For the first time, I experienced the difficulty of reconnaissance in a war between different races.
In a battle between humans or goblins, it is simple enough for one to slip into the crowd and appear like everyone else, but that's not possible in a battle between two different races. After all, we look completely different from each other. It simply isn't possible. Even the harpy scouts aren't able to close in on the centaur village as their archers could easily shoot them down.
The mud-scaled tribe were already working as messengers between our group and the advance group consisting of the long-tailed tribe (rizalat) and the fang tribe (werewolves), so they weren't an option.
As I watched the scene before me, I became thoughtful.
"Why are they closing themselves off here?"
Numerous tents had been put up in the middle of the meadows, around which were wooden sticks sticking out from the ground, probably meant for defense. Inside were centaurs wielding wooden shields reinforced with iron. This was the centaur village.
"Fighting on the meadows is supposed to be their specialty."
I don't understand. The forest isn't even that far, it's just about 500 meters away.
But even if they don't want to run to the forest, they should be wanting a large area to exhibit their superior mobility. The greatest advantage of mobility is the ability to repeatedly send out killing moves.
"Yushika, you sure they're not hiding anywhere?" I asked.
The harpy chief shrugged her shoulders as she chuckled. "Yep. Even the mud-scaled tribe says they don't see anything. You sure you're not just being too cautious? They just couldn't run, that's all."
They just couldn't run?
But why? Is it really just because they look down on us?
I'd really like something more concrete, but we can't wait here forever. We've already mostly surrounded them and the path to the elves has already been cut off by the fang tribe and the long-tailed tribe. Gi Za and his horde of goblins and demihumans is also in position.
The only thing unexpected is that Nikea got herself caught. Or is that a part or her plans too?
"Yushika, I need to send a messenger to the centaurs," I asked.
"Can we expect extra compensation for the risk?" Yushika smiled seductively.
"I'll give you as much as you want," I decided.
After hearing my answer, Yushika flew away.

Dodging the arrows flying toward her, Yushika threw a wooden rod wrapped in white cloth toward the centaur village. In a war between demihumans, this was the way demihumans requested for a temporary ceasefire.
After seeing that the arrows have stopped coming, Yushika flew down.
Yushika gradually approached the ground until she finally landed.
