Chapter 79: Here They Come Again! The Nightmare of the Lion Tribe Warriors!

The marching speed of the City of Miracles' army naturally could not keep up with the Lion Tribe.

However, they were all warriors who had been blessed by the Lord of Flames, and their physical quality was a big step stronger than before.

Therefore, just two days later, this army of forty thousand had arrived at the former territory of the Cat Tribe.

Immediately after, scouts were sent out in all directions.

The Lion Tribe also sent out many scouts.

But the Lion Tribe's scouts did not engage in battle with the City of Miracles' scouts; they saw them from afar and avoided them.

Even if they wanted to fight, they couldn't win, because the City of Miracles' scouts were centaur warriors in full armor; in a one-on-one situation, the disadvantage in equipment was too great, and being a tier higher didn't help because they couldn't break the armor!

The fox-girl Qing Ling led the army in person this time.

After arriving at the former territory of the Cat Tribe, the fox-girl Qing Ling ordered the entire army to rest.

The entire army rested in the Cat Tribe's territory for one night, and early the next morning, they marched toward the Lion Tribe's territory in a grand manner.

In the morning, the army passed through Lion Pass.

Lion Pass was originally the western gateway of the Lion Tribe, but after it was destroyed by Sister Sister Mengying, the Lion Tribe did not rebuild Lion Pass, nor did they place a single soldier there.

"Report, Lady Saintess, according to scouts, the majority of the Lion Tribe should be in the forest near that lake."

After the army marched for some time, a scout came to report.

"That is the Blue Lake Forest; we once fought the Lion Tribe there, and the terrain there is very suitable for the Lion Tribe to perform."

The tiger Winnie said.

The fox-girl Qing Ling nodded and said, "Is that forest lush with vegetation?"

Winnie shook her head and said, "The vegetation there is sparse, and the terrain is complex; even with fire, it is difficult to ignite. If we enter the Blue Lake Forest, our troops will be cut off, and we will lose our advantage, turning into small-scale engagements with the Lion Tribe warriors. The centaur warriors and Bear Tribe warriors would not have too much of a problem, but the fox-men, cat-men, and elk tribe will be defeated by the Lion Tribe!"

The fox-girl Qing Ling understood.

The Blue Lake Forest, while called a forest, is better described as a stone forest.

It is a very vast forest.

Sister Sister Mengying only brought a thousand people before, and it had no impact in the Blue Lake Forest.

But now, there are forty thousand people here.

Once they enter the Blue Lake Forest, this army of forty thousand will be cut into small groups of one or two thousand, or even smaller units.

Because the terrain cannot be spread out.

Once cut off, the fox-men and cat-men, who are mainly archers, will easily be defeated one by one by the Lion Tribe warriors.

You must know that in places with complex terrain, archers are not so easy to perform.

The Lion Tribe warriors are also not dense, so explosive arrows cannot cause large-scale damage; besides, they can find cover at any time.

For a 100-energy-point explosive arrow, a Lion Tribe warrior only needs to find a large rock to block it!

Winnie said, "This old lion is indeed shrewd. This forest is very wide; to the south of the forest is a lake, so one can only detour from the north, which would be a long way around, and the north is a large snowy mountain, which is even more unfavorable for marching. The battlefield this old lion chose is extremely unfavorable for us!"

"No, it is favorable for us!"

At this moment, Sister Sister Mengying spoke up.

The fox-girl Qing Ling looked at her.

Sister Sister Mengying looked to the east and said, "The Blue Lake Forest cut us off, but it also cut them off. In such a large forest, seventy thousand Lion Tribe warriors are scattered; in each area, the scattered warriors are not many. So, let me go and force their warriors to come out and fight!"

"You go?"

Winnie was slightly stunned.

Sister Sister Mengying nodded and looked at the centaur chieftain: "Interested in running another trip?"

The centaur chieftain heard Sister Sister Mengying's words, instantly understood, and said happily, "Of course, Lady Sister Sister Mengying!"

Winnie frowned slightly and said, "I understand, you are preparing to take a small force in to kill the enemy? With your strength, you can indeed kill a large number of Lion Tribe warriors in a very short time, but you are a mage, and there is a Tier 6 warrior on the other side, as well as a High Priest who is at least Tier 6, and there are seventy thousand Lion Tribe warriors inside. What if you get trapped?"

