Chapter 495 The first round of the fortress offensive and defensive battle ends
"Lord Red Devil, what on earth is going on?!"
On the command platform of the Holy Night Army behind the depression, a middle-aged deputy general of the Holy Night Army looked at the two remaining long-range legionnaires who were defeated like a tide in front of him. He looked at the majestic old man wearing red armor and a single metal eyepatch beside him. Xinxin said.
The other commanders and staff officers of the Holy Night Army around them also had expressions of shock, and their bloodshot eyes were wide open, as if they were about to fall out of their sockets.
What they saw in front of them was undoubtedly far beyond the expectations of these Holy Night Army generals who thought they had a chance to win.
"Noisy."
In the center of the panicked crowd, the one-eyed old man still looked calm and calm, and said calmly: "The situation is now obvious. There must be help in the Lengyan Army's camp."
However, although the one-eyed old man looked calm, the hardwood handrails beside him on the towering podium had long been shattered, leaving only hardwood chips on the floor, still drifting in the wind.
"But that doesn't make sense."
The middle-aged deputy general was stunned for a moment, and then said with doubts: "According to the information we have, Leng Yan has no reinforcements coming at all, so how can there be any reinforcements?"
Puzzled, the middle-aged deputy general pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Lord Red Devil, do you mean that the other party's reinforcements are not from Leng Yan's regular troops?"
"That's right, and the number of people is relatively limited, otherwise it would be impossible to escape my Holy Night's eyes."
The one-eyed old man known as the Red Devil nodded slightly and said calmly.
At this moment, it is not difficult to see from his murderous single eyes.
He was obviously trying his best to suppress the rising anger and keep his mind clear.
"By the way, when we were searching for Lengyan civilians during the day, three search squadrons were completely wiped out. Originally, I thought it was the Lengyan Rangers who did it. Now it seems that it is very likely that they were destroyed by these helping hands. In hand!”
A middle-aged staff officer wearing a robe slapped his forehead, with a look of sudden enlightenment.
"In this way, the opponent's strength is obviously not to be underestimated. He is actually able to move freely in such a large-scale and rigorous search operation."
The middle-aged deputy general nodded thoughtfully, and then said solemnly: "In addition, Ogu holds in his hands two squadrons of second-level elite secret agents in our Holy Night, and three strong fourth-level assassins from the Assassination Family. With the help of the Lengyan Army, it is obviously not easy to kill so many stealth masters silently without being noticed by us!”
"If it's not what I expected, there are at least five to six fourth-level powerhouses in the opponent's camp, and judging from the momentum, the number of magic cannons on the fortress is at least 300, and they are all at the second level. times.”
The one-eyed old man, whose anger had subsided a little, waved his hand, motioning for the priests and guards to come forward to gather the remaining troops, and said.
"Five to six fourth-level powerhouses, and 300 second-level magic cannons. This is obviously not a big deal that ordinary forces can come up with."
The middle-aged deputy general looked at the backs of the Holy Light priests who hurried forward, with a thoughtful expression on his face: "Lord Red Devil, is it possible that these mysterious helpers are Leng Yan's merchant family or other wealthy families?"
"Absolutely impossible."
The one-eyed old man smiled contemptuously and said disdainfully: "In the situation where the chaos in Lengyan King's capital is getting more and more intense, these powerful Lengyan families of the monkey spirits have neither chosen to fight against each other nor offended any party. Watch quietly. ”
"With such an uncertain future, naturally they will not come to support the border war. After all, the power of these wealthy families in the border area is extremely limited and they do not have much interest."
“And the Phytococcus family, whose trade fairs are spread all over Lengyan, has a complete set of emergency measures. Even if the entire eastern region of Lengyan falls into the hands of me, Shengye, it will not cause any harm. ”
After a pause, the one-eyed old man snorted again and said: "Furthermore, judging from past experience, if these Leng Yan wealthy families participate in the war, they would like to make it known to the whole world to show the strength of their families. , how could he act so low-key?”
"What the General said is absolutely true. When the situation in Leng Yan was still unclear, even the city lords who were slightly farther away collectively ignored the recruitment order of the Leng Yan royal family and did not choose to send troops, let alone the weak ones. The wealthy family is inferior to the Lengyan royal family, and they can’t wait to replace it.”
The middle-aged commander nodded with enlightenment, and raised his eyebrows again and asked: "So, where did this mysterious helping hand in the mountain fortress come from? Why did the other party want to help the Leng Yan royal family?"
