Chapter 394: Mainland
On this day, a military exercise was launched in Prairie Village, which was a test of their training results this winter.
The entire exercise process was to conduct hypothetical battles based on the intelligence they obtained about the large Lizardman army and to demonstrate their training results.
As the most important audience watching this exercise, Zhou Xu was undoubtedly present.
There are two areas where he focused his attention during this exercise.
The first place is the Elf Cavalry.
If Zhou Xu and his team were asked to train the ten new elven cavalrymen, it would definitely be a big and difficult problem, but if they fell into Silk's hands, it would be a different situation.
How far one can train depends entirely on Silk's determination.
So far, the performance seems to be quite good.
After undergoing military training, they feel like they have been reborn.
He was no longer as nonchalant as he was at the beginning. His expression became more resolute and his movements became more decisive.
After several actions, Zhou Xu, who was watching the ceremony, nodded with satisfaction.
And in another place are the cavalrymen's horses.
In the following battles, the cavalry is undoubtedly their key force, and the war horse is the most important symbol of the cavalry.
Before, they had limited war horses, and didn’t quite understand how to train or choose horses. Basically, they just wanted a horse they could ride.
This also led to the fact that the war horses of the previous cavalry were somewhat mixed in quality.
But the situation is different now. With Ma Guotao in charge of the stable, the selection, breeding and training of war horses have become more organized.
After the exercise, Zhou Xu turned around and looked for Ma Guotao.
"Your Majesty!"
During this period of time, watching the development and changes in Caoyuan Village and the growing size of the army, Ma Guotao's admiration for Zhou Xu grew day by day.
As for these time travelers, although Zhou Xu did not intend to get along too casually with them, he also did not intend to put on airs and appeared to be very approachable.
"You really didn't disappoint me. I am very satisfied with this batch of war horses, and the cavalrymen also responded well."
Judging from the performance of the cavalry in previous military exercises, it is not difficult to see their improvement.
In addition to the improvement in riding skills, the improvement in the quality of war horses is also visible to the naked eye.
Ma Guotao was very happy that his work was recognized and praised by Zhou Xu.
He also watched today's military exercise. In fact, he was still a little nervous before that.
After all, he was born in a peaceful era, so how could he raise war horses? But he would raise racehorses! Apart from racehorses that run short-distance races, those that run middle-distance and long-distance races have requirements for endurance, speed and explosive power.
Now it seems that this method is also applicable to war horses.
Having obtained a satisfactory result, Zhou Xu was naturally not stingy and gave two thousand coins as a reward with a wave of his hand.
Of course, this was not all given to Ma Guotao alone, but was a reward to the horse farm.
Although Ma Guotao made great contributions to the operation of the horse farm and the training of war horses during this period, he alone would not have been able to achieve such results without the hard work of his staff.
Ma Guotao was very clear about this, so he immediately distributed all the two thousand dollars to his subordinates.
During this period, Ma Guotao's abilities have already been recognized by the staff here, and now his actions have won him the hearts of the people.
From this point of view, Ma Guotao is still very good at dealing with people and is much more tactful than Wang Pengfei.
That kid is still at the initial stage of seeing results from participating in the Metamorphosis.
While Zhou Xu was visiting the horse farm and discussing the subsequent war horse training plan with Ma Guotao, a soldier came galloping back on horseback with the latest intelligence.
Zhou Xu frowned slightly after learning the information, and then without saying a word, he jumped on his horse and led the team towards the edge of the world.
They moved very efficiently, and as the distance between them continued to shorten, a black void gradually came into view at the end of Zhou Xu's vision.
During this period, they arranged a team to patrol and monitor this area. When they saw Zhou Xu coming, they hurried forward to greet him.
"Your Majesty!"
He didn't even feel like saying hello. After simply nodding at the soldier, Zhou Xu got straight to the point and asked...
"Where is that thing you saw?"
"My king, please follow me!"
After saying that, the soldier pulled the reins, led the way, and moved Zhou Xu towards the target location.
In fact, before they officially arrived, Zhou Xu had already noticed the continent that appeared in the void thanks to his excellent vision given by the Eye of Insight! Undoubtedly, that should be the world fragment that the grassland elves had mentioned before.
It was said at that time that the frequent appearance of energy channels at the edge of the world was because the two fragments of the world were approaching each other.
When the distance between the two world fragments is shortened to a certain extent, the energy contained in each other will begin to attract each other. After that, the closer the distance is, the higher the frequency of energy channels appearing.
At this moment, the continent that appeared in Zhou Xu's field of vision was most likely the fragment of the world where the lizardmen lived! Now, in Zhou Xu's eyes, this continent was only as big as a palm.
That's because this continent is still very far away from them now.
But from another perspective, the opposite continent, which was originally invisible, has now come to a position where it can be observed with the naked eye. This in itself shows that the distance between them is getting much closer!
【Eye of Insight! 】
Staring at the continent, Zhou Xu directly used the mantra to try to see what was going on.
However, at this distance, even the Eye of Insight cannot see the details of the opposite continent, and can only see some general outlines.
Zhou Xu did not dwell on this matter and quickly resolved the truth. He then turned to look at the team leader of the outpost.
"Think carefully, were all the energy channels that appeared before opened from this direction?"
Faced with this question from their king, the team leader was slightly stunned, and then quickly recalled.
“It seems to be true.”
Based on the previous information that "the closer the two continents are, the higher the frequency of the energy channel", it can be speculated that this so-called "energy channel" is most likely the energy that pulls the two world fragments closer to each other, and while pulling each other, it forms something similar to a "channel".
And where there is traction, there must be direction.
As long as they can determine this general direction, their alert range can be greatly narrowed.
