The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon

Molten Fire City

This is the only pearl of the Red Earth Highlands, and it is still prosperous today.

Slightly different from a year ago, there are more and more non-human intelligent races in Molten Fire City today.

Half-elves, gray dwarves, orcs, dwarves, gnomes, dragonborn. You can almost see all the Karen races here.

Among them, the largest number is the increasingly prosperous Centaurs.

Their footprints are almost everywhere in Molten Fire City.

This makes the natives who have lived here for generations a little surprised and puzzled.

Needless to say, the security in Molten Fire City is safe.

There is one of the five-color legions of the kingdom: the Red Legion stationed here. Even the legendary strongmen dare not stir up trouble in Molten Fire City.

But outside the city, the situation is different.

All adventurers who live in or pass through the Red Earth Highlands know it.

To the west of Molten Fire City

In the Dragon Ridge Mountains that stretch for hundreds of miles, a huge Centaur tribe that is not inferior to the Red Legion is rising!

The leader of that group of centaurs, Iron Fist Kaz, is known as the second uncrowned king of the Red Soil Highlands!

As for who the first one is, there is no need to say more.

Old adventurers who have been stationed in the Red Soil Highlands for a long time know that

There was indeed a small centaur tribe with a population of less than a few hundred people living in the Dragon Ridge Mountains.

But that centaur tribe was weak, and its leader was just a mediocre gold-level centaur named "Kaz".

Let alone the Red Legion, even if a hundred-man mercenary group was sent casually, it would be enough to completely destroy the entire centaur tribe.

No one would care about such a small tribal group that can be seen everywhere - except those merchants who racked their brains to squeeze the last copper coin from their fur.

But now, everything has changed.

I don't know what happened.

In just one year, the weak centaur tribe has rapidly expanded from a scale of less than a thousand people to become the overlord of the entire Dragon Ridge Mountains.

The number of centaurs living in it has exceeded five digits in one fell swoop!

However, the most terrifying thing is not here.

After all, no matter how many small fish there are, they are just cannon fodder.

What really changed the attitude of the major forces in the Red Earth Highlands was a mercenary war.

The rise of the Centaurs will inevitably attract greedy eyes hidden in the dark.

As a widely circulated saying in the Star Realm: Horses cannot grow fat without night grass, and people cannot become rich without windfall.

Without the support of a large amount of wealth, it is obviously impossible for the Centaurs to expand rapidly.

And their behavior of using gold and gems to buy food and daily necessities from merchants in large quantities and never buying on credit also proves this from the side.

The Wolf Fang Mercenary Group, the third largest mercenary group in the Red Earth Highlands, which has thousands of members and many master-level combat forces stationed, has set its sights on this suddenly rising Centaurs.

After getting ready, the mighty human mercenary group left Molten City with a confident smile.

Everyone thought it would be a massacre.

After all, in order to take a bite of this piece of fat meat, the cautious Wild Wolf Mercenary Group not only purchased a large number of armors, but also purchased a large number of siege equipment including magic crystal cannons and siege crossbows!

For this reason, it once attracted the attention of the Red Legion.

After all, the magic crystal cannon is a strategic material. If it is hit by a shot without defense, even the legendary strongman will be severely damaged.

Unfortunately,

this time, the lead-filled dice of fate obviously did not favor this group of mercenaries.

The combat power of the Centaur Tribe is as they imagined, or even a little weaker.

Except for the strange little Centaur with a pure white body and natural magic that caused them a lot of trouble.

The entire Centaur Tribe retreated step by step under the iron hoof of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, and retreated into the hinterland of the Dragon Ridge Mountains in an instant, with almost no room for resistance.

However, just when a group of mercenaries were ready to enter the hinterland to kill them all.

A desperate scene appeared.

In the buffer zone between the Centaurs and the Wild Wolf Mercenaries

Accompanied by a deafening roar, two giant beasts tens of meters high fell down!

Experienced old mercenaries recognized the identities of the two beasts at a glance: [Male Sphinx] [Female Sphinx]

No one knows why the Sphinx, a beast that usually appears as a messenger of God, does not guard the treasure of God, but comes to protect a weak Centaurs.

But there is no doubt

The Wild Wolf Mercenaries, who lack this important information, will pay an unforgettable price for it.

[Immune to Charm]

[Immune to Psychic Damage]

[Immune to Magic Damage below 6 Rings]

[Immune to all blunt, piercing, and slashing damage of non-magical attacks]

A series of immunity abilities brings the Sphinx a terrifying combat power that is almost invincible at the same level!

In ancient mythology, this giant beast with a lion's body and a human face is even said to "feed on dragons and giants"!

Even the legendary golden dragon or the legendary red dragon will have a headache when seeing this kind of creature created by God.

The result of the battle also proved that this was not false.

"That was not a battle, but a complete massacre!"

An old mercenary who had escaped by chance, with scars all over his body from being burned by the flames, leaned against the wall and shouted hysterically to the people who had gathered around him.

His voice was dry and full of despair.

Someone handed him a glass of beer, and the old mercenary took it with a slight tremor and drank it down.

