Chapter 868: Chapter 197: The Frog in the Well

"Is there a problem, my dear Holy Temple Knight?" Liu Zhenhan leaned back in his chair, cleverly modifying the prince’s title, a denomination that significantly demeaned the prince.

"I’ve also heard about your military exploits, and I fervently hope that you can achieve something in this Altar Sacrificial Ceremony. However... I heard that you will be joining the frontline combat corps after this grand ceremony, but I do not wish for you and your stout men to drag my troops behind," Prince Richard said condescendingly as his gaze swept over the faces of the Feilengcui Warriors, using a tone of instruction, "A War Shaman is always just a War Shaman. As for guiding the course of war, the kingdom never relies on war shamans like you. Regarding your breakthrough to the path leading to Mount Hyjal, I’ve always felt pity that if I were present, perhaps Dorott would have been seized by now."

I didn’t expect him to stay just to lecture me. Liu Zhenhan smiled, aware that every shaman in the square was all ears, using it to humiliate others couldn’t be more perfect.

"Go on, keep boasting," said Liu Zhenhan gleefully as he watched the prince, looking forward to the prince spouting more ludicrous statements to amuse him further.

"Being large doesn’t mean superior martial skills. The regular army’s combat and your ragtag group’s encounters with bandits are strictly different, I hope you realize that yourself. The saying ’Fei city militia, not over a hundred, over a hundred unbeatable’ is just a joke that nobody in the royal city takes seriously—ragtag stays ragtag," indeed, Prince Richard didn’t disappoint Liu Zhenhan.

Upon hearing what the prince said, Liu Zhenhan and the militia around him laughed so hard that they wiped away tears.

"I admit to that," Fat Luo said seriously, earnestly agreeing with the prince, "Even a Sky Giant would die if stabbed in the throat."

"Interesting, but I’ve moved to being a cavalry. Trying to stab my throat might be a bit challenging," chuckled Duncan the Antelope Warrior.

He had recently replaced Vieri as a palace guard and was figuring out how to be a Two-Headed Chimera aerial knight. When someone blatantly called themselves ragtag, Duncan found it quite fresh. In the Underground World, the Golden Ring Warrior, known for their "gladiatorial skills," always brought a durability aura, close combat with a Totem Pillar, and ranged attacks with boomerangs, always pressing forward fiercely. As the top expert among Antelope Warriors, having fought thousands of battles—mostly against the regular armies of the fallen Elves—Duncan never considered himself ragtag.

"Which faction of Buer are you from? Cavalry? Which temple’s Holy Temple Knight are you?" Prince Richard frowned at Duncan, the Buer Warrior’s head adorned with spiraling ox horns, his body immensely sturdy—not inferior to Orcs’ top three strongmen: the Haus Hippo, Buer Rhino, and Orephin Giant Elephant. As for the weight of that Metal Totem Pole by his side, one could tell from the diameter it required over a ton of strength to manage it.

Had it been only these features, Prince Richard might have recognized Duncan as one of the extinct Golden Ring Warriors of the Bimon Kingdom, but Duncan’s body covered in golden fur, which he dyed blood-red using Thousand-leaf Nymphaea Juice, threw the prince off... Buer Taurens never had red hair; such a color was taboo for the Buers.

Indeed, one could hardly blame Prince Richard for his lack of insight; Duncan’s red hair was too peculiar.

When it comes to single combat prowess, Buer Warriors are invariably among the top five in the Bimon Kingdom. Unfortunately, Taurens are typically not the sharpest and can’t control their volatile tempers, utterly lacking discipline. If they can’t Self-initiate Berserk and aren’t with a large number of Holy Altar Sacrificial Ceremonies, a Tauren-formed troop is purely a makeshift mess—more trouble than they’re worth.

Duncan, with his conspicuous red hair, really threw off anyone trying to pin down his identity.

"Prince Richard, the finest warriors among the Buer species have already been gathered in the ’God of War’s Whip,’ and we, the Yak Heavy Armored Cavalry, are the only cavalry of the Buer tribe," a squad leader among the Mammoth Cavalry proudly interjected to the prince, "As far as I’m aware, there are no high-ranking Buer Knights in any of the kingdom’s temples, because the best Buer knights have already been drafted by the military."

"Captain Pipon, don’t you think equating you and the Buer militia is an insult to your valor?" Prince Richard squinted at Liu Zhenhan, speaking in a strange tone.

Liu Zhenhan and all the militia members were momentarily stunned.

"Haha..."

Liu Zhenhan’s cigar was sprayed out with laughter, while the militia members laughed uncontrollably. Master Otigha nearby painfully rubbed his stomach, crying out in pain, "Ouch, ouch," and even the usually composed Xiao Cui and Joan of Arc couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Everyone looked at the prince and the Mammoth Cavalry as if watching two clowns performing a comedic act.

Comparing the Bimon Kingdom with Feilengcui is ludicrous; Feilengcui, possessing the treasure trove of the Underground World, far surpasses a mere Bimon Kingdom.

As part of Feilengcui’s newly established Buer Corps, the Antelope tribe contributed a total of two thousand two hundred forty-eight Underground Wanderers. Ignoring two hundred that accompanied the boss lady on a tour to the distant Silk Continent, there are still four hundred thirty-nine Antelope Warriors transitioning to Chimera aerial knight status, undergoing special training from seasoned Musketeer air force and Moore instructors. Four hundred fifty-two Antelope beasts, bonded with an equal number of Antelope Warriors at Korina and the guidance of Mammoth Cavalry, stayed in Feilengcui to learn heavy cavalry combat skills. Including one thousand one hundred fifty-six mature infantry warriors, the two brigades of Feilengcui’s Buer Corps have established complete military formations in every possible area of Buer Tauren involvement, except for aquatic forces.
