Chapter 1363: Reunion (Part 2)
The Centaur mercenaries led by Lex successfully joined the coalition forces two days ago.
As Zhou Xu had learned before, the Centaur troops were forced to flee after being attacked by the enemy's Diamond Realm Greenskins.
The Centaur mercenaries led by Lex were lucky and were not targeted by the Goblin Wolf Cavalry on the opposite side.
But his tribesmen were scattered in the process, and it took Lex a lot of time to gather the troops again.
When Lex led his Centaur mercenaries to join the coalition forces, he learned that the Greenskins had fought desperately and took the initiative to attack the coalition forces, but were killed by the two top masters, Emperor Zhou and Saint Laurent I.
This also made the battle decide the outcome in advance. What followed was not so much a war with the Greenskins as a cleanup of the Greenskins camp.
During this process, Lex undoubtedly also learned that the Centaur Cavalry of the Great Zhou was targeted by the Goblin Wolf Cavalry and Diak was killed in the battle.
This news was a bit sudden for him, and it also made him feel a little heavy.
During the short time he spent with the Centaur tribe of the Great Zhou, although he admired Joseph, who was young and energetic and had outstanding fighting talents, he could talk to anyone, and it had to be Diak, who had also been a leader.
Now that Diak was killed in the battle, as a fellow tribesman, Lex was obviously not feeling well.
Not to mention that the Centaur troops of the Great Zhou were not supposed to participate in this operation.
As a vanguard, it was originally the task of their Centaur mercenaries, and they were the ones who had to bear all the risks.
The Great Zhou took the initiative to ask their Centaur troops to carry out the operation with them. No matter what Li Ce's purpose was at the time, the result was that the existence of the Centaur Cavalry of the Great Zhou helped them share the risks and pressure, and they accepted a favor from the other party.
At this moment, the coalition forces had just completed the reunion with the dwarf troops of Copperforge, and Lex also hurried to the camp of Da Zhou to express his condolences and confirm the situation of Joseph and others.
The result...
"Diak?"
Looking at the Diak in front of him, who was in a sense "fiery", Lex was stunned.
He never thought that Diak, who had died in the battle, would appear in front of him in this posture.
He always felt that something was wrong, but the impact was too strong at once, and his mind, which was originally immersed in the atmosphere of sadness, was a little confused.
This state lasted for more than ten seconds, and he said that sentence with an unbelievable face...
"Wait! Why can the skeleton soldiers talk? Are you Diak? You turned into a skeleton soldier, and then... Are you talking to me?!"
When he said the latter, Lex's expression became surprised. Obviously, he has not been able to digest what happened in front of him smoothly until now.
The main reason is that he has never encountered such a situation before. Everything that happened in front of him is completely beyond his common sense.
Seeing Lex, who was obviously a little confused, Diak expressed his understanding, and then briefly told him about his death in battle, and then being transformed into an undead by their majesty with the mantra and resurrected.
After listening to this, Lex's expression was uncertain.
"You mean, your soldiers of the Great Zhou will be transformed into skeleton soldiers after they die in battle?"
At this moment, looking at Lex's reaction, Diak quickly realized what the other party was thinking.
"Don't get me wrong, I volunteered. By the way, to be precise, I am now an undead, and I have something in common with those skeleton soldiers you know, but I am higher than them."
"..."
Looking at Lex, who was speechless for a while, Diak continued to talk to himself.
"Before joining the army, our soldiers of the Great Zhou will confirm one by one whether they are willing to donate their bones after death and continue to fight for the Great Zhou as skeleton soldiers. Those who are willing will be transformed into skeleton soldiers, and those who are unwilling will have their bodies sent back to the rear for burial."
Hearing this, Lex's face eased a little.
During this time, Diak continued to say...
"And you see me now, except for the lack of flesh and blood, I am still me, there is no difference in essence."
For this point, Lex really couldn't refute it.
Judging from the current conversation, the one in front of him is indeed Diak.
In general, he was a little convinced.
In these words, Diak actually lied a little, that is, the transformation agreement, which he refused at the beginning.
But what he refused was to be transformed into a low-level skeleton soldier, not the undead who could retain consciousness.
In fact, he doesn't mind becoming an undead if he can ensure that his consciousness is clear.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, take a look!
After all, he is still very young, and there are too many things that he is worried about, and he is far from being indifferent to life and death.
Diak is not a rigid centaur, and this should be considered a white lie.
"By the way, in our Great Zhou, the soldiers who signed this agreement will receive better treatment, whether they retire safely or are transformed into the undead."
Although Diak now had a completely skeleton face, with two flames flickering in his eye sockets, there was no change in his expression at all.
But for some reason, combined with the tone of Diak's words, Lex actually felt that the other party was winking at him.
This made him, who was immersed in the sad atmosphere because of Diak's death in the battle a moment ago, feel a little bit amused.
After a few seconds of relaxation, he now had to admit that being transformed into an undead seemed to be good.
At least looking at Diak who was still chatting with him casually, his originally heavy mood was obviously relieved a lot.
Then came a curiosity about the undead, and asked Diak a lot about the undead.
In response, Diak also answered casually.
Of course, he would judge the scale himself, he was not stupid, after all, he was a patriarch, and knew what to say and what not to say.
Even though Lex had revealed some intentions to their Great Zhou, he was not a member of their Great Zhou after all, and some things could not be said to the outside world. This matter had to be sorted out one by one and clearly divided.
Before leaving, Diak only sent Lex out of the tent. In his current situation, it was obviously inconvenient for him to show up too much.
"Lex, I have only told you about the Undead Tribe. I hope you can keep it a secret and don't spread it."
Lex could feel the extraordinary strategic value of the Undead Tribe just by listening. Once the news leaked, it would inevitably attract the covetousness of surrounding forces. Da Zhou had kept this trump card and had not revealed it. Now facing Diak's instructions, Lex's face also showed some solemnity.
"Don't worry, I will never say a word about this matter!"
