Chapter 870 The whereabouts of the disappeared legion


Chapter 870 The whereabouts of the disappeared legion

The burning battlefield is illuminated by the moonlight, and the broken city walls are filled with smoke.

The power of the spell faded and appeared, and the flames spread crazily across the earth.

As the scorching flames rose, they reflected the corpses lying on the ground, the bright red flowing on the ground, and the ferocious and angry faces.

The fierce collision of swords, the close curses and wails, the wrestling bodies, and the roar of the magic cannon were like four movements, forming a symphony filled with steel and death.

When the front team falls, the back team rises up.

Scenes like this fill every corner of the battlefield, with one side fighting for imprisonment and the other fighting for freedom.

On the city gate tower where people looked longingly, Lei Xiao felt the trembling from the earth while looking at the fierce battle scenes filled with blood around him, and his uneasiness became more obvious.

Just like what Orr introduced.

Compared with the beginning, although the opponent's offensive was gradually increasing, many elite troops were successively invested in launching a fierce and comprehensive offensive against the five-kilometer-long Wangxing City Wall.

However, our defenders were not at a disadvantage due to their advantages in equipment and potions, as well as Erza and Xiao Huan who had been transforming into themselves and Ariel, wandering around to boost morale, and the calm command of the commanders. .

However, although the enemy and we are evenly matched and our losses are significantly less than the opponent's, Lei Xiao clearly understands.

The real deadly storm is coming soon.

Once the strong wind rises, it is the moment that determines life and death.

"The key problem is that I don't know which area will have the storm."

Lei Xiao frowned and began to think secretly.

"If I can detect some clues, I can at least take some precautions, which is much better than being caught off guard and being kicked by the enemy."

"The area of ​​Hope Star City, Luolong City, Mountain Fort Fortress, Territory, and even Kongqing Town is too vast. It is undoubtedly too difficult to judge how the other party will find another way."< br>


Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's brows began to frown even more.

I have to say that I still prefer active offense compared to passive defense.

"Lord, have you noticed anything strange?"

I saw Chao Yan coming up with small steps, blinking his big eyes and saying: "Facing a huge number of heavily armored enemies, they are rushing towards the city wall one after another. It is not uncommon to cause the earth to tremble, but the frequency of this kind of trembling, It should be relatively chaotic..."

"You're right."

After hearing Chaoyan's words, Lei Xiao brought his thoughts back to reality, began to concentrate, and carefully felt the vibrations coming from the soles of his feet.

On a fierce and unusual battlefield, although this kind of tremor is not obvious, for Lei Xiao, whose senses are already different from ordinary people, he can still feel it easily.

"Chaoyan, you mean, are there other places where the tremors are relatively stable?"

Lei Xiao reacted quickly and asked immediately.

Before that, because Lei Xiao had been focusing all his attention on thinking about the other party's next move, he didn't pay attention to such minutiae.

"Yes, Lord."

Chaoyan held up the witch hat on his head, nodded and said: "When I was teleported here just now, the tremors I felt in the City Lord's Mansion were completely different from those here, but relatively regular."
< br>

At this point, Chaoyan tilted his head and curled his lips and said, "Is it because of the long distance that the earth trembles regularly?"

"Impossible. The distance from the city gate to the city lord's palace is only a few kilometers, so it will never have such a big impact."

Theresa, who had been listening carefully, frowned and said: "If this is really the case, there is only one possibility, unless it is..."

"Unless there are two sources of trembling, the trembling Chaoyan felt in the City Lord's Mansion did not come from here."

Lei Xiao took over the conversation and said solemnly: "Let's go back to the city lord's palace to confirm it now!"

After finishing speaking, under Jiang Li's transmission, the group quickly returned to the meeting hall on the first floor of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Lord, this place is indeed completely different from the city wall!"

Huzhang pressed his ears to the ground for a moment and reported to Lei Xiao: "Although the battle ahead has covered up most of the traces, my subordinates can still feel that this regular and unknown tremor seems to come from the ground! ”

"In addition, judging from the increasingly intense sound, the source of this regular tremor is still some distance away from Wangxing City, but it is no longer far away."

