Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1634 Attitudes of All Parties
The distance from Yuancheng to Pingyuan Fortress is not far, but the railway there was unsurprisingly destroyed by the previous Saint Laurent army, adding to the losses.

[I will put all the blame on your prisoners of war! ]

Zhou Xu was mentally prepared for this and remained relatively calm.

The situation inside the Plain Fortress was fine. The Saint Laurent army left a few hundred soldiers garrisoned there, but they had no resistance and soon successfully recaptured the Plain Fortress. The hundreds of garrisons were all captured as prisoners of war.

Compared to the destroyed railway, the interior of the Plain Fortress was not much damaged.

After all, Shi Lei had already emptied the fortress before evacuating.

When we arrived at the Plains Fortress, we were very close to Copperforge.

Zhou Xu could sense that they were eager to return home, but he had no intention of rushing to Tonglu Fort in such a hurry.

At this moment, the reinforcements they brought from Black Moon City have not all arrived at the front line.

This wave of support troops cannot be transported by just one steam train.

The first to arrive were the high-end combat forces headed by Zhou Xu, as well as special forces like the Royal Mage Corps and the Trap Camp.

Under this premise, after the Saint Laurent Empire launched an offensive against them, considering the long-term combat, normally speaking, the opponent would most likely regard Copperforge Fort as a stronghold and gather troops from the rear there. While occupying this important military location, it would also be convenient for subsequent reinforcements and support to the front line.

Copperlube Fort itself has geographical advantages. At this stage, their troops have not yet been assembled, and launching an offensive hastily may not be a good thing.

At this point, Shi Lei had already sent out the Giant Eagle Knight to fly over Copperforge Castle to confirm the situation.

During this period of time, they just rested and waited for the arrival of subsequent reinforcements.

At the same time, the female warrior tribe and the Smith Kingdom also received news from the Great Zhou.

"Ward's Law..."

When Fisher, who was handling government affairs in the King's Castle at the time, saw the news, he was stunned.

The Saint Laurent Empire suddenly sent troops to attack Copperforge Fort?
To be honest, at this point, even he couldn't help but wonder if Saint Laurent I's head was caught by the door panel.

This is indeed a bit magical.

Now the emperor of the Great Zhou called on them to abide by the United Nations treaty, form an alliance, and jointly attack the Saint Laurent Empire.

Fisher was really a little unsure at the moment and didn't know whether to send troops.

The Great Zhou and the Saint Laurent Empire are at war?

That was indeed a fight between gods. Even if the Smith Kingdom just followed behind the Great Zhou and got a few bites of the pie, they could still make a lot of money. By the way, their musket and artillery units could also accumulate some practical experience.

But have you ever thought that if you don’t get to drink the soup, it will affect innocent people?

When the United Nations was first established, there was indeed a clause that if a member state seriously violated the covenant and committed unforgivable crimes, the remaining members could form a coalition to jointly attack it.

However, the treaty does not stipulate that troops must be sent.

In other words, if you really don't want to go, just find any excuse to avoid it.

If we do this, it may cause dissatisfaction on the part of the Great Zhou, and at the same time, we will not gain any benefit at all.

Needless to say, Fisher is still very envious of the territorial resources of the Saint Laurent Empire. He is now hesitant mainly because he is afraid of taking risks.

As his thoughts raced, Fisher came up with an idea. He immediately issued an order to mobilize a large force to gather at the border fortress, but to keep them in place until there was movement from the Northeastern Fortress of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the female warrior tribe, and then they would take action.

Fisher’s idea was very simple, which was to form an alliance with the Northeastern Army of the Great Zhou and the troops of the female warrior tribe and set off.

In this way, although the resources and credit will be divided up and what he gets will certainly be less, at least it is safe and guaranteed, allowing him to get the benefits steadily!

Compared to Fisher who was constantly calculating here, Yalvette, who had confirmed the news, was much simpler on the side of the female warrior tribe.

"send troops!"

The way the female warriors get along with the Great Zhou is based on the principle of true love in return for true love.

The Great Zhou is good at construction and development, and their female warrior tribe is simply good at fighting. They help the Great Zhou fight, and the Great Zhou helps them develop. There is nothing wrong with mutual benefit.

Not to mention that Zhou Xu and Yalvet had a son and a daughter together, which was more than just an ordinary friendship.

In comparison, Li Ce, who was in charge of the northeastern fortress and led by their own troops of the Great Zhou, was not very motivated at the moment.

Because their Majesty has made it clear in the order that the main force of their Great Zhou will be stationed at the Plain Fortress in the next campaign against the Saint Laurent Empire.

From the perspective of territorial expansion, it is obviously better to expand from the plain fortress.

On the other hand, on the northeast fortress side, there are also the female warrior tribe and the Smith Kingdom, and there are multiple forces on the periphery.

In this case, it seems to be a hassle to cross these two forces and occupy a few cities on the border of the Saint Laurent Empire.

As for the more extreme one, they would just swallow up the Warrior Women and the Smith Kingdom together...

This kind of thing has nothing to do with morality or immorality.

Take the female warrior tribe for example. This special race often has a very strong sense of ethnic group consciousness, and groups with strong ethnic consciousness often have an xenophobic mentality.

If you want to win, you need a suitable opportunity and a suitable reason.

If you force annexation, the other party will only regard you as an enemy and fight you to the death. Even if you win in the end, it will leave hidden dangers within the country.

In addition, the people inside will gradually become dissatisfied because you frequently provoke wars and waste people's money and time.

After all, every battle involves fighting with their own lives or the lives of their family and friends.

If you make enemies outside and the people inside are also dissatisfied with you, then you will be in big trouble.

This is also the fundamental reason why a simple warmongerer can easily perish in civil strife.

Therefore, the style of doing things in Da Zhou has always been to have a legitimate reason and to occupy a righteous position.

Putting aside these issues, as of now, based on the current size of their Great Zhou, just swallowing up the Saint Laurent Empire would be enough to cause them indigestion. If they were to target other forces, aren't they really afraid of being starved to death?
In this kind of matter, Zhou Xu's mind is still very calm. He won't do anything stupid without thinking.

During this period, Li Ce, who was clear about his mission, simply selected a troop and set off after successfully joining up with the female warrior tribe's troops.

When they passed by the Smith Kingdom, Fisher, who had learned about the situation, showed great enthusiasm and it was obvious that he wanted to get a piece of the pie.

Li Ce saw through the situation but did not say anything. He just followed their Majesty's plan and everything would be done.
