Chapter 514: The Returning Lizardman

Upon hearing this news, Zhou Xu immediately frowned.

Due to the information gap between the two parties, Zhou Xu at this moment did not know that after the consciousness left by the Dragon God Ceylon disappeared, the lizard people lost the power blessing from the Dragon God.

Under this premise, the other party's sudden return undoubtedly brought him a certain degree of pressure.

Yes, he now has the 'Dragon Lord' aura BUFF, but the problem is how effective this aura BUFF can be? He doesn't know! So far, he hasn't even had a chance to test it.

He always has a cautious attitude towards things that have not been confirmed yet.

"Pass on my order. Have the surrounding troops gather over there. Leave two teams to patrol the surroundings to prevent the Lizardmen from getting around or attacking from the side."

After making quick arrangements, the group led by Zhou Xu were preparing to rush back.

Qiansui, who had been accompanying them throughout the whole journey, probably saw their anxiety, so he called out to Zhou Xu.

"You mean you'll take me there?"

Chitose nodded.

The situation was urgent, so Zhou Xu didn't waste any time. He flipped over and rode directly on Qiansui's back, not forgetting to catch Bam.

Bam is an ancient dragon after all. Although he is not the dragon god believed in by the lizardmen, he is still the son of the dragon god. Maybe he can play a role in some way when the time comes.

After waiting for Zhou Xu to sit firmly, Qiansui started running quickly.

Feeling the violent bumps, in order to prevent himself from being thrown off, Zhou Xu quickly lowered his body and grabbed Qiansui's hair.

It turns out that Qiansui's body structure makes it unsuitable to serve as a mount.

Even when running in a straight line, it was extremely difficult for Zhou Xu to keep his body steady, not to mention in this complex rainforest environment, he often needed to dodge left and right to avoid trees and vegetation that blocked his way.

However, despite the bumpy ride, Zhou Xu was still thinking about the Lizardman's actions this time on his way.

[What does it mean to suddenly turn back? According to the current situation, it would be wisest for them to go directly south and join their main force. ]

[It's impossible that you suddenly regretted and didn't want to leave, right? ]

Zhou Xu felt that this situation was a bit ridiculous. If there was any high probability and reasonable...

[Or did they meet up with the large Lizardmen force that had withdrawn from the front line halfway?]

When he thought of this, Zhou Xu felt more stressed.

The troops withdrawn from the front line may not be in good condition and are withdrawn for rest, but they cannot change the threat posed by the increase in the opponent's military strength.

Qiansui was very fast and arrived here in just a few thoughts.

Although he and Li Ce were not there, knowing that the enemy was approaching, the soldiers in the army did not need to wait for clear orders from them before they could start to carry out some basic responses.

Using the Lizardmen's homeland as their defense line, the sword and shield soldiers stationed here have now formed a battle formation and are ready for battle.

Under this premise, due to Qiansui's status, Zhou Xu arrived earlier than the messenger who was supposed to be responsible for conveying the order, so he issued the subsequent orders personally.

As a result, after giving the order, he found that the team responsible for guarding against the Lizardmen's sneak attacks from behind had already taken action. Someone had made this arrangement before him.

"Who made the response deployment here?"

In response to the question, a soldier dressed in rattan armor walked out from the army.

"I am Li Tie, your Majesty! I made the arrangements here."

When Zhou Xu heard the name, he immediately remembered it.

【It turned out to be him. 】

Although Li Tie is also an excellent talent with double and three-star potential, his presence is ultimately a little weak compared to the impression left on him by four-star and five-star talents.

In addition, after not seeing each other for such a long time, with the changes in daily diet and the improvement of body nutrition, Li Tie's body shape and appearance have also undergone earth-shaking changes.

Now he has grown into a strong and sturdy man. It is normal that Zhou Xu cannot recognize him.

“Well done.”

Without blaming the other party for acting on his own initiative, Zhou Xu gave him praise generously.

In fact, Li Tie's command star rating is only two stars, which is within the level of ordinary people.

Of course, ordinary people also have different strengths. After all, Li Tie used to be a village chief, and his actual command ability should be considered strong among ordinary people.

Judging from his current performance, it should not be a problem for him to lead some small troops in combat alone, and he can be considered for appointment later.

Just as he was thinking this, a rapid horn sounded from a distance.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This is a signal from within their army, which roughly means 'The enemy is approaching quickly, be prepared to fight back!'

Upon hearing the signal, Zhou Xu waved his hand, signaling Li Tie to return to the team. The sword and shield soldiers raised their shields and swords, and were on full alert.

As they were holding their positions as the defenders, it was pointless for the Lizardmen who had turned back to hide, as they would soon advance completely.

This time, the high priest's idea was very simple. Under the premise that they had to face both the Great Zhou and the Rat People at the same time, they would surely die if they lost the blessing of the Dragon God.

Before, they gave up the temple, betrayed the gods, and lost their blessings. Now, even at all costs, he is determined to take back the temple and let the gods favor them again!

And this is their only way to survive.

However, at this moment, they had just advanced a certain distance when an extremely strong feeling suddenly emerged, and even the high priest was no exception.

This strong feeling seemed to have some kind of attraction, causing them to unconsciously turn their gaze towards the figure standing on the battlefield.

It was an overwhelming presence! The moment his eyes met that figure, the high priest felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

At the same time, including the eight blue lizard guards who were responsible for carrying his sedan chair, the lizard people who were so aggressive and determined to take back the temple the moment before, fell to their knees without control the next moment.

This includes Soros, who has always lacked reverence for God!

For Soros, he has never felt so strongly as he does now.

This is entirely a reaction from his deepest instinct as a living being.

It felt as if there was an unquestionable voice telling him...

【Worship! Your master is there! 】

At that moment, Soros felt that his body was not his own.

He completely lost control of his body, and his knees bent unconsciously in a posture of worship.

The more he tried to resist, the stronger the suffocating feeling became. Only by worshipping could he get a moment's respite in front of that great being...

At this moment, no words were needed, they already knew in their hearts that their god had arrived! (End of this chapter)
