Chapter 449 Say it again? !
Compared to the time when I was cleaning, moving things and doing odd jobs in Tieshan Village, being Zhou Xu's assistant here is undoubtedly much easier in terms of physical energy consumption.
But mentally speaking, Wang Pengfei undoubtedly felt more tired.
Although he often used Zhou Xu as an excuse to brag to other villagers in private, when he really met his fellow villager, he suddenly became timid and couldn't help feeling nervous and panic.
As a virtual laning master whose main battle area is concentrated on the Internet, Wang Pengfei tends to be timid and cowardly in the real world where the opponent can gank him at any time.
Under this premise, according to Zhou Xu's status here, a single sentence could easily decide his life or death. Facing such a Zhou Xu, he couldn't help but be nervous and terrified.
Although in his daily work, Zhou Xu never showed any bad side and could even be said to be easy-going.
But recently, Wang Pengfei still had a feeling of "living with the king is like living with a tiger". He was trembling with fear all day long, fearing that he would say something wrong and bring disaster upon himself.
This is somewhat a case of paranoia, or perhaps an excess of self-awareness.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Zhou Xu transferred him over to serve as his assistant was that he could read and occasionally, he could use the miscellaneous knowledge he had acquired during the confrontation in some matters.
Other than that, he had no idea.
It was the same now. After saying this casually, Zhou Xu's attention shifted to the document in front of him, and he didn't care at all about what Wang Pengfei was nervous about.
It has been only a little over a month since the new recruits were sent there for training.
For the Lizardmen, who have lived in a complex environment like the rainforest since birth, sending mountain soldiers who have only received this level of training would be tantamount to sending them to their deaths.
Instead of rushing them to die there, Zhou Xu would rather remain patient and wait a little longer.
As long as the ratmen and lizardmen on the opposite continent are still fighting, he can afford to wait.
Of course, considering the possibility of an emergency, Shi Lei had already transferred the existing mountain soldiers under his command and had them follow the previous logistics troops.
With this kind of fighting power, I believe that if there is any emergency that forces them to fight in a rainforest environment, Li Ce and his men will not be completely powerless to fight back.
At the same time, at the front-line camp, the mountain soldiers drawn from Shi Lei's command, totaling thirty people, have now officially reported to Li Ce.
Don't underestimate these thirty people, they are all rattan armor soldiers, the elite troops under Shi Lei. Just talking about their combat effectiveness in a complex environment like the mountains and forests, they are completely capable of crushing the rattan armor soldiers on the grassland.
Next, if they need to take the initiative to attack the rainforest environment, then these thirty rattan armor soldiers trained in the mountains will definitely be their core force.
During this period, among the supplies delivered, there were also a large number of sword and shield equipment. There is no doubt that this was a preparation for later actions.
Li Tie, who noticed this while moving supplies and sorting them out, undoubtedly realized something.
After completing the work here, he found an opportunity and asked to meet Li Ce directly.
"I am Li Tie, the captain of the seventh squad of rattan armor soldiers, reporting to the lieutenant!"
Li Ce undoubtedly has an impression of Li Tie.
He was able to keep up with the training intensity of the Rattan Armor Soldiers in such a short period of time, and even surpassed some of the internal veterans to become a squad leader.
His performance was outstanding enough that Li Ce couldn't help but notice it.
However, Li Ce will not give special treatment to Li Tie because of this, but will continue to maintain his equal attitude.
"What's up?"
"Reporting to the lieutenant, I am here to apply to join the next battle."
Li Tie didn't hesitate at all and directly stated his purpose right away.
When Li Ce heard this, his expression did not change much, and his tone was as calm as ever.
"The next battle? What battle?"
"I have seen the sword and shield equipment sent over, as well as the mountain soldiers transferred from Tieshan Village. I am also a mountain dweller, and I am also good at fighting in mountainous environments. If you need to go deep into the rainforest environment to carry out a mission, I will apply to join!"
It's not hard to see this. The weapons and equipment and the rainforest are right there. Who can't see it? But Li Tie is the first one who has the courage to come to him and make a request.
People like Li Tie, who were recruited by them and then obtained formal citizenship, mostly showed two kinds of performance.
One is to indulge in a life that is much better than the original one and be content with the status quo.
The other type, after witnessing the development and life of the Great Zhou, began to pursue a better life for themselves.
Li Tie, who is eager to make a contribution, undoubtedly belongs to the latter.
Li Ce didn't hate this.
After all, this is also a kind of ambition. If everyone is content with the status quo and does not want to improve, how can they make progress?
But at this time, Li Ce obviously did not intend to give Li Tie a clear answer. He just looked at him twice and said lightly.
"Go down."
“…”
This answer made Li Tie confused. He didn't get the desired result, which made Li Tie feel a little depressed.
Li Tie, who had received a long period of military training, naturally knew that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, obeying orders was a soldier's duty, and any soldier who violated this iron rule would be punished. Naturally, he had no intention of asking Li Ce for punishment at this moment.
In this case, he could only say "yes" sullenly and step back.
At the same time, inside the Lizardman’s temple, the latest intelligence sent back from the southern front made the high priest suddenly stunned.
"What? Say that again?!"
The lizardmen below, who had just reported the situation on the front line, had never seen their high priest behave so out of control, and were really shocked.
But he quickly came to his senses and gritted his teeth to repeat what happened on the front line.
"Reporting to the high priest, the centaurs suddenly appeared on the battlefield in the south where we were fighting the ratmen. They were running around the periphery of the battlefield, shouting that we were attacked by another force from behind..."
Before the lizardman could finish his words, he heard a "clang!" sound, and the high priest smashed the metal vessel in his hand, which was handed down from the old civilization era, to the ground! The exquisite cup made by the old civilization technology was one of the high priest's favorite utensils. He usually treasured it when drinking water.
Now that this treasure had been smashed to the ground, it was not difficult to see how bad the high priest's mood had become.
