Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage
Chapter 55 Emergencies
The equipment required for the star positioning method is very simple, a sextant used for navigation is enough. It seems that the navigation positioning on the mainland should come from the era of the ancient Netheril Magic Empire, but the difficulty is very different. After all, the former only needs to know the direction and the latter needs to be accurate to a specific place.
Of course, the main difficulty lies in the complicated calculations. Even a fifth-level mage is helpless and a tenth-level mage has a headache after looking at it, but it is nothing to the time traveler Christine.
Others showed full respect for the Baron writing and drawing on paper: "I can't understand it, so stay away."
After all, we have already arrived at the scene, so it is much easier to observe and calculate within a rough range. The results will be available in about two hours. The laboratory is on the hill in front.
"Follow me." Christine ordered.
Although it was night, they could not use any lighting methods. This was already a place where scouts from both sides often fought. The firelight could travel far at night. Fortunately, they were all professionals. This difficulty was not a big deal. Of course, there are not so many problems when climbing during the day, but you can only check your position at any time when there are stars at night.
"Lord Baron, someone just walked through here not long ago, no more than a day ago." Thief Tam reported in a low voice.
"Go ahead and do some reconnaissance, Ronnie, and give him some magic." Christine also whispered.
Ronny Stedruid immediately cast a spell to bless Tam with the first-level spell "Super Vision", which allows people to have dark vision for one hour.
After Tam left, Christine ordered: "Everyone should be more vigilant."
Everyone else drew their weapons and stood on guard waiting for the reconnaissance results. After all, it was impossible to retreat even if there was danger.
Tam came back more than half an hour later and reported: "It's an orc centaur. There is a cave at the foot of the mountain. There is a sentry outside. I don't know how many people are inside."
"Kill them, Tam, go and deal with the sentries." Christine made her decision immediately.
No matter why these centaurs are here, now is a perfect opportunity. After the fight, they are unable to escape in the cave.
If we retreat now, not to mention leaving traces, will they be discovered after dawn? What if these centaurs don't leave? Have you been waiting forever?
So everyone raised their legs and stepped down quietly, quietly arriving not far from the entrance of the cave.
The so-called centaur means that the upper body is a human and the lower body is a horse. It is one of the light cavalry units among the orcs. The combat effectiveness of the elite centaur is no less than that of human cavalry. After all, no matter how well trained a man and a horse are, they are not as good as a man and a horse.
The centaur sentinels who were keeping watch at night could be said to be very serious, but no matter how serious they were, they could not let their spirits down for a moment, so Tam seized the opportunity and inserted the poisoned dagger into his heart.
The function of this poison is to paralyze people and make them unable to speak. It is expensive and was bought from the Thieves Guild specifically for this treasure hunt.
The entrance of the cave is about four meters wide and two meters high. It is very hidden because it is surrounded by plants.
When everyone came close, they immediately prepared for battle. Knight Eric stood at the front holding a shield because he was wearing full body armor. There were two shield-holding warriors on his left and right, and everyone behind him was holding a bow and arrow.
Although everyone was careful, they were too close after all. The centaurs in the cave were alert and woke up after hearing the sound, but it was already too late.
puff! Everyone lit several torches and were then thrown into the cave. It was night itself, and there was no starlight in the cave. The torch suddenly thrown in made the centaurs unable to open their eyes for a while, while the humans who had been prepared shot their bows and arrows according to the light of the fire.
puff! puff! The three-edged steel arrow was shot from the strong bow, and in an instant, bloody flowers burst out from the centaur's body.
┗|`O′|┛ Ouch~~!
There was that sturdy centaur who rushed over even though he was hit by several arrows.
Bang!
The centaur that rushed out hit the shield of Knight Eric, and then fell to the ground after being stabbed in the heart with a sword. The impact of a centaur running in an open area would be astonishing, but it couldn't run away in a cave. Besides, this centaur is only at the third or fourth level of strength while Eric Knight is at the seventh level. It is natural to have this result.
The entrance to the cave is only more than four meters wide, so after Eric Knight and two soldiers blocked it, the centaur couldn't rush over at all. Besides, what would happen if it rushed over? It would not be killed like the previous one, while the humans would Can draw the bow and shoot arrows calmly.
The torches thrown in were quickly stamped out by the centaurs, and then the humans threw them again. After all, there are a lot of flammable plants out there. Just break a section off, light it and throw it in. As long as it burns for half a minute, it's enough.
The humans didn't know how deep the cave was. In short, they couldn't see the end, but the standing centaur could not be seen in the firelight.
"Let's go in slowly." Eric Knight said.
Under his leadership, everyone lit torches and walked slowly into the cave. Every time they came to a centaur corpse, they had to take a last hit. This cautious approach turned a few pretending dead into real dead ones.
The cave was not tortuous but almost straight, but it was very deep, which caused some centaurs to hide inside where bows and arrows could not reach them. But this doesn't matter much. The humans who have the upper hand on the terrain are slowly advancing while killing.
Because the incident happened in such a hurry, the centaur had no time to wear the armor, and what's the use even if it was worn? The leather armor couldn't stop the strong bow, let alone the +1 knight's long sword in the hand of Knight Eric.
"Keep one alive for interrogation." Christine said from behind the team.
Upon hearing this, Knight Eric immediately shouted: "Listen to the orcs and centaurs inside, if you surrender now, your lives will be spared!"
However, no one responded after shouting three times. The "Strait Wind" mercenary team shouted three more times in Orc language, but still no answer.
"Keep going and see who gets better." Eric Knight said.
No matter how deep the cave is, there is an end. After walking more than a hundred meters, a total of fifty-seven centaurs were killed, with the last three remaining.
Under the light of torches, two centaur warriors who were obviously better dressed than the others were guarding a short centaur girl at the end of the cave.
The "Strait Wind" mercenary team is experienced and can identify the class of the orcs from their costumes. Upon seeing this, their captain immediately reminded in a low voice: "Lord Baron, this female centaur should be the daughter of their tribal chief."
Afraid that Christine wouldn't understand, he added: "This is a big tribe, and the chief is equivalent to a human baron."
"One more time to persuade her to surrender. If she doesn't surrender, the chief's daughter will be kept and the others will be killed." Christine ordered.
