Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1608 Launch Action
At the same time, in the Grassland Military Region...

Peter had to admit that he was a little nervous when he received the order.

The comfortable life of training soldiers finally left him.

This time, he will lead the musket troops as a general, and go into battle with the Xianzhen Camp and the Centaur Cavalry on the grassland.

And the opponent they need to face is the Saint Laurent Empire!
Back then, when he was still the leader of a party in the Smith Republic, if he had heard that he was going to go to war with the Saint Laurent Empire, he would have been so anxious that he would have been unable to sleep or eat.

But the current situation is surprisingly good.

After all, the news has been confirmed, and the Emperor will personally rush to the Plains Fortress for this operation.

Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up, so it will never be his turn to bear the pressure.

The initial nervousness was simply because I had been comfortable for too long, and suddenly something happened, so I was a little uncomfortable.

Having also received the order, a number of transport ships have been on standby at the Black Moon Port, ready to board and set off as soon as the troops from the grassland arrive.

During this time, in Copperforge Fort, after a period of time, the troops led by Saint Laurent I had turned the entire Copperforge Fort upside down, but they could not even find the shadow of the steam engine.

At first, Saint Laurent I thought that they might have missed something. After all, the structure of Copperforge was indeed complicated. He asked them to continue searching, but still found nothing...

"No? How could there be no?!"

After listening to the latest report, Saint Laurent I was a little overwhelmed.

He attacked Copperforge this time just to get the steam engine, but you told him that he didn't find the steam engine?!
Under this premise, many dwarves from Copperforge escaped.

Saint Laurent I frowned suddenly when he thought of this...

[Did they take the steam engine away? Or was it destroyed?! ]

He is not a fool, and related speculations have always existed in his mind.

These thoughts flashed through his mind again at this moment, making Saint Laurent I even more irritated.

At the same time, in this irritability, there is also a hint of regret?

Saint Laurent I was not sure, or did not want to admit it, and even became paranoid about it...

【Wrong? What could I have done wrong?! 】

[The development of the Great Zhou has surpassed that of the Saint Laurent Empire. If it continues to develop, the gap will only get bigger! ]

[Rather than waiting until the gap widens and you completely lose the power to resist, it is better to give it a try now while the gap is not that big! ]

【I am right! 】

[Although I didn't find the steam engine this time, I did manage to capture Tonglu Fort! Tonglu Fort is a military stronghold. I can now completely rely on the geographical advantages of Tonglu Fort to contain Da Zhou! ]

The voice in his mind quickly convinced Saint Laurent I and made his will firm again.

"Since we've already done it, let's just do it once and for all! Before the Great Zhou can react, we can directly break through their border and reduce the Great Zhou's military strength!"

With this thought in mind, Saint Laurent I quickly gave the order.

"Pass on my order! Gather the troops and attack the border of Great Zhou!"

During this period of time, the road in the back mountain has been cleared, and the corpse poison in Saint Laurent I's body has also been cleaned up.

Corpse poison is a special manifestation of undead energy, and essentially represents "death".

Any living thing must have life energy in its body, and warriors like Saint Laurent I who are at the Horizontal Realm have even stronger vitality. The two diametrically opposite energies are inherently mutually exclusive.

If Saint Laurent I is out of battle, it would not be difficult to get rid of the corpse poison as long as he is given enough time.

On this side, the order of Saint Laurent I to attack the Great Zhou was issued. With a mentality of speed being of the essence, the large army of the Saint Laurent Empire was ready to set out that afternoon.

Thanks to the Giant Eagle Knights' full surveillance, they basically noticed any movement here and brought the news back to the Plains Fortress as soon as possible.

After confirming the situation, Shi Lei remained very calm.

As early as when he learned that the Saint Laurent Empire had attacked Copperforge, Shi Lei had already prepared himself mentally to be attacked by the Saint Laurent Empire as well.

Now that the news has been confirmed, Shi Lei quickly gave the order...

"Have the Giant Eagle Knight report the situation here to His Majesty as quickly as possible, and notify the dwarf tribe in the rear to move as soon as possible!"

This time, Carl brought tens of thousands of dwarves, if they were all gathered behind the Plains Fortress.

Once the war breaks out, if the large army of the Saint Roland Empire chooses to surround the Plain Fortress, the situation of these dwarves will be dangerous, and they may also be dragged down.

The best way is to let them retreat to Yuancheng, which is located further behind, in advance.

After quickly issuing these two orders, before the large army of the Saint Laurent Empire approached the border of their Great Zhou, out of caution, he had to check the deployment of their plain fortress again.

And during this process, a personal soldier ran over quickly...

"General, Lord Carl from the dwarf side wants to see you."

"Bring him here."

Soon, Karl came in front of Shi Lei.

Without further ado, he stated his purpose straight away.

"General Shi Lei, our troops from Copperforge are willing to send out three thousand musketeers and one thousand boar knights to help!"

When Shi Lei heard this, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

There was no tacit understanding between their plain fortress troops and the dwarf troops, which made Shi Lei worried.

But with a total of 4,000 troops, including 3,000 dwarf musketeers, this help should not be underestimated.

"Sir Karl, let me be frank with you. If you want to join the war, you must obey my command. In our Great Zhou army, disobeying orders and acting on your own is a capital crime!"

"General, please rest assured. I am not good at commanding operations. At that time, these 4,000 troops will be under your command. If they do not obey orders, please do whatever you want with them!"

Karl said this with absolute certainty, without the slightest hesitation.

Perhaps seeing Karl's awareness, Shi Lei nodded.

"Okay, have the soldiers line up in the fortress square. I'll be there shortly."

While they were carrying out the operation at full speed, the Saint Laurent Empire was also acting quickly.

After all, they have fought with the greenskin camp for so many years. As the main force of the former coalition forces, they are no rookies in fighting.

The next afternoon, the large army of the Saint Laurent Empire had already appeared on the outskirts of their plain fortress.

Although at this point in time, the other party has not officially crossed their border, but the purpose of such a large-scale battle is self-evident!
