Chapter 534: God's Grace
During this period, the southern border of the Lizardmen...
Just as Li Ce expected, the cavalry team led by Zhou Chongshan arrived at the southern battlefield smoothly.
Traveling with them were some of the Lizardman troops that had previously stayed in the tribe's territory. With them leading the way, they could naturally avoid a lot of trouble at this moment.
Bolevin, who received the news, personally welcomed the troops led by Zhou Chongshan into their border camp.
This was not only because of Zhou Chongshan's identity, but also because he had witnessed the strength of this cavalry unit.
Considering the situation on the border, the arrival of this force is not enough for them to directly reverse the situation, but it can at least increase their hope of survival.
Just like that, some time passed quietly.
Although the Lizardmen have accepted the reality that they lost the blessing of their gods due to Soros's stupidity and have finally regained it, it still cannot change their panic caused by their weakness.
After following the instructions of their high priest and submitting to the Great Zhou, they did regain some blessings, but those blessings were too weak.
With this strength, they have no way of competing with those ratmen.
Although the lizard people believe in their creator, it does not mean that they can completely ignore the reality before them.
Especially when this reality will directly threaten their lives.
Faced with such a situation, even Bo Levin could do nothing.
Who says that their power is closely related to the existence of the Creator?
In the past, he could still use some powerful means to boost the morale of his own side while attacking the rat army, but now, he has no means at all.
Just as Bolevin was feeling so melancholy, a force suddenly descended from the void and landed on him.
At that moment, Bolevin clearly sensed something, and his expression quickly became pious.
That power was like a blessing, cleansing his body and invisibly improving his physical fitness, the entire improvement far exceeded before!
"Blessings from the Lord!"
When Bolevin realized what was happening, he shouted excitedly.
After bathing and receiving the blessing, he ran out of the tent with an excited look on his face.
At this moment, he didn't need to say much, the lizardmen scattered throughout the camp were all like him, with pious faces.
"It's my Lord, oh no! It's the King who sensed our sincerity in repentance, and that's why he gave us more power! With the King's grace, what do we, the mere ratmen, have to fear?!"
Hearing this, the lizardmen, who were already full of piety, immediately bowed down in worship. Unconsciously, the atmosphere of panic that permeated the camp dissipated a lot.
Zhou Xu, who was in the Great Zhou at the time, obviously didn't know that the upgrade operation he performed casually would produce such an effect by accident. After receiving the report from Wang Dachui of the Forging Department, he immediately rushed over to inspect the crystal iron weapons that had just been cast.
Waiting for the news here to be delivered to him is a matter for later.
Looking at the report written by Li Ce in his hand, Zhou Xu couldn't help but look worried.
Judging from the situation, it was really him who had deceived the Lizardman army, and it was a terrible mistake.
However, given the situation at the time, he could not have imagined that such a situation would occur once he entered the barrier.
Not to mention that the Lizardmen surrendered only after that. Before that, he and the Lizardmen were definitely enemies. Even if a large army of Lizardmen was killed by him, he would not have much of a thought.
But now that the Lizardmen have surrendered and become his subordinates, the disastrous defeat of the Lizardmen army is obviously not a good thing.
It's not about any emotional issues.
The lizards had just surrendered, so what feelings could he have towards them? Being able to treat them equally was already enough for him to be tolerant.
As for the current disastrous defeat of the Lizardman army, he is more worried about the heavy casualties of the garrison troops on the southern border, which may make them unable to stop the rat army and allow the rats to attack.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel even more melancholy.
I originally wanted to stay in Da Zhou for another month, but now it seems that's impossible.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu immediately gave the order...
"Pass the order on. I will lead the team to the front line when the next energy channel opens."
"yes!"
At the command, the attendant hurried away to pass on the message.
Even though the energy channel had just been opened, there were still eleven or twelve days before the next opening, but their king was going to the battle, so many things needed to be prepared in advance.
In addition, considering the instability of the opening time of the energy channel, their king often has to guard the garrison camp at the edge of the world on the tenth day.
Following this line of thought, they would have to set out from Black Moon Village on the ninth day, or even the eighth day, so they actually didn't have that much time.
As soon as he gave an order, many people and departments under him started to get busy, but Zhou Xu himself continued to do what he was supposed to do.
The last document in front of me talked about hard labor.
Since Shi Lei has been recruiting primitive tribes in the mountains, there are still quite a lot of hard laborers within their Great Zhou.
Under this premise, according to an arrangement Zhou Xu had made earlier, if the hard laborers had served honestly for a certain period of time, abided by their duties, worked actively, and made no mistakes during this period, they would have the opportunity to take the conscription test.
As long as they successfully pass the test and join the army, they can then offset their prison sentences by establishing military merits, thereby obtaining the status of official citizens of the Great Zhou more quickly.
It's the same this time. Now another group of hard laborers have met the basic requirements and can undergo conscription tests.
Considering the current situation, Zhou Xu certainly couldn't disagree, and he approved it directly with a stroke of his pen.
The work came to a temporary halt, and Zhou Xu stood up and inspected the situation in each department.
In the forging department, the craftsmen headed by Wang Dachui have been working in a rush since the successful development of the crystal iron weapons.
The purpose is to forge the most crystal iron weapons in the shortest possible time.
During this period, the presence of Lizardman craftsmen played a vital role. They took charge of all the polishing work, which greatly improved the work efficiency of the forging department.
So far, the number of crystal iron knives that have been forged has reached one thousand! In addition, there are two thousand crystal iron war spears! The war spears were cast considering the green lizard infantry on the lizard side who are good at using short spears.
Compared with the blue lizard sword and shield soldiers, the green lizard infantry are more numerous, so he naturally has to take care of the weapons of these soldiers.
