Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1067 Appearance
Sitting in the meeting tent, Zhou Xu was also having a headache at the moment.

If Li Ce, Shi Lei, Bai Tu, Soros and others were here, they could discuss tactics with him, analyze the enemy, and weigh the next options.

But sitting next to him now were Jie Liancheng, Zhou Chongshan and Bo Levin.

To put it bluntly, these three are mainly focused on fighting. There's no point in discussing tactics with them!
At times like this, he could only worry about it himself.

[According to the previous scouts' report, there are at least four to five hundred visible troops on the opposite side, and we also found nearly three hundred giant wolf mounts of the Goblin Wolf Cavalry, which means there are at least three hundred more Goblin Wolf Cavalry.]

[According to this line of thought, conservatively speaking, the greenskins on the other side probably have a thousand soldiers, no more, no less.]

[However, we now have 2,000 Lizardmen troops. In terms of manpower, we are not afraid of the enemy. ]

[The only uncertain factor now is what the situation is with the green-skinned warrior on the opposite side, and how many warriors there are on the opposite side. ]

Zhou Xu fell into deep thought around this question.

From the perspective of personal intention, he wants to regain lost ground as soon as possible, so he is undoubtedly more inclined to launch an offensive in a short period of time.

In this way, you can also bet that the green-skinned warrior on the opposite side has not recovered yet. If the bet is right, the situation will be reversed in an instant.

But on the other hand, if you bet wrong, you will definitely face a tough battle.

Of course, Zhou Xu had another choice, which was to wait for another month until Locke fully recovered and Zhou Chongshan and Jie Liancheng's injuries were fully healed before launching any troops.

By that time, they were undoubtedly fully prepared, but the other side must have been fully prepared as well.

And in this process, they are actually handing over the initiative completely to the other side.

Should I play it safe or be a gambler and take risks?
Zhou Xu pondered over these two choices for a long time, and finally made a decision by slapping his thigh.

"Move the troops!"

Winter is about to come. At this critical juncture, the country is being occupied and it is not a good thing for their large army to be stuck here for a long time.

Apart from anything else, after winter comes, the climate here is much colder than that in the south, and it can easily drop to minus ten degrees Celsius.

By then, even if the Lizardmen troops could hold on here with the help of their thick winter clothes, their combat effectiveness would certainly be significantly affected, which would be disadvantageous to them.

In this case, considering their own combat power composition, it would be best for them to end the battle and regain lost ground before the temperature drops sharply in winter!
After Zhou Xu made the decision, the following three naturally had no objections. The only thing they wanted to do was to obey orders.

Without further ado, the next morning Zhou Xu ordered his men to move the rocks that blocked the canyon exit. Then after another day of rest, the large force advanced directly towards the oil village.

From the canyon area to the oil village, you will pass through a forest.

In order to facilitate transportation and obtain building materials locally for some infrastructure construction in the Northeast, they directly ordered the logging team to cut down trees on a large scale and clear a road that runs through the entire forest, so that subsequent teams can directly cross the forest area and improve travel efficiency.

But for Zhou Xu, the current situation is obviously not a peaceful road.

Halfway through the journey, rustling sounds could be heard from the dense woods on both sides. It was the sound of something moving quickly through the trees with light footsteps.

With a quick scan, the figures of the goblin wolf cavalry soon entered Zhou Xu's field of vision.

"The entire army is on alert!!"

Obviously, the greenskin troops on the opposite side did not intend to fight a good defensive battle.

In other words, the greenskins themselves are not good at fighting defensive battles. In comparison, the geographical environment of this forest is relatively complex, which is more conducive to the performance of the Goblin Wolf Cavalry.

The greenskins, aware of this, set up the battlefield here directly after receiving the news that the Great Zhou troops had launched an operation.

Almost at the same time when the Goblin Wolf Riders appeared from the dense forests on both sides, burly green-skinned soldiers also appeared on the road ahead of them.

"WAAAAGH!!!!"

With no intention of giving up the initiative to the humans on the opposite side, the greenskin troops in the front charged directly towards them with a war cry.

Facing the aggressive greenskin troops, Zhou Xu gave the order in a deep voice...

"Spear formation!"

At this moment, the Lizardmen soldiers have replaced the Imperial Guards and the Trap Camp, which have suffered heavy casualties, and have become the absolute main force on the front line.

Now that they received the order, the blue lizard spearmen moved quickly and raised the crystal iron spears in their hands, while shouting war cries!

"For the Emperor!"

"For the Emperor!!!"

At this moment, the Lizardmen soldiers were full of fighting spirit.

Amid the shouts of war, the troops of both sides soon engaged in a battle.

At the same time, under the cover of the dense forest, the Goblin Wolf Cavalry roaming on both sides of the battlefield were also waiting for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on their Great Zhou's battle formation from the flank and rear.

However, just as there was movement here, a burst of faster footsteps soon sounded from the dense forest.

Along with the sound of footsteps, the Swift Dragon Cavalry, who had been deliberately lagging behind to hide their whereabouts during the march, showed up in force!

Looking at this unfamiliar cavalry unit running through the dense forest as if they were walking on flat ground, the wolf cavalry commander's face instantly darkened.

Needless to say, their operation has been seen through by the opponent.

The battle has reached this point and there is no room for maneuver. Now is the time to compete with hard power!

As this thought flashed through his mind, the wolf cavalry commander quickly made up his mind. He rode on his giant wolf mount, held two swords in hand, and led his goblin wolf cavalry troops to charge forward, intending to compete with the opposite side!
At a glance, the wolf cavalry leader swung his double swords and directly cut a velociraptor rider who was rushing towards him into two pieces.

The special glow on the blood-stained blade was particularly eye-catching in the dimly lit forest.

"Damn it, it's a warrior in the Hundred Refining Realm!"

There are warriors in the Hundred Refinements Realm or mages in the Extraordinary Realm in the greenskin troops!

Zhou Xu had announced this news long before the departure so that the soldiers could be mentally prepared.

But when this warrior in the Hundred Refinements Realm really showed up, he still inevitably caused a commotion.

Feeling the panic on the opposite side and smelling the strong smell of blood after killing the enemy, the wolf cavalry commander took a deep breath, and his face couldn't help but show a bit of intoxication.

Then his mouth opened wide, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, and the smile quickly turned cruel!
