Throne of Vientiane Civilization

At this moment, watching the train slowly entering the station amidst the billowing smoke, the Centaurs nearby demonstrated with their actions what it meant to be "stunned".

My goodness, when have they ever seen anything like this?

Even though I had heard about it many times from the soldiers of the Great Zhou on the way here, I already had a general but vague idea of ​​this thing.

But as the whistle sounded, the Centaurs only felt a tingling sensation on their scalps. Looking at the train getting closer and closer, their hearts beat wildly as if they were completely out of control.

This may be a bit of an exaggeration, but looking at this steel behemoth emerging from the billowing smoke, the Centaurs suddenly felt that the previous Saint Laurent Empire was beginning to become insignificant.

"Everyone, please stand back. When the truck arrives, let them unload the goods first. After they finish unloading, we can get on the truck."

The operating cost of a steam locomotive is not low, which means it is impossible for it to run empty.

While they were shouting, the garrison troops from the northeastern fortress also arrived in horse-drawn carriages.

Needless to say, this train is loaded with supplies for the Northeast Fortress.

After the train enters the station and stops, the staff will carry out maintenance and unload goods.

Regarding the unloading, the Northeast Fortress directly dispatched garrison troops, and the action was quite fast.

The carriages parked outside were filled up one by one and left one by one, and the carriages were soon emptied.

By the time the Centaurs had counted all the heads, the train had also completed its maintenance, and had replenished a batch of fuel from the train station and set off directly.

"There will be some shaking when the train starts, so make sure you hold on to the handrails on the side."

Hearing the whistle reminding them to set off, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty hurriedly spoke out to give a reminder.

The Centaurs didn't think much and did as they were told.

After a shake, the train slowly left the station.

Even though they saw with their own eyes the steam train whistling into the station.

But when they actually got on this vehicle called a 'train', and it gradually accelerated and began to move at high speed, the shock that almost struck them directly into the deepest parts of their hearts still made them completely speechless.

This was a powerful impact of a completely epoch-making level! It was enough to completely shatter their entire worldview!

The journey that followed was simply incredible for them.

The speed of the steam train continued to increase, and the scenery on both sides soon became blurred, causing the centaurs on the train to exclaim in surprise.

Of course, this shock won’t last forever.

After about an hour, the Centaurs on the train calmed down a little.

Apart from the initial novelty, train travel is rather boring at other times.

After all, there isn't enough space on the bus for them to hang out and run around, so the main way to kill time now is to chat in groups.

During this process, the attention of some Centaurs was involuntarily attracted by the packages that the vendors had stuffed on them.

Before one of the Centaurs opened the package, he could already smell the aroma of the sesame cake coming through the oil paper.

He had eaten a full breakfast and didn't feel that hungry, but the aroma was so tempting that it immediately aroused the gluttony in his stomach.

After opening the wax paper and looking at the golden and crispy sesame cake inside, the Centaur suddenly felt even hungrier.

But this sesame cake was not bought by him, which made him feel conflicted. Finally, his eyes fell on the soldier from Da Zhou who was leading the team.

"Can I eat this?"

The Centaur who asked this question was still a minor in the tribe and was thin-skinned, so he felt a little embarrassed at the moment.

The Great Zhou soldier burst out laughing when he heard this.

"Eat it, eat it, the boss gave it to you, don't think too much."

"Then I ate it!"

The Centaur boy was already salivating with desire, and after hearing this, he stopped being pretentious and opened his mouth to take a bite.

Although the sesame cake was cold by now, the crust was still crispy. The taste was different from any cake they had eaten before.

After taking a bite, the Centaur boy opened his eyes wide unconsciously.

He looked as if he had discovered a new continent, which immediately amused the soldiers of the Great Zhou sitting next to him, who burst into laughter on the spot.

This was not a laugh, but a laugh full of kindness.

But it still made the Centaur boy's cheeks blush, but he never stopped talking for a moment, looking like an expert in eating.

Before setting off, the food that the market owners stuffed into their arms added a lot of fun to the rest of the journey.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. As they crossed the long canyon railway, the scene before them suddenly became clear and what came into their sight was a vast grassland!

However, at this moment, compared to the impact of the grassland in front of them, they were still surprised by the steam locomotive that was carrying them at high speed.

In just three days, the steam train took them across an astonishing distance and arrived at the grassland before them.

This kind of mobility efficiency is even faster than the high-speed march of cavalry units. Before this, it could be said that they could not even imagine it.

After passing through the grassland pass, according to the speed of the steam locomotive, the grassland station was not far away. Calculating the distance accurately, the train began to slow down and stopped steadily at the grassland station.

"Okay, everyone can get off the bus now!"

"Don't run around after you get off the bus. Just like before, gather outside and follow me when the time comes."

The voices of the Great Zhou soldiers rang out in every carriage.

Compared with their previous life of sleeping in the open and traveling long distances, this short three-day train journey was extremely easy for the Centaurs.

With the added bonus of delicious food on the way, everyone's mental state is not only good, but even energetic.

"That's Mustang City?"

"No, that's Prairie City. Mustang City is deeper in the prairie, but the road is not far. It's only seven in the morning now. Let's speed up. We estimate that we can arrive by noon."

There was no intention of taking the Centaurs to the Prairie City for a tour.

Prairie City and Mustang City are not far apart. The most important thing right now is to bring the Centaurs to Mustang City and settle them down completely.

As for Prairie City...

If they are interested, they can come here on their own on weekdays after they have settled down.

Why do you need to go for a special stroll at this critical juncture?
