Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 304 Coping
In the lizardmen camp, after listening to the reports from his subordinates, the leader of the lizardmen was full of anger and had nowhere to vent his anger, so he kicked the subordinate kneeling below him to the ground on the spot.

"waste!!"

After venting briefly, the lizardman leader began to think about countermeasures.

"Although the number of 'Baltu' brought over this time is quite a lot, we can't just let the bastards on the opposite side kill them."

While muttering to himself, the experience of the past few days came to mind again, and the face of the leader of the lizard people suddenly turned ugly again.

Li Ce's one-hit-and-go tactics are simply shameless in the eyes of the lizard man leader!
At this moment, it was obvious that he had nothing to do with the other party.

It's not that he hasn't tried to lure the enemy deep into the past few days, and then set up an ambush to surround and kill the enemy.

But I don't know if he saw through his intentions. After the opponent finished a wave, he immediately turned around and left without even hesitating. He didn't give them a chance to siege.

But after a period of time, they didn't gain anything, at least they figured out that there were three groups of guys attacking them this time.

They are humans, centaurs and elves!
Let alone humans, centaurs and elves are undoubtedly difficult existences, but as brave warriors serving the ancient gods, they certainly cannot back down!
The leader of the lizardmen, who was sorting out his thoughts at the moment, slowly figured out Li Ce's thoughts on their actions, and then he spoke...

"Pass my order, from now on, the composition of all patrols will be changed to five speed dragon cavalry, plus twenty 'Baltu' infantry."

Hearing this, the 'Baltu' lizard man kneeling below was startled.

"Commander, if this arrangement is made, the number of patrols will be greatly reduced."

"Then reduce it!"

The leader of the lizard people gave this answer without even thinking about it.

Things have developed to the point where, if the number of patrols is simply too large, it is meaningless.

What he needs now is to increase the strength of the patrol team.

According to the information obtained in the past few days, the strength of these three forces is not large.

He estimated just now that the improved configuration is enough to make the opponent feel the pressure.

If possible, he even wanted to increase the configuration of the speed dragon cavalry to ten cavalry.

But this is obviously not realistic.

Considering the casualties of the Dragon Cavalry in the past few days, the number of Dragon Cavalry under his command is not very abundant.

Under this premise, the speed dragon cavalry also shouldered the important task of obtaining food through hunting. At this moment, there were not many that could be allocated to the patrols. Each patrol increased to five cavalry, which was basically the limit.

The order given by the commander of the lizard people was quickly implemented.

Facts have proved that the increase in troop strength has indeed put pressure on Li Ce and the others in the simplest and most brutal way.

The increase in risk has made their actions less unscrupulous than before.

In response to this situation, Li Ce did not panic. As the person who formulated this harassment tactic, he had of course thought about how to deal with this problem if he was the opposite.

As for the simple and crude method of directly increasing the troop strength, he undoubtedly also thought of it.

Therefore, after discovering that the strength of the patrol team on the opposite side had increased significantly, Li Ce refrained from his actions for a while and started observing for a period of time. Afterwards, he thoroughly confirmed his guess and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sure enough!"

The reason why he adopts the style of 'one hit and go, never love to fight' is mainly because the distribution density and patrol frequency of the opponent's patrols are too high.

When the opposite side is attacked, they will inevitably send out a distress signal and call in reinforcements. Once the battle time is prolonged, there is a high probability that they will be besieged by follow-up reinforcements from the opposite side.

But things are different now.

To give a simple example, in the same area, before every 10 minutes, a patrol team passed by, but now it takes 15 minutes, or even 10 minutes.

The strength of patrols has increased, but their numbers have decreased.

This directly led to a sharp drop in the distribution density and patrol frequency of patrols.

In this way, if they launch an attack, the time for the rest of the patrols to discover the situation here and rush over will also be greatly lengthened.

And their fighting time naturally became more generous because of this, and they didn't need to run away as quickly as before.

This shortcoming can actually be made up for.

That is to increase the strength of the patrol team on the premise of maintaining the original number of patrol teams.

This requires a sufficient number of troops to support.

And the lizard man on the opposite side obviously couldn't do this, which made Li Ce heaved a sigh of relief.

Li Ce, whose guess was confirmed in his heart, was not in a hurry to take action.

More time for fighting is not the same as being easy to fight. The risks and threats they need to bear have increased, and this cannot be changed.

Standing still for the time being, Li Ce approached Drogo and the others after dark.

Compared with the elves, who basically had no news after the operation started, their contacts with the centaurs are still very close.

They often get together to exchange information, and occasionally encounter each other in battle, and they will also cover and support each other. It can be regarded as this way that they have accumulated more tacit understanding between each other.

"On the Lizardman's side, the patrols and hunting teams have grown in size. I think it's safer for us to attack together."

"I agree."

Drogo responded directly to Li Ce's proposal.

Drogo's straightforwardness was within Li Ce's expectations, and what he wants to know more now is actually the situation on the elves side.

"Leader Drogo, do you know what's going on with the elves?"

If possible, Li Ce thought it would be better to bring the elves' troops with him.

Judging from the current situation, they will inevitably start a large-scale war with the lizardmen in the future, and the elves will also be an important combat force on their grassland.

When it can be saved right now, Li Ce still hopes that the opponent can save some troops, and wait until a large-scale war starts, and then make more efforts.

However, facing Li Ce's question at this time, Drogo shook his head.

"I had a face-to-face meeting from a distance before. At that time, they didn't intend to contact us. They left soon, and basically haven't met us much since then."

Drogo's words made Li Ce frown slightly.

In fact, as early as when discussing tactics, he vaguely realized that those grassland elves didn't seem to fit in well.

Of course, this is not quite right.

More accurately, it should be that those grassland elves think highly of themselves, and look down on them in their bones, thinking that if they act together, they will hold them back.

So even though they have the name of cooperation now, the prairie elves are completely independent and basically have nothing to do with them.
