Laura took a deep breath and carefully looked at the war flag on top of the tent. It was indeed the Ox-Head King's flag. Without a doubt, Laura turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, it really is the Ox-Head King's flag. What should we do?"
Zhao Hai frowned. He wasn't sure what to do. The Jackal tribe actually dared to attack the Herculean Bulls. This in itself was very unreasonable. Zhao Hai always felt that this matter was strange, but in the end, he couldn't put his finger on it.
Zhao Hai glanced at the battlefield and sighed. "It's useless. We're too close to the battlefield. They've already discovered us. Let's continue forward."
Laura glanced at the battlefield and found that someone had already noticed them. At this time, even if they wanted to turn around, it would be too late.
They weren't afraid of what the other side would do to them. However, don't forget that the Big-Bellied Pig tribe's friendship flag was still on top of their carriage. Even if they could escape, they would still bring a lot of trouble to Spear. After all, there was no such thing as an airtight wall in this world. Regardless of whether it was the Herculean Bulls or the Jackal tribe, Spear's small Sheep Head Hammer tribe couldn't afford to provoke them.
Zhao Hai and the others slowly walked towards the battlefield. Their reaction was beyond the expectations of both sides. Currently, the attacking side was the Jackal tribe, while the defending side was the Herculean Bulls.
This time, the Jackal tribe had dispatched a lot of manpower. There were nearly two thousand people surrounding the small camp that could only house a few hundred people.
The defending side only had about three hundred Herculean Bulls, but they were all elite soldiers. They wore leather armor and held double-bladed heavy axes in their hands. They didn't ride mounts, but their mounts were parked in the camp. They were yellow bulls that were more than three meters tall. These bulls only had a layer of fine hair on their bodies, but they were extremely strong. They had well-developed muscles, sharp horns, and a pair of one-meter long horns that were very sharp. Now, these bulls were standing in the camp, restlessly stomping their hooves. It seemed that they couldn't wait to rush into battle. Zhao Hai finally understood why they were called the Herculean Bulls.
These Herculean Bulls were more than two and a half meters tall. Their muscles were comparable to bodybuilders. If they were to participate in bodybuilding competitions on Earth, even Schwarzenegger would have to stand aside.
Their skin was golden yellow, flashing with a metallic luster. They were like those actors on Earth who wore gold powder on their bodies when they played the Eighteen Bronze Men.
They had a huge bull's head, a pair of half-meter long horns, and a double-bladed axe in their hands that was more than three meters long. Just by looking at the axe's size, it definitely exceeded two hundred pounds.
Although their numbers were small, they formed a circle around the camp's central tent. It was like an iron bastion, and not a single Jackal tribe member was able to break through. In front of them, there were already many corpses of the Jackal tribe members.
In contrast, the Jackal tribe members opposite them were much worse. These Jackal tribe members were riding on their mounts. Their mounts were wolf-like and dog-like animals. They were very similar to the jackals on Earth, but their bodies were much larger. They were nearly two meters tall, had sharp claws and teeth, and had cold eyes. All of this showed that they had extraordinary offensive capabilities.
The Jackal tribe members didn't wear leather armor. They only wore ordinary leather clothing that beastmen usually wore. They were only about one meter and seventy centimeters tall. The weapons in their hands were also a variety of different kinds. Their heads were also like jackals, and their eyes flashed with a savage light.
Zhao Hai really didn't think that the Jackal tribe members wouldn't be tall. They were even shorter than the average human. With their stature, they were actually the most outstanding bandits on the Beastmen Prairie. This really made him feel surprised.
At this time, both sides of the battle also saw them. Zhao Hai didn't advance, but instead had the carriages form a circle, putting on an appearance of resisting the enemy.
The reason why Zhao Hai did this was to probe. He wanted to see if the Herculean Bulls would ask him for help. If the Herculean Bulls asked him for help, then he would lend them a hand. If they didn't ask him for help, then he would just wait here for his death.
Zhao Hai's performance made both sides of the battle stunned. They had seen many human merchants, but it was the first time they had seen a human merchant as bold as Zhao Hai.
Generally, human merchants who came to the Beastmen Prairie would first understand the situation on the Beastmen Prairie. If other human merchants were to encounter a battle like this, then they would definitely hide as far away as possible. They wouldn't be like Zhao Hai's group, who actually walked in front of them and put on an appearance of resisting the enemy. With only a few people in their caravan, how could they resist the enemy?
It was no wonder that the Jackal tribe and the Herculean Bulls would have such an idea. Currently, Zhao Hai's caravan only had fifty people. Fifty coachmen, plus Zhao Hai's group of four. With such a number of people, they dared to put on an appearance of resisting the enemy. Facing the powerful Herculean Bulls and the notorious bandits of the Beastmen Prairie, this gave people the feeling that their heads had been kicked by a mosquito.
