvest this time was much greater. Not a single one of the 1500 bullfighting tribe soldiers had escaped. They had all become Zhao Hai’s new subordinates. As for the remaining soldiers of the herculean bull tribe, Zhao Hai did not touch them. He had to give Weyers some face. No matter whose subordinates these soldiers were, they were still part of the herculean bull tribe. Zhao Hai could not go too far.
Weyers was pleased with Zhao Hai’s actions. In his opinion, these Warriors of the herculean divine ox tribe deserved the respect they deserved.
Therefore, Weyers buried the herculean divine bull Warriors and their mounts. However, their weapons were put away because the beastmen Plains lacked metal and they could not afford to waste it.
To Zhao Hai’s disappointment, not a single mount was left alive. Neither the bullfighting tribe nor the herculean divine bull tribe were able to capture it. This meant that Zhao Hai had lost the chance to add a new animal into the origin space.
However, Zhao Hai was delighted at the thought of the 1500 Warriors of the bullfighting race. He had 7000 undead creatures in his hands now, which was more than enough for him. He could even place the undead creatures in the iron Mountain fortress as guards. Even so, he had enough manpower.
In fact, if Zhao Hai wanted to, with his current strength, no one would dare to touch him even if he revealed his identity as a member of the Buda family. Even if he had the Church of Light as his enemy, he didn’t have to worry about his safety. With the realm, he didn’t have to worry about his safety. He should still like to fight because he would get new subordinates and a new army of undead creatures whenever he fought. As long as he wanted to, the number of undead creatures would continue to grow. At that time, he wouldn’t have to be afraid of anyone.
However, he didn’t want to do that. To be honest, Zhao Hai was still a little uneasy about using a large number of undead creatures. The China paid particular attention to the safety of the dead. If it wasn’t for the safety of himself and the people around him, Zhao Hai wouldn’t even be willing to use undead creatures, especially those in human form.
Moreover, he didn’t like war. He knew that if his identity was discovered, it would definitely cause a war, a war against him. When that time came, many people would die, and he didn’t want to become a sinner on the continent.
Now, only the nobles on the continent are making things difficult for him, but it’s not a big deal for him. I don’t want to fight, so I’ll just hide. But if a war is started because of him, it won’t be just the nobles who will hate him. The civilians will also hate him, and he doesn’t want that.
After the victory, Weyers didn’t immediately return to deal with gaethyr. He still wanted to follow his original plan and go to the surrounding tribes to get the support of the branch tribes before dealing with gaethyr.
Wells had his reasons for doing this. Just as Yale had said, the bullfighting clan had no good intentions when they came into contact with Gasol. They wouldn’t just watch as Gasol fell. If Gasol fell, then Wells would be the one to take over. Wells had never been on good terms with the bullfighting clan. If Wells took over, he would definitely suppress the bullfighting clan. The matriarch of the bullfighting clan would definitely be able to see this. If the Weyers “Army came, it would only make the bullfighting race stand on the side of garthor, and the matter would become even more serious.
If things really got to that point, there might be a war between the entire Tauren race. Wells didn’t want to see that happen, so he had to get the support of the small races first, then kick gaethyr out, and then deal with the bullfighting race.
Right now, neither garthor nor the bullfighting tribe knew that Weyers “greatest trump card was his grain. That’s right, he had grain.
The bullfighting race and garthor must have thought that Weyers ‘greatest support was Zhao Hai’s undead army, but they were wrong. The undead army was just a blade in Weyers’ hands, and he had an even faster and more vicious blade and food.
Food was the best weapon for the orcs because they were short of food every year, especially for some small tribes. They were short of food not only in winter but all year round. They couldn’t compete with the big tribes, and the grain merchants wouldn’t come to the small tribes. It was very difficult for them to buy food.
Now that Weyers had food, as long as he used it as a weapon, and with his reputation in the Tauren tribe, he could get the support of the other races. Then, he could launch the most fatal attack on garthor.
After defeating garthor, Weyers and the rest rested for two days. In fact, they didn’t have much to rest and reorganize. The undead creatures were the ones fighting, so there was no point in resting.
However, Weyers still rested for two days. In these two days, he took care of the bodies of the guards in garthor and buried them properly. He had a good rest before leaving.
Strictly speaking, the grassland that Weyers and the others were in wasn’t the territory of the ox clan. Although everyone lived a nomadic life, everyone knew that each race had their own territory. The stronger the race, the better the grass and rivers on their ranches. The warmer their winter place was, and the less susceptible they were to blizzards.
On the other hand, the weaker the race, the worse the pastureland they would get. If the pastureland was bad, the magic beasts they raised would not be able to grow fat. If the magic beasts were not fat, they would not be able to exchange for more food. Without more food, they could only eat the magic beasts. This way, their losses would be greater, and their strength would be weaker. It was a vicious cycle.
Weyers and the others were currently in the outer region of the orc grassland. The grassland there was not very good. The grassland belonged to the pig-headed humans, but it was the pig-headed humans ‘territory. It was because of this that Zhao Hai had met spear and the others from the big-bellied pig clan. A small tribe like spear would not dare to venture into the territory of other races.
The pig clan had a lower status than the bull-headed human clan because they were not as strong as the bull-headed human clan. Their royal family, the saber-toothed pig clan, was not as strong as the herculean bull clan. This had also affected the status of the pig-headed human clan among the beast clans.
After resting at the battlefield for two days, Weyers and the others set off for the Taurens ‘territory. However, they didn’t go straight to the Taurens’ territory. Instead, they took a detour.
It wasn’t that Weyers was afraid that Gasol would mobilize his troops to deal with him. Weyers knew that if Gasol really had the support of everyone in the tribe, he wouldn’t have brought so few people to deal with him last time. Moreover, most of them were from the bullfighting tribe, and there were very few from the Hercules bull tribe.
The clever Weyers guessed from this point that not everyone in the herculean bull clan was convinced by Gasol. Gasol couldn’t cover the sky with one hand, so he wanted to borrow troops from the bullfighting clan. This not only exposed his collusion with the bullfighting clan, but also exposed his current position in the herculean bull clan!
The Beastman race was a very direct race. They revered strength, and if you were powerful, they would willingly submit to you. Gaethyr was very powerful. He had fought for the herculean bull race for many years and had won more than lost. He was very popular in the race, and it was because of this that his ambitions rapidly swelled.
If garthor didn’t do anything, he still had a chance to fight for the position of patriarch. After all, the position of patriarch couldn’t be decided by the old patriarch alone. He had to consider all aspects.
However, garthor made a bad move. He shouldn’t have poisoned the old patriarch, and he shouldn’t have sent people to kill mendus and Weyers. This caused his popularity in the tribe to drop to the freezing point.
The orcs were too straightforward, so they were always at a disadvantage when dealing with humans. This also made the orcs develop a habit of hating those who used schemes. Garthor had poisoned the old patriarch and hunted down mendus and Weyers. This had changed the impression the people of the herculean bull tribe had of him from a powerful warrior to a despicable person who knew how to use schemes. This had caused him to lose a lot of popularity in the tribe. It was because of this that he had no way of mobilizing the herculean bull tribe’s forces to hunt down Weyers and the others.
