Chapter 488 Deployment Completed and an Interlude
"The fourth step about taking advantage of the enemy's tactics is the opponent's camp."
Lei Xiao, who was holding the baton, his eyes as sharp as a blade, then said loudly: "And this is the most critical step to completely destroy the morale of the Holy Night Army."
"Oh?"
Ariel blinked her starry eyes in confusion and said doubtfully: "How do you say this?"
"According to Ogu's intelligence, it can be known that this time the Holy Night Army was almost in full force."
I saw the baton in Lei Xiao's hand move, surrounding the enemy's base camp on the sand table, and he raised his eyebrows and said: "This means that the enemy's base camp must be very empty."
"I understand, do you mean to copy the other party's hometown directly?"
Ariel's fair face suddenly showed a look of enlightenment, and she suddenly realized: "If the Holy Night Army cannot look at each other, it will indeed greatly damage the opponent's morale!"
"It's not just that."
While stroking his gray beard, Mr. Bai said, "The real purpose of your Excellency, Ke Qing, is to completely destroy the food, grass and baggage of the Holy Night Army, right?"
"Old General Bai is right. Only by burning down the Holy Night Army's food, grass and baggage can the enemy be completely frightened."
Lei Xiao nodded to the old general, smiled faintly and said: "In this way, even if the remaining Holy Night Army retreats successfully, I am afraid it will soon fall apart, so just withdraw."
"Your Excellency is right. The food and grass consumed by 80,000 soldiers every day is undoubtedly an extremely huge number. As long as we can burn all the opponent's granaries, the opponent will be unable to fight anymore!"
A middle-aged commander on the side suddenly felt excited and said: "If everything goes well, at least in a short period of time, the other party will not have the strength to make a comeback!"
"Indeed, this will undoubtedly completely cut off the other party's escape route."
A look of excitement also appeared on the old white face, and he said to Lei Xiao: "According to the cautious temperament of the old red devil, even if they come out in full force, there will still be a considerable number of elite guards left in the granary. It is not something that can be broken easily.”
"According to the previous comparison of strength, facing the large number of enemy troops approaching the city, we are naturally unable to attack, but with the help of Your Excellency, guest minister, all this will no longer be a problem!"
At this point, Bai Lao stroked his beard and smiled again: "Unexpectedly, the old red devil would never have thought that the strength of our Leng Yan Army has long been different from what it used to be!"
"When the opponent's camp and granary are burned down, and the forward attack is blocked, the opponent's fighting spirit and morale will soon be exhausted under the double blow."
Lei Xiao played with the baton in his hand, still maintaining a faint smile: "As long as the enemy begins to retreat hastily, and the soldiers from our three fortresses come out to cover them up, I think we will definitely win the battle."
"At that time, the opponent will naturally be defeated and will never be able to recover."
Lei Xiao's eyes fell on the burly old general opposite him again, and he smiled and said: "Old General Bai, what do you think of my humble opinion?"
I saw Mr. Bai first looking at each other with the two commanders of the Cold Flame Army. After seeing recognition in each other's eyes, he said sincerely: "Your Excellency Ke Qing's plan is impeccable, and we have no objection. It is indeed the most stable and effective tactic at present!”
"Great, it seems we are already in sight of victory!"
A hint of joy suddenly appeared on Ariel's delicate face, and she couldn't help but get excited.
"Your Highness, please be patient. This is just our preliminary plan. The battlefield is turbulent, fighter planes are fleeting, and there are countless variables."
Bai Lao bowed slightly to Ariel and said solemnly: "Coupled with the Red Devil's cautious temperament, if we want to fully implement the plan, we need to carefully consider every link."
"Yes, especially regarding the other party's possible reaction and our corresponding countermeasures and induction measures. If you make a wrong step, it is very likely that you will fall from active to passive."
Lei Xiao curled his lips and nodded in approval: "It is conceivable that since we have hidden power, it cannot be ruled out that the other party also hides some kind of trump card."
"So, everything before tomorrow morning is still unknown?"
The excited expression on Ariel's cheeks suddenly disappeared, and she couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Don't worry, Princess, just do your job well and leave the rest to us."
