Chapter 329: Out of the Dragon Pond and into the Tiger's Den【5K】
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao stood up from the throne and waved his hands to indicate that the main powerhouses, such as Huzhang and Chaoyan, who were standing respectfully, were ready to go.
While facing the commander of the garrison in the lower position, he said sternly: "Guanzhong, order the entire city's garrison to enter a state of full alert immediately."
After pondering for a moment, Lei Xiao said solemnly: "Three times more soldiers will be deployed at all outposts in the city, and all scout teams will be sent out for reconnaissance, ready to respond to possible crises at any time."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao walked down the high platform where the throne was, and immediately opened the conversation, and connected with Nate Ned in Magnet Town, Xuan Yue in Mailan Town, Bai Zhiroge in the territory, and the half-elf Jie. Chuangu in the world, and Shi Feng in the werewolf village.
"Everyone, without further ado, the situation is like this..."
Lei Xiao briefly informed Luolong City about the uproar, and at the same time, he also asked everyone to be prepared to deal with possible crises.
At this time, although Ariel and the two kingdom generals were also present, they naturally did not know who the specific person Lei Xiao was contacting was.
In order to prevent the other party from detecting any clues from his words, Lei Xiao also spoke in a more general way without any flaws.
In addition, Lei Xiao had already understood it before.
The "talking" function of the lords of other worlds is actually a special secret method of communication.
This type of contact secret method is not very unusual in this world.
However, most of them have extremely strict requirements on distance and terrain, making it almost impossible to establish long-distance communications.
The words mastered by the lords of the other world broke this shackles. Even Fanyin City, which was more than ten days away from Kongqing Town by carriage, was within the communication range.
Lei Xiao has already confirmed this in previous calls with Kelly.
Of course, it is different from chat channels, private messages and other functions that have no distance limit between lords.
This kind of conversation function between the lord and his subordinates does have distance limitations.
For example, Lei Xiao is still unable to contact Jiang Li, who went to a remote and extremely cold place to retrieve his body. The interface still shows that the other party is too far away and cannot establish a connection.
In short, in the eyes of Ariel and others, Lei Xiao's use of reading words just now was just a secret method of communication to assign tasks, and there was nothing strange about it.
Having said that, this time, the main experts that Lei Xiao plans to take to Luolong City are still Huzhang, Chaoyan, A Ling, A Bing and Bai Wei.
Of course, there are 24 third-level earth guardians and 2 third-level sky guardians in his storage bracelet, as backup forces and trump cards, ready for battle at any time.
"At this stage, the specific situation of what happened in Luolong City is still unclear. It is better to go as an elite team."
"In this case, firstly, we can go to the destination as quickly as possible, and secondly, with a small number of people and small targets, it is easier to move and investigate. Let's find out what happened there first, and then make other plans."
Just as Lei Xiao was thinking this, he walked towards the entrance of the hall with the knotweed and other subordinates.
Not far behind, Ariel's somewhat embarrassed voice came over: "Wait a minute! This princess is going too!"
"Oh?"
Hearing Ariel's voice, Lei Xiao stopped, turned his head slightly and said, "My dear Fifth Princess, now is not the time for fun. If nothing happens, this trip will be in danger. ”
"You don't need to remind me, of course I understand the seriousness of the matter."
Ariel raised her fair face and responded.
She pondered for a moment, then said with a righteous look: "Luolong City is an important city in our Lengyan Kingdom. As a member of the Lengyan Royal Family, since I have received this news, I naturally cannot ignore it. ”
After finishing speaking, Ariel, who was quite satisfied with what she had said, added: "Yes, as the fifth princess of Leng Yan, I have a duty to do this."
"Actually, I wanted to take the opportunity to see if the smoke was caused by "that incident", right? ”
Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and thought to himself: "That's fine. If Ariel is present, we may be able to find some important clues. It's still unclear."
At this time, Lei Xiao clearly understood.
At this stage, I still don’t know what “that thing” refers to.
And at critical moments, the opponent can also appear as your own supplementary combat power.
"Beside Ariel, there are two senior fourth-level experts. This kind of power does not have to be in vain, as long as it is always under my control."
"In this way, Ye Cang and Nan Xing Nan Yue, who I use to balance each other, can also go together."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and continued to walk towards the door, while saying leisurely: "It's not impossible, but it can still only be the three of you, and everything outside must obey my command. If you don't obey, there will be consequences." You know.”
Hearing Lei Xiao's obviously threatening tone, Ariel wrinkled her pretty nose again, and waved her fist at Lei Xiao's back to vent her anger.
Then, she and the two kingdom generals looked at each other.
