Throne of Vientiane Civilization

The greenskins should have realized that the combination of hot air balloons and explosive barrels, plus the natural environment advantage of the canyon pass, almost formed an unsolvable problem for them.

The greenskin troops who couldn't figure out how to break the situation temporarily stopped moving, which was undoubtedly a good thing for Zhou Xu and his team.

After all, the longer they rested now, the better their condition would be.

Two days later, Locke, now a royal mage, finally arrived.

Although they took boats and carriages along the way, it still made Locke's old bones suffer a lot.

After all, he was old, and he was in a hurry all the way. When Locke's carriage arrived at the canyon camp, his legs were weak and his old face was pale.

Seeing this, Zhou Xu quickly arranged a tent for Locke to have a good rest.

It was not easy to wait for an extraordinary mage, but he couldn't lose it on the way!

Fortunately, after a good night's rest, Locke's condition was basically recovered, which also made Zhou Xu greatly relieved.

Locke's arrival is of strategic value to them!

With this extraordinary wizard in charge, they can basically ensure that even if the subsequent greenskin troops launch another offensive, they can firmly hold the canyon pass.

However, after the last battle, the greenskin troops have not made any moves for a long time.

During this process, Zhou Xu sent a hot air balloon to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance.

At this time, it has been confirmed that the greenskin troops directly used their oil village as a camp and stationed there.

They have been resting there for the past few days and have not made any further moves.

Zhou Xu, who confirmed this information, felt a little complicated.

The other party did not attack, and they had no pressure on their side. He was indeed relieved.

But at the same time as he was relieved, he couldn't help but worry a little bit whether the other party was holding back some big moves for him.

In fact, as long as the lizardmen reinforcements arrived, they would immediately turn defense into offense and take control of the initiative, which could be solved to a large extent.

But the lizardmen reinforcements have not arrived yet.

There was nothing that could be done about it. The way a large army travels is different from the way a small army travels when all its members ride horses or carriages.

A large army must be equipped with a large number of infantrymen, and their mobility efficiency is mainly based on the speed of the infantrymen.

Although he knew the reason, it was obviously not enough to ease his mood, which made Zhou Xu a little irritable recently.

Of course, he did not show it.

In the eyes of others, their majesty was calm and confident throughout the whole process, and the previous battle that successfully forced the greenskin troops to retreat made the morale of the front-line troops as stable as Mount Tai.

The sun set in the west, and with another round of day and night alternation, the sky quickly darkened.

Putting aside the negative emotions in his heart, Zhou Xu still maintains his daily routine of sleeping and meditating.

According to his current strength, if he does not do anything else and devotes himself to recovery work, it will take about half a month for the mantra power in his body to be fully restored.

At this moment, it has not been five days at most.

Considering that he was in a bad state the day before and was mainly sleeping without much meditation, Zhou Xu's mantra power has recovered to about 30% now.

A super magician with 30% power is not something that ordinary magicians can easily mess with, but in Zhou Xu's opinion, it is obviously not enough.

Wait a few more days, and his mantra power should be restored to 50%. At the same time, the reinforcements of the lizardmen should also arrive. With Locke, the super magician, he can directly destroy the opponent in one wave! Recover the lost land!

However, the reality is not as he wished...

With a loud cry, Zhou Xu, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time, the whole person jumped up from the bed completely instinctively.

"Quick! Put on armor for me!"

It was Xuan Yu's cry!

These days, Xuan Yu has been accustomed to flying out at night to stare at the greenskins on the opposite side. As long as the greenskins on the opposite side make a move, it will immediately fly back to warn.

The garrison troops on this side of the canyon were all aware of this. Now that Xuan Yu had called out, the sound was like an alarm, waking up all the soldiers who were resting in the canyon. At the same time, the night watch team entered the first-level combat readiness state at the fastest speed!

Xuan Yu's advance warning gave them sufficient reaction time.

When the greenskin troops arrived at the periphery of the canyon, the garrison troops of the Great Zhou were already ready to go!

As always, three rounds of fire arrows flew out, illuminating the night and providing vision.

During this process, Zhou Xu had also put on his armor and came to the rear of the canyon defense line and looked outside.

With the light of the fire, they could already see the silhouette of the greenskin troops.

[At this time, the other side has the means to crack my hot air balloon and explosive barrels? ]

Thinking of this, Zhou Xu's eyes were a little solemn.

At the same time, while he was thinking about this, the greenskin troops on the opposite side had already started to advance.

The burly green-skinned soldiers were still at the forefront, and their actions were no different from before.

But Zhou Xu had already concluded that the opponent must have some tricks, otherwise this wave of attack would be meaningless.

[How about waiting for the opponent's large force to push up, and then let Locke take action directly, to strike first? ]

Zhou Xu's idea at this moment was simple. He asked Locke to cooperate with the Wood Elf Mage Corps and use the combination of "Wild Growth" and "Energy Drainage" to control the situation by force, so that even if the opponent had means, he would not have the opportunity to use them. He would simply and rudely strangle them in the cradle!

Zhou Xu has never been a particularly entangled person. Even if he encounters something that makes him entangled, he will make a decision in a short time, and this time is also the case.

[It's decided, let's do it! ]

Zhou Xu, who has determined his idea, immediately called Locke and John over to arrange tactics with them.

In the past few days, many seeds of entangled vines have been deployed in advance in the area outside the canyon, which saves them a step now.

At the right time, at the moment when the opposite greenskin troops advanced to the outside of their canyon, Locke and the Wood Elf Mage Corps cooperated with each other, and they were unreserved and went all out!

[Wild Growth! ]

[Energy Drainage! ]

With the extraordinary mage in charge, the effect of the mantra is not comparable to before.

The entangled vines that grew out of the shells quickly swept the advancing greenskin troops in like an explosion.

This scene lifted the spirits of the canyon soldiers, and many soldiers couldn't help but cheer.

Once the entangled vines were formed, combined with the "energy absorption", it was only a matter of time to disintegrate the entire opposing army.

"How did the effect of this mantra become so much stronger?!"

At the same time, in the darkness, an exasperated voice sounded, which was seriously inconsistent with the intelligence they had collected before.

"It's a super wizard! There must be a super wizard on the opposite side!"

As he spoke, the other party couldn't help cursing again.

But things had come to this point, and their original plan was obviously impossible to stop because of this accident.

"Damn it. Do it!!"

Along with the issuance of this order, a group of burly greenskin soldiers walked out of the darkness on the outer battlefield, each carrying a large bucket on their shoulders.

When they got close to the area covered by vines, they suddenly threw the barrel out. After the barrel fell to the ground and broke, a large amount of liquid inside spilled out and splashed everywhere.

Then, accompanied by the throwing of a torch, there was a muffled "boom" sound, and the flames that almost shot up into the sky illuminated a large area of ​​the night!
