Chapter 909 Reinforcements Arrive
Without saying anything, Zhou Xu first handed over the meditation technique to the elf knights headed by Silk.
Unlike ordinary cavalry, the elf knights' mantra method is an important part of their combat effectiveness, and it is used frequently on the battlefield.
After meditation, they can now practice mantra spells with a higher efficiency.
At the same time, this also gave Zhou Xu an idea.
[While I have become an extraordinary mage, can I still become a warrior in the Hundred Refining Realm through body refining? This is the so-called dual cultivation of magic and martial arts. 】
Zhou Xu thought carefully about this issue.
[The key problem is that the cultivation of both sides requires the consumption of mantras. When the power of mantras, time and energy are limited, if you want to take care of both ends, it is very likely that you will not be able to do both well in the end. 】
Similar questions like this can be considered a commonplace.
Zhou Xu did not dwell too much on this issue. He wanted to practice martial arts before, mainly because he wanted to become a transcendent being, thereby solving the problem of his own life span as a human being.
But now that he has done it, apart from basic health exercises, Zhou Xu has no more needs for martial arts training for the time being.
After all, he had no intention of going to the battlefield to charge into battle. As the supreme ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty, governing the country was his main job, and charging into battle was a matter for the generals.
The arrival of the autumn harvest season makes the whole week busy.
During this process, Zhou Xu also basically confirmed that after consuming nearly 70% to 80% of his mantra power, he had returned to his prime within a month!
Don't feel slow, because the total amount of mantra power in his body is also different from what it used to be. In the past, when it was consumed to this extent, it relied purely on natural recovery. If he wanted to return to his heyday, it would take at least two Month base.
At the same time, this is under the premise that he usually needs to work and can only recover through meditation during his rest time.
If he was asked to put down all his work and use meditation to recover wholeheartedly, Zhou Xu was sure to shorten the recovery time to less than fifteen days.
Of course, the premise is that he has not been severely consumed before. Overload will cause a serious decline in status, which will obviously affect the recovery efficiency.
Once you are overloaded, depending on the severity of the specific situation, it can last from three to five days to ten and a half months, and you will not be able to even slow down, let alone recover.
Only after this period of time has passed and you have gotten rid of the negative state caused by overload can you enter the recovery stage.
At the same time, outside the southern fortress, the rat men who had been peaceful for two seasons began to make moves as the seasons changed.
Having just dealt with a wave of rat-men harassment, Soros was sitting in his office, staring at the sand table in front of him in a daze.
The matter of turning from defense to offense and taking the initiative to eliminate the Ratmen has been postponed twice due to various accidents.
And this year, the same order has been sent to him in advance.
Although the plan could not keep up with the changes in the past two years, the boss kept changing his mind, which somewhat sapped Soros's energy.
"What are you thinking about?"
At this moment, Tash walked in.
Soros heard the sound and raised his eyelids.
“I’m wondering if we can send troops smoothly this time.”
“This autumn has not even passed yet, and you are already thinking about next year? You are thinking too early, right? ?”
However, Soros shook his head.
"It is said that it will be the beginning of next spring. In fact, if we are going to go on an expedition this winter, as soon as the ratmen who came to harass and consume them withdraw, considering the situation, we must immediately launch a pursuit and not give the opponent a chance to restore their strength. . ”
“It is even possible that after we seize an opportunity and directly inflict heavy damage on the rat army, we will immediately switch from defense to offense, just like we did when we dealt with the Claw Clan.”
"So the time left for us is not as long as we thought."
"And the expedition of a large force is a big event, so we must prepare early." Compared to the worried Soros, Tash was about to die There are many heartless people.
"I'm responsible for fighting anyway. I can't think about this kind of thing. Just tell me where to rush later."
He didn't want to move his mind at all.
Hearing this, Soros was speechless, but he didn’t say much.
At this stage, it is a good thing for Tash that he does not like to use his brain. This makes him the only voice in the southern garrison, making him more comfortable in command.
"What brings you here?"
"Oh, the reinforcements have arrived."
Hearing the word 'reinforcements', Soros quickly reacted.
Obviously, he received the news in advance.
Soros originally thought that His Majesty would send Li Ce to lead the army to support him, but he never thought that the person leading the army this time would be an unknown name called Bai Tu.
After receiving the news, Soros directly asked Zhou Chongshan, who had arrived earlier, with his name.
“Bai Tu. I don’t know much about him.”
Faced with this problem, Zhou Chongshan also told the truth.
"But His Majesty is very optimistic about him. His abilities and previous performance are pretty good, and he is quite efficient in doing things, but he has never fought any tough battles."
The concise and clear evaluation made Suo Suo very happy. Ross had a rough idea of it.
Now that he learned that reinforcements had arrived, Soros was also refreshed.
This time, His Majesty has increased his troops by four thousand!
Although two thousand of them are new recruits who have just finished training, there are also two thousand veterans who have been on the battlefield, which is definitely a powerful boost!
“Let’s go meet him.”
Although Bai Tu’s name is not well known here in Soros, he is still the commander of an army. Considering the four thousand troops under his command, Bai Tu For my own sake, I have to give him some face.
After walking out of the fortress, the two sides saw each other at a glance.
"Major Bai Tu, you have worked hard on this journey!"
"Colonel Soros is so polite, we are all working for His Majesty!"
He has been transferred to New South Wales since After the district, there were no wars for him to gain military exploits, unlike Li Ce. In the past two years, Soros had been fighting the Ratmen every autumn and winter, resisting the Ratmen's attacks. The accumulated military exploits allowed him to rise in military rank every year. Now, Already a colonel.
After a brief formality and exchange of names, Soros quickly entered the fortress with a large force headed by Bai Tu.
Since disembarking from the factory port, the concentration of lizardmen in the area has skyrocketed. Along the way, the large army led by Bai Tu has long been accustomed to the existence of lizardmen, and now there is nothing to make a fuss about.
Early the next morning, Soros called several major officers in the fortress to come over for a tactical meeting, including of course Bai Tu, who had just arrived yesterday.
The meeting began without making any fuss. After Soros briefly explained the current situation, he quickly got to the point.
"Recently, small-scale forces of ratmen have begun to appear relatively frequently near our fortress, launching harassment operations against us."
Speaking of this, Thoros paused and looked at us. Instead, it fell on Bai Tu.
"His Majesty mentioned in his letter that the new recruits should be given more opportunities to exercise. At this stage, the size of the force is not large. It is a good opportunity for the new recruits to accumulate experience. What do you think, Major Bai Tu?"
