At the same time, the other side.

On a high ground on the outskirts of the Elven Forest.

Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Zhou Xian, who was riding on horseback, blinked his eyes in confusion.

Then he turned his head and asked Luo Cheng beside him.

"General, was there such a big forest here when we left?"

Faced with this question, the expression on Luo Cheng's face was also a little confused.

"No......"

As he spoke, he glanced down at the map and began to wonder if he was on the wrong track.

But it looks like it's right!

At this moment, Luo Cheng was even more confused.

A forest of such a large scale could not have been planted during the time they left, it was impossible to have time.

However, Luo Cheng is also a veteran after all.

is different from Zhou Xian, who is actually very young.

Although Luo Cheng looks like he is in his early twenties, his real age is more than thirty years old.

The reason why he can maintain such a young posture is because Luo Ji is consuming civilization points to help him continue his life.

Therefore, in terms of experience, Luo Cheng is far superior to Zhou Xian.

"The infantry troops will stay here first, and the cavalry troops will follow me up to have a look!"

At the sound of an order, the cavalry troops immediately took action, and Zhou Xian, as the deputy general, also followed.

The rapid approach of the cavalry team immediately aroused the idea of the elven rangers who were patrolling the forest.

A sharp arrow flew straight out of the forest and sank into the land ahead.

"Stop! Further on, it is the territory of our civilization of all worlds, say what you mean! ”

Hearing these words coming from the forest, Luo Cheng couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise in his heart.

When he left, he didn't remember that there was such a vast forest in the south of their Ten Thousand Realms Civilization that was almost endless.

But at the same time, it was also a sigh of relief.

Then he shouted......

"This general is the leader of the hundred horsemen of the civilization of the ten thousand worlds! Brothers in the woods, please call the guards of this city to come out and see them! ”

Now, the elven rangers in the forest were unexpected.

Listening to the other person's tone, it doesn't seem like you're cheating.

It's rare to stop a wave of people, but it ends up stopping your own people?

It's just funny.

Of course, whether it's your own person or not, you have to wait for them to report it.

"Wait a minute, we'll go and report to the general!"

The tone of his voice softened a little invisibly.

After a period of time, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves coming from the depths of the forest, the familiar figure that came out made Luo Cheng completely let down his guard.

"The last general, Luo Cheng, has seen General Zhennan!"

"General Luo Cheng is polite."

As he spoke, Zhou Yi hugged his fists at Luo Cheng.

"Brothers, this journey has been hard, I have ordered someone to prepare food, follow me into the city."

A cavalryman was sent directly to inform the infantry units waiting in the rear.

And Luo Cheng and Zhou Xian followed Zhou Yi into the elven forest first.

The trees in this forest are too lush.

As soon as you enter the inside, you can clearly feel the dimming of the light.

At the same time, the elven rangers standing on the branches of the trees on both sides also attracted Luo Cheng's attention at the first time.

Obviously, it was these people who stopped them with an arrow just now.

"General, what's going on with this forest? The last general remembers that when he left at the beginning of the year, there was not such a big forest on the southern border. ”

Faced with Luo Cheng's question, Zhou Yi chuckled.

Also, whoever is replaced, it is estimated that they will be taken aback.

Now their Ten Thousand Realms Civilization has more than just a forest, but an entire elven province!

At the same time, the area of this elven forest far exceeded Luo Cheng's imagination.

Along the way, Zhou Yi concisely and clearly told Luo Cheng about the elf province and the elf clan.

After listening, Luo Cheng and Zhou Xian both set off a storm in their hearts.

How long have they been gone? The speed of development of the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds is simply earth-shaking!

This was followed by after entering Storm City.

The unique treehouse architecture and scenery of the elven city also made the two of them sigh in admiration.

The Southern Expeditionary Army, which had been running all the way, finally rushed back to the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds before winter

Zhou Yi sent a flying pigeon to Luo Ji and quickly informed Luo Ji of the situation here.

Luo Ji, who received this flying pigeon biography, was obviously in good spirits.

The return of the Southern Expeditionary Army, which was out on the march, at this time, was undoubtedly an additional force for his Ten Thousand Realms civilization.

And after a few days of statistics.

In addition to the large number of captives who were regularly escorted back.

The Southern Expeditionary Army, which was fighting abroad, collected troops while attacking cities and villages.

Now the number of troops of the entire Southern Expeditionary Army has expanded to 5,326 people!

Although many of these soldiers have not received formal training from the military.

But no one can deny that this is a force to be reckoned with.

Wait until Luo Cheng and Zhou Xian return to Spiegel City.

Luo Ji personally summoned them and gave them a series of rewards.

Leave aside some of the rewards of money.

Luo Ji also ordered the craftsman to tailor a set of iron armor for the two of them.

After all, after nearly a year of fighting, the bronze armor of Luo Cheng and Zhou Xian has long been unrecognizable.

In addition, Luo Ji also canonized Zhou Xian as a partial general, and Luo Cheng was officially promoted to the commander of a thousand cavalry and crowned one star!

This is the third thousand cavalry commander in his Ten Thousand Realms civilization in addition to Bai Ze and Burigude!

If it is said that before this, when Luo Cheng met Zhou Yi, Guo Zhen and other Quartet guards.

has to call himself a general because of the military rank.

Then it is clearly not necessary now.

Because it is not a specific star rating, the Thousand Cavalry Commander is already the highest military rank of the cavalry unit within the civilization of the Ten Thousand Realms!

motioned to Luo Cheng and Zhou Xian, who had been working hard for a year, to go down and have a good rest.

Luo Ji unfolded the map of the southern expedition they had offered.

The system that detected the map data immediately started to update synchronously.

Then, on the system map, the fog that was originally shrouded in the south was cleared at once.

At the same time, Luo Cheng became the resource point they discovered along the way.

From a small freshwater river to a large mine, all of them are marked on it.

It can be said that it is very rewarding.

It's basically waiting for him to expand the territory and then officially take over.

However, this is not so easy to do.

If he wants to carry out the expansion plan, he will have to wait until his construction team is vacated.

Let's not talk about small projects.

At present, he still has two major projects in hand that he has not completed.

They are the construction of the mountain castle in the mountains and forests of the northern land and the construction of the castle in the castle of Qingshui City.

Unless one of them is completed.

Otherwise, with the current situation of the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds, it would be difficult to free up enough manpower to build the next city.

However, at present, there are still more than eight years of development time before he is officially promoted to the Black Iron Rank, and there is no rush for this time.
