Chapter 860 Delayed Information (Part 2)
After Silk went out to do business, a pigeon letter arrived from Green Forest City.
After confirming the content of the letter, Zhou Xu learned that Drogo and his team had successfully recruited the centaur captives. This should have been a good thing, but at this time, Zhou Xu couldn't be happy at all.
Green-skinned creatures appeared in the New North District and occupied the Plain City. If Drogo and his team were still in the New North District, they would definitely play an important role as a combat force.
However, the centaurs led by Drogo rushed back non-stop because of his transfer order.
Zhou Xu's blood pressure rose when he thought of this.
Indeed, unless he could predict the future, no one could predict this kind of emergency in advance, but this did not affect Zhou Xu's irritability at all.
Zhou Xu exhaled heavily, adjusted his mood, and then sat back at the desk and wrote another letter.
"Send this letter directly by carrier pigeon to Green Forest City, to Colonel Drogo."
"Yes!"
If you think optimistically, it is a good thing that Drogo returned to the New South District first and recruited the Centaur prisoners. At least now they can directly mobilize the Centaur forces together.
According to the current situation, let Drogo go to Anling City with Li Ce to wait for orders.
Subsequent actions will have to wait for the messenger to arrive and learn more details before making them, and wait for the reply from the Wood Elves.
The delay in intelligence has already added a lot of uncertainty to this matter. If he makes a large-scale mobilization without understanding anything now, it will be easy to make more mistakes. He still has to be patient.
At the same time, the Elf Knight who received the warrant galloped all the way and arrived at the Wood Elves Village at the fastest speed and met the Wood Elves Chief Locke.
"Green-skinned creatures..."
The intelligence brought by the Elf Knight this time can only be said to be a bit too general. Apart from these four words, there is no more information, which made Locke a little confused for a while.
"I have no idea about this green-skinned creature for the time being. There is no problem with the aid. It's just that the young and strong people in our tribe are basically working in Green Forest City. I'm afraid I have to go to Green Forest City to gather the tribe members."
Speaking of the latter, Locke was really a little melancholy.
That bunch of bastards forgot where their home was after entering the city, and they haven't come back for several months.
In the past, Locke didn't think how long these months were. For their elves, this time was just a blink of an eye?
But since the young people in the village went out to work, Locke was thinking about those stinky boys every day, and these few months really felt a bit long.
On the contrary, those stinky boys seemed to have escaped from death, and now it's hard to see them.
During this period, the messenger with urgent military information finally arrived in Xianyang.
Zhou Xu's face was obviously uncertain when he opened the emergency military report written by Shi Lei.
The whole situation was much worse than he expected. Those green-skinned creatures almost broke through Pingyuan City in a crushing manner.
Although there were only 500 garrisons in Pingyuan City at that time, and most of them were recruits, it was not difficult for Zhou Xu to feel the strength of the green-skinned creatures from the specific description. That was not a special race that could be measured by common sense!
Zhou Xu took a deep breath and continued to read down.
The most critical person in this situation was actually Shi Lei.
After all, he was the only one who knew the whole situation and could respond in time at this stage.
At the same time, Shi Lei could not be unaware of the lag in the transmission of intelligence between the two places. For this reason, he had to make a whole plan deployment in advance and let the messenger bring the plan back.
Only in this way could Zhou Xu, who was in the rear, understand his ideas and make arrangements around his plan and cooperate with him.
Just as Zhou Xu thought, Shi Lei wrote down his entire plan and ideas at the end of the report.
From transferring the population to Anling City, to preparing to abandon the entire Xinbei District and retreat, to the entire idea of counterattack, Zhou Xu's heart slowly calmed down as he gradually understood Shi Lei's entire plan.
It must be said that Shi Lei is still prudent.
Even if the territory is gone, we can still fight again in the future. What is important is the population, and the population is the power of development!
In this wave, as long as the population of Xinbei District can be successfully transferred, Zhou Xu can directly abandon Xinbei District.
And now, what he needs to do is to send a troop first, and while taking over the population of Xinbei District, he is also ready to receive the large troop that withdraws at any time.
Under this premise, send another team to confirm the situation on the front line in order to carry out subsequent mobilization.
After sorting out his thoughts, Zhou Xu quickly issued the subsequent orders.
At the same time, in Green Forest City...
Due to the request for help from the Great Zhou, it was necessary to gather the tribesmen. After that, Locke followed the elf knight and the diplomat directly to Green Forest City.
According to the current season, after dark, the temperature has become relatively cold. Locke covered himself with a quilt and went to bed early.
Just when he was about to fall asleep, Locke suddenly remembered something and opened his eyes suddenly.
"Oh my gosh! Green-skinned creatures, green-skinned! I thought I heard it somewhere before, I remembered it!"
Although the elves are casual by nature, Locke obviously knows that this matter is urgent. After remembering it, he dared not be vague at all and immediately ran to contact the elf knights and diplomats during the day.
"I remember that when I was a child, my grandfather told me a story about a race called 'greenskins'!"
When Locke was a child? That must have happened hundreds of years ago, so it's no wonder that the other party couldn't remember it all at once.
The elf knight who heard that quickly became serious.
Because he knew that the storytelling of the elves was different from that of humans. The stories told by the elves were actually closer to telling history, which was a historical event centered on their ethnic group.
"After all, this happened too long ago, so I just talked about whatever I thought of."
After all, this happened hundreds of years ago. Although Locke remembered such a thing, he couldn't guarantee how clearly he could remember it.
"The greenskins first appeared during the war of the old civilization. Just like the name of their tribe, their skin is all green."
"They have a very special method called 'WAAAGH!!! Stand'. They will make a 'WAAAGH!!!' cry, but this is not just a cry, but a very special mantra method, which is stimulated by this roar."
At this point, Locke's face showed distress.
"The effect and mechanism of this method are very complicated. Simply put, it can comprehensively improve the strength of the greenskins."
After that, Locke also tried to give a more specific explanation of this 'WAAAGH!!! Stand', and then found that he didn't know much, and what he knew was very limited, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
At the end, even the elven knights and diplomats were confused.
But no matter what, they still recorded all the information provided by Locke, and then sent it to their majesty as quickly as possible.
