Chapter 1101 Departure
After leaving the forging department, Zhou Xu did not pause for a moment and immediately returned to the palace. While processing the documents that had accumulated during this period, he learned that following the fire The crystals were delivered together with sulfur as the main material of gunpowder.
There is no need for him to say more. At this moment, the gunpowder workshop has begun to prepare gunpowder and make explosive bombs.
Compared to the forging department, as long as the raw materials are in place in the gunpowder workshop, the entire production efficiency is quite high.
While busy, time passes quietly...
The temperature is rising, the ice and snow are melting, and the arrival of spring has brought a sense of urgency to everyone in Dazhou, including Zhou Xu.
According to the latest news, Boleven, located in Ceylon City, has now begun to assemble troops and is preparing to set off for the Northeastern Front.
At the same time, in Black Moon City, the enchanting work surrounding the Red Flame Saber encountered some minor troubles.
This latest enchantment mantra is more powerful, so the consumption of a single enchantment also becomes greater.
On normal days, the enchanters in the enchantment department can take their time, but now the situation is urgent! Where is the room for them to take their time?
As for himself.
Considering that a war could break out at any time on the Northeast Front, Zhou Xu would no longer consume his strength easily after returning to Black Moon City, putting himself in a position where he would be ready to fight at any time. A state of being able to attack.
In this way, Zhou Xu had no choice but to catch Teacher Wang Dongwang who was in class to help him in order to improve the efficiency of enchantment.
Wang Dong himself has no opinion on this.
Wang Dong is very satisfied with his life these years. In the process, he has been able to confirm that to a large extent, Zhou Xu is a person who does what he says and has a good character. .
In order to continue to live like this, Wang Dong naturally doesn't mind helping Da Zhou when he is in need.
And in the Enchanting Department, he still has the title of 'Honorary Minister'...
With the addition of Wang Dong, the 'Enchanting Master', the entire work of the Enchanting Department has The efficiency can be said to have increased exponentially, and a total of one hundred and three red flame swords were enchanted as quickly as possible.
The enchanted red flame sword was quickly sent to the military camp where the enemy was trapped.
After all, in today's Zhou Dynasty, apart from the trapped camp, there is no more suitable ace unit that can use this batch of enchanted weapons.
In the previous battle on the Northeast Front, the trapped camp suffered heavy casualties and was almost completely destroyed.
But I don’t know if it’s because all members of the trapped camp practice high-intensity martial arts on weekdays. Although they have not reached the Hundred Refining Realm, their muscles, bones, and muscles have also been tempered by the power of the mantra, plus he has given him blessings. With the blessing of this effect, out of the fifty-six seriously injured soldiers trapped in the camp, after a winter of recuperation, a full thirty-seven of them survived and recovered!
After that battle, the original number of soldiers was already less than a hundred, and the number of veterans returned to one hundred and sixteen.
Under this premise, it is obvious that the trapped camp has not been idle this winter.
Zhou Xu selected elites from each army to add them, replenished the trapped camp with 500 people, and then began training.
At this point in time, the new recruits who had just entered the trapped camp had not undergone much training and were about to go to the battlefield again.
The only fortunate thing during this period is that these recruits were all elites in the original army. When they arrived in the camp, although they only had a short training, their overall performance was not too bad.
Black Moon City is not far from Prairie City. One hundred and three red flame swords arrived at the military camp with Zhou Xu and Xie Liancheng.
The main force is still behind. In order to prepare for the coming battle, Zhou Xu asked the Military and Political Department to continue recruiting troops this winter.
A large-scale rotation of soldiers from other cities has also been carried out. Among the three thousand troops recruited now, there are one thousand veterans drawn from various places and two thousand recruits, in order to avoid pure The new recruits were defeated by a wave of greenskins on the battlefield.
"General Zhou Chongshan, please see your Majesty!"
"No courtesy!"
Without any nonsense, Zhou Xu directly picked up a brand new red flame sword and handed it to Zhou Chongshan, and then told He gave Zhou Chongshan a relatively simple password.
As the password was spoken, Zhou Chongshan felt an invisible force sweep directly through his body. This sudden situation made Zhou Chongshan tense up subconsciously.
"Your Majesty, this is?"
"This is an effect of the new sword."
While speaking, Zhou Xu told Zhou Chongshan his previous thoughts.
After listening to this, Zhou Chongshan suddenly realized.
"Your Majesty is wise! In this way, the threat to us after the weapon is lost will be greatly reduced."
After understanding the situation, Zhou Chongshan quickly distributed the red flame sabers that had just arrived to the soldiers trapped in the camp.
There is nothing much to say about the selection. Priority must be given to veterans who are trapped in the camp.
After all, the combat effectiveness of these veterans is not comparable to that of the new recruits who joined later.
After quickly distributing the equipment, Zhou Xu took the trapped camp and set off directly. No matter what, he first arrived at the northeastern border.
When they get there, whether they want to train for a while or directly use troops, the initiative is in their hands.
On the other hand, if you are dawdling on this side of the grassland and the greenskins take action first, but their troops have not arrived yet, then the situation will undoubtedly be passive.
In this way, getting to the front line first is the most important task.
At the same time, here on the northeastern border...
Compared with other regions, the winter in the Northeast is obviously longer. When other regions have clearly begun to warm up in spring, It's still as cold as winter here in the Northeast.
After Zhou Xu left, the border was generally peaceful.
But just recently, some Goblin Wolf Cavalry began to appear outside their border.
Obviously, no news has been sent back for nearly two months. No matter how stupid the other party is, they should realize that something is going on here.
The appearance of the Goblin Wolf Cavalry is obviously not a good sign for Li Ce.
This means that the leading troops on the opposite side have discovered their existence.
Li Ce, who confirmed the situation, did not hesitate and immediately wrote a letter and asked Xuan Yu to send it.
Compared to the homing pigeons that could only fly between two points and one line, Xuan Yu was undoubtedly much smarter. Halfway through the flight, he spotted Zhou Xu who was rushing to the border and landed immediately.
“Xuan Yu?!”
Seeing Xuan Yu appear, Zhou Xu’s heart suddenly sank.
He quickly took off the letter tied to Xuan Yu's feet and read it.
On that small piece of paper, there was one sentence written...
Goblin Wolf Cavalry appears at the border!
After seeing this sentence, Zhou Xu suddenly knew something.
"Notify all soldiers to hurry up!!"
