Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1620 Heavy rain pouring down
The steam train continued to run at full speed, and the information brought back by the Giant Eagle Knight made the atmosphere in the carriage even more solemn.

The most uncomfortable thing is that they can't do anything now, which is a terrible feeling.

Zhou Xu meditated with his eyes closed the whole time, mainly trying to perceive the distance.

He let his spirit spread out continuously to sense every thread connected to his body.

He swept his mental power over, and the information contained in the silk thread suddenly flooded into his mind.

You know, Xinbei District is the birthplace of the national religion, and the headquarters of the national religion is located in the center of Yuancheng, which is the central city of Xinbei District.

In this area, the percentage of believers of the state religion can be said to be as high as 99%, which also allowed Zhou Xu to obtain a lot of information.

When my mental power swept over it, it felt like I was bombarded with information.

Fortunately, as his mental strength continued to increase, his brain's processing power also increased rapidly, otherwise his brain would probably have crashed by now.

At the same time, outside Yuancheng...

Saint Laurent I, dressed in military uniform, stood there with a sword in his hand and a withered head in his hand.

At that moment, Shi Lei, who clearly realized what the other party was going to do, changed his expression on the spot.

Saint Laurent I had a ferocious look on his face. He suddenly exerted force with the single hand that was holding the withered head. With the blessing of the incandescent true energy, the entire withered head was crushed on the spot!

Then, before the fragments could scatter, the incandescent true energy in the palm of Saint Laurent I exploded, instantly crushing the fragments into pieces.

"I wonder if you can survive like this!"

After doing all this, Saint Laurent I's face was full of satisfaction, even comfort.

The several battles with Bloody Hand were simply torture for Saint Laurent I.

It was obvious that he was stronger, and he was fighting with Bloody Hand the whole time, but the opponent just relied on his immortality to fight him madly, making him more and more angry!
In the previous battle, Bloody Hand had not yet exhausted his strength, and the broken limbs and remains could be dragged back in time, leaving him no chance.

But the situation is different now. Bloody Hand has exhausted his strength, and the opponent does not have the strength to collect the corpses under his nose, so the corpses are naturally for him to deal with!

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about you guys!"

The Vajra Skeleton that he had previously destroyed with one sword, now turned into a pile of dry bones on the ground because its undead energy had been exhausted.

Under normal circumstances, Saint Laurent I might have thought of taking these bones back. After all, with the corresponding mantra, each of these bones would be worth a lot of money.

But now, after holding it in for so many days, he just wants to vent his emotions!
The corpse at the Vajra Realm level was extremely fragile in front of him.

Not to mention that these corpses were now scattered on the ground defenselessly. At this time, Saint Laurent I swung his sword and made them follow the fate of Bloody Hand.

On the wall of Yuancheng, Shi Lei's eyelids twitched wildly as he watched this scene.

In this state, can he still use the "Skeleton Soldier Resurrection" to pull it up again? At this moment, Shi Lei didn't even have the energy to care about this issue.

Because there is a bigger problem right now, facing him.

That is whether Yuancheng can be defended!
What needs to be made clear here is that although Yuancheng is the best developed and largest central city in the New North District, it does not mean that it has the highest military value.

In Shi Lei's opinion, the place with the highest military value in Xinbei District is actually Shanguan City.

It is the Shanguan City located at the entrance to the New Taipei City. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and is a good place for a defensive battle. In fact, in terms of the advantages of a defensive battle alone, the Shanguan City is higher than the plain fortress.

With Saint Laurent I leading the charge, Shi Lei knew very well that there was no possibility of resisting this wave. Therefore, according to his original plan, if the situation was not right, he would retreat immediately, not caring about the gains and losses of a city or a place, and focusing on preserving the troops as much as possible to accumulate strength for the counterattack after the arrival of the subsequent reinforcements.

If we retreat to Yuancheng and reinforcements have not arrived yet, we will retreat to Shanguancheng and use the geographical advantage to curb the advance of Saint Laurent's army.

Therefore, when the dwarf tribe began to retreat from the plain fortress, Shi Lei had already sent his personal soldiers to Yuancheng to pass on the order and organize the residents of Yuancheng to carry out an emergency evacuation.

However, what Shi Lei did not expect was that in the battle between Saint Laurent I and Bloody Hand, Saint Laurent I's advantage was far greater than he expected.

Blood Hand consumes a huge amount of energy. After a few rounds of attacks, the undead energy in his body can no longer hold on.

In this situation, Shi Lei was unable to resist and could only retreat to buy time.

However, the other side should have seen through his purpose of delaying time, and their pursuit efficiency was astonishingly high. Although the main force had not appeared yet, Saint Laurent I had already reached the outside of the city.

Blood Hand and all the Vajra Realm Skeletons under his command were killed in this wave.

According to the original plan, considering the overall situation, he could also abandon Yuancheng.

But the problem now is that the other side is moving too fast, and Yuancheng is the largest city in the New North District with a large population, and the efficiency of evacuating ordinary people is not that fast.

At this point in time, they had not yet completed the complete transfer.

If this falls into the hands of Saint Laurent's army, the losses will be very heavy!

Just as Shi Lei was thinking this, Saint Roland I quickly destroyed the corpses of Blood Hand and a group of Vajra Realm Skeletons. It was obvious that he had no intention of returning home like this.

He indeed needed to accumulate strength in order to fight Zhou Xu later, but before that, he planned to kill the opposing commander-in-chief with one sword!

With this thought in mind, Saint Laurent I, who was standing outside the city, turned into a ray of white light and rushed towards Shi Lei who was standing on the wall.

At this moment, Shi Lei obviously realized that he was being targeted.

There was no room for escape. Shi Lei, who was aware of his situation, was not afraid, nor did he retreat. He resolutely drew the sword at his waist, ready to fight to the death.

"For the Emperor!!"

Amid the passionate war roar, Saint Laurent I rushed towards the wall and suddenly felt the air around him condense, as if the whole world was shrouded in a special strange feeling.

【I'm locked in?! 】

Sensing danger and realizing that the situation was not good, Saint Laurent I turned around and ran!
As he turned his head, he noticed that the sky, which had been clear, had become covered with dark clouds at some point.

Torrential rain poured down in the blink of an eye, as if it was going to submerge the entire earth in it.

[This rain contains magical power, but with just this rain, no matter how heavy it falls, what can it do to me? ]

At this time, Saint Laurent I had already realized who was coming.

[What is his purpose? Where is he hiding now?! ]

As his thoughts raced, Saint Laurent I fully expanded his senses, and soon he discovered the figure standing in the void under the dark clouds!
At the same time, Zhou Xu blew a breath with a cold expression...

"call--"

In an instant, gusts of black wind blew up between the sky and the earth!
