The army of the Western Expedition pushed all the way.

The group of orcs apparently fled straight back to the base camp.

In one fell swoop, he abandoned all the castles in front of him.

Concentrate your forces in one place.

This approach is really straightforward enough.

Luo Ji pondered, many players probably can't get that ruthless.

Along the way, two hundred-man detachments of Terran infantry were sent to collect the fleeing Terran natives.

Whatever can be brought away, it will be brought away.

Cheap labor, for Luo Ji, the more the merrier.

On the premise of maintaining the combat effectiveness of soldiers.

The Western Expedition army braved the scorching sun and arrived in the savannah region of the rear of the Orc Alliance in the middle of summer.

Luo Ji, who raised his hand slightly and wiped a handful of beads of sweat, motioned for the army to be stationed and rest.

And let the soldiers replenish water in time.

Now the temperature is probably close to 389 degrees.

That thick armor, Luo Ji can't wear it anymore.

What is this kidding him?

After a while under the scorching sun, the surface of his armor can be used for barbecue!

That one is really unbearable.

directly changed himself into a set of cool light armor.

That's when I felt a little better.

However, Luo Ji can do this, but the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army can't do this.

Facing the scorching sun overhead.

The soldiers of the Xuanjia Army at most took off the face armor on their faces to breathe.

As for the armor on the body, it is impossible to take off.

Once it is dragged down, they will not have time to put it on again in case of any emergency.

So, no matter how hot it is, you can only endure it.

I couldn't help it, so I unscrewed the water bag and poured some water on the armor.

Listen to the sound of 'zizz zi zi' to cool off for yourself.

"Your Majesty, it can't go on like this, many soldiers in the army are already suffering from heat stroke."

As a staff officer of the army, Du Yuanzhi wiped beads of sweat and said to Luo Ji......

"At the same time, in the past few days, the efficiency of the march has obviously become worse and worse."

Hearing this, Luo Ji nodded.

Apparently he knew it very well.

After all, it was said a long time ago.

Of the four seasons of the year, summer and winter are the least suitable for marching and fighting.

One is too hot, the other is too cold.

The former is prone to heat stroke, and the latter is prone to wind chills.

However, the war in this world does not always make you hit a good time.

Calculating the time, this battle in the west, he has been fighting from the late autumn of last year to the midsummer of this year!

Rounded up, it can be counted as a year.

It is necessary to pacify the West within this year.

Then you can't avoid summer.

Otherwise, it will be too late to wait until autumn to start fighting.

I want to wipe out the orc alliance in the west in one go.

There's always something to take and pay a price.

Glancing up at the fireball in the sky that was a little overheated.

Luo Ji, who was standing in a shady place at this time, couldn't help but wipe the sweat stains on his forehead again.

Then he spoke......

"Order to go down and rest here for half a day, and from tomorrow onwards, change your schedule to avoid the hottest time of noon, and hurry in the early morning and evening."

Speaking of this, Luo Ji, who seemed to have thought of something again, spoke again......

"By the way, among the supplies sent from the rear before, there should be herbal tea to go to the summer, right? Brew it and distribute it. ”

Luo Ji originally wanted to give the order to rush at night.

But then I thought about it.

After all, his western expeditionary army was numerous.

And at night, the light is not enough, and the view is blocked.

Hurry at night, if something unexpected happens.

It's also a hassle to deal with.

Thinking of this, Luo Ji dispelled the idea of rushing at night.

Half a day's rest allowed the soldiers to recover a little.

At the same time, during this period, those soldiers who have been confirmed to have suffered from heat stroke.

It is also centralized.

There were forty-seven of them.

Not much.

But the fever was terrible.

Obviously, it was impossible to continue on the road.

Fortunately, heat stroke is not contagious.

In the rear of the Western Expeditionary Army, there are also logistics units transporting supplies.

There was a difference of about four to five days between the two troops.

Let the soldiers who suffered from heat stroke stay where they are to recuperate.

Send a small squad of soldiers to look after them.

In a few days, they would be able to join up with the logistics forces that were following behind.

There is basically no need to worry.

The army of the Western Expedition continued to advance.

Follow the markers on the map.

The base camp of the Orc Alliance is in the deepest part of this savannah.

Originally, if it could maintain the normal marching efficiency.

Marching in a straight line and getting there, it's only about a week's journey.

After all, in the grassland area, the road is not difficult to walk.

But the problem is that the impact of this climate is too great.

The marching speed of the Western Expedition army inevitably began to decline.

Originally, the army went out on the expedition, and the time for camping and resting and eating was skimmed every day.

It's about eleven to twelve hours a day.

And now, because to avoid the hottest time of the day.

So, the travel time of the day becomes seven to eight hours.

And during this time, he also had to ask the soldiers to pay attention to their own hygiene.

In order to avoid the growth of any bacteria and the outbreak of any fatal epidemic in this scorching hot environment.

This question can be said to be the most important thing to pay attention to on the summer march!

A contagious epidemic is much more terrifying than heat stroke.

In particular, there was an outbreak of the disease in a large army that had gathered thousands of troops.

It was a nightmare!

At that time, in just a few days, he will be able to put down a large number of his soldiers.

Even he himself could be implicated!

In this way, in order to prevent problems before they happen, the efficiency becomes slow, and it is also a helpless thing.

This kind of time is at stake for life.

Luo Ji has always only sought the word 'stability'.

Efficiency is secondary.

He didn't want to fight for any character in this matter.

What if the face is black?

As a human being, you really can't be too confident.

Those who are overconfident end up overturning.

"Your Majesty, I found a natural lake in front of you!"

Listening to Zhou Cang's report, Luo Ji's face was overjoyed.

"Set up camp and rest, remember to let the soldiers pay attention to personal hygiene, this matter is careless!"

While talking, he rode the fire and ran to Luo Ji by the lake.

I also planned to take off this light armor and wash away the sweat stains on my body.

Who knew that at this moment, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his head......

System Prompt: Player 'Liu Zitao' is invading your civilization!

At the same time as this system prompt sounded, Luo Ji's expression could be said to be completely frozen.

Are you kidding? He's also the sixty-first player in the Bronze Rank, okay?

Under normal circumstances, who is so boring to invade him?!

Wait a minute! Liu Zitao?

It's a familiar name......

After thinking for a while, Luo Ji's whole face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping.

"Sixteenth ...... on the list"

"Lean !!"

Give it to the alliance leader's 'sponge sponge' plus two!
