Chapter 537 Her Royal Highness the Princess’s eyes are shining
Feeling the change in Lei Xiao's tone, Mr. Bai nodded and said: "Your Excellency, please speak."
"That means never be an enemy of Princess Ariel and me."
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao's expression became calm again, and he said: "Of course, this third point is more appropriate than a condition so much as a suggestion."
Hearing the warning in Lei Xiao's words, Bai Lao nodded slowly again.
Then he responded: "Your Excellency, guest, please rest assured that my family has been loyal to Lord Lengyan for generations and has never participated in power disputes. I am willing to guarantee this with my own reputation and that of my family!"
After a pause, Mr. Bai added: "The help of Your Excellency Ke Qing and Her Royal Highness the Princess not only saved my life, but also saved my reputation from being trampled by that guy Ogu.
Moreover, he also saved 30,000 Lengyan soldiers in three fortresses and Lengyan people in countless villages behind the fortresses. Such a kindness will never be forgotten! ”
After finishing speaking, Mr. Bai knelt down solemnly on one knee, and bowed to Lei Xiao and Ariel respectively, stroking their chests.
At this moment, while feeling overwhelmed with gratitude, Bai Lao understood clearly.
Although there is still a faction of the Great Prince sitting behind the mountain fortress.
However, these impressive forces were the vanguard forces who ignored the call-up orders. Instead, they established a second line of defense behind the fortress with Songluo City as the center.
At this point, the answer is naturally self-evident.
The eldest prince's faction obviously wanted to use himself, the general of the kingdom who had fought for Leng Yan all his life, and the 30,000 Leng Yan defenders in the three fortresses as cannon fodder to weaken the invading Holy Night Army as much as possible.
It would be best if they could hold on, but if not, the second line of defense led by Songluo City would be used to defeat the already weakened Holy Night Army.
In this way, not only can it reduce its own troop losses to the greatest extent.
Moreover, being able to gain the reputation of repelling the Holy Night Army is undoubtedly killing two birds with one stone.
In addition, in order to establish a second line of defense, the prince's faction recruited farmers from many surrounding villages and towns to build fortifications.
However, no protection measures have been provided to these remote villages and towns on the periphery of the city.
It can be seen that once the mountain fortress is lost, these remote villages will naturally be the first targets to be looted.
The eldest prince's faction can also take advantage of this period of time to mobilize troops to prepare for the enemy...
Thinking of this, Bai Lao, who was helped up by Lei Xiao, couldn't help but sigh again.
This kind of approach, compared with the guest minister in front of you, is naturally a judgment.
"Your Excellency, Your Majesty the Princess, I have seen everything you have done. There is a certain force behind the fortress that is incomparable to the two of you!"
After being helped up, Bai Lao looked solemn and nodded again.
On the other side, after hearing what Bai Lao meant, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Regarding the actions of the eldest prince, after combining the information provided by Orr just now, Lei Xiao had already guessed a lot.
However, Lei Xiao did not sneer too much at the eldest prince's approach of weakening the Holy Night Army. If he were in the opponent's position, he might not make the same choice.
After all, Lei Xiao clearly understands that in this different world where strength is paramount, there is never any righteousness, but only the choices that need to be made for the sake of victory.
Since I can achieve both fame and fortune, why would I choose such low-level methods?
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and then responded: "Okay, General Bai, since you have agreed to the three conditions, let's get started now."
"Understood, Your Excellency, Your Majesty the Princess, please come with me."
Nodding to Lei Xiao and Ariel, with a crisp sound of armor clashing, Bai Lao once again walked at the front of the team.
Next, we went straight to the city wall directly in front of the mountain fortress.
After directing the subordinates, Lei Xiao confirmed it after careful inspection.
Due to the powerful effect of the previous absolute defense barrier.
Therefore, the 200 second-order fire magic cannons here have not suffered any losses.
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao immediately took back 160, and took all the 10 unupgraded first-order magic cannons and 10 unupgraded second-order magic cannons provided by Bai Lao.
In the process, Bai Lao also ordered his cronies to bring level 3 and above equipment as trophies.
