Chapter 852 Madness after the Prologue (Part 2)
Looking at the enemy soldiers still pouring in like a tide under the smoke-filled city wall, Lei Xiao understood clearly.
The current situation is very clear.
If you let the fire in the backyard go unchecked, causing Wangxing City to be attacked from two sides, then you will definitely die.
Only by extinguishing the flames in the backyard can he regain a glimmer of hope of victory in this war filled with uncertainty.
"Once I disperse my important combat forces to various places, it will be tantamount to starting a life-or-death time race with the opponent."
"If I can quickly quell the troubles and the orc legions in each city, block all the other roads that the opponent has found, and then return here to start a decisive battle with the enemy, there will still be hope for victory."
"But if things are completely opposite, once the opponent takes advantage of the emptiness of Wangxing City and seizes the opportunity to capture this place in advance, then I will naturally be in trouble."
"No matter how I think about it, Wangxing City must not be lost before I come back here!"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately spoke and ordered Bert, who was the reserve team, the descending army and the main army led by Rose Marquis, as well as the five new army groups to march directly into Wangxing City for defense.
As a result, the number of defenders in Wangxing City has reached its strongest defensive strength, the size of 17 legions.
Although there are recruits from 10 legions among them, there is currently no other way. After all, Wangxing City is far away from other cities and there is no time to return reinforcements.
After completing all this, Lei Xiao informed the frontline commanders such as Orr, Hod, Benson, and Jubai of his arrangements through a message, and left Hongye and Erza to assist in the defense.
As a fifth-level strongman, Hong Ye naturally wanted to guard against the sudden attack of his opponent's fifth-level strongman. Although Hongye was not as strong as the other two, he was the dragon incarnation of both magic and martial arts, so he would not be defeated quickly.
Erza and Xiaohuan, on the other hand, transformed into themselves and Ariel respectively, and continued to stay here to boost morale, and used illusions to intimidate the other party at critical moments, or make the other party fall into chaos and kill each other.
At the same time, Lei Xiao also ordered Randall, who was still fine, to lead three great magicians and other elite mercenaries to rush to the surrounding traditional aristocratic cities as quickly as possible to help the local defenders eliminate the chaos.
As for Lei Xiao himself, he led other main subordinates and the half-elf wolf cavalry squadron, the third-level summoner squadron, and some members of the Shunyan squadron who were scouting nearby, and rushed to the aid of the original new noble Zhucheng and Luolong respectively. city.
In addition, as reinforcements, the Caroline Northern Army, the Battle Doll Army, and the Shuiyue Sealed Dragon Army need to pass through the defensive positions stationed by the opponent's 10 legions, so now is not the time to dispatch.
After all, our reinforcements are inferior to the opponent in terms of strength. Not only may they not be able to break through the defense line quickly, but they will also lose the effect of surprise and victory.
"Hongye, Erza, Orr, Hodder, Benson, Jubai, Burt, Rose Marquis, then this place will be left to you. You must guard this place before I solve the trouble in the rear."
Lei Xiao, who had already brought his main subordinates to the main palace of Wangxing City to prepare for teleportation, once again gave instructions by reciting words.
"Don't worry, Lord. Although the other side has two fifth-level powerhouses, four kingdom generals, and more than a dozen other fourth-level powerhouses standing guard, my subordinates and others will fight to the death to coexist with Wangxing City!"
Orr's awe-inspiring decisive voice, mixed with the fierce roar of artillery fire, reached Lei Xiao's ears.
Then, other left-behind subordinates responded with high morale.
"Then I'll leave it all to you, and I will fill you with the wine of victory after everything is over."
After he stopped talking, Lei Xiao nodded heavily.
Next, as long as he can solve all the troubles before Wangxing City is captured by his opponent, everything will turn around.
"Of course, this is just an analysis based on the current situation. I don't know what kind of terrible cards the other party holds, but now I have no way out except to move forward bravely."
Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath, and then ordered Jiang Li: "Okay, let's set off now."
"As you command, Lord."
Jiang Li, who was already ready to go, stroked her chest and saluted, causing the group of people to instantly disappear into the hall of the City Lord's Mansion in Watching Star City.
This time-related race to death officially begins.
……
In the center of Fanyin City, in the garden in front of the city lord's mansion.
