Chapter 397 Unreasonable

There is a time limit for the opening of the energy channel. At the same time, how long the naturally formed energy channel will be open, for now, basically depends on luck. After all, this thing is not that stable.

During this process, Li Ce and his team had already arrived at the scene.

After understanding the situation, the lizardman on the opposite side did not come over again until the energy channel was closed.

The news made their faces darken.

Soon after, the news here was quickly passed back to Caoyuan Village and reached Zhou Xu's ears.

Zhou Xu frowned when he heard the news.

His original plan was to use the three-bow crossbow to "block the door" when the opponent was completely unprepared, and then strike at the opposing Lizardmen's forces.

Under this premise, if the opponent chooses to attack forcefully or test, he will let them go appropriately and deliberately let some lizardmen in.

It is better to open up than to block. If he completely blocks the entrance to the passage, the Lizardmen will have to pay a huge price to attack, and the Lizardmen on the opposite side will most likely choose to give up launching an offensive at this stage and wait until the two continents are connected before launching an offensive.

On the other hand, if he lets in some lizardmen appropriately, it can make the opponent think that the defense here is not so tight and they can still attack. At the same time, he can also further suppress the opponent's manpower through this method.

Zhou Xu’s plan was very ambitious, but unfortunately, it failed this time.

He never expected that the lizardman on the opposite side would retreat so easily without even trying to test him.

[If it were me, and the enemy suddenly had an unknown powerful attack method, I would definitely try to find out the enemy's details, unless...]

As his thoughts raced, Zhou Xu gave the order.

"Pass the order down, tell Li Ce and the others not to let down their guard and observe for a while."

After the order was issued here, Li Ce and his troops were stationed on the border to watch over it, so they naturally did what they had to do in the rear.

Since the Lizardmen are not attacking at this stage, it is always right for them to develop quickly no matter what the other party thinks.

Not to mention it's already spring.

The spring ploughing work is about to begin. Because they have incorporated a large number of people from other primitive tribes this winter, in order to supply food, the Black Moon Village has reclaimed a large amount of land during the winter.

Given the current size of the land, even with the help of water wheels and oxen, there would be enough work for them to do.

And this is also the primary task at this stage.

After the large-scale incorporation of people, along with the rapid increase in the internal population, the food issue suddenly became a top priority.

In the previous winter, we had managed to survive relatively smoothly thanks to our heavy fishing and the accumulation of meat from the chicken and rabbit farms.

But the current price is that the number of chickens and rabbits at the farm has dropped sharply.

Chickens and rabbits can indeed reproduce, but they can't feed so many mouths.

If things continue like this, I'm sure I won't be able to bear it.

If we want to stabilize this situation, we must quickly plant the first batch of crops.

Because of this matter, Zhao Geng, Minister of Agriculture, has been under tremendous pressure recently.

Just like that, another half month passed...

From a visual perspective, the opposite continent has become much larger.

As the distance between the two continents continues to shorten, the frequency of space channels appears more and more frequently.

Normally, the space channel only appears once or twice in a month.

However, from the last time the space channel appeared to now, the space channel has appeared three times!

It has broken the little rule they had figured out before.

With the closure of the latest space channel, the Lizardmen still did not attack. After receiving the news, Zhou Xu was basically certain that the other party had temporarily given up the idea of ​​attacking.

But as mentioned before, this doesn't make sense.

As the two warring parties have already fought and suffered casualties on each other, this move is not reasonable.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the opposing leader has different ideas from him.

But Zhou Xu prefers to believe in another possibility...

"Teacher Wang, do you think there might be other troubles in the territory of the lizardmen?"

At this moment, in the room that serves as Wang Dong's 'Enchanting Studio', Zhou Xu helped Wang Dong to appropriately share a portion of the workload. In the process, he sorted out his thoughts while telling Wang Dong about his various speculations and possibilities.

Wang Dong really didn't understand all this. In fact, Wang Dong found that Zhou Xu didn't really need him to understand. He just needed to exist as a "listener".

Then respond appropriately and express some ideas from your own perspective.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"The creation of the three-bow crossbow has brought greater threats to the Lizardmen. Whether they attack by force or conduct probing, it means that they will have to pay a higher price in casualties. The other troubles in the territory have made them dare not bet more on this matter."

The conjecture proposed by Zhou Xu at this moment is valid, but Wang Dong still asked an appropriate question.

"Then why did they attack us before? Because the centaurs led by Drogo pissed them off? They wanted to rush over and kill us all?"

"Probably not."

Zhou Xu shook his head.

From the perspective of the rulers, mobilizing so many troops just to kill a few centaurs is not worth it no matter how you look at it.

At this time, Zhou Xu put himself in the other person's shoes and thought about this problem.

It really gave him some ideas.

"Could it be that the Lizardmen are in a stalemate with that 'trouble', or even that they are at a disadvantage and that side can no longer serve as a breakthrough point, so they turned their attention to this side, hoping to seek a breakthrough here, improve their strength, and then solve the trouble over there?"

In fact, Zhou Xu had done this before.

At that time, they were completely unable to move on the grassland. Zhou Xu had no choice but to turn around and explore the mountains to seek a breakthrough from there.

Zhou Xu's explanation made Wang Dong fall into silence. After carefully thinking about their king's words, Wang Dong found that this possibility was really something he could not refute.

"If that's the case, then what should we do now? Let the Lizardmen and 'Trouble' fight to the death, and see if we can benefit from it?"

In response, Zhou Xu shook his head again.

"From their previous actions, it is not difficult to see that the Lizardmen are not fools. They will not let us take advantage of them so easily."

Having said this, Zhou Xu paused.

"Besides, doing this is equivalent to relying on luck for one's fate. Sitting back and waiting for death is not my style. I prefer to take the initiative."

While muttering to himself, Zhou Xu stopped what he was doing and fell into deep thought.

Wang Dong, who was standing by, sighed as he looked at the piles of weapons waiting for him to enchant them, and then he resigned himself to his fate and continued to work...
