Chapter 1242 A Variety of Situations

It is no exaggeration to say that there were many problems in this march of the Smith Republic.

The troops of the Luosha Republican Party, led by Peter, undoubtedly had the most problems.

Over the years, Peter may have accumulated a lot of experience in underground activities, but he had basically no experience in marching, fighting and governing. In addition, the hardware and software of the Luosha Republican soldiers were not up to date, so the current result was completely predictable.

Zhou Xu could understand Peter's unwillingness to show weakness in the face of Fisher. After all, in the struggle between the two parties in the Smith Republic, the Luosha Republican Party was already at a disadvantage. If Fisher could get along well with them and the Saint Laurent Empire, he would basically have little chance of turning the tables.

But even so, Zhou Xu felt that it was a stupid decision for Peter to compete with Fisher and gather troops to go on the expedition at this point in time.

At this stage, the soldiers of the Luosha Republican Party did not have the strength to do so, let alone be prepared for it!

Of course, since it basically did not affect them, he was not interested in interfering in other countries' affairs. He still had this basic quality.

However, what Zhou Xu did not know was that during this process, Fisher and Peter were also very strange.

Due to the severe weather in the severe winter, their troops suffered constant injuries and continued to lose personnel. The female warriors were of demigod descent, and their physical fitness was far beyond that of humans. It would be fine if they were fine, but why was there no movement from the Great Zhou?

Fisher and Peter certainly could not know that the soldiers of the Great Zhou only looked like humans now.

The conscription test itself was a selection, selecting those with better physical fitness from the ordinary people, and these people, with the blessing of the "evolutionary leader", could often receive more blessings.

After joining the army, the food of the Great Zhou army provided them with sufficient nutrition, coupled with high-intensity training.

Now the physical fitness of every soldier of the Great Zhou is not comparable to that of ordinary human soldiers.

Of course, this does not mean that they will never get sick, but their immunity and adaptability have become stronger.

As long as they are not allowed to stay with a patient with an infectious disease for a long time, and only have a short contact, according to the current physical fitness of the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the probability of them being infected with the virus is very low.

Maintaining this state of affairs, a month passed quietly.

During this period, Fisher and Peter were also forced to reduce their personnel.

In this situation, because no one wanted to be caught by the enemy party in front of them and attacked, the patients on both sides experienced unprecedented humanitarian care.

Not only did they care about them very much, but they also left special personnel to take care of them and wait for the arrival of the logistics troops.

But this move undoubtedly led to a rapid reduction in their troops.

When they came out, the main combat force was 12,000. It hasn't even started yet, and the force has already rushed to 11,000...

This situation made Fisher quite bored, but he knew that he had to do this, otherwise Peter, that bitch, would use this point to attack him!

To a certain extent, Fisher and Peter also began to roll up invisibly.

A new day, a giant eagle knight flew quickly through the air.

During the process of the large army advancing, in order to ensure the safety of the march, the giant eagle knights of their Great Zhou and the Pegasus knights of the female warrior tribe will perform patrols in the air and open the way for reconnaissance.

Having just finished the exploration of the front area, the giant eagle knight came back as quickly as possible to report to Li Ce. Zhou Xu didn't care about such trivial matters during the march, and basically all of them were handled by Li Ce as the commander-in-chief.

"Report! Goblin wolf cavalry were found three kilometers ahead!"

With air units performing reconnaissance missions, many ambush troops' actions will be exposed.

"How many?"

"Estimated to be two thousand."

Hearing this number, Li Ce frowned immediately.

According to the efficiency of the large army, it is still about half a month away from the border of the Saint Laurent Empire.

At this position, as the attacking greenskin army, it is normal to arrange guard troops to patrol the periphery to ensure that no foreign enemies are approaching.

After all, they had to reserve time to report back and even mobilize the subsequent troops for support.

But the size of this alert force was very abnormal!

How could a troop of 2,000 be arranged to perform alert tasks?

Moreover, to perform alert tasks, they had to evacuate on a large scale to ensure the alert area. Such a large group of people was obviously waiting for them.

"We are exposed. The other side knew we were coming in advance."

Li Ce, who realized this, immediately thought of the Blood Hand Clan before. If it was the information provided by the Blood Hand Clan, then the other side would probably have been able to confirm their identities to a certain extent.

Following this line of thought, new questions quickly arose in Li Ce's mind...

[These two thousand Goblin Wolf Cavalry can't possibly want to ambush us? The Blood Hand Clan suffered a loss once before, will they suffer it again? ]

[But if the other side's purpose is not to ambush, but to delay time...]

[That's not right. According to previous intelligence, the Saint Laurent Empire is powerful. Now facing the joint siege of the Greenskin Royal Family and the Blood Hand Clan, it still has the power to resist. It is simply unrealistic to want to conquer the Saint Laurent Empire with that little time. ]

As his thoughts raced, Li Ce frowned and asked again.

"Is there anything suspicious nearby?"

"Suspicious..."

The Giant Eagle Knight thought about it and quickly said...

"There is a large forest farther away."

At that time, because the large-scale Goblin Wolf Cavalry was so eye-catching, the Giant Eagle Knight's attention was completely focused on them, and some other things were ignored.

Li Ce, who confirmed the news, suddenly looked depressed.

"The Blood Hand Clan knows that we have air units. In this case, why don't they use the large area of ​​forest land and let the Goblin Wolf Cavalry ambush outside?"

Hearing this, the Giant Eagle Knight was shocked...

"You mean, the Goblin Wolf Cavalry outside is just a bait to attract our attention, and there is a bigger ambush in the forest?!"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out, but there is no guarantee that the other party is not playing some tricks with us."

Li Ce was still cautious and did not make a rash decision.

"Pass my order, the whole army should remain alert, suspend the advance, and rest on the spot. I have to see His Majesty!"

"Yes!"
