Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Seeing that the situation was not good, the large force of the rat men retreated simply, and Thoros did not pursue it too hard, fearing that the rat men on the opposite side would be forced to fight back desperately, which would not be good for them.

The most important thing is that if they chase far away, without a border fortress to rely on behind them, their advantage will be gone.

Therefore, Soros also retreated as soon as he saw the opportunity. After seeing the opportunity and harvesting a wave of troops on the opposite side, he retreated with gold.

Even if they want to send troops next, they will have to get ready before going.

It was already a week later when the trapped camp headed by Zhou Chongshan arrived.

No way, the time of setting off from the trapped camp coincided with the time of discovering the waterway.

By the time the waterway route was determined, the trapped camp had already begun to cross the mountains. Zhou Xu sent people to chase but could not catch up, so they failed to take this shortcut.

Fortunately, this matter is not urgent. At this time, the new recruits he recruited before are still in training.

On the other side of the southern border, the official action will definitely take place after his new recruits have completed their training and arrived in the southern border.

To put it bluntly, to send the trapped camp there in advance is to add a layer of insurance to prevent it from accidentally overturning.

Even speaking of it, once the new recruits here are trained, he may not necessarily send them to the southern border immediately.

Don't forget, there is an uncontacted force in the south of their new continent.

In the previous winter, due to the influence of the season, the opponent would most likely not take action, but now that spring has begun, if the opponent wants to mobilize troops, then corresponding actions should be taken, so this side has to be a little defensive.

At that time, if this side launches troops in the spring, he will first destroy the forces here, and then go to exterminate the rat people.

After all, judging from the scale, this should be much easier to deal with than the Rat Man.

As for the rat men, the lizard men are good at fighting protracted battles with them, no less than a short while.

I don't know if I sensed Zhou Xu's thoughts, but not long after spring started, news came from the border of Anling City, saying that the reconnaissance team from the opposite side began to appear frequently in the area close to their border.

After receiving the news, Zhou Xu looked calm and signaled Shi Lei to be more vigilant and pay attention to every move on the other side.

Zhou Xu still felt a little complicated about this strange force.

If a war breaks out, he will have to face a two-front battle situation. If this situation can be avoided, he will definitely try to avoid it.

After all, no one can guarantee whether the car will accidentally overturn during such a frivolous operation.

But if the other party never takes action, being his neighbor will always be a problem.

After all, when an unknown force is discovered, what does it mean if you send scouts to frequently appear on the other side's border?

Normally, if you have no idea, you can either keep a distance from the other party and not contact the other party, as Zhou Xu did before, or you can directly reveal your identity and try to communicate with the other party and visit each other.

But the other party didn't choose. Instead, they sent scouts to continuously conduct reconnaissance on the border. Anyone with a discerning eye could see what their intentions were.

It is not difficult to see from this move that the guy on the opposite side is full of intentions to annex their great Zhou Dynasty.

In response to this situation, Zhou Xu had some thoughts in his mind, and immediately wrote down an order, ordering people to deliver it to Anling City guard Shi Lei as quickly as possible.

After Shi Lei received the order, he opened it and had an idea.

"Pass my order and send out a small team to deal with the reconnaissance team on the opposite side. If there is a conflict, we will show the enemy's weakness."

The order has been issued. Although the soldiers who received the order did not know why they did so, according to the way they trained soldiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty, obeying orders is the bounden duty of soldiers. They do not need to question it, they only need to execute it.

According to the frequency of action of the reconnaissance team on the opposite side, the two teams met quickly, and then a conflict occurred without any surprise.

According to Shi Lei's arrangement, the soldiers on their side also followed the order, showed their weakness to the enemy, and took the initiative to retreat.

If the other party is aggressive, they will immediately call in the border patrol troops to force them back, but they will not chase them too far. Basically, they will stop the pursuit as soon as they cross the border, looking like cowards.

For a while, the reconnaissance team on the opposite side was really running amok near their border with Dazhou. At the same time, a report on the situation here was also written up and sent back as quickly as possible.

In the palace in the capital of Liang Kingdom, the current Emperor Liang looked at the latest military report sent back from the border, and his face suddenly lit up with joy.

"Hahahahaha, Commander Kabak really did not lie to me. China has been fighting for years, and now its national power is empty. It is just a paper tiger that is strong on the outside but weak on the inside."

"I will now inherit the legacy of our ancestors of the Liang Kingdom and take over the Central Plains at this time!"

As he spoke, Emperor Liang quickly issued an order.

"Quickly, summon Captain Kabak to come see me."

The order was given, and a tall and burly figure quickly entered the palace.

"Kabak, I have met Emperor Liang."

After entering the palace, Kabak faced Emperor Liang and bowed slightly, which was regarded as a salute.

From every move, it was really hard to see how much respect he had for Emperor Liang.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Liang's eyes quickly flashed with displeasure, but he quickly restrained himself.

After all, this Kabak is indeed not his subordinate, but a Centaur mercenary whom he paid for.

They were restricted by conditions and could not produce any good war horses, so cavalry was also very scarce.

Under this premise, even centaur mercenaries, who are extremely powerful as cavalry, can easily become a key factor affecting the outcome of a war.

In the previous wars, they were inseparable from their neighboring countries. It was these centaur mercenaries who played a key role in helping Liang's army defeat the enemy and complete their unification.

The war on their side actually ended before winter, when the Centaur mercenaries headed by Kabak wanted to settle their accounts and leave.

In response to this, Liang Huang quickly paid off the commission and also started to recruit.

Imagine, on this land, if he could hold the power of the centaur in his hands, who else could be his opponent?

But the result obviously didn't go well.

In Kabak's view, although the centaur mercenaries were hired by others and made money by helping their employers fight, they had no intention of joining anyone's command or being slaves to anyone.

Seeing those ministers kneeling down and flattering Liang Huangsan, Kabak felt quite disdainful, so he refused directly and wanted to take the money and leave.

But Emperor Liang obviously hasn't given up yet, and he is very good at finding time.

After settling the accounts at that time, the season was about to enter winter. Although they were free as mercenaries, they had no one to rely on. In this season, they had nowhere to go, and no other businesses were found nearby. It will also be more difficult.

Emperor Liang recognized this and directly invited them to spend the winter in Liang.

Kabak weighed it in his mind and stayed, until now...
