Chapter 1300: Contact between the two sides
The border fortress of the Saint Laurent Empire has a relatively large internal space. After they moved in with a large force of reinforcements, Marshal Adolf immediately ordered people to arrange a place for them to camp.
As soon as Zhou Xu returned to the camp riding Qiansui and a group of elven knights, he learned that "the death of the greenskin emperor has been confirmed and Saint Laurent I will hold a celebration banquet in three days."
He could probably understand Saint Laurent I's thoughts.
On the one hand, the reinforcements, including those from their Great Zhou, had come from afar, and it would be unacceptable for the Saint Laurent Empire, as the host, not to entertain them well.
On the other hand, they had just won a great victory against the greenskins, and now it has been confirmed that the greenskin emperor is dead. Taking this opportunity, it is normal to hold a celebration banquet to boost morale.
In this process, the death of the Greenskin Emperor was undoubtedly a good thing for Zhou Xu.
As an enemy, the Greenskin Emperor posed too great a threat to him.
As soon as the other party died, Zhou Xu felt as if he had been freed from some kind of restraint, and he felt a lot more relaxed.
[I didn't expect that Saint Laurent I was really capable. ]
Next they will certainly pursue the victory and wipe out the remnants of the greenskin army.
After all, that group of greenskins are said to be the remnants, but there are still many greenskin warriors at the Vajra Realm level among them.
When that group of green-skinned warriors gather together, they can be regarded as a huge threat even to their Great Zhou and the Saint Laurent Empire, not to mention other forces.
This matter may be discussed at the celebration banquet three days later, or it may be discussed the day after the celebration banquet.
Zhou Xu was not in a hurry at the moment. After all, the coalition army now had Saint Laurent I as its backup, and he had also successfully broken through and cultivated to the out-of-body realm. When the time came to face the greenskin army again, wouldn't he be able to defeat them easily?
With this mentality, he returned to the camp and did what he should do.
During this time, before dark, the Giant Eagle Knights who were sent out to look for the traces of the Formation Trap and the logistics troops returned.
"Reporting to your majesty, the location of the trap camp and the logistics troops has been confirmed. They were indeed attacked by the enemy's goblin wolf cavalry, but when I found them, the enemy's goblin wolf cavalry had already been successfully repelled."
"How long will it take them to get here?"
"Roughly estimated, two days later."
Considering the speed at which the heavy armored and logistics troops move, this distance is surprisingly close.
After that, Zhou Xu didn’t think much about it. He simply finished his dinner, listened to Li Ce’s report, and then prepared to rest.
"Why? Is there anything else?"
"It's about the Centaur Cavalry from the Saint Laurent Empire."
After hearing this, Zhou Xu just said "hmm" and motioned Li Ce to continue.
As for the Centaur cavalry of the Saint Laurent Empire, he was flying in the sky with Yalvette at the time and of course he noticed it.
However, this group of Centaur cavalry is from the Saint Laurent Empire after all, and the specific situation is not clear for the time being. He cannot show too much concern for the troops of other countries. If he is not careful, he may easily get into trouble.
Therefore, Zhou Xu and Li Ce's idea has always been to keep their troops in place and observe for a while.
Now it seems that something is happening.
"As soon as the war was over, they came over and wanted to contact Diak and his team. They even invited Diak and his team to visit their camp."
“…”
If this group of Centaur cavalry were from the Saint Laurent Empire, then this action would be somewhat inappropriate.
I wanted to observe for a while longer, but you took action first?
With this thought in mind, Zhou Xu asked...
"Where do they come from?"
Zhou Xu knew that the Centaurs were mercenaries in war, but there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be some like Drogo and Diak who were recruited by the state. After all, they themselves were the best examples.
Faced with the question, Li Ce showed a smile.
"Since they came to me on their own initiative, I asked Diack to have a chat with them."
Compared with Joseph, Diak was more experienced. After a few words, he obtained a lot of information very smoothly.
"It is now basically certain that the Centaur Cavalry of the Saint Laurent Empire is a mercenary. However, due to the existence of the greenskins, this Centaur Cavalry is basically hired by the Saint Laurent Empire all year round, and even their tribe has been settled behind the border."
"The Saint Laurent Empire has provided them with a comfortable environment, which has allowed their tribe to expand significantly over the years. There are about 800 young and strong men serving as combatants. If we also include the elderly, the weak, women and children who remain in the tribe, and considering the nature of the Centaur tribe, the entire tribe should have at least 1,000 to 2,000 people."
Needless to say, this is an exciting number.
If they could successfully recruit these Centaur mercenaries and then merge them with the Centaur tribe they have, the size of the Centaur tribe within their Great Zhou would be able to expand rapidly.
But now this matter is obviously not that simple.
The Saint Laurent Empire's long-term hiring of Centaur cavalry to fight for it is certainly intended to spend money to increase its combat power, but who can guarantee that the other party is not eyeing this group of Centaur mercenaries?
Or to put it simply, the other party is 100% planning this!
Zhou Xu was not afraid that Diak and the others would be fooled by the other side. After all, Diak and the others' loyalty to him was guaranteed.
But judging from the current situation, it may not be so easy to fool the other side.
And in this process, you also have to take into account the existence of the Saint Laurent Empire.
To a certain extent, even if they succeeded, they would only be intercepting the Saint Laurent Empire, and by then there was no guarantee that the Saint Laurent Empire would not have ideas about them.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu hesitated for a moment and then spoke slowly...
"Since the other party has invited us, let Diak and the others go to their camp and take a look. By the way, let Diak find an opportunity to test the other party's intentions."
"I understand!"
After Li Ce left, Zhou Xu went to bed early. After a busy day, he was tired.
I slept very deeply and overslept the next day, waking up an hour later than usual.
But it didn't matter anyway, so Zhou Xu didn't care.
While having breakfast, Zhou Xu asked Li Ce to send someone to inform the Saint Laurent Empire that their logistics troops would arrive in the next two days, and at the same time send a small team of cavalry to take the initiative to support them, so as to avoid any unnecessary trouble at that time.
The whole thing went very smoothly.
At this stage, the reinforcements including the Great Zhou and the Saint Laurent Empire seem to be in a honeymoon period. In short, everything can be easily discussed.
However, once the Saint Laurent Empire learns that the two Centaurs have begun to come into contact, it is hard to say whether this honeymoon period can be maintained...