After taking inventory, there were 10 level 3 long swords, 5 level 3 shields, 5 level 3 staffs, 3 level 3 longbows, 3 level 3 two-handed swords, 2 level 3 battle axes, and 1 level 3 spear. , and 2 sets each of third-level robes, third-level leather armor, and third-level light armor.
In addition, there is a fourth-level staff, a fourth-level long bow, a fourth-level battle ax, a fourth-level two-handed sword, and a fourth-level long sword.
Needless to say, in a fierce battlefield, armor is obviously more seriously damaged than weapons.
After taking inventory, Lei Xiao waved his hand again and unceremoniously put all 35 pieces of third-level equipment and 5 pieces of fourth-level equipment into the space bracelet.
After seeing this scene, Bai Lao's expression did not show any change.
You must know that the cost of a second-level magic cannon is more than one million golden dragons, and its value is significantly higher than that of a fourth-level weapon.
Therefore, this is naturally a very good deal, or it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a gift from the mysterious guest.
Of course, while being grateful, what Bai Lao didn't know was.
Lei Xiao can easily turn these equipment and magic cannons into gold by just moving his fingers, obtaining a value that far exceeds the value before upgrading.
All in all, this is obviously a very good deal for both parties.
"Okay, let's go to the Linbian Fortress and have a look."
Lei Xiao casually patted the dust on his hands and spoke again.
In this way, two maids, Aling and Bing, were left to take care of Bert and others, accompanying them all the way.
It didn't take long for Lei Xiao and his party, accompanied by Bai Lao, to reach the wall of the forest edge fortress again.
Under the reflection of the magic light ball released by the guarding soldiers, at a glance, compared with the intact mountain fortress, this place is obviously much more devastated.
At least one-third of the city walls had been blown to pieces by the Holy Night Army's magic cannons and magic.
However, the broken parts have been temporarily filled in by the earth magicians' fortification techniques.
It looks like there are huge patches of soil on the wall.
"Your Excellency, the large pieces of stone will arrive tomorrow. By then, the repair work on the city wall can begin."
Noticing Lei Xiao's gaze, Bai Lao quickly introduced him.
Immediately afterwards, another trace of hesitation appeared on the old white face.
Then he said awkwardly: "To be honest with you, Sir, after an inventory during the day, 50 of the 200 second-order fire magic cannons here have been damaged to varying degrees, including the magic light crystals in them. Look... ”
"It doesn't matter. These battle losses are completely within my expectation and will not affect the promise I just made."
Waving his hand slightly, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "Just take me to see it."
Currently, in Lei Xiao's hands, in addition to the 20 newly acquired magic cannons, there are also 48 ancient magic cannons that need to be repaired, none of which have yet to be upgraded.
Therefore, this loss can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.
As for the magic light crystals, there are still 950 of them, and they have not been damaged.
"Okay, Sir, please go this way. Here are the intact magic cannons, and the damaged magic cannons are over there."
Secretly breathing a sigh of relief, Bai Lao took his steps again.
As he moved forward, he remembered Lei Xiao's indifferent expression just now. Bai Lao couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed secretly in his heart.
The total value of 50 second-order magic cannons is at least 50 million golden dragons. With such a huge number, apart from the royal family, only a handful of top nobles and wealthy families can easily obtain it.
But even so, this young guest didn't even blink.
However, when he remembered that Lei Xiao had taken out 400 second-order magic cannons, Bai Lao was instantly relieved. It turned out that it was just the golden dragon that limited his imagination...
While sighing, Bai Lao's eyes involuntarily fell on Ariel next to Lei Xiao.
At this moment, the old general who had spent his whole life fighting for Leng Yan noticed.
There is clearly a brilliant brilliance in Her Royal Highness the Princess's clear starry eyes. The light is full of hope, which contains the longing for the future and the determination to move forward.
It is naturally self-evident where the source of this light comes from.
Seeing this, Bai Lao's wrinkled old face was obviously moved, and he almost wanted to speak, but in the end he said nothing else.
Next, following Bai Lao's guidance, Lei Xiao first put the 150 intact magic cannons back into his pocket.
Immediately afterwards, they came to the warehouse below the city wall where the damaged magic cannon was stored.
