Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1631 Physical Work

The acquisition of two pieces of epic equipment made Zhou Xu's mood improve. After all, they suffered heavy losses in this wave.

There is no need to think about the losses in troops and equipment. Just because of that monster, all the high-end combat forces of the Undead led by Bloody Hand in the Plain Fortress were sacrificed. This loss is enough to make people unable to sleep at night.

Under this premise, the high-end combat power of Saint Laurent's side was all sacrificed by the mad monster, and they didn't get any benefit in this wave. Zhou Xu felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.

Only after confirming these two pieces of equipment did I finally calm down.

He looked back and forth between the two pieces of equipment. The Earth Shield was a typical large shield, but on their Great Zhou side, even if the generals were equipped with shields, they mainly used medium and small shields, or simply did not have shields. Basically no one was equipped with this bulky large shield.

Even if he wanted to give out rewards, it seemed that it would be difficult to do so on anyone.

[Forget it, if it doesn't work, I'll give it to the personal guard. With this Earth Shield, I can usually ensure the safety of the mage group. If necessary, I may be able to use it myself.]

Zhou Xu made simple arrangements for the Earth Shield in his mind, and then his eyes fell back on the Black Dragon War Drum.

Compared to the difficult to distribute Earth Shield, the Black Dragon War Drum is very easy to distribute.

Theoretically, any army would need the Black Dragon War Drum in a war. However, as an epic equipment, the Black Dragon War Drum itself is obviously not that simple.

"You mean, this war drum requires a warrior at the Vajra Realm level to be used properly?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Shi Lei nodded quickly.

"After obtaining this war drum, I have already done a simple test. The two drumsticks are extremely heavy. It is difficult for ordinary people to lift them, let alone hit them."

"Later, I asked Li Tie to come over and give it a try..."

Li Tie is considered a veteran under Shi Lei. He is a three-star brave general, but he has brute force. In the early years, even if he encountered some four-star brave generals, he would have a chance to kill them once he put in a fight of strength.

His martial arts cultivation had now reached Bronze Three Stars in the Hundred Refining Realm. He still relied on his brute force to fight against people in his realm, and was extremely brave.

His biggest problem now is whether he will have the chance to break through the Hundred Refining Realm and reach the Vajra Realm in this lifetime.

After all, the current trend is that if you want to become a powerful general, you must at least have the Vajra Realm level of martial arts skills to back you up. The Hundred Refining Realm is no longer enough.

It cannot be said that there is no hope for Li Tie to break through, but it is extremely difficult. In Zhou Xu's opinion, the probability is not much different from winning the lottery.

“Li Tie can swing the two drumsticks, but it’s not enough. If he wants to strike the war drum, he has to inject his true energy into it. Otherwise, no matter how hard he strikes, there will be no sound. In this case, Li Tie can’t strike the drum after a few dozen times.”

After hearing this, Zhou Xu basically understood what was going on.

What's the use of knocking a few dozen times?

On the battlefield, when two armies are fighting, once the drums start beating, they cannot stop. You can only beat them a few dozen times, but your troops have just started charging, and you give up? Wouldn't the army be in chaos?
According to this situation, if one wants to unleash the power of the Black Dragon War Drum on the battlefield, a drummer at the Vajra Realm level is already a threshold requirement.

During this time, Shi Lei continued to talk about the information he had confirmed.

"In addition to this, we have confirmed that when beating the war drum, the more true energy you inject, the louder the drum sound will be, the larger the coverage area will be, and the stronger the effect will become."

Listening to Shi Lei's report, Zhou Xu tried to lift the drumstick.

Although he didn't even have the cultivation level of the Hundred Refining Realm, he exercised almost every day and his physical fitness was still quite good. However, it was extremely difficult for him to lift the drumstick.

According to the intelligence information obtained by the "Eye of Peering into Secrets", these two drumsticks are called "Dragon Bone Hammers". Judging from the meaning, they should be made from the bones of the old Dragon King, so you can imagine how heavy they are.

If beating the Black Dragon War Drum only required injecting true energy or mana, then he would undoubtedly be able to do it. But once the weight was put out, the job directly became a physical job with high requirements for physical fitness, and mages generally didn't think about it.

"I'll leave this Black Dragon War Drum to you for now."

This time, although Saint Laurent I was dead and his army was also killed or captured, the war was not over.

This war was initiated by the Saint Laurent Empire, but now it is up to them to decide when it will end!

Although considering the internal development of the Great Zhou, it is not a good time for Zhou Xu to expand his territory significantly.

But this was a rare excuse for war, and with the death of Saint Laurent I, the enemy no longer had the combat power to restrain them, so it would be unreasonable not to fight this battle.

To be optimistic, they can at least take this opportunity to grab a lot of cheap labor.

At the same time, as an important entourage this time.

After learning that all of their dwarven tribe had fled here for refuge, Wo Jin Gang got off the train and rushed to the dwarves' gathering place outside the city as quickly as possible.

There is no way. Although Yuancheng is the largest city in the New Taipei City, its population is close to saturation with the development over the years.

Now tens of thousands of dwarves suddenly appear, and the city has no way to accommodate them. They can only set up a camp outside the city for them.

As soon as he arrived at the dwarf camp outside the city, Vol'jin saw Carl, who was settling his people, and his face lit up with joy...

“Karl!!”

Hearing someone calling his name, Carl, who was busy and confused at the time, subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.

When he saw his cousin Woking, a long-lost look of joy appeared on Carl's face.

"Woking!!"

Without saying a word, the two of them rushed up and hugged each other.

After a hug, Woking, who had calmed down a little, hurriedly asked...

"Where's my big brother? Where is my big brother now?!"

As Woking asked, he stretched his neck and started searching in the camp.

Faced with this question, Carl's expression froze. For a moment, he didn't know how to tell Woking the bad news.

In fact, has he really accepted this fact?

Before, he just put all his energy into work, and once he was busy, he had no time to be sad.

And now, with Woking mentioning this, the grief that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly surged into Carl's heart like a dam bursting, making him feel that even breathing became difficult.

Noticing the change in Carl's mood, Woking became visibly panicked.

“Impossible, this is impossible!!”

Looking at Woking like this, Carl took a deep breath, then grabbed Woking's shoulders tightly with both hands, and his voice was trembling uncontrollably.

"Your Majesty and father, both died in the battle!"
