Chapter 486 The war is coming
"Ju Baiqing, what can we do?"
Hearing the sound, Ariel looked happy and asked quickly.
"Back to Princess, the main reason why General Bai's injuries are very serious is because most of the energy circuits in his body were forcibly shattered by Augu and others."
Ju Bai sighed softly and responded: "Such a serious situation not only requires several years or even more than ten years of careful care before you can recover, but your own strength will be limited to a considerable extent."
Having said this, Ju Bai hesitated for a moment, then continued: "But it is not impossible for General Bai to recover quickly."
"Ju Baiqing, please stop gasping for air at this time and speak quickly!"
Ariel's starry eyes flickered as she asked eagerly.
"Go back to Princess, the solution is actually very simple."
Ju Bai nodded to Ariel, caressing her chest and responded: "As long as we can find a magic potion that can repair energy circuits."
After listening to the conversation between Ariel and Ju Bai, Lei Xiao on the side nodded thoughtfully.
The energy circuits Ju Bai mentioned were the meridians, which meant that Bai Lao had suffered serious internal injuries.
"You're right, how could I forget this!"
Ariel's clear starry eyes lit up, and she immediately held up her hands. Three exquisite red brocade boxes appeared on her palms.
I saw her opening the brocade box and saying excitedly: "These are three third-level Ode Feather Pills, which happen to have the effect of repairing energy circuits!"
"Your Royal Highness, this is exactly what I hesitated about just now."
Ju Bai shook his head helplessly and added: "General Bai's injury is extremely serious. In addition, the old general himself is a powerful fourth-level peak expert. The role that third-level magic medicine can play is extremely limited. It just shortens the recovery period a little bit.”
"This is a bit difficult..."
Ariel's eyebrows, which were originally raised, suddenly lowered, and she looked embarrassed as she didn't know what to do.
As the fifth princess of Leng Yan, she clearly understands.
In the most secret potion warehouses of the royal castle, there are indeed a large number of fourth-level healing potions stored.
But only her father himself has the right to enter those potion warehouses.
After all, the fourth-level magic potion is extremely precious, and it can undoubtedly be regarded as the most important item in the royal family besides the magic weapon that governs the country.
And she only had third-level potions on her body at most, and no higher levels.
The most important thing is that judging from the current chaotic situation in the capital, it is obviously unrealistic to successfully obtain the fourth-level healing potion, not to mention that her father is still in a coma. .
Furthermore, as the saying goes, distant water cannot quench near thirst. Even if they tried their best to obtain the fourth-level magic potion elsewhere, I am afraid that this fortress has already been captured by the Holy Night Army.
Looking at Ariel's helpless look, Bai Lao resisted the tearing feeling that kept pouring out of his body and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I understand your kindness, but how can the fourth-level healing potion be used?" Something you obtained casually? Please don’t worry about it, Princess.”
After finishing speaking, Bai Lao shook his head helplessly.
You must know that the value of a fourth-level healing magic potion can be at least ten times that of equipment of the same level, and it is a precious item at the level of tens of millions of golden dragons.
Such a high price is definitely an astronomical figure that is out of reach even for myself, who is a general of the kingdom and has a distinguished title.
"By the way, that guy must have a way!"
Ariel's clear eyes lit up, and she came close to Lei Xiao again, with an expectant look on her face.
After this series of dangerous events, Ariel would subconsciously think of Lei Xiao almost whenever she encountered a problem.
"Dear Your Highness the Fifth Princess, is this what you are talking about?"
Lei Xiao, who had been prepared for a long time, raised his eyebrows, and before opening the lid, a delicate brocade box that could already be felt surrounded by a strange fragrance appeared in the palm of his hand.
As Lei Xiao slowly opened the lid of the box, a refreshing and rich fragrance immediately poured into the nostrils of everyone present, making people feel like they were being washed by the spring breeze.
"It is indeed a fourth-level healing potion!"
Looking at the crystal clear and round potion on Lei Xiao's palm, his orange-white starry eyes lit up and he blurted out immediately.
"This is indeed a fourth-level healing potion."
Lei Xiao had a calm expression and began to explain: "This potion is called Holy Light Angel Pill. It has the functions of repairing energy circuits, increasing Qi and blood, detoxifying, removing blood stasis, regenerating, and relieving abnormalities below level four." Status effect.”
Needless to say, this magic potion was upgraded from the loot that Lei Xiao obtained from the man in black robe No. 9 not long ago.
