Chapter 265 Centaur Harassment Tactics
There were many small groups of Centaur armies, not just Colin's side, but other magicians and knights in charge of patrolling also reported the situation to Oscar.
Moreover, these centaurs have changed from following you in the beginning to harassing you. They will come over from time to time to shoot a wave of arrows at you and then leave. It's still okay during the day, but although we also set up camp here at night, there seem to be more loopholes. In just a dozen days, one or two thousand people have been killed.
The harassment from small groups of Centaurs is indeed annoying, but you can't just ignore it. You have to send out cavalry to chase them. Too few people won't work, and too many people won't be cost-effective. In desperation, Oscar issued an order that seemed like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
That is to dispatch professionals above the quasi-level to kill those centaurs. After the order was issued, Colin and his companions were somewhat resistant, not because they sympathized with the centaurs, but because killing a large number of low-level enemies did not suit Colin and his companions' psychology. However, the magicians and knights from the three duchies did not consider these.
What they were thinking about was how to reduce their own losses and kill the enemy to the maximum extent. Since the commander-in-chief Oscar had given the order, it was enough to execute it.
Although Colin and his men were unhappy, they would not disobey Oscar's orders. After ensuring the smooth passage of the army, the patrol personnel became hunters, and the hunting was even more ruthless.
Colin's attack was mainly based on fire magic, and he released large-scale magic. One move caused dozens of centaurs to be killed or injured. Emily released lightning magic and also performed group attack magic. In addition to causing many casualties to the opponent, it also had some paralysis effects, making the next attack more effective.
After Colin and his group, who were bullying the weak, began to cast spells, the Centaurs who were responsible for harassment were in trouble. Although they also shot bows and javelins from their backs at Colin and his group in the air, both the defense of Colin and his group and the attack power they trusted made them feel helpless.
The first-level centaurs hiding in the distance could not stay any longer. If this continued, these centaurs would be killed sooner or later, and Omar Guardian's plan would never be completed.
As a last resort, many first-level Centaurs also began to get involved.
This time, it was considered a formal battle between the professionals of both sides. This was exactly what Oscar thought. In fact, he would rather kill the other side's centaurs above level one than the lower-level centaurs.
This was the first time that Colin had fought against a Centaur above level one in this plane, but he already knew the racial characteristics of the Centaur.
So as soon as they started fighting, Colin released the magic of Quagmire Swamp to slow down the Centaur's speed, and the Centaur's charge speed suddenly slowed down.
As Colin's strength increased, the scope of the quagmire swamp also expanded a lot. Although the centaurs were tall, it took some time for them to cross the swamp. While the centaurs were running hard, they did not forget to shoot sharp arrows at Colin.
Different from previous tactics, Colin did not replenish his body shield this time. Instead, he used spatial displacement to dodge the opponent's arrows and counterattacked with a dimensional slash.
The Dimension Slash had a smaller wave, and the Centaur only discovered it when it was close to him. Trapped in the quagmire, he had no time to dodge, and could only rely on the blessing of the endurance aura to resist.
The Dimension Slash slashed the centaur's leg, leaving a shallow scar. The damage was not great, but passively taking a beating was not the centaur's style.
He pulled out the only javelin behind him and threw it at Colin. Under the influence of the acceleration halo, the javelin shot towards Colin at a speed faster than an arrow.
At the same time, Colin had just finished releasing the Earth Spike Technique, and when the Centaur threw his javelin, a large number of Earth Spikes stabbed upwards from under his body.
The Centaur was a step too slow to leap into the air, and was pierced by several sharp stone pillars.
Colin was stronger than the Centaur, and he managed to use spatial displacement in time to dodge the javelin, but the javelin did not stop, but continued to fly backwards.
Restricted by the influence of the quagmire, the Centaur's subsequent movement has been affected, and Colin knows that the Centaur has thick skin and flesh. If it is not fixed and you cast Lava Purgatory, it is difficult to kill it in one go.
Therefore, Colin changed his previous method of using earth magic and space spells to deal with the centaurs. In addition to the magic of the quagmire and swamp, he also used gravity magic to influence the centaurs, making it difficult for them to fly.
While the Centaur was resisting Colin's methods, Colin assisted with Dimension Slash and Earth Spike. After several rounds, the Centaur was covered with wounds. Although the Centaur removed those sharp stone pillars in time, the endurance aura is not a recovery aura, and the injuries inevitably worsened.
The rest of the battle was easy. After the Centaur half gave up counterattacking, Colin was able to free up his hands to use his signature Lava Purgatory. He killed the Centaur after only two uses.
The progress of other companions was similar, except that only a few of them killed alone, and most of them were two against one, using the majority to bully the minority. No matter how strong the Centaurs were, they were not strong enough to fight one against two, so they were naturally killed one by one.
The death of the first-level centaurs brought great harm to the centaurs responsible for harassment. If they did not fight, they might be able to escape. But once they died, the centaurs below could not escape. Except for some who surrendered, the rest of the centaurs were directly killed by this group of first-level wizards, magicians, and knights.
Omar's tactics lasted only more than ten days before it ended. The damage caused was that Oscar and his troops lost less than two thousand people, while the harassment troops he sent out numbered more than ten thousand, and more than a dozen first-level centaurs died. It was really not a splash at all.
Oscar and his team sped up their subsequent journey. Without a fixed base, it was somewhat difficult to communicate with the space fortress.
Omar has learned that the harassment tactics have failed, and he has also figured out that with fewer people, they really can't do much. Without the key "high-level" combat power, a head-on confrontation will not work. The only way is to wait for the arrival of the main army and then defeat the opponent in one fell swoop.
During the rest of the journey, there was no more harassment from the Centaurs, and even a few scattered Centaurs were not seen during the patrol. The road was smooth all the way, and it seemed that there were no other creatures except the road and Colin and his people.
After a month of forced march, Colin and his team finally reached the Chile Plateau.
Looking at the plateau in front of him that was several hundred meters high and the river flowing down from the plateau, Oscar was finally satisfied. What a great place! After building a permanent base, it would be time to conquer this Centaur plane. He hoped that they could hold on longer and not let himself down.