After inspection by Ye Cang and Chao Yan, most of the 50 magic cannons that were riddled with holes had been extremely damaged and there was no need to repair them.
Of course, based on the principle of caution, Lei Xiao still put all these damaged magic cannons into the space bracelet, preparing to deal with them on the way back.
Just when all of this was completed, Lei Xiao's reminder sounded.
After the connection, A Ling's clear voice immediately reached his ears: "Lord, Burt, Ju Bai, Walter and other twelve strong men from the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group have just arrived at the mountain fortress. ! ”
"Very good, we'll be there soon."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
On the other side, Bai Lao was also in the state of receiving magic communications, and he obviously also learned the news.
When the communication ended, the group returned to the mountain fortress.
After that, the mercenaries such as Mr. Bai and Mr. Walter met, needless to say how polite they were.
Seeing that everything was on track, Lei Xiao, Ariel and others said goodbye to Bai Lao and the strong men of the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group, put on their invisibility cloaks again, and galloped towards the territory.
As for the pterosaur knight Sean and others who had been waiting in the nearby mountains, after receiving Lei Xiao's order, they also began to fly towards the territory.
Halfway through, Lei Xiao also found a hidden cave in the mountain.
After the Japanese knotweed completely shattered the 50 broken magic cannons, let Hongye take care of them all with a breath of dragon breath.
Then, after shooting stars and chasing the moon, the outline of Kongqing Town appeared in front of Lei Xiao and his party.
"Okay, except for the pterosaur knight team, everyone else should stop first."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao gently patted the thick and furry wolf's back under him, and ordered the subordinates around him by reciting words.
When all the subordinates gathered around Lei Xiao, Lei Xiao, who was riding on the giant white wolf, nodded to Ariel, Bert and Ju Bai, and said: "In order not to attract the attention of the princes, you guys Let’s go back to Kongqing Town first.”
After a pause, Lei Xiao said again: "Don't relax, starting from tomorrow is when the show begins."
"I obey! Lord, please rest assured!"
Hearing the sound, the three of them saluted together, and then at Lei Xiao's signal, they turned into a shadow and disappeared in front of everyone.
"Okay, let's return to the territory."
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao spoke to the other subordinates.
In a moment, under the hazy dark blue night sky, Lei Xiao and his party appeared in front of the small gate on the west side of the territory.
Since they had already greeted Rogge and Bai Zhi in advance, the city gate was wide open at this time, and the two of them were waiting at the gate with several groups of patrolling soldiers.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord!"
Seeing Lei Xiao's figure, all the subordinates who stayed behind in the territory immediately bowed together to caress their chests and lowered their heads deeply.
"No need to be polite."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao motioned for everyone to disperse and walked towards the direction of the Guardian Defense Agency.
After the battle of attacking and defending the fortress, most of the magic light crystals on Lei Xiao's body were almost exhausted.
The first thing I do when I come back is to recharge these magical batteries.
As soon as he came to the Guardian Defense Agency, Lei Xiao noticed it.
Several large tents have been set up around this giant stone octagonal building.
Inside the tent, magic light flickered, and low chanting could be heard from time to time.
At the same time, there were many magician subordinates wearing magic robes, busy going back and forth.
On the other side, I saw Lei Xiao coming.
The two commanders of the magician squadron, Zhuqi and Finley, immediately ran over and saluted in unison: "See you, Lord!"
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao nodded and said: "How is the construction of the charging array going?"
Due to the limited charging base of the Guardian Defense Agency.
Therefore, in order to charge the magic light crystal more efficiently, it is natural to build a charging array and it is an urgent matter.
"Back to Lord, after these two days of hard work, the charging array has basically been completed. Only some details and the connection with the energy of the miracle building are left, which have not yet been completed."
Zhu Qi, who smiled shyly at Lei Xiao and had a few freckles scattered on her fair face, responded.
"Very good, I will ask Ye Cang and Chaoyan to help tomorrow morning."
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao left behind all the magic light crystals that needed to be charged, and rearranged the Guardian of the Earth and the Guardian of the Sky.
He left the Guardian Defense Agency and walked towards the Lord's Mansion.
Next, it's naturally time to upgrade this fortress attack and defense battle and get lots of loot! (End of chapter)