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao handed the potion to Ariel without hesitation and said calmly: "Just take it."
"But..."
Ariel hurriedly took Lei Xiao's Holy Light Angel Pill and couldn't help but be stunned.
As the fifth princess of Leng Yan, she naturally knows how valuable this thing is.
While feeling extremely happy in her heart, Ariel said seriously: "As a member of the royal family, naturally I will not owe favors casually. How do you want to repay me?"
"Then give me the three third-level magic potions in your hand."
Lei Xiao shrugged and responded lightly.
This fourth-level Holy Light Angel Pill was upgraded from the Ode Feathering Pill in Ariel's hand.
From this, no matter from the perspective of Bai Lao's importance or from the aspect of replenishing inventory, this is obviously a sure profit.
"Is this enough?"
Ariel was stunned again, a trace of doubt and surprise suddenly appeared on her fair face.
You know, even if ten Ode Feathering Pills are added together, they may not be able to exchange for a higher-level Holy Light Angel Pill.
"Bring it to you."
Lei Xiao didn't say anything else. He directly pocketed the three magic potions in Ariel's hand and said calmly: "It's more important to treat General Bai now. We'll talk about other things later."
"I owe you a favor!"
Ariel nodded solemnly, immediately brought Ju Bai to Bai Lao, and began to continue the treatment.
Lei Xiao on the side has already started upgrading three new magic potions.
[Congratulations, your "Tier 3 Magic Potion: Ode Feathering Pill" has been upgraded to "Level 4 Magic Potion: Holy Light Angel Pill"! 】
[Congratulations, your "Tier 3 Magic Potion: Ode to Feathering Pill" has been upgraded to 100 "Tier 3 Magic Potion: Ode to Feathering Pill"! 】
[Congratulations, your "Tier 3 Magic Potion: Ode Feathering Pill" has been upgraded to "Level 4 Magic Potion: Holy Light Angel Pill"! 】
"Not bad, not bad. After consuming one pill, not only did I get two pills back, but I also got a hundred Ode Feather Pills."
"The most important thing is that my dear Fifth Princess and Old General Bai owe me a favor."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and thought to himself: "There is simply no more suitable deal in the world than this."
Then, Lei Xiao noticed.
Not long after taking the Holy Light Angel Pill, with the continuous refining and the medicine taking effect, the haggard look on Bai Lao's old face, who was sitting cross-legged, obviously began to fade.
Correspondingly, the momentum exuded from his body is also continuing to rise at a steady speed.
The potion, which is called a miracle, is indeed very effective, just like blooming flowers from dead wood.
About a quarter of an hour later, Bai Lao slowly opened his closed eyes. His old face was full of joy, and judging from his complexion, he was completely different from before.
He stood up easily and said gratefully to Ariel and Lei Xiao: "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess. Thank you, Your Excellency. Although I have only temporarily refined a part of the medicinal power, I already feel as if I have been reborn!"
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao smiled and nodded while letting out a sigh of relief.
It can be seen from Bai Lao's current state that although he has not yet fully refined the medicinal power, compared with his previous weakness, it is more than enough to carry out command work.
This undoubtedly means that I have a little more confidence against the upcoming powerful enemy.
"General Bai, the enemy is about to attack the city, we'd better take action quickly."
Feeling relieved in his heart, Lei Xiao nodded to the white-haired old man in front of him and said seriously.
"What you said is absolutely true. The top priority is to completely eliminate the remaining forces of Ogu first!"
The extremely tall and burly Bai Lao suddenly had a look of awe in his eyes and nodded in response.
After leaving the cellar, under the auspices of Mr. Bai, who put on a set of heavy white armor, and based on the intelligence obtained by Ye Cang, the remaining forces of Ogu were quickly and completely wiped out.
As for Ogu himself, who was already like a walking zombie and showed no threat, he was imprisoned by Bai Lao in the deepest part of the castle dungeon.
As a Shengye person, he was able to successfully sneak into the position of deputy general Leng Yan. There are undoubtedly many secrets in this person that need to be discovered.
As for the poor residents who almost fell into the trap again, this time they were properly accommodated.
A group of personal guards sent by Bai Lao escorted them to the rear of the fortress, where there were well-equipped towns and villages.
Before leaving, Ariel distributed a large sum of gold dragons to everyone, which was enough for all residents to start a new and prosperous life.