The moonlit night filled the air, and the neatly trimmed trees and flowers in the garden were burning fiercely, reflecting a longing scene of people fighting.
On the very stylish stone road, there was already blood flowing and corpses scattered everywhere, indicating that the battle had been going on for some time.
Among these corpses, most were city lord's palace guards wearing standard armor, merchant trade fair guards, and unknown soldiers wearing black leather armor, while a few were strong men from the Brotherhood wearing white masks.
"Father, the outer defense line has been completely breached! Except for Uncle Polly leading the Shadow members and the communication mages who are still holding on in the backyard, most of our troops have been lost!"
In front of the main entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, Kelly's chest was heaving violently. While desperately resisting the siege of the three Brotherhood strong men, she looked at Gale who was also besieged not far away and shouted: "Now is the time. What to do? ”
"Fanyin City is our temporary capital. There are a large number of important civil servants gathered in the castle. We must not let our opponents attack it!"
Gale gritted his teeth and shouted: "Stay here, reinforcements will definitely come!"
The president of the trade association responsible for the defense of Fanyin City was seen with many bloody wounds all over his body. Under the siege of two strong men from the fourth-level senior brotherhood, he, who was only a fourth-level three-star man, was already struggling to survive alone.
Not long ago, without any warning, two fourth-level brotherhood experts and a dozen third-level experts, together with three elite squadrons of black leather-armored soldiers, raided the city lord's palace.
Although there was a new recruit brigade and a trade fair escort squadron here, they were still no match for those elite black-armored soldiers. It didn't take long for their opponents to easily break through the defense line.
As for the new reinforcements from the two brigades outside the city lord's palace, they have also been blocked by rival soldiers who have blocked the surrounding roads, making it impossible to reinforce them in time.
It is conceivable that once the opponent breaks into the city lord's palace, not only the civil servants hiding inside will be slaughtered, but also the will of the new reinforcements will be directly destroyed, causing the entire Fanyin City to collapse in an instant.
And once this temporary capital falls, it will undoubtedly greatly damage the morale of the frontline soldiers.
"Your Excellency, President, I didn't expect that you, who is a descendant of the Shanglu family, would fight to the death for the despicable Lord Kongqing City."
I saw the fourth-level senior brotherhood expert with 00035 printed on his white mask. He swung a sharp sword at Gale and said with a sinister smile: "Let me pierce you now. Maybe I can attack you later." My baby girl, please be gentle, otherwise, hey hey hey..."
"Stop dreaming!"
Gale spit out the thick bloody water in his mouth and said without hesitation: "Unless I die, no one can pass here!"
"You are really a tough guy, so I will help you now!"
No. 35 laughed wildly, and while Gale was avoiding the attack of another Brotherhood strongman, he raised his electric kick and kicked Gale hard on the abdomen.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Gale, who was already bruised and bruised, was kicked out and fell heavily onto the lawn more than ten meters away, dragging a long bloody trail.
"Father!"
Seeing that Gale's life and death were unclear, Kelly was distracted and shouted loudly, but a strong man from the third-level Brotherhood around him saw the right moment and locked him on the spot with the wind binding technique.
At this point, Kelly, as a third-level peak powerhouse, also lost her ability to move in an instant and struggled to the ground.
"Don't kill her. I want to know this little pepper myself."
The man in black robe No. 35 ignored Gale, who was still alive and dead, and walked directly in front of Kelly. He smiled evilly and said, "I have been able to contend with three third-level senior experts for such a long time with my own strength. It's really exciting." I’m interested in you. I wonder how long you can stick with me.”
"Asshole, you won't succeed, that adult will definitely come to save us!"
There was no trace of fear in Kelly's starry eyes, but instead they were full of hope and expectation. She struggled hard and said firmly.
"That lord?"
The eyebrows of the man in black robe No. 35 hidden under the strange mask wrinkled, and then he smiled coldly and said: "Are you referring to the Lord of Kongqing City?"
At this point, there was a hint of joking in the obscene voice of the man in black robe No. 35: "Don't worry, facing our siege army and all the various methods, that guy must be so panicked now that he is so scared that he peed his pants." ?”
"He didn't even have time to change his pants, so how could he have time to save you?"