On the other side, whether it was Holy Light General Ju Bai or Giant Ax General Bert, they all nodded helplessly and had no other options.
After all, this young alien lord has the allegiance of a fifth-level powerhouse, and his words and deeds are also unfathomable. Naturally, it is better not to provoke him casually.
At this moment, these two battle-hardened generals of the kingdom couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness in their hearts.
It seems that they have just left the Dragon Pond of the Royal Capital and entered the tiger's den of Kongqing Town...
However, it has to be admitted.
Compared with other cities that are full of dangers and whose influence is unknown, Kongqing Town, occupied by this alien lord, is relatively safe.
After all, although this young alien lord is a bit domineering, he has not shown any obvious hostility towards them yet.
If this huge power can be made good use of, perhaps the situation of Her Royal Highness the Princess and the two of them will change for the better.
Of course, this requires long-term consideration.
At the same time, Ariel looked at Lei Xiao's back, her long eyelashes flickering, and she was making her own little calculation in her mind.
"Anyway, this annoying guy has no way of knowing that I am looking for "that thing". If I find any clues during this trip, I can hide it first and then wait for an opportunity to go there. ”
"After all, this guy has the allegiance of a fifth-level strongman beside him, who happens to be my princess's thug. In this way, things will be much more convenient. It is best to make this guy's vitality seriously injured, so that it will be more beneficial to me in the next step. Action.”
Realizing this, Ariel smiled and said decisively: "That's all, I'll just follow you!"
After finishing speaking, she stood up from her seat and added with a frown: "Of course, it's only for this time. If it were normal times, I would not listen to you anyway."
"Oh? I'm quite happy to agree."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself: "This Ariel obviously wants to use my influence to find "that thing". ”
"It seems that a chasing game between the hunter and the prey is about to begin."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao turned around, smiled the same way at Ariel and said: "Since your dear fifth princess, Her Royal Highness, has promised, let's set off."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao opened the door of the hall and walked in the front first.
……
Near Luolong City, there is a peak in the Baibu Mountains.
In the vast night, two blood moons loomed in the sky.
The fortress-like city at the foot of the mountain was already filled with smoke and flames.
I saw the dazzling light of attack magic, like gorgeous fireworks, sometimes exploding under the city's towering walls, stirring up bursts of wailing and screaming.
This fortress city standing on the pass is encountering an unexpected attack.
Standing on the cliff and looking down, you can vaguely see it.
Because this city is like a cork in a bottle, blocking the pass directly.
Therefore, the siege army that suddenly came from the other side of the mountain range was unable to cross the pass.
Under the moonlit night, only a dense crowd of figures could be seen, accompanied by the deafening shouts of killing, rushing up the city wall one after another, and then struggling to fall down.
The continuous scene, like ants coming out of their holes, is very shocking even when standing on the top of a high mountain.
After seeing this epic scene that only appeared in the movie, and sniffing the air, mixed with the thick and bloody smell of gunpowder smoke, Zhou Wu, standing on the top of the mountain looking down, felt that his legs suddenly became weak, and he hurriedly shouted to He took a few steps back and swallowed involuntarily.
Judging from his appearance, he is about thirty years old, with a tall and muscular build.
Around him, there were four younger young people standing, two men and two women, both of whom looked to be in their early twenties.
I saw these two young men and two women, both looking frightened, standing there almost at a loss.
Although the distance was far away, the brutality of this bloody war involving cold weapons and deadly spells was obviously far beyond the imagination of these young people.
These five people with nervous expressions, like Lei Xiao, are all lords from other worlds who have descended here.
"Brother Zhou, what race are those things? They look obviously much shorter than normal people..."
I saw a young male lord wearing glasses and holding a broken iron sword. He couldn't help but swallowed and said in confusion.
"No matter what race they are, they are obviously very unfriendly to humans."
Before Zhou Wu could speak, another young male lord with long hair, holding a spear, reached out and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, took a breath and said: "What I want to know is, they... they don't Will they attack us? ”
"Huh?"
Hearing this, the two young female lords who had hugged each other screamed and began to tremble unconsciously.
"Let's not get into trouble."
Although he was also very nervous inside, Zhou Wu forced himself to calm down and waved his hands, trying his best to comfort a few people.
The territories of the five of them are fortunately distributed around this spacious mountain top.
When the three-day protection period ended, they discovered each other one after another, and then chose to cooperate together, and they have continued to this day.
Because Zhou Wu was older, he was elected as the captain and led the other four people to develop the territory.
Under Zhou Wu's leadership, the lord mansions of the five of them were successfully upgraded to level 3, and the number of subordinates each reached 30 to 40 people.
This kind of development progress is relatively good among many alien lords.
However, several people understood it clearly.
