Chapter 634 The royal court is weak and the grassland where order collapses
The next day, early morning.
Ayabel Prairie, Baiwei King City.
Near the palace, in a luxurious mansion.
The contemporary "Centaur Sword", a centaur warrior in the late Nine Palaces class - Wells Chiron, was currently wearing a purple uniform, sitting in his study, and was reading several military reports.
The reports are much the same.
It's all about the fact that some small centaur tribes outside have been plundered and enslaved by the three major beast tribes in recent days.
"Bang!"
Wells looked at the several reports in his hand with a gloomy expression, and couldn't help but slap the reports on the desk.
The three major beast tribes are going too far.
Especially the tauren clan, those guys only looted in the first two months and did not enslave the centaurs.
However, in the past two months, the Tauren clan has intensified. Not only did they loot the tribes, but they also captured the centaurs from those tribes and made them slaves.
"Squeak——"
Suddenly, the door to the study room was pushed open from the outside.
"Um?!"
Wells' expression suddenly changed, he suddenly looked up, and then looked at the person coming, but was slightly startled, "Li Guanqi?"
The person who walked in through the door was none other than Li Guanqi, dressed in black with white hair and blue eyes.
"You, how did you do that?"
Wells was a little stunned, "I didn't notice your infiltration at all... huh? Who is she?"
As he spoke, the centaur general turned his head slightly and looked at the red-haired woman behind Li Guanqi, frowning slightly.
"A friend of mine."
Li Guanqi walked into the room and came to Wells, "It doesn't matter who she is, what matters is that I have something to do with you."
"Is something wrong?"
Wells withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Guanqi with a frown, "I remember, when you left last time, you said that dragons would come to the grassland, and now where are the dragons? You also said that the next time we meet, it will be a big scene, but this is the result?
If there is one more red-haired woman, does it count as a big scene?"
"That sentence is what I said to Qiupu and Misha. It has nothing to do with you."
When Li Guanqi heard this, he just smiled and said, "I just came to see you today, and I didn't see them. It doesn't count as breaking my promise. As for the Dragon Clan, you will see them soon."
"..."
Wells was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Human, I can only continue to trust you. Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Give me the information on the major tribes in the grassland."
Li Guanqi stretched out his right hand, "Especially for the Tauren clan, where is the King of the Tauren now?"
"He guards Xuanye King City all year round and rarely goes out. As for information..."
After speaking, Wells took out a small, delicate black box from the space necklace, forced a drop of blood from his fingertips and dropped it onto it.
"Buzz——"
The small black box shimmered slightly, as if something inside was activated.
"It's all here."
Wells placed the small black box on the table, "The power of the soul is released, just touch it."
Li Guanqi immediately followed suit.
He released a ray of soul power and gently touched the black box, and then a large amount of information appeared in his mind, all of which were military intelligence about the major tribes in the grassland, including information about the Beimang Royal Court.
Of course, what he is most concerned about right now is the tauren clan.
The royal city of the Tauren clan is called Xuanye.
If this Centaur information is correct, then in the Xuanye King City now, apart from the Minotaur King, there are only 5 Jiugong-level Minotaurs from the Minos clan.
"very good."
Li Guanqi took back his soul power and nodded lightly.
"How is Misha now?"
Then, Li Guanqi looked at Wells in front of him, "Is there anything strange about the 'Centaur Staff' Ant?"
"It's okay for now."
Wells said solemnly, "But if it continues to be delayed, it will be difficult to say."
"I won't delay it any longer."
Li Guanqi turned around and left, turning his back to the centaur general and waving his hand, "In 2 days, 2 days at most, you will see the results you dream of."
"See you in two days, Wells."
…
…
Ayabel steppe, southeast.
On the endless green plain, there is a towering black city sitting on the horizon. The early morning sun shines down, making the cracks in the bricks and tiles on the city wall mottled and worn, making it more clear.
This is the royal city of the Tauren clan—Xuanye!
At this time, the south gate of Xuanye King City was wide open, and a long queue composed of various orcs and prairie people lined up outside, either merchants or tourists, all waiting for inspection and release by the gate guards.
In the middle of the queue outside the city, there was a man and woman standing side by side.
The man has healthy wheat-colored skin, shoulder-length black hair tied into more than a dozen tiny braids, and wears a sleeveless black robe, which fully displays his strong shoulders and arms with full muscle lines.
Wheat-colored skin, male braid, sleeveless robe, muscular shoulders and arms.
Standard prairie people characteristics.
The woman next to him was wearing a long white dress, with red hair reaching her waist, and fair and pink skin. She looked like a beautiful girl from Daluo.
