Chapter 1241: Not Suitable for Marching

The greenskins are changing their tactics, and the Saint Laurent Empire is also changing its tactics. The offense and defense of both sides on the battlefield are constantly adjusting.

Faced with the surging greenskin army, when they clearly realized that they were already at a disadvantage, continuing to fight with the greenskin army would only increase their casualties.

For the Saint Laurent Empire today, the wisest thing to do is to stabilize the war situation and launch a counterattack after reinforcements arrive.

But this situation undoubtedly soon aroused the vigilance of the Greenskin Emperor.

"Something is wrong. Although it is only a slight change, the Saint Laurent Empire's counterattack strength is gradually decreasing."

"Great Emperor, could it be that we have beaten them to the point where they have lost the ability to fight back?"

The goblin shaman next to him was full of flattery, but the greenskin emperor didn't buy it at all and even scolded him directly.

"WAAAAGH! After fighting them for so long, don't I know how powerful they are? Idiot!!"

The flattery hit the horse's legs directly. Facing the scolding from the greenskin emperor, the goblin shaman next to him trembled with his legs and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty, calm down!!"

The green-skinned emperor looked gloomy.

"Get out of here!"

After hearing this, the Goblin Shaman felt as if he had been pardoned, but he still didn't dare to stand up. In the end, he really just rolled to the side with two grunts.

Seeing this, the green-skinned emperor ignored him and continued talking to himself...

"I feel like they are deliberately conserving their strength. I'm afraid they are calling for reinforcements. They want to wait for the reinforcements to arrive before launching a counterattack!"

The green-skinned emperor said this while looking at the Bloody Hand King who was sitting in the lower seat.

Sensing the gaze from the green-skinned emperor, Blood Hand King's face froze.

He understood what the Greenskin Emperor meant. In the current situation, the only coalition force that could come to support the Saint Laurent Empire was probably the Smith Kingdom that had repelled him before, and of course, the Warrior Women Clan, as well as the unknown force that appeared at the same time as the Warrior Women Clan!

The threat from the Smith Kingdom was the smallest. The real trouble was the warrior queen holding Gungnir and the two mages from the unknown force who had entered the holy realm...

Thinking of this, a burly figure flashed quickly in Blood Hand King's mind, causing his heart to skip a beat.

Well, and that damn extraordinary creature!

Thinking about that 'roar and slap' combo attack now, his scalp tingled.

Although he had the upper hand during the fight, if he was given a chance to choose, he definitely didn't want to fight that extraordinary creature again! A new round of discussions began in the Greenskin Emperor's tent regarding this situation.

During this period, time passed quietly. The march from Smith Kingdom was not smooth. Snowflakes were falling from the sky and snow was accumulating on the ground. Just one week after the march, the army began to suffer from casualties.

The slippery and icy ground caused many soldiers to fall and even sprain their feet.

Before this incident was over, violent coughing sounds began to occur again in the ranks of the Smith Republic.

Peter realized that something was wrong and immediately signaled the main force to stop advancing and then launched emergency operations.

As soon as the advance stopped, Zhou Xu and Yalvet naturally heard the news and quickly sent a subordinate to confirm the situation.

The person who went to confirm the situation came back quickly and reported...

"Your Majesty, there is a patient in the Smith Republic's team. The symptoms are currently confirmed to be severe coughing. It is not clear whether it is contagious."

In this marching team, the troops of the Great Zhou and the Women Warrior Clan were relatively close, while they kept a certain distance from the troops of the Smith Republic.

Now that he had understood the situation to a certain extent, Zhou Xu hurriedly signaled his troops to further distance themselves.

If it is an infectious disease and it spreads to them, it will be troublesome.

Of course, Zhou Xu was also very concerned about the follow-up situation over there. The next morning, he received news confirming that the patient had a high fever again that night, and his consciousness began to become blurred.

In addition, the number of people coughing within the army began to increase.

These patients were mainly concentrated under Peter's command, that is, the soldiers sent by the Russian Republican Party.

Zhou Xu was not too surprised when he learned about this situation.

The bad weather will put the soldiers' physical fitness to the test. The soldiers of the Rakshasa Republican Party generally have poor physical fitness, and most of them are malnourished.

In the past, many slaves in the Smith Kingdom would fall ill every winter. After confirming the situation, the slave owner would immediately kill the slave.

Because they also knew that once an infectious disease appeared, it might even pose a threat to them and cause them to suffer greater losses. Killing the slave immediately would actually stop the loss in time.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After all, to slave owners, the lives of one or two slaves mean nothing.

Although the Luosha Republican Party has been established now, and those slaves have escaped from their slavery and even become soldiers, their bodies that have been suffering from long-term malnutrition cannot adjust so quickly.

This will also cause their immunity to be weaker than normal people, and they will be more susceptible to disease.

It was obviously impossible for Peter to solve this wave of infectious diseases by directly killing the patients like previous slave owners did.

From Peter's point of view, this approach is tantamount to digging one's own grave.

Peter, knowing this, confirmed the number of patients overnight and then quarantined them. As God's chosen one, he had a plan for this situation.

During this period, it is certainly impossible for the large force to stay in the same place.

Peter had no choice but to leave a team behind to take care of the sick soldiers, and at the same time send a messenger to notify the logistics troops to come and provide support.

Generally speaking, Peter's handling efficiency was still relatively high, and the advancement efficiency of the large force was not delayed too much.

After confirming the news, Zhou Xu didn't think too much about it. He signaled his troops to keep a distance from the troops of the Smith Republic and advance safely.

But this matter obviously will not end like this, and the fact is that the troops of the Smith Republic have been losing men along the way.

At first, the scope was concentrated only on Peter's subordinates, but gradually, soldiers under Fisher's command also began to become ill.

Otherwise, why is it said that winter is not suitable for marching and fighting?

This in itself is actually not a rare thing, but because the situation first appeared under Peter's command, Fisher always felt that it was that bastard Peter who infected him with the disease, causing Fisher to look unusually ugly these past two days.

As a result, the Smith Republic's troops, which had been barely united, were invisibly divided into two distinct groups...
