Chapter 1301 Centaur Banquet
Don't forget, this is the border fortress of the Saint Laurent Empire. There are people from the Saint Laurent Empire everywhere. The contact between the Centaur cavalry on both sides was not hidden, so it would be difficult for the other side not to know about it.
Basically, when the Centaur cavalry came to the door yesterday, Marshal Adolf, who was inside the fortress, received the news at the first time.
He had long known that there were Centaur cavalry on the Great Zhou side, which inevitably gave him some thoughts.
After all, as the Grand Marshal of the Saint Laurent Empire, he knew better than anyone else that Saint Laurent V wanted to slowly assimilate the Centaur mercenaries and make them serve the Saint Laurent Empire over the years.
In fact, Marshal Adolf himself thought the same.
As a cavalry force, the Centaur mercenaries are particularly powerful. Their joining will undoubtedly be a great help to the Saint Laurent Empire.
After years of hard work, they have actually achieved quite good results in this area. At least the old, weak, women and children among the Centaurs have become very accustomed to life in their Saint Laurent Empire. They plan to wait for the right opportunity to extend an olive branch to the other party.
As a result, at this critical juncture, this new variable unexpectedly arises.
At the same time, the most troublesome thing is that this matter is not easy to handle.
Because according to the reports from his subordinates, it was the Centaur mercenaries on their side who took the initiative to approach them first. What else could he say?
Not to mention that the support from the Great Zhou had just helped them.
From any angle, this matter is difficult for him to handle.
"Marshal, why don't we hurry up and send someone to test Chief Lex's attitude."
Lex is the leader of this group of Centaur mercenaries and also the patriarch of the tribe.
They certainly have no way and power to directly prevent the two sides from making contact now. Under this premise, according to the adjutant's idea, it is better to strike first.
"Not right, not right."
However, Marshal Adolf shook his head when he heard this.
"There are Centaurs in the Great Zhou, they are of the same race. It is normal for them to want to make contact. If we immediately send people over to test them because of this matter, it will make us look petty. If we are not careful, all our efforts over the years may go to waste."
As he spoke, Marshal Adolf pondered for a while.
"How about this, let's observe a little more and have someone pay a little more attention, but don't monitor us, understand?"
Surveillance, once discovered, will only worsen the relationship between the two parties.
The adjutant was obviously aware of this and nodded quickly.
"I understand!"
As a result, the next morning, Marshal Adolf received news that the Centaur cavalry from the Great Zhou had gone to the Centaur camp on their side.
This news made Marshal Adolf's eyelids twitch.
"Did they go there on their own initiative, or?"
"Based on what we know so far, it seems that Chief Lex invited them to visit the camp yesterday."
"Apart from the Centaurs, have there been any other people from the Great Zhou?"
"No."
“…”
What else could he say in this situation?
To be honest, it wasn't even the other party who took the initiative to approach him. The initiative was always in Lex's hands.
Marshal Adolf could actually understand Lex's action.
The size of the Centaur tribe is limited. As the tribe leader, he must want to merge all the members to make the entire tribe stronger.
If Lex could merge the Centaur cavalry on the opposite side, it would undoubtedly be better for them.
But Marshal Adolf is now afraid that as the merger continues, Lex will eventually merge himself into the Great Zhou.
In this case, wouldn’t all the work that the Saint Laurent Empire has done over the years be in vain?
At the same time, the Centaur camp was undoubtedly bustling today.
None of the Centaur mercenaries, led by Lex, had expected that they would actually meet members of other tribes. All of a sudden, all the members on the front line gathered together.
The Centaurs had already arranged a banquet in advance.
All kinds of wine, meat and food were arranged. In that era, this banquet was definitely luxurious. It was not difficult to see that the Saint Laurent Empire treated this group of Centaur mercenaries very well.
During this process, Lex was also observing the reactions of Diak and others.
It turned out that all the centaurs in this tribe, from the leader Diak to every other centaur below, were all calm, as if this luxurious feast was just a common occurrence for them.
Of course he had thought that the other party was pretending.
After all, according to his idea, even the ethnic group headed by him could only enjoy the current treatment after reaching a long-term employment agreement with the Saint Laurent Empire and moving to the Saint Laurent Empire to receive preferential treatment.
In fact, even if you are treated preferentially, it is impossible to have such a lavish life every day.
For today's banquet, Lex spent a lot of money on purchasing.
But as the banquet officially began, Lex soon discovered that the Centaurs led by Diak did not have much enthusiasm for the wine and meat, and they were eating them sporadically.
Instead, the tribesmen under his command were eating voraciously, as if someone was snatching the food from them.
After comparing the two sides, Lex felt a little embarrassed.
During this process, Joseph took a piece of boiled pork and seemed to be a little tired of it.
After glancing around and making sure no one was paying attention to him, he took out a small cloth bag from his arms, poured out some red powder-like substance, dipped the pork lightly in it, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Well~ I feel comfortable~ Little did I know that this scene was seen by Lex.
During this time, following Lex's line of sight, Diak, who was chatting with the other party at the time, obviously also noticed the situation here, and a vein suddenly popped out on his forehead.
But due to the situation, it was difficult to get angry. He could only glare at Joseph fiercely, and then said to Lex in a slightly awkward tone...
"Children don't understand."
If you take out your own food to eat at someone else's banquet, doesn't that mean you dislike the food? Although the Centaurs are generally generous, after joining the Great Zhou, Diak and his friends have naturally mastered some basic social etiquette in their daily lives, and some habits have changed invisibly.
Lex didn't care much about this, but instead became interested in what Joseph poured out.