"This is also what I am thinking about."
I saw the one-eyed old man caressing his metal goggles, narrowing his eyes slightly and saying: "Judging from the current situation, everything is still uncertain."
At this point, the one-eyed old man's only exposed eyes flashed with fierceness and confusion.
This sudden mysterious power reminded him of the great victory that their Holy Night Army had inexplicably achieved some time ago when they were at a disadvantage.
That victory was so smooth that it was puzzling. Although everything pointed to the two fledgling captains and deputy captains, the strength of those two people was only at the third level.
However, he killed nearly ten third-level commanders and one fourth-level lieutenant of the opponent in one fell swoop, thus turning the tide in one fell swoop. This was obviously a bit too strong.
"Remember those two people were called Yes and Carla, right? Even though I asked them many times after the war, they still insisted that it was all just because of good luck. Later, their teams were transferred and they No further contact.”
The one-eyed old man looked solemn and continued to think secretly in his heart.
"At that time, I felt that something was fishy. Now that I think about it, could it be related to this mysterious helping hand? But the other party was still standing here in our Holy Night before. Why did he appear at Leng Yan's place again this time?"
The one-eyed old man's brows were almost knitted together, causing the wrinkles on his forehead and corners of his eyes to become deeper and more obvious.
"Could it be that this mysterious helping hand has been wandering between us and the enemy, trying to balance the power between Sheng Ye and Leng Yan?!"
Thinking of this in his mind, a touch of disbelief suddenly appeared on the one-eyed old man's aging face.
Judging from the thunderous means of this mysterious aid, the strength is obviously extremely powerful. It is by no means comparable to ordinary forces. It should be a huge group with a rich heritage.
"But why did the other party do this? What is the other party's purpose?"
The face of the one-eyed old man became more solemn, and he continued to frown and think: "The most important thing is, who is the other party?!"
Just as the one-eyed old man, whose eyes were full of doubts, caused an uproar in his heart.
On the face of the middle-aged lieutenant on the side, another look of worry appeared: "Lord Red Devil, three of our legions have lost their combat capabilities. Once the big shots from the high-level main war faction in the royal capital are blamed..."
"Don't worry, you have been following me for a while, don't you still know my identity?"
The one-eyed old man regained his composure and said calmly: "I am a holy general of the Moon Palace. Apart from the Holy Lady, not even the new king dares to punish me for my sins casually, let alone those guys. .”
At this point, the one-eyed old man glanced at the lieutenant beside him and continued calmly: "Of course, I will naturally protect you."
"Furthermore, those guys were so hasty that they even forcibly intervened in border matters and assigned their confidants to the three legions in front. Otherwise, I would not have chosen to attack at this time."
The one-eyed old man snorted coldly, and then said: "After all, the Holy Lady is also cautious about attacking the Cold Flame Kingdom, but she has to pay back the favor she owed those guys."
< br>
"That's it, the villain is stupid, thank you very much, Lord Red Devil!"
A hint of joy suddenly appeared on the face of the middle-aged lieutenant, and he nodded and bowed repeatedly.
Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged deputy general seemed to have remembered something, and showed a nervous expression again: "Lord Red Devil, since the Lengyan Army has strong reinforcements, will the other party make other shocking moves, such as attacking? The empty camp behind me?”
"There is no need to worry. The large troops in the opponent's three fortresses show no signs of movement. As for sending a small force to sneak attack, that is even more impossible."
The one-eyed old man caressed his long beard and said with a confident smile: "In the camp behind, I have left a large group of second-level guards, enough to compete with ten strong fourth-level men. Even the mysterious helper may not be there. The appetite eats up so much elite power!”
"Lord Red Devil is right. The villain is a little too nervous. Besides, there is a high-strength defensive barrier in the camp. Even ten fourth-level experts cannot easily break it."
The middle-aged deputy general breathed a sigh of relief and frowned again: "Lord Red Devil, what should I do next?"
"Of course I'm still attacking with all my strength. Don't forget my real trump card, but I haven't played any of it."
Having said this, a strong fighting spirit appeared on the old face of the Red Devil, and he sneered: "Although I have no interest in attacking Leng Yan, since the opponent has already ridden on my neck.
