Chapter 475 Ariel’s Request
"Leng Yan's fifth princess Ariel?!"
Looking at the lifeless soldier captain on the ground, the other Holy Night Army soldiers had gloomy eyes. The swordsmen were in front and the archers were behind, and they began to form a dense formation.
The dead soldier captain was already extremely powerful at the second level of peak strength, and anyone who could kill him with one strike would definitely not be a good person!
"The strength of this little girl should be between the third-level senior powerhouse and the third-level peak powerhouse."
Realizing this, strong murderous aura suddenly erupted from the bodies of these Holy Night Army soldiers.
There are more than 50 remaining soldiers, half of them are first-level and second-level soldiers, and there is also a third-level veteran commander hidden among them.
This kind of impressive combat power is enough to compete with several third-level experts without falling behind. Therefore, facing Ariel who is alone, she does not have much fear.
"You said you are Leng Yan's fifth princess?"
A joking voice sounded, and a heavily armored third-level commander of Shengye slowly walked out surrounded by elite soldiers.
After taking a look at Ariel's exquisite body, he first showed a sly smile with great interest, and then while gesturing for the soldiers on the left and right to slowly approach, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said tentatively: "Don't give it to me. You’re kidding, why would a member of Leng Yan’s royal family put themselves in danger here?”
"Yes, yes, out of nowhere did such a desperate little bitch appear, she is simply asking for her own death!"
"Do you think you can be unscrupulous just because you are a third-level strong man? Around us, there are more than a dozen battle-experienced third-level strong men!"
"Yes, there are several heroic generals of the fourth level who are sitting at the forefront and may arrive at any time!"
"If you take a closer look, you are really pretty. How about joining our Holy Night Army? We will definitely treat you well, hehehe..."
Seeing the commander speaking, the other soldiers laughed and echoed one after another.
"A bunch of hateful bastards, they don't even spare defenseless teenagers and girls!"
Ariel, who was already extremely angry, naturally would not entangle with the other party. Her eyebrows were furrowed, and her slender fingers were connected to the half-empty point. More than ten sharp arrows of light were quickly formed in front of her. .
The sound of "swish, swish" pierced the air immediately, and sharp arrows pierced the air, directly piercing a group of Holy Night archers hidden in the jungle opposite to the ground.
"It is indeed a light attribute attack magic."
Seeing that his ambush was discovered, Commander Shengye's face began to darken more and more.
His cloudy eyes turned and he murmured to himself: "Judging from the casting speed and attack ability, this is obviously not a killing move that the Holy Light Priest can perform. In other words, it is a rare light magic. Teacher? ”
"Lord Baron, light magicians are indeed extremely rare, and this girl has the trademark thick curly hair of a member of the Lengyan royal family, which is all in line with the characteristics of the fifth princess of Lengyan."
The skinny soldier just came up, and while rolling his cunning eyes, he said excitedly: "It seems that I have met a big fish this time!"
"It turns out it's really Princess Leng Yan! Now we're going to be rich! We have to capture her before others arrive!"
In addition to being surprised, Commander Shengye's gloomy face was filled with uncontrollable joy.
Although we don’t know why Princess Lengyan appears here, if we can capture her alive or simply carry her body back, it will obviously be a great achievement!
"Whether you live or die, prepare to take action!"
Immediately afterwards, Commander Shengye's eyes were fierce, and a crossbow with an arrow on the string began to slowly appear from behind him.
The other soldiers around them were shaking the sharp blades in their hands, and they all looked like they were ready to go. They slowly spread around, with twisted evil smiles on their faces full of anger.
Not to mention a mere third-level strongman, even if there are two or three of them, they are well-trained and can kill them quickly!
However, just when the commander of the Holy Night Army, who was surrounded by anger, had murderous intent in his eyes, he was about to issue an order to take action.
Without any warning, a sudden strong light flashed through, and the third-level commander and the skinny soldier next to him were chopped into two pieces.
With blood red splashing everywhere, next to the two corpses, a burly figure holding a giant sword stood proudly. It was the knotweed.
