Chapter 39 Post-war liquidation(4000 words)(1/2)
The battle lasted less than two hours and ended. This was something no one expected. It was not even daylight yet.
Even Allen thought this would be a protracted tribal war, because as long as some centaurs escaped, it would be difficult to catch them with their mobility. By then, the Black Dragon Clan would continue to suffer from centaurs.
Harassment.
However, being able to completely annihilate the Centaur tribe this time was unexpected, but the result was still good.
In the final analysis, it was because of Ahsheli's stupidity and arrogance, otherwise he would not have been blocked in a small corner by the Black Dragon Clan.
"Take stock of the battlefield!"
Allen did not bring Bachov and Giovanni with him this time. They are now equivalent to Allen's personal butlers, and Allen left them behind to take care of the camp.
Therefore, the task of inventorying the battlefield was given to Zhuo Ka, and all the captured centaurs were handed over to the care of the armored lizard.
One stone pillar after another rose up from the ground, like a cage, locking all the centaurs inside.
Allen quietly waited for the counting results. Fortunately, although Zhuo Ka couldn't write, he could still count.
"Our clan suffered nearly 500 casualties and captured more than 1,700 centaurs."
Allen brought a total of more than 3,000 people in this crusade against the centaurs, which means that the battle losses were about 15%, but Allen did not feel it was a pity at all, because more than 90% of the dead were kobolds and goblins.
, there are as many such weak monsters as there are.
While looking for loot, the gnoll Ruben found hundreds of fine animal skins, more than a hundred kilograms of raw gold, and more than a dozen tons of grain from the centaur camp.
Allen was very happy to find food here. This was an unexpected surprise. Although it was not much, it also meant that the Black Dragon Clan could plant more land.
There is not a single hole in the hundreds of animal skins. It is estimated that the bow and arrow were shot directly into the animal's eyes during hunting, but now it belongs to Allen.
He wanted to take it back to make clothes for the humans in the clan. The weather would get colder in a month, and many humans in the clan didn't even have any decent clothes, so they relied on some rags to cover their embarrassing places.
As for the last 100 kilograms of raw gold, this thing is of no use to Allen. Although Allen is a black dragon, he is not particularly yearning for money.
Ruben thought that Allen would focus on gold, and specially sent someone to guard it, intending to show his courtesy, but Allen's reaction disappointed him.
The next step was to deal with the prisoners of war. Allen had wanted to conquer the Centaurs before, but he didn't expect it to start in this form.
"Who among you has the most truth now?" The leader of the centaur clan, Ahsheli, is dead, and now he has to choose someone who can talk to Allen.
All the centaurs were looking at an older woman, Ahsheli's wife, Ashley.
She is said to be older just because she looks more mature. Centaur males who lose the ability to hunt and females who are infertile will be kicked out of the group, so there are no old people in this group.
"Okay, it's up to you, Zhuo Ka goes and brings her out."
Ashley was soon brought out. The centaurs behind her gathered around the stone pillar and watched her. They put all their hopes on Ashley.
This is the first time Allen has looked at the centaur race. Their lower bodies are the four hooves and body of a horse, covered with hair. The upper half of their bodies are the same as humans, and they need to wear clothes made of animal skins to keep warm.
If you ignore her lower body, Ashley is simply a charming and graceful beauty, which makes people have an impulsive desire.
Even if Allen doesn't use the dragon's ability to appreciate everything, he still thinks that Ashley's appearance can be called beautiful. Sure enough, she is worthy of being a woman who can become the leader of the tribe.
While Ashley was being looked at by Alan, she kept her head down the whole time, as if she was letting him do whatever he wanted. In her impression, the black dragon is a lewd and lustful creature (in fact, all dragons are like this)
If Allen takes a fancy to her and can save the Centaur clan, she doesn't mind giving in to Allen.
It's a pity that her calculations were in vain. Allen is just a young black dragon now. To put it in the vernacular: he can't do it now!
"You can survive, but there is a prerequisite!" Allen said.
"What conditions?" When she heard that the centaurs could survive, Ashley's eyes seemed to light up. She was willing to hand over herself to the other party.
"Hand over all of you who attacked the Black Dragon Clan in the first half of the night, or you will all die." Alan calmly said the conditions that were extremely cruel to Ashley.
"Can you change one? I, I am willing to be loyal to you on behalf of the entire centaur clan and willing to be your slave!" Ashley began to panic, because those who attacked the Black Dragon clan in the middle of the night were basically young and strong males of the clan.
, they have lost enough males tonight, they cannot afford to die again.
"You don't have to identify them for us, but we can kill them ourselves, but in order not to let a single criminal go, we will kill all the centaurs!" Allen's statement did not give her any room for bargaining.
