Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1061 Unsolvable Problem
The greenskins should have realized that the combination of hot air balloons and explosive barrels, plus the natural environmental advantages of the canyon pass, the two combined almost created an unsolvable problem for them.

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

After all, the longer they rest now, the better their condition will recover.

Two days later, Locke, now the royal wizard, finally arrived.

Although they traveled by boat and carriage along the way, it was still a tough journey for Locke.

After all, he was old, and he was in a hurry along the way. He hurried as fast as he could. 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.

We have finally got an extraordinary wizard, we can’t let him die on the way!

Fortunately, after a good night's rest, Locke had basically recovered, which made Zhou Xu breathe a sigh of relief.

Locke's arrival is of strategic value to them!

With this extraordinary wizard in charge, it can be basically ensured that even if the subsequent greenskin troops launch another offensive, they will be able to hold the canyon pass firmly.

However, after the last battle, the greenskin troops have been silent for a long time.

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

It has now been confirmed that the greenskin troops have set up camp directly in their oil village.

It has been resting there for the past few days and has not taken any further action.

Zhou Xu felt a little complicated after confirming this information.

The other side didn't attack and there was no pressure on their side, so he was indeed relieved.

But while he was relieved, he couldn't help but worry whether the other party was planning some big move for him.

In fact, this situation can be largely resolved by them switching from defense to offense and taking control as soon as the Lizardmen reinforcements arrive.

But the Lizardmen's reinforcements have not arrived yet.

There is no way around it. The way a large army travels is different from a small army where all members ride on horseback or in carriages.

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

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

Of course, he didn't show it.

In the eyes of others, their Majesty appeared calm and confident of victory throughout the entire battle. In addition, the previous successful battle in forcing back the greenskin troops made the morale of the front-line troops as stable as a rock.

The sun sets, and as another cycle of day and night begins, the sky quickly darkens.

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

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

At this moment, not even five days have passed in total.

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

A super wizard with 30% of his power is not someone that an ordinary wizard can easily challenge, but in Zhou Xu's opinion, it is obviously not enough.

Wait a few more days, and his power should be restored to 50% by then. At the same time, the reinforcements of the Lizardmen should also arrive. With the help of Locke, the extraordinary wizard, he can directly wipe out the enemy in one wave! Recover the lost territory!

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

At a loud cry, Zhou Xu, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up from the bed instinctively.

"Quick! Armor me!"

It was Xuan Yu's cry! These days, Xuan Yu had gotten used to flying out at night to stare at the greenskins on the opposite side. As long as the greenskins on the opposite side made a move, it would immediately fly back to warn.

The garrison troops on this side of the canyon were all aware of this. Now that Xuan Yu had shouted, the sound was like an alarm, waking up all the soldiers who were resting in the canyon. At the same time, the team on night watch entered the first level of combat readiness as quickly as possible!
Xuan Yu's advance warning gave them enough time to react.

By the time the greenskin troops arrived at the outskirts of the canyon, the garrison troops of the Great Zhou were already ready to go!
As always, three rounds of flaming 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, looking outside.

With the help of the firelight, they could now see the greenskin troops.

[If I take action at this time, does the other party have a way to destroy my hot air balloon and explosive barrel? ]

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

At the same time, while he was thinking this, the greenskin troops on the opposite side had already begun 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 in his heart that the opponent must have some means, otherwise this wave of attack would be meaningless.

[How about waiting for the enemy's main force to come forward, and then letting Locke take action to get the upper hand? ]

Zhou Xu's idea at this moment was simple. He let Locke team up with the Wood Elf Mage Corps and use the combination of "Wild Growth" and "Energy Drainage" to forcibly control the situation, so that even if the opponent has means, they will have no chance to use them, and they can be simply and brutally strangled 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 no exception.

[It’s decided, let’s do it! ]

After Zhou Xu made up his mind, he immediately called Locke and John over to arrange tactics with them.

Over the past few days, many seeds of the winding vine have been deployed in the area outside the canyon, which saves them a step.

With the timing just right, at the moment when the opposing greenskin troops advanced to the outside of their canyon, Locke and the Wood Elf Mage Corps cooperated with each other, and attacked with all their strength without reservation!

【Wild growth! 】

【Energy absorption! 】

With the presence of an extraordinary wizard, the effect of the mantra is far from what it was before.

The winding vines that grew out of the shells were like an explosion, quickly sweeping in the advancing greenskin troops.

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

Once the entangled vines are formed, combined with 'Energy Drainage', it is only a matter of time to destroy the entire opposing army.

"How come the effect of this mantra spell has become so much stronger?!"

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

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

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

But things have come to this point, and their original plan obviously cannot be stopped because of this accident.

"Damn it! Do it!!"

As the order was issued, a group of burly green-skinned 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 sky!