The other Holy Night Army soldiers who were about to attack Ariel either covered their blood-stained necks, or had their chests penetrated by sharp blades, and fell to the ground one after another.
Figures exuding a powerful aura emerged one after another. They were the other main subordinates under Lei Xiao.
It is worth mentioning that in order to prevent the thin and precious invisibility cloak from being damaged, the subordinates had already put it into their respective storage rings when launching the attack.
At this point, under the command of Lei Xiao, more than ten subordinates whose strength was at least at the peak of the third level were dispatched.
In just a moment, they were completely wiped out by these Holy Night Army soldiers, leaving no time for the other party to issue an alarm.
Seeing that everything was going very smoothly, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
Surrounding his group, there were a large number of Holy Night Army soldiers wandering around.
According to Hu Zhi's further perception, there are still more than ten thousand people in the open area not far away, which is obviously the forward barracks of the Holy Night Army.
In this case, if more soldiers from the other side gather around, things will undoubtedly get into trouble.
Although these small groups of soldiers are unlikely to pose any threat to themselves, once the enemy gathers on a large scale, the situation will be completely different.
Soldiers forming a battle formation will be able to display combat abilities far beyond those of an individual. Coupled with the strong enemies scattered among them, not only will the threat rise sharply, but once a fierce battle breaks out, a large number of subordinates will be consumed. physical strength and energy.
Even though he has some magic potions in his body that can speed up the recovery of magic power and replenish energy.
But after all, they are only second level, and the role they can play for subordinates of third level and above will undoubtedly be extremely limited.
"At this stage, I neither have any information about the eight-legion-sized Holy Night Army, nor do I know the number and distribution of its strong men, nor have I contacted the Lengyan Army to reach an intention of cooperation."
"In such a situation where there is no knowledge, it is obviously not a wise choice for a few strong men to directly fight against a large army of one side, and it is not necessary at all."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao made a ready-to-go gesture to his subordinates.
Ariel naturally knew that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time. After casting a grateful look at Lei Xiao, she quickly came to the boy and girl who were stunned by the bloody scene.
I saw her first touching their heads respectively, whispering a few words of comfort, and then nodding towards Bert and Jubai.
The two kingdom generals understood, and each picked up one of them, flew out together with Lei Xiao and others, and quickly left the edge of the cliff.
Accompanied by another gust of wind and lightning, in a quiet dense forest at the foot of the mountain, the group stopped again.
"Sister, are you really our princess?"
After being put down gently by Burt, the young man calmed down a little. He looked at Ariel with bright eyes and asked impatiently.
The girl with a dirty face also came over, her big watery eyes flickering, looking at Ariel expectantly.
"That's right, just like your mother said, I'm here to save you."
Ariel's fair face was filled with a bright and reassuring smile, and she nodded in response.
"Great! Her Royal Highness is indeed our protector!"
This pair of ragged boys and girls jumped up excitedly, their little faces filled with uncontrollable excitement.
"When I grow up, I want to become a heroic knight who protects Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"When I grow up, I will also become a battle maid serving Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
In their excitement, they saw the two of them trying to stand on tiptoes and competing to speak first.
Ariel looked at the two innocent and dirty little faces, with the waves of light flowing, and her mind was full of thoughts.
With my current abilities, that's all I can do.
But in the face of a huge and cruel war, this is not even a drop in the bucket.
When she thought about how many other residents of Leng Yan who were suffering from the ravages of war like these young girls, Ariel looked filled with grief and anger and clenched her fist tightly again.
"Instead of being secretly sad, it's better to find ways to make yourself stronger."
Lei Xiao was keenly aware of Ariel's emotional changes and said calmly: "There is only one way to deal with the enemy's sharp blade, and that is to fight back with a harder blade. Cowardice will only make the enemy more unscrupulous, that's all."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, all the subordinates nodded in unison.
"This big brother seems to be more powerful than Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
I saw a thin girl walking forward, staring at Lei Xiao with admiration and saying: "Brother, are you our prince?"
"Don't talk nonsense, the one who is more powerful than the Princess is naturally His Majesty the King!"
The gray-faced young man also came over, looking in admiration.
"But mother once said that His Majesty the King should be very old."
