Chapter 395 New Possibilities
In the current situation, he came here in person mainly to personally confirm the situation here, in order to avoid any ambiguity in the intelligence and cause any problems.
After completing the confirmation work, Zhou Xu continued to stay here. It was not a good idea to stare at the continent in the void.
After marking out the area and asking the sentries here to focus on defense, Zhou Xu turned back to the grassland village, called Wang Dong, and began to prepare the enchanted weapons.
Originally, Zhou Xu was planning to help share some of the burden of enchanting weapons, but now the situation has changed. The large army of Lizardmen may attack at any time.
As an important fighting force here, Zhou Xu must ensure his own condition so that he can respond to any outbreak of battle at any time.
After handing the matter over to Wang Dong, Zhou Xu turned around and called all the officers under his command to discuss the situation and the upcoming battle with the Lizardmen.
"According to the latest intelligence, the fragment of the world suspected to be where the lizardmen are is approaching us. According to the information provided by the grassland elves, the two fragments of the world will eventually merge into one."
Having said that, Zhou Xu glanced at Silk, an officer who was now in the conference room.
Sensing the gaze from their king, Silk nodded, agreeing with what had just been said.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu continued speaking.
"I originally speculated that the other world fragments were relatively far away from us, and at least they would not touch each other in the short term. But now it seems that there may be some problems with my speculation. Now the possibility of the two fragments touching each other has increased."
Zhou Xu paused for a moment.
"This situation has given rise to new possibilities. Our previous tactics were based on the Lizardmen arriving here through the energy channel, but now we have to change our perspective."
"What if the Lizardmen have enough patience and wait until the two worlds are completely connected before launching an attack on us?"
The suggestion of this possibility made all the officers below frown.
They all realized that this would be a very bad situation for them.
Because of the bordering of the land, it means that they will face an all-round invasion from the Lizardmen next!
They now need more detailed plans around this possibility.
During this process, the battle deployment at the edge of the world was also proceeding in a hurry.
In this way, half a month passed quietly, and the continued rise in temperature made them realize that early spring had arrived.
According to the latest observations, the size of the opposite continent in their field of vision has changed from the size of a palm to the size of a basketball.
This is enough to prove that Zhou Xu's previous speculation was basically correct.
The continent opposite was indeed approaching them.
At the same time, somewhere on the edge of the world, an energy channel slowly took shape.
At first there was only an inconspicuous little dot, it twisted and rotated, and in a blink of an eye it opened up into a fist-sized hole, and it was still expanding.
The border patrol team, which had increased its patrol intensity, discovered the abnormality here at the first time, and immediately hurriedly took off the horn hanging around their waists and blew a specific signal to inform their comrades around them that an energy channel was opening here.
The sound of horse hooves rang out, and after hearing the horn, the surrounding cavalry gathered together as quickly as possible, followed by a carriage, which was dragging nothing but a three-bow crossbow!
Observing the position where the energy channel opened, the eight soldiers who were standard equipment for this three-bow crossbow calculated the position as quickly as possible and set up the three-bow crossbow.
This was a plan that Zhou Xu had confirmed and arranged as early as after the first three-bow crossbow was built.
According to his plan, if any lizardmen tried to kill them through this energy channel, they would directly use the three-bow crossbow to attack the exit of the energy channel! Just like he had launched a flying stone attack on the lizardmen in the energy channel before, the opponent had no way to avoid the limited space inside the energy channel and could only resist their attack. This was a perfect opportunity for them to cause casualties to the lizardmen.
From the time the plan was confirmed until now, they have set up similar arrangements many times, but none of them have been carried out smoothly. Basically, every time they waited in vain, and no Lizardmen came at all.
But the soldiers did not dare to be careless, because they knew that this was a battle that could not afford to make any mistakes. Once a mistake was made, they would probably pay with their lives.
During this process, the soldier responsible for watching the inside of the energy channel suddenly discovered movement coming from the channel.
The next second, one by one, the horn sound with obvious urgency quickly spread throughout the entire area.
Li Ce and Zhou Chongshan, who were in the front-line camp at the time, also changed their expressions after hearing the horn.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"
"All soldiers, listen up! Urgent attack! Urgent attack!!"
While shouting, Li Ce and Zhou Chongshan had already rushed to their war horses and mounted them.
Zhou Xu's large army had already arrived here a long time ago. Looking at the situation here, it was clear that Zhou Xu did not intend to let the lizardmen on the opposite side get by too easily.
"Pass the order down, have the sixth and seventh teams continue patrolling, and pay attention to whether there are other energy channels open in the area. The rest of the teams, follow me!!"
Throughout the winter, Zhou Xu continued to incorporate other primitive tribes and then levy troops, not to mention other troops, just the cavalry.
Now Zhou Xu has seven squads of human cavalry under his command, each squad has ten riders, for a total of seventy riders!
Under this premise, with the addition of twenty elven knights and five centaurs, plus the number of officers in command, the total strength of the cavalry can basically reach a scale of nearly a hundred cavalrymen, which was unthinkable before.
On this side, the cavalry troops were dispatched urgently.
At the same time, outside the energy channel on the other side, the moment the soldier discovered the existence of the Lizardman, he blew the horn and quickly dodged to the side.
Seeing this, the crossbow soldiers in the rear who were responsible for operating the three-bow crossbow quickly carried a giant crossbow arrow and placed it on the three-bow crossbow that had already been pulled open.
All preparations were complete, and with that shout of "Release!"
A giant crossbow arrow shot out!
They cannot see what is happening inside the energy channel, and they don't need to see it.
The limited space in the energy channel provides them with an advantageous environment where they don't have to worry about anything. They just need to shoot the largest number of giant crossbows into the energy channel as quickly as possible to attack the opponent's manpower!
