Chapter 907: Dispatching Troops
In Feiyan City, Bai Tu was extremely excited after receiving the order!
Thinking carefully, he was really unlucky. In the battle to destroy Liang, the gap in strength between the two sides was too large. As the attackers, they basically did not feel much difficulty, which also led to the fact that this record was really not very valuable.
Later, the greenskin troops invaded, which was a tough battle, but as Drogo's deputy general, he went back to the New South District to recruit centaurs! He missed this battle.
And now, he finally got another chance.
At the same time, the most important thing is that this time, he is no longer participating in the battle as Zhuo Ge's deputy general, but leading an army alone to support their southern fortress of the Great Zhou! Although he is leading a troop of new recruits and the mission is mainly to cooperate with the southern garrison, the transition from deputy general to main general is a huge improvement.
Bai Tu took two deep breaths quickly, adjusted his emotions, and regained his usual calm.
Along with this transfer order, there was also a simple intelligence information, which roughly told him that the enemy they would face in the southern border this time was a special race called "rat people".
At the end of the intelligence, there was a special sentence saying that specific information could be consulted with Diak.
As Drogo's deputy, Bai Tu naturally knew who Diak was.
This time, there was no ambiguity at all and he immediately ran to find out the situation.
In response to this, Diak did not hide anything and told everything he knew about the ratmen.
"To put it simply, the most difficult thing about the ratmen is their numbers. It's as if they can't be killed all. Once they launch an offensive, it's like they're endless, until they wear you down!"
"The core combat force of the Skaven Army is not actually the regular army, but the Skaven slave soldiers."
Recalling the scene of the surging tide of rats, Diak's face couldn't help but turn slightly pale.
This change doubled the pressure on Bai Tu.
Bai Tu knew how strong the Centaurs were on the battlefield. Even when they mentioned the Skaven, they had this reaction? This was enough to show that the opponent this time was indeed not to be underestimated.
During this time, Diak continued to speak...
"Of course, this doesn't mean that the regular army is not worth mentioning. If we take them alone, the number of the ratmen's regular army is relatively limited, and the threat is also limited. However, once the regular army and the rat tide launch an offensive, the threat will increase exponentially."
At the end, Diak patted Bai Tu on the shoulder.
"Be prepared mentally. The most tormenting thing about fighting against the ratmen is your spirit. You have no idea when the fight will end. This state will make you very tormented."
During this process, seeing Bai Tu's expression becoming more and more solemn, Diak scratched the back of his head, wondering if he had said something wrong. It was not a good thing to make people so nervous before the fight even started.
"Of course, you don't have to be too nervous. We have won before, and the southern border has actually been fighting the rat people for the past two years."
"The Lizardmen troops stationed in the South Border Fortress are mortal enemies of the ratmen. They have been fighting against the ratmen for many years. They are experienced. With them as a backup, nothing will go wrong."
"Your Majesty has asked you to lead the new recruits to support us this time. The purpose is obvious. He wants the new recruits to gain practical experience. Just keep calm and cooperate with the Lizardmen troops over there."
After a brief chat with Bai Tu, Diak turned and left.
Bai Tu received the transfer order from their Majesty, and they also received it. Next, they had to rush to Pingyuan Fortress to take up their posts.
During this period, although Zhuogo's military rank did not change, his position was changed from a border general to Shi Lei's deputy general.
Ordinary people might be dissatisfied with this matter, but Drogo himself did not have any thoughts about it.
After serving as a frontier general for the past few years, Drogo realized one thing: he was indeed not suited to being a general. The most he could do was to lead his people into battle, and he could not do anything else.
At the same time, although this transfer was from general to deputy general, it is not necessarily a demotion.
Think about it carefully, Zhuo Ge was originally just a general of Feiyan City, and Shi Lei is now the commander-in-chief of Xinbei District! He is in charge of all the cities in Xinbei District!
The gold content is not on the same level.
With the transfer order, Zhuogo, Bai Tu and others quickly set off.
Bai Tu first arrived at Xianyang City, led his deputy general John and the wood elf soldiers under his command, then took the transfer order and rushed to the recruit training camp to take away his new troops, and finally carried out preparations before departure in Green Forest City.
The journey from Feiyan City to Lulin City took almost a month.
During this time, Locke, who was returning to the wood elf village to get the other two ancient scrolls, happened to be separated from them. Upon hearing the news, Locke's face changed, and he became visibly nervous.
"Your Majesty! Please allow me to go with you!"
Obviously, Locke was worried that something might happen to John and his men on the battlefield.
Faced with this situation, Zhou Xu was a little hesitant.
"Chief Locke, there is no such thing as friendship in this army. You have to obey orders. My Great Zhou has always been strict with military orders. If you disobey orders, you will be punished by military law. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go."
As an extraordinary wizard, Locke must have the strength, and this proposal also has a certain appeal.
But the fear is that he may not obey orders, or even interfere out of concern for John and the others, and do something that may hinder them.
Once this happens, it will have far-reaching consequences.
After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Zhou Xu politely declined.
But Locke was extremely persistent.
"If I disobey orders, you can punish me by military law. I will have no complaints!"
However, Zhou Xu disagreed with Locke's assurance.
"You and our Great Zhou are allies. Even though you say so now, if something goes wrong, it will still be difficult for me."
John and his team had already set off a long time ago, and no one knew when they would arrive at the front line, which made Locke extremely anxious.
He could actually understand Zhou Xu's concerns and what he meant.
As thoughts raced through his mind, Locke gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Then how about this? I will join the Great Zhou and become a formal citizen of the Great Zhou! In this way, I will be bound by the laws of the Great Zhou, and you don't need to embarrass me anymore!"
Locke is not a fool. As the clan leader, even if he insists on not joining, since the younger generation are already official citizens of the Great Zhou, it doesn't make much difference from a practical point of view.
It is only a matter of time before their wood elf clan is completely incorporated into the Great Zhou.
It's just that he had never been able to get over the hurdle in his heart, so he had been holding on.
But now, things are different.
This is related to the future of their wood elves. As an elder, how can Locke really rest assured? Finally, he made up his mind and took the last step, in exchange for a chance to go to war with the army.