Sister Sister Mengying smiled slightly and said, "Auntie Winnie, don't worry, please protect the Saintess, so as not to let the other side send Tier 6 warriors to carry out a surprise attack on us."

After saying this, she said, "Chieftain, gather the warriors!"

The centaur chieftain nodded and said, "Okay!"

"The armies of those few tribes should be arriving soon, right?"

In the camp in the Blue Lake Forest, the old Lion King asked.

"Reporting to the King, they have reached the high ground a few kilometers away and have set up camp there."

A subordinate reported.

"Set up camp? They are cautious, but we have our territory at our back and can be resupplied at any time. They are fighting thousands of miles away; let's see what they have for supplies. Hmph, they have not escaped the category of beasts after all; they don't even know the most important factor in fighting a war."

The old Lion King snorted lightly and then said, "Notify the thousand-man unit hidden in the Kobold ruins and have them be responsible for cutting off their supply lines."

"Yes, the King is wise!"

The subordinate had just finished flattering the old Lion King when, outside, a messenger shouted:

"King, they are attacking!"

"Attacking? Quick, blow the horn!"

The old Lion King stood up with a "thump."

"King, but their numbers are very small; it looks like only a thousand centaurs. According to our observations, that thousand centaur warriors might be the same one that was in our territory before."

The messenger continued.

"Courting death!"

The old Lion King's gaze turned cold, and it said, "Bring me my blade; I want to wipe out these centaurs!"

On the grassland, a thousand centaur warriors charged toward the Blue Lake Forest.

In the Blue Lake Forest, the Lion Tribe warriors looked at this centaur unit, and they were all a bit confused.

Yes, they were a bit bewildered.

In the Blue Lake Forest, there was a seventy-thousand-strong Lion Tribe army.

Even if this seventy-thousand-strong Lion Tribe army was very scattered, it was still a seventy-thousand-strong army.

Yet these guys, with this few people, dared to attack?

Or were they purely sent to probe, to die?

No matter how confused these Lion Tribe warriors were, since the enemy had come, they had to fight.

That thousand centaurs rushed toward an entrance in the middle of the Blue Lake Forest.

That entrance was quite wide, but after entering, a thousand people could barely spread out; if forty thousand came in... they wouldn't fit at all and would have to be divided into many pieces.

This was the Lion Tribe warriors' opportunity.

Although the old Lion King had many backup plans, its combat experience was very rich, and it utilized both the timing and the terrain.

This was also the reason why it could lead the Lion Tribe to prosperity.

After the thousand centaurs rushed into the entrance, a large number of Lion Tribe warriors appeared around them.

"Kill them."

These Lion Tribe warriors excitedly threw spears at the thousand centaurs.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a large number of fireballs flew toward these Lion Tribe warriors, instantly killing over a hundred of the emerging Lion Tribe warriors.

"There's a mage, retreat quickly!"

These Lion Tribe warriors fled one after another.

The thousand centaurs did not stop at all, nor did they pursue, continuing to penetrate deeper along the Blue Lake Forest.

Along the way, they rarely attacked; the only one attacking was Sister Sister Mengying on the back of the centaur chieftain.

But Sister Sister Mengying's attacks were too terrifying.

She didn't use high-power moves at all.

Just a simple fireball spell, one strike could kill over a hundred people.

This is the terrifying aspect of a Magus.

Those Lion Tribe warriors were quite clever; every time Sister Sister Mengying attacked at most two or three times, these Lion Tribe warriors would dive into the complex terrain to hide.

Sister Sister Mengying had no intention of pursuing; the centaur chieftain carried her, running toward the depths of the Blue Lake Forest.

Looking at it this way, Sister Sister Mengying was actually preparing to tour the entire Blue Lake Forest!

"The mage from that city who killed Aldington has come; so powerful, one strike and over a hundred of our brothers died!"

"More than that, the thousand centaurs who ravaged our territory, killed several thousand people, and even killed Prince Bert have come again; too arrogant, we have seventy thousand people, and they actually dare to come in!"

Not long after, the news of the arrival of the mage who killed Aldington and the thousand centaurs spread throughout the Blue Lake Forest.

It brought huge panic to these Lion Tribe warriors!

"They're here again, they're here again!"

In the Lion Tribe army, those Lion Tribe warriors who had seen Prince Bert being killed with their own eyes trembled and said.

That thousand centaurs and that mage had already become their nightmare!
