Chapter 774 The two people’s allegiance and surprising news
What came from the other end of the conversation was Orr's rather nervous and awe-inspiring voice: "Lord Qi, my subordinates have just received a report that the armies under the eldest prince and the second prince came out from the cities in other areas. , is heading towards Wangxing City with murderous intent.”
"It's an expected thing. How many troops did the other side send?"
Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath and asked with raised eyebrows.
"Back to Lord, counting the two reinforcements that were retreated by your empty city, the number of each army is around 15 legions, totaling more than 300,000 people!"
There was an obvious tremor in Al's steady voice as he continued: "According to reports from scouts from various places, judging from the flags, not only the four kingdom generals loyal to the eldest prince and the second prince came to the battle together, but also He has gathered many top noble legions who are famous and powerful in Leng Yan! ”
"Thirty legions? That's equivalent to the combat power of more than 30 fifth-level warriors. And behind such a large army, how many fifth-level warriors are secretly preparing to move?"
Just when Lei Xiao's eyes were stern and his brows were frowning even more.
Orr's slightly confused voice came over again: "Lord, there is another thing that makes my subordinates very concerned. Whether it is the power of the eldest prince or the power of the second prince, they are extremely restrained. Although both sides They are working on their own, but there is no conflict at all, which is very different from the usual situation. ”
"I understand. Just wait for me in Wangxing City. I'll be there later."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then stopped talking.
Seeing Lei Xiao's emotional change, the other subordinates present also looked solemnly and looked over, waiting for Lei Xiao's next instructions.
"Senior Gars, it seems that now is no longer the time to continue feeling emotional."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly at the old alchemist, and then said seriously: "The enemy is approaching, a life and death battle is coming, and the time left for us to prepare and respond is already numbered."
"Then let me do my little bit."
I saw Gars kneeling on the ground, bowed deeply to Lei Xiao and said: "My subordinate Gars Bingliu is willing to swear allegiance to the lord to the death!"
"With the joining of senior Gars, I will be even more powerful."
Lei Xiao's eyes were bright, and a fourth-level recruitment order exuding a faint golden light appeared in his fingers.
It didn't take long before a familiar prompt sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Congratulations, the fourth-order nine-star ice magician Gars Bingliu has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】
Before the prompt ended, Lei Xiao had already helped the old alchemist up, who was still in a state of excitement.
At this point, this prestigious human alchemy master has successfully become a member of the territory.
"Although there is a formidable enemy, watching the fresh blood flowing into the territory still makes people excited. This shows that I am becoming stronger all the time."
Lei Xiao was overjoyed and opened Garth's attribute bar.
【Name: Gals】

"Senior Gals, the situation is urgent. Please follow me to Star Star City first. We will discuss other matters later."
After closing the attribute bar, Lei Xiao first nodded to the old alchemist, and then said to Jiang Li: "Let's go to Wangxing City as quickly as possible."
"As you command, Lord."
Jiang Li bowed to accept the order, and drew a light gray six-pointed star in mid-air with her slender fingers, and the group of people disappeared into the cave in an instant.
After that, Lei Xiao and others who passed through Fenglong City quickly arrived at the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion in Wangxing City.
"See you Lord!"
I saw the three legion commanders Orr, Benson and Hod stationed in Star Star City immediately stepped forward and bowed in salute.
Among them, the two direct subordinates, Fanyin City Lord Al and Luolong City Lord Benson, needless to say, naturally followed Lei Xiao's lead.
Huo De, the lord of Gelin City, who had not been subdued by Lei Xiao, had a look of reverence on his face, and at the same time, there was a hint of urgency on his resolute face.
You must know that it was the tall and tall young man in front of him who gave him a set of three pieces of fifth-level knight equipment at the national level. For such a supreme grace, apart from being ruined, what else can he get in return?
It would be great if we could just join the lord's command...
"Before this, I didn't plan to conquer Hod directly. I just asked him to serve under Ariel."
Looking at Hod's eager look, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and thought to himself.
"However, the current situation is extremely tense, and Hodder is one of the indispensable senior generals. I am also prepared to entrust him with important tasks, so I will simply take him under my command. It will also be much easier to contact him."
After making up his mind, a golden fourth-level recruitment order flashed out from Lei Xiao's palm again, and he expressed his thoughts to Huo De.
The latter was naturally overjoyed and immediately knelt down in front of Lei Xiao.
Not long after, a pleasant prompt sounded to Lei Xiao's ears.
[Congratulations, the leader of the fourth-order two-star knights, Hod Falcon Spear, has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】
"In this way, I officially have an additional general under my command."
Lei Xiao lowered his body to help the middle-aged knight city lord up, while opening the opponent's attribute bar.
【Name: Hod】
[Occupation: Knight Leader]
[Level: Level 4, Two Stars]
【Loyalty: 100】
[Skill 1: Falcon Spear Whirlwind "Active" (physical single target attack, additional armor-piercing effect)]

