Chapter 530 It's Not Easy to Get Military Rations
In the following period of time, in order to master the inherited skills of their Centaur tribe, Drogo went to Diak and his friends every day.
It was a new day. Seeing Drogo and his friends having a full breakfast and coming to learn skills in high spirits, Diak couldn't help but ask...
"So, how is the king doing lately?"
Faced with Diack's nonsensical question, Drogo looked puzzled.
"It's fine, isn't it? The king is always busy with affairs, and I haven't seen him for a while. Chief Diak, is there something you want to talk to our king about?"
"Um, this is nothing. Didn't we say we were going to deal with the ratmen? When are we going to set off? I have to make some preparations in advance, right?"
"There are still a few days until the energy channel opens. Even if we want to set off, we have to wait until the energy channel opens."
At this point, Drogo paused.
"But the king didn't say that he would turn back when the energy channel opens. After all, he has been on the front line for quite some time, and there are many things in the rear that need the king to deal with. This time, he will most likely stay in the rear for a while longer and wait for the next energy channel."
“Oh, I see.”
Drogo's words really left Diak speechless.
It's really not easy to get some military rations.
At the same time, after Zhou Xu had simply finished his work in Grassland Village, he quickly returned to Black Moon Village.
After all, this is the core of their Great Zhou. All important departments gather here, and there are more daily affairs.
Just like Drogo said, he had been at the front line for some time. This time when he came back, he didn't plan to stay for just a few days, as there were many things waiting for him to make decisions here.
When he was at the front line, there were some things in the rear that they couldn't decide on their own, so they could only wait for the energy channel to be opened and send the messenger over.
After Zhou Xu confirmed the content and made a decision, he had to wait for the next energy channel to open before he could send it back.
More than half a month had passed in this back and forth process, and the efficiency of information transmission was extremely low, which greatly slowed down their internal operating efficiency.
Now that Zhou Xu is back and personally in charge of the center, all measures and orders can be issued in a timely manner. Even if any emergency occurs, they can respond immediately. The operating efficiency within their Great Zhou will naturally improve accordingly.
Having just reviewed the report sent in this morning, Zhou Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the literacy of these important subordinates of his has really improved a lot, and his report is also becoming more and more fluent.
In the past, when he looked at a page full of pinyin, typos, and some sentence problems, he might have to figure out what it meant, and it would take a lot of time to add up all the pieces. Now he doesn't need to do that.
Zhou Xu stretched his body vigorously, and after temporarily finishing the work at hand, he slowly walked to the bamboo pavilion outside, sat down and basked in the sun. This was his old hobby before he traveled through time.
The sunshine in this winter was quite comfortable, but he didn't plan to just sit there and stare blankly, so he casually opened the Dragon Lord class panel.
During this period of time, his mantra power has recovered a lot. Considering the urgent need for combat power of the lizardmen on the front line, Zhou Xu thinks it would be better for him to upgrade more strengthening items according to the time.
Maintaining the previously determined upgrade ideas, he decided to continue upgrading the 'Lizardman Comprehensive Enhancement'.
This time, the system did not remind him of the risks. As the power of mantra in his body was consumed in large quantities, the project was officially upgraded to level three.
Lizardman Comprehensive Enhancement (Passive) (Level 3): The Lizardmen under your command gain your ability and their overall physical fitness is greatly improved.
A small improvement turned directly into a big improvement, and the mere sight of it made people feel good.
At the same time, with the unlocking of the third-level project, three branch lines slowly extended from this basic project, and Zhou Xu introduced three new extended projects.
The three items are 'Lizardman Strength Enhancement', 'Lizardman Speed Enhancement' and 'Lizardman Endurance Enhancement'.
There is no doubt that these three projects are still typical passive projects, and the strengthened content can be said to be very clear.
According to Zhou Xu's understanding, comprehensive enhancement is just a foundation. When the attributes themselves are not high, even if it is upgraded to the third level of enhancement and the comprehensive attributes are greatly improved, the actual strength that can be displayed is estimated to be limited. To round it off, to put it bluntly, it is just a round of physical fitness.
But on the basis of this comprehensive enhancement, if additional enhancement items can be obtained, then his enhancement bonus will become higher and higher. The larger the base number, the greater the improvement.
After taking a quick look at these three projects, Zhou Xu picked one at random and tried to upgrade it.
Not surprisingly, the system reminded him that the risk was too great.
Comparing the level of risk warning, if it is "too big", generally speaking, he will take seven or eight days to recover.
During this period, the energy channel was opened again. Zhou Xu had no plans to leave. It was not difficult to see from the report sent back by Li Ce that everything was normal on the front line during his absence.
Eight days later, the system's risk alert was offline just as he expected.
Among these three clearly targeted strengthening projects, Zhou Xu chose to upgrade the 'Lizardman Endurance Enhancement' to level one, gaining a slightly enhanced endurance effect.
He must have given serious consideration before making this decision.
Judging from the front-line intelligence previously provided by Soros, the core force of the ratmen is composed of ratmen slave soldiers who are not very strong, or even have very poor strength. These slave soldiers are very fragile, and under normal circumstances, the Lizardmen soldiers can easily kill them.
But the problem is that there are too many slave soldiers, and it can even be said that they are endless.
This resulted in them suffering crazy losses from these slave soldiers in every battle.
Later on, even if they were able to wipe out all the rat slave soldiers, their condition would decline due to lack of physical strength when facing the regular rat troops.
In the end, they will either retreat or fail to defeat the opponent and have to give up hastily.
And this is exactly the core tactic of the ratmen! It is to fight with them to consume their manpower and physical strength.
From this point of view, strengthening the stamina of the Lizardmen can be considered as the right remedy.
He simply completed the upgrade operation of the strengthening project, but the price was that all the mantra power he had recovered in the past few days left him, and he even lost a lot of it.
The total consumption was greater than he expected, forcing Zhou Xu to lie down and rest for a while.
[This upgrade point project is really becoming more and more difficult. 】
Zhou Xu was just thinking about this when the voice of a servant came from outside.
"Your Majesty, Deputy Minister Wang from the Forging Department sent someone to deliver a message saying that the first official sample of the new metal weapon you asked him to develop has been completed."
