Chapter 295 No Choice
On this side, for the new recruits, their nightmare has just begun.
On the other side, in the weaving factory of Yanhu Village, Wang Dong seemed very satisfied with the country name that Zhou Xu had just established.
"Not bad Zhou!"
"I have read in some archaeological documents that a mouth is like the boundary of a field, with crisscross paths like the fields planted. Field means a place for planting. In the earliest times, 'Zhou' referred to farmland with clear boundaries. Your idea is also to focus on agriculture and development, so the name 'Zhou' is very appropriate!"
"And the surname 'Zhou' itself has a great origin. It originated from the surname Ji, and is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor."
Having said that, Wang Dong paused, and there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes as he looked at Zhou Xu.
"Now that I think about it, the word 'Xu' in your name is quite interesting."
"What does it mean? My name used to be Zhou Hongxu. Later, when I was in elementary school, my parents thought the character was too difficult to write and had too many strokes, so they changed it to Zhou Xu."
Speaking of his name, Zhou Xu, who remembered this incident, said it casually.
Unexpectedly, after listening to it, Wang Dong's eyes lit up.
"This is even more interesting. The word 'xu' means 'beginning', and it also implies the inheritance of achievements. The word 'hongxu' refers directly to the great unity, which is the king's cause!"
Wang Dong spoke very convincingly about his own name, but Zhou Xu himself disagreed.
His name was chosen casually by his parents, and they changed it casually as well. It was probably just a coincidence.
With the war imminent, he still had a lot of things to do, so he handed the task of designing the flag to Wang Dong and left.
From the moment he realized the lizardman invasion, Zhou Xu had been struggling with one question: whether or not to go to Tieshan Village and bring back the big bone.
He originally placed the big bones in the newly built Tieshan Village so that there would be a large skeleton unit on each side of the border ready for use at any time.
Even now, Zhou Xu feels that there is nothing wrong with his arrangement at that time.
After all, he couldn't predict the future, so how could he have imagined that lizard people would break in from other worlds?
And according to the information obtained from Slavin, the two world fragments will most likely be pieced together in the future. At that time, they will face a full-scale invasion of the lizardmen! Considering this step, Zhou Xu felt that he still needed to make this trip in person to Tieshan Village to bring the big bone back to the grassland!
As for Caoyuan Village, before leaving, he had delegated power to Li Ce and Ye Jinghong, allowing the two to take full command in case of any unexpected situation.
All the orders were issued, and the entire Great Zhou had entered a high-speed operation state.
Meanwhile, on the prairie...
【Eagle Eye! 】
As these two words were spoken, Silk's eyes suddenly became sharp and his vision also became broader.
He clearly saw that the lizardmen who poured in from another world had now set up a camp on the edge of this fragment of the world.
Seeing through the Lizardman's intention at a glance, Silk's brows furrowed deeply.
"Based on the situation, the longer we delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for us. The Lizardmen are guarding this side. As soon as the energy channel is opened, the follow-up troops of the Lizardmen will rush over immediately. As long as the size of the enemy tribe is large enough, the enemy's troops will increase in number!"
"But Lord Silk, with so many lizardmen coming, how are we going to solve their food problem?"
The idea of the grassland elf who raised this point was very simple, which was that the Lizardmen would eventually be forced to disintegrate due to food problems.
When it comes to military force, the more the better. Mouths have to be fed. If the food problem cannot be solved, then if they delay a little longer, they may be able to wear down the enemy.
However, just as he uttered these words, several teams of velociraptors came running back from a distance, carrying wild antelopes as prey on their backs!
Unlike the coming winter, autumn is an excellent season for hunting, and prey is abundant on the grasslands.
The hunting ability of this group of lizardmen has been proven to a certain extent at this moment. It also makes Silk and others clearly realize that at this juncture, it is unrealistic to want to kill the opponent with food.
To be honest, if they allow those lizardmen to hunt at will on their grassland, it may lead to a sharp decline in the number of animals on their grassland, and in turn, have a significant impact on them living on this grassland!
"You two stay here and keep an eye on the actions of those lizardmen. I will go back and report the situation here to the tribe leader."
As he spoke, Silk turned around and left, rushing back to the camp as quickly as possible to report the matter to Slavin.
After listening to the report, Slavin looked solemn.
"Hurry and bring the soldier from Da Zhou here!"
After receiving the news, the messenger soldier who stayed here came quickly, and after understanding the situation, he rode his horse all the way back to the grassland village as quickly as possible.
"Report to the village chief and lieutenant! The grassland elves have already obtained information about the lizardmen and want us to send someone over to discuss countermeasures."
But at this point in time, their leader was not in the grassland village at all. According to the arrangements made before the leader left, Li Ce stood up without saying a word.
"You guard the village, and I'll go to the grassland elves."
From Caoyuan Village, Li Ce went to the meeting as a representative.
As for the Centaurs, the one who came was naturally the chieftain Drogo.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
When Slavin saw that the person who came to discuss the matter was Li Ce instead of Zhou Xu, he did not react too much.
Unlike human tribes where the most capable fighter becomes the leader, the elves place more emphasis on bloodline. Simply put, his grandfather was the tribe leader, his father was the tribe leader, so he is also the tribe leader.
Although in general, the purer the bloodline of an elf, the stronger its strength tends to be, but sometimes, the identity and strength of a clan leader are not completely equal.
For example, in combat, Slavin didn't think he could do better than Silk.
And Zhou Xu had said before that Li Ce was the general in charge of commanding operations under him. It was normal for the general to come and discuss matters in Slavin's view.
After listening to the information obtained from the grassland elves, Li Ce and Drogo undoubtedly realized the trouble involved.
At the same time, it also made the three parties completely realize that they had fallen into a dilemma with no other choice.
Once the Lizardmen are no longer in a hurry to attack, they will have no room to fight a defensive battle and can only take the initiative to attack.
Otherwise, every time the energy channel is opened, the threat of the Lizardmen is likely to increase.
This terrible situation forced the three parties to reach a consensus.
There is no choice, this is the only conclusion, attack!
"According to my idea, each of the three of us can send out a cavalry team, each responsible for an area, and move out in pairs. It would be best if we could stagger the time and use cavalry archery tactics to consume the opponent."
Pointing at the map, Li Ce quickly expressed his thoughts.
The Centaurs and the grassland elves on this grassland all make a living by hunting. When it comes to horse riding and archery tactics, there is no way they don't understand it.
As for why they don't gather together and start the operation...
On the one hand, they are small in scale and more flexible, and on the other hand, there has been no in-depth cooperation among the three tribes, and if they are forced together, they will most likely get in each other's way.
If someone betrays whom, it may affect the major events of the tripartite alliance.
Instead of that, it would be better to divide the troops into three groups, which would not only maintain the advantage of flexibility and allow each to use their own methods, but also allow them to pull each other from three directions and cover each other.
The update is here, and I would like to thank my book friends '孤寂的鸿' and '炎阳雨露' for their tips!