After all the chores were taken care of, under Bai Lao's order, all the soldiers in the mountain fortress entered a state of war.
For a time, the entire mountain fortress was like a huge war machine, and every gear began to rotate at high speed.
Of course, in order to avoid being noticed by the Holy Night Army, on the surface, everything is still business as usual in the fortress.
Lei Xiao, who had regained the guardian of the earth in the castle, also spread the eight people, Ye Cang, Chao Yan, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Lin, Bai Wei, A Ling, and A Bing, to various fortresses around the fortress. Road to prevent enemy infiltration.
With the close surveillance of four fourth-level powerhouses and four peak third-level powerhouses, including Nanxing Nanyue, who is extremely good at tracking, the spies of the Holy Night Army will not be able to move in or out. Possible things.
This point is also the top priority of this fortress offensive and defensive battle.
Having just finished arranging the positions of his subordinates, under the guidance of Bai Lao, Lei Xiao returned to the castle meeting hall just now, preparing to further discuss how to deal with it.
I saw that this place had been completely cleaned, leaving almost no trace.
However, the bloody smell still lingering in the air showed that there had obviously been a fierce battle not long ago.
Currently in the hall, in addition to Lei Xiao, Huzhang, Hongye, Ariel, Bert, and Jubai, there are also Bai Lao and two main commanders at the peak level of the third level.
Through Bai Lao's description of the combat power of both the enemy and ourselves, Lei Xiao further learned.
Just like the information Lin obtained, the main force stationed in this mountain fortress is one of the eight most powerful royal legions in the Cold Flame Kingdom, the fortress legion under Bai Lao.
Excluding the wiped out remaining forces of Ogu, there are still 10,000 people, including an elite second-tier squadron of 1,000 people.
Among the legions, there is currently only Bai Lao, a fourth-level expert, and there are ten third-level commanders.
As for the other two small fortresses, both have a size of close to 10,000 defenders, and their strength is at the first level. There are no fourth-level strong men, and there are only twelve third-level commanders each.
"As for the combat power on Shengye's side, it is undoubtedly far greater than ours."
I saw Mr. Bai standing in front of the giant sand table. He frowned and introduced: "As far as I know, this Holy Night has dispatched three legions directly under the royal family. The combat power of each legion is higher than the fortress legion under my command. , after all, my right-hand man no longer exists, and after several battles, the elite soldiers have not been replenished in time.”
"In other words, does the opponent have three elite royal legions and five miscellaneous legions?"
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and said with a solemn expression: "In this case, including the general and the two lieutenants, the number of fourth-level strong men on the opponent's side should be nine, and the third-level strong ones are close to a hundred. ”
"That's right, the opponent has nine fourth-level experts and nearly a hundred third-level experts. Among them, the coach Red Devil, like me, is at the peak of the fourth level, and his strength cannot be underestimated."
Bai Lao nodded solemnly and said seriously: "However, compared with his impressive strength, Red Devil's cautious and cunning character deserves our attention more."
After hearing Mr. Bai's introduction, everyone present took a deep breath of the cold air.
Just nine fourth-level experts and nearly a hundred third-level experts are enough to make people fearful. They are almost equal to the combat power of two fifth-level experts, not to mention there are 80,000 other soldiers.
It is conceivable that starting before dawn tomorrow, this place will turn into a tragic Shura battlefield.
"What are you afraid of? We have two genuine fifth-level powerhouses here! Even one blow can knock down a large chunk of the opponent!"
While feeling anxious, Ariel regained her composure and looked at Lei Xiao proudly.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for being honest. The battlefield is different from small-scale battles between strong men. Among the thousands of soldiers, there are no swords and intrigues. When well-trained soldiers form a battle formation, they can often perform far better than individual soldiers. ”
While stroking his gray beard, Mr. Bai continued: "You can't kill a chicken with a bull's knife. When the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, it is not the wisest choice to use high-level strong men to deal with ordinary soldiers."
"After all, although high-level experts are extremely powerful, there are times when their energy is exhausted. They must use good steel on the blade to deal a heavy blow to their opponents as much as possible."
Having said this, Bai Lao nodded to Lei Xiao and said solemnly: "The two powerful fifth-level men under your command are undoubtedly the most critical cards for us in this battle. We must plan carefully. ”
"On this point, I have some suggestions in mind that I would like to share with you."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and said calmly. (End of chapter)
