Chapter 466 Situation

Since they had formed rattan armor soldiers a long time ago, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty already knew how important armor was.

And this battle has made them realize this even more deeply.

But on the other hand, after the war, they had to include the loss of armor in their loss statistics.

In fact, many scales are badly damaged. Currently, there is a lack of specialized personnel on the front line who can repair this type of armor. Once the armor is obviously damaged, it can only be sent back for repair.

Fortunately, among the latest supplies delivered, there are spare armors, and after checking the numbers, it can basically make up for the loss.

In addition, thanks to the efficient operations of the logistics troops yesterday, their material reserves are completely sufficient to sustain them until the next supply is delivered.

However, Li Ce had no intention of just sitting there and doing nothing for the next period of time.

Different from before.

Although they were also guarding the plains area before and did not make any further actions, because they had fought with the Lizardmen earlier, the Lizardmen knew that they had powerful cavalry and would not act rashly.

But now both sides have just finished a tough battle. Simply put, they are now guessing each other's situation.

If they knew that the other party was no longer able to fight, I believe none of them would mind giving the other party a fatal blow.

In this situation, the Lizardmen, who have the home advantage, undoubtedly have a greater advantage.

[I just don't know what the current situation is with the ratmen and lizardmen in the south? 】

As this doubt flashed through his mind, Li Ce turned to look at the personal soldiers beside him.

"Go find the Centaur representatives and tell them that I want to learn about the battle between the Lizardmen and the Ratmen in the south."

"yes!"

After receiving a response, the guards quickly ran to call Diak, who was now the chief of the Centaurs.

At this moment, Diak was undoubtedly covered in wounds. Considering their cooperative relationship, he asked the medical department to treat the Centaurs and provide them with food, which showed his full sincerity and made Diak and the others feel a lot more at ease.

As for the other party's casualties, this is a relatively private issue, and Li Ce has no intention of asking about it at this moment.

The personal soldier who went to deliver the message directly explained his purpose to Diak when he went. Therefore, Diak, who already understood the situation, did not say a word after he came over. He went straight to the point and talked about the battle between the ratmen and lizardmen in the south.

Of course, as a bystander who didn't see the whole thing, he could only give a rough idea.

But it was enough for Li Ce to learn the key information that the Lizardmen in the south had won the battle and the Ratmen had retreated.

He had previously speculated whether the ratmen had retreated, otherwise how could the lizardmen, who had been unable to withdraw troops, suddenly withdraw troops? Now this speculation can be said to have been thoroughly verified.

As for what happened later on the southern battlefield, Diak and his men were not very clear about it, because they had already started to rush back at that time.

Unlike the Lizardman troops who arrived here directly through their own territory, in order to avoid the threat from the Lizardmen, Diak and his men had to make a detour from the periphery and needed to run more distance.

If they didn't turn back from that time, they would never have been able to catch up with this wave of support.

"How are the forces of the ratmen and lizardmen on the southern battlefield?"

Faced with this question, recalling the horrific scenes he saw on the battlefield, Diak couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.

To be honest, even though they have been neighbors with the Lizardmen for so many years, they still don't have a particularly intuitive concept of how many troops the Lizardmen have.

Until I took that look on the battlefield in the south.

That number was completely beyond Diak's common sense. Diak had no use for numbers in his daily life. He opened his mouth several times but couldn't utter a word. In the end, he could only say...

"The Lizardmen and Ratmen have so many troops that they can overwhelm both sides of us!"

Hearing this, Li Ce's face suddenly became more solemn.

To some extent, Diak's description is quite apt.

"So many that they can overwhelm both sides of us. That means there must be at least thousands, or even tens of thousands of soldiers, right?"

Li Ce felt that the latter was more likely.

[If the ratmen have been completely wiped out by them, then the lizardmen could just march in with their entire army, there is no need to send back just this small number of troops.]

[Although the Lizardmen won the battle, they failed to destroy the Ratmen. At the same time, their offensive may have been curbed and can no longer be carried out...]

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In his mind, Li Ce conducted a quick analysis based on the limited information provided by Diak.

[If it were me, facing the more threatening ratmen, and having the upper hand, I would definitely want to concentrate my forces to wipe out the ratmen in one go, rather than splitting them up to deal with another force that poses less of a threat.]

It has to be said that Li Ce's brain was quite quick. In just a blink of an eye, he had analyzed the situation on the southern battlefield almost perfectly.

[In order to ensure the advantage on the southern battlefield, the Lizardmen’s large army must continue to stay there to guard against the Ratmen’s possible counterattack at any time. The question now is, what exactly do the Ratmen think? What is the situation? ]

[According to the plan that the King had made in advance, through the mouths of Diak and the others, the ratmen should have known of our existence, and also knew that the lizardmen were being attacked from all sides. Normally speaking, as mortal enemies, the ratmen would definitely not want to miss such an opportunity.]

[But what I am unsure about now is whether the rat people still have the strength to fight back...]

[Even if you don't want to miss the opportunity, if your strength can't keep up, you can only accept the reality. ]

It is no exaggeration to say that the situation on both sides has formed a situation where they can influence each other.

If the rat people fail, they will be in danger.

Thinking of this, Li Ce couldn't help but look more worried.

At the same time, unlike the worried Li Ce, the Black Moon Village in the Great Zhou had just finished transporting a new wave of supplies to the front line. A new day and new discoveries in the mountains made Zhou Xu very happy.

At this moment, Zhou Xu, who was sitting on the throne in the court, was holding a columnar plant in his hand. He peeled off the outer skin, and a piece of dense yellow flesh suddenly appeared in front of him.

These are the fruits of the plants that Shi Lei accidentally discovered while exploring in the mountains. He picked a lot of them and sent them here for research.

Now Zhou Xu was looking at this thing and couldn't help but want to laugh out loud three times to express his current mood.

Because the fruit of the plant he was holding in his hand was none other than corn! (End of this chapter)
