Led by Lex, the centaur mercenaries had successfully reunited with the main army two days earlier.
Just as Zhou Xu had learned before, the centaur forces had been forced to scatter in all directions after being attacked by an enemy orc in the Vajra Realm.
The centaur mercenaries led by Lex had been lucky. They had not caught the attention of the opposing Goblin Wolf Cavalry.
However, his clansmen had all scattered in the process, and it had taken Lex quite some time to gather the forces back together.
By the time Lex led the centaur mercenaries under his command to reunite with the main army, he learned that the orc main force had previously made a desperate last stand by launching an attack on the allied army. In the end, the two top-tier powerhouses—the Great Zhou Emperor and Holy Roland I—had joined forces to crush them.
This had caused the battle to be decided ahead of time. What followed could no longer really be called a war against the orcs, but rather a purge aimed at the orc faction.
During this process, Lex had naturally learned that the Great Zhou centaur cavalry had been targeted by the main force of the Goblin Wolf Cavalry, as well as the news that Diak had died in battle.
