Chapter 195 The Future of the Centaur Tribe



Chapter 195 The Future of the Centaur Tribe

In the inner circle of the Forbidden Forest, in the center of the northern territory,
A place as large as ten football fields was emptied out, and the surrounding area was filled with wooden piles with sharpened tops and a length of about four or five meters.

From the outside, it looks like an enlarged version of the defensive fence is used to isolate this location.

In this huge defensive fence, it is scattered here and there, each and every one of them is very simple in shape but quite distinctive wooden houses,

Compared with human houses, these houses are generally much taller, especially the gates of each house are extraordinarily tall, basically have a height of about five meters, and there are no two-story buildings, all of which are one-story buildings.

The interior decoration of the house is different from that of ordinary human houses. There are no normal human beds inside, but nests made of soft hay.
The nest is surrounded by a large wooden basin filled with clear water and a shelf like a campfire.

Obviously, these houses are not normal human residences, they are centaur houses built by centaurs,

And this stockade is not the stockade of ordinary humans, but the stockade in the inner circle of the Forbidden Forest, where about 150 horsemen live.

It's around ten o'clock in the morning,
The young and middle-aged centaur hunting team of the centaur tribe, carrying the prey they hunted out in the early morning, walked into the stockade with a solemn expression.
The female centaur in the stockade, who was wrapped in leaves to cover her upper body, immediately surrounded the hunting team happily after seeing the hunting team return, took down the prey one by one, and prepared to clean and cook them.

In the very center of the stockade is an open shooting range,

At this time, under the guidance of a middle-aged horseman, the ponies are practicing bow and arrow.

After the hunting team leader Ronan handed the prey on his back to his wife, with a dignified expression, the four horseshoes "tapped" and "tapped" and trotted towards the most obvious and largest house in the village.
Two strong centaurs with spears at the door of the house nodded respectfully when they saw Ronan, and let him in.

"Patriarch, when we were hunting this morning, we seemed to hear the roar of a suspected fire dragon coming from the south again. Maybe there is really a fire dragon coming from the south!"

After Ronan rushed into the house, he said loudly to a very old-looking centaur with white hair inside.

"Ronan, keep your voice down, the patriarch is doing divination!"

Another young centaur in the room, who looked more stable, warned.

However, Ronan didn't seem to buy it, and said anxiously:

"Fierenze, that's a fire dragon. If it flies to the north and attacks our village, even if we can kill it, it will cause huge losses to the village!"

Fire dragons are the most dangerous magical animals in the wizarding world. Not only do they have powerful bodies, they can also spit out a large amount of flames to perform ranged magic attacks. They can also fly, and their mobility is very high.
So not only the wizards, but also the horsemen also regard the fire dragon as a huge threat.

There are a total of 150 centaurs in the centaur tribe. Excluding those who are still in their infancy and cannot even draw a bow, there are 130 people who can fight.

When the centaur is about ten years old, its strength is no worse than that of ordinary adult humans, and it can already have good combat effectiveness and can participate in battles.

And although those female centaurs are weaker than male centaurs in fighting power, as long as they pick up a bow, they are also sharpshooters that are more powerful than ordinary humans.
As for the old horsemen in the village who can't even pull their bows, although they can't participate in frontal battles, they all have very good magical abilities at this age, and can assist the fighting horsemen with buffs and healing magic.
So don't look at a centaur village, there are less than half of the adult male centaurs, but in fact, except for those who are breastfeeding, they can all be counted as combatants.

Therefore, even if a fire dragon breaks into their stockade, they are confident in shooting it down,
However, after the battle, the centaur tribe may lose nearly one-third of the tribe, which is the key to Ronan's solemn face.

"Ronan, the patriarch is divining the safety of our village right now!"

Firenze shook his head helplessly. The hunting team leader is always so quick-tempered. Ever since the horseman faintly heard the dragon's roar from the south, the patriarch has taken it very seriously.
Today, the patriarch is using the most complicated and profound divination methods to predict the future of the village.

The centaurs are very powerful, but the giant spiders and the wolf clan are not weak, so generally, unless there are special circumstances, because of the agreement of the leaders of the three parties, the centaurs will not easily enter the territories of the southern giant spiders and the wolf clan.
Otherwise it would be taken as a provocation, leading to war in the Forbidden Forest.

Hearing Firenze's words, Ronan finally calmed down, and began to turn his gaze to the position of the old patriarch,

At this moment, the old horse man with all his hair and beard turned white lit a dozen kinds of dry grass on the table, and then his hands were slightly closed, and a very special wave of magic power appeared in the smoke of the burning dry grass.

And the old horseman also slowly closed his eyes, as if he was feeling something.

After about 10 minutes, the smoke formed by the burning hay slowly dissipated, and the old horse man opened his eyes at this moment,
"Patriarch, what's the result?"

The impatient Ronan immediately asked.

The old horse man looked a little tired, took a sip of the water from Fei Zelun, and then replied with a very puzzled expression:

"It's a strange result of divination. I seem to see the destruction of the centaur and the rebirth of the centaur. Fate tells me that the future of the centaur will be related to a cat!"

"cat???"

Ronan and Fei Zelun showed unbelievable expressions at the same time,

"Patriarch, are you sure it's not a fire dragon, but a cat?"

Ronan felt that there was something wrong with the old patriarch's divination.

"The patriarch is the strongest fortune teller in our tribe, Ronan pays attention to your words!"

Although Fizelun was also puzzled, he didn't think there would be a problem with the patriarch's divination.

Although the centaurs are proficient in archery, divination and healing magic, each centaur has different talents in these three aspects.
For example, Ronan is the most talented in archery and fighting, and is also the most powerful centaur warrior in the centaur tribe, while Firenze and the old patriarch belong to the kind of centaur whose talent points are basically added to divination.

The old patriarch waved his hand towards Fezeren:
"It's okay, there have always been problems with divination these past few years. When I did the same divination two years ago, the instructions given by fate were the Dark Lord and Dumbledore from the wizarding world. I don't know why, but now they suddenly turned into cats.

Maybe it's just that I'm old, and there's something wrong with my divination ability! "
