Before arriving in Desolace, Sharlayan learned about the strengths and weaknesses of the centaur race through Shandris, Remulos, and the barrage.

The advantages of centaurs are very obvious. Due to their special body structure, their whole family is extremely mobile light cavalry.

Moreover, the centaur can ride, shoot and cast spells while running, which will be very difficult in mobile warfare.

But centaurs are not without weaknesses.

Compared with the tall and strong tauren, the physical fitness of the centaur is far inferior, and it is by no means an opponent of the tauren in a frontal fight.

The evaluation of the strongest infantry race given by the barrage is not a joke, the Tauren really deserves this title.

Before making certain achievements, the night elves' reinforcements could not be counted on. They could only rely on the tauren's own strength and the small number of dryads and woodland guardians to make a comeback.

The barrage gives a variety of suggestions, but the core idea is the same.

Block the centaur's mobility.

Once the centaur is allowed to run, the bulkier tauren will not be able to catch up anyway.

In the words of barrage, this is the short-legged profession being kited, and the whole process can only be passively beaten, unable to touch the enemy's side.

Regarding how to restrict centaurs, the barrage has given many suggestions, which can be roughly classified into three categories.

One: Trap

Two: Ambush

Three: Victory beyond the battlefield

Both 1 and 2 are easy to understand.

Traps are a good thing, but like ambush, the premise is to lure the opponent to the predetermined location.

But that's where the problem lies.

The terrain in the center of Desolace where the tauren are located is very simple. It is an endless plain, and the four centaur clans are stationed around the plain, surrounding the tauren.

On this kind of flat terrain that can't be seen as far as the eye can see, it is almost impossible to set up traps and ambushes. Centaur scouts will always monitor the movement of the tauren, but any slight disturbance will arouse their vigilance.

The suggestion given by the barrage is to lure the enemy to go deep, and lure the centaur to the relatively complex rocky area in the southern part of the Kanam grassland.

Sharlayan felt that this plan was unreliable. Once the tauren gave up the last grassland and moved south, the centaurs who had long coveted this place would definitely occupy the Canam grassland immediately, and it would be very difficult to regain it. up.

'No, wait. '

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Sharlayan suddenly thought of something.

‘If you can ensure that the centaur is hooked and deal them an unbearable major blow at one time, it seems that it is not unfeasible for the strong man to temporarily abandon the Canam Grassland? '

This idea stayed in Sharlayan's mind for a while, and was temporarily put aside.

The core idea of ​​the third option is to stir up conflicts within the centaur.

Centaurs are a race of evil beasts that their six relatives do not recognize. This can be seen from the fact that they killed their biological father Zaetar.

Although the five centaur clans were fairly united when dealing with the foreign enemy tauren, in fact, there were always huge differences and contradictions among them.

The five major clans are Kyrgyz, Magram, Kokar, Maraudi and Garak.

Among them, the Galak clan was defeated in the internal struggle many years ago, and had to leave their homeland sadly, and the whole family moved to Thousand Needles to settle down.

Among the remaining four clans, the Cocal clan is the most powerful. Not only can they suppress other competitors in Desolace, but they also have the strength to send their clansmen to plunder other surrounding areas.

Below Kocal, the Marudy clan is slightly behind, but the difference is not much, followed by Kirghis and Magram who are similar in strength.

According to the custom of the centaur, whoever can take advantage of the big hunt every three years can move the resident to the territory closest to the holy land of Maraudon.

The last time it was the Kocal clan that won, Sharlayan must first open the passage to Maraudon if he wants to complete Remulos' commission.

To put it simply, the Kocal centaur blocking the door must be defeated first.

The conflict-provoking plan given by the barrage is mainly aimed at the Kocal clan.

Kocal has won five consecutive big siege hunts, which naturally aroused the common hostility of the other three major clans.

Kocal, which occupies Maraudon, is stationed in the west of the Canam Grassland, and the east, north, and south directions are occupied by Magram, Maraudi, and Kyrgyz respectively.

