Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1629 Is it over?
"Good fellow, how many tricks do you have up your sleeve?"

Looking at the huge deep pit, Zhou Xu quickly scanned it with his mental power. With that one strike, the monster was evaporated without leaving any residue.

At the same time, Xuan Yu, who had just had a long-awaited pleasure, was extremely tired but very excited.

After hearing what his old father said, he rolled his eyes at him in annoyance.

Then, in the blink of an eye, its eyes became wise again, as if it had become a different bird...

This change made the stupid bird even more stupid. It had no idea what was happening the whole time, but it felt as if its body was inexplicably hollowed out. The unprecedented feeling of weakness almost made it fall from the sky.

Subconsciously, he wanted to land on his old father's head to rest, but he found that his old father was now a soul and there was nowhere to rest.

There was no other way, so the bird could only stagger and struggle to a large tree not far away, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to doubt the fate of the bird...

Who am I? Where am I now? What just happened?
Seeing this, Zhou Xu had become more or less accustomed to his rebellious son's daily schizophrenia and did not think much about it.

The main reason was that he was not in a good condition now. In order to ensure that he killed the monster, he did not hold back at all when he infused magic power into Xuan Yu at the end. Now the magic power in his body had run out.

He didn't feel anything when he was quite excited before, but now that he has calmed down a little, Zhou Xu suddenly feels that his consciousness is almost blurring.

But he still has things to do...

Thinking of this, Zhou Xu quickly pulled himself together and checked the huge pit again. After confirming that the monster had been evaporated, he flew to find Shi Lei.

While informing the other party that the monster had been dealt with, he asked Shi Lei to lead the team to deal with the remaining troops of Saint Laurent.

After arranging all these things, Zhou Xu finally felt relieved and returned to his body.

Inside the carriage, Zhou Xu, who had just returned to his physical body, felt that his condition had eased, but he was still exhausted and wished he could just take a nap.

But he knew that he still had to explain a few things first.

So he forced himself to open his eyes.

Noticing the commotion here, Jie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan, who had been guarding nearby the whole time, immediately looked over.

"Your Majesty, what's the situation at the front?"

"It has been resolved. Saint Laurent I is dead."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jie Liancheng, Zhou Chongshan and Zhuogo did not react, but Lex and Peter could not help but screamed on the spot.

As a mercenary leader who had been employed by the Saint Laurent Empire for many years, Lex had a relatively clear idea of ​​how powerful Saint Laurent I was.

Of course, he knew that Zhou Xu, as a magician in the out-of-body realm, was also very strong. Once the two of them fought, it would inevitably be a fierce battle with an unpredictable outcome.

Peter thought so too.

Who would have thought that the battle was over before they even arrived at the battlefield?!
They really wanted to ask about the follow-up, but Zhou Xu was obviously not in the mood.

"I need to recover now, you two can protect me."

Originally he wanted to take a nap first, but suddenly he found that there was natural energy that could be absorbed in this area, so he took a breath and recovered some magic power.

By the time they arrived at Yuancheng, all of Saint Laurent's army outside the city had been captured by Shi Lei.

After all, after Saint Laurent I died, the main generals of Saint Laurent's army, including Marshal Adolf, were also killed. Even though the surviving troops were still large in size, they were directly reduced to a mess due to the lack of leadership.

In addition, they had just experienced a series of shocking events, including Saint Laurent I's bloody sacrifice of Marshal Adolf and even a massacre of them. At this moment, everyone had lost the will to fight.

Under such circumstances, even if some Saint Laurent soldiers still wanted to resist, they would not be a match for the Great Zhou troops.

Before Shi Lei could even make any effort, the fleeing Saint Laurent troops were captured one after another.

"Your Majesty, the total number of Saint Laurent soldiers captured this time is 19,832..."

After arriving in Yuancheng, Shi Lei took the opportunity to report the casualties and gains of the battle to Zhou Xu.

"During this time, some enemy soldiers resisted, but we killed them all."

Zhou Xu nodded as he listened to the report, not thinking there was anything wrong.

This time they captured nearly 20,000 Saint Laurent prisoners of war. During this process, those who dared to resist would definitely be killed as a warning to others. Otherwise, they would not be able to intimidate these prisoners of war, and once these prisoners of war started trouble later, it would cause even greater trouble.

"Your Majesty, what are we going to do with these prisoners of war?"

"Gather the officers and send them to the Inspection Department for interrogation to see if they can get any information out of them. Ordinary prisoners should be sent to various areas in batches to serve as laborers. Do not allow large numbers of prisoners to gather together in the New Taipei area for a long time."

In a sense, this batch of prisoners of war came at the right time.

After all, in the past two years, their Great Zhou has been facing financial difficulties, and a large part of the reason for the financial difficulties is due to internal development and construction.

Under this premise, if they could invest nearly 20,000 cheap laborers who only needed to eat steamed buns and pickles every day and did not need to be paid, this would undoubtedly alleviate the financial problems of their Great Zhou to a certain extent.

During this period, Shi Lei naturally understood the intention of their Majesty to send the captives away in batches.

Nearly 20,000 prisoners of war are gathered here. The longer they stay, the greater the risk. Dispersing them and sending them away can be said to be the safest measure.

You don’t even have to wait until tomorrow.

When Zhou Xu arrived, the steam train had already stopped at Yuancheng Railway Station.

All they had to do was put the prisoners on steam trains in batches and transport them away.

Although they still had to rush to Pingyuan Fortress next, Zhou Xu had no plan to take the train.

After all, the Plain Fortress had fallen at one point, and now no one knew whether the railway tracks there had been damaged.

If we wait until the train has passed before discovering that the tracks are damaged, it will be much more difficult to deal with.

It would be better not to do this in the first place.

As soon as Zhou Xu gave the order, Shi Lei signaled the soldiers beside him to make arrangements.

During this time, Zhou Xu did not stop. While he was talking, a big black drum came into his sight.

Needless to say, this was the war drum that the Saint Laurent army was beating wildly when the two armies were fighting. Shi Lei knew at that time that this war drum was not simple, so he naturally would not forget it now.

But what surprised Zhou Xu was that Xuan Yu, the rebellious son, was actually sitting on the war drum at this moment, staring at the black war drum in a daze. For a moment, he actually looked a little deep...
