Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Send a signal that has been confirmed in advance, and there are giant eagle knights waiting to pick him up outside.

After he successfully rode the giant eagle and flew high into the sky, Sean was completely relieved.

At the same time, Zhou Xu's side...

Basically, Fisher and Peter gathered here just as things were arranged here.

Li Ce directly called a halt to the advance. With such a big commotion, in addition to Yarvet, who also received the intelligence at the beginning, the other two must come to ask what happened.

"Our reconnaissance team found an ambush of goblin wolf cavalry in front, with a scale of about 2,000. In addition, there is a large forest farther away. We suspect that there may be a larger ambush. We have sent people to confirm it now, but there is no result yet."

As soon as Zhou Xu said this, Fisher and Peter's faces suddenly became solemn.

As reinforcements, the most feared thing is to be intercepted by the enemy's large force halfway. If they fight with the enemy directly on the road, they will be stuck in the middle and will easily fall into a passive position.

They didn't have to wait too long. With the speed of the Giant Eagle Knight, the efficiency of this round trip was relatively high.

Sion, who returned to the army, came to report as soon as possible.

"Reporting to His Majesty, there is indeed a large-scale ambush of greenskins in the forest. Preliminary estimates show that there are at least tens of thousands!"

Hearing this, Fisher and Peter on the side changed their faces instantly.

For their human troops, fighting against greenskins in the wild will probably become a nightmare unless they have a clear advantage in manpower.

And this time, they obviously don't have any manpower advantage. Not only that, there are even a large number of Luosha Republicans' "miscellaneous troops" filling the numbers.

Fisher, who realized this, subconsciously glanced at Zhou Xu and Yarvette.

Obviously, in Fisher's view, once a battle breaks out, they will have to rely on the troops of Da Zhou and the female warriors.

Zhou Xu and Yarvette noticed the sight from Fisher, but neither of them cared.

During this time, Sean's report continued...

"I found the Blood Hand King among the greenskins. There is another greenskin next to him. I estimate that he should also be a strong man at the level of Vajra Realm!"

Sean's subsequent report made everyone feel more solemn.

"The Blood Hand Clan itself has two strong greenskins at the level of Vajra Realm. Is the one standing next to the Blood Hand King that greenskin?"

Faced with the question, Sean shook his head.

"No, the Blood Hand Clan's double-bladed figure is relatively slender, and the one we saw just now is more burly."

"If nothing unexpected happens, that should be the strong man sent by the Greenskin Royal Family."

After listening to the report, Zhou Xu made a judgment in a deep voice.

"If the Blood Hand Clan has taken all our existence into consideration in advance, then they must have prepared enough combat power to destroy us when they mobilized this time."

Zhou Xu's judgment made the atmosphere on the scene more solemn.

"Then how does Emperor Zhou think we should deal with it now?"

This is not the Smith Republic. Among the three forces in this wave of support, the Great Zhou is the strongest, and the female warrior tribe is also on the side of the Great Zhou.

Fisher can naturally distinguish between the big and small kings. At this time, even if he has an idea, it is useless if the Emperor Zhou in front of him does not nod. It is better to ask the other party to make the decision directly, support the other party, and sell a favor.

Peter, who was watching this scene, was disdainful in his heart, but at the same time he was a little annoyed. He just felt that Fisher was a flatterer.

But no one at the scene obviously cared about his thoughts, and almost all eyes fell on Zhou Xu at the same time.

As for this problem, Zhou Xu had actually discussed various countermeasures with Li Ce long before they arrived. There was no need to think too much at this time, so he just spoke...

"Let the main force retreat first and keep a safe distance from the enemy. During this period, we will arrange for Pegasus Knights to fly to the Saint Laurent Empire to inform them of the situation. If the greenskins really transfer so many combat forces here and want to destroy us, the combat power on the main battlefield will inevitably decline. In this way, the Saint Laurent Empire can seize the opportunity to launch an offensive."

Following Zhou Xu's thoughts, Yalvette and Fisher's eyes gradually lit up.

"In this situation, if the greenskins still want to destroy us first, then we will continue to retreat. If the Saint Laurent Empire wants to turn the tables, it will definitely not miss this opportunity."

"On the other hand, if the greenskins withdraw their troops and return to the main battlefield, then we will change direction and continue to advance."

"If they turn around and chase us again, we will turn around and retreat, and use this method to keep fighting with them."

This is undoubtedly a very troublesome tactic for both parties, but it can largely allow them to avoid the biggest risks. At the same time, more importantly, in this process of constant pulling, it can form an opportunity for victory!

After briefly explaining the tactical thinking, the specific arrangements behind were handed over to Li Ce.

"Then should we give an order now and let the troops start to retreat?"

Peter followed his thoughts and prepared to take action, but was interrupted by Li Ce.

"No hurry."

Zhou Xu had already spoken just now, and Li Ce is now the plenipotentiary representative of the Great Zhou.

"We are not in a hurry to launch any action. We have been traveling for almost a week since our last rest period. At this point in time, the greenskin army ambushing three kilometers away probably cannot grasp our situation and will not act rashly. We can take this opportunity to let the soldiers rest for a while."

At this point, Li Ce paused and looked up at the position of the sun in the sky.

"It's almost noon now. If nothing goes wrong, we will start to retreat after resting for two hours. It's just right for the soldiers to eat at this time. There may not be time to eat next time."

Obviously, Li Ce didn't dare to let the large army rest for too long. After all, the greenskins have night vision. Once night falls, their marching efficiency will inevitably decline, while the marching efficiency of the greenskins can be guaranteed. With the increase and decrease of one, the risk will naturally arise.

While Li Ce made simple arrangements, the Pegasus Knight who knew the specific location of the Saint Laurent Empire had already set off urgently with intelligence.

At the same time, the Blood Hand King who led his troops to hide in the woods...

The news that the advancing coalition suddenly stopped and rested three kilometers away had undoubtedly reached his ears in time.

During the long-distance march, considering the situation of the troops, stopping to rest is not uncommon.

It was a coincidence that they stopped three kilometers away from them, but Blood Hand King always felt that something was wrong.

With this awkward feeling, Blood Hand King seemed to remember something, turned his head and looked at the ground with a big hole, and then his face changed.

"No! The other side may have discovered us! Send a signal, let the Goblin Wolf Cavalry rush up to entangle them, and the large army will advance!!"
