Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1237 Gathering for the Battle
With only 3,000 troops to be mobilized, they are readily available at the Northeast Fortress and can be assembled and deployed at any time. The focus now is on Jie Liancheng and the Xianzhen Camp headed by Zhou Chongshan gathering at the Plain Fortress.

They were not needed in the previous battle to support the Smith Kingdom, but they are indispensable for this expedition.

As early as when the news was confirmed, Zhou Xu had already asked the Giant Eagle Knight to fly to the Plain Fortress as quickly as possible with his order to call them back.

But even so, it would take almost ten days for the Giant Eagle Knights to reach the Plains Fortress to deliver the message, and it would take even longer to wait for them to arrive.

It would have been fine if you didn't know about the support before, but now that you know and have decided to send troops, if you continue to hesitate, it will easily increase the variables.

Zhou Xu was worried that something might happen if he was late, so he decided to follow the main force and then join up with the female warrior tribe's troops and go ahead.

With this thought in mind, Zhou Xu quickly dealt with the government affairs at hand, then called Huo Qubing and Li Bowen over, gave them some instructions, and then set off.

Of course, when passing by the grassland, I did not forget to bring Qiansui with me.

At a time when Zhou Chongshan and Jie Liancheng are not around, and the Lizardman troops led by Bo Levin cannot be mobilized, Qiansui from the King Kong Realm is his most important personal bodyguard.

When Zhou Xu arrived at the Northeast Fortress, Li Ce was still busy with the troop mobilization. After all, after they set out with 3,000 troops, the Northeast Fortress also needed enough troops to garrison, so he asked Silk to come and greet him.

"I will see your Majesty at last!"

Initially, Silk was left at the northeastern border because in the previous battle, Jie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan were both seriously injured, and Silk was the only general who was still capable of fighting, so he left Silk here to guard the place just in case.

Later, as Zhou Xu's own strength continued to improve, and considering Silk's future development, he thought about it and decided to let Silk join the army and let him follow Li Ce to accumulate experience in leading troops.

Now that he had seen him, Zhou Xu certainly did not forget to take a look at Silk's attribute panel.

During this period of time, although Silk is still in the Hundred Refinements Realm, his specific strength has been improved from Bronze Three Stars to Bronze Four Stars.

During this period, as the strongest Centaur, Joseph was promoted from Bronze One Star to Bronze Three Stars, an even greater improvement.

In addition, Diak also successfully broke through and became the third Centaur to reach the Hundred Refinements Realm after Joseph and Drogo. His current strength is at the Bronze One Star.

Recently, the overall strength of their Great Zhou has been growing steadily.

It used to be difficult to pick out a warrior at the Hundred Refining Realm, but now there are three warriors at the Vajra Realm. Other forces would be stunned if they knew about this. The efficiency of the Great Zhou is simply too high.

Normally speaking, even if one has sufficient talent, it is unrealistic to produce a Vajra Realm warrior without decades of hard work.

Take Marshal Adolf of the Saint Laurent Empire for example. He is more than 200 years old and his strength is only at the peak of the Vajra Realm.

In fact, this is a more normal situation.

Many people may not be able to break through from the peak of the Hundred Refining Realm to the Vajra Realm in their lifetime. After reaching the Vajra Realm, the improvement efficiency will become slower, and it is not uncommon to practice hard for ten or twenty years to improve one star level.

The reason why the generals of the Great Zhou were able to display such outrageous efficiency was entirely due to Zhou Xu's talent as an 'evolved leader'.

Other human forces practice based on the human life level, but the generals of the Great Zhou, with the blessing of Zhou Xu's "Evolutionary Leader" talent, although they still appear to be human, have essentially surpassed the scope of humans.

However, this blessing itself will also be affected by one's own qualifications. Simply put, those with good qualifications will receive higher blessings, and those with poor qualifications will receive lower blessings.

At present, the lowest level can even be ignored.

Those who can become military generals have stood out from countless people. Their qualifications are naturally far superior to ordinary people, and the blessings they receive are naturally higher.

This kind of blessing is like a snowball. You may not see anything at the first or second, but as time goes by, the gap will become bigger and bigger.

Before officially setting off, Zhou Xu first summoned all the generals including Li Ce and held a small internal meeting, briefly explaining the matter and his entire next idea.

As allies, they now have a close relationship with the female warrior tribe and have established enough trust, but allies are not their own people after all, so there are some things that are not convenient to tell them.

After Zhou Xu had given all the instructions, the large army officially set out for the border of the female warrior tribe to join up with the enemy's large army.

Just like the previous support for the Smith Kingdom, the total number of troops was said to be three thousand, but in fact the number was more than three thousand, after all, Zhou Xu also brought his own personal guard.

In addition, if the 500-man Xianzhen Camp led by Zhou Chongshan are also counted, the total force will basically reach 4,000.

After all, he can't just arbitrarily deduct the number of three thousand, right?
The Xianzhen Camp was still behind him. He couldn't just go out with more than 2,000 troops just to gather 3,000. That would be a bit insufficient.

After joining the warrior women's army, Alvet learned about the situation and said nothing...

"Go, send me another thousand troops."

Almost all the female warriors were soldiers, and a thousand soldiers were quickly transferred from a nearby camp.

Now that's good, the total strength of both sides is close to eight thousand, which is really enough.

Looking at the well-organized queue, Zhou Xu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Oh, have you rectified military discipline?"

Yalvette rolled her eyes at him, but finally said "hmm".

Military discipline can be seen just from the formation. When the female warriors lined up before, the soldiers were relatively casual, but it was obviously different now.

And Yalvette obviously didn't want to talk more about this topic. After all, they were still not as good as Da Zhou in this area. The more she talked about it, the more upset she became, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, by the way, the Smith Kingdom has now changed its name to the Smith Republic, and they sent someone here this morning, bringing a thank-you gift."

Hearing this, Zhou Xu smiled.

"Now you think of giving me a thank-you gift?"

Fisher had said before that he would send a thank-you gift, and Zhou Xu was not worried that he would default on his debt, but he was indeed slow to do so. Until this time, when the Saint Laurent Empire began to ask for help and the Smith Republic wanted to join forces with them, he quickly sent the thank-you gift, which was really a bit contemptible.
