Throne of Vientiane Civilization

If the Elf Knights and the Entrapment Cavalry were in their prime, they would naturally not be afraid.

But in the current situation, the Entrapment Cavalry had just ended a deadly battle with the large greenskin army, and the Elf Knights had just finished a burst of attacks in order to support the Entrapment Cavalry and escort them out of the siege.

At this juncture, if they were entangled by the Goblin Wolf Cavalry with an overwhelming force advantage, it would really be a fatal thing.

As an important part of his own regiment, Zhou Xu knew the situation of the Elf Knights very well.

As for the Entrapment Cavalry, facing the large greenskin army with a small number of enemies and being besieged until now, I think their condition is not much better, and their combat effectiveness is basically out of the question.

Zhou Xu, who had predicted this situation in advance, how could he not be prepared at all?

While letting the skeleton troops hinder the Goblin Wolf Cavalry as much as possible, Zhou Xu quickly ordered...

"John! Intercept the Goblin Wolf Cavalry!"

"Yes!"

With a reply, all the mantra power saved before was used at this time.

[Wild Growth! ]

[Plant Control! ]

Under the promotion of "Wild Growth", the entangled vines on the battlefield began to grow faster.

However, unlike before, these entangled vines seemed to come alive at this time, like a series of spirit snakes that swam quickly along the ground, approaching the Goblin Wolf Cavalry who were running.

Although the Goblin Wolf Cavalry were swift and could adapt to many complex terrain environments, they were still caught in this completely unexpected situation.

The flying entangled vines swept them to the ground directly, and the offensive of the Wood Elf Mage Corps would obviously not end there.

While sweeping the Goblin Wolf Cavalry to the ground, the entangled characteristics of the entangled vines were also triggered, and they quickly climbed up their bodies.

Seeing the right opportunity, the Wood Elf Mage Corps led by John immediately took follow-up measures.

[Energy absorption! ]

This "energy absorption" is directly used to block the opponent's retreat. Combined with the means of "plant control", it is undoubtedly difficult for the Goblin Wolf Cavalry who are entangled to break free.

The means that were completely unexpected to him shocked the Wolf Cavalry Commander. After cutting off a vine flying towards him with a knife, facing the Da Zhou troops who were using frequent means, a sense of retreat came to his mind.

"Everyone retreat! Withdraw from the area covered by these vines!"

Their Wolf Cavalry is also an elite force within the Greenskins, and they can't just die here inexplicably!

Try to save those who can be saved, and give up decisively those who can't be saved. The Goblin Wolf Cavalry who received the order quickly retreated and kept a safe distance from the flying entangled vines.

Seeing this, the Wood Elf Mage Corps led by John did not pursue them relentlessly.

With the retreat of the Goblin Wolf Cavalry, their purpose of covering the Elf Knights and the Piercing Iron Cavalry to retreat to the grassland pass has been achieved.

The reason why the entangled vines were able to successfully intercept the Goblin Wolf Cavalry just now was because they knew the movement route of the Goblin Wolf Cavalry and knew their purpose, so they just blocked their way.

But it is basically unrealistic for them to control the entangled vines to chase the cavalry.

If Locke is here, relying on his extraordinary magician's strength to make full use of it, he can make the growth rate of the entangled vines exceed the movement speed of the cavalry in a short period of time, forming a chasing and killing ability to a certain extent, but John and his team obviously can't do that.

Fortunately, the Goblin Wolf Cavalry on the opposite side has been successfully persuaded to retreat.

At the same time, the unexpected setback quickly made the opposite greenskin troops choose to withdraw temporarily.

During this period, Xuan Yu flew in the air all the time to confirm the movements of the opposite greenskin troops. After confirming that the other side had indeed retreated, Zhou Xu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly released the control of all the skeleton soldiers.

At that moment, his face was a little pale.

When the power of the mantra in his body was consumed by more than half, it was a great burden for him to summon and control three thousand skeleton troops to fight.

At this moment, Zhou Xu couldn't help but feel a little fortunate.

Fortunately, the greenskin troops on the opposite side chose to retreat. If the stalemate continued, he would inevitably be dragged into a bad negative state with the serious consumption of the power of the mantra.

At that time, it would take ten days or half a month just to get rid of the negative state.

In fact, he is already at that critical point. The serious consumption made him feel dizzy and had a slight headache.

If the greenskin troops did not withdraw at that time, he could only use the last resort and let the Wood Elf Mage Corps block the entrance with entangled vines to block the subsequent offensive of the greenskin troops.

Take a deep breath. According to his current state, it is best to take a rest quickly, but Zhou Xu is obviously not in the mood now.

"Silk, please arrange the subsequent deployment."

After quickly handing the deployment task to Silk, Zhou Xu walked quickly to the bloody Qiansui.

At this moment, Qiansui was so tired that he fell asleep on the spot. Looking at his bloody body, Zhou Xu felt heartbroken, but couldn't speak for a long time.

After adjusting his mood and not disturbing Qiansui's rest, Zhou Xu turned around and found Jie Liancheng sitting on the ground.

This was the first time he saw him in such a miserable state.

"How is your injury?"

Hearing this, Xie Liancheng shook his head with difficulty.

"The injury is not a big deal, but this time... I was a little shocked, and I don't feel very happy."

While speaking, Xie Liancheng hesitated for a moment, and then told about the time when he faced the siege and blockade of the greenskin troops, and he was desperate and even lost his will to fight.

After that, Xie Liancheng exhaled a long breath and felt much more comfortable.

Zhou Xu was not too surprised about this situation.

To put it bluntly, he had suffered less setbacks before.

From the five-star bravery, it can be seen that Xie Liancheng is a gifted person in the relevant field. He can learn any moves and techniques at once. He is a national-level martial arts athlete at a young age. Later, he participated in fighting competitions and won the world championship.

Basically, other players of the same generation were suppressed by him. In his level, he is a dominant player and has no opponents at all. This also made his previous career so smooth.

To be more arrogant, he doesn't know how to write the word failure.

After that, he traveled through time and space, and with his strong individual strength, he became a general under Yan Sheng.

Later, he was indeed suspected and suppressed by Yan Sheng, and also witnessed some court struggles, but this did not affect his never losing a battle!

On a battlefield of that scale at that time, a peerless general like him could turn the tide with his personal bravery alone, which undoubtedly made him more confident.

After that, he followed Zhou Xu, and in the battle in Xinbei District, he was under pressure against the greenskins, but he still won in the end.

Therefore, this was the first time he faced a situation where he was completely powerless to turn the tide, and it felt terrible.
