Chapter 432: Departure
At the edge of the world, a horn with a specific frequency sounded, which was a signal that the energy channel was discovered.
It was the day after they decided to take the initiative, and Li Ce had just returned to the garrison camp for deployment.
At the moment when the signal was confirmed, the cavalry unit headed by Li Ce flew all the way and arrived near the energy channel as quickly as possible.
However, they did not rush directly into the energy channel. Instead, as usual, they directly surrounded the energy channel, as if to guard against subsequent enemies that might rush from the other end of the energy channel.
During this period, the crossbowmen team that arrived in one step from the slow cavalry team also aimed at the exit of the energy channel as always, set up a three-bow bed crossbow, and were ready to launch an attack at any time.
This is undoubtedly an instruction from Zhou Xu, that is, they will not go down the next energy channel.
Maintaining the alert state until the moment the energy channel was closed, Li Ce waved his hand to close the team.
At the same time, on the opposite continent...
Besides the opened energy channel, the lizardman's large army is also ready to attack. As soon as the opposite army appears, they will immediately attack!
However, until the energy channel was closed, there was no movement at all on the other side. It could be said that waiting for so long was in vain.
Looking at the green lizard priest who was panting and exhausted, Thoros waved his hand and motioned to his subordinates to take him back.
As for himself, he rushed to the temple as quickly as possible to report the situation here to the high priest.
"High Priest, in accordance with your wishes, my subordinates asked the Green Lizard Priest to open the energy channel on his own initiative, and then arranged an ambush outside the channel, but no troops came from the opposite world."
For Regarding the situation on the other side, Soros did not make any guesses at this time, but reported the result to the high priest in the simplest way.
The previous failure to encircle and suppress the Centaur clan put him under a lot of pressure.
Fortunately, many centaurs were killed during the encirclement and suppression process, which can be regarded as reducing the opponent's combat power in disguise. Otherwise, even according to his status in the ethnic group, after successive defeats, he would definitely be To be severely punished.
Of course, even if he was not severely punished at this time, Soros's entire state has obviously become much more cautious in his words and deeds.
Because he also knew that his failures again and again were wearing down the high priest's patience with him.
After listening to Soros’ report, the high priest fell into deep thought.
[There was no attack. Was it because the other party didn't guess that something happened to the Centaurs? Or did you guess that I set a trap? Or is it that the other party doesn't want to take risks and is ready to give up on the Centaur clan? 】
To all kinds of questions, the high priest obviously could not get a clear answer at this moment.
The reason why this wave of high priests took the initiative to set up this trap and lure the opponent into the trap is that on the one hand, they must have taken advantage of the Centaur's incident this time and followed the trend.
On the other hand, there is a unit here that has retired from the front line to rest. It has now rested and is ready to return to the front line to join the battle.
In the current situation, the battle between the lizardmen and the ratmen in the south is not easy. This force is still relatively important. If they stay in the rear for a long time, they will also have to bear a lot of pressure.
The high priest undoubtedly decided to send this force to the front line in the end.
However, before going to the front line, the high priest took advantage of the time to set a trap for the opponent. If the opponent is attacked, he can seize this opportunity to hit the opponent hard, which can also reduce the pressure here in disguise. potential threats.
But unfortunately, the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny.
The situation in front of him was not at all what he had imagined, which left the high priest helpless. Some time ago, the rat people in the south had been quiet for a while, but now the offensive broke out again, and now it seems to be getting more and more fierce.
According to the current situation, it is unrealistic for him to gather troops and expedition to the opposite world. If he has the spare strength, why should he wait until now?
Now we can only pray to their gods, praying that the other party will retreat in spite of the difficulties, only care about self-preservation, and plan to give up the centaur clan.
On this side, Zhou Xu didn’t know what the lizardman high priest was thinking, but he definitely had no intention of giving up.
Standing still this time is mainly an operation out of caution, considering some circumstances and risks.
Based on the information sent back from the garrison camp, Zhou Xu was even more convinced that there was something wrong with that energy channel.
Although the formation of energy channels has a certain degree of randomness, and this randomness continues to change as the two world fragments continue to get closer.
But even so, among this constantly changing probability, some general rules can still be found.
For example, the formation time of energy channels!
It is a fact that energy channels appear more and more frequently.
But has it been a little too fast since the last time it appeared?
He had reason to doubt whether the lizard man on the opposite side had actively opened the energy channel.
Of course, all this is just his guess, and he doesn't worry about whether he guessed it right or not. This answer is not important to Zhou Xu at this time.
As for the Centaur clan being ambushed by the Lizardmen and successfully escaping, the formation of the next energy channel will have to wait at least half a month. During this time, the Centaur clan can The question of not being able to hold on...
As long as the centaurs are compared to a group of beasts, the answer can be clearly obtained.
A group of wild beasts will not lose their ability to survive in the wild just because you have raised them for a few days, let alone centaurs who originally made a living by hunting.
To be honest, after experiencing the ambush and breakout, the centaurs were most likely injured. They also need some time to rest, right?
Isn’t this the right time? There was no delay on either side.
In this way, on Zhou Xu's side, preparations for the war are still in full swing.
The new recruits who just reported to Prairie Village some time ago and began to receive regular army training will definitely have to step aside first. This expedition will not be their turn yet.
Under this premise, the large troops have already gathered at the border camp, and at the same time, the first batch of logistical supplies for the expedition have been delivered as quickly as possible.
After all, even if they figured out a general pattern, it was still vague. They couldn't accurately lock the opening time and location of the energy channel, so they could only patrol and wait.
This period of time is really difficult for Li Ce and others who are at the border.
There is no doubt that the lizard man is a strong enemy, and it is precisely the strength of the opponent that makes Li Ce and others feel a little nervous and anxious as they wait for the expedition.
This is simply unavoidable and can only be overcome by yourself.
After many days, with the opening of energy channels in the border area, the day of expedition officially arrived!
The passionate horn sound echoed on the grassland. Li Ce, wearing vine armor, drew his sword and gave the order.
“Go to war!!”
“WOW!!!”