Lei Xiao nodded to Ariel, then pointed his baton at the opponent's forward military camp next to the mountains, and continued to discuss with Bai Lao: "As for this place, we must destroy it in one fell swoop, and we cannot leave any escape route for the opponent... …”
It was already evening when Commanders Lei Xiao, Bai Lao and other commanders finally decided on how to use the two fifth-level aces, including Tiger Sticks and Hong Ye, as well as many other possible accidents and countermeasures.
After walking out of the meeting hall and strolling to the balcony of the castle, Lei Xiao noticed.
In the distant sky, the big sun has completely set, leaving only the small sun still emitting the last ray of orange-red sunset light.
Lei Xiao looked down at the lush castle courtyard in front of him, everything dyed red by the setting sun, while stretching and taking a deep breath.
Everything is ready on our side, and we are just waiting for the Holy Night Army to come to our door.
"...You are from another world, I have a question for you."
Ariel walked up to Lei Xiao alone, hesitated for a moment, and spoke to Lei Xiao in a low voice.
"But it doesn't matter."
Lei Xiao turned around and responded to Ariel.
Under the last ray of sunset, Ariel's fair and delicate face and slender body were all covered with a layer of pale golden halo.
It makes people look at it, and they can't help but feel a sense of holiness.
"That..."
Ariel hesitated for a moment, then she blinked her long eyelashes and took a deep breath, then said seriously: "Why do you want to help me like this?"
At this point, Ariel's expression became a little more anxious, and she continued: "After all, there is no need for you to get involved in the war between my Leng Yan and Sheng Ye."
"The princess is wrong."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and said bluntly: "Helping you is actually helping myself, so you don't have to have any psychological burden."
"What do you mean?"
Ariel blinked and tilted her head in confusion, and asked quickly.
"What this world is about to face is far beyond your imagination."
Lei Xiao did not answer Ariel's question directly, but looked far away and said to himself: "Everything I did was to lay the foundation for the upcoming changes. Only by doing this, I Only then can we continue to survive here and explore the truth of everything.”
Lei Xiao's expression became a little more solemn: "This may be the real reason why we, lords from other worlds, came here."
What Lei Xiao was referring to was naturally the unknown catastrophe that could come at any time.
At the same time, Lei Xiao clearly understood that according to Wang Xi, the catastrophe was just the prelude to everything.
As for what incredible things will happen next, there is no way of knowing at this stage.
"Having said that, I don't even know the content of the catastrophe itself."
"There is only one thing left for me to do, and that is to develop regardless of all costs and continue to accumulate strength in order to cope with the terrible catastrophe that will sweep the entire world as mentioned many times in the prophecies. ”
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao's eyes were as firm as iron, exuding a shining light.
"What do you want to say? What is the world about to face?"
The doubts and confusion on Ariel's face became more and more obvious. While holding on to her clothes tightly, she asked two questions in succession.
"When the time is right, I will naturally tell you everything I know."
Lei Xiao retracted his distant gaze and said with a smile: "By the way, don't you still want to know what your ancestors of the Hero King said to me in the place where their ancestors slept in Luolong City? ”
Raising his eyebrows at Ariel, Lei Xiao continued leisurely: "At that time, maybe I will also describe it to you."
"Are you serious?"
After Lei Xiao changed the subject, Ariel's starry eyes lit up and she asked again.
"Natural can't be wrong."
Lei Xiao nodded undeniably, looked directly into Ariel's starry eyes and said: "So, at this stage, it is better to focus all your attention on the current offensive and defensive battle of the fortress."
"Then I will listen to you just once!"
Ariel nodded her head heavily, and then said: "When the time comes, you are not allowed to regret it!"
"Then it depends on the performance of my dear fifth princess."
Seeing that the sky had completely darkened, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and left the castle balcony on his own.
Afterwards, Bai Lao had already taken Bert and Ju Bai non-stop to familiarize themselves with the situation in the fortress in order to take over the next command work.
So Lei Xiao, Ariel, Huzhang and Hongye, who had nothing to do for the time being, came to a luxurious reception room to rest.
