Chapter 1075: Troop Arrangement
Li Ce had obviously long been accustomed to their Majesty's frequent transfers of his position.
From another perspective, doesn't this just show how much their majesty values them? Looking around, other generals in their Great Zhou don't have this treatment.
Although the days of leisure were comfortable, he had no military achievements to show for himself. When he was first transferred to the New South District, he was the only colonel in their Great Zhou.
And now, there is more than one major general.
Therefore, Li Ce showed great enthusiasm for this job transfer.
The New South District itself still needed some troops to garrison, so the veterans that Li Ce brought with him were only one thousand, plus the two thousand new recruits that he had first recruited when he issued the conscription order in Black Moon City, so the total force was three thousand! In terms of the number of troops, there was no doubt that there were more, but this was obviously not enough to make Zhou Xu feel relaxed.
Considering the combat power alone, human soldiers, especially recruits, would hardly be able to defeat the two thousand lizardmen troops that Bolevin brought over.
The only thing to be thankful for during this period was that among the one thousand veterans transferred from the New South District, there were three hundred Centaur cavalry.
Unlike the slow-growing elves, the Centaurs' reproduction efficiency is relatively fast, and Centaurs are considered adults at the age of ten.
After recruiting Centaur mercenaries and increasing the population base of the tribe in the early years, the comfortable life in recent years has also allowed the Centaurs to focus on increasing the population and expanding the size of the tribe.
Not counting the elderly, the weak, women and children in the tribe, the size of the Centaur cavalry has expanded to five hundred people just counting the adult combat forces.
However, this time, Li Ce did not bring all of them here. After all, they also had to consider the safety of the New Taipei District.
So he asked Drogo, his deputy general, to lead two hundred Centaur cavalry and the remaining garrison troops to continue to stay in the New South District. By then, if any situation occurred in the New North District, they would be able to provide timely support.
After listening to Li Ce's report, Zhou Xu expressed his approval of his arrangements.
Although a major war has broken out in the Northeast, the New North battlefield, which was also invaded by the greenskin troops, cannot relax.
Zhou Xu didn't want something to go wrong before he finished working on this side.
However, compared with the current Northeast region, the situation in the New Taipei City is relatively stable.
After all, if the greenskin troops want to invade that area, they will inevitably have to break into the territory of the Copperforge dwarves, and those dwarves will not allow the greenskins to do whatever they want behind them.
Under this premise, the New North District is now equipped with a crossbow force of sufficient size. Shi Lei has rich experience in dealing with greenskin troops and can basically handle normal defensive battles.
After confirming the troop composition on the northeastern front after the handover, Zhou Xu began to talk to Li Ce about the previous war.
When Li Ce learned that a Vajra Realm warrior had appeared in the greenskin army for the first time, his expression quickly became solemn.
Obviously, he realized that this was not an easy job.
After talking about how they took a lot of effort to successfully force the enemy back and even cut off one of its arms, Zhou Xu couldn't help but sound a little relieved.
In that battle, in addition to the timely response of a group of high-end combat forces, there was another thing that played a major role, and that was the only red-flame sword in their Great Zhou at this stage!
Zhou Xu also pondered for a while before setting off from the canyon camp.
In terms of condition, Zhou Chongshan is better, but in terms of the lethality that can be burst out to the limit, Jie Liancheng is undoubtedly better.
After weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Xu decided to give the Red Flame Sword to Jie Liancheng, the strongest one.
As it turned out, his judgment at that time was not wrong.
If it weren't for Jie Liancheng's sword, the Qi shield of the Vajra Realm warrior would not have been broken, and the situation would have been unpredictable.
Of course, now whether it is Jie Liancheng or Zhou Chongshan, after Li Ce led his troops to arrive, Zhou Xu felt that they should all go to the back to rest.
There was no choice before. Under normal circumstances, Zhou Xu was not inclined to let his capable generals fight with injuries, mainly because he was afraid that they would suffer more injuries and accidentally leave some incurable hidden injuries, which would affect their future growth ceiling.
After briefly analyzing the previous battle, Zhou Xu originally wanted to discuss the subsequent tactical planning with Li Ce. However, the next second, a sharp pain in his brain made him realize that he should rest.
Although his brain was able to work a little better after a period of rest, he still couldn't avoid the headache after working a few more times.
After understanding the situation, Li Ce hurriedly took his leave, not daring to disturb their majesty's rest.
Although he had just woken up three hours ago, Zhou Xu lay back on his bed quite swiftly, adjusted himself into a comfortable position, and closed his eyes.
The severe consumption of mental energy always makes him fall asleep quickly.
In a daze, half asleep and half awake, Zhou Xu felt his consciousness beginning to sink.
When I came to my senses, I found myself in the spiritual space after a long time.
He hasn't been here for a long time. After all, entering the spiritual space still requires some mental strength.
He lowered his head and looked below him. The water surface that was as clear as a mirror had now completely disappeared.
At this moment, his spiritual space looked like a dried-up pond. Many places were even cracked, and a few small puddles could occasionally be seen at the bottom. This should be the true reflection of his current mental state.
Zhou Xu had never seen so intuitively the state of his spiritual space after his mantra power was severely consumed.
After all, Zhou Xu knew that severe consumption would drag him into a negative state, and that he would need to spend more time to recover, so he always consciously avoided over-consumption.
However, this time he was facing a green-skinned man at the Vajra Realm, forcing him to use all his strength and not dare to hold back at all.
This is how the scene before our eyes came about.
Now that he had entered the spiritual space, with a "since I'm here" mentality, Zhou Xu simply sat cross-legged at the bottom of the pond and began to meditate.
In the past two days, he has begun to slowly try meditation.
Of course, it is only for a short time, no longer than thirty minutes, and then he has to rest.
For the next week, Zhou Xu basically maintained this state. As the meditation time gradually increased, the small puddle at the bottom of the pond began to expand little by little, symbolizing that his severely depleted mental strength was slowly recovering.