If the three major clans that have long been dissatisfied with Kocal can be lured to share their hatred, the tauren can take this opportunity to dispatch and pose a huge threat to the centaurs in the midst of internal strife.

After a heated discussion with the barrage, Sharlayan finally came up with a composite plan.

"Abandon the Canam Grassland?!"

When Sharlayan revealed his plan, the Tauren executives were stunned as expected.

Magatha began to chatter and sell her set of rumors that outsiders couldn't believe, and Kane looked at Sharlayan with a lot of doubts in his eyes.

"Listen to me first."

Sharlayan ignored the strange gazes of everyone present and continued to scramble across the animal skin map.

"I'm not saying that I really want to give up the Canam Grassland, but to show the enemy's weakness and paralyze those centaurs."

Sharlayan's fingers tugged south along the Canam Grasslands.

"There is a complex rocky area in the south of Maraudon. Only the nearby Kyrgyzstan will take precautions against it."

"You can hide the non-combatants in the rocky area first, and the centaurs who have noticed the change will definitely take the opportunity to occupy the abandoned Canam Grassland. After that... what do you think will happen?"

Hamuul recovered from the initial shock, bowed his head and thought for a while, and gradually understood what Sharlayan meant.

"You mean...infighting?"

"Yes."

Sharlayan said confidently: "You have fought against centaurs for many years, and you should understand the nature of those beasts better than I do."

"The Kanam Grassland is only so big, it is impossible to support all the centaurs of the four major clans."

"Then here comes the problem. After the tauren knew they were invincible and evacuated, who should control this fertile grassland?"

Kane's eyes are getting brighter: "They will definitely fight! If we take this opportunity to make a surprise attack..."

"No."

Sharlayan poured cold water on Kane: "Before the tauren are wiped out, the four major clans will indeed have some friction, but it should not be a full-scale war. Rushing out at this time is sending sheep to the tiger's mouth."

"We need to do some preparatory work first."

"Valeera and I will use the ability to maneuver in the air to go to the four major clans to provoke relations, and tell them that the Tauren is extremely weak and has no power to fight back."

"Bah!"

Magatha sneered disdainfully: "I admit that your eloquence is good, but you don't think that centaurs will listen to your nonsense like us?"

"Believe me, as long as you enter the territory of the centaur, there is a high probability that you will be shot and killed by them on the spot."

Sharlayan smiled mysteriously: "Who said I'm going in like I am now?"

"Dah~"

With a light snap of his fingers, Sharlayan's body was shrouded in a puff of smoke, and began to change under the influence of Gani's blessing.

Kane: "!!"

The smoke dissipated, and a dirty centaur suddenly appeared in the great chief's tent. Kane subconsciously lifted the totem pole beside him.

"Don't get excited, it's me."

Sharlayan tried to move his body, and walked around the tent a few times.

"It's okay, although it will reveal your secrets when you fight, but it's more than enough to bluff people."

Hamuul looked at the centaur that Sharlayan transformed into in surprise: "Where did you get this ability?"

After transforming back to the original form~lightnovelpub.net~ Sharlayan explained with a smile: "You can take it as the blessing of the spirit of the wilderness."

"Although the centaurs don't dare to give too much trust to the same race, if our words make their Khan feel profitable, there is still a high probability of luring them into being fooled."

Hamuul rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "Using the Canam Grassland and the complete annihilation of the remnants of the Tauren forces as bait..."

"Although there is a relatively high risk, if they can really lure their main force and stir up internal strife behind the four major clans, maybe they can really inflict heavy damage on the centaur in one fell swoop."

"That's not all."

Sharlayan hooked the corners of his mouth with a half-smile: "In order to ensure that our clan can win the Canam Grassland in one fell swoop, the four major clans will try their best to mobilize the fighters in the clan, and the rear will inevitably be empty."

"At that time... it will be the turn of the true Son of Cenarius to perform."
