Chapter 976 Give it a try
With the escort of pterosaur riders, although the wood elf mages including Locke were exhausted, their safety was basically guaranteed.
According to Soros's intention, send them directly to the safe area in the rear.
At the same time, in the ruins of the city, without the suppression of "energy absorption", the body of the evil demon finally condensed into shape, but it was still not free.
I saw that the countless vines that grew by absorbing the evil energy actually turned into a natural cage and trapped it inside.
Those entwined vines were now frighteningly thick. If it were the original evil demon, it might have been possible to break through by force. However, at this moment, after enduring the joint attack of Bolevin, Locke, and the Wood Elf Mage Corps, the drastic loss of energy caused the evil demon's entire body to shrink rapidly.
At this time, the size of the evil demon had been forcibly suppressed to the level of thirty meters.
In this situation, the crisscrossing vines were like a dragnet, making it impossible for the evil spirits to break through in a short period of time.
"Damn it! It's just this short of it!"
On the top of the wall, Bai Tu, who had confirmed the latest situation through the "Eye of Insight", could not help but pound his fist hard, with a trace of annoyance flashing across his face.
If Locke and the Wood Elf Mage Group were a little stronger, they might be able to defeat them directly.
However, it is useless to worry about this now. The most important thing is how to deal with it next.
Although the 30-meter-level demons were much smaller than at the beginning, they were still huge and scary to the lizardmen and humans, and they were really not something they could deal with! "Three-bow crossbow. No, it can't be used!"
As a weapon specially manufactured within their Great Zhou army to target large facilities, Soros and Bai Tu almost immediately thought of the three-bow crossbow.
But at the same time, they soon realized that in this complex ruins environment, the three-bow crossbow had no room to play.
During this period, countless tentacles have once again condensed from the evil demon and spread in all directions.
Obviously, the severe loss of its own energy has made the demon eager to devour its prey and replenish its energy.
However, the process did not seem to be going smoothly.
The ratmen in the area are not stupid either. During the time when Bolevin and Locke had suppressed the evil demons, they had already slipped away. Why would they stay there stupidly and wait to die?
This is actually a good thing for Soros and Bai Tu.
At least this greatly increases the difficulty for evil spirits to obtain energy.
"Pass the order down, have our troops retreat in full force and keep a safe distance. At the same time, have the pterosaur riders track the evil demons throughout the journey and report their positions at any time!"
The troops of the Great Zhou had already retreated outside the city at this time. Now that they received the order, they naturally retreated more decisively.
Judging from the current situation, Soros undoubtedly wants to follow the original plan and retreat first, and then come back to reap the evil demon after the two extraordinary wizards recover their strength.
However, it is not difficult to see from Soros's solemn expression that this is not an ideal situation.
To deal with an evil demon that is only about 30 meters in size, the two extraordinary wizards do not need to recover completely. If one of them recovers 50% of his strength, he should be able to solve it easily.
But the problem is that this 50% of strength cannot be restored in just a few days.
What's even more terrible is that in order to deal with this evil demon, all the mages on their side, including the two extraordinary mages Bolevin and Locke, have exhausted their strength.
What does this mean? It means that they are now in a very serious overdraft state.
Judging from the situation, it would probably take ten days or half a month just to get rid of the negative effects of this overdraft state. It would take even longer to officially start recovering from that time.
Soros didn't think the entangled vines could trap the evil demon for that long.
At the same time, they could not ensure that during this period of time, the evil demon would not devour any prey to increase its own strength.
This period of time is long enough for anything to happen and is full of uncertainty.
This is also the biggest reason why Soros is so worried at this moment.
Just when Soros was having a headache about this, Bai Tu's voice rang out.
"If it's at the thirty-meter level, maybe we can let Commander Zhou give it a try."
“…”
The Commander Zhou mentioned by Bai Tu is the Commander of the Xianzhen Camp, Zhou Chongshan.
Soros didn't say anything, but just looked at the other party with a little surprise.
During this time, Bai Tu continued speaking along his own line of thought.
"From a strength perspective, Commander Zhou, who is a warrior in the Hundred Refining Realm, should be on the same level as the two mages in the Extraordinary Realm."
"Because of the fighting methods and positioning, Commander Zhou may not be so good at dealing with such a huge target. But now the size of the evil demon has been greatly reduced. Can Commander Zhou give it a try?"
Soros had to admit that he was somewhat convinced.
Mainly because according to their original plan, there are too many uncertainties and they are too big.
What if during this time, the evil demon found the fleeing ratmen and devoured them all, allowing its body to grow to 200 meters? In this case, wouldn't all their gains be in vain? Even worse, if the evil demon locked onto their camp and rushed into their camp to prey, their losses would be even greater.
"Anyway, let's invite Commander Zhou over first and ask him what he thinks."
In terms of military rank and position, Zhou Chongshan may not be as good as Soros, but as the leader of the Xianzhen Camp, his status is so high that it cannot be measured according to normal military rank and position.
In this case, even if Soros, the commander-in-chief of the southern border, comes to him, he has to be polite.
The Xianzhen Camp was already on standby outside the city, and Zhou Chongshan arrived soon after receiving the news.
After understanding the situation, Zhou Chongshan's gaze once again fell on the evil demon in the distance.
He felt some pressure in his heart, but there was no fear in his eyes.
"I think we can give it a try."
Zhou Chongshan, who possesses three-star intelligence, is not a reckless man with strong limbs and a simple mind. In fact, his combat IQ is very outstanding.
Just as Bai Tu had analyzed before, his fighting methods and positioning were indeed not as good as those of the extraordinary wizard in dealing with such a huge target.
But on the other hand, as a warrior in the Hundred Refining Realm, he also has his own advantages, such as better sustained combat capabilities.
Don't forget, he possesses four-star level bravery and endurance.
Under this premise, he had already observed the evil demon's means of attack, and he was confident that he could resolve it.
From this perspective, as long as the attacks of the evil demons are continuously resolved, the energy of the evil demons will be continuously consumed in the process. By maintaining that rhythm, even if Zhou Chongshan is on passive defense throughout the whole process and relies on his physical fitness at the Hundred Refining Realm level, he might be able to directly exhaust the evil demons to death!
