Chapter 509 The End of the Fortress Attack and Defense Battle


Chapter 509 The End of the Fortress Attack and Defense Battle

He noticed the billowing smoke rising in the direction of the camp behind him.

Not only was the old red devil's eyes full of disbelief, but his words stopped abruptly.

Even the surrounding Holy Night Army soldiers had expressions of shock and could hardly believe their eyes.

For a moment, there was nothing but the constant explosions and shouts of death all around.

This area was actually completely silent, eerily quiet.

Such an extremely quiet scene undoubtedly formed a sharp contrast with the extremely moving battlefield around it, and seemed very out of place.

While everyone was stunned.

A staff officer with a panic-stricken expression rushed to the Red Devil and crawled directly in the tunnel: "Lord Red Devil, our camp has been violently attacked by the opponent. The absolute defense barrier has been broken. Food and fodder have been destroyed." I’m afraid I can’t keep it!”

"What?!"

Hearing the sound, a pair of bloodshot gray eyeballs appeared on the old face of the Red Devil, almost bursting out of their sockets.

You know, the absolute defensive barrier in the rear camp is equipped with three of the most elite magician squadrons.

It is so strong that even if the entire squadron of Griffin Knights was wiped out just now and all the alchemy bombs were dropped, it would be impossible to break it.

In addition, there are three elite archer squadrons and four elite heavy infantry squadrons guarding the camp.

Such a second-level elite combat force with a scale of thousands of people, and relying on the absolute defensive barrier, is enough to defeat ten fourth-level strong men!

"So, how did the other party do it?! Could it be that... there are really fifth-level strong men in the camp of the mysterious helper?!"

Realizing this, a chill instantly surged into the Red Devil's mind.

It wasn't until this moment that he fully realized it.

How terrifying is that mysterious helping hand hidden in the dark.

"First, he destroyed Ogu's city offering, then he used a trick to swallow up my most elite infiltration legion. Then he played hard to get, and knocked down my two long-range legions one after another."

Recalling the scenes of this fortress offensive and defensive battle, the Red Devil couldn't help but take a breath of the turbid air full of blood and anxiety, and set off huge waves in his heart.

"Then, this mysterious helper used thunderous means to successively destroy my squadron of gryphon knights, the disappearing eighth legion, and the strong men of the Dark Devouring Society. These three trump cards that were almost certain to win, in the end, actually directly Attacked my camp? ”

Looking ahead at the forest edge fortress that was still strong despite the fierce attack, the red devil's old eyes were full of shock.

"Originally, I thought that as long as I showed my three trump cards, I would surely tip the balance of victory and welcome the arrival of the goddess of victory. However, I never thought that the opponent's trump card would be the real winner of this war."

"What's even more frightening is that even though the mysterious helper has top-notch combat power like a fifth-level powerhouse on his side, it was not until the last critical moment that he calmly dispatched it..."

"In short, recalling all the events in this battle, such calm strategies and layouts, it makes one's spine shiver! The old white man with an elm-headed head would never be able to do this!"
< br>

Thinking of this, the Red Devil's expression became more solemn and confused.

Then he roared in his heart: "So, who am I against? In other words, who is that mysterious helping hand?!"

At the same time as the Red Devil's mind was agitated.

Looking towards the camp in the distance, thick black smoke was constantly billowing.

The murderous intent from before was no longer on the faces of the surrounding Holy Night soldiers, replaced by uneasiness and fear.

In an instant, the originally high morale and fighting spirit dropped to freezing point.

"Lord Red Devil, retreat! I, Holy Night, have no chance of winning anymore!"

Directly opposite, the middle-aged deputy general knelt down on one knee again, bowed his head and begged.

"I'll second the proposal!"

The other staff officers also made the same move.

After hearing the requests of the officers, this time, the red devil's clenched fist finally had no choice but to loosen.

Knowing that the situation was over, he did not hesitate anymore, and then waved his hand and ordered: "First of all, instruct all water magicians to create as much muddy terrain as possible on the only way down the mountain.

Secondly, arrange the Juma and Luzhai to block the pursuit of the opponent's cavalry. Finally, the light and heavy infantry brigade of each legion will take the rear and retreat! ”

A moment later, the low sound of the retreat horn resounded throughout the battlefield.

……

"Great, the Holy Night Army finally retreated!"

