Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1082 In the Snowstorm

"There is actually such a ban?"

In order to ensure Bam's safety, the Dragon God Ceylon set up a barrier in the temple. Zhou Xu knew about this, but he originally thought that the barrier was just a protective shield. He didn't expect that there was such a restriction in it.

At the same time, he quickly realized how valuable this ban was.

According to the previous assumption, assuming that there are several mages at the Saint level in the Great Zhou, how do you ensure that they don't secretly absorb the natural energy in the area for cultivation?
Not to mention that when the two armies are fighting, what if there is a wizard who has reached the saint realm on the other side?

It would be even worse if the other side sucked away the natural energy in your area.

But as long as this ban is in place, this problem can be avoided to a large extent.

And under this premise, the existence of natural energy can directly become their backup energy source in the area.

In case a battle breaks out in the area, you will have consumed a lot of energy fighting the enemy on the first day. Including the rest time, it may take two or three days for you to be revived with full blood by absorbing the natural energy in the area. What a great help this will be!
At this moment, Zhou Xu wished he could grow wings and fly to Ceylon City to study the restriction carefully.

But he was just thinking about it casually now.

The situation in the northeast region is unclear at the moment. He doesn't think that the green-skinned general with the strength of the Vajra Realm will give up after they cut off his arm.

In addition, affected by the severe cold winter climate, the Lizardman troops led by Bo Levin simply could not stay here.

As the most important combat force in the Northeast region at this stage, how could Zhou Xu leave at this moment?

Now it all depends on when the other side will take action.

As for taking the initiative...

Zhou Xu has no such plan for the time being.

Considering the current situation of himself and the border defense forces, it would be safer to launch a defensive counterattack.

It would not only allow the border soldiers to receive more training and improve their strength, but it would also allow him and John, who had just achieved a breakthrough, to have more time to practice.

It's a new day, and the sky in this area of ​​Northeast China is once again filled with snow and wind.

The snowfall was not heavy, but the biting cold wind outside was so cold that it hurt people's cheeks and made people not want to stay outside for long.

At this moment, amidst the cold wind that sounded like the cry of a ghost, a loud and clear cry came from the sky.

Upon hearing this sound, the patrol teams on the border who were leading their wolves and performing their duties in the snow and wind suddenly became tense!

"There's a situation!"

"Quick! Blow the whistle! Sound the alarm!!"

In such a windy and snowy day, ordinary birds cannot fly normally. The only one who can do this in the area is Xuan Yu, an extraordinary creature!
The border guards who knew this information naturally knew what Xuan Yu's cry meant.

Behind the defense line, a large number of soldiers led by Li Ce quickly gathered together and directly entered the highest level of alert.

During this time, Xuan Yu continued to fly backwards while chirping.

It didn't take long before we flew to the oil village.

"Something happened! Hurry, rush to the border!"

Led by Zhou Xu, the imperial guards stationed in the Oil Village put on their armor and marched out at the fastest speed, galloping all the way towards the border line.

At the same time, the Oil Village had already set up its forces. They had done something this winter.

At the front of the defense line over there, there were rows of chevaux de frise. These chevaux de frise were specially made, using thicker tree trunks to make them larger and heavier than ordinary chevaux de frise.

The main purpose is to deal with the main force of the greenskins on the opposite side.

Behind the chevaux de frise, the soldiers in the front row were holding large shields, and further back stood the crossbowmen of the Great Zhou holding individual crossbows!

This batch of individual crossbows were urgently transferred after the war. There are a total of 300 crossbows, which is already the limit.

After all, before this, the individual crossbows produced were supplied to plain fortresses first.

It is considered good enough that the northeastern border can now gather a crossbow unit of 300 people.

Later on, they built simple sentry towers with wood at regular intervals, distributed in a fan-shaped pattern, pointing to the area outside the border line.

And deployed on the watchtower are city defense crossbows!

Logically speaking, considering that the greenskin troops may have giant units such as ogres, they should arrange more powerful three-bow crossbows.

However, after considering the actual situation and studying the tactical arrangements, Li Ce directly chose to abandon the three-bow crossbow and use a city defense crossbow that was less powerful but more flexible and could reach high places.

After all, there were no walls or gates on the border for them to use some city defense tactics, and they only had simple chevaux de frise to defend themselves.

Under this premise, the three-bow crossbow has a limited attack angle and is not flexible to adjust. Moreover, if they want to attack, they have to move the barricades away first, which will undoubtedly directly affect their entire layout.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Li Ce made such a choice.

Judging from his qualifications, Li Ce is undoubtedly one of the veterans with the most battlefield experience within their Great Zhou.

But this was his first time facing the greenskins, so he was a little nervous.

But he was a veteran after all, and he handled his emotions very well, not showing them at all. In the eyes of the soldiers around him, Li Ce was just calmly confirming the deployment of various areas again and again, but they didn't know that this was already a manifestation of his nervousness.

In the wind and snow, bursts of muffled sounds soon came, and Li Ce's face was startled when he heard the noise.

【Eye of Insight! 】

As the truth was spoken, a large number of figures advancing in the wind and snow in the distance suddenly entered Li Ce's field of vision.

The greenskin troops obviously had no intention of waiting for the snowstorm to stop before launching an offensive.

In their view, compared with fragile humans, they are more adaptable to this severe cold and snowy weather and are less affected than humans, which gives them an advantage.

Li Ce took a deep breath, kept his mind calm, and issued orders as quickly as possible.

"Notify all sentry towers and prepare the city defense crossbows!"

"Enemy troops are advancing this way. It is not certain whether there are ogres yet."

"Wait until the enemy enters the range. Once the ogre is spotted, focus fire on the ogre first!"

Orders were quickly issued one after another from Li Ce.

Behind the chevaux de frise, the perimeter defense forces are ready to go!
They waited for the moment when the greenskin troops on the other side entered their range, pulled the trigger, and the whistling sound of the special crossbow arrows cutting through the air completely opened the curtain of this battle! !
