Chapter 24 Sudden Crisis
Looking at the expressions of the three of them as if they were facing a formidable enemy, Lei Xiao's expression was also stern and he immediately asked: "What happened? Is there the aura of a strange and powerful person appearing around the territory?"
"Lord Qi, to be precise, it's not a certain person, but an entire army." Nan Xing's fair face was full of sternness, and his eyebrows were furrowed.
"Yes, this aura is huge and messy. Although the strength of each individual component is very limited, when gathered together, it presents a uniform and cold feeling."
"It can be clearly felt that this is a force that cannot be ignored. According to the speculation of my subordinates, it should be a professional team that has experienced blood and fire."
The tiger stick concentrated its mind, sensing the approaching danger, and nodded in agreement.
"Approximately how many people are there? From what direction are they coming?"
Lei Xiao's heart began to beat loudly, and he felt that the meat skewers in his hands suddenly lost their flavor.
Facing this sudden life-and-death crisis, Lei Xiao, whose scalp was numb, first waved his hands to signal the three tiger sticks not to let other subordinates notice for the time being, and then lowered his voice.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that before things became clear, it was better not to cause large-scale panic in the territory for the time being.
"Back to the lord, the number of people is estimated to be between 2,000 and 3,000. Most of them are composed of first-level soldiers, and a small number are second-level soldiers. However, it is not ruled out that there are third-level strong men. There is no discovery of fourth-level and above."< br>
Huzhang understood immediately, and after confirming that no one noticed this, he said solemnly to Lei Xiao: "As for the direction, it is in the northeast, and is currently marching towards the location of the territory."
After finishing speaking, Knotweed's rough face began to become more solemn.
With his strength as a fifth-level warrior, even if one man confronts an army of this size head-on, he can escape unscathed, or simply kill the opponent until they lose their armor.
However, the current situation is completely different. The battlefield is changing rapidly and the clouds are treacherous. The most important thing is that our base camp is here and cannot be moved at all.
If during the battle with the opponent's main force, the opponent sends a surprise force to sneak attack the territory, or finds the lord, the consequences will undoubtedly be disastrous.
After all, there is only one day left in the protective shield, and by then, the entire territory will be completely exposed to the opponent.
Thinking of this, Hu Zhi clenched his fist.
With the Dragon-Slaying Sword rewarded by the lord, if you give yourself a certain amount of time, it is not impossible to completely eliminate this power.
But what if this is just the enemy's vanguard force or a decoy force? You know, even as a fifth-level expert, you will inevitably reach the point of exhaustion!
Knotweed, who had spent time in the military before accepting the call, clearly understood.
A real war is not like a one-on-one duel with one person, but requires facing thousands of well-organized opponents at the same time.
A well-trained army with high morale can often exert a terrifying power that is several times or even ten times greater than that of an individual!
It can be seen that among thousands of armies, no matter how strong the individual is, it is only a small force in Taicang. At most, it can influence the local area, but it is difficult to affect the overall situation.
An experienced military commander has many means to disperse the opponent's combat power, and then go straight to Huanglong to defeat the opponent's base camp in one fell swoop.
And no matter how good he is in fighting, he is still the only one who can fully protect the lord during a breakout or other actions, and he can still do it with ease.
But once the enemy attacks the territory from all directions, the situation will become critical.
"2,000 to 3,000 people, northeast of the territory?"
After the initial extreme nervousness, Lei Xiao suddenly felt the hair on his body stand on end. He tried his best to suppress the throbbing in his heart and try his best to think calmly.
It can be known based on the information obtained previously.
To the north of the territory is an endless mountain range, and the two human kingdoms closest to the territory are not in that direction.
So, here comes the problem.
Where did this sudden power come from?
Besides, I only have two days to travel to this strange world.
The location of his territory has never been exposed.
In this case, how could it attract such a large number of enemies?
To put it ten thousand steps back, even when encountering the two Kunbu during the day, the location of the territory was accidentally exposed.
But the merchant and the mercenary had already left by boat from the west, and their directions were not matching at all.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao relaxed a little and let out a sigh of relief.
At this point, there is only one possibility left.
"The target of this strange army is definitely not my territory, it's just that the directions are coincident for the time being."
Lei Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to think.
"Then, what other place in this forest can attract the late-night rapid march of the enemy's troops?"
After thinking about this in his mind, Lei Xiao was startled, and then he had the answer.
"Lord, what should we do next?"
Feeling the cold and huge aura getting closer and closer, Nan Xing's fair face was almost completely covered with anxiety, and Nan Yue also had the same expression.
I saw two pairs of identical star eyes facing each other, and they both saw a trace of obvious uneasiness in each other's eyes.
"Don't worry, if my prediction is correct, the other party's target is not actually us."
Lei Xiao casually touched their heads and smiled lightly.
"Lord, do you mean that the other party has other intentions?"
Looking at Lei Xiao with a calm expression on his face, Huzhang couldn't help but wonder.
"That's right."
Lei Xiao took a bite of the cold meat skewers in his hand and responded confidently: "I think since it is a forced march, the opponent will soon change their route."
Sure enough, when Lei Xiao finished pulling out the big bunch, almost at the same time, the three tiger sticks felt that the other party did not continue to approach the territory, but turned around and headed south.
Feeling that the vicious aura was getting farther and farther away, the three of them breathed a long sigh of relief, especially the knotweed, who looked at Lei Xiao with a hint of sincere respect.
If in a battlefield littered with corpses, the only individual who can determine the outcome of the entire battle is the army commander who is above all the armies!
An excellent commander, even if a large army is pressing down on the situation, facing the turbulent waves, he can still be fearless in the face of danger, make decisions before taking action, strategize at the snap of his fingers, and make the enemy bloody for thousands of miles.
And through what just happened, it can be clearly seen that the Lord in front of him has undoubtedly already possessed such characteristics!
"An excellent commander can lead his men to victory, but otherwise he will lead his men into the abyss."
Looking at Lei Xiao's calm face, Hu Zhi sighed secretly in his heart.
In the past battlefields, I have seen too many commanders. When faced with fierce enemies or at a disadvantage, their minds went blank and they were unable to think normally. They would often issue unbelievable orders, or simply let the soldiers die.
But the Lord Lord in front of him gave him a sense of security that was as stable as Mount Tai.
Thinking of this, Knotweed couldn't help but feel excited.
I am really lucky to be able to sign a contract with such a lord, and it is also the most correct choice I have made in my life! (End of chapter)
