Chapter 843 Green-skinned Monster
After successfully capturing the Liang Kingdom, when they sent back the report, Zhou Xu also issued the latest order.
For the convenience of naming here, Zhou Xu temporarily named this area of the original Liang Kingdom's territory as the 'New North District', and the New World area where they were located was named the 'New South District'.
There is still a distance between the New South District and the New Taipei District. In order to ensure control of the New Taipei District, Zhou Xu made the following arrangements...
"Pass my order, Promoted Shi Lei to the rank of colonel and appointed him as the 'Commander-in-Chief of the New Taipei District', leading a large force to continue to stay in the New Taipei District, waiting for follow-up arrangements. "
"Feiyan City guard Zhuo Ge was also promoted to colonel, and his deputy Bai Tu was promoted to captain, and ordered them to lead the Feiyan City troops to withdraw."
"As for the subsequent deployment of new troops, they will all be handed over to Shi Lei, the commander-in-chief of the New Taipei District, is taking command!”
As soon as he received the order, not only was Zhuo Ge not dissatisfied, he could even say that he was eager to return home, wishing he could put on his wings and fly back to New Taipei! Southern District.
Because in the order given to him, Zhou Xu had directly told him that the Centaur mercenaries who had been missing had now fallen into their hands and were all being imprisoned in Blackstone City. In the recruit training camp between Xishan City and Xishan City, they were waiting for him to come back for recruitment.
Where can Drogo stay now?
Zhuoge and the others were all in Daliang City at that time. In order to return as quickly as possible, he took the direct route to Anling City. In this way, he could just pass by the recruit training camp there, collect the centaur mercenaries and return to Feiyan City.
After Zhuo Ge and the others left, three days passed. Outside Daliang City, a fast horse galloped all the way to the city.
The long journey along the way brought the soldier's physical condition and even his mental will to the limit. When he arrived at the city, his collapsed body could no longer exert any strength, and he fell off the horse. .
The movement outside the city made the defenders in the city feel nervous. They quickly opened part of the city gate and ran to confirm the soldier's condition.
"Which army are you from? What happened?!"
The fall from the horse knocked him to pieces, and his vision turned black. He held on to the last bit of consciousness and said those words...
"Pingyuan City fell. .”
After saying that, the soldier completely passed out.
Hearing the news, the city defense soldier was stunned. After being stunned for a full two seconds, he grabbed his colleagues who rushed out.
“Look after him!”
After saying that, he rushed into the city without looking back and reported the news to Shi Lei as quickly as possible.
Shi Lei, who confirmed the news, didn’t even have time to think about it. When he saw him, he made a prompt decision and quickly ordered...
"Quick! Send a cavalry team to arrest Zhuo Colonel Ge and the others are chasing them back! At the same time, another cavalry team is sent to conduct reconnaissance near Pingyuan City to confirm whether the information is true!"
Here, Shi Lei issued an order, and the two cavalry teams who received the order came with their own troops. The mission is about to start urgently, and we don’t dare to hesitate for a moment.
The soldier who brought the news had already passed out. He could not find out more information even if he wanted to ask.
Sitting in his office, Shi Lei tried to focus on the work in front of him after that, but the vague irritability in his heart made him unable to calm down.
Shi Lei has not felt this way for a long time since he was appointed by their majesty to take over an entire mountainous area and lead an army alone.
In Pingyuan City, in addition to the people in the city, there are also five hundred garrison troops from their Great Zhou Dynasty. I don’t know what the situation is at this moment.
At the same time, what kind of enemy attacked Pingyuan City made Shi Lei even more confused.
The soldier who brought the news woke up in the middle of the night. Shi Lei had specifically given an order to report to him immediately as soon as the other party woke up no matter what time!
Because of what happened during the day, Shi Lei couldn't sleep at all right now.
After learning that the other party had woken up, he rushed over immediately.
The other person fainted during the day, just because he was tired and hungry.
After he woke up, the kitchen had been cooking for him all night long. When Shi Lei arrived, the other party was sitting there devouring the food.
Seeing Shi Lei, the soldier quickly put down the bowl and planned to stand up and give a military salute.
"Sit down, no need to salute! I'm here to understand the situation!" After hearing this, the soldier obviously remembered the matter, and his entire face instantly became ugly.
This made Shi Lei even more anxious. He had a lot of questions to ask, but he knew that it was useless to throw all these questions at him. The other party needed to clear his mind.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Faced with this simple and clear question, the soldier slowly spoke...
"There are enemies that I have never seen before, appearing outside the city of Pingyuan."
"Their bodies are very similar to our human race, but they have green skin and two huge canine teeth. Like a beast!”
What this soldier described was a race they had never seen before, and they were invaded by a strange race!
This is the clearest idea in Shi Lei's mind at this time.
Following this preliminary conclusion, Shi Lei's doubts grew more and more. However, he did not interrupt the soldier's story, but remained patient and continued to listen.
"They appeared outside the city, and then launched an offensive directly towards Pingyuan City."
In the process of telling the story, all the events at that time emerged again, as if they were right in front of me...
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"
Looking at the group of green-skinned creatures roaring towards Pingyuan City outside the city, the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty standing on the sentry tower on the top of the wall sounded the alarm bell. Yelling wildly.
The soldiers of Dazhou who stayed behind in Pingyuan City immediately entered a fighting state, climbed to the top of the wall as quickly as possible, and looked outside the wall.
"Fuck! These people are neither humans nor ghosts. What the hell are they?!"
The ugly, burly and ferocious appearance of those green-skinned creatures really made them feel nervous.
"Visually there are thousands of troops on the other side."
"Calm down, we have five hundred troops stationed in the city, and the city gate has been repaired. If we defend the city, there shouldn't be a big problem."
While speaking, the green-skinned monsters outside the city had already approached to a certain distance. Following the order, the archers in the city immediately greeted them with volleys of fire.
However, the limited number makes it difficult for archers to attack in a large scale, which also greatly reduces their threat.
The green-skinned monsters outside the city quickly rushed to the city, and one of them, a particularly huge green-skinned monster, attracted their attention.
The morphological characteristics of that monster are basically the same as other green-skinned monsters, with the same green skin and the same turned-up canine teeth.
The difference is that he is bigger, fatter and stronger, probably about four to five meters tall by visual inspection, and has a single horn on his bald head.
Looking down, his arms are very long, hanging down past his knees. With his broad and thick palms, he is grabbing a pillar that looks like a battering ram, easily carrying it on his shoulders and moving forward. .
"Quick! Prepare the boulders and trees!"
"Smash them!!"
With the order, the boulders and trees that had been prepared long ago turned into the second weapon of the garrison. A round of offensive, hitting the green-skinned monster that had already reached the city.
Faced with the attack, the green-skinned monster seemed to be aware of it. He picked up the pillar in his hand with one hand and directly swept away all the boulders and wood that fell towards him.
After that, the green-skinned monster did not stop its offensive. The huge pillar seemed as light as nothing in his hand. He aimed at the city gate and smashed it crazily.
The terrifying force kept crushing it down, and the newly repaired city gate was soon overwhelmed, and the city gate collapsed to the ground!
