Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1153 Decision-making
Although Woking did not elaborate, it was not difficult to hear from Woking's words that a lot of bad things must have happened within the coalition in recent years.

Shi Lei did not ask Woking why he did not seek support from other coalition members.

At this moment, the fact that Woking is sitting here is enough to show that they can no longer get support from other forces in the coalition, or in other words, the coalition is unable to take care of itself at the moment.

The changes in the external situation forced Shi Lei to temporarily put aside the excuses he had prepared.

Although Woking's words just now were mainly about stating the pros and cons and were sincere, Shi Lei was not stupid. As the commander-in-chief of the New North District, he naturally saw the situation clearly.

Once the pressure on Copperforge Fort is too great, they will definitely choose to concentrate their forces and shrink their defense. At that time, they will stay in Copperforge Fort and not go out, and the greenskin troops will be able to move around freely.

Once the situation develops to this point, it is only a matter of time before their Great Zhou is completely exposed to the greenskins' vision.

Woking didn't say this, but it was obvious that the other party knew it. He didn't say it so that Shi Lei wouldn't feel that he was threatening him.

What the dwarves need now is to join forces with the Great Zhou. At this critical juncture, it will not be good for them to make the relationship awkward.

As for the strength of the Great Zhou...

At first, Woking might have believed what Shi Lei said and felt that it was difficult for them to protect themselves.

But the reality is that over the years, no green-skinned army has been able to threaten the fortress of the Great Zhou.

Even judging from the current battle, the greenskin troops may not even be able to get close to the walls of the Plain Fortress and will be killed halfway.

This is definitely related to the small size of the greenskin army, but it is not difficult to see from it that the strength of the Great Zhou is definitely not as weak as they said. It is very likely that they were hiding their strength before.

The purpose of hiding one's abilities is not to get involved in their coalition.

A few years ago, Vol'jin might have found this incomprehensible, but now, after experiencing all the troubles within the coalition, Vol'jin had to admit that this was a wise decision.

Looking at Shi Lei who was lost in thought, Woking did not say anything to disturb him.

Normally speaking, such matters must be reported to their Majesty.

But it is not difficult to see from the fact that the dwarves have no choice but to ask them for troops that the situation in Copperforge is no longer optimistic.

The situation on the battlefield has always been changing rapidly, and any hesitation may delay the opportunity to fight.

And the round trip from the New North Plain Fortress to Black Moon City, even if it is an express train of 800 miles, will take more than a month. By then, the food will be too cold.

Rather than taking the risk of letting the greenskins push the battlefield outside their plains fortress, they would rather snipe the greenskin troops at Copperforge Fort, at least to prevent their Great Zhou from being affected by the war.

Thinking of this, Shi Lei had already made up his mind.

"Lord Vol'jin, I accept your proposal. Let us form an alliance to resist the invasion of the greenskins together!"

At this moment, they held hands and reached a consensus.

By the time Zhou Xu received Shi Lei's report, more than half a month had passed.
The content of the report made Zhou Xu frown quickly.

Over at the Plains Fortress, the presence of the greenskins has always been a potential threat to them.

However, Zhou Xu had previously thought that with the Copperlube Fort and the coalition forces on the outskirts, they only needed to defend the Plain Fortress and deal with some small greenskin troops. So after arranging Shi Lei and two thousand garrisons to guard the Plain Fortress, he no longer cared about it.

Who would have thought that something would happen now.

Shi Lei wrote down almost word for word what Woking said to him at that time in the report. After reading it, Zhou Xu's face showed a hint of subtlety.

[Could the retreating force be the female warrior tribe?] Zhou Xu thought it was very likely that it was, and the timing was also completely consistent.

According to his current understanding of the female warriors, all of them are of demigod bloodline, and their individual strength is enough to compete head-on with the big green-skinned guys.

As long as there are 20,000 to 30,000 female soldiers appearing on the coalition battlefield, their military strength cannot be ignored.

Even when they come out in full force, the military might of the female warriors can become even more astonishing!

As for high-end combat power, according to Zhou Xu's speculation, the previous queen was definitely a warrior at the Vajra Realm level, otherwise she would not be able to control the situation, and there are also quite a few warriors at the Hundred Refining Realm level within the team.

In other words, at its peak, the female warrior clan had two Vajra Realm-level warriors in charge.

Later, an incident on the coalition battlefield led to the death of the previous queen, and also caused the female warrior tribe to lose a large number of elite members, seriously damaging their vitality.

This is why after Yalvet came to power, she directly recalled the front-line troops on the pretext of recuperation and refused to send troops.

However, Zhou Xu had not expected that the withdrawal of the female warriors would have such a great impact on the coalition forces, and the pressure was inexplicably placed on the dwarves of Copperforge...

Although the intelligence at this stage is still very limited, Zhou Xu boldly speculated that the so-called coalition forces were most likely already in name only.

However, we still need to look at the specific situation.

It doesn’t make much sense to worry about the exact situation of the coalition forces now; what’s important is the battle at hand.

Zhou Xu agreed with Shi Lei's decision.

You will be outside, and your orders will not be accepted!

As commanders-in-chief, they have the power to make decisions in special times.

It's impossible that when the situation on the front line is critical, we still have to send reports back to ask for his instructions and wait for him to make a decision, right?
By the time his decision is sent to the front line, the grass on his grave would probably be three feet high.

If Shi Lei can't even make this decision, he will be very disappointed.

At the same time, Shi Lei...

Of course, it was impossible for him to gather troops immediately and follow Vol'jin to support Copperforge.

There are only two thousand troops stationed in Pingyuan Fortress. If he wants to send troops, he must first redeploy the troops in the New North District and draw troops from the rear cities to deploy defenses.

In addition, he also wrote a letter to the New South District as quickly as possible, requesting Drogo to lead troops for support.

After Li Ce was transferred to the northeastern border, the position of commander-in-chief of the new southern region fell on Zhuo Ge.

On this premise, Zhou Xu arranged for him a three-star deputy who was good at handling military affairs.

Over the past few years, military affairs and the training of new recruits have been handled in an orderly manner.

Now that he had received the order, Drogo, without saying a word, immediately assembled two thousand troops and headed towards the Plains Fortress to provide support.

During this period, 300 Centaur cavalry led by Drogo arrived at the Plains Fortress ahead of the main force.

At this point, Shi Lei had already drawn troops from the rear and completed the troop deployment.

The rear troops in the New South District certainly had no time to wait, so he formed a vanguard with the two thousand border defense troops under his command, plus the three hundred Centaur cavalry led by Drogo, to go and see the situation first.
