Throne of Vientiane Civilization

The time spent on this journey was basically in line with Zhou Xu's expectations.

From the time they left the Salt Lake camp to the present, before the fifth day's dark, they successfully joined Li Ce and the others.

In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, Li Ce and the others deliberately drove away from the hill for about half a day, and then hid in a Gobi that could be used as a cover.

And this Gobi will also become their frontline camp for the next few days.

After all, it is impossible for them to bring everything to confront the enemy on the mountain, and at the same time, they cannot unilaterally think that they will win here.

Everything has a contingency, what if it falls?

Or what if this enemy is not so easy to deal with, and the battle between the two sides has reached a stalemate?

Then they must have a camp where they can rest, right?

In this era, it is best for them to open the distance of half a day's feet, advance, attack, retreat, and defend.

As a temporary camp, apart from tents for sleeping and rest, there is a stone stove for cooking and cooking, and there is nothing else. It basically looks like this.

The large army carried supplies and equipment, and the fatigue accumulated from the five-day march could not be fully recovered after one night's sleep.

But if you let them rest here for two or three days, they will definitely not be able to bear it.

You have to take into account the time it may take for the two parties to fight later.

The resources brought out are limited. Once the resources are exhausted and the rear resource supply fails to keep up in time, then they can only choose to retreat.

You can't let a large group of them starve to death on the front line, right?

Surrounding these issues, Zhou Xu decided to limit the rest time to one day after weighing many times in his mind.

For the next whole day, apart from lighting fires and cooking, and doing vigilant work to prevent the enemy from discovering them, the main job of everyone is to allow themselves to rest adequately.

It's just different from usual, their actions will start after nightfall!

This undoubtedly requires great courage.

Because in this primitive era, after nightfall, those nocturnal carnivores will become the deadliest killers under the dark night.

Human beings can't compete with those nocturnal carnivores relying on torches alone, and their vision is greatly limited.

Zhou Xu made this decision not because of his hotheadedness, but because he combined limited information and carefully analyzed the current situation.

This piece of barren desert Gobi is really too desolate, where you can see, there are stones and gravel everywhere.

There are only some reptiles like lizards and all kinds of bugs living here.

The lack of resources will not only make primitive people have no interest in this place, but also make large carnivores with higher food needs leave here to find habitats with more food.

And as long as there are no ferocious carnivores, the threat that the night can bring to them will be greatly reduced.

Naturally, an acceptable condition was created for their late night march.

"Boss, do you want to light a torch?"

At night in this era, the wilderness is pitch black, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you can't see your fingers.

Without a torch lit, you can't see your way, and you risk injury.

But if you light a torch, you will be too eye-catching, even from a long distance, you can be spotted at a glance.

Faced with Li Ce's question, Zhou Xu didn't even think about it, and said directly...

"Light the torches and hurry, we have to move faster and get there before dawn!"

They are half a day away from the target location. After nightfall, the efficiency of traveling decreases. If you don't light a torch, it is unrealistic to arrive before dawn.

At this moment, Zhou Xu no longer cared whether the other party would find them.

In fact, so what if they found out?

This dark night cannot be illuminated by lighting a torch.

As long as this night is still there, his advantage can be guaranteed!

So arriving before dawn is very important to him.

Including Li Ce, it was really the first time for them to march late at night like this, and each of them was really nervous.

However, this mood quickly dissipated in the next hour.

Along the way, nothing happened, and at the same time, under the illumination of the torches, the entire vision at night was much better than they had expected.

This situation was within Zhou Xu's expectation.

Thanks to his talent of 'evolutionary leader', the eyesight of his tribe members is generally better than that of ordinary people, even for some members, it is only a little bit better.

Of course, even if their eyesight has been improved, they do not have the ability to see things at night in essence.

Not to mention them, even Zhou Xu himself would have no effect in activating the 'Eye of Insight' in a pitch-dark environment.

Under this premise, the key item that allows them to obtain night vision is the torch in their hands.

In the middle of the night in this era, the lighting of torches is completely insufficient for ordinary people, but for those of them who have better eyesight than ordinary people, a simple superposition can get quite good results.

The guarantee of vision has greatly increased the confidence of the tribe members, and the movement efficiency has improved a lot invisibly.

In the early hours of the morning, there was thick fog in the mountains. On the foot of the mountain, two tribe members who were on duty here were leaning against the trunk of a big tree, yawning.

"No, I'll squint for a while, help me watch..."

While speaking, the tribe member's eyes narrowed unconsciously.

However, just when his eyes were about to close into a slit, a spark suddenly flashed in his eyes.

This situation made the tribe member stunned for a moment, and then he immediately cheered up and looked into the distance.

At a glance, the whole person's expression completely changed!

"That's... fire light? Enemy attack! It's enemy attack!!!"

Shouting with obvious panic, completely broke the tranquility of this mountain forest.

Just like Zhou Xu and the others need to rely on the lighting of torches to operate under the night, this is the same for the other party.

The screams woke up the tribe members who were sleeping peacefully in the camp at that time, and then, one by one torches were lit.

Before they reached the foot of the mountain, all the staff were already in place.

Under normal circumstances, it is unrealistic to want to catch them off guard.

But Zhou Xu didn't count on this from the beginning. He marched late at night because he had another purpose!

Under the cover of night, the torches lit on the mountain allowed Zhou Xu to lock the opponent's position at a glance.

"This saves me trouble."

Under the same conditions, the enemy is defending and we are attacking, and the opponent is on the mountain, occupying a geographical advantage. If they fight like this, they will suffer 100% loss.

But Zhou Xu didn't panic at all, the entire attack plan had already been sorted out in his mind.

"Is everything ready?"

"Ready!"

"very good!"

After finishing speaking, the ancient tones continued to come out of Zhou Xu's mouth. Now he is proficient in casting the mantra.

[Skeleton soldier control! 】

In an instant, clusters of green will-o'-the-wisps lit up, against the background of the night, the gate of hell seemed to be opened in Zhou Xu's hands!

"attack!"
