Chapter 1317 Can That Be Called Checks and Balances?
Since the death of the Greenskin Emperor, among the powerful people known to Saint Laurent I, he thought that the only one who could pose a threat to him was Black Sparrow, who cremated the Greenskin Emperor on the spot.
Just now, he discovered that there was another Emperor Zhou whose strength had reached the out-of-body realm and who could also pose a threat to him.
And now...
Oh my goodness! He discovered that the Black Sparrow and Emperor Zhou, who could pose a threat to him at this stage, were actually in the same group! Saint Laurent I was completely paralyzed at this moment.
Judging from the current situation, the Great Zhou Dynasty, with just Emperor Zhou who has reached the out-of-body realm, is enough to form a balance of power with him in terms of high-end combat power. At least if the two sides go to war, the existence of Emperor Zhou will prevent him from acting rashly.
Under this premise, if we add the black sparrow...
There is no chance of fighting anymore!
At this moment, Saint Laurent I suddenly missed the green-skinned emperor a little bit. When that guy was alive, they at least checked and balanced each other, and everyone had face. At the same time, under normal circumstances, they didn't need to worry about their lives at all.
Now that the green-skinned emperor is dead, Saint Laurent I originally thought that no one could check and balance him.
Well, it's true that no one can check and balance him.
Can that be called checks and balances? If these two were put together, they could just cremate him! This time, Saint Laurent I was a little upset.
During this process, it was impossible for Zhou Xu not to notice the abnormality of Saint Laurent I.
He could clearly feel that after Xuan Yu came over, Saint Laurent I's emotional fluctuations became more exaggerated, even exceeding the fluctuations after he exposed his strength.
Because of this, the opponent even hit one of his own powerful Vajra Realm warriors so hard that he vomited blood and fell to the ground.
This is also the main reason why he dealt with his rebellious son on the spot.
To put it bluntly, it is to further test the reaction of Saint Laurent I.
As expected, his actions made Saint Laurent I's emotions even more exaggerated, and he even lost control at one point.
This made Zhou Xu even more curious.
[What on earth did this rebellious son Xuan Yu do to make Saint Laurent I, who is in the Zongheng realm, react so violently after seeing it? ]
But he couldn't ask Saint Laurent I directly about this matter. After all, wouldn't it expose the fact that he knew nothing?
As Zhou Xu thought about it, he glanced at Xuan Yu who was on his shoulder with a meaningful expression.
Saint Laurent I, who saw this scene, took a deep breath inwardly, and his fear grew even deeper.
During this time, he placed his hand on the long dining table, and the next second, the entire dining table fell to the ground with a loud bang.
When Saint Laurent I saw this, his expression remained calm, as if he had expected it.
"This table is of poor quality. Change it."
Marshal Adolf reacted quickly.
"Wait a moment, I will have someone prepare it right away."
Within a short while, Marshal Adolf had a large round table used for meetings brought over to serve as their dining table.
During this time, the collapsed Balem and the Vajra Realm general who was vomiting blood and fell to the ground after being hit by Saint Laurent I were also carried away by the attendants.
Various kinds of wine and meat were soon served on the table.
In order to prepare for this celebratory banquet, Saint Laurent I had a cow slaughtered!
You know, in this era, no matter which country it is, cattle are important agricultural animals, and the labor force of a cow is equivalent to that of several adults.
Even in the Saint Laurent Empire, unless the cow died accidentally or from old age, it is illegal to kill the cow and eat its meat. This also makes beef extremely precious and expensive.
It is not difficult to see from this that Saint Laurent I attached great importance to this celebration banquet.
The entire round table was soon filled with wine, meat and food. The aroma of meat aroused everyone's appetite.
Everyone present was very knowledgeable and smart, and at this moment they seemed to have forgotten what had just happened. After waiting for the host, Saint Laurent I, to give a simple toast, the dinner officially began.
As they drank and ate meat, the atmosphere, which was originally somewhat subtle, gradually became harmonious.
During this time, compared to Saint Laurent I who was obviously still a little restrained, Zhou Xu did not feel uncomfortable at all and was eating the roast beef on the table with relish.
After all, even in their Great Zhou, the policies regarding oxen were basically the same.
Even for Zhou Xu, this beef is not available whenever he wants.
Although Zhou Xu thought the cooking method and taste were average, he still ate a lot of it because it was beef.
[It would be even better if we could have a beef hot pot and a sesame oil dipping sauce. ]
Zhou Xu was thinking while eating.
It was a rare occasion to have beef, but he thought it was a bit unrefined to just grill it casually.
But after all, we are on someone else's territory, so we can't make too many demands.
During the period, Marshal Adolf took on the task of livening up the atmosphere, raising his glass frequently and delivering one toast after another.
At first, Zhou Xu raised his glass twice symbolically, but later on, he was so obsessed with showing off the beef that he didn't even bother to raise it.
Anyway, there is no one who dares to force him to drink, so there is nothing wrong with just being a happy eater.
This posture attracted the attention of everyone present, including Lex.
They always felt that this incredibly powerful Emperor Zhou was not the same as they had expected.
After three rounds of drinks, everyone was full and satisfied, and Marshal Adolf slowly turned the topic to the subsequent actions against the greenskins.
Before this, they had been fighting with the greenskin royal army for such a long time. Now it was only the third day since the end of the war. It was definitely impossible for them to gather their troops and pursue them so quickly.
For soldiers, fatigue will continue to accumulate during long-term combat. They need more time to take a thorough rest so as to fully release the accumulated fatigue and better carry out subsequent combat.
Obviously, they did not consider competing for that little time with the greenskins. The greenskins' innate advantages are there, and their recovery ability can be said to be far better than that of the human race.
In this situation, a hasty pursuit would only lead to the destruction of their own troops.
Instead of chasing after them in a hurry, it is better to rest enough before setting off again.
Anyway, the green-skinned emperor is dead now, and they now have two top combat forces, Saint Laurent I and Emperor Zhou.
After that, they fought against the greenskin army again. The high-end combat power of the opponent was no longer a threat to them. To put it bluntly, they killed one by one, without any hesitation! Once the high-end combat power of the greenskins was wiped out, it was only a matter of time before the low-end combat power was wiped out by them.
Of course, Marshal Adolf obviously did not intend to drag this matter on for too long. In the end, the result reached by all parties after discussion was that after seven days of rest, a vanguard force would be sent out to search for the traces of the greenskins, and their coalition forces would officially set out on the tenth day!
"Please rest assured, during this period, the daily expenses of the coalition forces will be borne by our Saint Laurent Empire! At the same time, in order to thank you for your help this time, we will send you gifts later."
The Saint Laurent Empire showed its wealth without any concealment.
But think about it, as the most powerful empire in this area, they have gathered countless resources together. After five generations of development, they have accumulated astonishing wealth!
