Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1857 Let's get down to business
This oasis outpost is closest to the Saint Laurent border, so the undead officer's destination this time was naturally the Saint Laurent border.

Looking at the vast, lush forest before them, with its towering trees, the jackals unconsciously widened their eyes.

From the perspective of the gnolls, it was hard for them to imagine that there could be such a large green area in the desert.

Or to put it more bluntly, the gnolls' previous environment did not have forests like this, nor such tall, towering trees.

The current impact is like a desert animal entering a great forest to the jackals; they feel their entire worldview is being violently eroded.

In the short time that the jackals were stunned, the undead officer had already finished explaining things to the garrison.

"Please wait here for a while. Someone will come and make arrangements for you."

Upon hearing this, Bloodfang and the others were clearly taken aback.

Are you leaving?

"Yes, I also have my own tasks."

Although the two or three months they spent together were not exactly pleasant, from another perspective, the undead officer was indeed their only acquaintance in the Great Zhou.

Now that they heard the undead officer was leaving, Bloodfang and the others were genuinely reluctant to let him go.

Of course, this feeling is more about being nervous and uneasy about the 'unknown' ahead.

In contrast, the undead officer acted decisively, leaving without looking back.

Seeing the undead officer leave, Bloodfang and the others had no choice but to stand there and wait.

They weren't kept waiting too long, since there was a small military camp nearby.

In addition to a resident troop, this small military camp is usually staffed by at least one Vajra Realm general.

This week it just so happens to be Xie Liancheng's turn.

Jie Liancheng has been bored these past few years. In the military operations of previous years, he was also assigned by Shi Lei to be stationed at the Saint Laurent border.

He wasn't a warmonger, but he was also restless with too much free time.

Upon hearing that a group of gnolls had been sent back, Xie Liancheng suddenly felt more energetic.

They didn't go into full armor; they just went out in their training uniforms.

Looking at the jackals standing outside the military camp, Jie Liancheng's first reaction was that they were a little different from what he had imagined.

However, he didn't think much of it, cleared his throat, and began to speak...

“I am a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and my name is Xie Liancheng! I don’t need you to understand some complicated things immediately, but I want to remember one thing for you: since you have joined our Great Zhou Dynasty, you must abide by our rules.”

"As long as you abide by the rules of our Great Zhou, we are one family. Our Great Zhou will never discriminate against you because you are beastmen."

"But if you do anything illegal or disorderly in our Great Zhou, we will absolutely not let you off easily!"

Although Xie Liancheng's words made sense, they clearly failed to win the favor of the Jackals, and some even felt a bit annoyed.

Jie Liancheng didn't care, since it was necessary to make the unpleasant points clear beforehand.

"Some of you may be dissatisfied, that's okay, I can give you a chance now!"

As he spoke, Jie Liancheng opened his arms and waved at them in a provocative and somewhat unrestrained manner.

"Who wants to challenge me?"

Faced with this question, none of the jackals, who were naturally cautious, made any rash moves.

To this, Jie Liancheng simply smiled slightly. "How about this, as long as you can hurt me, you win. Challenging me now doesn't violate the laws of my Great Zhou."

Upon hearing this, one of the gnolls immediately stepped forward.

"I'll fight you!"

Seeing the gnoll step forward, the remaining gnolls spontaneously began to cheer him on...

"Throwing grappling hook, let him know how powerful we are!"

"Teach him a lesson! Throwing grappling hook!!"

Hearing the cheers of his people, the jackal known as Flying Claw grinned and showed a vicious smile. Then, he suddenly charged forward, rushing towards Jie Liancheng with tremendous speed.

Seeing this, the jackals' shouts of encouragement grew even louder!

The next instant, there was a muffled 'bang', and the grappling hook flew backward like a kite with a broken string, finally crashing into them.

In an instant, the scene fell silent!

All of this happened so fast that the jackals present were almost caught off guard, and their eyes as they looked at Xie Liancheng were now filled with undisguised terror.

Among the jackals who submitted to the Great Zhou, Flying Claw, with his Hundred Refinement Realm cultivation, was undoubtedly the strongest.

However, the grappling hook was powerless against its opponent, and was defeated with just one punch!
This was utterly outrageous to the jackals.

But in Xie Liancheng's view, it was only natural.

"Who else wants to challenge me?"

As Jie Liancheng asked the question, his gaze quickly swept across the faces of every jackal around him.

Seeing that the gnolls had all stopped moving, he simply increased the difficulty for himself.

"Or you can all come at me together!"

Unlike the jackals who were too weak to even fully grasp the difference in strength between themselves and the others, Jie Liancheng could clearly sense the strength of the jackals.

It's no exaggeration to say that, given his current peak Vajra Realm strength, if he were to unleash his protective true energy, these jackal-men wouldn't even be able to break through his defenses, let alone injure him.

The jackals were not entirely stupid; from that exchange just now, they had already deeply realized the difference in strength between the two sides.

The principle of "survival of the fittest" still works very well among orcs.

Once Jie Liancheng revealed his strength, the jackals mostly became obedient, and their previous displeasure vanished.

After all, in the eyes of the gnolls, this human in front of them certainly had the right to be arrogant.

Xie Liancheng was undoubtedly very satisfied with this result.

This also made things go exceptionally smoothly afterward.

"If everything is fine, then come with me. I'll help you settle in first."

These gnolls are temporarily housed in their outer military camp. They are a race that can adapt to the desert environment, which is quite good.

They can be directly assigned to work in this area, whether as laborers or to form special forces, it will be very convenient, and there is no possibility of them not adapting to the environment.

Of course, before that, according to their usual practice, they must first check their attribute panel.
