Chapter 88 - Centaurs Join! Confident Bandits!



“Delicious!”

“I haven’t eaten this much in ages.”

“Yeah, it’s so delicious.”

“Lord Richard is so hospitable.”

“…”

On the square, after more than five hundred centaurs finished the meat prepared by Richard, each of them showed extremely satisfied expressions.

These centaurs didn’t have many pretensions. After being warmly entertained by Richard, their attitudes toward him changed.

Before this, their stored food was running out, facing the crisis of starvation for many.

“Hahaha, Okaisi, how’s the food prepared by the Lord?” At this moment, a hearty voice sounded.

At a glance, the centaur chief Okaisi saw it was the minotaur chieftain, Tieshi, who spoke.

“Tieshi, so it’s your tribe here.” The centaur chief Okaisi seemed to know the minotaur chieftain well.

The minotaur chief laughed, “Of course, it’s us. Come on, join us with Lord Richard. Look at us, we’ve been eating our fill every day for the past few months, and we’ve all grown stronger.”

The minotaurs had been part of Richard’s territory for two or three months now, and due to the abundant food, many of them had indeed become more robust.

They had also grown taller.

Now, the tallest minotaurs were nearly three meters tall, resembling small giants.

These minotaurs were exceptionally strong in battle, with tremendous strength. Equipping them with full-body armor enhanced their combat effectiveness even more.

Originally, a lavish meal had already intrigued the centaur chief. But the appearance of the minotaur chieftain, Tieshi, dispelled the last trace of doubt in the centaur chief’s mind.

The centaur chief suddenly made a decision.

He looked at Richard and said, “Thank you for your generous hospitality. If you’re willing to take us in, we’re willing to fight for you!”

Seeing the centaur chief’s determination, Richard smiled, “Of course, I’m willing. You are all powerful and upright warriors. I guarantee that in my territory, you will have a better life than in your previous place.”

The centaur chief added, “However, we still need to persuade over a thousand more of our tribesmen. So, Lord, I’d like to visit the forest you arranged for us tomorrow. Also, I heard from Dorothy that there will be bandits attacking tomorrow. If you don’t mind, we’re willing to lend a hand in defending your city!”

Hearing this, Richard’s smile grew broader.

The battle tomorrow would provide a good opportunity to assess the combat capabilities of the centaur warriors.

After a brief conversation, Richard arranged accommodations for these centaur warriors and then distributed weapons to them.

The weapons they had used before were mostly wooden spears.

Each centaur would carry several spears. Among them, most spears were used for throwing, while one spear was reserved for close combat.

Every centaur was a skilled spear thrower.

The spears they threw had a terrifying penetrating power within 20 meters, capable of piercing through ordinary wooden shields.

Of course, due to the angle of projection, their spears couldn’t be thrown much farther.

Originally resembling cavalry in melee combat, spears were a good supplement for centaurs, allowing them to have some long-range attack capabilities.

Combined with their swift speed and agility, they were even more formidable on the battlefield than cavalry.

Richard equipped these five hundred centaurs with shields, and also provided them with some previously prepared half-body armor.

For more comprehensive protection, they would need armor for their horse bodies as well, but Richard hadn’t customized such armor yet, as each centaur was unique.

In addition, Richard also prepared five spears for each centaur. These spears were also made of wood, but the spearheads were made of iron.

With these centaurs on board, Richard felt more confident about the battle tomorrow.

“Mia, Dorothy, rest early,” Richard said, after arranging the centaurs, leading Mia and Dorothy back to the castle.

“Mm, Master, you should rest early too.”

Mia and Dorothy went downstairs.

Meanwhile, Richard, after being attended to by Miwei, returned to his room and rested.

For others, with thousands of bandits about to attack the next day, sleep might have been impossible.

But not for Richard.

He slept soundly.

..

That night, under the cover of darkness, a large number of bandits approached Richard’s territory.

Not all of these bandits were riding horses.

Those who had a horse for each man were in the minority. Most of the bandits were on foot, sneaking closer.

In the darkness, it could be seen that these bandits brought many ladders and battering rams.

Above these battering rams, there were even some “shields” made of wooden boards.

This setup allowed the bandits below to use the battering rams to strike the city gate while the shields above could help them withstand arrows or stones from above.

These guys were quite well-prepared.

“Is everyone here?”

As dawn approached, several bandit leaders gathered together.

There were quite a few of these bandit leaders, nearly ten of them.

“All our men are here. Let’s stick to the previous plan. I, Big Stone, and Wild Wolf will lead the ambush from the city gate, while you launch a frontal assault. We’ll attack from both sides and take down this city.” One bandit leader said.

“It’s just a baron’s city. With so many of us bandits combined, it’s an easy task.” Another bandit leader dismissed it.

“Yes, although I’ll cooperate with your plan, I think you’re being too cautious. With seven or eight thousand of us against his mere one or two thousand, even if we just use numbers to overwhelm them, it’s enough. Not to mention there are also spies inside the city for us. It’s almost dawn, let’s take down the city sooner. I heard there are some decent beauties inside. I haven’t tasted the flavor of a beastwoman yet.”

“Once inside, loot all the money and provisions, kill all the men, and as for the women, you can do whatever you want. There are quite a few people in this city. Our brothers can all have a good time this time.”

“Enough talking. I can’t wait any longer.”

Soon, these bandit leaders split up. Three of them rode their horses to the west city gate with their men, preparing to lead the ambush there.

Meanwhile, more bandit leaders led thousands of men, preparing for a frontal assault.

“Straight ahead! They’re still fast asleep.”

At the command of a bandit leader, the bandits lurking everywhere, taking advantage of the last traces of darkness, rushed towards Richard’s city.

They didn’t know that their every move had already been noticed by the hidden Dorothy, who then reported to Richard via the radio.