At this time, a person suddenly came out of the tent in the middle of the Herculean Bulls. This person was also from the Herculean Bull tribe, but this person obviously wasn't from the Herculean Bull tribe. This Herculean Bull tribesman's head had thin black hair. His stature was only about two meters, and his horns weren't very long. Moreover, they were horizontally long. This person wore a black robe, and in his hand was a cane made of animal bones. The cane was only about one meter long, and it looked like a crutch.
Zhao Hai froze for a moment. This was the first time he had seen a robed beastman. Generally, beastmen wore leather clothes, but this Herculean Bull's robe looked like a magic robe. Most importantly, this Mego Herculean Bull tribesman gave Zhao Hai the feeling that he was very thin and weak.
At this time, Laura suddenly said, "I can't be wrong. There must be a high level Herculean Bull tribesman here. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a Beastman Prophet following us."
Zhao Hai stared. It wasn't that he hadn't heard of the Beastman Prophet profession. On the contrary, he had heard of it. Moreover, the Beastman Prophets were very famous.
Prophets were a very respected profession among the Beastmen. They couldn't practice Beast Soul Skills, but they could roast beast bones over fire. Then, they could make predictions from the cracks on the bones. They could also use some special Magic Beast bones to make dominoes and summon Beast Souls to attack. The status of Prophets among the Beastmen was higher than the status of Magicians among the Human race.
It was precisely because of the status of Prophets that only the Great War Tribes would have Prophets. Moreover, these Prophets weren't only very capable, they were also very intelligent. In the Great War Tribes, they generally played the role of military counselors.
Zhao Hai turned to Laura and said, "Is that a Beastman Prophet?"
Laura nodded and said, "That's a Buffalo Prophet. The Buffalo Tribe is known as the smartest tribe among the Cow-headed Race. Most of the Cow-headed Race's Prophets were born in the Buffalo Tribe. Because of this, although the Buffalo Tribe's fighting strength isn't very high, their status among the Cow-headed Race is very high."
When the Buffalo Prophet saw Zhao Hai's group, his eyes flashed with a trace of confusion. Then he saw the Big Bellied Pig tribe's Friendship Flag on the roof of Zhao Hai's carriage. His eyes couldn't help but shrink.
As a Beastman Prophet, he naturally saw that it was a War Flag that represented the Beastmen's Friendship Flag. For Zhao Hai's group to obtain this War Flag, it meant that they had gained the friendship of a Beastman Tribe. For an average merchant, this was a goal that they couldn't achieve in their lifetime.
Obtaining the Beastmen's Friendship Flag didn't only mean that you had gained the Beastmen's friendship, it also meant that the Beastmen didn't treat you as an outsider. In other words, Zhao Hai's group's actions in the Prairie could already be regarded as a Beastman.
Zhao Hai didn't know about this point. Even if he knew, he wouldn't have any reaction. As long as the War Flag was useful, it was fine. He just didn't want to cause any trouble.
When the Beastman Prophet saw the War Flag on Zhao Hai's carriage, he stared blankly for a moment. Then he turned around and returned to his tent. Before long, another Herculean Bull came out of the tent.
This Herculean Bull tribesman looked very young. His height was only about 2.3 meters, and the muscles on his body weren't that exaggerated. Moreover, he wasn't wearing any leather armor. Instead, he was wearing a black cloth shirt. Although the style of this shirt looked simple, it could be seen that the material of the shirt was very good. One must know that the beastmen themselves didn't produce cloth, so cloth was a very popular item in the Beastmen Prairie. Only a few people with status would wear cloth clothes, and a cloth made of such good material would certainly have a high status among the beastmen.
Zhao Hai carefully observed the Herculean Bull. He discovered that the Herculean Bull had two golden hoops on his horns. When the sun shined on them, they flashed with a golden light.
Looking at this situation, Zhao Hai knew that the Herculean Bull warriors were protecting this person. Just by looking at the Prophet standing behind this person, he knew that this person's status wasn't low.
Zhao Hai looked at the Herculean Bull, and the Herculean Bull also looked at him. Zhao Hai's black magic robe was too conspicuous. Even if the Herculean Bull didn't want to, it would be hard for the Herculean Bull to not notice him.
At this time, the Jackal tribe suddenly moved. A team of two hundred Jackal tribe cavalry rushed towards Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai didn't move. He wanted to see what the Jackal tribe wanted to do. If the Jackal tribe didn't directly attack him and only threatened him, then he wouldn't retaliate. However, if the Jackal tribe attacked him without saying anything, then he wouldn't be polite.
