Chapter 843 Green Monster

After successfully conquering Liang State, Zhou Xu also issued the latest order to this side while they sent back the report.

For the convenience of naming, Zhou Xu temporarily named this area of ​​Liang State's territory as 'New North District', and the New Continent area where they were located was named 'New South District'.

There is still a distance between the New South District and the New North District. In order to ensure the control of the New North District, Zhou Xu made the following arrangements...

"Pass my order to promote Shi Lei's military rank to colonel and appoint him as the 'New North District Commander-in-Chief' to lead the large army to continue to stay in the New North District and wait for follow-up arrangements."

"Feiyan City garrison commander Zhuo Ge was also promoted to colonel, and his deputy general Bai Tu was promoted to captain, and ordered them to lead the Feiyan City troops to withdraw."

"As for the new recruits to be dispatched later, they will all be handed over to the New North District Commander-in-Chief Shi Lei to command!"

As soon as Zhuo Ge received the order, he was not dissatisfied with it, and he could even be said to be eager to return home, wishing to grow wings and fly directly back to the New South District.

Because in the order given to him, Zhou Xu had directly told him that the missing Centaur mercenaries had now fallen into their hands, and were now all detained in the recruit training camp between Black Stone City and Xishan City, waiting for him to come back and recruit them.

Now, where could Drogo stay?

At that time, Drogo and his men were in Daliang City. In order to return as soon as possible, he directly borrowed the route of Anling City. In this way, he could just pass by the recruit training camp there, recruit the Centaur mercenaries, and then return to Feiyan City.

Three days after Drogo and his men left, a fast horse galloped all the way to the city outside Daliang City.

The long journey had brought the soldier's physical condition and even his mental will to the limit. When he arrived at the city, his exhausted body could not exert any strength, and he fell off the horse's back.

The movement outside the city made the defenders in the city nervous, and they hurriedly opened the city gate partially and ran to confirm the soldier's situation.

"Which unit are you from? What happened?!"

The fall from the horse made him dazed and dizzy. He held on to the last bit of consciousness and said that sentence...

"Pingyuan City has fallen."

After saying that, the soldier fainted completely.

The city defense soldier was stunned when he heard the news. After being stunned for two seconds, he grabbed his colleague who rushed out.

"Take good care of him!"

After saying that, he rushed into the city without looking back and reported the news to Shi Lei as quickly as possible.

After confirming the news, Shi Lei didn't even have time to think about it. He made a quick decision and quickly ordered...

"Quick! Send a cavalry squad to chase Colonel Zhuo Ge and his men back! At the same time, send another cavalry squad to conduct reconnaissance near Pingyuan City to confirm whether the information is true!"

Shi Lei's order was issued here, and the two cavalry squads that received the order set off urgently with their respective tasks, not daring to dawdle for a moment.

The soldier who brought the news had fainted at this moment, and he couldn't get more information even if he wanted to ask.

Sitting in his office, Shi Lei tried to focus on the work in front of him, but the vague irritability in his heart made him unable to calm down.

Since he was appointed by their majesty to take over an entire mountainous area and lead an army alone, Shi Lei hasn't had this feeling for a long time.

In Pingyuan City, in addition to the people in the city, there are also 500 garrisons of their Great Zhou, and they don't know what the situation is now.

At the same time, what kind of enemy attacked Pingyuan City made Shi Lei even more confused.

The soldier who brought the news woke up in the middle of the night, and Shi Lei specifically ordered that no matter what time, as long as the other party woke up, he should report to him immediately!

Because of what happened during the day, Shi Lei couldn't sleep at all at this moment.

After learning that the other party had woken up, he rushed over immediately.

The other party fainted during the day, purely because of tiredness and hunger.

After he woke up, the kitchen had already cooked for him overnight. When Shi Lei arrived, he was sitting there wolfing down the food.

Seeing Shi Lei, the soldier quickly put down his bowl and was about to stand up and salute.

"Sit down, no need to salute! I'll find out what's going on!"

Hearing this, the soldier obviously remembered something, and his face suddenly became ugly.

This made Shi Lei even more anxious. He had a lot of questions to ask, but he knew that it was useless to throw all these questions at him. The other party needed to sort out his thoughts.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Faced with this concise question, the soldier slowly spoke...

"There are enemies that have never been seen before, appearing outside the Plain City."

"Their body shape is very similar to our human race, but they have green skin and two huge canine teeth, just like beasts!"

What the soldier described was a race they had never seen before, and they were invaded by a strange race!

This was the clearest idea in Shi Lei's mind at this time.

Following this preliminary conclusion, Shi Lei had more doubts, but he did not interrupt the soldier's story. Instead, he remained patient and continued to listen.

"They appeared outside the city and launched an attack directly towards Plain City."

During the narration, everything that happened at that time resurfaced, as if it was right in front of him...

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"

Looking at the group of green-skinned creatures outside the city roaring and rushing towards the Plain City, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty standing on the sentry tower on the wall rang the alarm bell and roared wildly.

The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty who stayed in the Plain City immediately entered the combat state, climbed the wall at the fastest speed, and looked outside the wall.

"Fuck! What on earth are these people who are neither human nor ghost?!"

The ugly, burly but ferocious appearance of those green-skinned creatures really made them nervous.

"It is estimated that there are thousands of troops on the opposite side."

"Calm down, we have 500 garrisons in the city, and the city gates have been repaired. It shouldn't be a big problem to defend the city."

As he spoke, the green-skinned monsters outside the city had already approached a certain distance. Following the order, the archers in the city immediately greeted them with a volley.

However, the limited number made it difficult for the archers to attack on a large scale, which greatly reduced their threat.

The green monsters outside the city quickly rushed to the city, and one of them was particularly huge, attracting their attention.

The morphological characteristics of that monster were basically the same as the other green monsters, with the same green skin and the same raised canine teeth.

The difference was that he was bigger, fatter and stronger, probably four to five meters tall, with a single horn on his bald head.

Looking down, his arms were very long, hanging down over his knees, and his broad and thick palms were holding a pillar similar to a battering ram, which he easily carried on his shoulders and kept moving forward.

"Quick! Prepare the giant stone and wooden mace!"

"Smash it for me!!"

With an order, the giant stone and wooden mace that had been prepared long ago turned into the second round of offensive by the garrison troops, smashing hard at the green monster that had already walked to the city.

Facing the attack, the green monster seemed to be aware of it, and swung the pillar in his hand with one hand, directly sweeping away all the giant stone and wooden mace that were smashing towards him.

After that, the green monster's attack did not stop. The huge pillar seemed to be nothing in his hand. He aimed at the city gate and smashed it madly.

The terrifying force continued to crush down, and the newly repaired city gate soon couldn't bear the weight and fell to the ground!