[Skill 4: Sword and Spear Mastery "Passive" (moderately increases damage when using a long sword or lance)]
"Knight leader? It belongs to the high-level profession of ordinary knights, especially the passive skill, which can obviously have a good effect when facing strong enemies."
Lei Xiao closed Hod's attribute bar and nodded with satisfaction.
Then, surrounded by his subordinates, Lei Xiao came to sit on the throne in the hall, directly connected with the subordinates from all over the place, and started an emergency meeting.
"Al, please tell me more about the current situation."
After Lei Xiao confirmed that all the subordinates in various places were in place, he nodded to the Lord Fanyin who was wearing a robe.
"My colleagues, the situation is like this..."
Al touched his chest and saluted, and recounted the latest information he had just received.
After listening to Orr's description, the entire hall fell silent.
Currently, in addition to the weak fighting force of the Lords of the Xiaoshen Regiment, there are only three legions stationed in Wangxing City: Fanyin, Gelin and Luolong. Because the war has just ended, quite a few of them are reserve armies that have been gradually replenished, and the opponent has a whole There are 30 legions!
With such a gap, even if it were simply bombarded with magic cannons, Wangxing City would soon be completely razed to the ground!
What's more, the war has just ended and we are exhausted, but these forces on the other side are all in full swing!
By then, the fortress city Wangxing City as the gateway will be lost. Once the opponent's army marches in, other cities will naturally be defeated one by one.
"Everyone, leaving aside the huge number of opponents for the moment, did you notice a detail in Orr's description just now?"
Lei Xiao took the black tea handed over by Ariel and said with a calm expression and bright eyes.
Even though Lei Xiao had no confidence in his heart, he also understood clearly.
Next, he will surely face an unprecedented and massive fierce battle, which will also determine whether he can continue to survive.
But as a leader, I naturally cannot show any weakness in front of my subordinates.
After all, it is a fact that the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. Under such extremely unfavorable circumstances, if morale falls further, there may be no way to recover.
"Lord, are you saying that the eldest prince and the second prince had nothing to do with each other when they marched?"
On the other end of the conversation, the solemn voice of Rose Marquis came out.
"Yes, as the saying goes, there must be a monster when things go wrong. Not long ago, these two were fighting to the death, but now they are getting along well. This has to be of concern."
Lei Xiao took a sip of black tea and said calmly: "As for the reason, some of the people present must have already thought of it, right?"
"Lord, do you mean that the eldest prince and the second prince may have formed a temporary alliance?"
Benson's brows furrowed involuntarily on his fair face covered with scars.
"It's not very possible, but inevitable."
Lei Xiao gently put down the tea cup in his hand, nodded and said: "The two sent troops at the same time, with the goal of targeting Star City. This has already reached a silent understanding."
"The most important thing is that although the two deliberately kept a little distance in an attempt to confuse us, this actually became evidence of their alliance. After all, neither the eldest prince nor the second prince is the kind of calm person. ”
When Lei Xiao said this, he looked at Ariel who was standing aside and said with a smile: "I must be right, right?"
"Your Lordship is right. Based on my subordinates' understanding of the First and Second Princes, even if one party attempts to temporarily ease the situation, the other party will definitely fight to the death and do everything possible to reduce the other party's vitality. They will never let each other go. Stay safe.”
Ariel nodded heavily and responded respectfully: "Just like what the lord said, the two have obviously reached some kind of agreement, which is why this situation happened."
After finishing her words, Ariel's starry eyes flickered, and she looked at Lei Xiao with a bit more indescribable reverence.
This fifth princess of Leng Yan clearly understands.
It was this young man from another world in front of me who made her grow from a arrogant and unruly princess to a woman who could truly stand alone.
Thinking of this, Ariel seemed to recall something, and quickly looked away at Lei Xiao, her ears turning red.
"So, the eldest prince and the second prince have really formed an alliance?"
An old voice sounded, and Bert's awe-inspiring voice came out from his words: "Forget about everything else, the four kingdom generals alone are enough to make people extremely vigilant..."
At this point, Bert hesitated, apparently fearing that it would further affect morale, and did not continue.
"Old General Bert, there are no outsiders here, it's okay to just say it."
Lei Xiao's gentle and reassuring voice rang out: "If we don't even dare to face our opponent, how can we defeat him?"
"As you command, Lord."
On the other end of the conversation, a deep breath came from the voice, and Bert continued: "Although these four people are representatives of the traditional aristocracy and the new aristocracy, and they often do evil things, in terms of commanding ability and strategy, they are all Worthy of the title of general of the kingdom.”
"According to my subordinates' understanding, these four people each have their own strengths, and their methods are extremely ruthless. Each of them has achieved amazing and proud achievements on the battlefield."
Bert's old voice gradually became solemn and he continued: "Although these four people are unable to mobilize the royal army, I can infer that these four people must have secretly trained a good army-level force with extremely strong strength. Not to be underestimated.”
"What Senior Bert said is absolutely true. You must know that except for national wars, more than four kingdom generals have almost never been dispatched at the same time."
Orange's sassy voice then rang out: "Lord, please rest assured, as the strength of the troops is not much different, both my subordinates and Senior Bert are very confident that they can defeat these guys!"
Although Orange and White were full of momentum, the hall once again fell into a brief silence, and an uneasy atmosphere quietly filled the air.
Everyone understands clearly in their hearts.
Even so, the huge gap in military strength cannot be easily erased, not to mention that the other side is in its prime, while we are exhausted.
Feeling the mood swings of his subordinates, Lei Xiao's face remained calm.
The news of the union of the two princes was indeed the worst situation, and it was somewhat beyond my expectations.
However, I have already considered this point carefully.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao's calm and reassuring voice reached the ears of every subordinate.
"Everyone, it is an indisputable fact that the other side is coming fiercely, but the huge gap in military strength is not irreversible."
"In other words, although this is destined to be an arduous and bloody battle, the spark of victory still exists ahead. As long as we work together, we may be able to let this faint light illuminate the entire earth."

After hearing Lei Xiao's words, everyone present was excited, their eyes lit up, and they all looked over. (End of chapter)
