Throne of Vientiane Civilization

"For the Emperor!!!"

Amid the battle cry, the guards looked determined, clenched their crystal iron spears and stabbed at the rushing greenskin soldiers!

In an instant, the spears were stained with blood!

The soldiers of both sides soon fought together, and a battle broke out completely at this time.

At this moment, Zhou Xu, who was in the rear of the battle formation, confirming the battle situation and commanding the battle, couldn't help but feel a strong sense of relief in his heart.

Fortunately, Zhou Chongshan fought hard to defend the canyon pass and didn't let it fall into the hands of the greenskins.

This natural environment that is easy to defend and difficult to attack provides them with a huge advantage as the defenders at this moment.

After the previous battle, the opponent lost the ogre as a weapon to break the situation. Now they only need to rely on a small number of troops to block the entrance with a spear formation, and they can relatively easily resist the offensive from the greenskin troops.

Under the cover of night, the greenskin troops' several rounds of offensive were all hard-pressed back by them with a spear formation.

Due to the space limitation at the entrance of the canyon, the greenskins' military advantage on the opposite side could not be brought into play at all at this moment.

Zhou Xu originally thought that the greenskins who had seen the situation clearly would choose to retreat temporarily.

This was undoubtedly a good thing for them. After all, they were not in a good state now, and the subsequent main reinforcements had not arrived yet, so they did not want to fight with the opposite side at all.

However, what Zhou Xu did not expect was that this wave of greenskin troops on the opposite side did not know what was wrong with them, and they did not retreat! The entire offensive had no intention of stopping at all!

This situation made Zhou Xu frown.

If it were earlier, if you told him that these greenskins were all single-celled organisms who did not know how to write the word "retreat", he might still believe it.

But through the battle last night, Zhou Xu undoubtedly confirmed personally that the greenskins on the opposite side actually had brains, at least the goblin wolf cavalry had brains, and they also knew to retreat.

So what's going on now?

It's impossible that they lost their memory due to stimulation, right?

As his thoughts raced, Zhou Xu stood in the canyon, assuming that the opponent had a brain, and tried to figure out the opponent's thoughts.

In this situation, what was the purpose of the opponent launching a strong attack when the attack was obviously unfavorable?

Following this line of thought, Zhou Xu quickly thought of a possibility.

[Is it because of the mantra spell? ]

[In the previous battle, in order to stabilize the situation and force the opponent to retreat, we frequently used various mantra methods. ]

[The greenskins on the opposite side probably also knew the mantra methods. ]

[At that time, due to the state, we did not pursue at all. I am afraid that we were timid at this step. The opponent now thinks that our mantra power has reached the bottom and does not want to give us time to recover, so they want to seize the canyon pass before that? ]

At this moment, Zhou Xu thought more and more that this idea was correct.

Now thinking about it, it was really a flaw that we did not pursue at that time.

But there was no way. In that situation at that time, how could they have the spare energy to pursue? It was good enough to force the greenskin troops to retreat.

[What should I do now? 】

Maintaining his calm expression, Zhou Xu controlled his bad mood and fell into deep thought.

[Cast a wave of mantra spells to trick the opponent? Let the opponent think that they made a mistake in judgment, and continuing to attack will only result in greater casualties, so that they will retreat? 】

As soon as this idea came up, Zhou Xu threw it into the trash can.

Anyway, if it were him, he would definitely not retreat after the opponent did this.

Since they have fought to this point, they are betting that the opponent's mantra power has reached the bottom and is struggling to survive.

After all, they have confirmed this idea, so they must fight to the end. If they hesitate to fight halfway, then won't all the previous troops be wasted?

In this way, instead of casting another wave of mantra spells at this point in time, it is better to save the mantra power and wait for the lizardman troops to arrive, and then launch a counterattack in one go! It's better than giving it away at this time.

This conclusion made Zhou Xu feel even more depressed.

Assuming that the other party's thinking is consistent with his, then this wave, the other party will definitely not retreat easily, and what they need to face next will be a tough battle!

There is no other way. There are too many things in this world that are beyond one's control. If you encounter them, you can only bite the bullet and defend to the end!

Generally speaking, the rhythm of the entire offensive and defensive battle is relatively stable.

Although the two sides fought fiercely, it was difficult for any accidents to happen.

To put it bluntly, they were madly consuming each other to see who could not stand it first.

In this regard, Zhou Xu, who confirmed the battle situation a few more times, simply handed over the command work to the commander of the Imperial Guards, let him sit in command, and let Zhou Chongshan watch from the side, while Zhou Xu himself quickly retreated to the side and continued to meditate and recover.

As an important part of the combat power at the canyon pass, meditating and recovering quickly is the top priority. How can you keep wasting time with the opponent?

Maintaining such a state, this offensive and defensive battle lasted from the second half of the night until dawn.

Although the soldiers of the Imperial Guards were all elite soldiers from various armies, they could not withstand the fierce attack of the greenskin troops.

At the end of the battle, Zhou Chongshan could no longer just watch from the sidelines, and directly summoned dozens of soldiers from the Xianzhen Camp who were still capable of fighting, replaced them with spears, and joined the rotation.

The soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp are all selected from the best, and they have been practicing martial arts for many years. Although their physical fitness is not as good as that of the warriors in the Bailian Realm, it is not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers.

During this period, the elven knights led by Silk were not idle either, and they also came to help.

Once the front-line troops could not hold on, or were caught by the opponent during the rotation, the elven knights led by Silk would immediately greet them with "Wind Slash"!

With this simple and crude killing method, the offensive of the greenskin troops was forcibly curbed.

They originally thought that the greenskins should retreat after dawn.

Unexpectedly, the opponent had no intention of doing so.

"Fuck! Are these guys crazy?! Do they really want to fight us to the death?!"

At this moment, under tremendous psychological pressure, coupled with the double fatigue of body and mind, many soldiers could not help but curse.

This state lasted until almost noon.

The attack of the greenskin troops continued, but the canyon pass ushered in a new variable...

Five hot air balloons flew steadily over the canyon and arrived above the greenskin troops.

Without waiting for the reaction of the greenskins below, barrels of objects were dropped from the air, and exploded at the moment of landing!

That loud noise seemed to open the curtain of a new era!

The terrifying explosion instantly blew the greenskin soldiers in the area into pieces!

"It's time to show you what fire suppression is!"
