Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1101 Departure
After leaving the forging department, Zhou Xu returned to the palace without a moment's rest. While processing the documents that had accumulated during this period, he learned that along with the fire crystal, sulfur, the main material for gunpowder, was also sent over.

There was no need for him to say more, as the gunpowder workshop had already started mixing gunpowder and making explosive bombs.

Compared with the forging department, the overall production efficiency in the gunpowder workshop is still quite high as long as the raw materials are in place.

In the busy time, time passes quietly...

The temperature rose, the ice and snow melted, and the arrival of spring brought a sense of urgency to everyone in the Great Zhou, including Zhou Xu.

According to the latest news, Bolevin in Ceylon City has begun to assemble troops and prepare to set off for the northeastern front.

At the same time, back in Black Moon City, the enchantment work surrounding the Scarlet Flame Sabre encountered some minor troubles.

This latest enchantment mantra is more powerful, so the cost of a single enchantment has also increased accordingly.

On normal days, the enchanters in the enchantment department could take their time, but the situation was urgent! How could they take their time?

As for himself.

Considering that the war could break out at any time on the northeastern front, Zhou Xu no longer easily consumed his strength after returning to Black Moon City, and kept himself in a state where he could attack at any time.

In this situation, Zhou Xu had no choice but to call Teacher Wang Dong, who was teaching a class, to help him in order to improve the efficiency of enchanting.

Wang Dong himself had no objection to this.

Wang Dong was very satisfied with his life over the years. During this process, he had also confirmed that, to a large extent, Zhou Xu was a man of his words and his character was also quite good.

In order to keep such days going, Wang Dong naturally doesn't mind helping out when Da Zhou needs it.

Moreover, in the Enchanting Department, he was even given the title of 'Honorary Minister'...

With the addition of Wang Dong, the "Enchanting Master", the entire work efficiency of the Enchanting Department has increased exponentially, and a total of 103 Red Flame Sabers were enchanted at the fastest speed.

The enchanted Scarlet Flame Saber was quickly sent to the Xianzhen Camp's military camp.

After all, in today's Great Zhou, apart from the Xianzhen Camp, there is no more suitable ace troop that can use this batch of enchanted weapons.

In the previous battle on the Northeast Front, the Xianzhen Camp suffered heavy casualties and was almost wiped out.

But I don't know if it's because all the members of the Xianzhen Camp practiced martial arts intensively on a daily basis. Although they haven't reached the Hundred Refining Realm, their bones, muscles and tendons have been tempered by the power of mantras. Coupled with the effect of his blessing, out of the fifty-six seriously injured soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp, after a winter of rest, thirty-seven of them survived and recovered!
As a result, after that battle, the number of veteran soldiers in the Xianzhen Camp, which had originally had less than a hundred soldiers, returned to 116.

Under this premise, the Xianzhen Camp was obviously not idle this winter.

Zhou Xu selected elite troops from each unit to fill in, replenishing the Xianzhen Camp with 500 people, and then began training.

At this point in time, the new recruits who had just been added to the Xianzhen Camp had not received much training before they had to go to the battlefield again.

The only thing to be thankful for during this period was that these new recruits were elite troops in their original units. Although they had only undergone a short period of training when they arrived at the Xianzhen Camp, their overall performance was not too bad.

Black Moon City was not far from Grassland City. One hundred and three Red Flame Sabres arrived at the military camp with Zhou Xu and Jie Liancheng.

The main force is still behind. In order to prepare for the next battle, Zhou Xu asked the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs to continue recruiting soldiers this winter.

Soldiers from other cities were also rotated on a large scale. Among the 3,000 troops mobilized now, there are 1,000 veterans drawn from various places and 2,000 new recruits, so as to avoid the pure recruit troops being defeated by the greenskins on the battlefield.

"General Zhou Chongshan pays respect to His Majesty!"

"No gift!"

Without any nonsense, Zhou Xu directly picked up a brand new red flame sword and handed it to Zhou Chongshan, then told Zhou Chongshan a relatively simple command.

As the command was spoken, Zhou Chongshan felt an invisible force sweeping across his entire body. This sudden situation made Zhou Chongshan subconsciously tense his body.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

"This is an effect of the new sword."

As he spoke, Zhou Xu repeated his previous thoughts to Zhou Chongshan.

After listening to this, Zhou Chongshan suddenly realized.

"Your Majesty is wise! This way, the threat that the lost weapon may pose to us will be greatly reduced."

After understanding the situation, Zhou Chongshan quickly distributed the Red Flame Sabre that had just been delivered to the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp.

There is nothing much to say about the selection of candidates. Veterans in the Xianzhen Camp will definitely be given priority.

After all, the combat effectiveness of these veterans is not comparable to that of the new recruits who joined later.

After quickly distributing the equipment, Zhou Xu led the Xianzhen Camp and set off directly. No matter what, they had to reach the northeastern border first.

Once they get there, whether they want to train for a while or mobilize troops directly, the initiative will be in their hands.

On the other hand, if you procrastinate on the grassland and the greenskins take action first, but their troops have not arrived yet, then the situation will undoubtedly be passive.

In this case, the most important task is to get to the front line first.

Meanwhile, on the northeastern border...

Compared with other regions, the winter in Northeast China is obviously longer. When other regions have already seen spring and warming, the Northeast China is still as cold as winter.

After Zhou Xu left, the border was generally peaceful.

However, recently, some goblin wolf cavalry began to appear outside their border.

Obviously, there has been no news sent back for nearly two months. No matter how stupid the other side is, they should realize that something has happened here.

The appearance of the Goblin Wolf Cavalry was obviously not a good sign for Li Ce.

This means that the enemy's vanguard has discovered their presence.

After confirming the situation, Li Ce did not hesitate and immediately wrote a letter and asked Xuan Yu to deliver it.

Compared to carrier pigeons that can only fly in a straight line between two points, Xuan Yu is undoubtedly much smarter. Halfway through its flight, it discovered Zhou Xu who was heading towards the border, so it landed immediately.

“Xuan Yu?!”

When Zhou Xu saw Xuan Yu appear, his heart sank suddenly.

He quickly took off the letter tied to Xuan Yu's feet and started reading it.

On that small piece of paper, there was a sentence written...

Goblin Wolf Cavalry appeared at the border!
When Zhou Xu saw this sentence, he immediately understood what was going on.

"Notify all soldiers to speed up their journey!!"