The slight relief brought by the drink could not change the fate of internal injuries. He soon lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

But before dying, the old mercenary still told everyone the information he knew.

Within the Longji Mountains

With the help of two legendary sphinxes

It only took half a day for the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, which had the overall situation under control, to completely collapse.

Even the leader of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, a powerful warrior close to the legendary level, jumped up from behind and attacked, but he was unable to leave a single wound on the female-faced Sphinx's skin that was as solid as gold. !

Don't break the defense!

No defense at all!

And at the same time

The female-faced Sphinx just flicked her tail and volleyed the mercenary captain into a ball of blood mist.

Afterwards, the results were needless to say.

The physical attacks they are best at are almost ineffective against sphinxes, and magical attacks can only work with magic above level 6.

After the whole battle

Except for the female-faced Sphinx who was slightly injured due to a careless start and was hit by a magic crystal cannon, the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group never caused any harm to the angry Sphinx couple.

But despite this, the battle losses of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group are not too exaggerated.

Although dozens of elite members were killed by the lion's claws at first, the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group quickly made a move to "disperse and escape" after reacting.

After all, there are only two sphinxes, but there are thousands of people in the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group.

Let alone humans, even if there were a thousand pigs running around on the ground, it would be extremely difficult to kill them all.

However, just when the mercenaries thought they could take advantage of the chaos and escape.

Their hopes were shattered by the ruthless reality.

The fleeing mercenaries soon discovered to their horror that they had fallen into a larger encirclement.

Holding war spears and covered in blood, the centaurs and horses wrapped the mercenaries one by one in the encirclement circle like dumplings. Each mercenary was targeted by war spears that were five times more than their own number.

Every centaur and horse stared at these intruders, with determination and anger in their eyes.

But in fact

Just an hour ago, this group of people was in a completely opposite state.

one hour ago.

"If you want to avoid being beaten, you must scare the enemy!"

In temporary war camp

The centurion leader Kaz’s voice was sonorous and powerful, trying to inspire the demoralized tribesmen around him.

However, facing the elite weapons and armors of humans, the group of wild horses and horses that had just gathered and merged were frightened.

"Patriarch, those humans are too powerful, there is no way we can defeat them."

A middle-aged man stood up and said with fear:

"Let's run while they are being held back! As long as we abandon those old and weak men, they won't be able to catch up with us."

Uh-huh!

Before he finished speaking, a silver blade passed by.

With a confused expression, a bright red head fell to the ground, hitting the ground hard with a dull sound.

"Bang"!

This sound resounded in the hearts of all horses.

Kaz slowly put the blood-stained stainless steel sword back into the sheath on his waist.

His eyes were like ice, showing an invisible pressure.

"We've been running away like cattle and sheep for too long!"

Kaz stared at the shocked tribesmen in front of him, his tone was firm and passionate:

"How long will it take for you to realize that only by fighting can you win dignity!"

"Now, Mr. Spike and Ms. Ortega are fighting bloody battles for us, are you just going to sit back and wait for death?"

He glared at everyone and his voice became more and more passionate:

"Are you going to choose to be a coward for the rest of your life, or are you going to be a true warrior at this moment?"

At this moment, a petite figure squeezed out of the crowd.

It was Lilia.

Her voice was clear and firm: "Lilia doesn't want to be a coward, let alone abandon those grandparents!"

The small figure looked particularly awkward among the tall tribesmen, but the face with baby fat was full of seriousness and bravery.

Although her snow-white hair was covered in blood, the luster flowing on it still showed her fearless temperament.

Seeing this young girl stand up, the hesitant warriors suddenly felt extremely ashamed.

Am I not as courageous as a young child?

"I don't want to be a coward!"

"Yes, I don't want to be a coward, I want to be a warrior!"

"Fight his mother! Fight those bastards to the end!"

With the first roar

More and more centaurs soldiers began to raise their spears.

Angry roars echoed throughout the makeshift camp.

"In that case, what are you waiting for?!"

Kaz raised his arms and roared, his voice as shocking as a war drum:

"Warriors, use the spears in your hands to leave the memory of blood on those greedy guys. Victory will only belong to the centaurs!"

"Everyone, change direction and charge with me!"

As soon as the words fell, Kaz was the first to rush towards the direction where the mercenaries were fighting the Sphinx couple.

This roar rekindled the fighting spirit of the men and horses like a flame, and the deep-seated courage was inspired at this moment.

For the sake of longer-term peace, Kaz brazenly led the remaining thousands of injured Centaur tribe members to counterattack the human mercenaries who had defeated them, regardless of the opposition of the original Centaur tribe leaders from other merged tribes.

And the facts also prove two things:

One: The four-legged centaurs are indeed much faster than the two-legged humans.

Two: The difference in combat power between the mercenaries who are united and organized and the collapsed mercenaries is completely different.

With almost no effort

The Centaurs tribe surrounded the fleeing mercenaries, and drove dozens of humans into a group like herding cattle and sheep.

Then, the spears were raised!

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Spears flying

In the desperate pupils of the mercenaries, countless spears filled the entire field of vision like raindrops. (End of this chapter)
