Chapter 449: Say it again? !
Compared with cleaning and moving things around in Tieshan Village, working as an assistant to Zhou Xu here will undoubtedly be much easier in terms of physical exertion.
But mentally speaking, Wang Pengfei undoubtedly felt more tired.
Although he often used Zhou Xu to pull the tiger's skin when bragging and nonsense with other villagers in private, but when he really met his fellow villager, he suddenly became intimidated. I always feel uncontrollably nervous and frightened.
Wang Pengfei is a virtual laning master whose main battle area is online. In the real world where the opponent can gank him at any time, his character is inherently timid and cowardly.
Under this premise, according to Zhou Xu's status here, one sentence can easily determine his life or death. Facing Zhou Xu like this, he can't even think about not being nervous or fearful.
Although in his usual work, Zhou Xu did not show any bad side at all, and could even be said to be easy-going.
But during the recent period, Wang Pengfei still has a feeling of being with a king like a tiger. He is in fear all day long, for fear that he will say something wrong and get himself killed.
This is somewhat of a persecutory paranoia, or an excess of self-awareness.
The reason why Zhou Xu transferred him to be his assistant was, to put it bluntly, that he was literate and could occasionally use the messy knowledge he had mastered in the laning on some matters.
Other than that, he had no idea.
It was the same now. After saying something casually, Zhou Xu's attention shifted to the documents in front of him, completely ignoring what Wang Pengfei was nervous about.
It has only been more than a month since the recruits were sent there for training.
For lizard people who have lived in a complex environment like the rain forest since birth, there is not much difference between sending mountain soldiers who have only received this level of training and sending them to death.
Rather than rushing them to die there, Zhou Xu would rather remain patient and wait a little longer.
As long as the ratmen and lizardmen were still fighting on the opposite continent, he could afford to wait.
Of course, considering the emergency, Shi Lei's ready-made mountain soldiers have been transferred over and followed the previous logistics troops.
With this fighting force, I believe that if there is any emergency and they have to fight in the rainforest environment, Li Ce and the others will not be helpless to fight back.
At the same time, at the frontline camp, the total number of mountain soldiers transferred from Shi Lei's command was thirty, and they had officially completed their registration with Li Ce.
Don't underestimate these thirty people. They are all vine armor soldiers, the elite of Shi Lei's command. In terms of their combat effectiveness in a complex environment like the mountains and forests, they can completely crush the vine armor soldiers on the grassland.
Next, if they need to take the initiative to launch an attack in the rainforest environment, then these thirty vine armor soldiers trained in the mountains must be their core force.
During this period, this batch of supplies also included a large number of sword and shield equipment. There is no doubt that this is preparation for further operations.
During the process of transporting materials and sorting them out, Li Tie, who noticed this, undoubtedly realized something.
After completing the work here, he found an opportunity and asked Li Ce directly.
"Li Tie, the captain of the seventh team of the Tengjia soldiers, please see the lieutenant!"
Li Ce is undoubtedly impressed by Li Tie.
Able to keep up with the training intensity of the Vine Armor Soldiers in such a short period of time, and even surpass some of the internal veterans, becoming a squad leader.
His performance was eye-catching enough that Li Ce couldn't help but notice it.
However, Li Ce will not give special preferential treatment to Li Tie because of this, but will continue to maintain his equal attitude. "What happened?"
"Report to Lieutenant, my subordinates are here to apply to join the next battle."
Li Tie was not at all hesitant, and directly stated his intention as soon as he came up.
After hearing this, Li Ce's expression did not change much, and his tone was as calm as ever.
“The next battle? What battle?”
“My subordinates saw the swords and shields sent over, as well as the mountain soldiers transferred from Tieshan Village. Mountain people who come from the mountains are also good at fighting in mountainous environments. If you need to go deep into the rainforest environment to perform tasks, please apply to join!”
It's not difficult at all to see this. The weapons and equipment and the rainforest are right there. Who can't see it?
But Li Tie is really the first one who has the courage to come directly to him to make demands.
People like Li Tie who were recruited by them and then obtained official citizenship will mostly behave in two ways.
One is to indulge in a life that is simply better than the original one and be content with the status quo.
The other type, after seeing the development and life of Dazhou, began to pursue a better life for themselves.
Li Tie, who is eager to make meritorious deeds, undoubtedly belongs to the latter.
Li Ce didn’t hate this.
After all, this can be regarded as a kind of self-motivation. If everyone is content with the status quo and does not want to improve, then how can they make progress?
But at this time, Li Ce obviously did not intend to give Li Tie a clear answer. He just looked at him twice and said lightly.
“Go down.”
"..."
This reply made Li Tie confused. He was unable to get the desired result, which made Li Tie feel a little upset.
Li Tie, who has received long-term military training, naturally knows that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, obeying orders is the bounden duty of soldiers, and soldiers who violate this iron rule will be punished. He planned to seek punishment from Li Ce.
In this way, he could only say "yes" in a muffled voice and retreat.
At the same time, in the lizard man's temple, the latest information sent back from the southern front made the high priest suddenly stunned.
"What? Say it again?!"
The lizard man below who had just reported the situation on the front line had never seen their high priest look so out of control before, and he was really shocked.
But he quickly came to his senses and told him again what happened on the front line.
“Reporting to the high priest, the centaurs suddenly appeared on the battlefield in the south where we were fighting the rat men. They were still running on the outside of the battlefield, shouting that our rear was being attacked by another force... "
Before the lizard man below finished speaking, he heard 'Clang! ’ With a sound, the high priest slammed the metal vessel handed down from the old civilization in his hand to the ground!
The exquisite cup made from the craftsmanship of the old civilization is one of the high priest's favorite vessels. It is very precious when drinking water from it.
Now that this treasure was smashed to the ground, it is not difficult to see how bad the high priest's mood has become.
