Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 910 New Soldiers
Bai Tu didn't expect this to happen so suddenly.

I just arrived yesterday, and the relevant tasks were assigned to me the next day.

Faced with this sudden situation, Bai Tu glanced at Soros who was sitting in the main seat.

Soros's words sounded like he was asking for Bai Tu's opinion, but in fact, they contained a hint of provocation.

[Are you trying to see what I can do? ]

Almost at the same time as this thought flashed through his mind, Bai Tu's voice rang out in the conference room.

"Colonel Soros, my troops and I just arrived at the fortress yesterday. We are not familiar with the environment here. If I take over this mission directly, I am afraid it would be inappropriate."

Bai Tu's answer surprised Zhou Chongshan a little.

As the only person present who had some interactions with Bai Tu, Zhou Chongshan actually knew that Bai Tu was eager to make a contribution, and he thought the other party would agree directly.

I never thought that I would be rejected.

In response to Bai Tu's tactful refusal, Soros laughed.

"I was negligent. How about this? I will send a troop back to take you on routine tasks so that you can get familiar with the environment here as soon as possible."

"Then I'll trouble you, Colonel."

The unexpected situation made Zhou Chongshan couldn't help but look at him again.

But this also proves to some extent that he and Bai Tu are indeed not familiar with each other.

Bai Tu wants to prove himself by making achievements, but this does not mean that he will be greedy and reckless.

Although he was young, the destruction of his country and family in his early years and the life of slavery severely shaped his character and made his mind much more mature and stable than his peers.

After a meeting, Soros looked at Bai Tu's leaving back and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He did it on impulse, wanting to test the other party and see what he was capable of.

But if Bai Tu had taken over the matter in a fit of anger, Soros would have been disappointed, because in his opinion, this showed that he was not calm enough.

He will take the bait at the slightest provocation. Who would dare to entrust him with an important task?

Even if he could really get the job done, Soros would think he was reckless.

Just as he said at the meeting, Soros immediately arranged a team as soon as the meeting ended. He led them to carry out daily tasks and familiarize themselves with the environment in this area.

As the temperature gradually dropped, the frequency of harassment by small groups of ratmen began to increase.

This is to increase the intensity and try to find out their situation.

This action often means that the large army of ratmen is about to arrive at the front line.

By then they will quickly form a rat tide and launch an offensive!

It was a new day, and Bai Tu quickly became familiar with the environment here and soon had the opportunity to show his abilities.

A rapid whistle sounded. The specific frequency allowed him to determine as soon as he heard it that a small group of ratmen had appeared in the area he was responsible for.

"Just like in training, follow the tactics!"

In response to this situation, Bai Tu had already made comprehensive tactical arrangements in advance.

Now that the situation had arisen, he gave an order and his soldiers immediately took action. The patrol team that had discovered the small group of ratmen would hold them back, and when the frontal troops arrived, they would immediately unite and line up to meet the enemy.

During this process, the troops that had deployed flanking maneuvers in advance also saw the opportunity and showed up one after another, directly dumbfounding the small group of ratmen that came to carry out harassment missions.

Although the ratmen's army is famous for its size, a small unit like this one that focuses on harassment basically has only about 500 soldiers, and its main features are flexibility and concealment.

In the past, when the Lizardmen here dealt with them, they only had two or three hundred soldiers at most.

At this moment, this group of human troops that appeared out of nowhere has at least a thousand soldiers!

This made the rat people, who always liked to suppress their opponents with military force, feel the suppression from the enemy's military force for the first time. They were so confused for a moment that the whole situation changed from offense to defense in an instant.

Under Bai Tu's arrangement, the soldiers responsible for the frontal attack were basically composed of veterans, many of whom had participated in the original greenskin invasion.

These ratmen look ugly, and looking at them can easily cause physical discomfort in people, but this basically falls into the category of "disgusting". Compared with those greenskins, they are far less intimidating.

This made the veterans almost fearless, and they charged forward with spears in their hands.

The new recruits who were mainly responsible for encirclement and interception were very nervous at first, but when they saw that there were veterans supporting them from the front, and that they were obviously more numerous, they suddenly became more confident.

Looking at the rapidly forming encirclement, the rat slave soldiers realized that their retreat had been cut off and tried to fight back desperately.

However, the five-meter-long spears were enough to easily curb their offensive. At the same time, the shield wall formed by the large shield soldiers in the front row was tight, completely eliminating any chance of counterattack by the ratmen. Combined with their military advantage, the battle in front of them quickly turned into a one-sided situation.

The soldiers advanced step by step, holding spears. As the encirclement continued to shrink, large groups of rat slave soldiers were constantly stabbed to the ground by them.

The whole process went much smoother than they expected.

After the initial discomfort, the recruits overcame their fear and tension and gradually got into the state, which also made the battle end faster.

In the following period of time, in order to allow the new recruits to better accumulate practical experience, Bai Tu almost completely took on this work and took on the task of dealing with small groups of ratmen.

"I heard that this new guy has been doing well recently?"

In the office, Tash looked at Soros with a smile.

In response, Soros, who was handling military affairs at the time, didn't even raise his eyelids.

"It's much better than what we expected at the beginning, but it's far from enough. I hope they won't get complacent. After all, you know that once the war breaks out, the strength of the rat tide will not be comparable to that small force."

At this point, Soros paused.

"Let's not talk about the new recruits. The activities of the ratmen have become more and more frequent recently. What is the status of our troops?"

What Soros was asking about at this time was undoubtedly their Lizardman troops. The usual training work mainly fell on Tash.

"Don't worry, we're all in great shape! We can fight those stinky rats anytime!"

As early as the beginning, when they just discovered the appearance of ratmen here, they immediately requested military reinforcements from the temple in the rear.

At the same time, it was from that time that their long war with the rat people started again.

During this period, some were injured and retired, and some were killed in battle, but the number of Lizardman troops stationed in the Southern Fortress has been maintained at 3,000, ensuring that they, as the defenders, can easily resolve the offensive of the ratmen.

At the same time, this also allowed these 3,000 troops to accumulate enough experience. All of them are veterans of the battlefield, and their overall strength is definitely not comparable to that of the new recruits who have just arrived.
