Chapter 329: Reality will only be worse than this
At this time, Silke simply attributed the reason to the fact that he should not have agreed to Li Ce's plan and should not have fought a decisive battle with the Speed Dragon Cavalry here.
But in fact, even Zhou Chongshan could see that the other party was just making excuses for himself.
Would the outcome have been any better if they hadn't fought the Dragoons here?
The large army of Lizardmen most likely set out last night. Even if they did not fight a decisive battle with the Dragoons, but chose to rush back to the Elf Village overnight, the Dragoons would most likely catch up with them.
If they face a large group of Lizardmen outside the Elf Village, the Lizardmen will ignore everything and just attack the Elf Village. Judging from Silk's performance so far, the enemy will be 100% confused and will not be able to exert their original strength.
Not only will they fail to prevent the elf village from being attacked, but the results they achieve will probably be worse than they are now.
In any case, everything has been decided, and no matter how things develop next, they are actually helpless.
In their current condition, they can't even make it to the elf village.
There was no intention to persuade Silk anymore. After paying a little attention to the other party to make sure that he would not do anything rash, Zhou Chongshan and his friends, who had been busy all day, quietly took a rest.
As the sun sets, the temperature on the grassland becomes lower and lower, and before you know it, winter has arrived.
A horn sounded outside the elf village, breaking the tranquility of the evening. In the distance, a giant beast covered in a thick shell was approaching them with heavy steps.
The giant beast was in a bad mood due to the long journey and lack of rest. It kept making angry growls and looked extremely dangerous.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"
Accompanied by bursts of rapid shouting, the grassland elves in the village quickly gathered together.
With the help of the firelight, the grassland elves, led by their chief Slavin, saw the approaching giant beast clearly, and their faces suddenly lost some of the blood color.
Anyone can see how bad the current situation is.
The moment it approached the elf village, its tail, which seemed to be born with a meteor hammer, swung violently, and the fence around the village was as brittle as thin paper in front of this blow and was destroyed in an instant.
Amid the screams of the grassland elves, the giant beast broke in so easily.
Soon after, the lizardmen army sent a signal, and the giant lizards followed suit and took action. Within a short while, the inside of the elven village was already ablaze with fire.
"Are we still a step too late?"
On the hill outside the other side of the elf village, Zhou Xu, riding a warhorse, looked at the situation of the elf village in the distance and sighed.
In fact, he came here this time not to help the elf village resist the invasion of the lizardman army.
Previously, Li Ce assumed that Zhou Xu would be able to arrive in time with the big bone and the second bone. With the big bone and the second bone in place, he would have no chance of winning against the large army of lizardmen.
The reality is only worse than this, because this assumption simply does not hold true.
At this point in time, Ergu was still in Caoyuan Village, while Dagu was still on the way after he had brought him down the mountain.
The fact that he is here now is the result of working hard all the way.
What was his purpose in coming here? To persuade the grassland elves to abandon the village and leave.
After all, after arriving at the grassland village, he also learned some information from the message left by Ye Jinghong. It was not difficult to see that the elf village would definitely not be able to be defended.
Originally, as an outsider, Zhou Xu was not suitable to say such things, as he might easily offend the grassland elves on the opposite side if he was not careful.
But considering the powerful enemy of the Lizardmen, he obviously still wants to preserve the fighting power of the grassland elves as much as possible.
So he came here at full speed to lobby, and even had a set of wording in his mind, and was mentally prepared to convince Chief Slavin.
Who knew I would be a step late.
The lack of this piece of information made Zhou Xu not particularly clear about what had happened during this period. Judging from the current situation alone, the Lizardmen's actions were unfolding faster than he expected.
In the current situation, the main force of the Lizardmen has already reached that side, and he is now alone on a horse, so obviously he dare not act rashly.
With the mentality of collecting as much intelligence as possible, he did not turn around and leave, but his eyes fell on the giant beast opposite that was acting as the pioneer.
[In terms of size alone, it is much larger than Ergu. ]
That giant beast is most likely a supernatural creature, and supernatural creatures undoubtedly have different sizes. Including Big Bone and Two Bone, the three supernatural creatures Zhou Xu has seen so far are all of different sizes.
The smallest one among them is Big Bone, which is the size of a sedan. Second Bone is the size of a large off-road vehicle, and the giant beast that is wreaking havoc in the elf village in the distance is as big as a bus.
Of course, size and strength are not equal, but it cannot be denied that this big guy is really difficult to deal with.
【Eye of Insight! 】
In order to observe it better, Zhou Xu directly opened the Eye of Insight.
[The carapace seems to be very hard, covering almost the entire body, and has strong defensive capabilities, but its movements are not flexible and its speed is not fast.]
During the simple observation process, Zhou Xu already had a preliminary understanding of the existence of the giant beast.
He had obtained some intelligence about the giant lizard that followed behind the giant beast and then broke in.
After some observation, Zhou Xu shifted his gaze outside. Apart from large units such as behemoths and giant lizards, the large army of lizardmen were now gathered on the outskirts of the elven village. Judging from the situation, they had no intention of launching any action.
[It seems that these lizardmen also know that the cooperation between the giant beast and the giant lizard can easily destroy a village. If the infantry troops get involved, it will easily cause some unnecessary casualties in the chaos.]
After disabling the Eye of Insight and gathering almost all the intelligence, Zhou Xu pulled the reins in his hand and rode away.
The situation has changed, and is even beyond his control. He must go back as soon as possible to make deployments.
On the way back to the grassland village, the warhorse under him was galloping all the way. During the journey, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. This wonderful feeling made Zhou Xu subconsciously raise his head.
"It's snowing..."
After sunset, the sky became gloomy and snowflakes began to fall without my knowing.
At first it was just sporadic, but on the way back, the snow gradually got heavier, and in the end it reached a scale visible to the naked eye.
The first snow since the beginning of winter just fell, bringing new variables to the battle situation on the grassland!
Update is here, thanks to book friend '摸爱鱼小熊猫' for the reward!
