Chapter 856 Can I Do It? !

The dwarf troops came and went quickly. Seeing them leave quickly, Shi Lei breathed a sigh of relief.

They finally solved the trouble of the greenskins. If they turned around and faced the dwarves again, it would be a nightmare.

While Shi Lei and Woking were talking, the medical team in the city had already rescued the cavalry troops outside the city at the fastest speed.

Unlike the infantry troops fighting in the city, the cavalry troops led by Xie Liancheng directly endured the frontal charge with the goblin wolf cavalry, and suffered heavy casualties. Xie Liancheng fainted directly, and Li Tie was also covered with wounds.

After briefly giving instructions on what needed to be ordered, Shi Lei went to see them.

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

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

"Lieutenant Colonel Xie wakes up, notify me immediately."

After giving this instruction, Shi Lei turned and left.

As the commander of an army, a war has just ended, and there are many things he needs to do!

The specific casualty report was quickly delivered to him.

In this battle, the casualties of the infantry in the city were not bad, but the cavalry suffered heavy losses.

Three hundred cavalrymen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in this bloody battle with the Goblin Wolf Cavalry, directly killed 197 people, seriously injured 31 people, and the rest were basically slightly injured.

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

This is not a small number.

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

And the training and cultivation costs of the cavalry are also needless to say.

Adding the costs of war horses and cavalry together, this wave is equivalent to the loss of an infantry unit of 2,000 people!

Of course, if we think optimistically, they at least defeated the greenskins and defended the New North District, and they didn't have to hand over the land they had just occupied.

With this mood, Shi Lei wrote a report to their majesty.

At the same time, outside the logging site of Green Forest City, centaurs with shackles on their hands and feet were sweating and dragging carriages full of wood towards the wood processing plant.

Needless to say, these were the centaurs who were captured by Jie Liancheng and his men.

They never kept idle people in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the centaurs were the same.

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

Zhou Xu had previously recruited 5,000 soldiers, and the impact on the labor force in the New South District could not be ignored.

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

In the New South District, Green Forest City is not only a big city that produces wood, but also the second largest grain-producing city.

When the Centaur captives arrived here, the work assigned to them was to pull carts, mainly responsible for transporting crops and wood.

Outside the farm, accompanied by heavy muffled sounds, the farmers put the bagged grains on the carriages one by one.

"Almost done, let's go!"

As another bag of grain was put down, the farmer patted the carriage, indicating that the Centaur captive could set off.

"Is this the last batch today?"

As he spoke, the Centaur captive turned his head and looked at the two bags of grain that had not been loaded on the side, and then looked at the carriage that was already full.

"Yes, this is the last batch today."

The Centaur captive nodded after getting the answer, and then pointed with his hand.

"Put the two bags of grain directly on my back, so I don't have to run another trip later."

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

The Centaur captive couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard this.

"How can I not do it?! Find a fixed rope to fix it, I can carry ten more bags without any problem, hurry up, it's time for dinner!"

The farmer was not angry when he heard this, but laughed happily twice.

"That's fine!"

As he spoke, he directly moved the two bags of grain to the Centaur captive's back.

Feeling the weight, the Centaur captive tensed his body.

To be honest, it's very heavy!

But considering the old man watching on the side, the Centaur captive immediately snorted and pretended to be relaxed while pulling a cart of grain.

When they arrived at the place and unloaded the grain cart, the Centaur captive stretched his muscles and bones, but did not rest, and trotted all the way towards the canteen not far away that had begun to emit fragrance.

On the way, he met other tribesmen, all of whom looked the same as him.

"What do you think will be our dinner today?"

"I want braised pork."

"I want spare ribs."

"Braised pork and spare ribs are good, but I still want fried chicken with vinegar."

"..."

After all, they were a special race to be recruited, and Zhou Xu didn't treat them harshly in terms of food when the Centaur captives worked hard.

For now, they were quite satisfied with the food in the cafeteria of 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 captives?

In the cafeteria, many people had arrived before them. There were humans and other centaurs.

Seeing them come in, they even greeted them very familiarly. Everyone was used to their existence, and no one thought it was strange that they appeared in the cafeteria.

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

Think about it carefully, when they were first captured, they were forced to do hard labor here in order to survive, and they were still wearing shackles on their hands and feet. At least they were still unruly in their hearts.

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

You know, in the past contact with humans, the humans they met looked at them with fear, disgust, and even hatred.

They are mercenaries, earning money from war. Over time, they are almost tied to war. As long as they appear, war will inevitably follow.

This makes many humans directly regard them as disaster stars.

As soon as they appear, war breaks out, as if the war was brought by them.

The Centaurs have always felt that they don’t care about these things. Anyway, they do make money from war. Disaster stars are disaster stars. It doesn’t matter what humans think of them.

But until now, they have been coolies in Da Zhou for a quarter. In their interactions with the people of Da Zhou, they slowly realized that they still care in their hearts...
