Li Ce had clearly long since grown accustomed to His Majesty frequently transferring him from one post to another.
Looked at from another angle, didn't that prove how much their His Majesty valued him?
After looking around, none of the other generals in Great Zhou had received treatment like this.
Although idle days were comfortable, they offered no military achievements to earn. Back when he had first been transferred to the New South District, he had been the only colonel in all of Great Zhou.
Now, there was more than one Major General.
Therefore, Li Ce's enthusiasm over this latest transfer was exceptionally high.
The New South District itself still needed some troops stationed there, so the veterans Li Ce had brought over this time numbered only a thousand. Adding the two thousand new recruits he had first enlisted after issuing the Conscription Order in Black Moon City, his total force now stood at three thousand!
In terms of troop numbers, there was no doubt that the force was larger, but this clearly wasn't enough to put Zhou Xu at ease.
From a combat-strength perspective alone, human soldiers—especially new recruits—would find it difficult to stand against the two-thousand-strong Lizardmen unit Bolevin had brought over earlier.
The only thing worth celebrating was that among the thousand veterans transferred from the New South District, three hundred were Centaur cavalry.
Unlike the slow-growing Elf race, the Centaur race reproduced relatively quickly, and Centaurs reached adulthood at ten.
After incorporating the Centaur mercenaries in the early years and increasing the population base of their race, their peaceful life over the past few years had also led the Centaurs to shift their focus toward increasing their population and expanding the size of their race.
At present, leaving aside the old, the young, and the women
