Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Chapter 412 A delicate balance

They had to admit that they didn't know much about the situation on this continent.

The only information we had before was that there were lizardmen here, and there might be centaurs, because when Drogo and the others came over before, they found some traces of centaurs.

But unfortunately, they ran in the wrong direction at that time, which resulted in them not meeting the ethnic group here at all.

In fact, if they had met at that time, what happened later would probably be completely different.

Getting back to the topic, when their king was analyzing the situation, he mentioned that the lizardmen suddenly stopped invading, probably because they also had troubles here that could not be ignored.

So after realizing that they were not that easy to solve, we chose to suspend the offensive.

Under this premise, although they had not known about the existence of the Rat Man before, they were not that surprised.

In the simple conversation just now, Silk, who was basically on the sidelines, had already made some guesses about the role played by the Centaurs in this world.

As his thoughts whirled, Silke finally spoke out...

"Chief Tar, I would like to confirm what role you play here?"

"..."

Silk's question was a relatively tactful one.

But faced with this problem, Tal still found it a little difficult to speak, or he didn't know how to speak.

Finally, he made up his mind and spoke.

"The two biggest forces here are the lizards and the rat-men. They are mortal enemies and equally matched in strength. Fights often break out, but in the end, neither one can destroy the other..."

Under Tal's narration, Hilke and the others' understanding of the situation here quickly became clear.

From the perspective of the Centaur clan, as a force, the Centaur clan headed by Chief Tarr is of course a force that cannot be ignored.

But despite their tough attitude when facing the lizardmen before, in fact, in a one-on-one situation, they really don't have the strength to compete head-on with the lizardmen.

The biggest reason why they dare to be so tough in the face of the lizard people is because they know that the lizard people and the rat people have always been at war.

If the lizardmen dare to provoke them, they will directly cooperate with the ratmen and launch an offensive on the other side of the border from the lizardmen. When the time comes, the lizardmen will be attacked from both sides by them and the ratmen, and they will most likely be destroyed.

However, Tal obviously also knows that the rat people are not a good thing. If he really helps the rat people to destroy the lizard people, then the next person the rat people will destroy is their centaur clan.

Therefore, the centaur clan headed by Tarr has not taken any practical actions.

Instead, they adopted an attitude of ‘don’t mess with us, we won’t bother to care about you’.

Under this premise, the lizard people are also wise, and they have always avoided them when they could.

During this period, from the perspective of the lizard people, the centaurs were undoubtedly a thorny problem.

It's not like the high priest has never thought about finding an opportunity to make a truce with the rat people and destroy the centaur clan to eliminate this hidden danger.

But this is obviously not that easy to do.

Because the rat people also know the existence of the centaurs, they can contain them to a certain extent.

So if the Lizard Man takes action, the Rat Man will definitely take action too.

Under this premise, although the centaur clan lacks the strength to compete head-on with the lizard people, they are not a weak persimmon.

If they can't hit them head-on, the worst they can do is run away.

When the time comes, the Lizardmen will definitely be unable to stop them, and they will only leave endless hidden dangers in the end.

In this way, the three parties in the world restrain each other, thus forming a very subtle check and balance situation.

This tricky situation left Silke not knowing what to say for a moment.

The people who are currently in direct conflict with them, the Great Zhou, are the lizard people, and the people who have a hatred of genocide against their prairie elves are also the lizard people.

But if they launch an offensive and destroy the lizardmen, they will have to face the ratmen on the other side.

In other words, there is a high probability that they will have to face two major battles one after another.

Can they handle a battle like this two times in a row? this is a problem.

"The situation here is indeed more complicated. We cannot make decisions on our own. We must report the matter to the king and let the king make a decision."

Hearing this, Drogo nodded in agreement.

Their main mission is to come here to investigate the situation. Things like this are really not something they can decide on their own.

"However, I don't think there is a problem with the joint proposal mentioned by Drogo before. Is Chief Taar willing to join forces with our Great Zhou?"

While speaking, Silke once again asked this question to the other party.

"No matter whether we want to go to war with the lizard people or not, there is no harm in your centaur clan joining forces with us, the Great Zhou, to increase our strength."

"..."

The five centaurs headed by Drogo were unwilling to stay because of this 'Great Zhou', which made Tarr somewhat unhappy with this 'Great Zhou' whom he had never met before.

But he couldn't deny what Silk said. It was so well-founded that he couldn't refute it.

In the final analysis, you are still the leader of the clan, and everything is focused on the clan.

He would not refuse something that was beneficial to the entire ethnic group just because of this "unpleasantness".

The most important thing is that by agreeing to join forces, they will have nothing to lose anyway.

While Tal was thinking about this, Silk spoke again.

"If Chief Taer is worried, he can select a few representatives from the clan to go back with us to discuss with our king."

Hilke and the others, who already have a good understanding of the situation here, obviously have no intention of staying here any longer. Before the dry food on them is completely exhausted, it is better to quickly find the opportunity to return to their own world when the energy channel opens. .

To this, Tal did not rush to answer, but pondered it by himself.

[Then what is the situation of 'Dazhou'? I don't know at all. Even if I verbally agree to join forces with them, no matter what they do or do nothing at that time, I will not lose anything. But to confirm, it is definitely More secure. 】

[The most important thing is that we don’t know how long the situation between the lizards and the ratmen will last. The survival of the group cannot be tied entirely to the victory or defeat of the lizardmen and the ratmen. This may be an opportunity. 】

Thinking of this, Tal nodded.

"Okay, I agree to this. Later I will choose a few tribesmen to represent our Centaur tribe and go with you to meet the king!"
