Chapter 980 This Lake is Too Big
Putting away his posture, Zhou Chongshan, who was now certain that he had successfully broken through, had an expression of uncontrollable joy on his face.
At the same time, Tash came over with a melancholy look on his face and handed him the reins of a velociraptor.
"Let's go, great hero."
Faced with the teasing from his comrades, Zhou Chongshan laughed, took the reins, and patted Tash on the shoulder.
"Keep calm, there will be a chance."
Obviously, he knew what Tash was worried about.
But what can he do? The lizardmen have different body structures from humans.
They used to envy the Lizardmen for their racial heritage, as every soldier could cast the spell of truth. Now it was the Lizardmen's turn to envy them.
In a way, this is fair, right? By the way, it is worth mentioning that the same situation did not occur to the elves as it did to the lizardmen, at least the impact was not significant.
This can be seen from the fact that Silk has successfully reached the Hundred Refining Realm.
After all, from the appearance point of view, except for the pair of pointed ears, the physical features of elves and humans are almost the same.
There may be some subtle differences in the specific distribution of skeletal muscles.
But this question cannot be verified for the time being, and it is not that important.
Now, as long as you understand that the elves can basically be trained normally and achieve results, that's all.
In just a short while, the dragoons who formed an encirclement on the periphery had already launched a carpet search around the area.
At the same time, the green lizard infantrymen who had retreated outside the city before also rushed in again to cooperate with the operation.
After dealing with the evil demon, the next thing they have to do is to hunt down the remaining ratmen who are likely to still exist.
Obviously, Zhou Chongshan doesn't need to worry about this matter.
As one of the great contributors to the resolution of the evil demon, he can now return to the camp to rest.
Large-scale searches like this one surrounding an area are often very time-consuming, and in many cases, even more time-consuming and labor-intensive than a direct battle.
During this period, compared to the Lizardman troops who were fully responsible for the search and capture work, Bai Tu and his men were mainly responsible for guarding the camp and ensuring its safety.
During this process, Bai Tu's attention naturally fell on the ruins of the city not far from the camp.
"I just checked again. The city walls are basically intact, but the city gate is damaged. Maybe we can repair the city gate and then move directly into the city. With the protection of the city walls, it will be safer than camping in the wild."
Having said that, Bai Tu changed the subject.
"Of course, during the inspection, I also took the underground nest of the ratmen into consideration."
Obviously, Bai Tu's considerations were quite comprehensive.
"The question now is whether there are still ratmen in the underground nest, and where the exit of the underground nest leads to."
"If the ratmen use this exit to invade the city, it will be troublesome for us."
During this process, Soros just listened quietly the whole time.
After working together all this time, he has come to realize that Bai Tu is a capable commander and will naturally not make any low-level mistakes.
In fact, Bai Tu had just said everything he wanted to say.
To settle in the ruins of this city, the key lies in how to deal with the underground nest in the city.
At this time, Soros was also waiting for Bai Tu's next words.
In response to this, Bai Tu did not hesitate and directly expressed his thoughts.
"The internal structure of the ratmen's underground nest is already complicated. In my opinion, instead of spending a lot of time and energy sending troops to search, it is better to fill up the underground nest directly."
"If we want to clean up the city, then we must find a place to pile up the broken walls and ruins inside the city, which will be used to fill the underground nest."
"After that, when the Wood Elf Mage Corps has recovered their mana, I will have them cast a spell around that area and use the vines to probe the structure below to find the location of the nest's exit."
Hearing this, Soros nodded.
"Okay, just as you say."
Compared to camps in the wild, there is indeed a circle of walls for protection, which makes it safer.
At the same time, their troops from the southern border advanced all the way over. This was the only city they had discovered at this stage.
Taking into account the labor problem within their Great Zhou, this city ruin will most likely be converted into an important fortress stronghold in the future.
They are now starting the cleanup work and there is no big problem.
Now on their southern border troops side, Soros is in charge of external affairs and Bai Tu is in charge of internal affairs. The two sides have a clear division of labor. After a brief discussion and reaching a consensus, Bai Tu quickly commanded the troops to take action.
At the same time, compared to the ground troops conducting a carpet search, the main task of the pterosaur riders, as a flying unit, is to complete a simple exploration of the entire area from the air first, so that they can have a clearer understanding of the environment around the city ruins.
Of course, we also help the ground troops find traces of the ratmen.
This purpose required them to maintain a low-altitude flight throughout the entire process so that they could see the situation on the ground relatively clearly.
But unfortunately, the fleeing ratmen were obviously aware that the Southern Border troops had such an air force, and the previous appearance of the evil demons had indeed delayed their operational efficiency to a great extent.
It is not so easy to find the remaining ratmen who have escaped now.
Until now, the pterosaur riders flying in the air have found nothing. On the contrary, the ground troops have found some search directions through some traces left in the environment.
The pterosaur riders were not bothered by this situation.
Judging from the current situation, they have just won a victory, and everyone is in a good mood at the moment.
For them, all they have to do is successfully complete the tasks assigned to them by the commander.
With this mentality, the pterosaur riders kept flying at a low altitude and soon flew over the not-so-high hill in the distance.
The next second, the pterosaur riders felt a dazzling light before their eyes, which made them squint unconsciously.
After a brief period of adjustment, they slowly opened their eyes.
At this moment, what appeared before their eyes was a vast expanse of blue water.
Standing at the height they were at, they could see no end at all! This discovery made the pterosaur riders look surprised.
"Oh my god! Isn't this river too big?!"
"Bullshit! Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. It's so big, how can it be a river? This is a lake! A super big lake!!"
“This lake is too big!”