At the same time, looking at the Holy Night Army soldiers retreating like a flood from the wall of the fortress at the edge of the forest, a hint of uncontrollable joy suddenly appeared on Ariel's delicate face.

She looked at Lei Xiao, who was standing calmly aside, and said excitedly: "Everything is exactly as you expected!"

At this moment, Ariel, as Princess Lengyan, understood clearly.

The calm-looking young man in front of him, who had descended from another world, not only successfully repelled eight legions of the Holy Night Army, but also thwarted their attempt to capture three fortresses.

Moreover, it also indirectly saved countless unarmed Lengyan people after the fortress!

Such achievements are enough for this young man from another world to go down in the history of Leng Yan forever and become a Leng Yan hero respected by thousands of people!

It is not even difficult to be canonized by the royal family and become the most dazzling emerging nobleman in Lengyan's upper class society!

"However, for him, he would probably just sneer at being promoted to a higher position and being rewarded with treasures, things that almost everyone dreams of."

Looking at Lei Xiao's calm profile, Ariel sighed in her heart again.

"With this guy's incredible financial resources and solid foundation, I'm afraid he should be the one who gives others promotions and rewards..."

Thinking of this, Ariel lowered her starry eyes and shook her head helplessly.

“It’s a trivial skill, but it’s nothing worth mentioning.”

Listening to the excited cheers of the surrounding soldiers guarding the city, Lei Xiao first smiled faintly at Ariel.

Then, he focused his gaze on the magicians of the Holy Night Army who were concentrating on casting spells not far from the city wall, guarded by heavy infantry.

Looking at these water magicians, either creating huge water balls to hit the ground, or simply creating a small dark cloud dripping rain, Lei Xiao couldn't help but have a thoughtful look on his face.

There is no doubt that these magicians are obviously creating a muddy terrain to prevent the Cold Flame Army from breaking out and causing greater casualties.

"I have already had some ideas about changing the terrain of the battlefield, but in the final analysis, we still have to rely on powerful magical power."

Realizing this, Lei Xiao, surrounded by his subordinates, raised his eyebrows slightly.

For him, he has Hong Ye, who is a red dragon, and Chaoyan, a great fire magician, under his command.

It is naturally a matter of the blink of an eye to completely evaporate this water-filled terrain and turn it into solid soil again.

"Your Excellency, the old red devil has finally retreated!"

Accompanied by a burst of hearty laughter.

The old man wearing white armor, already surrounded by several commanders of the Cold Flame Army, walked over in a hurry, and said excitedly: "This time, it's all thanks to Your Highness the Princess and Your Excellency the Guest!"

Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of Bai Lao.

All the commanders of the Cold Flame Army put their hands on their chests and bowed deeply to Lei Xiao and Ariel to express their gratitude.

"General Bai and the commanders, you don't have to be polite. This battle is the result of the joint efforts of everyone present."

Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao then asked: "Old General Bai, are our three fortresses and the pursuit troops who beat the drowned dogs ready?"

"Your Excellency, Guest Minister, we are all ready. There are a total of 8,000 cavalry in the three fortresses, and they are already ready to try!"

Nodding to Lei Xiao, Bai Laoyi stroked his gray beard and responded immediately.

"Very good, let's start now when the opponent's morale is at its lowest."

Having said this, Lei Xiao turned his head and faced Hong Ye next to him, and ordered: "Go ahead, first make the opponent's magical terrain ineffective, destroy the resistance to horses and Lu Zhai, and then leave the last fear to the opponent. ”

"As you command! My lord."

Hearing this, Hong Ye bowed slightly at first, and then disappeared in front of Lei Xiao in a flash.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, guest. I'll excuse you now!"

After saluting Lei Xiao again, Bai Lao and others took steps and hurriedly went to arrange the pursuit mission.

That's it, it didn't take long.

Accompanied by waves of raging flames and the endless roar of galloping horse hooves.

Behind the Holy Night Army, which was hurriedly evacuating, the screams of ghosts and wolves were heard again.

On the towering city wall, looking at the flames rising from time to time in the distance, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

Just now, Huzhang and the other four people, as well as Sean and the other ten pterodactyl knights, had returned intact.

However, Lei Xiao did not let these subordinates go to the battlefield again, but ordered everyone to rest where they were.

At this moment, Lei Xiao understood clearly.

