Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1066: The Routine is Deep
The efficiency of the green lizard priests can be basically ignored, but Bolevin's actions instantly increased the efficiency of the entire canyon passage dredging, and nearly 90% of the ruins were dealt with in a short period of time.

The remaining 10% was not because there was no time to deal with it, but because Zhou Xu deliberately kept it.

Like I said before, at this stage, now that the passage is blocked, he can actually recover his strength more safely.

By the way, Bo Levin, who had just completed the task of "cleaning up the ruins", also needed some time to recover. After all, high efficiency often means high consumption.

Therefore, let him continue to block the entrance of the canyon for now.

For Zhou Xu, the ideal situation now is to restore himself, Bo Levin and Locke, three extraordinary wizards, to their peak condition.

With these three extraordinary mages in charge, if the opponent dares to summon corpse demons, he will dare to kill them instantly! Let's see what tricks those greenskins can come up with!

Of course, this is just the ideal situation.

In fact, something had already happened on Locke's side.

After all, we are getting old, and as we get older, our energy will begin to decline. This is basically a common problem for all living things.

The decline of energy will directly affect the state of meditation. When it declines to a certain extent, you must go to sleep and rest.

Under this premise, Locke had recently experienced the effects of a long journey and the exhaustion of his mantra power, making his current condition even worse.

Just at this time, because of the collapse of the canyon, they picked up Locke who was resting, put him on horseback and fled.

Although the rocks did not crush him, the bumpy horseback almost killed him.

Zhou Xu had just gone to see him, and he was still paralyzed. Seeing that he was barely breathing, it was estimated that his recovery efficiency would not be fast enough, and it was hard to say how long it would take.

For Zhou Xu, who wanted to recover the lost territory as soon as possible, he probably couldn't wait that long.

Regarding this situation, Zhou Xu could only wait and see.

During this period of time, as an important reconnaissance unit, their Da Zhou's hot air balloon was obviously not idle. Almost every other morning, it flew to the oil village to confirm the situation.

Then we found that the oil village had indeed suffered a certain degree of damage, but it was not so exaggerated to say that it had turned into ruins.

During this period, the greenskins undoubtedly continued to stay in the oil village.

As for the corpse demon, it has completely disappeared!

After confirming this situation, they hurried back and reported to Zhou Xu.

After listening to the latest report, Zhou Xu's face darkened.

"Have you explored the surrounding area?"

"Your Majesty, we have searched the surrounding area and found no trace of the corpse demon!"

They are all professionals in performing reconnaissance missions and naturally would not make such low-level mistakes.

Not to mention that the corpse demon is a huge guy several dozen meters tall. If it was really nearby, there would be no way they could not see it no matter what.

"How many greenskin troops have been confirmed?"

"Roughly speaking, we can see four to five hundred of them. We also found a lot of giant wolf mounts of the Goblin Wolf Cavalry, so there are at least three hundred of them."

There are houses in their oil village, and those greenskins are not stupid. It is impossible for them to stay in the open air, so they can only see part of them.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. We need to continue the follow-up reconnaissance. Don't let up."

The biggest advantage of hot air balloon reconnaissance is that it has a wide field of vision at high altitudes and high reconnaissance efficiency, making it suitable for opening maps.

But the disadvantage is that the reconnaissance time of hot air balloons is limited by fuel, and the movement of hot air balloons depends on wind power, which is uncontrollable, which makes them almost always in a flying state. They can only confirm the target status and obtain intelligence when flying over, but they cannot stay over the oil village and monitor it.

Therefore, their entire action process basically follows a cycle of setting off, confirming the target situation, returning to refuel, and then setting off again.

Not inherently suited to fixed surveillance tasks.

Looking at the retreating scouts, Zhou Xu's expression gradually became solemn.

After enduring the continuous bombings from their barrels of explosives, the size of the corpse demon should have been suppressed to the level of seventy meters.

In addition, the corpse itself will consume energy during the movement.

Let’s assume that the corpse demon’s size has dropped to less than seventy meters, but even so, such a giant cannot be dealt with by ordinary means.

Under this premise, the intelligence brought back by the scouts also mentioned that although the oil village was damaged, it was not completely reduced to ruins.

This means that the corpse demon was dealt with before it had a chance to show its destructive power.

Combining all kinds of information together, if the corpse demon was not led away by the other party, then Zhou Xu could only draw one conclusion, that is, there was at least a strong man in the Extraordinary Realm or the Hundred Refining Realm in the greenskin army!
In the next few days, the scouts' further reconnaissance results basically confirmed Zhou Xu's guess.

A behemoth like that will inevitably leave huge footprints while moving, and may even cause obvious damage to the environment along the way.

However, in the area, apart from the traces left along the way when Xuan Yu led the corpse demon to the Oil Village, there were basically no other traces.

This made Zhou Xu basically certain that it was the strong man in the greenskin army who took action and solved the problem of the corpse demon in a short time.

This was obviously not good news for them, and it also made Zhou Xu feel a lingering fear.

The hidden strong man on the opposite side had not taken any action before.

Imagine if there was no landslide, but the Lizardman arrived in time and Bolevin took action to directly deal with the corpse demon, what would the situation be like afterwards?

In that kind of situation, they would naturally turn from defense to offense and pursue the victory.

At that time, the hidden strong man on the opposite side will take action...

When he thought of this, Zhou Xu's expression turned noticeably ugly.

The green skin's tactics are more complicated than he expected!
As his thoughts raced, Zhou Xu called Jie Liancheng, Zhou Chongshan, Bo Lewen and others over to discuss the matter.

The content of the discussion naturally revolved around the strong man in the opposing greenskin army.

There was nothing much to say about Bo Lewen. With his talent of "Hand of Control" and "Telekinesis", he dared to fight even if there was an extraordinary wizard or a warrior in the Hundred Refining Realm on the opposite side.

To be frank, he has hardly met many opponents in the same level.

I remember that when he was at his peak, he could suppress the rat people on the opposite side and make them unable to raise their heads.

Just say "It's all at your command, Your Majesty!" and that's it.

In comparison, Xie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan are much more low-key at this moment.

Although Xie Liancheng said during the previous chat that his injuries were not serious, there was no doubt that he was just being stubborn.

He won't die, but his injuries are not light, and he won't be able to recover in ten days or half a month.

Especially Xie Liancheng. In addition to the injuries on his body, he also suffered from the overload brought to his body by the frequent use of "Lightning Dance". During this period of time, his muscles were in tearing pain. A while ago, he had to gasp for breath every time he moved a few times. It was only in the past two days that he felt a little better. His condition was even more serious than Zhou Chongshan's.
