Chapter 940 Decision
Considering from a cautious perspective, it is best to wait until spring.
But in this case, according to the efficiency of the rat men's troop production, their advantage gained through a tough battle will probably be greatly reduced.
This is a multiple-choice question with pros and cons. No matter which choice you make, it has advantages and disadvantages.
And it is precisely because of this that it causes headaches and tangles.
The lizardmen are an important force in his hands, and more importantly, they are very loyal, which makes their status in Zhou Xu's heart even higher.
Let them take the risk of destroying the group and launch an offensive in winter. Zhou Xu really couldn't make the decision.
In the end, we decided to be cautious and wait until the temperature began to rise in late winter or early spring before officially launching troops.
They have just fought a tough battle, and the condition of the southern garrison is not good. They just need the past few months of winter to make a thorough adjustment.
In addition, it can also better ensure the stability of the southern border.
After all, it was also mentioned in the report that some ratmen had escaped into their southern territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it was not yet certain that they had been completely wiped out.
On Zhou Xu's side, after the matter was completely finalized, Soros, who received the order, also knew what he was doing, and at the same time began to arrange troops to further expand the search scope.
There is only one goal, and that is to deal with all the rat people who have escaped into their southern territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty before they mobilize their troops!
In the next period of time, the Southern Fortress will probably be busy.
During this period, Zhou Xu, who was in Xianyang City, felt at ease.
There is no war in any part of the territory at the moment, and they only need to be busy with internal development.
From a ruler's perspective, he wishes that days like this could last forever.
On a new day, Zhou Xu got up early as usual.
After simply finishing his morning exercises and eating breakfast, he did not go to the Qinzheng Palace as usual, but turned around and left the palace, riding a carriage towards the west gate of Xianyang City. Go.
The westernmost part of Xinnan District is Feiyan City. The area from Xianyang City to Feiyan City is a large plain grassland.
The only racecourse in Xinnan District is here.
Although it is basically impossible to produce war horses, it is still excellent for use in transportation and farming.
In general, it can be called an important industry.
However, Zhou Xu came here not to visit the racecourse, but to visit the new facilities recently built here.
Unlike the racecourse close to Feiyan City, this facility is close to Xianyang City.
After about ten kilometers from the west city gate, they arrived at the place.
The staff here undoubtedly received the news in advance. When Zhou Xu stepped off the carriage, they all stepped forward to salute.
"See Your Majesty!"
"Excuse me."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu's eyes crossed the crowd and fell on the building in the distance.
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary shed, with a large number of shelves of different heights standing outside.
But the things in this shed are extraordinary.
Walking inside, the four giant eagles with full wings immediately caught Zhou Xu's eyes. Needless to say, the facilities here are used to tame these four giant eagles!
After growing for a period of time, these four giant eagles now stand on the scaffolding with both feet, and their height is already forty or fifty centimeters. Each one of them looks quite handsome.
Unlike Xuan Yu, the rebellious son, who has grown up for so long, has become as big as a crow, and even looks like a crow. Every day, he either wants to 'assassinate' him or play tricks on him.
When he thought of this, Zhou Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and he felt very melancholy.
The only reason is that when he raised a Chitose, he had a great experience, but now the gap is really big.
Just as he was thinking this, a black shadow flew in from outside, flapped its wings, and landed on Zhou Xu's head.
It was as if he had returned to his own bird's nest. The movement of folding his wings and squatting down was so smooth that black lines all over Zhou Xu's head suddenly fell down.
There was a moment of dead silence in the atmosphere, and then the staff at the training farm acted like they were 'looking at their noses, and their noses are watching their hearts', pretending they didn't see anything.
The person in charge of the training farm here is the keeper who was responsible for feeding the four young eagles in the palace. Naturally, he knows that Xuan Yu is not an ordinary bird, but an extraordinary creature!
As soon as Xuan Yu came in, the four giant eagles that were originally very noisy suddenly became quiet.
In other words, they became nervous. One by one, as if they had been punished to stand, they stood there motionless, with their eyes glancing in the direction of Xuan Yu from time to time.
One of the giant eagles, with a blinding gaze, happened to collide with Xuan Yu. At that moment, the entire body of the giant eagle trembled visibly.
All I can say is that he is indeed a born extraordinary creature.
Even strange beasts like giant eagles will be obviously suppressed.
But Zhou Xu didn’t care whether it was an extraordinary creature or not, he reached out and grabbed it directly above his head.
His movements were not very fast. Looking at the grasping palm, Xuanyu could definitely dodge, but he probably knew that his old father would not do anything to him. What, so it simply didn't bother to move, and just looked at the hand grabbing itself.
When Zhou Xu caught it in front of him, Xuan Yu blinked his big black eyes at Zhou Xu, looking innocent and obedient.
Zhou Xu was speechless and poked its head with his finger as a warning, then threw it aside.
As soon as he took off, Xuan Yu spread his wings, landed firmly on the shelf beside him, and then combed his feathers.
Looking at the other party's appearance, Zhou Xu felt a little tired.
It’s not like this traitor doesn’t understand! The intelligence of extraordinary creatures is not low, and Xuanyu's intelligence is even comparable to that of humans.
In this case, it is impossible for it to not understand what it means.
But this traitor is a rebellious person, and he wants to do this. The main thing is to be confident, but Zhou Xu can't do anything about it.
Who makes people become extraordinary creatures? And it can fly.
To a certain extent, it is simply invincible.
After glaring at the traitor with a warning look, Zhou Xu's eyes fell back on the four giant eagles in front of him.
Although it is still early to be able to ride, some initial obedience training can already be done, and the training items at each stage are also different.
When the giant eagles need to start training, it would be inappropriate to continue to arrange them inside the palace.
So Zhou Xu specially designated a place outside the city as a training ground for them, and used the contents recorded in the wood elf scrolls to build this facility specifically for taming giant eagles.
