Chapter 946 A crucial step
Using the advantage of the elf druid's transformation technique, Bai Tu took advantage of the danger of this wave of troops. Taking advantage of the border line, when the large forces of both sides were fighting, he led With a small force, they went deep into the Ratmen's territory and directly captured the Ratmen's frontline stronghold!
During this period, Sion, who maintained the transformation of the Black Panther, relied on his keen senses to open a path ahead, and got rid of the rat men before their eyes could spot them.
Bai Tu said that he contributed a lot and there was nothing wrong with him at all.
The Skaven were busy fighting the Lizardmen at that time, and the focus of the front line was there.
The team of ratmen arranged to patrol the rear found a black panther in the wild. Will they send a signal to summon the rat tide to come over for support?
Of course it’s impossible.
It affects the war on the front line, and it will be difficult for you to die when the time comes.
This gives Sion a chance to show off.
A small team of ratmen were basically vulnerable to him. After easily defeating several ratman teams along the way, he brought Bai Tu and the others to the entrance of the ratman's underground lair without any danger. contributed to this plan!
By the time the entwining vines grow in the rat-men's underground lairs, and the rat-men hiding inside want to take action, it will be too late.
The limited space underneath was quickly filled up by the twining vines, and the large number of rat men inside had nowhere to hide. They eventually became nutrients that promoted the growth of the twining vines, making the twining vines grow faster.
During this process, the rat-man's underground lair collapsed. The rat-men who were hiding inside and had no time to come out were naturally killed or injured.
During this period, after the frontline rat tide collapsed, the lizardman troops headed by Thoros also advanced quickly and quickly joined Bai Tu and the others.
At this moment, looking at the large collapsed land in front of him, Soros didn't have much surprise on his face.
As early as when the Talon Clan was wiped out, he had seen many such battles.
It’s just that at that time, they used shield beasts to destroy the underground lairs of the rat men, but now they have become the magical means of the wood elf mages.
With the continuous development internally, and during the long-term war with the rat-men, the lizard people also gradually realized that the movement efficiency of the shield beasts was too low.
If they bring shield beasts, their attacking rhythm will be greatly restricted.
After all, in the old civilization period, the shield beast itself was not their military unit, but a resource unit.
It's just that before they lacked effective means of destroying the Ratman's underground lair, so they had no choice but to carry it with them all the time. But now, they undoubtedly have a better choice.
"Tash, take the Velociraptor Cavalry and Green Lizard Spearmen down to clean up."
After receiving the order, Tash led the team without saying a word. past.
Facing the area where the terrain became uneven, complicated and difficult to walk after the collapse, the speed dragon cavalry led by Tash walked on flat ground, showing that the conventional cavalry did not have it at all. , efficient mobility in complex environments.
At the same time, the green lizard short spearmen also showed their flexibility, quickly rushed in, and began to finish off the ratmen inside.
During this period, the human troops headed by Bai Tu also acted in cooperation.
Assist the Lizardmen troops to carry out blockade patrols on the periphery and hunt down those fish that slip through the net and try to escape.
The entire follow-up operation went quite smoothly.
Soros and Bai Tu were not in a hurry to carry out follow-up progress.
Instead, he turned around and found a suitable area nearby and began to build a frontline camp.
For this expedition, they will definitely need logistical support. For this reason, they also need a frontline camp that is reliable enough to allow them to stockpile supplies.
Therefore, taking down the border stronghold of the Corrupt Clan is a crucial step for the southern troops going out!
Then they rested for almost ten days and completed the construction of the frontline camp, and then the large force began to advance forward.
At the same time, a big event is happening in Zhou Xu's side, that is, Zhou Xu, as the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, will officially return to the capital, Black Moon City!
Previously, due to transportation problems and development needs, he had to stay in the palace in Xianyang City for a long time to handle government affairs.
But in fact, Xianyang City has never been his capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he never said this. Black Moon City is his base camp.
After the opening of the waterway, Black Moon City's geographical advantage was further highlighted. From that time on, Zhou Xu had already begun preparing to return to his capital.
It’s just that there is no building like a palace over there in Black Moon City.
Previously, Zhou Xu felt that it was not necessary and that the labor force might as well be used on serious construction projects.
But now he has changed his mind and found that the palace is still useful.
It is not only to provide yourself with an environment with complete facilities and to handle government affairs and life with peace of mind, but it is also related to the image and face of the country.
If they, the Great Zhou Dynasty, continue to develop, they will inevitably interact with other forces in the future.
It’s impossible to just ignore certain forces and just fight them, right?
He is not a war maniac.
Taking the previous dwarves as an example, they could obviously try to establish diplomatic relations with each other.
At that time, it is inevitable to meet the other party’s mission.
Considering this, as the supreme ruler of the Zhou Dynasty, if he lived in a small house and received envoys when they came, would that be decent?
Even before we met, we were already losing momentum.
For this reason, Black Moon City had already started building the palace after the waterway was opened, and it will be officially completed before the spring of this year.
After confirming the news, Zhou Xu made simple arrangements for things in Xianyang City and then officially boarded the ship back to Black Moon City.
It has been a long time since they built large ships in Dazhou and put them into use for water transportation, but this was the first time for Zhou Xu to ride on them.
Looking at the huge sailing ship in front of me, it feels very fresh.
Compared with the bumps on the carriage, the feeling of riding on a big boat and riding the wind and waves is quite good.
At this moment, Zhou Xu was also fresh and full of energy. He stood directly on the bow deck of the ship, looking at the surrounding green mountains and sparkling lake, blowing the warm spring breeze, and seemed quite comfortable.
When I got tired of standing, I sat down on the deck chair and basked in the sun for a while. It was a rare feeling of being on vacation.
During this period, as his important right-hand men in daily government affairs, Huo Qubing and Li Bowen naturally followed him to Black Moon City.
In addition, there are also his personal regiment on the ship, as well as three concubines from the harem and some maids who serve them.
This is the first time for everyone to take a boat ride.
This also makes the boat really lively now.
