Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1632 Carl's Thoughts

At the same time, on Zhou Xu's side, after briefly confirming the harvest of two pieces of epic equipment, Zhou Xu went to the military camp to comfort the injured soldiers.

At this moment, Woking rushed over from a distance with great momentum, followed by a nervous-looking Carl.

Without any surprise, Woking was stopped by his personal soldiers who were on guard duty outside the city.

Knowing that he couldn't break through the guards' blockade, Woking simply shouted at Zhou Xu...

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty Emperor Zhou!!"

Zhou Xu didn't react to the shout, but Karl, who was chasing after him, turned pale with fear. He quickly grabbed him and whispered...

"Don't be impulsive, Woking!"

As Carl spoke, he pulled Woking hard, as if he wanted to drag Woking away.

However, although Woking had been living a very lazy life in recent years, he was after all a military commander with the foundation of the Hundred Refining Realm. How could Carl, a civil official, hold him back?

At this moment, Carl felt that Woking was like an iron tower, motionless, and at the same time, he kept shouting "Your Majesty the Emperor Zhou".

The next second, the obvious glance coming over made Karl sweat like rain.

From Carl's perspective, just looking at the national strength of the two countries, even before the Saint Laurent Empire launched a strong attack on their Copperforge Fort, the national strength of the Great Zhou had far surpassed their Copperforge Fort.

Therefore, when dealing with the Great Zhou, they had to be careful in every move, and they had to be in awe of the Emperor Zhou.

Not to mention that now their entire dwarf tribe is on the territory of the Great Zhou. Thanks to the protection of the Great Zhou, they were able to survive the invasion of Saint Roland's army.

To put it bluntly, your life is in their hands.

They should be more cautious when facing the Emperor of the Great Zhou.

In Carl's opinion, Woking's actions at this time were no different from seeking death.

Just then, Zhou Xu's voice came.

"Let them come over."

After receiving the order, the guards quickly made way. Without saying a word, Woking ran to Zhou Xu and knelt down with a plop.

"The Saint Laurent Empire violated the United Nations treaty and attacked my Tonglu Fort, killing my eldest brother Baron Tonglu, my uncle Balai Tonglu, and countless of my clansmen! Please, His Majesty the Emperor Zhou, make the decision for us!!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Prince Woking just learned the news and is extremely sad. I did not mean to offend you!"

Compared to Woking, although Carl was equally sad, he still remained somewhat calm and did not forget to help Woking to exonerate himself.

At this moment, Woking's eyes were filled with tears, and Carl next to him also had red eyes, obviously he had just cried.

Seeing this, Zhou Xu helped the two men up personally.

"You two don't have to do this. Tonglu Fort has always been a loyal ally of our Great Zhou. Our Great Zhou will never sit idly by and watch the Saint Laurent Empire do such a thing!"

"Although Saint Laurent I is dead, the Saint Laurent Empire's atrocities of tearing up the United Nations treaty and invading its allies are indisputable."

"Next, our Great Zhou will abide by the United Nations treaty and call on other member states in the United Nations to send troops together to attack the Saint Laurent Empire!"

If possible, Zhou Xu had no intention of defeating the Saint Laurent Empire alone.

Although after the death of Saint Laurent I, the balance between the two sides at the high-end combat power level has been completely broken, the Saint Laurent Empire will not be their opponent.

But it cannot change the fact that the Saint Laurent Empire has a large population and land.

If the enemy relies on its military strength to resist, this battle will not be over in a short period of time.

As the war progressed to this point, what Zhou Xu wanted was to gain the greatest benefit at the lowest cost.

A prolonged war would only result in a waste of money and manpower, which was not what Zhou Xu wanted to see.

Under this premise, whether it is the Smith Kingdom or the Warrior Women, if they are willing to send troops from the other side and launch an offensive towards the other side of the border of the Saint Laurent Empire, regardless of whether the other side can capture it, at least it can help them relieve pressure on the military level and share the garrison forces of the other side, thereby achieving the goal of reducing their own losses.

As for whether the Smith Kingdom would break through the border of the Saint Laurent Empire and occupy certain cities and territories during this period...

Zhou Xu actually didn’t care.

He can't even develop his own internal territory now.

This wave of attacks was purely Saint Laurent I's own fault. He was forced to strike back hard. Otherwise, according to the original plan, he would have no interest in fighting in the next thirty years.

At the moment, he didn't care about losing a piece or two of the city's territory, he just considered it as reducing the pressure of development.

After briefly expressing his attitude to Woking and Carl, Zhou Xu did not say anything like "My condolences" or anything like that, he just patted Woking and Carl on the shoulders.

He signaled to the two of them to have a good rest and get ready, as they would set out for the Plain Fortress early tomorrow morning.

After leaving the military camp, Vol'jin followed Carl directly back to their dwarf camp outside the city.

After entering his resting tent, Carl, who was relieved, immediately said unhappily...

"You're just going to rush over like that? Do you want to scare me to death?!"

Even now, Carl still feels a chill when he thinks about it.

In response to this, Woking, who had calmed down, just said solemnly...

"According to His Majesty Emperor Zhou's mind, he would not care about such a small matter."

Woking seems to be brainless and has no sense of propriety when he gets anxious, but he is actually meticulous. If you think about it carefully, although he acts recklessly, he has never caused any big disaster.

Because he knew very well that as long as it didn't touch the bottom line, Zhou Xu would not hold on to those trivial matters.

Anyway, this matter has passed. After listening to Woking's explanation, Carl didn't say anything more.

There was silence in the tent for two seconds. Woking didn't say anything, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Just then, Carl's voice rang out.

"Wojin, have you thought about what to do next?"

When Woking heard this question, he was stunned and a trace of confusion appeared on his face.

But he was not a fool, and he quickly reacted to Carl's question.

In this wave, it can even be said that their Copperforge was on the verge of destruction.

Even now, Copperforge has not fallen back into their hands.

Now his eldest brother Baron is also dead, and as for his eldest brother's son, that is, his nephew, he is not yet an adult.

Under the current circumstances, it is clear that both his nephew and he are qualified to inherit the throne and become the new king of Copperforge.

Karl asked him this question at this moment, and even wanted to discuss this matter with him, which definitely meant that he was biased towards him.

But Woking saw something else in Carl's eyes.

"Karl, you can tell me what you think. We grew up together. To be honest, my relationship with you should be closer than that with my eldest brother, right?"

Carl nodded and admitted it. He and Woking were childhood friends and cousins, so naturally they had a special relationship.

"I have been thinking about this for a long time since I led my people to escape from Copperforge."

Carl adjusted his mood and spoke slowly. He was shaken for a moment, but then his expression quickly became firm.

"I think that under the current situation, Tongluebao can no longer be maintained. For us, the best choice now should be to surrender to the Great Zhou!"
