Chapter 1058: Staying unchanged in response to all changes (2)
For a person whose mantra power is severely depleted, if he wants to recover as soon as possible, sleep and meditation are equally important.
In the absence of sleep, the quality of meditation will be significantly affected.
So instead of rushing to start meditating, Zhou Xu chose to sleep for four hours first.
Four hours later, before dawn, the Imperial Guard successfully arrived at the grassland pass.
After four hours of deep sleep, Zhou Xu's overall mental state was obviously much better.
"Silk, you should also rest. All subsequent defense tasks will be handed over to the Guards."
Although the Guards have just experienced the overnight journey, they At any rate, he has not fought with the greenskin troops and is in relatively good condition.
As professional soldiers, if the mission requires them to stay up all night, there will basically be no major problems.
After simply arranging this matter, Zhou Xu immediately started meditating against the clock.
At this stage, the strength of their army in this area is, to put it bluntly, this much.
If you want to increase the combat effectiveness of your troops, you can only wait for the reinforcements from Locke and the Lizardmen to arrive.
As for the conscription order issued by Zhou Xu before setting off...
Don't expect the newly recruited soldiers to be put to use immediately.
Even when fighting other human forces, they don’t use such sloppy tactics, not to mention that the opponents are greenskins with higher troop strength.
As soon as you are recruited, you immediately go to the battlefield. What is the difference between that and sending yourself to death?
No matter how low the requirements are, two months of basic training is still required.
Zhou Xu’s conscription order is not for the immediate battle, but for the subsequent battle!
The emergence of green-skinned troops in the northeastern region is enough to show that there must be some new situation that they don't know about here, and it is estimated that there will be no peace in the future.
With this in mind, whether it is the subsequent replenishment of troops, the defense mission after repelling the greenskin troops, retaking the lost ground, or even some military actions they may need to take later, it is necessary to More troops to support.
The purpose of recruiting troops now is to prepare for the future, not the battle in front of us.
After arranging the deployment of the Imperial Guards in the early morning, Zhou Xu meditated until noon.
After feeling that his meditation state began to decline, he temporarily ended his meditation, ate something, and asked about the latest situation. Next, he planned to take a two-hour nap before getting up to meditate again.
For him at this time, the two most important things are sleep and meditation.
After all, if a battle breaks out before the Lizardmen's reinforcements arrive, how much mantra power he has restored will directly affect the actual combat effectiveness of the troops here.
Throughout the day, the greenskin troops on the opposite side did not make any movement.
I don’t know if it was because of last night’s battle that they also needed time to rest and recuperate, or if the other side was preparing to repeat their old tricks and wait until nightfall to take advantage of night vision to launch operations...
Consider At this point, Zhou Xu simply adjusted the deployment of troops during the day so that more soldiers could rest more during the day to prevent possible battles at night.
During this process, Chitose, who had been sleeping since last night, was also woken up by hunger.
When Zhou Xu passed by, it was there eating its food with a pitiful expression.
After seeing Zhou Xu, it immediately struggled and ran over regardless of its injuries. In the process, many of the wounds that had just stopped bleeding and scabbed were torn open again, bleeding profusely.
But it didn't know it hurt, so it came up and rubbed its head against Zhou Xu's body. The pitiful look made Zhou Xu's eyes full of distress. "Don't move around, the wound is open."
While speaking, Zhou Xu touched Qiantose's head, and while comforting him, he also hurriedly Let it go back down.
During this process, Chitose was whimpering the whole time, looking like she had been wronged.
Thinking about it, Chitose's current injury can be said to be the most serious in history.
When it withstood Yan Sheng's 'lightning attack', its hair was only damaged, and certain scorch marks appeared on the surface of the flesh. At the same time, it was shocked and fainted due to the stimulation of the electric current.
On the other hand, this time, the ogre magic power was terrifying. During the struggle between the two parties, not to mention the visible flesh wounds on Chitose's body, several bones were broken under the skin and flesh. As for those bone fractures that they cannot detect for the time being, they must also exist.
At this moment, Zhou Xu can only let it move less. While avoiding further injuries, he prays that the recovery ability of extraordinary creatures can make it completely recover as before.
During the rest process, time passed quietly. As the sky gradually darkened, Zhou Xu, who had temporarily come to an end of meditation, made new adjustments to the entire defense and began to increase the number of troops deployed and increase the number of troops in the area. The number of braziers enhances nighttime defense.
During this period, Xuanyu flew back quickly.
Probably because he knows that the current situation is quite serious, this rebellious son has become more serious now, and he can also do something to help.
This can't help but make Zhou Xu feel like the child has finally grown up.
With Xuan Yu's gestures, Zhou Xu probably knew that the green-skinned troops on the opposite side were taking action.
Looking towards the wild field where he could no longer see his fingers, Zhou Xu had no intention of activating the mantra.
Neither the 'Eye of Insight' nor the 'Eye of Peeping Secrets' have night vision capabilities. His mantra power has not recovered much at the end of the day, so he should not waste that energy.
“Strengthen the alert, the greenskin troops may have moved nearby.”
After finishing the reminder, Zhou Xu continued to meditate.
For Zhou Xu at this time, let alone the green-skinned troops that had moved nearby, even if they were already in front of him, he could just meditate before officially launching the offensive.
Maintaining this state, time soon came to the second half of the night. After observing in the first half of the night, the greenskin troops had already arrived nearby. Now they could no longer wait. Finally, they launched an offensive towards the canyon pass again.
Under the cover of night, the sound woke up Chitose who was sleeping soundly.
"You continue to sleep first, there is no need for you to move for the time being."
Zhou Xu, who noticed the movement here, touched Qiantose's head.
During this period of time, the Imperial Guards responsible for setting up defenses at the canyon pass were already flying three rounds of fire arrows towards the night outside.
Under the illumination of the fire, a burly green-skinned soldier suddenly broke into their sight.
"WAAAAGH!!!!"
Without the ogres, the green-skinned troops felt significantly less oppressive, but this obviously did not affect their actions. The green-skinned soldiers While letting out a war cry, he charged directly towards the canyon pass.
Faced with this battle, Zhou Xu's voice sounded in the canyon...
"Spear formation, attack!!"
