Chapter 982 Frontline Battle Report
At the desk in Qinzheng Hall, Zhou Xuzheng was carefully looking at the latest report sent by the southern garrison.
The very beginning of the report directly stated that they had won the battle, which made Zhou Xu feel quite good from the beginning.
Continuing to look down, the most troublesome problem now is undoubtedly that a large number of ratmen have fled in all directions.
Zhou Xuguang knew in his head that the subsequent round-up manhunt would be a time-consuming and labor-intensive trouble.
In the intelligence, they also mentioned the huge evil demon. They had mentioned it before, but Zhou Xu didn't take it too seriously.
Because they can handle it.
When he received the news, the evil spirit had been eliminated by them, so what else did he have to care about?
However, it is not difficult to see from this report that it is still a bit tricky to increase the demon's strength.
This time, on the front line, two extraordinary mages, Bolaiwen and Locke, took turns leading the group of wood elf mages. Finally, they added Zhou Chongshan, a warrior of the Hundred Refining Realm, to perform last-ditch attacks. Only then did they succeed. Consume it to death.
As long as their high-end combat power is reduced even a little bit, the devil's troublesomeness will be doubled.
And without high-end combat power like Boleven, the existence of evil spirits would have reached an almost insurmountable level.
Of course, this is just a speculation made by Zhou Xu based on limited information at this stage.
The demon may have other weaknesses, but they haven't discovered them yet.
But in any case, the above information is enough to show that the upper limit of the evil demon is not low. Even after being summoned, it can continue to grow itself by devouring living creatures.
However, in contrast, the demon's IQ is obviously limited, and it seems to have no negative emotions such as fear. In a weak state, it does not know how to escape, but only knows how to fight.
Combined with this information, the image of a mindless war machine basically emerged.
At the same time, according to Soros's analysis, combined with the limited information provided by Bolevin and Locke, it can be determined that the evil demon was summoned through some evil sacrificial ritual, after devouring a large number of sacrifices. A special energy body formed by the combination.
But this does not seem like a method that the rat people would have.
In other words, during the long battles between the rat men and their lizard men in the past, they did not show such war methods.
Under this premise, Soros specifically mentioned in his report that the series of actions and combat style of the opposing ratmen this time were completely different from those shown in the past.
"Big change in style. Sacrifice ceremony..."
The tactical style issues mentioned by Soros cannot actually be used as substantive evidence, but combined with the evil sacrifice The ceremony also made Zhou Xu thoughtful.
【You still have to be careful about this matter and pay attention to it in the future. 】
At this moment, the evil spirit has finally been solved, and at the same time, they do not have any more intelligence information to assist him in analyzing and speculating on this matter.
In this way, it is useless to continue to struggle with a problem that is definitely not clear.
Read on. At the end of the report, Soros certainly did not forget their latest findings.
【A huge saltwater lake where the pterosaur rider can't even see the end of it while flying in the air? 】
After seeing this sentence, Zhou Xu had a subtle expression on his face.
【Damn it, have you found the sea? ! 】
The Qingshui Lake on their side of Black Moon City is already big enough, but from a distance, it can be clearly seen that it is surrounded by green mountains, so that it is not impossible to see the end at a glance. A saltwater lake that allows pterosaur riders flying in the air to see the end of the lake?
Other than the sea, Zhou Xu really couldn’t think of anything else.
It’s just that the lizard people have never seen the sea and mistakenly thought it was a huge lake.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu couldn't help but feel funny.
After reading the entire report, Zhou Xu closed it and put it aside.
After adjusting his thoughts a little, he spread out a blank piece of animal skin paper and began to write about the rewards for the southern troops.
The entire reward system was drawn up by him. If it was just a simple military rank and gold and silver rewards, he basically didn't have to think about it and could just start writing.
[The first contributors to this battle must be Bo Levin, Locke and Zhou Chongshan. 】
[Bolewen's current position is the state church bishop in the rainforest area, and he has no military affairs. This time it is regarded as a military exploit, so he will skip the rank of lieutenant and be named a major. 】
They had never had a situation like this before the Great Zhou Dynasty, and their military ranks were basically one level at a time.
It is no exaggeration to say that he was promoted to the rank of major immediately.
But there is nothing we can do. Judging from the situation described in the battle report, Bolevin's contribution in this wave is greater even compared to Locke and Zhou Chongshan. He is awarded the title of captain. It doesn't make sense, the major is already the result of Zhou Xu's control.
Under this premise, Zhou Xu will naturally not be stingy with rewards in terms of gold, silver, fine wine, and silk.
Locke is in a similar situation, but he is different from Bolevin. Locke's only legal status in Dazhou before was that of a Dazhou citizen. Zhou Xu made an exception and allowed him to go to the front line with the Wood Elf Mage Group.
To put it bluntly, he is just an ordinary person.
In response to this situation, as soon as Zhou Xu came up, he directly wrote, "Combine Locke as a royal mage and give him the rank of captain." ’
Royal mage is undoubtedly a position specially created for him by Zhou Xu.
To put it simply, it can be understood as a senior position in the personal mage regiment. According to Zhou Xu's current thinking, only extraordinary mage who possesses the strength of the extraordinary realm and has established enough merits can be canonized. The royal mage of their great Zhou Dynasty.
As for Zhou Chongshan, he was directly promoted to the rank of colonel.
The same goes for Soros and Bai Tu, who performed well as commanders during this period. They were all promoted to one rank, with Soros promoted to senior colonel and Bai Tu promoted to lieutenant colonel.
If there are several officers with the rank of colonel in their Zhou Dynasty, then there is only one serious officer with the rank of colonel at this stage!
After this battle, Soros can be said to have become the highest-ranking officer in their Great Zhou Dynasty.
Zhou Xu had no idea about this. After all, Thoros was in charge of the southern fortress, fighting against the Ratmen all the year round, and receiving numerous military exploits every year. It was natural for him to have this military rank.
At the same time, he is not worried that Soros will continue to rise, and in the end he will be unstoppable.
Because this thing will never happen.
From the intelligence point of view, that area has now been pushed to the seaside. Since he has no plans to go to sea for the time being, there is obviously not much military merit left for Soros.
If nothing else happens, in the next few years, there may be no need to consider Soros’ military rank.
