Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 937 Divine Grace
We had already fought such a fatal battle before winter even arrived.

Logically speaking, since the rat people were defeated, if the southern border troops of the Great Zhou wanted to expand their advantage, they should quickly turn from defense to offense and pursue the victory.

But the conditions don't allow it.

At this stage, not only the two extraordinary wizards, Bo Levin and Locke, need a lot of time to recover, but their troops at the Southern Fortress also need time to rest.

In the short term, there is no ability to send troops at all.

Not to mention that at this moment, some of the ratmen deserters may have already fled into the territory of their Great Zhou!
With no other choice, out of caution, Soros could only quickly withdraw a part of the limited military force at this stage and send it to the post stations and villages closest to their southern fortress for garrison and patrol.

At the same time, assemble the troops again, starting from the South Border Fortress, cooperate with the pterosaur riders to conduct a carpet search of the internal area!

One night, outside an inn behind the Southern Fortress, pairs of glowing eyes lit up in the darkness.

They lowered their bodies, pressed them directly against the ground, and slowly approached in an almost crawling posture, preparing to attack the post station and plunder supplies to solve their food problem.

However, before they could get completely close, accompanied by a gust of night wind, the rats in the front row stiffened one after another, and then collapsed completely to the ground.

Almost at the same time, under the cover of night, the chameleon lurker quietly appeared.

As one of the very special arms within the Lizardmen, the Chameleon Lurkers lack combat capabilities on the front battlefield.

This also meant that they suffered basically no losses in the battle at that time.

After the war, Soros arranged for him to come here as a secret sentry, lurking day and night near the post stations and villages behind them.

Because Soros knew very well that the ratmen who escaped into their territory had no supplies. If he wanted to obtain supplies, there was only one way, and that was to invade the post stations and villages in the southern border of their Great Zhou.

Taking this into consideration, deploying a force to wait and see will definitely yield results.

The current situation has proved that his guess was right.

While launching an attack on the ratmen, the invisibility effect covering the Chameleon Lurkers was also passively lifted. However, this also allowed the Chameleon Lurkers to act without any scruples, and they immediately blew the bone whistle as an alarm.

Soon, the lizardmen soldiers stationed in the post station rushed out at the fastest speed.

Faced with such a battle, how could these defeated soldiers dare to fight with them? Their first reaction was to turn around and run away.

During this process, although the Chameleon Lurkers' movement speed is average, they are still able to carry out appropriate pursuit and killing actions while avoiding head-on conflicts.

Looking at the ratmen turning around and running away, they all started to chase after them, raising their blowpipes.

The sound of the poisoned blowpipes almost blended with the whistling night wind, making the attacks of the Chameleon Lurkers silent and making it impossible for the fleeing ratmen to defend themselves!

In the following days, similar operations were frequently carried out behind their southern fortress. With the advantage of the pterosaur riders' aerial vision, they launched search and capture operations both above and below the ground, and basically wiped out any ratman deserters of any size in the territory.

The few remaining scattered ones are often the most difficult to deal with, but conversely, there are not many threats left, so we can only slowly wear them down.

At the same time, at the South Border Fortress, because all the soldiers infected with the disease were isolated in time and subsequent alcohol disinfection was immediately followed up, the entire situation was brought under control in time and did not spread inside the fortress.

In the subsequent treatment, alcohol disinfection and antipyretic drugs were used together. After about a week, the soldiers' condition began to show relatively obvious improvement.

This situation excited all the soldiers, including Soros and Bai Tu!
On the other hand, Bo Levin remained calm throughout the whole process.

"Why are you so startled? With your majesty's blessing, isn't it natural that I can recover?"

When Bo Levin said this, he obviously didn't think much about it.

As their Majesty's high priest, it is his duty to publicize their Majesty's grace at any time and in any place. Even the words he said were close to an instinctive reaction.

But I have to say that he was right this time.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary humans would not be able to survive based on their physical fitness.

The fact that they were able to survive and their condition improved rapidly in a short period of time, in addition to the help of alcohol and antipyretics, was more importantly due to Zhou Xu's talent as an 'evolutionary leader'.

In the previous spring, Zhou Xu became an extraordinary wizard, and at the same time he broke through his original life level and reached the level of extraordinary life.

This change is undoubtedly a qualitative change for him.

And his talent as an 'evolutionary leader' instantly spread this qualitative change to all his people.

Although it was not as exaggerated as having all the people of the Great Zhou be promoted to extraordinary life forms on the spot, the people of the Great Zhou had already possessed some innate advantages that only extraordinary life forms had.

For example, in this epidemic, it is not difficult to see that their resistance and recovery ability when facing the disease have become stronger than before, which is obviously beyond the level of ordinary humans, and it can even be said that they are approaching the level of Lizardmen.

In addition, it is not difficult to see from the fact that Zhou Chongshan's previous training efficiency suddenly increased and he broke through to the Hundred Refining Realm in a short period of time that it is most likely that Zhou Xu's talent as an 'evolutionary leader' is at work.

After all, for ordinary humans like them, the biggest improvement after breaking through to the Transcendent Realm and the Hundred Refinements Realm is the improvement of the life level, officially breaking free from the constraints of the mortal body and becoming a transcendent life.

On the other hand, if they were extraordinary beings, or half extraordinary beings from the beginning, then wouldn't it be easier for them to reach the extraordinary realm and the Hundred Refinements realm than for ordinary people?
However, for special races like elves, centaurs and lizardmen, which are originally extraordinary lives, demigod bloodlines and god-created lives, the impact of this aspect can be almost ignored.

After all, they are already at that level, and this improvement can basically be perfectly covered by their original racial characteristics.

No matter what, relying on the talent effect of 'Evolutionary Leader', Zhou Xu's influence on the entire Great Zhou, or the entire ethnic group, is becoming greater and greater!
