Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1062: Taking advantage of the situation
Affected by his vision, Zhou Xu, who was now inside the canyon, had no idea what the other side had done. Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky from the outside, and the fire burned wildly.

Zhou Xu's face darkened when he discovered this.

After understanding the methods of the wood elves, Zhou Xu naturally tested their various abilities.

Among them, the entangled vines are undoubtedly the core carrier of the wood elves' series of mantra spells.

Although it is a plant and seems to be restrained by fire, in fact, in order to ensure its toughness, the twining vine contains a considerable amount of water.

In addition, it is affected by the effects of the two mantras, 'Wild Growth' and 'Energy Drainage', which makes it more lively and tougher.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to ignite easily, unless some special means are used...

Following this line of thought, Zhou Xu immediately thought of the diesel refined in their oil village.

The situation was extremely urgent at the time, and the staff took as much stock as possible from the oil village when they evacuated.

But they were not a professional transport team after all. Even if they tried their best, it was impossible for them to take away all the stock. There was no other way. Zhou Yifei had an idea and hid all the diesel that could not be taken away.

Why was it a sudden brain attack? Because he did something stupid out of his own accord!

If it were Zhou Xu, he would pour out all the diesel! Or even burn it!

If we just hide it, there is still a possibility of being discovered by the enemy. Once discovered by the enemy and aware of the nature of the diesel, then the diesel may become a weapon against them!
This is also something Zhou Xu has been worried about.

This is also the main reason why Zhou Xu is so eager to recover the lost territory and retake the oil village as soon as possible.

In the previous battles with the greenskins, the opponents did not show any ability to set fires.

Such a shocking fire suddenly broke out at this moment, making it difficult for Zhou Xu not to associate it with the diesel they hid in the oil village.

But there's no point blaming Zhou Yifei at this time.

The other party is just a relatively outstanding professional. His main job is the director of an oil factory, and he has no experience in this area. In an emergency situation like that, it is not uncommon for him to not be able to think straight, or out of some reluctance to do something stupid. We should not have too many expectations of him.

The most urgent task right now is to find a way to deal with the current situation!
"Your Majesty, do you want to continue casting spells?"

Locke also noticed the raging fire coming in from the outside and his face was solemn.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xu's first reaction was...

"Locke, can you use 'plant control' to clear a fire barrier from the outside?"

Assuming that the opponent is relying on diesel as a combustion aid to burn the winding vines there, the opponent's diesel can only be thrown from the outside. At this moment, the main thing affected is the winding vines on the outside.

Under this premise, if they can clear a firebreak in time and control the fire so that it cannot continue to spread inward, the impact of this fire on them will be relatively limited.

When the Great Zhou built the mine and the road in the Wood Elf Forest, they had added firebreaks. Locke knew something about this.

But it’s a lot of work…

"Of course I can, but after all this, I'm afraid I won't have any energy left."

Compared with the original rat army, the size of the greenskin army is undoubtedly much smaller, which also allows Locke to save a lot of strength to a certain extent, leaving some spare energy for subsequent operations. But if he does this according to their majesty's request, he will soon have to go down and rest.

In response, Zhou Xu gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.

"No problem, just do as I say!"

Just now, Zhou Xu did some calculations in his mind.

If the fire is allowed to spread and burn all the vines that trap the greenskin soldiers, then the greenskin soldiers outside will surely escape from the sea of ​​fire.

Don't think they will be burned to death in the sea of ​​fire.

Don’t forget that in the New Taipei battlefield, Shi Lei added fuel to the fire but failed to burn them to death. This group of greenskins even took the initiative to jump into the fire pit to build a bridge, allowing other greenskin soldiers to step on their bodies to launch an attack. Their tenacious vitality is simply scary!
Under this premise, if Zhou Xu could use all of Locke's strength to directly replace the large green-skinned army outside, he felt that this deal was still very cost-effective.

After receiving the order, Locke no longer hesitated and took action immediately.

With the rapid movement and sweeping of the vines in the area, a firebreak was quickly cleared.

While it was highly efficient, it also had high consumption. After putting down the staff, the wood elf chief would have collapsed to the ground on the spot if the two accompanying guards had not been quick to support Locke.

"Thank you for your hard work, have a good rest."

The battle was not over yet. After saying a few words to Locke, Zhou Xu's attention quickly returned to the battle situation in front of him.

"Keep up the energy draw and don't stop."

Following Zhou Xu's orders, the Wood Elf Mages led by John continued to cast spells.

Their goal now is to quickly drain the energy of the green-skin soldiers. By then, even if the fire still burns over, the green-skin soldiers who have been drained of their strength will lose their ability to move and will eventually die in the sea of ​​fire.

By then, the greenskins on the opposite side will have lost their main force. Even if they still have the Goblin Wolf Cavalry and some scattered troops, what can they do to them?

Meanwhile, the greenskin commander...

Having experienced the previous battles, they were not completely ignorant of the wood elves' mantra spells, and they were well prepared to attack this time.

They didn't expect that the opponent's strength would increase greatly this time. Along with the increase in strength, the effect of the mantra spell also underwent a qualitative change, which caught them off guard.

Fortunately, they found a good thing in the oil village. It only needs a little spark to burn wildly.

At this moment, looking at the flames rising into the sky in front of him, a hint of pleasure appeared in the eyes of the greenskin commander.

Being forced into a dead end by your own things is not a pleasant feeling.

Obviously, also affected by his vision, the greenskin commander did not know at this moment that within the flames that were rising into the sky, a whole circle of firebreak had been formed. There was no flammable material to support it in the middle, and the fire had been controlled invisibly.

The greenskin commander, who was still unaware of this at the moment, kept urging his greenskin soldiers to throw barrel after barrel of diesel into the sea of ​​fire in the distance!
I never feel bad about using other people’s things!
