Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 856 Can I? !
The dwarf troops came and left quickly. Seeing their quickly leaving, Shi Lei breathed a sigh of relief.

They have finally solved the green-skinned problem now. If they turn around and face the dwarves again, it will be a nightmare.

While Shi Lei and Wo Jin were talking, the medical team in the city had already started rescuing the cavalry troops outside the city as quickly as possible.

Different from the infantry troops fighting in the city, the cavalry troops led by Jie Liancheng directly withstood the head-on attack by the Goblin Wolf Cavalry, resulting in heavy casualties. Among them, Jie Liancheng passed out directly, and Li Tie was also covered with wounds. .

After briefly giving instructions on what needed to be done, Shi Lei took a look at the two of them.

Li Tie was seriously injured, but his life was basically safe, so there was no need to worry.

Xie Liancheng, on the other hand, is still unconscious...

"Lieutenant Colonel Xie is awake, please notify me immediately."

After giving these instructions, Shi Lei turned around and left.

As the commander of an army, a war has just ended, and there are many things that require him to be busy!
The detailed casualty report was quickly sent to him.

In this battle, the casualties of the infantry units in the city were relatively good, but their cavalry units suffered heavy losses.

In this bloody battle between the three hundred Zhou cavalry and the Goblin Wolf Cavalry, one hundred and ninety-seven were killed, thirty-one were seriously injured, and the rest basically suffered minor injuries.

In addition, a total of 173 war horses were lost, and 21 horses were lost in running.

This is not a small number.

You must know that the war horses of their Zhou cavalry are not just used by any horse. Each war horse is carefully selected and carefully trained before it can be used as a war horse. This is The investment cost is very high.

Needless to say, the cost of training and training cavalry is also needless to say.

Adding up all the costs of the horses and cavalry, they lost an infantry unit of two thousand people in this wave!
Of course, optimistically, they at least defeated the greenskins and defended the New Taipei District, without having to hand over the newly occupied land.

With this mood, Shi Lei began to write a report to their Majesty.

At the same time, outside the lumberyard of Green Forest City, centaurs with shackled hands and feet were dragging carriages filled with lumber towards the wood processing factory, sweating profusely.

Needless to say, these are the centaur mercenaries who were captured by Jie Liancheng and the others.

They, the Great Zhou, never raise idlers, and neither do centaurs.

At first, they were held in a nearby recruit training camp, but as the season entered autumn, the pressure of the autumn harvest gradually increased in the New South District.

Zhou Xu had previously conscripted 5,000 troops, and the impact on the labor force in Xinnan District cannot be ignored.

In this way, they simply sent this group of centaur captives to Green Forest City temporarily to use them as cheap labor.

In Xinnan District, Green Forest City is not only a large city that produces timber, it is also the second largest grain-producing city.

When the centaur prisoners arrived, the job assigned to them was to pull carts, mainly responsible for transporting crops and wood.

Outside the farm, with heavy muffled sounds, farmers placed the bagged grain onto the carriage one after another.

"That's almost it, let's go!"

As another bag of grain was put down, the farmer patted the carriage and signaled to the centaur prisoner that he could set off.

"Is this the last batch for today?"

As he spoke, the centaur prisoner turned his head and glanced at the two bags of grain that were not loaded, and then glanced at the fully loaded carriage.

"Yes, this is the last batch today."

The centaur prisoner nodded after getting the answer, and then raised his hand. "Put those two bags of grain directly on my back to save you a trip later."

"Is that okay? This cart of grain is already very heavy."

The centaur prisoner couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this.

"Can I?! Find a fixed rope and fix it. I can carry another ten bags without any problem. Hurry up, I'm in a hurry to have dinner!"

When the farmer heard this, he was not angry. Instead, he laughed happily.

"That!"

As he spoke, he directly moved the two bags of food onto the centaur prisoner's back.

Feeling the weight of the pressure, the centaur prisoner tensed up.

To be honest, it’s very heavy!

But considering the old man watching from the side, the centaur prisoner suddenly exhaled from his nostrils and pretended to be relaxed, pulling a cart of food away.

When they arrived at the place, they unloaded the grain truck. The centaur prisoner stretched his muscles, but did not rest. He trotted all the way towards the canteen not far away, which had begun to smell the fragrance.

I also met other tribesmen on the road, and they all looked like him.

"What do you want for dinner tonight?"

"I want to eat braised pork."

"I want to eat ribs."

"The braised pork and pork ribs are also good, but I still want to be jealous of the fried chicken."

"..."

After all, it was a special race to be incorporated. Even though the centaur captives worked hard, Zhou Xu did not harsh them on the food.

So far, they are quite satisfied with the food in the canteen in Green Forest City.

A group of people came to the cafeteria talking to each other. If it weren't for the shackles on their hands and feet, who would have thought that they were actually a group of prisoners?
In the cafeteria, many people had arrived before them, including humans and other centaur prisoners.

Seeing them come in, they even greeted them very familiarly. Everyone was used to their presence, and no one thought there was anything strange about their appearance in the canteen.

To be honest, the centaurs themselves didn't understand why it became like this.

If you think about it carefully, when they were first captured, in order to survive, they were still shackled on their hands and feet. They had no choice but to do hard work here. Each of them was in a state that was close to bitterness and hatred. At least My heart is still unruly.

However, in the subsequent work, they inevitably came into contact with the people of Zhou Dynasty. It was in this process that their ideas began to change subtly.

You know, in their past contacts with humans, most of the humans they met looked at them with fear, disgust, and even hatred in their eyes.

They are mercenaries who earn money from war. Over time, they are almost tied to war. Whenever they appear, war is bound to occur.

This makes many humans directly regard them as disaster stars.

As soon as they appeared, the war broke out, as if they had brought it upon themselves.

The centaurs have always felt that they don't care about this. Anyway, they do make money from war. Disasters are disasters. It doesn't matter what humans think of them.

But until now, they have been working as coolies in Dazhou for a season. As they get along with the people of Dazhou, they slowly realize that they still care about...