Ashley knelt on the ground, she had burst into tears! Asking her to identify her tribe members and die, this choice was simply more uncomfortable for her than killing her.
"Zhuoka, don't worry about going in and killing some until she is willing to identify you." Allen gave a cold order.
As Allen's loyal subordinate, Zhuo Ka will execute it immediately.
"No! I am willing to identify, I am willing to identify!" Ashley's cry did not make Zhuoka stop, because he only listened to Allen's orders.
"Stop!" Just when Zhuo Ka was about to enter the cage, Allen stopped him.
Ashley, who was about to collapse, could only raise her finger, which seemed to be as heavy as gold, at Zhuoka's urging. Every male centaur she clicked fell into despair.
They stared at Ashley with hateful eyes, and Ashley lowered her head. She felt that this look could kill her.
There was no doubt that the centaurs she had chosen were all captured by the steel-armored lizards from their cages. Their hooves were connected together by a one-meter-long rope, which prevented them from taking too big steps.
You can't escape.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
…
They were lined up in a row and had their heads chopped off by steel-armored lizards. Ashley simply couldn't bear to watch that scene.
"That's all?" Allen asked.
"That's all, you've killed all the others!" Ashley's tears flowed out, and the look of pear blossoms with rain only made people feel sad.
So Ai Lun plans to make her shed more tears!
"Zhuoka, randomly select thirty more to kill, regardless of gender." The number of centaurs just killed was less than 20, so how could Allen believe what she said?
"No, I was wrong, I shouldn't have lied, give me another chance!" Ashley wanted to rush over and hug Allen's front legs, but Hal kicked her back.
How could he let hostile captives get close to his king?
Ashley's begging for mercy had no effect at all. 30 centaurs, regardless of gender, were lined up and all were beheaded.
"Go on! I believe the cost of lying doesn't need to be repeated, right?" Allen asked Ashley to continue identifying.
She seemed to have lost her soul, pointing out one clan member after another with an expressionless face.
There is no doubt that the tribesmen she pointed out must have been pulled out and killed.
In the end, she returned to Allen and said with a pleading voice: "No more, really no more!"
Regardless of whether it is true or not, this woman's psychological defense has been defeated by Allen, and she will never be able to muster the determination to resist Allen in the future.
"Okay, from now on the Centaur tribe will be merged into the Black Dragon Clan, please come and choose an excellent leader for me!" Allen said with a smile, as if he was not the one who gave the cold order just now.
Ashley looked at her eldest son. Because he was not yet an adult, he did not participate in the operation in the first half of the night. However, her son was now looking at her with puzzled eyes, as if asking her why she wanted to kill the clan members.
Hand it over.
Ashley hesitated, then pointed to another strong male centaur.
"Okay! Kill him, and kill the little one too!" Allen just noticed that Ashley's eyes stayed on him for a moment.
"No! You can't do this, you don't keep your word!" Ashley collapsed and began to scold Alan. Her son was also going to die, and she felt that she had nothing to worry about.
"I am helping you, and you will understand later, so I decided to make you the leader of the Centaur clan." Allen had an evil smile on his lips.
"You have to know, I didn't want this to happen, but who made you attack my clan first and massacre my civilians?"
"You broke into my home first, so you are the one who invaded." Ashley said with an extremely spiteful voice.
"What does it mean to be your home? You just took advantage of the red dragon's sleep to occupy his territory. And I am stronger, so I can become the new master here."
"So, don't think about resisting me, you know? You have to think about how much you have paid today!"
Ashley's eyes revealed fear. She had lost too many things today, including her husband, her son, and more than 70% of the males in her tribe.
There are now less than 400 males left in the centaur clan, and half of them are still underage.
Everything Allen just did was done in front of all the Black Dragon clan, including the goblin.
He was so excited right now that he was worthy of being an evil and treacherous black dragon. He could make a leader fall into despair with just his words.
Nick could imagine that in the future, the Centaur tribe would always be trapped in conflicts between tribesmen and their leaders. They would not trust each other, and internal fighting would break out within their tribe, so no one would focus on resisting the black dragon.
.
Allen only needs to intervene when necessary to control this group.
Nick is determined to follow Allen, and he needs a chance to express himself.
So he walked up to Allen: "Your Majesty! There is another way to completely master the centaur species!"
Allen still remembered this goblin, and he asked with interest: "Oh? Is there any other way?"
The black dragon still remembers himself! Nick was even more excited. He didn't know why this happened. Maybe it was because of the worship of the evil dragon!
"Female centaurs have the habit of protecting their cubs. As long as we control the young centaurs, we can force them to surrender."
Allen thought for a while, and now more than 70% of this group are female centaurs, so this goblin plan has a great chance of success.
"Very good method, you are very good!" Allen only praised him and did not express anything else.
