Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1809 Setting the Mountain on Fire
The Zhou King's Sword's "commands obeyed without question" effect not only greatly boosts morale but also significantly improves the efficiency of his subjects' actions.

The eight words "boost morale" and "action efficiency" seem simple, but they are actually related to many things.

For example, when you are in a state of high morale, you are more likely to be fearless, which means you can eliminate panic.

To improve efficiency, the person doing the work must be fully engaged, meaning they must be highly focused!
With a 'let's give it a try' attitude, Zhou Xu directly triggered the restriction on the Zhou King Sword.

As the restrictions were rapidly implemented, you know what? They actually worked!

Upon hearing Zhou Xu's words, Li Ce's soul was gradually pulled back into his body.

During this time, even ordinary soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty unconsciously began to utter the name of the 'Emperor'.

Each sound seemed to be tempering their will and refining their spirit!

Upon seeing this, Zhou Xu was immediately overjoyed.

However, he also knew that this was only a temporary solution. To resolve the issue, they had to get rid of that evil monster!

With this thought in mind, Zhou Xu immediately planted the Zhou King Sword in the ground to maintain the restriction, while his attention quickly shifted to the black monster.

That monster was incredibly strange; even he wouldn't dare approach it rashly.

[At times like these, it's definitely better to...]

[The raging flames transformed into a giant serpent!!]

With a rapid chanting of incantations, the giant serpent of fire once again materialized on the battlefield!

However, without the enhancement of Xuan Yu's golden-red flames, the giant fire serpent was less imposing than before.

With the giant fire serpent as a casting medium, Zhou Xu's casting range was further extended. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and unleashed a 'Flame Wave Assault' that swept towards the black monster!

The colossal wave of flames was so large that it could have engulfed even a steamship, yet it appeared rather small in the face of the black monster, which was the size of a small mountain…

Zhou Xu had tested all his mantra spells, so he was naturally confident in them. He just wanted to test them out briefly.

The black monster didn't react at all to his 'Flame Wave Assault' attack, or rather, given its size, even if it did react, there was no possibility of it avoiding it.

The surging wave of flames slammed directly into the side of the monster's body.

In that instant, the wave of flames seemed to crash into a mountain wall, and under the impact, it shattered itself on the spot!

Zhou Xu's expression turned solemn as he watched the sparks fly as the flames shattered.

The creature before him was clearly no ordinary corpse demon; it was at least on the same level as the dark red monster he had encountered before.

However, compared to that dark red monster, this guy in front of us is the complete opposite.

The dark red monster that Saint Laurent I had previously summoned through a sacrificial ritual was swift and ferocious, constantly threatening his life.

In contrast, the massive creature before them, resembling a small mountain, had a semi-fluid substance at its base that resembled black mud, slowly flowing outwards.

But rather than moving, it was more like spreading. The monster's body didn't move at all, but the black mud kept spreading outwards, as if it wanted to submerge everything around it.

This was clearly not a good thing for Zhou Xu.

His gaze swept across the room, and it became clear that his attack hadn't been entirely ineffective.

After the attack, the part hit by the flame wave seemed to boil, emitting plumes of black smoke with a 'bubbling' sound.

But the impact of this attack was like the tip of an iceberg to the monster. The monster was so big that Zhou Xu felt helpless.

If the troops could be mobilized, the Giant Eagle Knights could have launched an aerial bombardment, dropping barrels of oil and explosives all at once, which would have brought him some benefit.

However, due to the enemy's shrieking attack, their Great Zhou troops were completely immobilized. Right now, they were already doing their best to stabilize their minds and prevent their souls from being forcibly separated from their bodies. Where would they have any spare strength to support him?

[Wait! If I increase my attack power and expand my attack range, I might be able to interrupt the opponent's shrieking attack. Even a weakening attack would be good. If I can seize this opportunity...]

Given the current situation, there was no choice but to make the decision. There was no time to think further, so Zhou Xu quickly took charge of making arrangements.

"Listen up! I'm going to launch a wide-range attack on that monster to interrupt its screams as quickly as possible. I want you to seize this opportunity and throw barrels of oil at the monster's body as fast as you can."

"After that, you may continue throwing explosive barrels or launch any other attacks you wish!"

Li Ce quickly guessed what Zhou Xu was going to do, but given the current situation and the pain of his soul being constantly being peeled away, he was already exhausted just fighting back. He could barely speak and could only nod to indicate that he had heard.

In contrast, Jarvit and Hilke were much more at ease, immediately organizing the relevant troops to prepare for the operation.

Without hesitation, Zhou Xu quickly assessed the situation and immediately took action.

As the output of magic power increased, the giant fire serpent in the arena rapidly expanded in size, and its length exceeded 100 meters in the blink of an eye.

[Raging flames, burning everything!!]

Instead of using higher-level fire spells, Zhou Xu directly used the most basic 'fire attack' this time.

However, with the support of his Nascent Soul Realm strength and the hundred-meter-long fire serpent, that breath directly spewed out an astonishing sea of ​​fire!

For a moment, it felt like setting the mountain on fire.

However, this was not the end. Zhou Xu was multitasking. While controlling the giant fire serpent to spew flames for attack, he also used the Shrinking Earth Technique to quickly enter the battlefield. In conjunction with the blazing breath, he swiftly exhaled a mouthful of black evil wind!
In an instant, wind and fire intertwined!

The two forces, Fiery Breath and Black Fiend Wind, mutually reinforced each other and rapidly expanded as they merged, instantly forming a massive fiery storm that completely engulfed the black monster!
Amidst the raging flames, the black monster with its entire body and face let out a painful howl, and its shrieking attacks were forcibly interrupted.

During the entire process, Li Ce endured the pain of his soul being separated. Suddenly, he felt his body become light and collapsed to the ground.

But he hadn't forgotten the task Zhou Xu had given him.

"Giant Eagle Knight! Pegasus Knight! Anyone will do! Anyone who can still move, immediately throw barrels of oil at that monster!!"
