Chapter 860 Delayed Information (Part 2)
After Silk went out to do some work, a pigeon message arrived from Green Forest City.
After confirming the contents of the letter, Zhou Xu learned that Drogo and his men had successfully recruited the Centaur captives. This should have been a good thing, but at this moment Zhou Xu couldn't be happy at all.
Green-skinned creatures appeared in the New North District and captured Plain City. If Drogo and his men were still in the New North District, they would definitely be able to play an important role in the battle.
However, the Centaurs led by Drogo rushed back without stopping because of his order.
When he thought of this, Zhou Xu's blood pressure rose.
Indeed, unless he could predict the future, no one could anticipate such an unexpected situation, but this did not affect Zhou Xu's irritable mood at all.
After letting out a long breath, Zhou Xu adjusted his mood, then sat back down at his desk and started writing another letter.
"Send this directly by carrier pigeon to Greenwood City, to Colonel Drogo."
"yes!"
Thinking optimistically, it was a good thing that Drogo returned to the New South District first and recruited the Centaur prisoners. At least now they could directly mobilize that batch of Centaur combat forces.
According to the current situation, let Zhuogo follow Li Ce to Anling City and wait for orders.
For follow-up actions, we have to wait for the messenger to arrive and get more details, and also wait for the reply from the wood elves.
The delay in intelligence has already added a lot of uncertainty to this matter. If he makes large-scale adjustments without understanding anything now, it will only make more mistakes. He needs to remain patient.
At the same time, the elven knight who received the warrant rode at full speed and arrived at the wood elf village as quickly as possible, and met the wood elf leader Locke.
"Green-skinned creature..."
The intelligence brought by the Elf Knight this time can only be said to be too general. Apart from these four words, there is no more information. This made Locke a little confused for a moment.
"I don't have any idea about this green-skinned creature for now. There is no problem with the aid, but the young and strong people in our tribe are basically working in Green Forest City. I'm afraid I have to go to Green Forest City to gather the tribesmen."
Speaking of the latter part, Locke felt a little melancholy.
Those bastards forgot where their home was after they entered the city. They haven't come back for several months.
Locke had never felt that these few months were long before. For the elves, this amount of time was just a blink of an eye. But since all the young people in the village went out to work, Locke was thinking about those brats every day. These few months really felt a bit long.
On the contrary, those brats looked like they had escaped from death, and it was difficult to see them now.
It was during this period that the messenger carrying urgent military information finally arrived in Xianyang.
Opening the urgent military report written by Shi Lei, Zhou Xu's face was obviously uncertain.
The whole situation was far worse than he had expected. Those green-skinned creatures broke through the Plain City almost in a crushing manner.
Although there were only 500 garrison troops in Plain City at that time, and most of them were new recruits, but from the specific description, it was not difficult for Zhou Xu to feel the power of the green-skinned creature. It was not a special race that could be measured by common sense!
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Xu continued to look down.
In the current situation, the most critical person is actually Shi Lei.
After all, he is the only one who understands the whole situation and can respond in time at this stage.
At the same time, Shi Lei could not be unaware of the lag in intelligence transmission between the two places. For this reason, he had to make a whole plan in advance and let the messenger bring back the plan.
Only in this way could Zhou Xu, who was in the rear, understand his ideas, make arrangements around his plan, and cooperate with him.
Just as Zhou Xu thought, at the end of the report, Shi Lei wrote out his entire plan and ideas.
From transferring the population to Anling City, to preparing to abandon the entire Xinbei District and retreat, to the entire offensive strategy, Zhou Xu's heart slowly calmed down as he gradually gained a deeper understanding of Shi Lei's entire plan.
I have to say that Shi Lei is still prudent in his work.
Even if we lose the territory, we can still fight for it later. What’s important is the population, and population means the power for development!
This time, as long as the population of New Taipei City can be successfully transferred here, Zhou Xu would not be unable to accept directly giving up New Taipei City.
And now, what he needs to do is to send out a troop first, to take over the population of New Taipei City, while being ready to receive the withdrawing large troop at any time.
On this premise, another team was sent to confirm the situation on the front line in order to carry out subsequent deployment.
After sorting out his thoughts, Zhou Xu quickly issued the follow-up orders.
At the same time, in Green Forest City...
Because of the request for help from the Great Zhou, and the need to gather the tribesmen, Locke followed the elf knight and the diplomat directly to Green Forest City.
According to the current season, the temperature has become quite cold after dark, so Locke covered himself with the quilt and went to bed early.
Just when he was about to fall asleep, Locke suddenly remembered something and opened his eyes abruptly.
"Oh my gosh! Green-skinned creatures! I seemed to have heard this somewhere before. Now I remember it!"
Although the elves are naturally casual, Locke obviously knew that this matter was urgent. After he thought of it, he did not dare to be vague and immediately ran to contact the elven knights and diplomats during the day.
"I remember that when I was little, my grandfather told me a story about a race called 'Greenskins'!"
When Locke was a child? That must have happened hundreds of years ago. No wonder he couldn't remember it right away.
Upon hearing that, the Elf Knight quickly became serious.
Because he knew that the way the elves told stories was different from that of humans. In fact, the stories they told were closer to telling history and were about the historical events centered around their own ethnic group.
"After all, this matter has been going on for too long, so I'll just talk about whatever comes to mind."
After all, this happened hundreds of years ago. Although Locke remembered this incident, he could not guarantee how clearly he remembered it.
"The greenskins first appeared during the great war of the old civilization. Just like their name, their skin is all green."
"They have a very special method called the 'WAAAGH!!! stance'. They will make a 'WAAAGH!!!' cry, but this is not just a simple cry, but a very special mantra method that is stimulated by this roar."
Having said that, Locke's face showed distress.
"The effect and mechanism of this method are very complex. To put it simply, it can comprehensively enhance the strength of the greenskins."
Later, Locke tried to give a more specific explanation of this "WAAAGH!!! Position", but found that he really didn't know much, and what he knew was very limited, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
By the end, even the elven knights and diplomats were confused.
But no matter what, they still recorded all the information provided by Locke, and then sent it to their Majesty as quickly as possible.
