Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1801 Mutual Restraint
Seizing the opportunity, the royal mage order, led by John, acted with exceptional speed.

John, the leader of the Royal Mage Order and now a Saint-level mage, is far stronger than before.

With him at the core, the Royal Mage Order's 'Wild Growth' spell was incredibly efficient.

Centered on the position of the undead necromancer, including the woodlands on both sides, the newly emerged vines instantly covered the entire area!

Faced with this sudden, wide-range magical attack, the necromancers were clearly unprepared. In an instant, countless entwining vines seemed to converge into a tangible ocean current, directly engulfing them all.

"Just how many more tricks do these humans have up their sleeves?!"

The immortal general was dumbfounded.

The more he fought, the more uneasy he felt. He always felt that the other side had an inexhaustible supply of tricks up their sleeve! They could always come up with something new to him.

Faced with the vines that were sweeping towards him, the Undying General unleashed a sword beam that severed them all.

But this cannot stop the vines from growing and spreading unless he can directly address the source of it all!

Thinking of this, the Undying General subconsciously glanced in the direction from which the energy fluctuations came, but hesitated to take any action.

He set this trap, waiting for Xuan Yu. If Xuan Yu showed up, he would definitely use his killing move.

But Xuan Yu did not show up.

In the current situation, it seems that the two sides have reached some kind of unwritten agreement: neither of them will move, and neither of their top combat forces has officially intervened in the battle.

The Undying General knew very well that as soon as he charged, the opponent, a warrior at the Transcendent Realm, would also move accordingly.

Adding to that the hairy beast that hasn't shown up yet, I'm definitely no match for it.

Joining the battle would only worsen the situation, rendering his actions meaningless. He might as well remain calm and wait for an opportunity, since the greatest advantage of the undead race is that they are not easily killed.

During this time, the royal mage group, led by John, immediately followed up with "Energy Drain" after using "Wild Growth," which is a core combo for their wood elf mages.

However, who could have imagined that absorbing this energy would cause problems?

After casting 'Energy Drain', their entwining vines rapidly turned black and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Disable 'Energy Drain'!"

John sensed the problem immediately.

The principle of 'energy absorption' is to absorb energy from enemies bound by vines by using them as a medium.

While reducing the opponent's energy, it also allows the vines to grow better with the help of this energy.

Theoretically speaking, it can absorb any kind of energy, but there is one type of energy that it may not be able to absorb: necromantic energy!

The magic of the wood elf mages is of the life attribute, while the energy of the undead is clearly of the death attribute; the two energies counter each other.

Even the most vibrant, entwined vines cannot escape the fate of withering and dying after absorbing a large amount of death-attribute energy.

After dispelling the 'Energy Drain' spell, John immediately led his team to cast 'Wild Growth' to restore control of the field.

But then, they were at a loss for what to do. If it were a living enemy, they could use the vines' ability to tighten and entangle objects as they grew to strangle them, but the undead couldn't be strangled.

This was clearly the test that Li Ce wanted to conduct.

As the commander-in-chief, Li Ce naturally considered all the cards he could play.

During this period, the possibility of mutual restraint between Wood Elves and Undead was also considered.

As it turns out, this is indeed the case.

Unlike John, who was focused on magic at the moment, Li Ce, who had already thought about this matter, quickly put forward his own idea.

"Commander John, while the undead's energy can kill the Entangling Vines, shouldn't their own energy also be drained in the process?"

[That's right! The combination of 'Wild Growth' and 'Energy Drain' spells was originally designed to create a positive energy cycle, resulting in a snowball effect.]

The undead are filled with death-attribute energy, which breaks the cycle, but that doesn't mean 'energy absorption' is useless against them.

[If we completely drain their energy using 'energy drain,' even the undead will die!]

John wasn't stupid; he quickly realized what was happening and made a decision!
[Energy Absorption!]

Without hesitation, with John at the center, the Royal Mage Order continuously alternated between the spells 'Wild Growth' and 'Energy Drain'.

To put it simply, this maneuver involves using their magic power to exchange for the magic power within the undead on the other side!

On the Royal Mage Corps' side, although John, a Saint-level mage, was there to keep things in order, the way they were manipulating two spells back and forth like this would definitely consume more of their energy.

As this operation continued, even John soon began to feel the strain.

The undead necromancers on the other side weren't particularly strong, but their sheer numbers made up for it!
If they continue fighting this way, their royal mage corps will most likely be the first to collapse.

Having already figured out the key to this, Li Ce naturally wouldn't do nothing.

At a command, the giant eagle riders, who had just finished scattering the seeds of the entwining vines, took to the air once more.

As it flew over the Undead's territory, the giant eagle loosened its talons, and the wooden barrels fell downwards.

The moment it hit the ground, the wooden barrel shattered, and a viscous, oily liquid gushed out.

These wooden barrels are filled with specially made, highly concentrated kerosene.

"not good!"

The Undying General quickly realized something was wrong and immediately unleashed a series of sword beams, severing the surrounding vines while shouting orders...

"Evacuate! Emergency evacuation! Leave this area immediately!!"

However, now that the entanglement vines have been fully spread, even high-level combatants at the Vajra Realm level still have the ability to break free, and those at the Hundred Refinement Realm level, if they dodged quickly enough at the beginning, could also escape unscathed.

But for those undead troops who had already been caught up in it, they had long been entangled by the binding vines and were about to die. Want to escape? Not so easy!
As a barrel of explosives fell, a terrifying burst of flames erupted amidst a deafening explosion, spreading outwards in all directions with overwhelming force!
Even after absorbing a large amount of undead energy, the blackened and withered vines became excellent combustibles at this moment. Together with the trees and vegetation planted on both sides to prevent sand from falling, they were all turned into a towering sea of ​​fire!