Knotweed's voice became more solemn and he added another sentence.

"Is that true? It seems we don't have much time left."

Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and nodded thoughtfully: "At this juncture, this kind of tremor is definitely not groundless. I think I know how the other party will find another way next time."

"Lord, are you saying that the other party is digging a hole underground, trying to cross the city wall and enter the city directly?"

Ariel immediately understood what Lei Xiao meant, blinked her eyes and said in disbelief: "This is too crazy!"

"This is the only reasonable explanation."

Lei Xiao first touched Chao Yan's head as a sign of praise, and then said firmly: "In this way, it is very obvious where the other party's two missing legions are, they are underground!"

"So, when the other party was last supplying supplies in Lute City, they had divided their troops into two groups. One group was marching normally on the ground, while the other group was marching underground?"

Jiang Li blinked her long eyelashes and continued thinking along with Lei Xiao's train of thought: "The large troops marching on the ground are so powerful that they can also serve as cover, making it difficult for the two legions marching underground to be detected. The same is true for the siege, the opponent is using tremors to cover up the tremors!”

"Senior Jiang Lei is right. When our attention is completely focused on the city wall, if these two legions suddenly appear in the city, and they cooperate with the support of the main strong men, such internal and external cooperation will be enough to tip the scales of victory. Let’s get into trouble.”

Ariel frowned and said thoughtfully: "It's really a clever and sinister plan."

"Yes, I have been focusing my thinking on the entire area before, thinking that the other party will still cause trouble in other areas. I did not expect that the other party will directly choose a new path this time to look out for Star City itself."
< br>

Lei Xiao nodded and took a deep breath slowly: "Once the other party's plan succeeds, the consequences will be disastrous."

"But Lord, my subordinates still have something unknown."

Bai Wei, who had just been promoted to the fourth level, gently waved her fluffy snow-white tail and said in confusion: "Lute City is so far away from here. Even if the opponent digs holes and marches, they can't dig so fast. Besides, it's not possible for them to dig holes and march." Let the two legions move forward together.”

"This little sister of the Snow Wolf Tribe, this is actually not a difficult task."

Teresa looked up and down at Bai Wei's pair of erect ears and big tail. She was obviously very interested in this fluffy thing and began to explain.

"As long as there is a fifth-level earth magician who is good at digging, and several fourth-level earth magicians lead the team, it is not impossible to forcibly open a path underground."

Speaking of this, Teresa's expression became solemn again: "In addition, there are several extremely difficult and powerful monsters that can also do this. To a certain extent, these things can Much more difficult to deal with than ordinary strong men.”

"So we must be prepared for the worst."

Lei Xiao took over the conversation and ordered Jiang Li to teleport as quickly as possible to bring back Orr who was commanding on the front line.

"See you Lord!"

Not long after, Al, covered in blood, appeared in front of Lei Xiao.

Of course, although the face of this middle-aged subordinate was darkened by gunpowder smoke, as a flexible wind magician, the blood did not come from himself.

"Al, here's the situation."

Lei Xiao did not hesitate and explained the analysis just now.

"Lord, are you saying that the enemy will attack the city directly from underground?"

After listening to Lei Xiao's concise introduction, Al looked shocked and swallowed involuntarily.

It is conceivable that since the opponent chose this strategy of surprise troops, the two legions dormant underground must be carefully selected elite troops.

In Wangxing City, although the residents have already been properly placed in the rear, they will not be affected.

However, the remaining forces on our side are only 5 new recruits who have never been on the battlefield. As for the other 5, they have already gone to the city wall to provide support.

In this case, not to mention two enemy elite legions, even one can easily defeat our recruit legions scattered throughout the city for defense.

Once there are swords and soldiers in the city, the morale of the city wall that is attacked from both sides will be greatly affected, and the result is self-evident.

Thinking of this, Orr, as the commander-in-chief of Wangxing City, was already nervously sweating profusely and kept wiping the sweat beads off his forehead.