However, in this day and age, it is not surprising that Daluo women appear on the grassland. In this long queue alone, there are no less than 10 Daluo people and 20 Westerners.
"Let's determine the spatial coordinates?"
The red-haired beauty is naturally a dragon halberd in human form.
She looked at Li Guanqi beside her and did not speak or make a sound. Instead, she used the soul connection between the artifact and the host to communicate.
"Yes, I need to determine the spatial coordinates of the location in the city to open the space portal, and I also need to see if the Tauren King is here. For things like intelligence, I still need to conduct an on-site investigation."
The man on the grassland next to Dragon Halberd was Li Guanqi, who used the transformation spell and used the Ares divine armor to cover his cultivation.
He raised his head slightly and looked at the towering black city wall in the distance. His brown eyes narrowed slightly, and his mood suddenly became a little complicated.
Xuanye, the territory of the Minotaurs, is also the royal city of the Minotaur clan.
In two days, he will launch an attack on this giant city and start his first battle to conquer the world.
War, war.
He used to hate war, but now, he has become a participant in war.
"By the way, why do we have to line up?"
Long Ji glanced at the long queue, feeling a little impatient.
"Because I don't want to alert the enemy."
Li Guanqi looked calm, "A place like Xuanye King City is covered by formations. If you sneak in from other places, there is no guarantee that any alarm will not be triggered. If you really want to do that, you won't..."
"Get out of the way!"
"Get the hell out of my way, Master!"
"Yo ho!"
Suddenly, a burst of shouting came from the distance outside the city, causing everyone queuing in front of the city gate to look back.
Li Guanqi and Long Ji are no exception.
The two of them turned around and saw billows of smoke and dust sweeping over the grassland.
And at the forefront of the smoke and dust, there were a dozen or so people dressed in fine clothes, riding horses and whipping their whips.
No, that's not right.
If you look closely, you will see that the dozen or so figures riding on them are not prairie people, but tauren with horns on their heads.
And what they were riding on were not war horses, but female centaurs.
Those female centaurs were naked, completely naked, and humiliatingly put on reins and collars. Their hair colors and body colors were different, but there was no green hair or white body.
They are all ordinary centaur clans, and there is no sign of the Chiron royal family.
But the tauren riding them are different.
Those guys wearing luxurious robes, except for their white horns, golden vertical pupils, and a white ox tail behind their backs, no longer have any orcish features on their bodies.
His face is that of a completely handsome young man.
White horns, golden vertical pupils, white tail, good looks...plus an "arrogant and domineering" character.
This is the characteristic of the Minotaur royal family and the Minos family.
"Bang bang bang!"
Smoke and dust billowed in, and the sound of horse hooves sounded from far to near.
"Anyone with eyes, get out of my way, Master, and the same goes for those doorkeepers. My grandfather is the Duke of Torre. Anyone who doesn't want to die, get out of here!"
The leader, a Minoan minotaur, rode his horse and whipped his horse, riding a female centaur, and rushed towards the city gate without slowing down at all.
The few Tauren soldiers who were in charge of inspecting the city quickly moved out of the way when they saw this, not daring to stop them at all.
"That's right, haha!"
The leader of the Minotaur, the Minotaur, laughed and burst into the city gate, followed closely by a dozen minotaurs behind him. Soon they all entered the city, and amid the discussions of the people around them, they gradually drifted away until they disappeared in the city.
The end of the street.
In fact, these tauren royal family also ran rampant in the city, causing a commotion among the people in the city.
"..."
Long Ji looked at the backs of these tauren, his red eyes filled with murderous intent, "They are a bunch of disgusting bastards. I really want to rush over and kill them right now."
Li Guanqi also looked gloomy.
Tauren riding centaurs?
There is no such combat arrangement in the grassland.
As early as 2000 years ago, the legendary "Amul Khan", the founder of the Grassland Alliance and the first khan of the Beimang Royal Court, promulgated the "Grassland Law", which explicitly prohibited the use of centaurs as mounts.
.
Those Minoan Minotaurs are not warriors, they are just playboys of the Minotaur royal family.
They ride female centaurs not for fighting or traveling, they just humiliate and use this method to humiliate their slaves for fun.
"Alas, the world has changed."
Suddenly, behind Li Guanqi, an old sheep-headed man dressed as a merchant sighed, "If we push it forward a few hundred years, how could these guys dare to ride a centaur around so openly?"
"You also said it was hundreds of years ago."
One of his kobold companions waved his hand, "That was the era when the Royal Court was in charge. The laws of the grassland were the law of heaven. Who dared not to obey? But what about now? The Royal Court is hiding and not daring to show up, and the laws of the grassland are all
It’s become a piece of waste paper, who cares about it?”
"well."
