Chapter 544 Psychological Game

In the next few days, Zhou Xu seemed to have forgotten that the battle was still going on in the south, and put all his energy into the mining of acerbite.

The lizardmen's previous mining methods were too casual, and even though a lot of the mineral vein had been dug up, basically no safety measures were taken.

For the safety of the miners and to improve mining efficiency, the first thing Zhou Xu did after leading the miners to the mine was to reinforce the mine.

The miners have to do this in their daily work, so they are not unfamiliar with the operation now. After a busy period of work, they soon started the formal mining.

After each batch of mined spar is packaged in batches, the monitor lizards will transport it to the plain camp and temporarily hand it over to Silk and his men for care. When the next energy channel is opened, all of it will be transported back at once.

Zhou Xu has been busy with this matter these days. At this moment, the power of truth in his body has not yet recovered to its full strength. Now that Drogo and his men have rushed to the front line with weapons and equipment, there is no need for Zhou Xu to rush for the next few days. He should deal with the matters in the rear first.

Meanwhile, on the front line...

Bolevin was obviously aware that the ratmen on the opposite side were cunning and suspicious by nature. If there was no movement after he arrived at the front battlefield, the ratmen would most likely become suspicious.

According to the latest information brought back by the scouts at the front, the ratmen have begun to make moves again recently.

Bolevin knew the reason, because it was winter.

Although the temperature in the rainforest area where they live is not that cold all year round, once they leave their area, the farther away they are from them, the colder the winter climate becomes.

So when winter comes, rats also face a situation where it is difficult to obtain food.

Once the rats run out of food, they will immediately start a war.

As cannon fodder in the ratman tribe, a large number of ratman slave soldiers will die in the process, and these corpses will immediately become food for other ratman slave soldiers around them, thus greatly reducing their internal food pressure.

At the same time, they can also cause casualties to their mortal enemies, the Lizardmen.

From the perspective of the Rat People, this can be said to have only benefits and no disadvantages.

[Once the rat people launch an attack, if I don't take action, then the fact that I have lost my power will basically become a foregone conclusion, and at the same time, we will lose the initiative and fall into a passive position. ]

Thinking of this, Bolevin didn't dare to delay and directly called his subordinates.

"Quick, give the order immediately and get the troops moving. Make it look like you're going to attack. Of course, you don't have to attack right away. You can take your time. Do you understand what I mean?"

"clear!"

The subordinate was not stupid. Since Bolevin had already said this, how could he not understand the reason?

After agreeing, he quickly went to do his work.

Bolevin's meaning was very clear, he just wanted to deceive the opponent first.

At this moment, the ratmen on the opposite side were still a little unsure. Considering his existence, as long as the large army on their side showed signs of preparing to take action, the ratmen on the opposite side would most likely immediately switch from offense to defense and adopt a defensive posture to wait and see out of caution.

This way, they can buy some time.

After he finished making all the arrangements, Bo Levin seemed to have remembered something and spoke again...

"By the way, please invite Captain Zhou over here."

In the past, he was the one who had the final say in the Lizardmen tribe. He made all the arrangements, so why would he need to consult anyone? But now the situation is different.

As the representative sent by their king, Boleyn was still somewhat wary of Zhou Chongshan.

Not to mention that judging from the previous battle on the plains, he was also a powerful general. When they really fought with the rat people later, at the critical moment, he still expected him to bring the cavalry to help.

Normally, he should discuss such a major matter as mobilizing a large force with the other party first, but Bo Levin was used to being arbitrary, and he couldn't change it in such a short period of time. He simply forgot about Zhou Chongshan's existence.

Fortunately, Zhou Chongshan is relatively easy to talk to.

Zhou Xu asked him to come over just to let him observe the situation and wait for an opportunity to act. As for how the lizardmen were to fight, he did not let him interfere.

After all, Zhou Xu knew in his heart that in terms of combat effectiveness, Zhou Chongshan was indeed a top-notch general, but when it came to the ability to command operations, that was really not his area of ​​expertise.

Compared to Zhou Chongshan, Bolevin, who has fought against the ratmen for so many years, is definitely more reliable.

Instead of letting Zhou Chongshan change his job and do this, it would be more convenient to let Boleyn continue to do the command work.

After a brief conversation, seeing that Zhou Chongshan had no idea, Bo Levin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, looking at the other person's back as he left, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

[Could it be that the king wants to test my ability? ]

In Boleyn's view, Zhou Chongshan's existence represents their king, so doesn't Zhou Chongshan's attitude also represent the attitude of their king?

It was not difficult to see from the first formal meeting with their king in the temple that their king admired Soros very much, which put a lot of pressure on Bo Levin.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

At this moment, he secretly made up his mind that he must perform well this time and defeat that guy Soros!

This little episode here did not affect the actions of the large lizardman army outside.

Since that battle, the Lizardmen army, which had been silent for a long time, has finally taken action.

The ratman scouts hiding in the dark and observing quickly noticed the situation here and hurried back to report.

After learning that the Lizardman's high priest had gone to the front line in person, Claw, as the chief of the Claw tribe, obviously could not sit still and led his troops directly to the front line.

Once the claws arrived, the supreme command of the rat army on the front line would naturally change hands.

After listening to the scout's report, Claw frowned.

Ever since the Lizardman High Priest showed up, the Lizardman army has been silent.

At first, it could be said that the large army had just suffered a major defeat and needed to rest.

But if you count the time, it has been a long time and there is not enough time to rest.

This made Claw suspicious of the lizardman's high priest.

In addition, the food pressure has been increasing recently, so he issued an order to prepare to advance! No matter what the opponent is, it is always a good idea to use the lower-level slave soldiers to explore the opponent's details first.

Unexpectedly, the other party also took action.

This undoubtedly disrupted Claw's original plan to some extent.

After a brief struggle, Claw finally gave the order...

"Pass my order, stop advancing and prepare for defense!"

Obviously, he was still very afraid of the notorious Bolevin and was unwilling to take risks easily.
