Chapter 482: Action Arriving
at the temple, the high priest did not waste time with Soros and directly informed him of the latest situation on the battlefield in the south.
The moment Soros learned that there was news coming from the battlefield in the south, even before the high priest explained in detail, he had a rough idea in his mind. The pressure was 100% on his side.
Sure enough, after listening to the situation, the high priest asked Soros what he thought.
He said he was asking, but judging from the situation, he had no choice.
After all, from the perspective of the high priest, who is the easier target, the rat people or the Great Zhou? Soros didn't believe that the other side hadn't thought of this step. He could only say that the commander of the other side had a good trick and took advantage of the situation to control them.
After leaving the temple, Soros looked very unhappy the whole time.
As the commander of this battlefield, it is really difficult for him to be happy now.
It's not that he can't understand the situation on the southern battlefield, and he also knows that the high priest will definitely give priority to the southern battlefield compared to this side. After all, to them, the ratmen are stronger and pose a greater threat, so he can only make a compromise.
The high priest did not choose to transfer the troops directly, but wanted him to command the troops to launch an offensive and defeat the troops of Da Zhou, so that they would no longer have to worry about the threat from Da Zhou in the future, and could better focus their attention and manpower on the battle with the ratmen.
But to be honest, in Soros's opinion, the high priest might as well just transfer the troops away.
In this way, he could naturally continue to guard the rainforest line of defense and maintain his stable state of passive defense.
Unfortunately, the high priest did not have this idea. He did not want to keep this time bomb lingering within their territory, so the pressure fell on Soros.
With a sullen face, Soros returned to the front-line camp, called Gruul over and told him about this.
After all, if they were to take the initiative, he would definitely need Gruul to lead the charge.
Gruul walked over and knew what was going on as soon as he saw Soros' expression.
Even Soros, a guy who usually doesn't show his emotions, can't hold it anymore, so that must be bad news.
Considering their current situation, there are only a few possibilities.
Upon hearing it, it turned out to be true.
Although Gruul does not have a great tactical mind, he is definitely not a foolish and reckless man.
Even though he didn't admit it, he knew in his heart that if he were on the plain battlefield, he would most likely not be a match for the human general.
In fact, when he was fighting with the opponent in the rainforest defense line before, he just felt that he was fighting with the opponent more easily, but he did not have much advantage.
This also made Gruul further aware of the gap in strength between himself and his opponent.
Soros did not ask Gruul whether he could defeat the other general. Instead, after calming down his bad mood, he directly talked to Gruul about the next tactics.
"In short, I need you to avoid direct confrontation with the opposing generals and use your strength to strangle the opposing soldiers."
At that time, when the two sides were fighting on the rainforest defense line, Soros was hiding in the dark and saw everything clearly. He was already clear about the difference in strength between Gruul and Zhou Chongshan.
So at this moment, he directly avoided the question.
But to be honest, Soros really couldn't understand how a mere human could be so strong. However, Soros didn't dwell on the fact that was already in front of him. If he couldn't beat him, he could just avoid him.
War essentially relies on military strength! "We have the advantage in the number of soldiers. As long as we kill the enemy's main force, it will be useless even if the remaining few generals are strong."
Listening to Soros's tactical arrangements, Gruul just nodded silently, and did not mention going to fight Zhou Chongshan to the death. He was indeed not stupid...
After quickly discussing some tactical arrangements with Gruul, Soros, as the commander, still needed to make some preparations for the upcoming battle, so he obviously still had a lot of work to do.
Although the high priest did not urge him to take action immediately, he would definitely not allow him to procrastinate for ten days or half a month. Five to seven days at most was the limit.
In fact, Soros had no intention of delaying.
If they had to fight anyway, then in the previous attack, many soldiers on the other side had suffered casualties and poisoning. It would obviously be more advantageous for them to launch the action while the enemy had not fully recovered.
With this mentality, Soros spent two days quickly preparing for the war, and then launched the action the next night! Under the cover of night, urgent alarms rang throughout the camp.
"These stinky lizards really know how to pick the right time!"
Because the Centaurs have night vision, most of the guard and patrol tasks after nightfall fall on them.
Now noticing the opponent's actions, Diak, who happened to be on night duty, quickly ordered his men to blow the alarm.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"
At the sound of the horn, the soldiers in the tent were awakened one after another, and then they immediately put on their armor and went out without saying a word.
At the same time, the camp, which already had fire pots lit everywhere, was completely illuminated by more torches!
If they want to fight at night, human soldiers like them must use firelight to provide vision, otherwise they are basically blind and cannot see the enemy's movements at all.
Zhou Xu was also awakened by the sound of the horn. Inside the main tent, he opened his eyes and behaved very calmly.
[It seems that the ratmen have already taken action, otherwise the lizardmen would not have given up such a huge home advantage and rushed to attack.]
Under this premise, the other party's choice to move out at night was not beyond Zhou Xu's expectations.
People have the advantage of night vision, so they naturally want to make use of it.
"Pass the order down, have Drogo and the Centaurs contain the large Lizardmen night attack force and cover our main force's retreat."
Having said that, Zhou Xu turned his head and glanced at Qiansui who was doing stretching exercises there.
"Chitose, go and help as well."
Hearing this, Qiansui, who had just finished stretching, didn't waste any words and rushed out with a "wow", disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.
If the enemy chooses to launch a night attack, it will be impossible for Zhou Xu to fight the enemy in the front-line camp.
The garrison camp in the rear has more complete defense facilities, and by pulling the battle line, it can also slow down the opponent's offensive rhythm to a certain extent and kill some time.
The longer they delayed, the closer they were to dawn.
