Chapter 1364: Dealing with
Things Lex left, and Zhou Xu still did not show up during the entire process. In his opinion, this was not something he needed to worry about, so he just let Diak handle it himself.
During this period, outside Zhou Xu's tent...
"Your Majesty, General Li Ce requests an audience."
"allow."
With permission, Li Ce, dressed in military uniform, walked in quickly.
"General Li Ce pays respect to His Majesty!"
"No need to be polite. How are you doing with the thing I asked you to do before?"
Li Ce was not surprised at all when faced with Zhou Xu's inquiries. He came here just to report on this matter.
"Your Majesty, after receiving the news, I immediately went to negotiate with the Saint Laurent Empire, but was rejected. The other party was unwilling to trade the body of the King Kong Realm Greenskin to us."
Obviously, after Zhou Xu confirmed the effect of the 'Resurrection' mantra, he immediately ordered the Giant Eagle Knight to pass on a message, asking Li Ce to negotiate with the Saint Roland Empire to see if he could trade the corpses of the green-skinned Vajra Realm in the other party's hands.
In the previous battle outside the Saint Laurent Fortress, four powerful Vajra Realm-level warriors from the greenskin side were killed in total.
When dividing the spoils after the war, the Warrior Women and the Smith Republic did not have high demands for high-level corpses, so they directly exchanged them for other resources and withdrew from the competition for corpses.
The final result was that the Great Zhou and the Saint Laurent Empire each obtained two.
After the night attack, the situation became clearer.
Although the Saint Laurent Empire coveted the Blood Hand King's corpse, everyone with a discerning eye knew that it was Zhou Xu's trophy, so there was no dispute that the Blood Hand King's corpse belonged to them.
Afterwards, Saint Roland I killed three Vajra Realm greenskins in a row, and the Vajra Realm powerhouses of the Saint Roland Empire also joined forces to kill a Vajra Realm greenskin. A total of four, all of whom were trophies of the Saint Roland Empire. There was basically no dispute about this.
As for the Great Zhou, it did not achieve any results.
Zhou Xu was not surprised by this.
Fighting at night, the greenskins already had the advantage. Plus, Jie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan had just made breakthroughs, and were facing the same level of combat on the battlefield for the first time, so they were both mainly practicing.
Being able to fight the opponent to a draw in such an environment can be considered an outstanding performance in itself.
So after all this, it is currently known that there are six green-skinned corpses of the King Kong Realm in the hands of the Saint Laurent Empire! Now that Zhou Xu has the mantra of "Resurrection", he must be envious of this.
If they could get all six Vajra Realm corpses out, transform them into Undead, and allow them to regain their Vajra Realm combat power, then the strength of their Great Zhou would see a leap forward.
To put it bluntly, in terms of high-end combat power, they can instantly blow up the Saint Laurent Empire! But the reality is obviously not as simple as he wished.
The people over at the Saint Laurent Empire aren't fools either.
Not to mention that they also have Balem, a skeleton mage who has reached the saint level, high-level skeletons also have important strategic value to them.
Let’s say the Great Zhou is now very powerful. After confirming that Zhou Xu is a magician in the out-of-body realm, in terms of high-end combat power, the Great Zhou is almost on par with their Saint Roland Empire.
The current Saint Laurent Empire is already wary of them, and they will not easily accept any conditions that may enhance the strength of the Great Zhou, let alone trade the high-level skeletons on hand to the Great Zhou.
Even if they raise the stakes, the other party will only become more vigilant.
Zhou Xu nodded at the result, not too surprised.
"What about the other matter? Has the body of the holy goblin shaman been found?"
Zhou Xu felt a stomachache when he mentioned this.
In the case of conversion into Skeleton Soldiers, some units may be very strong when they are alive, but once they are converted into Skeleton Soldiers, their strength will plummet.
The mage is also a typical example.
To put it bluntly, the combat effectiveness of a skeleton soldier depends on the strength of his bones. A warrior's bones are stronger, while a mage's bones are basically the same strength as an ordinary person. It is even possible that a mage's bones are even weaker than an ordinary person due to years of meditation and lack of exercise, making their value as a skeleton soldier too low.
This also led to Zhou Xu, who was riding on the back of Pegasus at the time, throwing away the corpse after absorbing the other party's true words, thinking that the corpse was too troublesome.
But the situation is different now. After possessing the 'Resurrection' mantra, he can directly transform it into an undead with his own consciousness.
Under this premise, can he directly change his job to Skeleton Mage?
Although this is still just a guess, Zhou Xu has to admit that it is reasonable enough.
If the guess is correct, they, the Great Zhou Dynasty, may be able to obtain a "True Skeleton Mage" at the Saint Realm level in a short period of time! Zhou Xu regretted it when he thought of this.
But in fact, if the same situation happened again, unless he could predict the future, he would definitely make the same choice.
There is nothing controversial about this matter itself.
At this moment, facing his question, Li Ce's answer made him feel relieved.
"We found a suspected one."
"Okay! Hurry and move in the two corpses of the Vajra Realm and the corpse of the Blood Hand King!"
Zhou Xu said this with an impatient look on his face.
The characteristics of the Goblin Shaman's body are very obvious. He was burned to death by his fire mantra. At that time, there was basically no fire attack on the battlefield. It is rare to be burned so thoroughly given the physical characteristics. Generally speaking, it is still very recognizable.
As he was speaking, four corpses were brought in front of Zhou Xu. One of the charred skeletons immediately attracted all his attention.
There was no need to open the 'Eye of Secrets', Zhou Xu could confirm it with just a scan using his senses.
Not to mention the soul light balls of the Hundred Refining Realm warriors I had seen before, even compared to the soul light balls of the two Vajra Realm corpses and the Blood Hand King's corpse, the soul light ball in front of me was more dazzling, as bright as a 100-watt light bulb! Who else could it be except the goblin shaman who had entered the holy realm?
This undoubtedly proves Zhou Xu's previous guess, that the soul strength of a mage is indeed higher than that of a warrior.
At the same time, judging from the opponent's time of death and the state of his soul displayed at this moment, it is fully proved that the strength of the soul is indeed linked to the survival time after death.
"Okay, let me try now."
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Xu fixed his gaze on the corpse of the goblin shaman who had entered the holy realm in front of him.
The next second, the truth is activated!
[Skeleton soldiers resurrected! 】
The invisible power of the mantra drove the dazzling soul light ball into the charred corpse.
In an instant, a dark blue soul fire that had never been seen before burst out and engulfed the entire corpse!
In the soul fire, a "crackling" sound was heard, and the dry bones that were originally like charcoal, accompanied by this sound, slowly sat up from the ground...
