The speculations in everyone's hearts subtly lent the entire banquet an air of intrigue.
Zhou Xu, meanwhile, remained as composed as ever.
As far as Copper Furnace Fortress was concerned, it was wartime, after all. The Slaughter Clan's army had only withdrawn a short while ago, and it was still unclear what would happen next.
Even if King Otto had truly died, they wouldn't announce the king's death in the short term.
After all, once the news got out, leaving aside the external forces, their own side would certainly descend into chaos, and their morale would be hit as well.
At the banquet, everyone had their own thoughts, so no one drank to their heart's content.
After casually dealing with a few rounds, Zhou Xu said goodbye to Balem and returned to the camp to rest.
The moment Holy Roland I saw Zhou Xu leave, he didn't linger either. After all, unlike Zhou Xu, he was still injured. He was the one who truly needed to get some rest early.
After returning to camp, Zhou Xu immediately began meditating, while Gege Wu went to the corpses brought by the main army and began absorbing Undead Energy.
In terms of timing, unless they had been mage units, the souls of ordinary soldiers would have dissipated long ago. In other words, these corpses now had only one value: supplying Gege Wu with energy.
Even the two undead who had been in the Vajra Realm while alive had to stand aside for now.
At this stage, Undead Energy was relatively limited. If the two of them absorbed it all, they might not be able to return to the Vajra Realm smoothly. But if Gege Wu absorbed it all, he would certainly be able to convert more undead later.
The calculation was simple enough.