This strange world is full of dangers, and all of this has just begun.
Almost all five of them have experienced that the lord who was active in the chat channel one day disappeared and never appeared again the next day.
In the chat channel, people would occasionally mention that they accidentally found other destroyed lords' mansions, the lord's corpses, etc.
These are all reminders to them that only by being more cautious can they survive in this different world.
"Everyone, there is only one steep mountain road leading to the top of the mountain where our five territories are located. As long as you hold on there, there will be no problems!"
I saw Zhou Wu pondering for a moment, and said with a serious face: "We have to guard against this matter. Each person leaves two subordinates to look after the house. The remaining subordinates will all gather at that mountain road!"
"Brother Zhou is right! I...I will go back and inform them right away!"
Hearing this, the male lord wearing glasses, the tension on his face eased slightly, and he was the first to turn around and run towards his territory.
The other three people who looked panicked did not hesitate and immediately ran away one after another.
Not long after, under the leadership of five lords, a subordinate team of nearly 200 people jogged all the way, and they all gathered at the mountain road.
At first glance, this mountain road is extremely steep, almost a cliff, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Looking at the mighty team around him, Zhou Wu's heart, which had been beating, finally calmed down a little.
Most of these subordinates were farmers and hunters in ordinary clothes. The weapons in their hands were either wood-cutting axes or stone pickaxes, and their strength ranged from one star at the first level to two stars at the first level.
However, in recent days, several people have successively recruited some professional warriors wearing armor or leather armor, all of whom are first-order five-star or above.
The young male lord wearing glasses was even lucky enough to recruit a peak-level heavy infantryman, becoming the strongest fighting force among the five.
It is precisely because of this that, under Zhou Wu's proposal, in addition to daily mining work.
Everyone will take some time in the evening to let the newly recruited powerful subordinates train ordinary farmers and hunters.
Therefore, although the training time was not long, the formation of these farmers was quite decent.
"It's a pity that among the five of us, no one has awakened and has the opportunity to recruit the talents of second-level subordinates."
"It seems that if you want to obtain powerful second-level subordinates, you can only slowly continue to upgrade your mansion."
Thinking of this, Zhou Wu cheered up, shouted loudly, and deployed all the professional warriors at the front of the team. He continued to think secretly: "However, among the five of us, the talents that have been awakened now are just right. It’s pretty good to complement each other.”
On the other side, several young male and female lords also felt a lot more relaxed.
I saw the long-haired young male lord, holding an unfamiliar gun flower on his arm, and said quite proudly: "Hey, we subordinates, together, have close to the combat power of two squadrons, even those short ones. , you can also rely on the terrain to beat them to pieces!”
"You can't say that. Those aliens attacking the city are professional soldiers after all."
There was still a trace of worry on the face of the young lord wearing glasses: "In my opinion, we must not take it lightly. It is better to send a few subordinates with sharp hands and feet to investigate first."
"Glasses, you can't increase other people's ambition and destroy our own prestige."
The long-haired male lord looked at the other party with slight disdain and said disdainfully: "I have condensed an energy vortex. If they really dare to come, let them show off!"
Having said this, the long-haired male lord turned around and put on a stiff bow in front of the other two young female lords, with a look of showoff on his face.
But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the professional soldiers at the front of the subordinate team.
Then, before the five people could react, the sound of neat and neat footsteps began to sound faintly at the end of the mountain road ahead.
The sound in unison was like a dense burst of war drums, rapidly moving from far to near, constantly touching the heartstrings of everyone present.
In just a moment, the shining light of the torch began to appear at the end of the mountain road ahead, and gradually became sparse and dense, until finally, it formed a winding fire dragon, constantly heading towards the mountain.
Under the firelight, the shining spears exuded a biting cold light, making people feel numb on the scalp.
Needless to say, this is a real army.
And judging from the short figures, they are obviously the aliens who are frantically attacking the city under the cliff!
Seeing this, the five lords felt chills running down their spines. They felt that the surrounding temperature dropped a lot in an instant. Even the air seemed to have become thicker, almost suffocating.
Bang.
In shock, I saw the long-haired male lord who had been showing off his spear skills just now. The iron gun in his hand had fallen to the ground and made a crisp sound when it collided with the stones on the ground.
"They... they are really here!"
Immediately afterwards, the long-haired male lord picked up the spear from the ground, ran to the back of the team, and began to tremble uncontrollably.
This move made the three young lords around them look frightened, and they stood there almost at a loss.
"Everyone ready to fight!"
Zhou Wu, the only one who could still maintain some composure, took a trembling step forward and took out a polished iron ax from behind.
At this point, a battle between the five lords and the alien army was about to break out. (End of chapter)
