Throne of Vientiane Civilization

On this day, Zhou Xu held a celebratory banquet in the palace to celebrate Li Ce's triumphant return.

The entire Black Moon City was immersed in the festive atmosphere.

"Where is Li Ce?"

"I will be here!"

"General Li Ce, the Border Guard, has made great contributions in this expedition against the greenskins. He is awarded a set of mantras, a hundred-year-old undead bone, and another 100,000 silver coins!"

Zhou Xu did not promote Li Ce's military rank. After all, he was already a major general, and his room for advancement in rank was very limited.

Although Li Ce made great contributions in this expedition, they were only in a supporting position after all, and it was not enough for Li Ce to be directly promoted to lieutenant general.

In comparison, Li Ce had just been promoted to a transcendent wizard, and Zhou Xu's direct gift to him of the mantra and the hundred-year-old undead bones was undoubtedly the most practical and also the biggest improvement for him.

After hearing this, Li Ce also showed joy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

Zhou Xu smiled and signaled him to withdraw, and then took this opportunity to reward the meritorious officials of this expedition one by one.

In this environment, Lex, standing among the ministers, couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

He had chosen to continue to march with the army because he wanted to gain military merit so that the Centaurs could gain a foothold in the Great Zhou more quickly.

But at that time, the greenskins had basically been defeated, and there was only one decent battle afterwards.

In that battle, although he also fought bravely, he also cooperated with the strong men of Da Zhou and fought against two Vajra Realm strongmen of the greenskins.

But the embarrassing thing is that he didn't get a single head, and he didn't know if he would be able to receive the reward in front of the palace.

Just as Lex was thinking this, he suddenly heard his name being called.

"Lex."

"I will be here!"

Lex's heart tightened and he quickly walked out.

"Lex has made great contributions in this battle. He has just surrendered to our Great Zhou and has made great contributions. He is awarded the rank of captain, a set of lieutenant armor, and a reward of 10,000 silver!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

After hearing his reward, Lex's face was full of joy.

During this period of time, he followed Drogo and had some understanding of some of the reward mechanisms of the Great Zhou.

Knowing that he was not even a non-commissioned officer originally, he was directly promoted to captain, which was already an exceptional promotion of six levels.

In this way, he could be regarded as a full-fledged general in the Great Zhou army and had established a firm foothold.

The set of armor that was later rewarded undoubtedly made Lex happy.

Within the Great Zhou, armor was also divided into different specifications, from high to low, there were custom armor, general armor, colonel armor and lieutenant armor, while the non-commissioned officers and ordinary soldiers below them all wore soldier armor.

The higher the level, the higher the craftsmanship and strength, and the more time-consuming it is to make.

The lowest level of soldier armor is basically produced on an assembly line. After surrendering to the Great Zhou, all soldiers will have the most basic equipment.

But higher level armor can only be obtained through rewards, or to put it more bluntly, through military merit.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, those who did not have lieutenant officer armor were not necessarily not lieutenants, but those who had lieutenant officer armor were definitely lieutenants.

Therefore, even if they are of the same rank, the status of a lieutenant wearing armor is invisibly higher than that of a lieutenant without armor.

Zhou Xu also noticed that the armor on Lex was very old, so he simply gave him a set of lieutenant armor to replace it with a new one.

This reward undoubtedly touched Lex's heart.

After rewarding Lex, this matter basically came to an end. From then on, he would not need to reward everyone one by one personally.

During this process, Zhou Xu felt the gazes coming from the side, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yalvette who was sitting next to him, and then jokingly said...

"Why? Should I give you something as a reward?"

"OK."

“…”

The banquet was over. After fighting for three hundred rounds, Zhou Xu let out a long breath and leaned back on the bed.

"How many days will you stay this time?"

"No, I'll leave tomorrow morning when the train arrives."

Yalvette beside her shook her head. After exercising, she felt a little sleepy.

"I've been out for too long this time. I have to go back and check the situation."

Zhou Xu nodded to show his understanding and said nothing more.

During this time, his eyes glanced towards the windowsill.

[I don't know where that rebellious son flew to. 】

I don't know why Xuan Yu, that rebellious son, attacked me as soon as he came back. After I beat him up, he flapped his wings and ran away.

The Centaur cavalry, led by Drogo and including Lex, chose to run directly to the grassland relying on their own mobility.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Anyway, it only takes three hours to ride from Black Moon City to the grassland area.

Lex had been thinking about the tribesmen who had previously moved to Mustang City to settle down. This time, taking the opportunity of coming to Blackmoon City, Drogo also planned to take him back to see them.

As a result, they discovered the traces of their own people as soon as they arrived in Prairie City?

At this moment, a group of underage Centaurs were strolling in groups of three or five outside the grassland city.

"What do you think we're going to do later?"

One of the Centaur boys was holding a bag of melon seeds in his arms, eating them while asking his companion beside him.

"You're not going back so early, are you?"

"It's not even noon yet. It's too early to go back."

After taking a look at the position of the sun in the sky, another Centaur boy who was eating skewers nearby expressed his opinion.

"No, let's go run a few laps after we finish eating."

"That's great, let's run two laps first!"

As soon as this proposal was put forward, it immediately received responses from a group of Centaur boys.

At this moment, one of the Centaur boys suddenly said "Huh".

"Look, isn't that the leader?!"

While talking, Lex had already walked towards this side.

"Wow! It's really the leader! Why are you here?"

They apparently discovered Lex at the same time Lex discovered them.

I saw a group of underage Centaur boys running over happily.

"I should be the one asking you this. Didn't you say we were going to arrange this in Mustang City? Why are you here?"

Lex couldn't help but ask as he scanned the group of Centaur boys.

Hearing this, the Centaur boys blinked twice.

"We? We come to the market here to play."

As he spoke, the Centaur boy raised the 'trophy' in his hand.

Only then did Lex notice that these boys all had something in their hands and were eating with gusto.

Then, another Centaur boy added another sentence.

"After we finish eating, we plan to go for a run a couple of laps before going back."

As soon as he said this, the Centaur boy next to him slapped his companion on the back of the head.

"Idiot, what did you tell the chief about this?"

“…”
