Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Regarding this enemy, they had too many unknowns and uncertainties, which made Xie Liancheng dare not boast.

After seeing this, Shi Lei couldn't help but feel more solemn.

Noticing this, Xie Liancheng hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke...

"Actually, it is not impossible to deal with it. For example, the two giant skeleton beasts that His Majesty can control, and the Chitose. In addition, His Majesty also has the mantra of 'Lightning Attack'. According to my idea, as long as it is No matter how strong a living creature is, it’s impossible to withstand lightning, right?”

Having said this, I thought of the thousand-year-old Xie Liancheng again, and suddenly I felt a little unsure.

"Um probably"

"I have also considered the giant skeleton beast and Chitose."

It was impossible for Shi Lei not to think of things that even Jie Liancheng had thought of.

"As for your Majesty's 'Lightning Attack' thing, I really don't know."

After Zhou Xu obtained the mantra of 'Lightning Attack', he did not use it in any public place except for his own testing.

Except for a very few people, no one knew that their Majesty had such a skill.

However, Shi Lei did not get entangled in this issue.

"For Chitose to come here, I'm afraid His Majesty will have to step forward, and the same is true for the 'Lightning Attack'."

"As for controlling the giant skeleton beast..."

"Currently within the Great Zhou Dynasty, as far as I know, apart from His Majesty, there are only two people who have the mantra of 'Skeleton Beast Soldier Control', namely Ye Jinghong and Li Ce, but neither of them are here, and the Skeleton Beast is also Same."

It is not difficult to tell from Shi Lei's words that he has indeed considered all possibilities.

"Take Yuancheng, which is likely to be the battlefield next, for example. Your Majesty sets out from Xianyang City, even if you lead a cavalry team at the fastest speed, it will take more than a month to get here. Li Ce from Green Forest City can't come much faster."

"Not to mention that the latest intelligence has just been sent out. They don't even know the situation here yet. All actions must wait until the intelligence is received before they can be launched."

At this point, Shi Lei had no intention of continuing.

To put it simply, distant water cannot save nearby fire!

After being woken up in the middle of the night, Xie Liancheng's brain had not yet returned to normal speed, so he completely ignored the problem and came up with a naive idea.

Information transmission also takes time. According to Shi Lei's calculations, if His Majesty can arrive here before winter, the efficiency is considered high.

In other words, don't count on it, Shi Lei doesn't think those green-skinned monsters will wait that long.

In the current situation, they basically have to rely on themselves.

Okay, now he can't sleep.

The two of them didn't know how they fell asleep later. Maybe they were too tired and finally lost consciousness in the early hours of the morning.

The adjutant, knowing that Shi Lei basically didn't sleep all night, didn't rush to call him the next morning.

The large army would set off after breakfast, and he was more than capable of handling the preparations before that.

This also gave Shi Lei almost two more hours of sleep.

"Thanks, I feel okay now."

After being woken up, Shi Lei learned from the adjutant that everything was ready.

Just when he was about to have a quick bite to eat and then set off, the cavalryman sent to chase Drogo and the others came back and brought back a result that was within Shi Lei's expectation.

Didn't catch up!

Drogo and the others were eager to return home, and they had set out several days early. Unless the other party slowed down their journey or even stopped to rest, it would be almost impossible for the cavalry starting behind them to catch up.

At that time, he was just thinking, 'What if? ’ mentality, I want to give it a try. If the centaur cavalry headed by Drogo can turn back, it will definitely be a powerful boost, but it is useless to think about it now.

All the troops were gathered together, and the large army officially set off soon.

The cavalry unit headed by Jie Liancheng took the first step. They moved faster and there was no need to follow the large army and slow down their own speed.

Get to Yuancheng first. If there is any unexpected situation there, it will be able to play some role.

Of course, during this rush, Shi Lei did not forget the two border cities located in the north and south of New Taipei District.

Although Yuancheng is the closest to Pingyuan City in terms of distance, there is no guarantee that those green-skinned creatures will not wander over there.

Considering this possibility, Shi Lei ordered two messengers and rushed to the two cities with his own warrant, asking the garrisons of those two cities to help transfer the population in the city.

These transferred populations are divided into two parts. One part is temporarily transferred to Daliang City, and the other part is transferred directly to Anling City in Xinnan District.

The same is true for Yuancheng. Although the large army is still on the way, the order has been sent ahead.

Needless to say, before the battle officially started, Shi Lei was already prepared to abandon the city in front and retreat at any time.

Even when it was necessary, he would give up without hesitation, even in the New Taipei District, which they had just occupied and had not yet had time to warm up.

At the same time, the team that escaped from Pingyuan City finally arrived outside Yuancheng after days of traveling.

The leading officer looked at the city that was already in front of him, and finally there was a wave of emotion in his empty eyes.

Looking back, the only people who escaped from Pingyuan City and arrived here were a handful of twenty or thirty defeated soldiers and no more than a thousand Pingyuan City people.

At this time, they almost looked like refugees, even officers.

From Pingyuan City to Daliang City, you must pass through Yuancheng. This is the shortest route.

Therefore, Yuancheng knew the news earlier than Shi Lei.

However, the officers responsible for garrisoning Yuancheng did not choose to send troops to support.

Regardless of whether this is true or not, there are only 500 troops stationed in Yuancheng. At this stage, this number of troops is simply not enough to support them in sending troops to support them while ensuring the internal stability of Yuancheng.

Not to mention that according to their understanding at the time, Pingyuan City had already fallen on the day of the invasion, which made the high-risk move of sending troops to support completely lose its last meaning.

In comparison, it is obviously more important to hold Yuancheng and wait for subsequent orders.

At this time, they noticed the existence of refugees outside the city, and the officers responsible for garrisoning Yuancheng had no intention of turning them away.

The city gate opened, and a troop quickly came out of the city. Before they even got close, the Yuancheng garrison could clearly feel the desperate atmosphere surrounding them.

The moment their eyes met, the soldiers stationed in Yuancheng all trembled in their hearts.

It's hard to imagine what these people in front of me have gone through to become like this.

Those pairs of eyes were as if they were witnessing hell on earth with their own eyes...
