Chapter 860: Delayed Intelligence (Part Two)
After Shilke went out to handle matters, a carrier pigeon from Green Forest City arrived.
After confirming the contents of the letter and learning that Zhuo Ge and the others had successfully taken in the centaur prisoners, this should have been good news. Yet Zhou Xu could not feel happy at all.
Green-skinned creatures had appeared in New North District and overrun Pingyuan City. If Zhuo Ge and the others were still in New North District, they would surely have been able to serve as an important fighting force.
However, the centaurs led by Zhuo Ge had rushed back without pause because of his order.
At the thought of this, Zhou Xu felt his blood pressure rise.
Indeed, unless he could predict the future, there was no way anyone could have anticipated such a sudden turn of events. But that did nothing to ease Zhou Xu's irritation at that moment.
He exhaled a long breath, adjusted his emotions, then sat back down at his desk and began writing another letter.
"Send this directly to Green Forest City by carrier pigeon, and deliver it to Colonel Zhuo Ge."
"Yes!"
Looking on the bright side, it was a good thing that Zhuo Ge had returned to New South District ahead of time and recruited the centaur prisoners. At least they could now mobilize that entire centaur force along with him.
Given the current situation, he would first have Zhuo Ge accompany Li Ce to Anling City and stand by.
As for the subsequent operations, they would have to wait until the messenger arrived and they had a more detailed understanding of the situation before making a decision. In the meantime, they could also wait for a reply from the Wood Elves.
