Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1059 What is fire suppression?

"For the Emperor!!!"

Amid the war cries, the guards looked determined, clenched the crystal iron spears in their hands, and stabbed at the green-skinned soldiers who were rushing up!
In an instant, the spear was stained with blood!

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

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

Fortunately, Zhou Chongshan fought desperately to defend the canyon pass and prevented it from falling into the hands of the greenskins.

This natural environment, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, provides them with a huge advantage as the defenders at the moment.

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

Under the cover of night, the greenskin troops launched several rounds of attacks, all of which were repelled by their spear formations.

Due to the limited space at the canyon entrance, the greenskins' military advantage cannot be fully utilized at this moment.

Zhou Xu originally thought that the greenskins, after seeing the situation clearly, would choose to retreat temporarily.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for them. After all, their current condition is not very good, and the subsequent main reinforcements have not arrived yet, so they don’t want to fight with the opponent at all.

However, what Zhou Xu didn't expect was that the greenskin troops on the other side didn't know what was wrong with them and refused to retreat! They had no intention of stopping the entire offensive!
This situation made Zhou Xu frown.

If you had told him earlier that these greenskins were all stubborn single-celled organisms who didn't even know how to write the word "retreat", he might have believed it.

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

So what's going on now?
It's impossible that he lost his memory due to the stimulation, right?

As his thoughts raced, standing in the canyon, Zhou Xu tried to guess the other party's thoughts, assuming that the other party had a brain.

In this situation, what is the purpose of allowing the opponent to continue to launch a strong attack when the attack is obviously disadvantageous?
Following this line of thought, Zhou Xu quickly thought of a possibility.

[Is it because of the mantra? ]

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

[The greenskin on the opposite side probably also knows the truth method. 】

[Due to our state at that time, we didn't pursue them at all. I'm afraid we showed our weakness at this step. The enemy now thinks that our power has reached the bottom and doesn't want to give us time to recover, so they want to capture the canyon pass before that? ]

The more Zhou Xu thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was correct.

Now that I think about it, it was really because I didn't pursue him at that time that I exposed his flaws.

But there was no other way. Under the circumstances at that time, how could they have the 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 emotions and fell into deep thought.

[Cast a wave of truth spells to trick the enemy? Make the enemy think that they made a mistake in judgment and that continuing to attack will only result in greater casualties, so that they will retreat?] As soon as this idea came to mind, Zhou Xu threw it into the trash can.

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

Having fought to this point, we can only bet that the opponent's power has reached its limit and is struggling to survive.

After all, this idea has been confirmed, so we must fight to the end. If we hesitate halfway through the fight, then wouldn’t all the troops we had previously sent to waste?
In this case, instead of casting another wave of mantra spells at this point in time, it is better to save the mantra power and launch a counterattack in one go after the Lizardmen troops arrive! It is better than giving it away for free 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 time, the opponent will definitely not retreat easily, and what they will face next will be a tough battle!
There is no other way. There are so many things in this world that are beyond our control. When we encounter them, we can only grit our teeth and hold on to the end!
Generally speaking, the rhythm of the entire offensive and defensive battle was relatively stable.

Although the fighting between the two sides was fierce, it was difficult for any accidents to happen.

To put it bluntly, they are madly consuming each other to see who can't hold on first.

In response to this, Zhou Xu, who confirmed the battle situation a few more times, simply handed over the command work to the commander of the Imperial Guard, asked him to take command, and asked Zhou Chongshan to watch from the side. Zhou Xu himself quickly stepped aside and continued to meditate to recover.

As an important component of the combat power at the canyon pass, meditating and recovering quickly is of utmost importance. How can we keep wasting time with the opponent?

Maintaining this state, the offensive and defensive battle lasted from the late night until dawn.

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

As the battle progressed, Zhou Chongshan could no longer just stand there and watch. He directly summoned dozens of soldiers from the Xianzhen Camp who were still capable of fighting, equipped them with spears, and joined the rotation.

The soldiers in the Xianzhen Camp are all the best of the best, and they have practiced martial arts for many years. Although their physical fitness cannot compare with the warriors in the Hundred Refining Realm, it is still better than that of ordinary soldiers.

During this time, the elven knights led by Silk were also not idle and also came over to lend a hand.

Once the front-line troops are unable to hold on, or are caught by the opponent during the rotation process, the elven knights led by Silk will immediately attack with "Wind Slash"!
Use this simplest and most brutal means of killing to forcibly curb the offensive of the greenskin troops.

They originally thought that the greenskins would retreat after daybreak.

Unexpectedly, the other party had no such intention at all.

"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 physical and mental, many soldiers could not help but burst into cursing.

This situation continued until almost noon.

The greenskin troops' attack 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 greenskins below to react, barrel-shaped objects were dropped from the air, and exploded with a loud bang the moment they landed!

That loud noise seemed to have opened the curtain of a new era!
The horrific explosion instantly blew the green-skinned soldiers in the area into pieces!
"It's time to show you what fire suppression is!"