The girl tugged at her dry braid and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "How can eldest brother be our king?"
Listening to the innocent words of the young girl, Ariel frowned and was about to correct her, but she stopped the thought immediately.
Thinking about it carefully, the only person currently accompanying him who is willing to take risks and come to this chaotic border area is this annoying young man from another world in front of him.
Based on this alone, this guy is indeed many levels higher than those Wang brothers who want their own lives and even turn the capital into a battlefield.
Thinking of this, Ariel sighed softly and cast a complicated look at Lei Xiao that was a mixture of gratitude and helplessness.
"Reporting to the Lord, other Holy Night Army have discovered the soldiers killed by us."
The rough sound of Japanese knotweed rang in Lei Xiao's ears: "The other party has accelerated the search speed and is moving quickly towards this area."
Huzhang concentrated for a moment, then pointed to a mountain not far away, and added: "The Lord, as well as a large number of Holy Night Army soldiers, are gathering in that direction."
"That direction?!"
The face of the thin girl suddenly became panicked, and she blurted out: "That's where everyone in the town hides!"
"What?"
The look on Ariel's fair face also became tense, and she quickly asked: "Little sister, how many people are hiding there?"
"When you return to Her Royal Highness, there will be about seventy or eighty people left. Everyone escaped not long ago..."
The girl with a sallow complexion had frightened eyes, swallowed uneasily, and began to describe as best she could.
Through the girl's description and the boy's supplement, Lei Xiao learned.
It turned out that they were the residents of the small town built on the mountain.
Just as the intelligence showed, when the Lengyan Army retreated hastily, they did not leave in time and did not even receive any news.
It wasn't until one night, when the vanguard of the Holy Night Army was approaching close at hand with torches and sharp knives, that the residents of the town woke up from their dreams and realized the seriousness of the situation.
In the end, facing the small forward force of the Holy Night Army, and with the desperate resistance of the only young and middle-aged people left in the town, the other old, weak, women and children were able to evacuate to the caves in the mountains by luck.
After that, the pair of thin boys and girls, who had begun to sob softly, knelt down in front of Ariel and Lei Xiao, begging: "Your Highness, big brother, please save our family and the town. People! ”
"So, most of the hiding places are old, weak, women and children?"
Ariel lifted up the two thin bodies in front of her, and her fair face became dim again.
With her considerable strength, she could already vaguely sense it.
The Holy Night Army that is moving there is at least the size of a thousand-man brigade, and there are even an established second-level elite squadron and a dozen third-level strong men.
It was obviously impossible for her and the two kingdom generals to successfully rescue so many people.
Judging from the cruel performance of the Holy Night Army soldiers just now, the fate of these old, weak, women and children is naturally self-evident.
Feeling anxious in her heart, Ariel's starry eyes turned and looked at Lei Xiao beside her again.
She was hesitant to speak several times, her delicate cheeks were full of anxiety, and she had a complex expression of wanting to request but not knowing how to speak.
After all, the annoying guy in front of him has nothing to do with these residents, and is not even from this world. There is no need to take this risk to help him.
"Dear Your Highness the Fifth Princess, do you want me to help you?"
Lei Xiao looked at the subtle expression on Ariel's delicate face and raised his eyebrows.
Lei Xiao naturally knew the little thoughts of Leng Yan's fifth princess.
Admittedly, there is really no need for him to do this, and he will not easily put himself and his subordinates into possible difficulties, even if it is only a little bit.
But if the helpless Princess Lengyan can be made to realize from the bottom of her heart that she is powerful and indispensable, it will undoubtedly play a decisive role in promoting the final victory over the opponent.
This point will be crucial to your future planning and layout, as well as your survival and development.
Just when Lei Xiao was thinking about the stakes in his heart.
Ariel hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded quickly, showing a slightly pleading expression: "You are from another world, please help me!"
As Leng Yan's fifth princess, this is all she can do.
"If I had told you earlier, it would have ended."
Looking at Ariel with an uncertain face in front of him and a pair of thin boys and girls with expectant faces, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said: "Then let us set off." (End of Chapter)
