Chapter 1211 Huh——
During this period, Fisher, who was far away in the border city, did not wait for Narga's reply, but instead received the news of the slave rebellion and the fall of the royal city.
The moment he confirmed the news, Fisher was a little dumbfounded.
"Slaves rebelled? The royal city fell?"
Fisher could never have imagined that these words could be combined together.
"Where are the troops stationed in the royal city? And the royal guards, what do they do for a living?!"
At this time, Fisher's thinking was basically the same as Narga's before.
In his opinion, the royal city has a Hundred Refining Realm warrior in charge, plus the garrison troops, so no matter how much a group of slaves jump around, they can't turn the world upside down! But the news in front of him was obviously not a joke, but it made Fisher feel that this matter became even more outrageous!
In any case, because of this sudden situation, he no longer needs to worry about how to persuade Zhou Xu to continue sending troops and cooperate in pursuing the Blood Hand Clan.
As a general, Fisher must have known that if something happened in the rear, the subsequent supply of their frontline army would be in trouble. Going out under such circumstances would be tantamount to seeking death. Not to mention that this time, something serious seemed to have happened in the rear.
Even out of caution, he had to go back quickly to quell the rebellion and ensure the safety of his rear.
But before that, the existence of the Great Zhou and the female warrior tribe became a problem.
As the general of the Smith Kingdom, when their country was in civil strife, he obviously did not want any outsiders to stay within their borders.
Especially since this outsider has a powerful military force...
This is a potential threat that cannot be ignored for them.
Fortunately, Zhou Xu and his team had already shown their intention to leave after learning that the Blood Hand Clan had evacuated, and it was obvious that they did not want to stay here and waste time and labor.
I believe that according to the current situation, even if I don't say anything, the other party will probably ask to evacuate in the next few days.
Thinking of this, Fisher hesitated for a moment and then simply sent a team of scouts back to the royal city to investigate the situation, so as not to delay either side.
At the same time, inside the room, Zhou Xu, who had finished meditation, was preparing to rest.
Just as Fisher guessed, after the Blood Hand Clan retreated, continuing to stay here would be a pure waste of time and labor for him. He planned to take a night's rest and then talk to Fisher about the evacuation tomorrow.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
After getting permission, an elf knight quickly pushed the door open and entered, then whispered a report to Zhou Xu.
"Your Majesty, the Giant Eagle Knights received news that a messenger came from the rear of the Smith Kingdom at night. Not long after the messenger entered the city, another small group of soldiers went out of the city, and the Giant Eagle Knights team has caught up with them."
After listening to the report, Zhou Xu nodded.
“Let’s all stay alert and wait and see what happens.”
At this point in time, Zhou Xu had no idea what was happening behind the Smith Kingdom.
The limited information made Zhou Xu confused about what happened at night.
Indeed, during the day, Fisher had frequently asked him to continue sending troops to assist them in clearing out the Blood Hand Clan, but he had completely rejected his request. Zhou Xu had expected that the other party would be dissatisfied because of this.
But after this period of time, Zhou Xu was basically certain that this Fei She still had some brains when it came to doing things, at least he was not an idiot who didn't know how to live or die.
Under this premise, the gap in strength between the two sides is there, and he doesn't think Fisher has the courage to do anything.
However, according to the report from the Giant Eagle Knight, the other party was indeed carrying out some action in the middle of the night, which forced Zhou Xu to be more cautious, but he did not intend to overturn the table and take action.
After all, as of now, the existence of the Smith Kingdom is beneficial to their Great Zhou and the female warrior tribe.
After giving simple instructions, Zhou Xu did not continue to worry about it, but fell asleep directly.
If something really happens, it would be more helpful for him to have a good rest now and conserve his energy.
Nothing unexpected happened that night and Zhou Xu slept until dawn.
After opening his eyes, he casually asked about the situation while washing his face.
"Any news about yesterday's incident?"
"Your Majesty, at dawn, a Giant Eagle Knight came back to report that the small group of cavalry did not stop at the rear city, but continued to advance."
[In this situation, I'm afraid I'll have to rush back to the capital overnight...]
Zhou Xu seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't worry too much about it. Anyway, there were other Giant Eagle Knights following him, so he just had to wait to hear the result.
Before that, Zhou Xu decided to do whatever he should do.
After a simple breakfast, he found Fisher and proposed to lead the troops to evacuate according to the original plan.
Hearing this, Fisher heaved a sigh of relief. Then, as if he had forgotten that he had been trying to persuade him to continue sending troops yesterday, he said very straightforwardly...
"This time we defeated the Blood Hand Clan, thanks to your help. I will definitely have someone send a thank you gift to them later!"
"No problem."
Zhou Xu waved his hand casually, looked at Fisher again, then turned and left.
[He let us leave directly. Even when I suggested to withdraw the troops, he changed his behavior from yesterday and seemed relieved...]
As his thoughts raced, combined with everything that was happening right now, Zhou Xu quickly realized something.
[This matter should have nothing to do with us. Judging from the situation, it is likely that something went wrong inside the Smith Kingdom.]
Zhou Xu had no intention of getting involved, and wasn't particularly interested.
He has been busy with domestic development in recent years, and he has no interest in continuing to expand his territory in the short term.
Not to mention that the location of this part of the Smith Kingdom is rather awkward.
Not to mention that there is the territory of the female warrior tribe in the middle, which would make internal operations inconvenient, let’s just talk about those greenskins outside.
If he took it now, wouldn't all the pressure and trouble fall on him?
Alas--
No, we shouldn't do that! Zhou Xu quickly called Yalvette, reorganized the troops and left.
As for the thank-you gift mentioned by Fisher, Zhou Xu was not worried that the other party would default on it.
The geographical location of the Smith Kingdom means that they will never be able to calm down. If they cannot defeat the enemy, they will have to rely on the reinforcements from the Great Zhou and the female warrior tribe.
As long as they can understand this point, the other party will not rely on this thank-you gift. Not only must the thank-you gift be given, but it must be given in full. Otherwise, it will easily damage its credibility. Next time when they want to ask for help, if the Great Zhou and the Women Warriors don't care, then the Smith Kingdom will be doomed.
From this perspective, unless the Smith Kingdom suddenly experiences a surge in national strength, with many powerful people emerging, and completely surpassing the Great Zhou and the female warrior tribe in strength, it will be able to take the lead.
But the question is, is this possible?
After a circle, they were equivalent to being controlled by Zhou Xu. Even if he did not occupy the territory here, the Smith Kingdom would still have to serve the Great Zhou like cattle and horses.
