Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1074: When in doubt, choose Li Ce

Looking at the piles of green-skinned corpses, Zhou Chongshan still did not let his guard down.

"Pile all these bodies together and burn them!"

Although the corpses of the greenskins are also quite good trophies for their Great Zhou, at the same time, these greenskin corpses can also be used as sacrifices to summon corpse demons.

In this special period, Zhou Chongshan obviously did not want to take any risks.

It was not until the flames shot up into the sky and Zhou Chongshan watched the greenskin's body being gradually burned in the flames that he breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, the large army took a short rest and then advanced directly towards the oil village.

The greenskin general and the goblin wolf riders obviously knew that the Oil Village could no longer be defended at this point in the battle, and there was no way they could escape back here.

This allowed the large army led by Zhou Chongshan to enter the Oil Village unimpeded.

It has to be said that this oil village was messed up by those greenskins. As soldiers of the Great Zhou, they were also furious when they saw this scene.

When Zhou Xu woke up from his coma, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

Even though he had opened his eyes, Zhou Xu still felt dizzy.

Before I could even wake up, I heard a pleasantly surprised voice...

"Your Majesty is awake, Your Majesty is awake!"

Not long after that, hurried footsteps were heard from outside.

Silk, Zhou Chongshan, Jie Liancheng, soon, a familiar face appeared in his field of vision.

"Where am I now?"

Zhou Xu spoke slowly, his voice hoarse.

"Your Majesty, we are now in the Oil Village..."

As he spoke, Zhou Chongshan recounted what happened next as quickly as possible.

After listening quietly, Zhou Xu nodded.

"You did very well."

In the Northeast region, the Oil Village is their most important and valuable stronghold. After successfully taking it back, basically everything will be easy.

Next, Zhou Chongshan reported to him in detail the casualties on his side.

During this section, Zhou Xu basically just listened there. There was no other way. The power of mantra was the embodiment of mental power. After the power of mantra was severely consumed, the whole consciousness would become drowsy.

Zhou Xu could clearly feel that his brain was completely unable to work.

Even if he tried to think about something, he would feel a tearing pain in his head, forcing him to give up thinking.

This was not the first time Zhou Xu had encountered a situation like this, and this time he lay down very thoroughly.

Generally speaking, although the opponent is aggressive, their casualties in this wave are not that great.

On the main battlefield, in the early stage, Zhou Xu's skeleton troops dragged the opponent's greenskin troops to resist damage, while the lizardman troops steadily output damage.

Afterwards, the green-skinned general on the opposite side rushed over and broke through the Lizardmen's position, which did cause them some casualties, but in the final analysis, it was just that one blow.

After the green-skinned general escaped, Zhou Chongshan and the Wood Elf Mage Corps acted in time to stabilize the situation. As for the flank battlefield, it goes without saying that, apart from the excellent tracking ability of the Goblin Wolf Cavalry, the Speed ​​Dragon Cavalry is obviously stronger than the opponent in terms of comprehensive combat power.

The only advantage of the opponent in this wave was the wolf cavalry leader, but he was restricted by Xuan Yu. Apart from successfully killing a few dragoon cavalry at the beginning, he had no place to display his skills later on.

Not to mention, they were able to counter each other's moves along the way and actually managed to defeat them.

However, leaving aside the issue of casualties, the losses in other areas were still huge.

For example, himself, as well as Bolevin and the Wood Elf Mage Group.

Two mages at the peak of the extraordinary realm and an entire group of mages were now completely defeated.

In addition, Xie Liancheng's previous "Lightning Dance" directly caused his old injuries to relapse, and even aggravated his injuries. Although he can still walk a few steps now, he will undoubtedly have to be more honest in the days to come.

At present, among all the high-end combat forces in the Great Zhou, the only ones who still have certain combat capabilities are Zhou Chongshan and Silk.

Zhou Chongshan was actually also injured, but compared with Jie Liancheng, his condition was much better. As long as he didn't face an equally strong enemy, he could still deal with ordinary opponents.

As for Silk, his injury was not serious, but he was exhausted. From the defensive battle at the canyon pass to the battlefield in the dense forest, when Zhou Xu, Jie Liancheng, Zhou Chongshan, and the Wood Elf Mage Corps were all paralyzed, he was the one who held on.

Once you encounter a crisis situation, immediately use "Wind Slash".

Fortunately, Silk's spiritual star level is as high as five stars, and the mantra power in his body is much more abundant than that of ordinary warriors, otherwise he would not be able to withstand such constant consumption.

For the next week, Zhou Xu basically spent most of his time sleeping. In his current state, he was simply unable to meditate. After such severe exhaustion, he would need at least ten days or half a month to recover to the point where he could meditate normally.

During this period, the climate in the Northeast has clearly become colder.

This means that the Lizardman troops must retreat.

In the current living environment of the lizard people, the coldest is only the temperate zone, where the lowest temperature in winter is only a few degrees below zero. By wearing thick winter clothes, they can still withstand it.

But here in the Northeast, there is a big drop in temperature, which can drop directly to minus ten degrees Celsius, or even twenty or thirty degrees Celsius. Many human soldiers cannot bear it. This is undoubtedly too dangerous for the Lizard People who mainly live in the tropics.

Not to mention that Boleyn is also weak due to the serious consumption of mantra power. What if a mage at the peak of the extraordinary realm does not die on the battlefield but instead freezes to death in the northeast region with a temperature of minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius? Then he will have no place to cry.

It just so happened that the new recruits recruited from Black Moon City had completed their training that day. At the same time, Li Ce, the chief commander of the New South District, also arrived in the Northeast region with part of his troops after receiving the order, just in time for a handover.

"General Li Ce pays respect to His Majesty!"

"Please get up quickly."

As he spoke, Zhou Xu personally helped Li Ce up.

"It's been a long journey, thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Xu felt a little embarrassed when he said this.

Back then, Li Ce was the commander-in-chief of the southern border, responsible for commanding the lizardman troops to fight against the ratmen.

Later, after comprehensive consideration, Zhou Xu transferred him to the New South District, and later became the commander-in-chief of the New South District, and lived a stable life for several years.

As a result, now he transferred me to the Northeast region, which is really a hassle.

But Zhou Xu said that he had no choice. In terms of comprehensive qualities, Li Ce could be said to have the strongest comprehensive ability among all the generals under his command.

His intelligence and command are both four stars, and his talent is also a universal talent like 'Attack on the Heart' that can be applied to any occasion. He is truly an all-round talent!
This also made Zhou Xu develop a habit of "choosing Li Ce when in doubt".
