Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1744 Die!
Considering that the snake people could attack at any time, Wei Qing had prepared some countermeasures with his soldiers in advance.

One of the tactics is very simple and brutal: emergency evacuation in small squads.

The destructive power of the desert serpent is undeniable; the denser the enemy formation, the greater the casualties will be when they charge in.

To reduce casualties, the simplest and most effective way is to directly disperse the troops.

The giant desert serpent bursting forth from the yellow sand resembled a runaway steam train; its terrifying momentum caused many Northeast Army soldiers to look on in horror.

With the giant desert serpent as the vanguard, a large number of snake-men emerged from the surrounding yellow sand and launched an attack on the scattered Northeast Army troops.

Hearing the screams of his soldiers, Wei Qing's face turned grim.

He hasn't even officially graduated yet, and he's already encountered this tough battle with almost no chance of winning. The only thing he can do now is to send out signals while trying his best to stall for time.

During this process, the Snake People, who had suffered two defeats at the hands of the Northeast Army, were clearly determined to settle their old scores with the Northeast Army. Their attacks were exceptionally fierce, as if they wanted to get back all the humiliation and beatings they had suffered in the past!

On the desert battlefield, following the tactics that Wei Qing had arranged long ago, the soldiers quickly took out the specially made grenades in their hands.

They rushed to make this in preparation for a possible battle in the desert.

It looks just like a wooden-handled grenade, but its actual effect is not much different from that of a wooden-handled grenade.

Each squad's standard dwarf bombardier quickly ignited the bomb, then swung his arm and hurled it out.

At that moment, the wooden-handled grenade, once thrown, spun continuously in the air, like some kind of rotating firework. Following this spinning momentum, a large number of granular sparks were continuously scattered from it, scattering along the parabolic trajectory of the thrown grenade.

Needless to say, these wooden-handled grenades are filled with a special kerosene mixture.

They're using the same methods they used at the Smith border, just in a different way.

The scale and efficiency of this operation are naturally incomparable to those before.

However, even with a large number of dwarven grenadiers throwing simultaneously, they still managed to provide the Northeast Army soldiers with some visibility.

Although the light was faint, it brought them a sense of security in the darkness.

Unlike the Smith troops who were still using flintlock rifles, the new Thunder Rifle gave the soldiers of the Great Zhou the ability to fire while on the move.

Even in the chaos of the battlefield, when moving and firing in small squads, the Thunder Rifle still demonstrates excellent performance.

Meanwhile, the bayonet fixed to the gun head can also be used as a melee weapon when the distance closes.

The Northeast Army soldiers had practiced the relevant tactics countless times.

But this was truly the first time it had been used in a real battle.

Although the soldiers were nervous, their strong muscle memory gave them a safety net.

The moment the enemy entered their field of vision, before their minds could even process it, their bodies moved first, instinctively pulling back their guns and cocking them.

Amid a series of 'click' sounds, a group of soldiers pulled the trigger almost simultaneously; the entire sequence of actions was remarkably fluid.

In an instant, accompanied by the flash of gunfire, the snake-man who charged forward was mercilessly shot dead on the spot.

The Northeast Army soldiers, operating in small squads, managed to stabilize their positions to some extent, but the Desert Serpent continued to rampage through the desert with unstoppable force.

Ordinary soldiers, made of flesh and blood, how could they possibly withstand the hurdle of stopping this 'high-speed train'?
Fortunately, with the formation significantly dispersed, the casualty figures were largely contained.

Amidst the chaos of battle, Peter, who unfortunately chose the wrong side, is making simple but persistent efforts.

When it's necessary to divide forces, it's indeed difficult to allocate even one Vajra Realm warrior. Furthermore, it doesn't really matter which side they're assigned to; which side will be attacked by the snake-men next is basically pure luck.

So Li Ce just let Peter go with whichever unit he wanted.

Peter didn't have any particular ideas, so he chose Wei Qing, but he was secretly lamenting his decision.

However, he didn't slack off. Although Vajra Realm warriors don't have night vision, with their keen senses, killing ordinary snake people in this environment is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables for him.

Maintaining this pace, he successively saved many Northeast Army soldiers who were almost killed by the snake people on this desert battlefield, making a significant contribution to stabilizing the situation on his side.

If possible, he hopes this situation can continue until reinforcements arrive.

But reality did not turn out as he had hoped...

Suddenly, Peter felt a chill run down his spine. Realizing something was wrong, he quickly swung his knife and slashed behind him.

Unexpectedly, the figure lurking in the shadows displayed an even greater speed through explosive force.

The long snake body coiled around its own body with lightning speed, completing the snake bondage!
At that moment, a flash of wild joy appeared in the eyes of the Snake King.

The Snake King never imagined that one day he would feel ecstatic over a successful snake bind.

Indeed, his confidence had been shaken by the Northeast Army's repeated defeats, which had even caused him to doubt himself.

This time, he also hid in the shadows and observed for a long time. Only after confirming that it was not the strong person he had fought before, and that the person's strength was obviously inferior to his own, did he make his move!

After successfully striking, Peter's face instantly turned pale, unlike the ecstatic Snake King.

"Get out of my way!!!"

With a roar, Peter maximized the strength of his aura shield and unleashed his power, attempting to forcefully break free from the Snake King's snake bondage.

However, the snake's body binding him not only failed to break free, but instead tightened even more!

"A pointless struggle!!"

The Snake King laughed wildly, venting the emotions he had been suppressing recently. At the same time, his hands didn't stop moving, and a pair of daggers kept attacking Peter.

Once the snake binding is successful, then he can completely relax and enjoy his comfort zone.

On the other hand, Peter, who was bound, had no chance to fight back.

Am I going to die here?!

His intense resentment drove him to roar repeatedly.

This action was meaningless to the Snake King, whose snake body tightened and whose attacks with the two daggers became increasingly swift.

During this process, the Snake King, who was extremely sensitive to vibrations, keenly noticed the commotion coming from afar.

[You realized it so quickly?]

The thought flashed through his mind, and the Snake King, who was already under pressure, glanced at Peter, who was nearing his limit, with annoyance. Then, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes!
The next second, the Snake King's power erupted wildly, and the attack of his twin daggers rained down on Peter's aura shield like a storm.

Finally, the overburdened protective aura shattered, and the Snake King opened its blood-red maw and bit into Peter's neck.

"Die to me!!!"
