Chapter 576 Mobilization and Response
Due to the distance from the mountains to the grasslands, and the fact that the energy channel does not wait for time, by the time Zhou Xu, who was in the New World Temple, received this news, it was already a month later.
After discovering the void area at the end of the grassland and learning that the world they were in was actually just a small fragment formed after the collapse of the original world, Zhou Xu was mentally prepared for this.
Now, he did not feel any surprise about Shi Lei's latest discovery in the mountains. Instead, he felt a little pressured.
Because to him, this represents the unknown, and unknown things carry potential risks.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu directly ordered Bo Levin to be called over.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
"No need to be polite."
While speaking, Zhou Xu's eyes fell on Bo Levin.
It has become Zhou Xu's habit to call Boleven over whenever he has something to do and observe how he is doing with his weight loss.
Bolevin basically knew what was going on, and now that he felt the gaze of their king, his body unconsciously tensed up.
The process of losing weight was painful at first, but as his weight continued to decrease, his body gradually became lighter, making Bo Levin feel as if he had suddenly become 20 or 30 years younger. This long-lost feeling made him ecstatic, and he began to work harder to lose weight.
But this kind of thing also has a bottleneck. In the past two months, Boleven has undoubtedly hit a bottleneck. No matter how hard he tries, there is no obvious change in his body shape.
Zhou Xu naturally saw it, but didn't say anything. He had already shared all his weight loss tips with Bo Levin before, and now he had nothing more to teach.
"Bolevin, I called you here this time because I have something to confirm with you."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu did not keep anyone in suspense and went straight to the point.
"We have explored the other side of our Great Zhou territory to the edge of the world. Will there be an energy channel in this area?"
The great elder of the grassland elves at that time did not explain the matter very clearly, so Zhou Xu only had a general understanding of this piece of information.
Bolevin did not find it strange about their king's question. In his opinion, a great being like their king would not care about such trivial matters at all, so it was not surprising that he did not know.
"Reporting to the king, the energy channel will not necessarily appear."
Bolevin first gave a clear conclusion and then slowly explained the reasons.
"According to my understanding, every fragment of the world in this void is actually floating aimlessly, and the fragments themselves will not consciously and actively approach other fragments."
"It's just that when the distance between the two world fragments is shortened to a certain extent, the energy contained in the world fragments will attract each other, thus accelerating the merger of the two world fragments."
"And the energy channel is actually formed when two world fragments pull on each other. To be honest, it's not a channel. It's just that the energies of the two world fragments are constantly pulling and entangled, and a special space that can be passed through accidentally appears in the middle."
Through Bo Levin's explanation, Zhou Xu gained a new understanding of the energy channels and world fragments.
Simply put, the appearance of this piece of void only means that you have reached the end of this direction within this fragment of the world, but it does not mean that there will be any enemies on the opposite side.
There is no absolute correlation between the two.
Maybe more than a decade passes and nothing happens. Of course, on the other hand, it is not impossible that an energy channel will be formed in a few days.
No matter what, we still need to be on guard.
Taking this potential threat into consideration, Zhou Xu decided to transfer some of their human mountain soldiers back from the southern battlefield of the New World and appropriately increase their garrison forces in the mountains just in case.
During this period, he inevitably thought of the Lizardman's Velociraptor.
Judging from Speed Dragon's legs and feet, he is probably good at climbing mountains and crossing rivers. It would be great if this force could be assigned to Shi Lei's side.
As long as he didn't encounter an enemy that completely crushed him in development, once an ordinary enemy invaded, the existence of the Speed Dragon Cavalry, as a special cavalry that could move flexibly in a complex mountain environment, could be said to be a dimensionality reduction strike! Of course, he couldn't think too much about things unilaterally, and he still had to consider the issues that needed to be considered.
Without mentioning anything else, let’s just talk about their habits. Whether it is Lizardmen or Velociraptor, they are both typical tropical creatures, and their main living environment is in the tropics where it is spring all year round.
Once they move to the mountains, the climate is completely different from that in the tropics. Will they be able to adapt? Don't forget that the Lizardmen invaded the grasslands in large numbers before, but were finally discouraged by the climate.
In addition, there is also the altitude sickness caused by the increase in altitude! Zhou Xu told Bo Lewen about these ideas, and Bo Lewen couldn't give an answer.
After thinking about this for a while, Zhou Xu spoke again...
"How about this, first send a Swift Dragon Cavalry Squadron to check out the situation. If they can adapt, then we can make subsequent deployments. If they can't adapt, then we can withdraw."
Of course, Bolevin could not have any objection to their king's arrangement.
There is no need to transfer a small team of troops from the garrison camp in the southern border, they have them ready here.
After all, the Lizardmen have been training and developing their own velociraptors over the past year, so they can't just rely on their old capital.
At this moment, we can just transfer a small team of new recruits from here and return with the mountain soldiers of the Great Zhou.
The troops who received the order quickly took action and passed through the energy channel. It was now late autumn in the Old Continent.
When they came out of the energy channel, it was already past three in the afternoon and the temperature had begun to drop.
As soon as they came out, not to mention the Raptors, even the mountain soldiers who had not returned for a long time couldn't help but shrink their necks, feeling the chill brought by the temperature difference between the two sides.
What’s different from the dragoons is that they know that the cold has just begun.
The temperature on the grassland is still around 15 or 16 degrees during the day, but after nightfall, the temperature will drop rapidly and drop below zero in an instant.
Although the garrison camp had prepared thick coats for them in advance, the temperature difference, which was like bungee jumping, still made them feel very uncomfortable, not to mention the dragoons.
In fact, from the perspective of climate, it might be much better if they come here in the summer, but since they are going to live here permanently, they have to adapt to various climates.
With this idea in mind, Zhou Xu didn't choose a date for them.
