Seeing it gnashing its teeth as if it wanted to kill Kulu quickly, it didn't look like it was just pretending. It should be because it really had deep hatred and grudges.
So Guo Zheng asked: "Is there anyone in your Centaur tribe who objects to forming an alliance with the Undead?"
Upon hearing this, the leading centaur immediately said: "Of course I object! And there are still quite a few people who object. Who is willing to form an alliance with such an insidious, cunning, and cruel creature! And is that considered an alliance? Then It’s like being enslaved!”
The centaur continued: "In addition to the clan leader, there is also the Elder Council in our centaur clan, and some highly respected elders or people with outstanding military exploits can serve. There are eight members in total, and there are nine people in total including the clan leader. Major matters in the Centaur clan are decided by the votes of these nine people, and once more than half of the opposition votes are received, even the clan leader is not qualified to act arbitrarily, otherwise he will be deposed."
Guo Zheng nodded while listening. This kind of decentralization can indeed provide better checks and balances to prevent one family from becoming dominant.
The Centaur continued: "It was the clan leader who proposed an alliance with the Undead. Only a few three Centaur generals with outstanding military exploits agreed, because they always felt that our Centaur clan was driven into Austria by the High Mountain Giants and Bear Men. The Si Mountains are a shame, and I have always wanted to fight back to take revenge, and then occupy the entire oasis.”
At this time, Yi'er listened and asked: "Don't you think it's a shame to be driven out of your former homeland by the other two tribes?"
At this time, the centaur was stunned. He did not expect that the human mage would suddenly ask this question, so he shook his head and said: "We don't think this is a shame. On the contrary, I also feel that we are responsible for all this."
The centaur sighed and said: "In fact, under the leadership of our previous clan leader Agula, our centaur clan, the bear clan and the high mountain giant clan all lived in peace, and there were even some major conflicts. On festivals, our three clans would gather together to celebrate. At that time, the oasis was really a peaceful and peaceful home. Later, the Agula clan leader passed away. At that time, many people in the clan were optimistic about Kuru. He was our centaur at that time. The first warrior of the clan, and Kulu pretended to be a humble gentleman at that time, so he deceived many people. Later, Kuru was elected as our clan leader. Kuru became the leader of the clan and revealed himself little by little. In order to suppress his ambition, he felt that we Centaurs were the masters of the entire oasis and should have exclusive access to this oasis. At that time, he planned to drive the Ursines to the Dark Woods and the High Mountain Giants to the Ost Mountains. After achieving his goal, he began to promote a large number of his party members and those centaurs who had the same idea as him, and began to expand the army to prepare for this goal."
"Does it mean that you elders just let it go?" Qinqin asked.
The centaur continued: "Otherwise, it is our own fault. At that time, the elders were also intoxicated with Kulu's plan. Who didn't want to enjoy the oasis of paradise to themselves, so the whole clan was very motivated at that time. We are working hard for this goal, training day and night. At the same time, we are also looking for supplies and materials to build weapons and armor. After that, we started to attack the Ursines first. Although these Ursines are Ursines, many of them are Ursines. Mainly based on magic, there are not many strong soldiers, but the high mountain giants are just the opposite. They started out looking for trouble to create some minor frictions, and then gradually turned into local conflicts, and finally broke out into a war with the Ursine tribe. In the battle between us, we were evenly matched at the beginning, but the Ursines are mainly mages after all. As time went on, we gained the upper hand. Later, Kuru found an opportunity to launch a charge. Once the distance was closed, those Ursine mages were not Our opponents, at that time we rushed forward and killed many Ursine tribesmen. Just when we had the chance to annihilate them all, the High Mountain Giants came. They and the Ursine tribe combined to defeat us and drive us away. Out of the oasis... Later we found out that when Kulu was expanding its army and collecting supplies, they had already noticed our ambitions. If we hadn't been obsessed with it at the beginning... maybe we would... today..." said the name here The centaur paused and his eyes looked a little hollow, as if he was thinking about something.
"What happened after that? What happened after you were driven to the Aussie Mountains?" Qian Mo continued to ask.
The centaur drank some water and continued: "Later we were driven to the Oss Mountains. Although the result was a bit tragic, at least we could continue to live. Although this mountain range is not as good as an oasis with rich water and grass, at least it The environment was not too bad, and many of our tribesmen also woke up after the defeat. We could have lived a peaceful, wealthy and peaceful life as before, but we paid the price because of our ambition and greed, including a large part of our Elder Council. The elder also reflected on it. Originally, Kulu became sober because of this failure, but who knew that an accidental opportunity would bring him into contact with the undead tribe... From then on, everything became different. He felt that he He has a strong backing... He has the ability to continue to make a comeback..."
"Don't you want to change the clan leader?" Guo Zheng asked.
The centaur continued: "I want to, of course I want to, but there is no way. We suffered heavy casualties in the previous battle, and many of the people who survived were also Kuru's men. We, the centaur, really can't withstand a battle. There is a civil war. So we have no choice but to continue to let him serve as the clan leader."
After that, the centaur became more and more excited as he spoke. He stood up involuntarily and said impassionedly: "Later, when the request to form an alliance with the Undead was raised, the five elders of the Council of Elders firmly opposed it. We already have the reputation of the Undead. What's more, those undead tribe want us to occupy the oasis and use the oasis as a base to attack the Holy Light City of the Holy Light Empire. How can we agree? The great war between good and evil was precisely because of King Lion of the Holy Light Empire. Heart King Raul led the Holy Light City troops to keep out the undead, which saved our oasis from the baptism of war. How could we repay kindness with hatred. But Kulu didn't think so. He only wanted to avenge his shame. He wanted to take revenge, but the five elders rejected him, so he held a grudge. Because Kulu controlled the army, he came hard and surrounded the families of the five elders. Among them, the elder would rather die than surrender and refused to agree to his decision, so he. ...he..."
Speaking of this, the centaur's eye circles were a little red and his whole body was shaking. He was obviously very angry and said: "He became ruthless and ransacked the great elder's house and wiped out his family. Then he took the great elder's head to the rest of the family. An elder's family was forced to agree to Kuru's request. Later, the undead tribe came. They used evil spells to make our centaur warriors lose their minds little by little, becoming irritable, impulsive, bloodthirsty, and warlike. . However, such warriors are exactly what Kuru wants. In order to achieve his goal, Kuru also asked the undead to take away all the old, weak, sick and disabled in our tribe as sacrifices for their evil spells. I heard that later Archbishop Eliade of the City of Holy Light noticed it, and these undead became more at ease. From arriving in person at first, they ended up sending letters. However, Kuru has completely become a revenge machine, obeying their words. There will be more cruel things later..."
Everyone who heard these words was shocked. They did not expect that Kuru, as the leader of the tribe, could be so cruel. . The methods of the undead are also very evil. . .
"And... is there anything more cruel??" Qinqin's eyes widened and she covered her mouth with her hands in disbelief. In her impression, these were scenes that only appeared in movies and TV shows. . I didn't expect that such a tragic thing would happen in the game, and the centaur said that there would be even more cruel things later. . Qinqin even didn’t want to hear it. . .
At this time, the centaur began to pace on the ground. It seemed that what he was going to say next was something he did not want to mention.