After finishing speaking, the man in black robe No. 35 and several other strong men from the Brotherhood around him burst out laughing wildly.
That unscrupulous look had completely demonstrated that in their eyes, Lei Xiao was obviously defeated and had no room for improvement.
"Remember, this time both the Lord Kong Qing and the fifth princess will definitely die."
The man in black robe No. 35 unabashedly looked up and down Kelly's slender body, and sneered: "Give up, you are already abandoned!"
"No! That adult will definitely come, and he will never give up on us!"
Feeling the deep chill coming from the other party, Kelly bit her red lips tightly. Although her fair face remained firm, her body still trembled unconsciously.
The man in black robe No. 35 nodded to another fourth-level strongman to give Gale the final blow, and began to slowly approach Kelly.
I saw him licking his chapped lips and saying slyly: "The fifth princess will definitely not be my turn to take action, but I am not empty-handed."
At this point, the big hand of the man in black robe No. 35 was already very close to Kelly.
The other men in black robes looked at all this with great interest, with confident expressions on their faces.
Others will soon deal with the last remnants. The Black Abyss Brotherhood is already the master here. Who can stop them?
At this moment, a change occurred.
Without any warning, with the crisp sound of "click", the hands of the man in black robe No. 35 suddenly twisted and crooked, and the broken bones pierced the skin, causing his wretched face hidden behind the mask to become extremely distorted. got up.
Before he and other powerful men from the Brotherhood around him could react, there was another frightening "click" sound. The man in black robe No. 35, whose strength was at the fourth level and five stars, was directly twisted by an inexplicable powerful force. He hit his neck and fell straight down.
At the same time, another fourth-level Brotherhood man who had just approached Gale was struck by two short blades that appeared out of thin air and pierced his chest simultaneously. He died without even a grunt.
Seeing that the two leading fourth-level strong men were instantly killed on the spot, the other brotherhood strong men suddenly looked frightened and turned around to flee.
However, before they could take a step, the space around them suddenly shattered.
The irresistible squeeze of space caused their panicked faces to distort, and their bodies to be flattened and deformed. A cloud of blood mist burst out one after another, and they fell crookedly like rag bags.
When the last body crashed to the ground, a tall figure and a slender figure appeared in front of Kelly out of thin air.
"Lord Lord! And Sister Jiang Li!"
After seeing clearly that the person coming was Lei Xiao and the half-elf ancestor, Kelly's blood-stained white face was filled with excitement. Lihua said with rain: "Lord, you have really come to save your subordinates!"
"Kelly, are you okay?"
Lei Xiao motioned to Jiang Li to untie the other party, and said with a smile: "It's really hard for you this time."
"For the Lord, why bother?"
Kelly, who was extremely excited, quickly shook her head and responded: "I am willing to give everything for the lord!"
At this moment, two petite and exquisite figures also helped Gale over, one from the left and one from the right. They were Nan Xing and Nan Yue.
"Father!"
Seeing Gale who was still unconscious, Kelly, who had just been untied, immediately went to meet him.
"How's it going?"
Lei Xiao looked at the bruised trading president, frowning and asked.
"Back to the lord, President Gale was not fatally injured, but was paralyzed by his opponent."
Nan Xing gently put Gale aside, bowed and responded: "According to your instructions, I have given President Gale a fourth-level healing potion, and the situation is no longer serious."
"Very good, Kelly, Nanxing, Nanyue, Fanyin City and Gale will be left to you."
While Lei Xiao handed Kelly several fourth-level healing scrolls and some powerful attack magic scrolls, he nodded to the three of them and said: "At all costs, calm down this place as soon as possible."
< br>
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao and Jiang Lei disappeared in an instant without leaving a trace.
"Sister Nanxing, Sister Nanyue, I will take you to support Uncle Polly and other colleagues!"
Seeing that Gale was slowly waking up, Kelly did not hesitate and immediately pulled the twin sisters away from the door of the City Lord's Mansion.
Not long after, with the support of Nanxing Nanyue, the enemies in the city lord's mansion were quickly and completely wiped out, causing peace to return to the place.
However, just when Kelly, Nanxing and Nanyue breathed a sigh of relief and were about to deal with the remaining enemies outside.
A figure exuding a vast aura appeared behind them at some point, quietly raising the sharp blade in his hand. (End of chapter)
