Chapter 970: Dilemma
In the battle report written by Soros, he expressed admiration for Bai Tu's offensive efficiency.
Although Bai Tu had performed quite well in the previous defense of the Southern Fortress, proving himself to be a capable commander.
But after turning from defense to offense, Bai Tu's performance directly refreshed Soros's perception of him.
It was as if he had suddenly turned on a special switch, and through his tactical actions, he enabled them to display unstoppable offensive efficiency.
As summer approaches, the weather in the south becomes hotter and hotter, with daytime temperatures almost reaching over 35 degrees.
For human troops, in such hot weather, they need to wear armor all day to march and even fight, which is simply a torture, and it also greatly increases their probability of heat stroke.
On the other hand, the lizardmen led by Soros did not have much impact from the hot temperature, except that the weather was a little dry recently, which caused some of the lizardmen's skin to become dry and cracked and uncomfortable.
Even if they are given plenty of water in time, the problem of dry skin can be solved to a large extent by relying on the lizard people's own water storage ability.
This gives the Lizardman troops more tasks to shoulder during this hot season.
The pterosaur riders flew through the air, and with the advantage of aerial vision, they quickly discovered the city below.
This discovery left the pterosaur riders confused. In their impression, ratmen basically built their nests underground and would never build cities on the surface.
Not to mention that according to the development model and structure of the Ratman Clan, they should not have the construction capabilities to build cities.
With doubts in mind, the pterosaur riders lowered their flying altitude slightly and used the "Eye of Insight" bestowed by their Majesty to find out.
With the help of the 'Eye of Insight', his vision quickly became clear.
This made him quickly realize that the situation was not what he had initially expected.
At this moment, what caught his eyes were large areas of broken walls.
There is indeed a city underneath, but this city has long been completely destroyed. Through simple observation, it is not difficult to see that this city has been abandoned for some time.
Looking around, he didn't see any sign of any living creature inside.
Out of caution, the pterosaur rider flew around the deserted city. After confirming that everything was correct, he turned back and reported his findings to Soros.
At that time, inside the camp of the Great Zhou Southern Border troops, Soros was discussing the next attack plan with Bai Tu.
From the defensive battle of the South Border Fortress to the subsequent destruction of the five underground nests of the Corrupted Clan, Soros and Bai Tu established a very good revolutionary friendship through consecutive victories, and their tacit understanding on the battlefield also deepened day by day.
Bai Tu also listened to the pterosaur rider's report and then started a discussion.
"Judging from the location, it should have been destroyed by the ratmen. The problem now is that we can't be sure whether the ratmen have built a nest under the ruins of the city."
Obviously, neither Bai Tu nor Soros was very interested in knowing what this city had experienced in the past.
For them, the most important thing is what is the current situation of the ruins of the city? How to carry out the follow-up actions? And how can they locate the location of the underground nest of the ratmen?
After they destroyed five underground nests in succession, the ratmen from the Corruption Clan on the opposite side became more and more cautious.
At the same time, these ratmen have basically figured out their offensive tactics.
They knew that the troops led by Bai Tu had been looking for their underground nest. At the same time, they were also aware that based on the capabilities of the Wood Elf Mage Corps on their side, it would be difficult to perform two large-scale spells in a short period of time.
For this reason, when they destroyed the previous nest, the ratmen on the opposite side had already started playing real and fake tricks with Bai Tu.
Fortunately, Bai Tu observed carefully and discovered the clues in time, so he avoided being tricked by the opponent.
But now, there are too many ruins and shelters in a city.
If there really is a nest underneath, the entrance to the nest can be hidden in any corner of the ruins, making it more difficult for them to figure out the truth about the other side.
Bai Tu also had a headache about this situation.
Soros also knew what was bothering Bai Tu.
There is no denying that this is a thorny issue.
Recently, their main force has almost rested, and it is not a good thing to continue the stalemate.
With this thought in mind, Soros slowly spoke...
"How about this, I will take action first, and then the rat people will also take action in response. When that time comes, you can find an opportunity to see if you can lock the location."
Unexpectedly, just as Soros finished speaking, Bai Tu had a new idea.
"Colonel Soros, what do you think if I just give up the idea of destroying the ratmen's nest and join forces with you to attack head-on?"
Hearing this, Soros was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.
"Yeah! You're really being picky. There's no need for us to destroy the other side's nest!"
Previously, they divided their forces and adopted a two-pronged tactic, which was so effective that they enjoyed it so much that they never thought of changing their tactics.
At this moment, Soros reacted and slapped his forehead, feeling as if everything had suddenly become clear.
"This year we have switched from defense to offense and have been continuously launching offensives. We have been fighting all the time. Judging from the situation in the recent battles, the opposing ratmen's strength must have been unable to recover."
"Destroying the opponent's nest directly will make it easier for us to win, but according to the current situation, I estimate that even if we fight the ratmen head-on, we are still confident of winning!"
When two forces fight, the battle at the border is often when both sides have the most troops.
Afterwards, as the territory continued to fall, the enemy's resources and manpower continued to be lost, and they would only become weaker and weaker.
Up to this point, the Great Zhou's southern border expeditionary force can be said to have gained complete dominance.
Judging from the current situation, there is no need for them to play tricks with the opponent. They can just show their military strength and crush them with hard power and that's it!
Soros and Bai Tu quickly reached a consensus on this matter.
It's a new day. The Southern Expeditionary Force is ready, and the Lizardman army led by Soros begins to advance again.
During this period, the human troops led by Bai Tu were lurking on the outskirts of the battlefield, ready to respond at any time to any possible situation that might occur next.