"Fortunately, we have seen through each other's tricks in time."

Lei Xiao first asked Bai Wei to give Orr a cup of warm tea to signal him to calm down, and then asked: "How many open areas are there in the city?"

"Back to Lord, there are two places."

Al drank the tea in one gulp and immediately understood what Lei Xiao meant.

Since the enemy chooses to invade the city, they will not disperse their forces, otherwise they will be easily defeated one by one by our side.

Under this premise, only open areas in the city can facilitate the opponent's rapid assembly and maximize their combat power.

In other words, the location where the other party breaks out of the ground will definitely choose an open area in the city.

"Lord, these two locations are the central square in front of the city lord's palace and the airport storage area in the south of the city."

Orr held the tea cup and said to Lei Xiao, "Especially the storage area in the south of the city. It is not far from the city wall and is weakly defended. It is a good place to break out of the ground. The central square is very close to the city lord's palace. Likewise, It’s an excellent choice for someone to steal your home.”

"Very good, then deploy all five new army legions in the city to these two areas to form an encirclement situation, and send elite scouts to roam the area for reconnaissance. Once traces of the enemy are found, they will immediately greet them with arrows."


Lei Xiao gently snapped his fingers and ordered to Al: "At the same time, I will send the main strong men to sit in and try to nip the opponent in the bud."

"Yes! Lord!"

After receiving Lei Xiao's decisive order, Al, excited and stroking his chest, saluted and immediately went to make arrangements.

Looking at Orr's hurried away figure, Lei Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and asked Theresa next to him: "Your Majesty the Holy Lady, what do you think of my way of coping?"

"As expected of Your Excellency, you are impeccable."

Teresa did not hesitate to praise her, and said bluntly: "I seem to understand a little bit why your Excellency Keqing has created so many proud achievements."

"Your Excellency the Holy Lady, you have given me the award."

Lei Xiao waved his hand, smiled lightly and said: "I cannot afford such praise from Your Majesty the Holy Lady."

"Just words from the bottom of my heart."

Teresa raised her eyebrows, and then said with a solemn face: "Your Excellency, guest, you don't think everything is fine now, do you?"

"Of course not."

Lei Xiao immediately understood what the other party was referring to, and also suppressed his smile.

"Although marching from the underground is a wonderful strategy, which is enough to tip the balance of war, but under the premise that I have solved the orc army and the disputes in various places, the other party will never use this strategy alone."

At this point, Lei Xiao's tone became a little more serious: "In other words, the other party will definitely take other insurance measures."

"Other insurance measures?"

Ariel frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Lord, are you saying that the other party will also choose a two-pronged approach this time?"

"Yes, the threats we are about to face are not just the two disappearing legions and the potential fifth-level powerhouses who have opened underground passages."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then shook his head helplessly and said: "However, we only have the remaining strength to block the path of the disappeared legion. As for the others, we will adapt to the situation when the time comes."

"In short, everyone must be vigilant. This storm will definitely be more violent than the first one."

After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao made some arrangements and deployed the main powerhouses, including Teresa, to the south airport and the central square.

As for Lei Xiao himself, he stayed in the central square of the city, preparing to see what could be able to dig out an underground tunnel for the army to pass so quickly.

Arriving at the central square of the city, Lei Xiao noticed.

Two new recruits led by Tina and Ryan have blocked the empty central square.

Under the reflection of the cold moon, we saw the dark mass of our soldiers with arrows on their bows, and their formation looked quite strict.

These two recruit legions are formed by the backbone of the Blue Rose Knights led by Tina and the backbone of the Broken Blade Knights led by Yu Laian. They are considered to be among the best in terms of combat power among the recruit legions.

Lei Xiao had just greeted the two new army commanders respectively, when the ground beneath his feet shook with stones and suddenly began to tremble violently.

Immediately afterwards, there was an unexpected sharp scream.

An extremely huge and dangerous black shadow roared out of the ground, and the momentum was extremely shocking. (End of chapter)
