Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1875 A Success in One Fall

Meanwhile, although the Great Zhou was unaware of the decision made by the Goblin Kingdom, this did not prevent them from analyzing the matter based on the intelligence provided by the Goblin prisoners of war.

Given that the goblin kingdom is confirmed to be short of resources and urgently seeking new ones, the likelihood of the other side taking further action has increased significantly.

Not to mention the outer perimeter of the goblin kingdom, where their undead sentinels are watching.

If the Goblin Kingdom is about to make a big move, it will inevitably send out ground troops. At that time, the undead sentinels on the front lines will send the intelligence back to the Great Zhou border as quickly as possible.

Under this premise, in order to improve the efficiency of intelligence transmission, the Great Zhou also arranged for several small communication cubes to be used by the undead sentinels.

Since the undead are unaffected by the environment, they can be buried directly in the sand without any problems, and the small communication cube can also be buried directly in the sand without affecting its function.

If they have enough miniature communication cubes, they can use undead sentinels and miniature communication cubes to form a communication line underground in the desert.

"Test, test."

On a new day, inside the oasis stronghold, Wei Qing was having his communications soldiers test the communication lines they had set up.

In a series of interconnected exchanges, they spent less than ten minutes exchanging intelligence with the undead sentries stationed on the border of the goblin kingdom.

The successful establishment of the communication lines is undoubtedly good news for Da Zhou.

Once it is confirmed that one's own side is going to carry out a defensive ambush, being able to keep track of the enemy's movements at all times will provide them with a huge advantage in their subsequent ambush operation.

As it turned out, they were quite prescient this time. Just half a month after they had set up the communication lines, the goblins couldn't wait any longer and launched a new round of operations.

Having confirmed the intelligence, the undead sentinel relayed the message as quickly as possible, but did not take any rash action.

Their mission was simply to monitor and send back intelligence, not to fight the goblin forces.

Following the route taken by the first exploration team, the subsequent goblin exploration team quickly ventured deep into the desert, advancing towards the border of their Great Zhou.

It was clear from the time that they were very clear about their direction of movement and did not hesitate at all.

The fundamental reason is that the previous exploration team left beacons as markers at each campsite during their movement.

That beacon device emits a special radio signal that can be detected as long as the radio equipment is turned on.

Initially intended to prevent them from getting lost in the desert, it has now become a guide for subsequent exploration teams.

Considering that the entire previous unit had gone missing, the subsequent exploration force was undoubtedly larger in scale and stronger in combat capability.

However, due to the scale, mobility efficiency has decreased.

A new day dawned, and the goblin troops arrived at a new signal marker. They set up camp to rest and set up radios to detect the location of the next beacon.

The process went very smoothly, and the goblin troops at the next signal point were easily located. They planned to rest here for a day before setting off again.

While the ground troops were resting, the air force was not idle. Goblin airships took off and flew ahead to the next signal marker to check the situation.

When the goblin troops arrived, it was already close to dusk, and after the goblin airships left, darkness quickly fell. Desert nights are cold, and as the temperature dropped, night quietly descended.

Meanwhile, at the Oasis base, the adjutant, having confirmed the latest situation, looked at Wei Qing, who was standing there.

"Major, what do we do now? That goblin airship hasn't returned to camp since it left."

"They should go to the next marker to check the situation."

Compared to his somewhat nervous adjutant, Wei Qing was quite calm, clearly indicating that the situation was not beyond his expectations.

"After all, they had an exploration team go missing before, so it's normal for them to be more cautious now."

At this point, Wei Qing paused.

"We have giant eagle riders, so the goblin airships are nothing to fear. As for the camp, proceed as planned."

This small entourage was clearly not enough to put pressure on Wei Qing, which allowed him to remain completely at ease throughout.

As the order was given, in the dead of night in the desert, the gnoll army, led by Flying Claw, crouched low and approached.

Thanks to the intelligence provided by the Sky Eagle Knights, they now have a clear understanding of the troop deployment and defenses in various locations of the goblin camp.

Before the light within the camp could reveal their location, the crouching grappling hooks, like arrows released from a bow, approached the goblin soldiers on guard. The merciless claws tore apart the goblin soldiers' throats with lightning speed!

The jackals' actions seemed to send a signal.

Almost simultaneously, directly below the goblin camp, skeletal hands reached out from beneath, digging away the yellow sand burying them. Clumps of dark green soul fire lit up in the pitch-black night, adding to the chill of the desert night!

When the sleeping goblin soldiers finally came to their senses, they were terrified and screamed at the sight of the densely packed skeletons glowing green in the darkness.

At the same time, he subconsciously reached for his gun, but firearms were not very effective against the undead skeleton units, not to mention the skeleton soldiers that filled almost an entire tent, which completely overwhelmed them in the next encounter.

Caught off guard, the goblin troops had no chance to maneuver before being completely routed by the ambush of the skeleton army.

Needless to say, this was a trap that Wei Qing had specifically set for the goblin troops that would arrive later.

The previous batch of captured goblins sold out their own kind completely, revealing everything they could, including these beacons.

The goblin prisoners of war hadn't been unaware that keeping these beacons might be a way to rescue them if subsequent troops were dispatched.

However, they were even more afraid that if the Great Zhou discovered that they had concealed something, they would kill them to vent their anger.

In fact, this is more likely. Given their personality, they wouldn't risk their lives. Since they've already sold themselves, they might as well sell them completely. It doesn't matter if they lose a little more.

Having confirmed the intelligence, Wei Qing seized the opportunity to set a trap.

They moved the two beacons closest to their border to a new location, ensuring the secrecy of their own territory while allowing the undead forces to ambush them from beneath the desert. This, combined with a night raid by the gnoll forces, resulted in a swift and successful attack!
