Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1792 Price
The pain during the wound treatment clearly woke Zhou Ye up, but he didn't speak until the medical team finished treating his wound and left.

"I'm sorry, I messed things up."

"It's good that you're alright. Besides, it wasn't your fault."

Jarvitt offered a soft word of comfort.

"Given the circumstances, even if you hadn't gone, that giant skeletal serpent would still have attacked our outposts anyway, and things wouldn't have changed much."

At this moment, Yarvit was unaware that both the Undying King and the Undying General were after Xuan Yu.

In fact, not only Yarvet, but even Xuan Yu himself didn't know what was going on.

Whether it was Yarvit's comforting words or not, Zhou Ye didn't dwell on the issue. Due to excessive blood loss, he quickly became drowsy.

Seeing this, Jarvit also said, "Don't think too much, get some rest, I'll come see you again later."

After saying that, Jarvet got up and left.

Now that Zhou Ye's life is no longer in danger, she should go and take care of other matters.

"It can now be basically confirmed that the desert faction is the Undead..."

Inside the commander-in-chief's tent, Li Ce, who was holding a meeting, had a deep frown on his face.

As a nation that also has undead, they naturally understand the troublesome nature of this race.

The undead are largely unaffected by extreme environments like the desert.

The reason they didn't bring in the undead to carry out the mission was because the undead themselves would consume undead energy when they took action.

As a nation primarily composed of living people, the Great Zhou Dynasty faces significant challenges in replenishing its undead energy once it is depleted.

Or to put it simply, their undead army was without 'supplies'.

Li Ce didn't know how the other party had solved this problem, but the current situation was undoubtedly a bit tricky.

According to the information provided by Yalvit, the opponent has at least one combatant at the Transcendent Realm and one at the Nascent Soul Realm!
In their brief exchange, she severely injured the opposing Undead General of the Realm of Transcending Heaven and Earth with 'Gungnir'. The opponent was an Undead, so he certainly wouldn't die, but it would probably take some time for the depleted undead energy to fully recover.

Incidentally, she herself will need some time to recover.

The most urgent matter at hand is to request reinforcements from the rear. If the undead army on the other side were to come out in full force, unless Zhou Xu personally led the expedition, Yarvit alone would be completely unable to deal with the undead race, which has two top-level experts.

After quickly confirming all the intelligence, Li Ce immediately contacted the rear and ordered all available Giant Eagle Knights to be dispatched to keep a close watch on every move in the desert.

Given the current situation, if the Undead Legion launches an offensive, they will have to abandon all three of their strongholds in the desert.

Anyone who harbors even the slightest attachment to these three strongholds will face the risk of being completely surrounded by the undead army.

There is only one way to change this: to seize control directly in their own hands and let them launch an offensive! To take the initiative and attack the territory of the undead!

However, this would allow the other side to leverage the advantages of local restrictions to confront them.

No matter what choice you make, you'll have to pay a price!

This is a reality in itself; there is no perfect solution. We can only weigh the pros and cons and make trade-offs based on the circumstances at the time.

There is no right or wrong choice.

Of course, when it is necessary for their emperor to personally lead the expedition, this difficult decision naturally falls to their emperor. And if the undead army on the other side begins to advance before their emperor makes a decision or arrives at the front line, then needless to say, he will immediately choose to make an emergency retreat.

The opposing side consists of two extremely powerful individuals, both of whom are undead and not so easy to kill. With their emperor absent, there is no possibility of them winning.

Li Ce had already instructed Wei Qing to arrange for the evacuation of some personnel to avoid any mistakes in case of an emergency.

Meanwhile, on the side of the Undying King...

By the time the Undying King's true form arrived at the front lines in a golden chariot, Xuan Yu and Yarvit had already vanished without a trace.

Filled with resentment and unable to vent it, the enraged Undying King roared out on the spot.
After venting his emotions, the Undying King, whose emotions had calmed down somewhat, clearly noticed the Undying General's unusual behavior.

As an undead being at the Transcendent Realm level, his current recovery speed is as slow as a snail crawl in the eyes of the Undead Monarch.

At the same time, the Undying King could also sense that the Undying General's undead energy was severely depleted.

"What kind of attack could have injured you like this?"

His soul had just left his body and possessed the body when the attack ended. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the Undying General had a hole in his chest.

He could sense powerful energy fluctuations, but he wasn't really sure what the attack was like.

If it's truly such a powerful method, then he'll have to be careful.

However, when faced with this question, the Undying General shook his head.

"At that moment, I only saw a bolt of lightning pierce through my chest; it was a long spear!"

"Lightning Spear"

The Undying King secretly memorized these two pieces of information and began to analyze them in his mind.

[Upon reaching the Transcendent Realm, the attribute traits are fully manifested, and the lightning attribute can be considered the one with the strongest explosive power among all attributes.]

[The opponent was clearly a lightning-attribute martial artist at the Transcendent Realm. On top of that, they must have used some special mantra combat technique to further enhance their explosive power, which is why they achieved that effect.]

That spear was probably no ordinary weapon.

But this was clearly not enough to dissuade the immortal king.

Although the opponent has changed its appearance, the golden-red flames are unmistakable!
The Undying King never dreamed that in that war during the old civilization era, when an entire world collapsed, that guy would still be alive!
Thinking of this, the Undying King's emotions became uncontrollably volatile again.

"This truly shows that evil deeds can live on for a thousand years!"

Even if it costs him his life, he will kill that guy to avenge himself and his millions of citizens!

However, before that, we obviously have to wait for the Immortal General to recover.

He was determined to take revenge, even at the cost of his soul being scattered, but that didn't mean he was willing to die in vain.

The opposing side clearly also has martial artists at the Transcendent Realm level, whose strength is so great that they could even kill the Undying General with a single blow.

Besides, that beast's strength should not be underestimated.

In our previous encounter, the opponent's realm should have been at the peak of the Saint Realm, but considering the golden-red flames, their actual combat strength was even stronger than that of the peak of the Saint Realm!
The Undying General's fighting strength has not yet recovered. To launch an attack rashly would be tantamount to cutting off one's own arm!
In times like these, it's best to stay calm!
