defeated?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Bert asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to know the answer to this question too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivan lay on a stretcher the Lion-kin warriors had improvised from a few pieces of wood, finding it difficult even to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Prince Bert’s words, Ivan opened his mouth with great effort:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Am... bush...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ambush!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Bert’s eyes narrowed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not stupid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ivan said \"ambush\" now, he certainly didn't mean they had ambushed that Centaur unit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It meant that Centaur unit had ambushed them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Centaur unit actually dared to take the initiative to ambush a Lion-kin force twice their size!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were far too bold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, inexplicably, Prince Bert felt a weight lift from his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Prince Bert had assumed that Centaur unit had crushed the force led by Ivan on the open battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now it seemed that Centaur unit had used an ambush!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One should not underestimate ambush tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When one side is prepared and the other is not, the results can be vastly different!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the battle in the canyon where the Fox-kin ambushed the Centaur-kin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By being prepared, they had beaten the Centaur-kin until they had no power to fight back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enemy chose the battlefield, the enemy chose the time, and while they were charging, you were still gathering your troops!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the ambushing side can often win with fewer numbers, or even defeat the strong with the weak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Prince Bert’s mood relaxed significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that Centaur unit wasn't truly heaven-defying yet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he caught up to them, he would definitely let these Centaurs know the power of Prince Bert!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Royal City force he was leading numbered as high as three thousand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Bert subconsciously ignored the issue of troop numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, if he were only leading one thousand Royal City troops right now, he might not have felt so secure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ivan, where have they gone now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Bert asked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivan’s lion face was covered in blood, and his consciousness was already very blurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at him, he had only one breath left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Prince Bert’s words, he didn't know what he thought of, but his eyes suddenly widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick... run quickly, their... target... is afraid... it is you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ivan summoned his final strength to say this sentence, then his head tilted to the side, and he breathed his last!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his words were intermittent and sounded blurry, Prince Bert had heard them all clearly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their target is afraid it is you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This \"you,\" naturally, referred to Prince Bert!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The target is me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Bert stood up with a huff and looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here was a vast grassland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, his troops were divided into two parts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About a thousand warriors were scattered across the grassland, dragging the corpses of the dead Lion-kin warriors together for centralized processing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a Lion-kin tradition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As warriors of the \"Royal Clan,\" even if they died, their bodies would be handled properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were nearly two thousand more warriors sitting on the grassland resting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several days of rushing and pursuing, these Lion-kin warriors, even as elites of the Royal City, were somewhat exhausted despite their good stamina!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was not a shadow of a Centaur to be seen around the grassland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, after hearing Leader Ivan’s dying words, Prince Bert felt a faint sense of unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell them all to get up, stay alert, and recall all the scattered warriors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Bert ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Your Highness!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several subordinates began to relay the orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, suddenly, a dazzling light flashed over, making Prince Bert’s eyes blur!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was Prince Bert dazzled, but many Lion-kin warriors on the grassland were also dazzled!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is going on!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Bert turned toward the direction the light was coming from, and his eyes suddenly widened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Highness, Cen... Centaurs!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, his deputy’s horrified voice rang out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Centaurs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Centaurs had come!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Centaur warriors were lined up in a long row, standing on a small hill on the east side of the grassland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already afternoon, the sun had set to the west, and the sunlight shining on the bright armor of these Centaur warriors reflected into the eyes of some Lion-kin warriors on the grassland, which was why it was so dazzling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Centaur warriors had already lifted their hooves and begun to charge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Bert finally understood Leader Ivan’s dying words completely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this Centaur unit ambushed Leader Ivan’s force, they hadn't fled at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, they were actually coming to ambush him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The target of this Centaur unit was, shockingly, him, Prince Bert!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prepare for battle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Bert realized everything and let out a roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Battle!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside Prince Bert, those deputies responsible for relaying orders roared until their voices were hoarse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lion-kin warriors who had been sitting down stood up one after another, picked up their weapons, and stood ready!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And on the grassland, those scattered Lion-kin warriors were still desperately trying to gather toward the main force!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rumble!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Centaurs were coming!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They charged down from that small hill from a high vantage point, and the ground began to vibrate because of their charge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow me and kill!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince Bert raised his great blade, which was four or five meters long, and took the lead, actively meeting the Centaur warriors!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his troops were not all gathered together, he still had nearly two thousand Royal City elites by his side!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would let these guys know that he, Prince Bert, was not someone to be trifled with!!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Once we eat this tail that has been following us for days, we can head back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the small hill on the east side of the grassland, Xiang Sister Sister Mengying sat on the back of the Centaur Chief, looking down below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike what Leader Ivan and Prince Bert thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Sister Sister Mengying had no idea there was a Lion-kin prince in this unit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, even if she knew, she wouldn't care.\u003C\u002Fp>",1020,"2026-06-16T04:54:04.764Z","2026-06-16T06:25:28.214Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","acd8c99bb56e2897d476e20844712b5153546d53acec9141707b67d9c9f99bdf","evolution-starting-from-a-flame-chapter-58","evolution-starting-from-a-flame-chapter-56",951,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevolution-starting-from-a-flame-cover.jpg"]
