Chapter 436 Preparations from the rear
At the same time, in Black Moon Village, in order to facilitate the coordination of all parties, Zhou Xu temporarily returned to Black Moon Village as the base camp to take command.
In contrast, a meeting hall was also built in Black Moon Village, and the scale was larger than that in Prairie Village.
Sitting on the throne, the morning court meeting is currently taking place.
“Zhao Geng is responsible for sending food supplies to the grassland village for the front line. Are you ready?”
Facing the question, Minister of Agriculture Zhao Geng immediately stood up.
"Reply to the king, everything is ready. We can set off after the transportation team is loaded."
After getting the answer he wanted, Zhou Xu nodded with satisfaction. , and then his eyes fell on Wang Dachui, the director of the forging department.
"What about weapons?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, one hundred newly forged iron guns and fifty swords are already waiting to be loaded at the entrance of the village. At the same time, according to your instructions, Your Majesty It means that our forging department will temporarily stop the forging of iron guns and start to focus on forging swords and shields.”
"Very good. The environment in which lizardmen live is mainly woodland. It is difficult for long-handled weapons to be used. Next, in complex combat environments, more effective sword and shield equipment will be the focus. This piece of work It must be done carefully and there will be no room for mistakes!”
After the meeting, Zhou Xu had no time to relax for the time being, and he planned to go to Tieshan Village.
Since the lizard people's territory is mainly covered by rainforest areas, mountain soldiers who can fight in similar environments have become their key training targets.
With this as a premise, Zhou Xu planned to go to the military camp over there to personally confirm the training situation of the new recruits.
At the same time, somewhere in the opposite world...
"What the hell, what happened in the past two days? The lizard men's patrols here suddenly intensified. Have they discovered our existence?"
Joseph was hiding in the rain forest and came out to hunt. , quietly observing the lizardman patrol passing by outside, not daring to act rashly for fear of exposing their position and attracting a large army of lizardmen to encircle and suppress them.
After the lizardman patrol left, they quickly left the area, returned to the current temporary camp of their centaur clan, and reported the situation to Diak.
After listening to the report, Diack frowned at first, and then, as if he realized something, a strange color appeared on his face involuntarily.
“The Lizardmen, who were not conducting high-frequency patrols here, suddenly increased their patrol intensity. Could it be that the troops of Da Zhou came over? In order to prevent us from contacting each other, the Lizardmen began to force The purpose of increasing patrols here is to prevent us from getting close easily?”
"Really? Really?!"
Diack's muttering was interrupted by Joseph's obviously excited voice.
"If this is really the case, then should we quickly call all the tribesmen to gather together?! I will go now!"
As he spoke, Joseph was about to turn around and run to tell the good news He told all the tribesmen, but was caught by Diak.
“You kid, please calm down for a while!”
Joseph, who was caught by Diack, had a look of confusion on his face, not knowing why the other party wanted to catch him.
Diack gave the answer before the other party could ask further questions.
“When the king of the Great Zhou Dynasty called me over to discuss the plan, he made arrangements for this situation. If the troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty have already arrived, then we should do something. It’s time to do something.”
At this point, Diak’s eyes fell on Joseph.
“As for you kid, just shut your mouth.”
"..."
On this side, headed by Diak, the centaurs who survived the previous lizardmen's encirclement and suppression launched a new action.
As for Da Zhou, Zhou Xu has undoubtedly arrived at Tieshan Village successfully.
At this moment, he has already inspected the training of new recruits and the work at the Tieshan Mine, which is an important resource output point.
In terms of training, Zhou Xu himself is not a professional. At most, he only knows some basic ideas. Shi Lei, who had accumulated experience in practice, added his own understanding of mountain warfare to the training ideas and made improvements.
In Zhou Xu's view, Shi Lei's ability in training mountain soldiers is already more reliable than his, so there is no need for him to continue to be an outsider giving advice to an expert.
And speaking of laymen giving advice to insiders...
"Where is that boy Wang Pengfei?"
Zhou Xu asked a team leader who was accompanying him.
Hearing this, the team leader looked around the village. After seeing a group of people gathered in the distance, the team leader immediately said with certainty...
"It must be there."
Listening to the tone of the team leader, Zhou Xu became a little more interested in Wang Pengfei's latest status here. After signaling to the people around him to keep quiet, he quietly stepped forward. go.
After getting closer, Wang Pengfei’s voice came out quickly.
"It's easy for you, as long as..."
Wang Pengfei opened his mouth, and suddenly started talking nonsense. Many villagers were stunned when they heard the rhetoric.
During this period, Zhou Xu also looked at the other party through the gap in the crowd.
After half a year of transformation in Tieshan Village, Wang Pengfei has really changed his appearance, and even he is unrecognizable.
Of course, it doesn't mean that he will become a handsome guy when he loses weight. It's not that nonsense. Wang Pengfei just has an ordinary face that can't be found in a crowd.
But the feeling of his whole spirit is completely different. He was originally a somewhat gloomy guy, and the change in his temperament is particularly obvious.
However, the situation is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. This boy's bad habit of liking to point out the situation has not changed at all. In fact, after getting familiar with it here, he has been allowed to develop it.
Look at him, he is so boastful right now, he seems to know everything, and he knows everything.
Of course, he was only halfway through playing when the villagers who were watching began to make trouble.
"The method you mentioned is useless at all. I went back and tried it many times, but it didn't work at all."
"Then there must be something wrong with your operation!"
Wang Pengfei responded immediately, almost instinctively, and the most prominent thing was "I am definitely right, and if I am wrong, it is your problem." Although his practical ability is pitifully low, he still has a mysterious self-confidence.
However, there are obviously many villagers in this village who have been deceived by his theoretical knowledge that he talks about on paper and does not know whether it is true or false.
"Can you please tell me who has done those tricks before?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present agreed, obviously no one had succeeded.
Wang Pengfei was undoubtedly a little embarrassed by this scene, but he still bit the bullet and raised the banner.
"We will become the king! Does Cement know that? That's what I taught him!"
However, the villagers didn't accept this at all, because they had heard similar words many times.
“Just brag, if you can make cement, it’s because our king is capable. Even if you really mentioned a few words, it’s just nonsense. It’s good if you didn’t add any trouble to the king. Otherwise, Just follow what you said and make it yourself for me to see?"
When the villagers said this, they hit Wang Pengfei's core directly, and the boy stopped eating on the spot.
Looking at Wang Pengfei's embarrassed look, a happy atmosphere suddenly filled the crowd of villagers watching.
