Chapter 1242: Various situations
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this wave of march was in various situations on the part of the Smith Republic.
Among them, the one in the most troubled situation is undoubtedly the Rakshasa Republican troops headed by Peter.
Over the years, Peter may have accumulated a lot of experience in underground activities, but he has basically zero experience in serious marching, fighting and governing. In addition, the soldiers of the Rakshasa Republican Party have no hardware or software. Above, the current results are completely foreseeable.
Zhou Xu could understand Peter's unwillingness to be outdone in the face of Fisher. After all, in the struggle between the two parties in the Smith Republic, the Rakshasa Republican Party was already at a disadvantage. If Fisher were to confront them and the Saint Laurent Empire, If he has a good relationship, he will have little chance of making a comeback.
But even so, Zhou Xu felt that it was a stupid decision for Peter to insist on competing with Fisher and gathering troops to go on an expedition at this point in time.
At this stage, the soldiers of the Rakshasa Republican Party do not have this strength, let alone such preparations!
Of course, since he basically has no influence on them, he has no interest in dictating the affairs of other countries. He still has this basic quality.
But what Zhou Xu didn't know was that during this process, Fisher and Peter felt very strange in their hearts.
Due to the harsh weather in the harsh winter, injuries and illnesses continued to occur within their troops, and the number of troops continued to decrease. The female warrior clan was of demigod descent, and their physical fitness was far beyond that of humans. It was okay to forget about it. Why was there no movement at all from Dazhou? ?
Of course, Fisher and Peter couldn't know that the soldiers of Dazhou just looked like humans now.
The recruitment test itself is a selection, selecting the group with better physical fitness from the ordinary people, and these people can often receive more blessings with the blessing of the 'evolutionary leader'.
After joining the army, the meals provided by Da Zhou's troops provided them with sufficient nutrition, coupled with high-intensity training.
Nowadays, the physical fitness of every Great Zhou soldier is unmatched by ordinary human soldiers.
Of course, this does not mean that they will never get sick, but their body’s immunity and adaptability have become stronger.
As long as they are not allowed to stay with a patient with an infectious disease for a long time and have only a short contact, according to the current physical fitness of the Zhou soldiers, the probability of them contracting the virus is very low.
Maintaining this status quo, a month passed quietly.
During this time, Fisher and Peter were also forced to continue reducing their staff.
In this case, since no one wanted to be caught and attacked by the hostile parties right in front of them, patients on both sides experienced humanitarian care that they had never experienced before.
Not only did they take great care of them, but they also left dedicated personnel to take care of them and wait for the arrival of the logistics force.
But this move undoubtedly also led to the rapid reduction of their troops.
When we came out, the main battle strength was 12,000. The battle hadn't even started yet, but the troops were already running towards 10,000...
This situation made Fisher quite upset, but he knew that he had to do this, otherwise that bitch Peter would use this point to attack him!
To some extent, Fisher and Peter also began to get involved invisibly.
On a new day, a giant eagle knight flew quickly through the sky.
During the advancement of the large army, in order to ensure the safety of the march, their giant eagle knights of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Pegasus knights of the female warrior clan will perform alert patrols in the air and open roads ahead for reconnaissance.
Just finishing the exploration work in the front area, the Giant Eagle Knight came back as quickly as possible to report to Li Ce. Zhou Xu did not care about trivial matters during the march. Li Ce, as the commander-in-chief, was basically responsible for everything. .
"Report! Traces of Goblin Wolf Cavalry were found three kilometers ahead!"
With air units performing reconnaissance missions, many ambush troop movements will be undetectable.
"How many?"
"Visually estimate two thousand." Upon hearing this number, Li Ce frowned immediately.
According to the efficiency of the large army, we are still almost half a month away from the border of the Saint Laurent Empire.
In this position, it is normal for the green-skinned army, as the attacker, to arrange for security troops to patrol the perimeter to ensure that no foreign enemies are approaching.
After all, they had to set aside time to go back and report the news, and even mobilize follow-up troops for support.
But the size of this security force is very abnormal!
How can two thousand troops be arranged to carry out security missions?
Moreover, when carrying out a warning mission, they need to evacuate on a large scale to ensure a warning area. People who are gathered together like this are obviously waiting for them.
"Exposed, the other side knew in advance that we were coming."
Realizing this, Li Ce immediately thought of the previous Blood Hand Clan. If it was the information provided by the Blood Hand Clan, then the other party would most likely be able to confirm their identity to a certain extent.
Following this line of thought, new questions quickly arose in Li Ce's mind...
[It’s impossible for these two thousand Goblin Wolf Cavalry to want to ambush us, right? The Blood Hand Clan suffered a loss once before, will it suffer again? 】
[But if the other party’s purpose is not to ambush, but to delay time...]
[That’s not right. According to previous intelligence, the Saint Laurent Empire is powerful. Now facing the joint siege of the Green Skin Royal Family and the Blood Hand Clan, it is still able to resist. With just that little time, it is possible to capture Saint Laurent. The Roland Empire is simply unrealistic. 】
As his thoughts whirled, Li Ce frowned and asked again.
"Is there anything suspicious around there?"
"Something suspicious..."
After thinking about it for a moment, the giant eagle knight quickly said...
"There is a large woodland further away."
The situation at that time, because the large-scale Goblin Wolf Cavalry was so eye-catching, caused the Giant Eagle Knight's attention to fall entirely on them, but somewhat ignored other things.
Li Ce's face suddenly darkened after confirming the news.
"The Bloody Hand clan knows that we have air units. In this case, there is a large area of woodland that is not used, but instead let the Goblin Wolf Cavalry ambush outside?"
Hearing this, the giant eagle knight was shocked...
"Are you saying that the Goblin Wolf Cavalry placed outside is just a bait to attract our attention, and that there is a bigger ambush in the forest?!"
"We cannot rule out this possibility, but there is no guarantee that the other party is not playing some fictitious tricks with us."
Li Ce was still cautious and did not make a hasty decision.
"Pass my order, the entire army should be on alert, stop advancing, and rest where you are. I have to go see His Majesty!"
"Yes!"
