Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1103 Preparation before the war
"Go to hell! WAAAAGH!!!"

Compared to the black panther, which is a supernatural creature, the fighting power of the animals that appeared later was obviously much more average.

The Goblin Wolf Cavalry noticed this at just one encounter, and murderous intent suddenly burst out of his eyes. He swung the butcher knife in his hand, ready to kill the fool who dared to block his way!
At this critical moment, the black panther jumped out from the shadow under the Goblin Wolf Rider! While ripping open the opponent's mount, it bit the Goblin Wolf Rider to death!
After the attack, the black panther did not stop. Its agile body seemed to be soluble in water. With a smooth diving movement, it dived directly into the shadows.

Soon, screams one after another rang out in the dark forest.

“This should be the last one, right?”

Looking at the corpse in front of it, the black panther spoke in human language, and as it felt the blood in its mouth, it couldn't help spitting.

During this process, a flash of light appeared, and a group of animals, led by the black panther, turned into human forms.

It was the elven druid team led by Sion!
After a whole winter of hard work, Sion finally succeeded in breaking through the bottleneck and became the only elven druid in their tribe who had reached the extraordinary realm!

Compared to the Wood Elf mages, who are quite numerous and can form a mage regiment, the Elf Druids, as a very special mage unit in the Wood Elf clan, are much smaller in number. So far, there are only eight of them in total, basically a team, with Sion as the team leader.

Under this premise, the way the elven druids display their combat power is also very special. Their combat power is completely displayed through "Transfiguration".

After an Elf Druid successfully signs a contract with a 'beast spirit' and obtains the qualification to transform, he can use 'Transfiguration' to transform into the 'beast spirit's' appearance before its death and display the corresponding combat power.

Under this premise, the strength of the 'beast spirit' during its lifetime will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the combat effectiveness of the elven druid after its transformation.

Among the eight elven druids, only Sion was the luckiest.

The 'beast spirit' that signed a contract with him was a supernatural creature called Shadow Cheetah.

The shadow cheetah had been living in the Wood Elf Forest. According to information provided by Chief Locke, the shadow cheetah was at least four hundred years old.

They lived together with the Shadow Cheetah in the forest. The Shadow Cheetah would hunt animals in the forest for food but would not attack them. This allowed the two sides to live in peace and they accidentally became good neighbors for hundreds of years.

Later, Shadow Cheetah died of old age. Sion, who was still a little kid at the time, was very lucky to win his favor and signed a contract with the leader of Shadow Cheetah.

However, due to the limitations of Sion's own magic skills, as an extraordinary beast spirit, the power of the Shadow Cheetah was obviously not fully utilized.

It was not until Sion broke through the bottleneck and became a superb wizard that he unleashed Shadow Cheetah's mantra, Shadow Stealth!
The effect of Shadow Stealth allows Sion, who maintains the form of Shadow Cheetah, to sneak into the shadow and move at super high speed in the shadow regardless of the terrain level.

This ability almost makes Sion the most deadly hunter in his class!
However, this ability is also very limited.

He must use connected shadows to move freely. In other words, without a shadow, or if the two shadows are completely separated and there is no connecting channel, he will not be able to move through shadow stealth.

In addition, maintaining the shadow stealth state will have a huge continuous consumption, and maintaining the transformation will also bring continuous consumption to Sion.

At this moment, just by using this trick to wipe out the opposing Goblin Wolf Cavalry Squad, he had already consumed almost 70% of the power of the mantra in his body.

But it was undoubtedly worth it. With the high-speed movement of Shadow Stealth, Sion kept all the Goblin Wolf Cavalry who tried to scatter like birds and beasts. This was enough to ensure that the news here would not be transmitted back in a short time. The entire dominance was still in their hands!
After the Goblin Wolf Cavalry Squad was wiped out, the Great Zhou's reconnaissance troops were no longer constrained, making their entire operation more efficient. However, they did not dare to relax at all.

After all, if the reconnaissance team does not send back information for a long time, no matter how stupid the other side is, they will notice something is wrong and take action.

What they have to do now is to confirm the location of the greenskin base camp before the other side reacts, and then send back the news so that they can launch follow-up actions in the rear of Da Zhou, seize the initiative and take the initiative!

Meanwhile, at the border camp...

This was the sixth day after Zhou Xu arrived at the front line. The loud eagle cry brought a commotion to the border camp.

"Don't be nervous!"

Zhou Xu, who heard the noise, hurried out. After confirming the situation, he quickly asked the border defense troops led by Li Ce to relax.

"Our troops have arrived!"

Almost at the same time when Zhou Xu shouted this sentence, the figures flying in the air circled and fell quickly.

It was not until this moment that the border guards below finally saw the true face of the person coming.

They are elven soldiers, and through features such as hair color and eye color, it can be quickly determined that they are from the wood elf clan.

Each of them was wearing simple and light leather armor, carrying a bow and arrow on their backs and holding a spear in their hands.

Of course, these are not the point now. The point is that the mounts they are riding are giant eagles of huge size!
Needless to say, this is exactly the Giant Eagle Knight that Zhou Xu started to train a few years ago!

The Giant Eagle Knights' training base is currently on the grassland outside Xianyang City.

From scratch, after years of breeding, the Giant Eagle Knight can finally be put into initial use.

The first Giant Eagle Knight unit of their Great Zhou consisted of a total of twenty Giant Eagle Knights.

Taking into account the time point, all the Lizardmen's pterosaur riders were deployed to the southern fortress and the volcanic island area, so before this operation, Zhou Xu specifically ordered to summon this Giant Eagle Knight unit to provide assistance for the battle on the northeastern border.

This number is certainly not enough for them to be used as the main force on the battlefield, but for some air support and reconnaissance operations, they are undoubtedly better than hot air balloons.

At the same time, the addition of these twenty Giant Eagle Knights also enables this border defense force to have the ability to pose a tactical threat to the enemy in the rear at any time!
Li Ce, realizing this, became noticeably more excited.

According to the original plan, these twenty Giant Eagle Knights were to move with the main force.

However, after receiving the news from the front line, they undoubtedly chose to arrive at the front line before the main force, and also brought them the latest news from the main force.

The main force is expected to arrive at the front line within three days!
