Chapter 556: Arrangement and mobilization
After Zhou Xu made simple arrangements for the development troops coming from the rear, only three days later, a small group of lizardmen led by Bo Lewen withdrew from the southern border to the tribe's land.
The ratmen in the south have not been eliminated yet, so the necessary precautions must be taken. However, Zhou Xu is obviously planning to make some new arrangements next. It is his intention to transfer Bolevin back.
Also returning with Bolavin were Zhou Chongshan, Drogo and others, as well as some Lizardman officers including Tash who had made certain contributions in previous battles.
When he came back this time, while paying homage to the great king, he also conferred titles on them.
Along the way, Tash's mood was quite complicated.
On the one hand, this incident happened quite suddenly, and on the other hand, he had never seen the existence of gods with his own eyes.
Now this opportunity can only be said to have come too suddenly, making Tash feel a little nervous.
After being summoned, they followed the attendants who led the way and slowly walked into the hall. This outer hall was originally where the high priest Bolevin received them, but now, it has undoubtedly become the residence of their king.
After entering the hall, he only took a glance at the figure sitting above from a considerable distance, and without even seeing it clearly, Tash felt his body trembling uncontrollably.
The instinct deep in his blood made him lower his head quickly. In just one glance, his entire back was soaked with cold sweat. His legs almost gave way and he fell to the ground.
After taking a few deep breaths, Tash, whose emotions had calmed down a little, secretly glanced at the high priest Bolevin, who was half a body length ahead of him.
Then they discovered that at this moment, even the high priest who was originally high and mighty, now lowered his head, looked at the ground and slowly walked in, not daring to look up and directly at the existence of their king.
Tash, who saw this scene, cursed himself inwardly for seeking his own death. At the same time, all the doubts in his heart were completely dispelled at that moment, and all turned into respect for their king.
"We greet the King!"
As they spoke, they all knelt down in unison towards Zhou Xu.
After Zhou Xu signaled them to skip the formalities, there was no need for him to say much, and Boleyn quickly began to report on the situation on the southern border.
As for the situation on the southern border, he already had a basic understanding of it from the report sent by Zhou Chongshan and others. Now he could choose to listen to Bo Levin's report or not.
However, Zhou Xu did not interrupt. While Bolevin was reporting, he glanced at another lizardman who was standing beside him with his head lowered.
This lizard man is huge and burly, and it is obvious at first glance that he is different from ordinary blue lizards.
[This should be the Tash mentioned in the report, right? ]
A thought flashed through his mind, and Zhou Xu directly activated the "Eye of Insight" to confirm the opponent's attribute panel.
Soon, Tash's attribute panel opened in front of him...
Name: Tash Gender: Male Age: 59 Race: Lizardman, Half-Dragonman Status: None
Mantra: None Talent: Prolonged Combat: Being able to persist long enough on the battlefield is often an advantage.
Bravery: ★★★ Intelligence: ★★
Spirit: ★★★ Stamina: ★★★☆
Command: ★★★ Judging from the distribution of the five-dimensional attributes and the innate abilities, it can only be said that Tash is indeed very suitable for fighting against the ratmen. It is no exaggeration to say that it is an all-round target.
Of course, leaving aside the opponent Ratman, the three-star bravery combined with the four-star endurance that may be achieved in the future, supplemented by the three-star spirit and command.
From Zhou Xu's perspective, its versatility is quite good and it can basically be used anywhere.
While he was thinking about this, Bo Levin below had almost finished his report.
“Well done.”
Upon seeing this, Zhou Xu gave a simple compliment and then started to reward him directly.
"Tash has made great contributions in leading the troops to kill the enemy this time. He will be promoted to lieutenant and rewarded with 2,000 coins."
"Bolewen has made great contributions in recruiting troops and commanding the southern border garrison to resist the invasion of the ratmen. He is promoted to captain, rewarded with 3,000 coins, and a piece of silk."
In terms of merit alone, considering the incorporation of the Lizardman troops, it is no exaggeration to say that Bolevin was the first to achieve this.
After all, the backbone of the force resisting the rat army is still composed of lizardmen.
Under this premise, considering the size of the Lizardmen, it doesn't make sense to only give Bolevin the rank of second lieutenant or first lieutenant, and the same goes for Tash.
So Zhou Xu was quite generous and directly appointed a captain and a lieutenant.
As for the remaining lizardmen, they were all given the rank of warrant lieutenant and rewarded with some money.
It is worth mentioning here that those who can come here to receive rewards are all those who have been awarded military ranks. They have made sufficient contributions to deserve this treatment.
As for those who have not made enough contributions and only have some monetary rewards, there is no need for him to reward them personally. The rewards will be calculated and distributed directly later.
"Bo Lewen, when you come back this time, you should stay in the back and assist in the development."
He was promoted to captain one moment and stripped of his military power the next. If it were someone else, he would definitely be dissatisfied.
However, as believers, the nature of Bo Levin and others is different.
In Bo Levin's view, it is a great honor to be able to stay with the gods.
He was disappointed because their king had asked Soros to stay by his side to assist him and sent him to the border to lead troops.
Now that their king had taken the initiative to ask him to stay behind to assist in development, he was so happy that he couldn't even wait to be dissatisfied. He even spoke with excitement.
"Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty! I will definitely do my best to assist you!"
Looking at Bolevin's passionate expression, Zhou Xu waved his hand.
"Well, you've all been exhausted from the journey, so go back and rest first."
After watching the lizardmen led by Bo Levin retreat, Zhou Xu's eyes fell on Li Ce and Soros who had been standing by the side the whole time.
"Li Ce."
When Zhou Xu called his name, Li Ce took a few quick steps forward.
"I'm here!"
"Li Ce, I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the southern border troops, replacing Bo Lewen's previous position. Go to the southern border immediately to take up the post."
"I obey your orders!"
“Soros.”
"I'm here!"
"Soros, you have been instrumental in assisting me during this period. I will grant you the rank of lieutenant and the deputy commander of the southern border troops. You will continue to assist Li Ce and lead the border troops!"
"I obey your orders!!"
Soros was very emotional when he shouted this. Although it was easy to stay behind and assist in development, it was really not a job he was good at.
Now that he has finally obtained military services from Zhou Xu, Soros is very excited.
And this was what Zhou Xu had planned from the beginning.
After all, judging from the ability to command troops alone, both Li Ce and Soros are more suitable candidates than Bo Levin.
The reason why Bo Levin was asked to take on the task was mainly because of Bo Levin's identity as the high priest, which would enable him to better recruit the Lizardman troops.
Now that the incorporation work has been completed, the southern border responsible for resisting the invasion of the rat army naturally needs to be replaced by a more suitable commander.
