Chapter 1209: Unmoved
Assisting the Smith Kingdom in repelling the Blood Hand Clan and regaining lost territory is, in essence, to ensure the safety of the female warriors and their rear territories in the Great Zhou.
But if the Smith Kingdom were to take the initiative and pursue the Blood Hand Clan that had already evacuated, the nature of the situation would be completely different.
Not to mention that the Blood Hand Clan had already evacuated before they arrived, the question was whether the Smith Kingdom’s army could catch up with them if they launched a pursuit later.
Once entering this stage, for the troops led by Zhou Xu and Yalvet, their battle line and duration of the expedition will inevitably be further extended.
The longer the battle line and the longer the expedition time, the greater the risk and loss.
At the same time, the opposing greenskin camp may receive support from other greenskin clans, further increasing the instability.
Therefore, for Zhou Xu, in the current situation, he only needs to stabilize the Smith Kingdom. Even if there are more greenskin clans attacking in the future, the Smith Kingdom will be at the forefront.
Their existence is equivalent to the Copperforge located on the outskirts of their Great Zhou Plain Fortress. If the greenskins want to attack, they must first eliminate the Smith Kingdom for safety reasons.
This forced the Smith Kingdom to protect them from wind and rain even though it was unwilling to do so due to its geographical location.
And there was no need for them to take excessive risks to cooperate with the Smith Kingdom's troops in the pursuit.
You know, he has never been a pushover. All his actions are based on the interests of their Great Zhou.
Zhou Xu's straightforward refusal made the atmosphere become a little subtle in an instant.
But Zhou Xu was not nervous. It was very clear that the Smith Kingdom did not have the strength to challenge them.
Sure enough, after Fisher's expression froze for two seconds, his attitude quickly softened, mainly because he had already understood the situation.
If the strength among these forces is equal, then it would be easy to deal with.
But the problem now is that among the three forces of Smith Kingdom, the Warrior Women Clan, and Da Zhou, Da Zhou is particularly strong! It has directly opened up a gap of one or even two positions with them.
Under this premise, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Women Warriors Clan and the Great Zhou are completely on the same page.
After all this, aren't they the only outsiders left in the Smith Kingdom?
Then, influenced by the territorial location, to put it bluntly, if rounded off, their Smith Kingdom is equivalent to the watchdog of the Great Zhou!
But they had no solution at all! Even if they were unhappy and turned the table over, they would not be able to make much impact on the Great Zhou Dynasty. This was the most powerless thing for Fisher.
"Sir Zhou Xu, Blood Hand King has suffered a great loss here, losing two of his generals. He won't just let it go. If we let him get away like this, he will definitely come back again!"
In order to encourage the Great Zhou and the female warrior tribe to continue sending troops, Fisher began to weigh the pros and cons for them.
But Zhou Xu was not moved at all.
Would he not have thought of what Fisher said? He had thought about it all, but even so, it was not enough to persuade him to take the risk, suffer losses, and invest a lot of time and energy to launch an expedition.
At this stage, the Blood Hand Clan only has two high-end fighters left: Blood Hand King and Greenskin with Dual Blades.
But who can guarantee that other strong men from the greenskin camp will not come to support the other side during the retreat? Once support occurs, it will be questionable how many high-end combat forces the other side has.
By then, they will have no information available, but the other side will have already known their high-end combat power clearly. If they pursue them rashly, they might be ambushed by the other side's high-end combat power and all of them will be killed if they are not careful!
It is foolish to take risks when there are other options.
Rather than taking this risk, Zhou Xu would rather go back and develop with peace of mind and practice with concentration. His current strength is Silver Four Star in the Saint Realm. As long as he can successfully break through to the Saint Realm and reach the Out-of-Body Realm mentioned in "Inherited Wisdom", most of the problems will be solved.
Even if he only needs to reach the peak of the Saint Realm, many problems can be handled much easier.
Unlike Zhou Xu, who did not have to face this threat and pressure directly, Fisher was annoyed by Zhou Xu's attitude, but he did not dare to show it at all, so the topic ended temporarily.
After confirming that the Blood Hand Clan had completely evacuated, Fisher sent out a cavalry unit to go ahead and reach the border city to regain control of the city.
The Blood Hand Clan obviously did nothing good when they occupied their border city. The city was in a mess and all the supplies were looted, leaving them with nothing.
Although he had prepared himself mentally, when Fisher actually arrived, he looked at the tragic situation in the city and his face turned ugly.
Even Zhou Xu, who had nothing to do with the matter, couldn't help but frown.
That night, Fisher found Zhou Xu again, trying to persuade Zhou Xu to continue sending troops, and his attitude became more sincere, but Zhou Xu still refused.
Fisher had no choice but to send a letter to 'Hand of the King' Narga.
Although he didn't want to admit it, the old man was indeed smarter than him, and there was no guarantee that he might have some ideas.
During this period, Zhou Xu, who had officially settled in the border city of the Smith Kingdom, was not polite at all. He meditated and directly absorbed the natural energy in the area to speed up his recovery.
Including the recovery along the way, the power of the mantra in his body has basically recovered to 80%.
It is worth mentioning that during this period, the scars on Chitose's body began to fall off, and new skin has grown under the scars.
That battle did not hurt its internal organs or bones, so it recovered quickly!
At the same time, inside the castle of the Kingdom of Smith, Smith V was sleeping soundly after having a brief and in-depth conversation with his most favored concubine.
However, his sleep has not been good in the past two years, and he has frequent nocturnal urination. He also doesn't know if it is affected by his sleep quality, but he is in a sore back and drowsy state.
In the middle of the night that day, he was woken up by the urge to pee. Just as he was about to wake up the concubine beside him to serve him, a gust of night wind blew past, making him shiver uncontrollably.
His bedroom window was opened at some point, which made Smith V curse.
Just as he was about to ask the servant to come in and close the window, he suddenly noticed a figure standing at the head of the bed.
“Shit!!”
This scared him so much that he jumped out of the bed.
"Ward's Law..."
Smith V was shocked and angry, swearing a lot, and subconsciously wanted to shout for the guards to come in.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, a flash of cold light flashed quickly in the dim room! Smith V only felt a chill in his throat, and subconsciously covered his neck with both hands, and a large amount of blood continued to spurt out.
He wanted to open his mouth to call for help, but found that he could only make a dry "huh" sound, and blood foam kept coming out of his mouth.
The noise here quickly woke up the concubine next to her, but before she could react, the sharp blade had already stabbed into her heart.
This night, the royal city is destined to be restless...
