Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1042: Unexpected Northeast Region

Meanwhile, in New Taipei City...

At this moment, the border defense forces of the Plains Fortress have completely recovered from the previous battle with the greenskin troops.

All relevant post-war work has also been completed.

During this period, compared to ordinary soldiers, as the number one general in the fortress, Li Tie does not need to train with ordinary soldiers.

At this moment, he was in a small independent training ground, holding two throwing axes and practicing his throwing axe skills.

Although he spoke of the battle with the green-skinned general as being relaxed after the battle, only he himself knew how thrilling the actual situation was.

The greenskins on the opposite side were all fearless and brave. At that time, the greenskin general cut off his arm to survive, and his movements were so smooth.

Li Tie originally thought that the opponent would run away. For a human being, this is normal inertial thinking.

Who knew that those greenskins were so mentally unstable that they didn't even know how to write the word "run". They just rushed forward without thinking, wanting to kill him.

Fortunately, a few years ago, when Jie Liancheng was still here, he often sought advice from Jie Liancheng. Compared with his early years, both his skills and combat acumen have improved a lot.

In addition, he also learned from Zhou Chongshan and practiced the techniques of throwing weapons.

After all, anyone who has witnessed Zhou Chongshan’s battles will find that this guy is extremely agile when it comes to flying and throwing techniques.

No matter what he held in his hand, whether it was a sword, a gun, a stick, an axe, a hook, a fork, or a shield, he could always hit it accurately and even do some tricks.

When Li Tie saw it, he was also yearning for it and started practicing it.

Under this premise, Li Tie has a relatively clear self-awareness of himself. Unlike Zhou Chongshan, he cannot be proficient in all weapons. Under this premise, if he has to say that he has any advantage, it is that he is strong.

Following this line of thought, the relatively heavy throwing axe became his first choice among throwing weapons.

He was very strong to begin with, and with his flying axe, which had strong enough killing power, if he could successfully hit the enemy with this axe, the enemy would be half-crippled even if he didn't die.

Of course, it is beautiful when you think about it, but the process of practicing it is quite painful.

Li Tie had to admit that if one wanted to master the technique of throwing weapons, it really required some talent.

Especially on the battlefield, you have no time to aim, or even think. The moment you shoot, you rely entirely on your intuition and techniques that are almost instinctive.

This made Li Tie want to give up halfway.

If you feel that you are not cut out for it, you might as well just concentrate on practicing your three tricks.

And now, Li Tie just feels fortunate that he did not give up but persisted.

Given the situation on the battlefield at that time, if it weren't for the two flying axes blocking that attack, the opponent would definitely have launched a full-scale attack on him, and he would also lose the opportunity to pick up the crystal iron battle axe.

Once you fall into that kind of situation, even though the opponent has a broken arm and is holding a broken knife, he is empty-handed and doesn't even have a weapon to defend himself. Naturally, he will be in great danger.

Whenever he thought of this, Li Tie would feel a lingering fear.

This also allowed him to further increase the proportion of throwing axe training in his daily training.

Holding his breath, Li Tie simulated an actual combat situation, pulled out two throwing axes from his waist at the fastest speed, and threw them towards the human-shaped wooden stake in the distance with swift movements.

One of the throwing axes scraped the shoulder of the human-shaped wooden stake, causing it to shake, while the other throwing axe completely missed the target.

This result made Li Tie couldn't help but sigh.

He felt that he had hit a bottleneck, or that he couldn't find his form, and no matter how he practiced, he made no progress. Unfortunately, the person who was the best at throwing weapons in their Great Zhou was now far away in the grassland, so he couldn't ask for advice even if he wanted to.

Just when Li Tie was feeling melancholy, a soldier beside Shi Lei ran over quickly.

"Major, His Majesty's reward has arrived! The colonel wants you to come over!"

Hearing this, Li Tie quickly put down the flying axe in his hand and rushed over.

After that, they were familiar with the whole process.

When Li Tie heard that their Majesty had rewarded him with the latest Red Flame Battle Axe, and that it was forged personally by Li Gan, the Minister of the Forging Department, his eyes suddenly lit up.

After all, he is a military general. Under this premise, Li Tie is better at infantry combat than cavalry combat, which also makes him more enthusiastic about weapons.

Zhou Xu’s reward was a good one.

For the next period of time, their Great Zhou became peaceful.

Even though the Southern Fleet is facing the endless vast ocean, it is now mainly focused on patrolling its own waters and conducting naval combat training. It has no intention of exploring outward, and its main focus is on stable development.

In comparison, in the Northeast region, there are a few more things to do, such as sweeping the primitive tribes in the area every now and then.

In fact, if Jie Liancheng hadn't been so idle there, Zhou Xu would have been too lazy to sweep the primitive tribe over there.

Nowadays, the primitive tribes in that area have almost been wiped out by Jie Liancheng.

Zhou Xu didn’t care much about those small pieces of tribal territories in the past.

As a result, over the past few years, by putting those small pieces of territory together, there really is some sense of accumulating little by little to make a big one.

In the northeast region, the territory of their Great Zhou has expanded a lot further.

At this stage, according to the size of the territory there, if they want to occupy it well, building a city has become a more urgent matter. A few camps and border outposts alone are not enough.

But the problem is where should he transfer people from?

There is usually not much extra labor, and now it is autumn and the people are busy with spring farming, so there is no way of transferring extra manpower.

Not to mention that after the incident when the Plain Fortress was attacked by the greenskins last winter, Zhou Xu and his men also realized that the greenskins are also a force that will come out to plunder food before winter. Therefore, during this period of time, the vigilance at the Plain Fortress must be appropriately strengthened to avoid any accidents.

Zhou Xu is currently having a headache surrounding this series of events.

And it was at this point in time that urgent alarm sounds echoed over the border outposts in the northeastern region of their Great Zhou.

This made the staff in the base look a little dazed.

They have been working here for some years, but this is the first time they have encountered a situation like this.

It was not until the voices shouting "enemy attack" repeatedly entered their ears that they finally reacted.

"What the hell! Enemy attack?!"

It was an almost instinctive reaction, but there was a hint of disbelief in it.

According to their thinking, where did this primitive tribe come from that would be so ignorant of the danger as to dare to attack the border camp of their Great Zhou?
During this period, outside the border, Xie Liancheng, who was riding on a horse, led a group of people and was looking at the troops approaching this side in the distance with a serious expression.

They are big and strong, dressed in rough clothes, and the most eye-catching thing is that they all have green skin!
"WAAAGH!!!"
