Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1638 Humanoid Missile Launcher

When it comes to steady and cautious action, throughout the entire Great Zhou, there is definitely no commander more stable than Shi Lei.

The marching efficiency of the large army is not that high, but the new area of ​​the Saint Laurent Empire is too close to Copperforge.

The distance is actually not that close. After all, there are usually buffer zones reserved between countries. Being too close is not a good thing for either side.

Originally there were several countries in that area, and buffer zones had to be reserved between each country, which made the area of ​​the neutral zone in the entire region quite large.

But after the Saint Laurent Empire swallowed up those lands, those buffer zones no longer existed, and they even pushed their borders further outward.

This operation directly shortened the distance between the new area of ​​the Saint Laurent Empire and the border of Copperforge.

If we send out troops from Copperforge now, a normal large army will only need about a week to reach the new border of the Saint Laurent Empire.

The cavalry unit of the Great Zhou Dynasty this time is quite large. With the top combat force Zhou Xu, they can directly send the cavalry first, which is more efficient.

The opposing garrison didn't even have time to react before they had already reached the border fortress of the new district.

"Over there, look over there!"

On this day, a loud scream of terror was heard on the wall of the border fortress in the new district.

Hearing the sound, the Saint Laurent soldiers on duty nearby subconsciously looked in that direction.

After seeing this, the expressions of the soldiers on the scene instantly became dull!
In the distance, they saw a huge rock falling towards them.

As the distance got closer, everyone's faces quickly lost all color as they looked at the huge rock that was getting bigger and bigger in their sight.

"run!!!"

In front of the huge rock that fell from the sky, the high walls of their fortress seemed so small.

The Saint Laurent soldiers who realized this almost collapsed at this moment.

The high walls of the fortress that should have provided them with a complete sense of security now made them feel completely insecure.

It's too late to say, then soon!
With a loud roar, even the earth was shaking, and the huge rocks that fell from the sky instantly smashed the high walls of the fortress into a pile of ruins! At the same time, all the preparations of the fortress garrison to fight back were also disintegrated!
"Brothers, follow me and fight!!"

Outside the fortress, Vol'jin, wearing armor and holding a dwarven warhammer, let out an iron-blooded roar and led the charge!
The ruins formed by the collapse of the fortress's high walls could stop the charge of ordinary cavalry, but they could not stop the dwarven boar riders.

The boar riders, who had been ready for battle, were full of fighting spirit under the leadership of Woking. The boars under them took nimble and elastic steps, allowing them to easily climb over the ruins and rush directly into the fortress.

At the same time, Zhou Xu, who was controlling his soul body and flying in the sky, had just completed an attack to break the city and originally wanted to add another move.

Now it seems that it is no longer needed.

The "Flying Stone Attack" chanted in full is indeed not very effective against strong men of the same level, but it is very accurate when used to smash the fortress walls of this era.

Zhou Xu felt like a human missile launcher. The various city walls and fortresses at this stage could no longer provide any defense against him.

Of course, he had no intention of changing his career.

As the emperor of the Great Zhou, his main work was still focused on national development, and he didn't have so much free time to attack cities and capture strongholds outside every day.

After all, if he had to do all these things, why did he keep so many generals and soldiers?

If Saint Laurent I hadn't personally taken action this time, he wouldn't have come. The current battle situation was not bad. Although there were estimated to be thousands of garrisons in this border fortress in the new area of ​​the Saint Laurent Empire, they were directly stunned by his "flying stone attack".

In addition, the boar riders led by Woking rushed in and killed everyone in the area.

Although the battle has not ended yet, from the aerial perspective of Zhou Xu's soul body, the outcome has been decided.

The whole situation went much more smoothly than he expected.

Looking at the current situation, he felt that he could just go home next.

After all, he is really busy...

Once a war breaks out on the border, not to mention all the logistical problems, their Great Zhou will definitely gain a large piece of territory. Shouldn't he go back and prepare first?

In addition, so many dwarves were recruited this time.

Although the subsequent settlement work was assigned to Carl and others, many of the arrangements undoubtedly still required his confirmation and approval.

After the battle, Zhou Xu simply said something to Shi Lei and left on his Qiansui. The elven knights went with him as his personal soldiers, but the Royal Mage Corps was left with Shi Lei.

While giving Shi Lei an additional trump card, it also allows the mages to accumulate more practical experience. It is not good to just focus on training and have no practical experience.

In addition, before leaving, Zhou Xu filled Gargamel's mana with mana so that Gargamel could transform the undead units next.

This time, the high-end combat power of their Undead Army was completely wiped out, and they did not get any compensation from the Saint Laurent Army. It depends on whether they can gain anything next time.

It is worth mentioning here that the dwarves are not willing to be transformed into undead.

As early as the coalition period, Zhou Xu had discussed this kind of cooperation with Baron, but Baron refused.

Under this premise, facing the dwarves who had just surrendered, Zhou Xu also took the approach of letting things take their course.

The natural lifespan of dwarves is much longer than that of humans. As long as they can serve the Great Zhou well while they are alive, it will be enough. If they don’t want to transform into undead, then they don’t have to. Zhou Xu doesn’t really care.

When Zhou Xu returned to Yuancheng, all the staff from the Population Registration Bureau in the New North District and even the New South District had already gathered there.

Needless to say, the purpose is to register the identity information of the dwarves who surrendered this time.

After registering, one batch was sent away. Some dwarves must be a little dissatisfied about the fact that their tribesmen were going to be dispersed.

Of course, there is more of a fear of the unknown.

You know, most dwarves have never left Copperforge in their entire lives.

During this period, they first encountered major changes and became displaced, and now they are being arranged to work and live in different cities.

Many dwarves still have trust in the Great Zhou. After all, their two countries have been getting along well over the years.

But this was obviously not enough to completely dispel their inner uneasiness.

It was in this atmosphere where the dwarves were feeling nervous and uneasy about their future lives that a group of figures in gray robes slowly walked into the dwarf camp.

Don’t forget, this is Yuancheng, the headquarters of the national religion!
Zhou Xu was very low-key throughout the whole process and did not disturb their work. After a quick check of the situation, he boarded the steam train and prepared to return to Black Moon City.