What he wanted to do was naturally not to drive away the Holy Night Army that was fleeing in embarrassment.

Instead, it rebalances the border combat power between Leng Yan and Sheng Ye, so that the two sides once again return to a state of confrontation where neither can destroy the other.

It is conceivable that if the Holy Night Army is completely disabled here.

Then, without the control of the Holy Night Army, the Cold Flame Border Legion will undoubtedly become an extremely unstable factor.

"Just like what I just thought, once this cold flame army is used by those princes, and then turns against me, it will be a thing that outweighs the gains and losses."

Pouting his lips slightly, Lei Xiao continued to think.

"As for the underground tunnel, I have asked Hongye to seal the entrance and handed it over to Guanzhong's younger brother Guante, who will lead the garrison brigade recruited from Kongqing Town to guard it."
< br>

"Now that we have figured out the specific location of the tunnel, it is not difficult to defend it."

"In addition, when I left, I also took back the space bracelets from all the ice knights and earth guardians."

At this time, Lei Xiao was seen looking into the distance, pursuing the battlefield with looming flames, and thinking thoughtfully: "As for Guante, just turn around and let Guan Zhong come in contact and wait for an opportunity to subdue him."
< br>

"By the way, there is also a garrison brigade and two third-level powerhouses in Mailan Town where Xuan Yue is located. We have to let Xuan Yue get in touch with them later."

"Fortunately, as far as I know, the losses of the two garrison brigades of Kongqing Town and Mailan Town were not very big in this battle."

"As for the three cities under my command, Magnet Town, Shuiyue City, and Fenglong City, they did not send reinforcements to this border battlefield, and Red Arrow Town, which did not even have a garrison before, let alone that."


Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's brows wrinkled slightly again.

I thought to myself: "Speaking of which, I always feel that the underground tunnel under the armory does not look like it was formed naturally... However, there are no traces of artificial digging. From this, where is the mystery? Where? ”

After thinking for a moment, Lei Xiao's frowned brows relaxed again, and he shook his head and said: "That's all, the top priority right now is to completely stabilize the border battlefield, and then wait for an opportunity to conquer Ariel. As for other things, we can talk about it later. .”

Realizing this, Lei Xiao's dark eyes moved and fell on Ariel beside him, only to find that this girl was also looking at him with a complicated expression.

"Dear Your Highness the Fifth Princess, are there any flowers on my face?"

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and teased.

"Don't... don't be sentimental. This princess was just looking at your back, which happened to be blocked by your head!"

On the other side, Ariel quickly retracted her gaze, flicked the ponytail behind her head, and hummed softly.

However, just after she finished speaking, Ariel cast her gaze over again unconsciously and said to Lei Xiao, "I'm from another world. It's all thanks to you this time."

After speaking, Ariel regained her energy and gave a standard chest-stroking salute to Lei Xiao: "On behalf of the Lengyan people and all the Lengyan soldiers in the three fortresses, I would like to thank you for your help!"

"You're welcome, it's just a little effort."

Lei Xiao smiled lightly, waved his hand slightly and said.

Seemingly inadvertently, Lei Xiao stared into Ariel's starry eyes again and said: "However, even if the crisis is resolved this time, as the fifth princess of Lengyan, you should understand better than anyone else that this is just a temporary solution. It’s just a fight to cure the root cause.”

"You're right, but that's all I can do."

Hearing the sound, Ariel recalled everything that happened in the royal capital. Ariel's starry eyes lowered, and a sense of powerlessness and frustration surged into her heart again.

Although she never said it, Ariel knew it clearly in her heart.

She couldn't see any hope for Leng Yan's future in her three royal brothers.

All she saw were the reckless killings, crazy destruction in the capital, and the desperate eyes of innocent civilians on the streets before they died.

The once prosperous royal capital has now become a bloody battlefield for power.

Her father's admonitions, the royal family's mottos, and even the safety of the entire kingdom and its people had long been forgotten by her three royal brothers.

What makes Ariel even more uncomfortable is that she, as weak as she is, can't change anything about all this.

On the contrary, it was because of the pursuit of her brother Wang that she fled the royal capital in embarrassment, and was even forced to leave her seriously ill father.

"Perhaps there is another possibility in you."

Just when Ariel thought of this in despair.

On the other side, Lei Xiao's gentle and calm voice sounded again. (End of chapter)