Naturally, I want the other party to clearly understand that as the Holy General of the Moon Palace, I am not an easy target to deal with. ”
I saw the smile on the old Red Devil's face getting thicker, and he said solemnly: "Mysterious helper, no matter where you come from, let you see how miserable the outcome of opposing our Holy Night Army will be. ”
……
On the towering fortress, Lei Xiao looked at the last batch of long-range remnants retreating like a tide. His eyes slowly moved up and continued to look into the distance.
The remaining four Holy Night Legions were still in neat formation, showing no signs of retreating.
"Your Excellency, guest, it seems that the old monster of the Red Devil is indeed ready to continue fighting with me to the death."
The crisp sound of armor clashing sounded, and Old Bai, dressed in heavy white armor, walked over, frowning.
"Then we will naturally have to accompany you to the end."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and then asked: "Old General Bai, how are our casualties?"
"There are probably about a brigade of casualties, and they are basically all lost while trying to catch turtles in an urn. The chaplain regiment commanded by General Jubai is currently doing its best to treat them."
Mr. Bai first explained the current situation, and then said gratefully to Lei Xiao: "Thanks to Your Excellency Ke Qing's absolute defensive barrier, otherwise my soldiers would have suffered heavy losses in the first round of fortress attack and defense just now."
"You're welcome, General Bai. If you want to thank me, just thank Princess Ariel."
Lei Xiao still maintained a faint smile and nodded.
"Speaking of which, Sir, General Burt has completely cleared away the invading legions in Weng City and captured a large number of Holy Night Army."
The old white laughter came over again: "I think the deflated old red devil must have a ridiculous look of wanting to have an attack but pretending to be calm? I hope he can hold back his internal injuries."
"Is the opponent's coach the Red Devils?"
After listening to Bai Lao's words, Lei Xiao looked thoughtful.
Before that, Lei Xiao had already learned about it through the information provided by Lin and Bai Lao's introduction.
Red Devil is one of the Holy Night Kingdom's Moon Palace Saints. When Bai Lao and the other party were young, they were rivals of each other, and they were also considered old enemies in life.
"What is different from the dominance of the Lengyan royal family in the Lengyan Kingdom is that in addition to the Holy Night royal family, the highest power center of the Holy Night Kingdom also has a mysterious church called the Moon Palace."
Lei Xiao sniffed the bloody air mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke, and nodded thoughtfully: "Needless to say, the leader of the royal family is now the new king of Shengye, and the leader of the Moon Palace is even more mysterious. Saint of the Moon Temple.”
"It is said that there is a very special secret method in the Moon Palace that allows the previous Saint of the Moon Palace to transfer her memories to the next Saint of the Moon Palace before she dies. Therefore, in a sense, the Moon Palace The Saint is undoubtedly the wisest being in the entire Holy Night Kingdom.”
"Because of this, after years of development, the Moon Palace has been able to reach a scale that can compete with the Holy Night Royal Family."
"It stands to reason that in this case, in order to prevent the royal power from being threatened, the Holy Night royal family should take action to suppress it, but the relationship between the two is very subtle, and there has almost never been any hostile behavior. ”
"I have to say that both the mysterious Moon Palace and the saint in the Moon Palace are very curious."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and continued to think secretly in his heart.
"About these things, as I continue to move forward, everything will gradually be unveiled."
After pondering this in his heart, Lei Xiao brought his thoughts back to the current battlefield.
After the Holy Night Army's long-range legion was completely defeated, the three subordinates Hong Ye, Ye Cang and Chao Yan also returned to the army.
At this time, Lei Xiao was able to detect it keenly.
Except for Hong Ye who still looked normal, Ye Cang and Chao Yan both looked a little depressed.
It seems that for these two fourth-level experts, the high-intensity supply of magic power just now was obviously too much.
"Take it quickly."
I saw Lei Xiao's mind moved, and he handed over the two stars-returning magic pills surrounded by strange fragrance to the two of them.
This third-level magic potion is upgraded from the magic recovery pill refined by Faxia, and has the effect of accelerating the recovery of magic power.
According to Faxia, the second-level magic recovery pill still has a good effect on the third-level powerhouse.
Therefore, the third-level Star Return Demonic Pill can undoubtedly play a big role in Ye Cang and Chao Yan.
"Thank you, sir!"
Ye Cang and Chao Yan took the potion with both hands, both with expressions of gratitude, and bowed to Lei Xiao.
"Okay, then we should start taking the next step."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, his eyes bright and clear. (End of chapter)
