Throne of Vientiane Civilization

"Fire the arrow!"

After receiving the order, a round of arrows shot out from the inside of the fortress in a long parabola, blocking the continuous pursuit of the rat tide behind.

The fortress gate was closed, and the blue lizard sword and shield soldiers who were guarding behind the door used the most agile movements to clean up the influx of rat slave soldiers.

At the same time, Soros frowned deeply on top of the wall.

At this moment, the rat tide chasing after them was like a huge black wave, slamming hard on the gate of their fortress.

Soros was not worried about the strength of their gate.

In fact, the soldiers guarding behind the gate had already launched a counterattack without even needing to give an order.

I saw that the small windows arranged on the door quickly opened, and the shimmering spears pierced out from the small windows.

A large number of rat slave soldiers piled up outside the gate were stabbed through in an instant.

Even according to that density, a spear can penetrate the bodies of several rat slave soldiers in one blow.

Of course, this hand alone is not enough to contain the rat tide's offensive. At the same time, the commander on the opposite side cannot care about the life and death of the rat slave soldiers. Countless rat slave soldiers are still frantically moving towards this The edge came over.

"Wood, boulder! Smash it with me!!"

The order was issued, and the soldiers responsible for throwing down the huge wooden rocks took action at the same time.

The huge and heavy wooden boulder relied on the momentum of its fall. The moment it hit the ground, there was a 'bang' sound, and a large amount of blood splashed out from the bottom. It was unknown how many ratmen were killed.

But for the entire rat tide in front of us, this is still just a drop in the bucket.

The scale of the rat tide in front of him was a bit beyond Soros's initial expectations.

At the same time, unlike the Claw Clan's strategy of slowly consuming one wave after another, like boiling a frog in warm water, the opponent's ratmen attack at a faster pace.

After only two rounds of killing in the previous wave, the second, third, and even fourth wave of rats came forward, making the entire offensive extremely suppressive.

Although they had encountered similar methods when they first fought against the Claw Clan, they had a large force of more than four thousand at that time, and now the permanent strength of the Southern Fortress is only one thousand.

It had been too long since there had been a fight, and the soldiers' inability to regain their health was only one of the reasons. Just now, the spearmen were almost surrounded by a wave of rats and died on the battlefield outside the fortress. The huge gap in strength between the two sides was the biggest reason.

The rat tide just now was a quantitative change that brought about a qualitative change!

However, after retreating to the inside of the fortress, taking advantage of the city defense, the situation is still stable.

As for the follow-up actions, it depends on when the rear reinforcements arrive.

Even a pterosaur rider would need more time to fly back to the lizard people's tribe from the southern border.

By the time he brought the news to Bolevin, it was already several days later.

Bollevin frowned quickly after receiving the news. Obviously, he didn't expect that the rat man was so haunted!

"Send my order to assemble the permanent troops in the area and urgently support the southern fortress!"

In order to ensure strongholds throughout the territory, troops are undoubtedly stationed in various living areas, as well as strongholds and facilities in the southern border.

With the minimum number of troops left to maintain law and order, they were able to gather 1,500 troops in a short period of time and rush to the south. As for the follow-up troops, they had to rely on conscription.

Considering that the newly recruited recruits still need to be trained, it will take two or three months no matter how quickly.

In Zhou Xu's absence, as the current general person in charge of this area, Bo Levin has the power to directly recruit troops in emergencies and then make up the report.

At this time, he did not dare to delay at all, and issued the recruitment order as quickly as possible, and at the same time sent a report to their Majesty.

But no matter how fast they moved, it would still be a month from the time the war with the rat people broke out in the southern border to Zhou Xu receiving the report.

This was due to the fact that there were pterosaur riders in the southern region to deliver messages, and hot air balloons were used in the mountainous areas.

The reports from Soros and Bollevin were delivered to Zhou Xu almost at the same time.

Soros' report mainly talked about the appearance of rat troops outside the southern border and the opponent's offensive towards their border. At the end of the report, he also added some of his own speculation and analysis.

Bollevin's report focused on conscription and resource mobilization.

After quickly reading the two reports, Zhou Xu's overall mood was quite calm.

Facing the rat-men enemy, the lizard-men troops stationed in the southern border all year round are definitely the most reliable garrison force.

This is indeed the case. Soros and Bollevin had already handled the matter in an orderly manner before these two reports were delivered to them.

Even he couldn't make a better response at the moment.

Of course, this doesn't mean that he can't do anything.

While his thoughts were whirling, Zhou Xu casually opened the rank panel of his 'Dragon Lord'.

Since destroying the Claw Clan, he hasn't upgraded the items here much.

The need to consume too much mantra power for subsequent upgrade projects is just one of the reasons.

The main reason was that not long after, they started a war with Yan Sheng.

During the war, he may need to consume a lot of mantra power at any time to join the battle. For this reason, he must ensure his condition during this period.

Even if the mantra power in his body is full, he cannot consume the power upgrade items.

After the war, he was first busy testing new mantras, and later gave many mantras to assist in development. Then he directly began to conduct in-depth research on the mantras on his body, which has been almost seamless until now.

In fact, if these two reports are delivered tomorrow, the newly restored mantra power in his body will definitely have been consumed in tonight's mantra research project.

Now that the content of the report has been confirmed, even though Zhou Xu has great confidence in Soros and the others, out of caution, he still has to strengthen it when it is time to strengthen it.

To deal with the Ratmen, their core method is the spear array!

But it is a pity that the "Lizardman Spearman" does not exist in the "Dragon Lord" class panel.

There was no other way, so Zhou Xu could only upgrade other related arms as before.

The first thing that flashed through his mind was the Dragon Cavalry.

After all, in this era, compared to infantry, cavalry itself is an elite unit. At the same time, facing large-scale enemy forces, there is also the killing move of 'charge', which can form considerable lethality.

But in the end, Zhou Xu's choice was the less outstanding green lizard short spearman.

The reason is very simple. The Velociraptor Cavalry can only exert its combat power when it takes the initiative to attack, but when it defends the fortress, there is no room for it.

On the other hand, the green lizard short spear soldiers can be used in basically any situation, and they are also numerous in number. They are very versatile. In terms of overall performance, they are currently the first choice!
