Chapter 353 I Agreed
Upon hearing the news, Drogo immediately became disheveled in the cold wind.
Damn! This matter made him so confused!
"No! I have to figure this out!"
Thinking of this, Drogo didn't waste a second. He turned around and immediately found Zhou Xu to ask what was going on.
In response to Zhuogo's doubts, Zhou Xu, who was working at his desk at the time, gave a casual answer.
"As you know, the grassland elves' village has been destroyed. They are the only ones left in the tribe. They can no longer survive on their own. Joining my command and becoming a citizen of my Great Zhou should be the wisest choice at this stage."
What Zhou Xu said made sense, but Drogo didn't come here to refute this from the beginning.
But this matter was really sudden for him!
"Um, that..."
For a moment, Drogo didn't know what to say and couldn't help but become a little embarrassed.
At this moment, Zhou Xu, who roughly understood what Zhuo Ge was here for, couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and then said in a joking tone...
"How about you join me and become a member of our Great Zhou?"
When Drogo heard this, his brows furrowed and his expression became serious.
"I need to think about this."
After saying this, about a second passed.
"Okay, I agree."
“…”
In fact, Zhuo Ge had been thinking about this for a long time. How much favor did they owe Zhou Xu? It was estimated that they could not repay it.
If I can just team up with Zhou Xu, then I don't have to pay it back, right?
Of course, this is just a small reason as a joke. The more important reason is that Drogo can see the strength of the Great Zhou. He must know more about how well the Great Zhou is developing than Silk.
In addition, the previous experience of traveling through the world through the energy channel also caused the Centaurs led by him to pay a heavy price after encountering the Lizardmen. This made him, the tribe leader, clearly realize that they might not be able to conquer the future world by themselves.
So after coming back from that world and meeting Zhou Xu and the others again, he had actually been thinking about this matter in his mind.
I just can't speak because of my face.
But he didn't expect that the group of grassland elves actually ran ahead of him.
In Drogo's opinion, the grassland elves were a group of people who cared more about face than he was. Even those people had spoken, so what else did he have to care about? "Drogo, you have to think clearly. If you join my army, the Centaur tribe led by you will become my people and subordinates. You must obey my orders."
Drogo didn't take it seriously when he heard this. In fact, there was no difference between them now.
"I've thought it through, but there's one thing I must make clear."
"What's up?"
"That means you can't stop us from looking for other people of our tribe."
[Speaking of which, they recruited this lizardman from their tribe. ]
A thought flashed through his mind, and Zhou Xu looked at Drogo and asked the doubts in his heart.
"May I ask why you are so anxious to find your tribe members?"
After asking this question, Zhou Xu added another sentence casually.
"If it's inconvenient to say, it doesn't matter if you don't say it. I just want to understand it briefly."
After all, when Drogo and the others left, he said that he had something to do, but he didn't intend to tell him what he was going to do.
This caused Zhou Xu to have some misunderstandings, thinking that it was something secret that was not convenient to tell him.
Drogo scratched his hair in response.
"Actually, it's not that it's inconvenient to talk about it. It's just that this matter has nothing to do with you. There's no need to talk about it. To put it bluntly, there are no women in our tribe anymore."
“…”
Looking at Zhou Xu's face, which seemed to have no idea what expression to make, Drogo quickly added another sentence.
"This way we won't be able to have offspring, and our clan will be wiped out!"
"!!"
If you think about it this way, it is indeed a matter of life and death for the entire clan.
However, this is clearly not the end.
"I'm almost twenty-five now. The natural lifespan of our Centaur race is only sixty years. Although some live to be seventy, there is not much time left for me."
This was somewhat beyond Zhou Xu's expectations.
After learning from the experience of the prairie elves, he subconsciously believed that the centaurs had better innate physical fitness than humans, and their natural lifespan should also be longer than that of humans.
Who would have thought that it is shorter than humans.
Of course, this is based on Zhou Xu's normal thinking, assuming that the average human lifespan is eighty or ninety years old.
Although living conditions have improved and nutrition has improved now, people in primitive times would most likely not live to that age.
If you think about it this way, the life span of the Centaurs might be longer than that of humans...
When he thought of this, Zhou Xu really felt a little melancholy.
But there was no point in worrying about this kind of problem now. He could just live as long as he could. What else could he do about this kind of thing? He put his energy back on Drogo in front of him.
"According to this statement, you are not young anymore, Drogo!"
In response, Drogo spread his hands.
"We centaurs become adults at the age of ten. My age is considered middle-aged in the tribe."
Zhou Xu nodded in understanding.
"The survival of your clan is indeed an important matter, but I still want to confirm one thing. After you come under my command, you will not continue to look for clan members outside, right?"
This is a very important question. If Drogo and his men just want to hang a name here and collect a salary without paying, using the resources of their Great Zhou and looking for clan members outside, then wouldn't he be a sucker? Drogo is not a fool, and naturally understands what Zhou Xu means.
"You can rest assured about this. We have found some traces of our tribesmen in the world of the Lizardmen. But it is impossible for us to go there and look for them now. We have to wait until we defeat the Lizardmen. Before that, we, the Centaurs, will be on standby at any time and obey your orders!"
"Of course, after that, I hope you can help us find our people."
Hearing this, Zhou Xu nodded slightly.
It was not that he could not accept Drogo's condition. As for what happened next, they would talk about it later. In the current situation, if they could not resolve the threat from the Lizardmen, then everything would be in vain.
"Okay, I agree! As long as you Centaurs join me and serve me, then after we defeat the Lizardmen, I promise to help you find traces of your people in the other world!"
Having said that, no further words are needed.
Drogo was seen bending one of his front legs.
"Drogo, meet the leader!"