Originally, Mr. Bai was planning to instruct the servants in the castle to cook a big meal for the group.
After all, neither Lei Xiao, who is powerful, nor Ariel, who is a member of the royal family, can be ignored at will.
But the war was imminent, and every manpower in the fortress was very important, so they were rejected by both Lei Xiao and Ariel.
However, every morning, Rudy would specially prepare meals for Lei Xiao and other powerful players when going out, and put them in their respective storage spaces for later use.
Therefore, regarding the dining issue, the other main subordinates who are monitoring outside naturally do not need to worry.
As for Bai Lao, Bert, Ju Bai and others, they ate directly in the military camp below with other soldiers.
In the reception room, when Lei Xiao and the others took out the star-quality lunch boxes that were exquisitely plated and still very fresh from their respective storage spaces, they opened them.
He was immediately attracted to Ariel, who was taking out a large piece of cream cake.
At the same time, a dreamy sauce smell that made people's mouths tingle filled the room.
The exquisite lunch boxes not only include fresh vegetable salads, sandwiches and egg rolls, but also a variety of exquisite pastries, which look like works of art.
In comparison, the cream cake in Ariel's hand immediately became much duller.
Just as he was about to start, Lei Xiao looked at Ellie's vague expression of longing but pretended not to see it, curled his lips slightly, took out a spare meal from the space bracelet, and put it aside casually.
Seizing the stomach of this proud Princess Lengyan is also an indispensable part of the process of conquering her.
"You...what do you mean?"
Ariel finally couldn't bear it anymore and spoke tentatively.
"It's nothing, I just got an extra serving."
Lei Xiao shrugged and raised his eyebrows: "Why, does your dear fifth princess want to eat it?"
"I don't want to eat it."
Ariel gracefully cut a piece of cake with a knife and fork, her face clearly filled with duplicity.
"Then I'll keep it for myself as a midnight snack."
Lei Xiao didn't say anything else, and just prepared to put this box of extra meals back into the space bracelet.
"Wait a minute!"
I saw Ariel waving her hands quickly, then raising her neck, pretending to be reserved and saying: "Since you sincerely want to dedicate it to this princess..."
"Dear Your Highness the Fifth Princess, you are overthinking. I don't think so."
Lei Xiao speeded up the movements in his hands without even raising his head.
"Wait a minute! Can't I give you the cake in exchange?"
The eagerness on Ariel's face obviously increased a bit, and she asked eagerly: "Is it okay?"
The dishes Lei Xiao presented undoubtedly gave her the taste of a royal chef that she had not seen for a long time, and it was even better.
"Wouldn't it be over already?"
Lei Xiao looked at the arrogant princess with starry eyes full of desire, finally retracted his hand movements, raised his chin and said: "Come and get it yourself. As for the cake, your highness should keep it for yourself. I'm afraid of gaining weight." .”
"You hateful guy..."
Ariel, who had some itchy teeth, wanted to refute, but after all, she was a short-tongued cannibal, so she didn't say anything else, but just started to eat to her heart's content.
After a few people had eaten and drank enough, it didn't take long for Bai Lao and the other three kingdom generals to reappear in front of Lei Xiao and others.
"Your Highness, Princess Qi, the ordering platform has been set up and all the soldiers in the fortress have been assembled."
The crisp sound of armor clashing sounded. Bai Lao took a step forward, caressed Ariel's chest and saluted: "It's time for Her Royal Highness the Princess to come out to encourage the soldiers."
"No problem, I've already prepared."
Ariel nodded heavily and said firmly: "Let's go now."
Under the guidance of Bai Lao, following Ariel's footsteps, Lei Xiao, surrounded by Huzhuang and Hongye, soon arrived at a large school ground in the center of the fortress.
Under the bright starry sky and facing the deep bright moonlight, Lei Xiao noticed.
In the huge school grounds, pale golden magic light balls filled the air, and there were already soldiers in red-striped armor standing in neat rows.
At a glance, it was so dark that it was almost impossible to see the end.
On the other side, Ariel, surrounded by three kingdom generals, walked straight up to the tall general-pointing platform at the front. (End of chapter)
