Chapter 843 Green Monster
After successfully conquering Liang State, while they were sending back the report, Zhou Xu also issued the latest orders here.
For the sake of convenience, Zhou Xu temporarily named this area of the original Liang State territory the "New North District", and the new continent area where they were located was named the "New South District".
There is still some distance between the New South District and the New North District. In order to ensure control over the New North District, Zhou Xu made the following arrangements...
"Pass on my order to promote Shi Lei's military rank to colonel and appoint him as the 'New North District Commander-in-Chief'. Lead a large force to continue to stay in New North District and wait for follow-up arrangements."
"Flying Swallow City's defender, Zhuo Ge, was also promoted to colonel, and his deputy, Bai Tu, was promoted to captain. They were ordered to lead the Feiyan City troops to withdraw."
"As for the new recruits that will be dispatched later, they will all be led by Shi Lei, the New North District's chief commander!"
Upon receiving the order, Zhuogo was not dissatisfied with it. He could even be said to be eager to return home. He wished he could grow wings and fly directly back to the New South District.
Because in the order given to him, Zhou Xu had directly told him that the Centaur mercenaries who had been missing for a long time were now in their hands, and were all detained in a recruit training camp located between Black Rock City and West Mountain City, waiting for him to come back and recruit them.
Now, where can Drogo stay?
At that time, Drogo and his men were in Daliang City. In order to return as quickly as possible, he went directly through Anling City. In this way, he could just pass by the recruit training camp there, recruit the Centaur mercenaries, and then return to Feiyan City.
Three days had passed after Drogo and his companions left. Outside Daliang City, a fast horse galloped all the way to the city.
The long journey had pushed the soldier's physical condition and mental will to the limit. When he arrived at the foot of the city, his exhausted body was unable to exert any strength and he fell off the horse.
The commotion outside the city made the defenders inside the city nervous. They hurriedly opened the city gate partially and ran to check on the soldier's situation.
"Which unit are you from? What happened?!"
The fall from the horse's back made him dazed and dizzy. Everything went black before his eyes. He managed to hold on to the last bit of consciousness and uttered those words...
"Pingyuan City has fallen."
After saying this, the soldier fainted completely.
Upon hearing the news, the city defense soldier was stunned. After being stunned for two seconds, he grabbed his colleague who was rushing out.
"Take good care of him!"
After saying that, he rushed into the city without looking back and reported the news to Shi Lei as quickly as possible.
After confirming the news, Shi Lei didn't even have time to think about it. He made a prompt decision and quickly gave the order...
"Quick! Send out a cavalry squad to chase Colonel Drogo and his men back! At the same time, send another cavalry squad to conduct reconnaissance near Plain City to confirm whether the intelligence is true!"
Shi Lei's order was given here, and the two cavalry teams that received the order set out urgently with their respective missions, not daring to delay for a moment.
The soldier who brought the news had fainted by now, and no more information could be obtained.
Sitting in his office, Shi Lei tried to focus on the work at hand, but the vague irritation in his heart made it impossible for him to calm down.
Shi Lei hasn't had this feeling for a long time since he was appointed by their Majesty to take over an entire mountainous area and lead an army alone.
In Pingyuan City, in addition to the people in the city, there are also 500 garrison troops from their Great Zhou, and they don't know what is going on at the moment.
At the same time, Shi Lei was even more confused as to what kind of enemy attacked Pingyuan City.
The soldier who brought the news woke up in the middle of the night. Shi Lei had given a special order that no matter what time it was, as soon as the other party woke up, he should report to him immediately! Because of what happened during the day, Shi Lei couldn't sleep at all.
After learning that the other party had woken up, he rushed over immediately.
The other person fainted during the day, Chunchun was just tired and hungry.
After he woke up, the kitchen had already prepared a special meal for him overnight. When Shi Lei arrived, he was sitting there wolfing down the food.
Seeing Shi Lei, the soldier quickly put down the bowl and prepared to stand up and salute.
"Just sit down, no need to bow! Let me understand the situation!"
Hearing this, the soldier obviously remembered something and his face instantly turned ugly.
This made Shi Lei even more anxious. He had a lot of questions to ask, but he knew that it was useless to throw all these questions at the other party at once. The other party needed to sort out his thoughts.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Faced with this concise and clear question, the soldier slowly spoke...
"An enemy we have never seen before has appeared outside Plain City."
"Their bodies are very similar to ours, but they have green skin and two huge canine teeth, just like wild beasts!"
What the soldier described was a race they had never seen before. They were invaded by a strange race!
This is the clearest idea in Shi Lei's mind at this moment.
Following this preliminary conclusion, Shi Lei had more doubts, but he did not interrupt the soldier's narration. Instead, he remained patient and continued to listen.
"They appeared outside the city and launched an attack directly towards Plain City."
In the process of narrating, everything that happened at that time reappeared in my mind, as if it were right in front of me...
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"
Looking at the group of green-skinned creatures outside the city roaring and rushing towards Plain City, the soldiers of the Great Zhou standing on the watchtower on the wall rang the alarm bells and roared wildly.
The Great Zhou soldiers who stayed behind in Pingyuan City immediately entered combat status, climbed up to the top of the wall as quickly as possible, and looked outside.
"Fuck! What on earth are these people who are neither human nor ghost?!"
The ugly, burly and ferocious appearance of those green-skinned creatures really made them nervous.
"It is estimated that there are thousands of soldiers on the other side."
"Calm down. We have 500 soldiers stationed in the city. The city gates have been repaired. We should have no problem defending the city."
As they were talking, the green-skinned monsters outside the city had already approached to a certain distance. Following the order, the archers in the city immediately responded with a volley of shots.
However, their limited numbers make it difficult for archers to launch attacks on a large scale, which greatly reduces their threat.
The green monsters outside the city quickly rushed to the foot of the city. One of the particularly huge green monsters attracted their attention.
The monster's morphological features are basically the same as other green-skinned monsters, with the same green skin and the same turned-up canine teeth.
The difference is that he is bigger, fatter and stronger, probably about four to five meters tall, with a single horn on his bald head.
Looking down, he had very long arms that hung below his knees, and his broad, thick palms were holding a battering ram-like pillar, which he easily carried on his shoulders as he continued to move forward.
"Quick! Get the giant stone and wooden spear ready!"
“Smash it for me!!”
With an order, the huge stones and wooden spears that had been prepared long ago turned into the second round of offensive by the garrison troops, smashing hard at the green-skinned monster that had already walked to the foot of the city.
Faced with the attack, the green-skinned monster seemed to be aware of it. He swung the pillar in his hand with one hand and swept away all the huge stones and wooden beams that were falling towards him.
After that, the green monster did not stop its attack. The huge pillar seemed to be light as a feather in his hands. He aimed at the city gate and smashed it madly.
The terrifying force continued to crush down, and the city gate that had just been repaired soon couldn't bear the weight, and it collapsed to the ground with a loud bang!
