Chapter 1061 Unsolvable Problem
The greenskins must have realized that the combination of hot air balloons and explosive barrels, coupled with the natural environmental advantages of the canyon pass, almost created an unsolvable problem for them. .
The green-skinned troops, who couldn't figure out how to break the situation, were temporarily silent, which was undoubtedly a good thing for Zhou Xu and the others.
After all, the longer they rest now, the better they will recover.
Two days passed, and Locke, now a royal mage, finally arrived.
Although they took boats and carriages along the way, it still taxed Locke's old bones.
After all, he was old, and the journey was extremely urgent, so he hurried and hurried slowly. When Locke's carriage arrived at the canyon camp, when he got off the carriage, his legs were weak and his old face was pale.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu quickly arranged a tent for Locke to have a good rest.
It’s hard to wait for an extraordinary mage, but you can’t wait while you’re on the road!
Fortunately, Locke's condition basically recovered after a good night's rest, which also made Zhou Xu greatly relieved.
Locke's arrival is of strategic value to them!
With an extraordinary mage like him at the helm, it can basically ensure that even if the green-skinned troops launch another offensive, they will be able to securely hold the canyon pass.
However, after the last confrontation, the greenskin troops have been silent for a long time.
During this process, Zhou Xuyou sent a hot air balloon to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance.
At this time, it has been determined that the green-skinned troops will directly use their oil village as a camp and station themselves.
I have been resting there for the past few days and have not made any further moves.
Zhou Xu, who confirmed this information, felt a little complicated.
The other party didn't attack, and there was no pressure on their side. He was indeed relieved.
But while he was relieved, he couldn't help but worry a little whether the other party was trying to hold back some big moves for him.
This situation can actually be solved to a large extent as long as the Lizardmen reinforcements arrive and they immediately switch from defense to offense and take the initiative.
But the lizardmen's reinforcements haven't arrived yet.
This is something that can't be helped. A large army rushing on the road is different from a small army with all members riding horses or riding carriages.
A large army must be equipped with a large number of infantry, and their movement efficiency is mainly based on the speed of the infantry.
Although he knew the reason, it was obviously not enough to relieve his mood, which made Zhou Xu feel a little irritable recently.
Of course, he didn't show it.
In the eyes of others, their Majesty looked calm and confident throughout the whole process. In addition, the previous battle in which he successfully forced back the green-skinned troops made the frontline troops feel as stable as a rock.
The sun sets in the west, and with another round of day and night, the sky quickly becomes dark.
Put aside the negative emotions in his heart, Zhou Xu still maintains his daily routine of sleeping and meditating.
According to his current strength, if he does nothing else and devotes himself to recovery work, it will take almost half a month for the mantra power in his body to be fully restored.
At this moment, five days have not passed yet.
Considering that he was in a bad state the first day, mainly sleeping and not meditating much, Zhou Xu's mantra power in his body was almost restored to 30%.
An extraordinary mage with 30% strength is not something that ordinary mage can just touch, but in Zhou Xu's own opinion, it is obviously not enough.
Wait a few more days, and by then his mantra power should be restored to 50%. At the same time, the lizardman reinforcements should also arrive. Together with Locke, an extraordinary mage, they can directly destroy the opponent in one wave! Take back lost ground!
However, the reality did not go as he wished...
With a loud cry, Zhou Xu, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time, the whole person followed it completely instinctively. The bed bounced.
"Quick! Wear armor for me!"
It was Xuan Yu's cry! In the past few days, Xuanyu has become accustomed to flying out at night to stare at the green skin on the opposite side. As soon as the green skin on the opposite side makes a move, it will immediately fly back to warn him.
The garrison on this side of the canyon all know this. Now when Xuanyu screams, the sound is like an alarm, causing all the resting soldiers in the canyon to wake up, and at the same time, those who are keeping watch at night The team has entered the first level of combat readiness as quickly as possible!
Xuan Yu’s advance warning gave them sufficient reaction time.
By the time the green-skinned troops arrived at the outskirts of the canyon, the garrison troops here were already ready to attack!
As always, three rounds of fire arrows flew out, illuminating the night and providing vision.
During this process, Zhou Xu had also put on his armor, came to the back of the canyon defense line, and looked outside.
In the light of the fire, they could now see the green-skinned troops.
【If we take action at this time, does the other side have a means to crack my hot air balloon and explosive barrel? 】
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu's eyes became a little solemn.
At the same time, just as he was thinking this, the green-skinned troops on the opposite side were already advancing.
The burly green-skinned soldiers were still at the front. Judging from their actions, they were no different from before.
But Zhou Xu had already concluded in his heart that the opponent must have some means, otherwise this wave of attacks would be meaningless.
[How about waiting for the large force from the opposite side to push up, and then letting Locke take action directly to strike first? 】
Zhou Xu's idea at this moment is quite simple. Let Locke team up with the Wood Elf Mage Group and use the combination of 'Savage Growth' and 'Energy Draining' to control the field. Even if the opponent has the means, he will not have the chance to use it. It is simple and crude. nip it in the cradle!
Zhou Xu has never been a particularly entangled person. Even if he encounters something that makes him entangled, he will make a decision in a short time. The same is true at this time.
【It’s decided, let’s do it! 】
After Zhou Xu confirmed his idea, he immediately called Locke and John over to arrange tactics with them.
In the past few days, many seeds of entangled vines have been deployed in the area outside the canyon in advance, which now saves them a step.
Choosing the right moment, at the moment when the green-skinned troops on the opposite side advanced outside their canyon, Locke and the wood elf mage group cooperated with each other. Once they came up, they had no reservations and attacked with all their strength!
【Savage growth! 】
【Energy absorption! 】
With an extraordinary mage sitting in charge, the effect of the mantra is unmatched before.
The twining vines that grew out of their shells were like the impact of an explosion, quickly sweeping in the advancing green-skinned troops.
This scene refreshed the spirits of the soldiers in the canyon, and many soldiers could not help but cheer.
Once the covering of entangled vines is formed, it will be a matter of time to cooperate with the 'energy absorption' to disintegrate an entire army on the opposite side.
“How come the effect of this mantra spell has become so much stronger?!”
At the same time, in the darkness, a frustrated voice sounded. This performance was consistent with what they had collected before. The information is seriously inconsistent.
"It's an extraordinary mage! There must be an extraordinary mage on the opposite side!"
While talking, the other party couldn't help but curse again.
But things have reached this point, and their original plan obviously cannot be stopped because of this accident.
“Damn it! Do it!!”
With the issuance of this order, a group of burly green-skinned soldiers walked out of the darkness on the outer battlefield, each with their shoulders on their shoulders. Holding a big bucket.
After approaching the area covered with entangled vines, they suddenly threw the bucket out. After the bucket fell to the ground and broke, a large amount of liquid inside spilled out and splashed everywhere.
Then, as a torch was thrown, there was only a muffled sound of "boom", and the fire almost shot up into the sky, lighting up a large area of the night!
