Chapter 417: Gap
As a warrant officer stationed at the border for a long time, Drogo undoubtedly has his own exclusive tent at the garrison camp.
Returning to his tent after a long absence, Drogo quickly took off all his equipment and collapsed on his bed in a relaxed state.
When he first came back, he didn't actually feel that tired.
But after his mind was completely relaxed, an intense feeling of fatigue surged like a tide, as if to completely swallow him up.
On the way back to the tent, Drogo checked the time, which was three o'clock in the afternoon.
"I should be fine after a short nap..."
As he was muttering to himself, loud snoring sounds soon came from Drogo's tent, causing the patrolling soldiers passing by outside to glance sideways.
At this point in time, they were the only ones who dared to sleep like this in the tent.
Drogo, who had received long-term military training, had a very accurate biological clock and woke up on time at around four o'clock in the evening.
The high-quality deep sleep is really enviable. It is visibly seen that his entire mental state has improved a lot.
He did not forget what he had promised Joseph. After stretching hard, he came to the tent where Diak and his friends were resting.
The tent was unexpectedly quiet. Drogo subconsciously recalled Joseph's noisy appearance when he left. The contrast with the quietness at this moment was extreme, which surprised him a little.
As this thought flashed through his mind, Drogo walked in.
Joseph, who was feeling bored in the tent at the time, immediately became excited when he saw him come in.
"Drogo, you're finally here!"
Joseph's shout made Diak and others who were resting with their eyes closed in the tent open their eyes in annoyance.
They were very tired after the journey. Although they couldn't really relax and rest completely in other people's camps, it would be good to take a nap.
During this process, some Centaurs even fell asleep until they were awakened by Joseph's voice.
"It seems that I came at the wrong time. In fact, this is just a camp. There is nothing to see. If you are too tired, continue to rest."
From Drogo's perspective, what he said was undoubtedly the truth.
It was just a garrison camp, and there wasn't much to see. What was there to see? Diak and his men didn't care much about it. In fact, they really preferred to rest at this moment.
But when Joseph heard this, he immediately became unhappy.
"No, I've been waiting till now!"
Diak rolled his eyes at Joseph's protest.
[This kid, I just warned him not to talk nonsense! ]
[But never mind, it's good to take a look at this camp. ]
Thinking of this, Diak stood up slowly.
"Well then, I'll trouble you, Drogo, to show us around."
Hearing this, the centaurs in the tent stood up one after another, led by Drogo, and began to walk around the camp.
Although this garrison is large, as Drogo said, there is really not much to see.
In essence, this is just a border camp used to provide soldiers with a place to rest. What's so special about it?
Of course, this is from Drogo's perspective.
From the perspective of Diak and others, the impact it brought to them is quite significant.
It's not just the scale, but also the details and quality of the various facilities, including the tents.
In fact, after Drogo left, Diak and the others carefully looked at the tent they were in.
Compared with the tents in their village, the gap between the two sides was almost visible to the naked eye.
And this is just their garrison camp.
A garrison camp that was bigger and better built than their village! Invisibly, Diak's mood became a little heavy.
From these details, he could see the difference in strength. The strength of this "Great Zhou" was probably far beyond their expectations.
But in fact, Diak and his team were only half right.
The strength of the Great Zhou was indeed far beyond their expectations, but this strength was reflected in many aspects.
For example, productivity, technical strength, etc.
In these aspects, the Great Zhou Dynasty definitely beats them, there is no doubt about that.
But if we only take "military strength" into consideration, the Great Zhou might not be able to defeat the Centaurs on the other side.
You know, if the enemy does not have large units, the bulky three-bow crossbow is basically of little use, and if it is used forcibly, it will not show much lethality.
In this case, the key to victory or defeat depends on the main combat arms of both sides, the cavalry!
The Centaurs were basically all soldiers. With hundreds of Centaurs facing an equal number of Human Cavalry, what advantage would the Human Cavalry have? The only uncertainty was how much value the twenty Elf Knights led by Silk and Zhou Xu's Skeleton Army could bring to the battle.
Generally speaking, the military strength of both sides can barely reach a level of equal strength.
Once the battle starts, if the large Centaur army can defeat them in one wave, they will be doomed.
On the contrary, if it becomes a protracted war, considering that the Great Zhou has far superior logistical capabilities to the enemy, the Centaurs will undoubtedly be defeated.
Of course, this is just a simple analysis made after weighing the strength of both sides. If a real fight breaks out, we have to take into account various influencing factors and actual performance. It is not that we will definitely win just by talking about it on paper.
After the tour, when they returned to the tent where Diak and his friends were resting, it was almost time for dinner.
Normally speaking, according to the customs of their Great Zhou, one would have to queue up to get food.
However, Drogo and his men had just returned from a mission, and they also brought a delegation from the opposing side, so Li Ce would definitely give them some preferential treatment.
On the one hand, it was to entertain the delegation, and on the other hand, it was to reward Zhuogo and his men who had returned from their mission. Li Ce specifically instructed the kitchen to upgrade their meals and arranged the dining place in his main tent.
Apart from the cafeteria, only his main tent could accommodate so many people dining at the same time.
Li Ce did send someone to inform Drogo, Silk and others about this matter.
Therefore, when the time came, Drogo took Diak and the others directly to the main tent.
The size of the main tent completely refreshed Diak and his friends' understanding of the concept of "tent".
After everyone took their seats, the food that had been prepared long ago was quickly served.
The main dish this time was five roasted whole lambs! Of course there were other side dishes and food, but there was no doubt that their attention was on the roasted whole lambs.
After the fat lamb is roasted until golden and juicy, just sprinkle some coarse salt on it and it will become the ultimate delicacy.
The double stimulation of smell and vision was enough for Diak and his friends who had never tasted this kind of food before.
Even Drogo and Silk could no longer control their stomachs and began to growl wildly! (End of this chapter)
