Chapter 528 Centaur Land
Of course Zhou Xu had given serious consideration to the question of where the tribal land for the Centaurs should be located.
He has to consider the overall layout and cannot just arrange it in any random location.
With this thought in mind, Zhou Xu brought Drogo and the others to an open space.
This open space is close to the ruins of the previous elven village, but the location has been appropriately adjusted.
If you look down at the entire grassland from above, you will find that this location forms a triangle with their Great Zhou garrison camp and the grassland village.
This area on the edge of the world can be considered an important line of defense.
Assuming that something happens over there, the garrison camp can directly ask for help from the Centaurs. The support efficiency at this location is faster than that of the grassland village.
In addition, Zhou Xu had undoubtedly made preparations for the worst case scenario, which was what if the Centaurs wanted to turn against them?
Then the location of the other clan’s land will be directly attacked from both sides by their grassland village and garrison camp!
"This is it. What do you think, Chief Diak?"
Zhou Xu directly allocated a piece of land to them, so naturally there were no other facilities. This was also what they had determined at the beginning.
After all, the two sides were in a cooperative relationship. The existence of the Lizardmen at that time was a common threat to them, and the Centaurs' participation in the war was actually helping themselves.
Not to mention that after the battlefield moved to the rainforest area, they basically only stayed in the plains to provide support, and later it was all up to their Great Zhou's sword and shield troops to fight there themselves.
So when Zhou Xu recruited the Lizardmen and obtained the spoils, Diak didn't say anything.
Under this premise, this piece of tribal land can be regarded as compensation for not getting any spoils of war.
Looking at the vast grassland in front of him, Diak felt a little excited but also a little stressed.
During the period after the death of the old patriarch, Diak had been wandering in the wild with his tribesmen. After successfully joining forces with the Great Zhou army, they just had to follow the rhythm of the Great Zhou army.
Therefore, he had never really taken care of things related to camp building, and he had not had many opportunities to exercise his abilities as a patriarch.
Now that there is such a piece of vacant land in front of him, he really feels like he doesn't know where to start.
Perhaps noticing this, Zhou Xu's voice rang out from the side...
"I'll ask Drogo and the others to bring some supplies, and send some more people over to help you. Just consider it a small help from an ally."
Hearing this, Diak's face immediately showed gratitude.
"Your Majesty, I really don't know how to thank you enough."
In this regard, Zhou Xu did not bother to be polite with Diack and the others, but directly stated...
"I do have a favor to ask of you."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"It's about Drogo and his tribe. Chief Diak, as you know, Drogo and his tribe have lost their inheritance, so I hope that Chief Diak can teach them some of the Centaur's inherited skills so that their tribe can also be passed on smoothly."
"That's easy. Leave it to me."
Faced with Zhou Xu's request, Diak patted his chest and agreed.
The inherited skills of their Centaur tribe can only be used by themselves, so there is no need to worry about them leaking out. Besides, Drogo himself is of the same tribe as them, and teaching them will also be beneficial to the inheritance of their Centaur tribe. Naturally, Diak doesn't mind this.
After saying this, Zhou Xu did not stay here for long and went straight back to Caoyuan Village.
Later, the Centaurs, led by Drogo, came with manpower and supplies to help the Centaurs build a camp.
The snowfall was not heavy before, and the snow in the wild was not thick at this moment. The Centaurs were generally strong and healthy, and with the help of the snow shovels brought from the grassland village, they quickly cleared a piece of land and successfully built a large camp.
From a distance, this has already formed a tribal camp of considerable size.
"Chief Diak, the temperature will be very low at night after winter comes here. We are afraid that you will not be able to adapt to it, so our king asked me to send you some blankets, as well as some coal and food. The coal is for making fire."
Drogo helped unload the cargo while introducing Diak to it.
When dealing with allies, Zhou Xu’s main strategy is to leave them speechless.
At this moment, Diak could only keep expressing his gratitude.
At the same time, Diak took this opportunity to tell Drogo and the others about what Zhou Xu had told him before, that he would teach them the inherited skills.
"Anyway, just come over when the time comes, and I'll teach you."
"Okay!"
With a response, thinking that the Centaurs had just completed the construction of the camp and there should be a lot of things to do inside, Drogo did not plan to stay here for long and quickly said goodbye and left.
After watching Drogo and his men leave, Diak turned around and looked at the tribal camp that had been built in a proper manner. Even compared to their original camp, it was not much different.
Even considering the resources and daily necessities that the Great Zhou sent them, things are probably better than before.
But looking at their own tribal camp, somehow, what came to Diak's mind was always the grassland village.
After comparing the before and after, the gap cannot be said to be big, but there is no comparability at all.
Thinking of this, Diak felt a little melancholy.
They shook their heads vigorously to get rid of the melancholy mood. It was more important for them to live their own lives well.
Amid the busy work, the sky gradually darkened.
For some reason, at this moment, Joseph's emotions became inexplicably agitated.
Then, when he saw the tribesmen nearby making a fire and cooking, Joseph slapped his forehead and suddenly realized.
"I should be rushing to the cafeteria to queue up for food now!"
Hearing this, Diak, who was just passing by, rolled his eyes and slapped Joseph on the back of the head.
"Fuck! Why are you hitting me again?!"
"Stop talking nonsense and go help me. You don't want to eat, right?!"
As Diak spoke, he pointed to the tribesmen who were busy making a fire and cooking.
As soon as these words were spoken, Joseph, who had always been an enthusiastic eater, stopped talking and ran to help.
At this stage, the Centaurs have basically no food, and hunting here in winter is not so easy.
Zhou Xu knew this, so the supplies he sent them included more than a dozen jars of pickled vegetables, some pickled meat, and a large amount of flatbreads.
If you eat sparingly and go hunting from time to time, you can still get by.