The old sheep-headed man sighed again, "I still remember that when I was very young, my grandfather kept saying 'Orcs will never be slaves' all day long. He also always said that the orcs in the grasslands today are being used by the royal court.
With humans on top, they are like slaves, living without dignity.
But what’s the result?
Now that the royal court is gone, and those grassland people can no longer suppress us, can we live with dignity?
Fart.
After the decline of the royal court and no orcs willing to abide by the laws of the grassland, we can hardly live anymore.
I was running business a few days ago and passed by Hugul Lake. I originally wanted to go there to catch up with a distant relative of mine.
When I went there, I saw, damn, the whole tribe had been burned down, and the ground was full of gnawed bones, even the children were not spared!
I inquired nearby and found out that my relative’s tribe was wiped out by a group of passing Khajiit bandits. I heard that all the sheep-headed men in the tribe were eaten on the spot!”
At the end of the sentence, the old sheep-headed man's face was full of resentment... and fear.
"Okay, let's just live with it."
The kobold next to him waved his hand helplessly, "I'm thinking of taking refuge in Xuanye King City now. Although I heard that the tauren in the city often bully us weak orcs, it's better than outside. At least be careful. Always
I can find a way to survive in the city."
"Hey, idiot! Are you two dying?!"
At this time, a gray-haired rat man with a rat head covered their mouths and said in panic: "Speaking ill of the Tauren outside the Tauren King's City? You two don't want your life, Rat Rat and I want my life, don't do it."
Is it okay to say so?”
"..."
The sheep-headed man and the kobold-man quickly fell silent.
The gray-haired rat man breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Guanqi looked at him extra hard.
Rat man?
It seems like it's the first time I've seen him.
Although not very polite, Rat Man is really ugly.
"The strong always like to break the rules, but the weak need rules. They need a stable enough rule order to live an ordinary life well."
Suddenly, the cold voice of Long Ji sounded in Li Guanqi's mind, "This is what my husband told me before he was alive. He also said that once the order breaks down, it will be a paradise for the strong and a hell for the weak. And the reason why this world is still there is
The reason why it has not turned into hell is because there are some great and strong people who care about the weak and have been establishing order and stabilizing it."
"..."
Li Guanqi turned his head slightly and looked at the red-haired woman beside him.
"Two thousand years ago, Amul Khan, who unified the grasslands, was that kind of great and powerful man."
Long Ji looked at him, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, "So, the Dragon King I am following now is also the kind of great person with ideals? It's really interesting. I have followed many gods and done many things.
There are quite a few, but I have never participated in such a great action that benefits the world."
"No, I'm not that great."
Li Guanqi shook his head and looked up at the blue sky with mixed feelings in his heart, "Shunkong and the others should have finished telling you last night, right? About my identity, two worlds, extraordinary beings, and system tasks.
So you should know that I have selfish motives.
Unify the world, and then bring stable peace to the world and calm the wars everywhere?
Indeed, I did have this thought in the past after meeting some people and things.
But I must also admit that what really drove me to take action was not this great ideal at all, but the desire to complete that damn world mission and then return to my world, my family and my lover.
My current desire to dominate the world is actually a selfish thing."
"This kind of deeds do not matter what the heart is. There is no conflict between selfish thoughts and great actions."
Long Ji looked at Li Guanqi with a smile, "I'm looking forward to that day. I'm looking forward to following you to rule the grassland again and rebuild the peaceful order. I don't know about other places, but at least the people at the bottom of this grassland.
A sufficiently stable order is required.
Hmm...what a meaningful thing.
I have really begun to recognize you, human being. If it were me in the old days, I would really be willing to call you master, but today is different from the past, so I’d better forget it now.”
"ha."
Li Guanqi shook his head helplessly and laughed, "Thank you for your recognition, Ms. Longji."
"You're welcome, oh, it's our turn."
Dragon Halberd stepped forward and walked towards the tauren soldiers in front.
After queuing for so long, it was finally their turn to conduct inspection into the city.
"Buzz——"
A dark red tauren wearing black armor held a green-glowing token and swept it a few times on the dragon halberd.
"Second-level humans, let go."
The Tauren soldier waved his hand.
Long Ji then walked towards the city gate, then leaned against the wall, waiting for Li Guanqi.
This artifact said before that she had a way of pretending to pass, and the facts proved that this was indeed the case.
"Buzz——"
Li Guanqi stepped forward, and the bull-headed soldier scanned the green light token as usual.
"Boom!"
When he scanned Li Guanqi's collar, the token suddenly changed from green light to blue light.
"Um?"
The bull-headed soldier raised his head and looked at Li Guanqi coldly with his scarlet eyes.
