Chapter 1300 Contact between both sides
The internal space of the Saint Laurent Empire's border fortress was relatively large. After they moved in with a large reinforcement force, Marshal Adolf immediately ordered people to arrange a place for them to camp.
As soon as Zhou Xu returned to the camp with a group of elf knights riding a thousand years old, he learned that "the death of the green-skinned emperor was confirmed, and Saint Laurent I would hold a celebration banquet three days later."
He can probably understand Saint Laurent I's thoughts.
On the one hand, reinforcements including their great Zhou came from afar. As the host, the Saint Laurent Empire would not be able to justify it if they did not entertain them well.
On the other hand, they had just won a big victory against the greenskins, and now it was confirmed that the greenskin emperor was dead. Taking this opportunity, they held a celebration banquet to boost morale, which was considered normal operation. .
In this process, the death of the green-skinned emperor was undoubtedly a good thing for Zhou Xu.
As an enemy, the green-skinned emperor posed too great a threat to him.
As soon as the other party died, Zhou Xu felt as if some kind of restraint had been lifted, and his whole body felt much more relaxed.
[I didn’t expect that Saint Laurent I really had two brushes. 】
Next, they will definitely pursue the victory and wipe out the remnants of the green-skinned army.
After all, that group of greenskins is said to be a remnant, but there are still many greenskin powerhouses at the Vajra level among them.
The gathering of those green-skinned warriors can be considered a huge threat even to them, the Great Zhou and Saint Laurent Empires, let alone 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 is not in a hurry at the moment. After all, Saint Laurent I is in charge of the alliance, and he has successfully broken through and cultivated to the level of the out-of-body realm. When the time comes, he will face the green-skinned army. Just pinch it with your hand?
With this mentality, he did whatever he had to do when he returned to the camp.
During this period, before dark, the giant eagle knights sent out to search for traces of the trapped camp and logistics troops came back.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the positions of the trapped camp and logistics troops have been confirmed. They were indeed attacked by the enemy's Goblin Wolf Cavalry. However, when my subordinates found them, the enemy's Goblin Wolf Cavalry had been successfully defeated. Retired.”
"How long will it take for them to get here."
"Rough estimate, two days later."
Considering the movement speed of the heavy armored troops and logistics troops, this is surprisingly close.
Zhou Xu didn't think much after that. After simply finishing his dinner and listening to Li Ce's report, Zhou Xu was ready to rest.
"What? Is there anything else?"
"It's about the centaur cavalry from the Saint Laurent Empire."
After hearing this, Zhou Xu said "hmm" and signaled Li Ce to continue.
As for the centaur cavalry of the Saint Laurent Empire, he was flying in the sky with Yalvette, so of course he noticed it.
However, this centaur cavalry is from the Saint Laurent Empire after all. The specific situation is not yet clear. He can't show too much concern for the troops of other countries. If he is not careful, he can easily cause trouble.
Therefore, Zhou Xu and Li Ce's idea has always been to stay put and observe for a while before talking.
Now it seems that something is happening.
"As soon as the battle was over, they came over and wanted to make contact with Diack and the others. They even invited Diack and the others to their camp as guests."
"..."
If this centaur cavalry is a force of the Saint Laurent Empire, then this approach is somewhat inappropriate. I wanted to observe it for a while longer, but you took the first step?
With this thought, Zhou Xu asked...
"Where did they come from?"
Zhou Xu knew that the centaurs were war mercenaries, but there was no guarantee that some would not be recruited by national forces like Drogo and Diak. After all, they themselves were the best examples.
Facing the question, Li Ce showed a smile on his face.
"Since the other party took the initiative to come to the door, the general asked Diack to have a chat with them."
Compared with that boy Joseph, Diack was relatively experienced in doing things. After a few words of conversation, he successfully obtained a lot of information.
"Now it is basically certain that the centaur cavalry of the Saint Laurent Empire are mercenaries. However, due to the existence of green skins, this centaur cavalry is basically employed by the Saint Laurent Empire all year round, and even the clan has been Placed behind the border ”
"The Saint Laurent Empire has provided them with a comfortable environment, allowing them to expand the size of their ethnic group a lot over the years. There are about 800 young and middle-aged men as combatants alone. If we include the old, weak, women and children who remain in the ethnic group, , considering the nature of the centaur group, there are only one or two thousand in a whole group.”
Needless to say, this is an exciting number.
If they can successfully recruit this group of centaur mercenaries and then merge them with the centaur group in their hands, the size of their centaur group in the Great Zhou Dynasty will be able to expand rapidly.

But now this matter is obviously not that simple.
The Saint Laurent Empire hires centaur cavalry to fight for itself all year round. Of course, it means spending money to increase its combat power, but who can guarantee that the other party is not targeting this group of centaur mercenaries?
Or to put it simply, the other party is 100% planning on this!
Zhou Xu was not afraid that Diack and the others would be fooled by the other side. After all, Diack and the others' loyalty to him was guaranteed.
But judging from the current situation, it might not be that 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 still have defeated the Saint Laurent Empire. There is no guarantee that the Saint Laurent Empire would not have any thoughts about them.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu slowly spoke after pondering for a while...
"Since the other party invited them, let Diack and the others go to the other party's camp to have a look. By the way, let Diak find an opportunity to test the other party's ideas."
"You will finally understand!"
After Li Ce resigned, Zhou Xu went to bed early. He was tired after a day of hard work.
I slept very deeply, and I overslept the next day and woke up an hour later than usual.
But it's okay anyway, and Zhou Xu doesn't care.
While eating breakfast, Zhou Xu asked Li Ce to send someone to the Saint Laurent Empire to inform them that their logistics troops would arrive in the next two days. At the same time, he sent a small group of cavalry to take the initiative to meet them, so as to avoid anything happening then. Unnecessary trouble.
The whole thing went very smoothly.
At this stage, the reinforcements including the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Saint Laurent Empire feel like they are in the honeymoon period. In short, everything is easy to discuss.
But after the Saint Laurent Empire learns that the Centaur cavalry on both sides have begun to make contact, it is hard to say whether this honeymoon period can be maintained...
