Chapter 948 The torn prologue (Part 1)
Lei Xiao had a solemn look on his face, thinking this while continuing to look up attentively.
A stream of magical light flashed in and out, completely covering the entire Castle of Kells, making the entire city look indestructible.
"Your Excellency, as the gateway to the royal capital, Fort Kele needs to face military pressure from both the northern and eastern regions at the same time. Its geographical location is extremely important."
Keen, whose old face was also full of seriousness, took a step forward and said to Lei Xiao: "Especially before the northern border is conquered, Kellburg is a choke point to prevent the further expansion of the Pars Empire."
"During the more than 100 years since the northern border was occupied, the Pars Empire's army came to the Castle of Kells more than ten times in an attempt to destroy the gate leading to the royal capital. However, they all lost their troops and ultimately returned without success. .”
"One of the most important reasons is that the absolute defensive barrier covered by Kyle Castle is exactly the same as the absolute defensive barrier in the Royal Capital. They were both built by His Majesty the Hero King himself. It can be called the Kingdom of Cold Flames. The strongest.”
"In addition, the interior of Kyle Castle is also divided into three areas: the inner city, the middle part and the outer city. Each area has its own independent city wall and moat, which makes the fortress even more solid."
"This is exactly the fact. During the more than 600 years that the Cold Flame Kingdom has lasted, Kel's Castle has never been captured by anyone. Countless opponents who tried to covet it either collapsed under its walls or fell into the sand. Flee in front of it.”
"Therefore, Kell Castle is also known as the city that will never fall in the Kingdom of Cold Flame, which is evident from this."
At this point, Keen took a deep breath slowly and continued to Lei Xiao: "Your Excellency, this is bound to be an arduous battle."
After Keen finished speaking, the other elders of the Phytolacca family also nodded.
"Everyone, I already know everything about Kellburg."
Lei Xiao nodded to the elders and smiled: "It is true that this city has never been captured by anyone, but Your Highness Ariel and I have created impossible miracles, haven't we?"
< br>
"So, today we are both participants in this battle and witnesses of history. This unruly fortress city will eventually surrender under our feet."
Lei Xiao's voice became more passionate, and he looked at the other subordinates around him: "Everyone, as I said before, as long as we work together, we will create a new history with our own hands, and let countless future generations admire our power today for thousands of generations. ! ”
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, both Keen and other elders, as well as the main subordinates, all nodded heavily, with excited expressions on their faces.
Feeling the fiery atmosphere around him, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
Just like what Lei Xiao said, Lei Xiao had already obtained detailed information from Ye Cang's torture about the specific branch areas of the garrison in Kyle Castle.
Among the three walls of Castle Castle, except for the inner city, which is the core, it is garrisoned by the elite troops of the coalition of fallen nobles controlled by the fourth prince alone.
The central part and the outer city were both garrisoned by a coalition of three wealthy families and other nobles, and they appeared at the same time.
In other words, four forces can often be seen on a city wall or in an area. Even if one force makes any changes, it will be immediately noticed by the other three forces.
At this point, the situation is very obvious.
Although the Merchant Army of 25 legions looks extremely large, it is completely divided into the outer city and the central part of Kelburg. In these two extremely vast areas, it is mixed with other 400,000 enemy troops and is difficult to control. Into a rope.
In this case, if one is not careful, a cunning opponent who has noticed the clues will undoubtedly join forces with him.
By then, not only will we lose the initiative, but the leaderless Shanglu family army will most likely be annihilated.
"So, my next action to tear apart the curtain of war will be mainly divided into two steps."
"Needless to say, the first step is to use the secret communication method of Keen and others to completely notify the 25 army commanders of the Phytolacca family."
"The second step is to merge the 25 legions of the Phytolacca family into a few large forces as much as possible, and then launch a surprise attack while the opponent has no reaction to achieve the most perfect effect."
"After the war broke out and the city was in chaos, the merchant army's primary attack target was the many magic towers that powered the absolute defense barrier."
"These magic towers are scattered all over the city, and the absolute defensive barriers of the outer city, the middle city, and the inner city are independent of each other. If everything goes well, I only need to conquer them one by one from the outside to the inside."
< br>
"As soon as the absolute defensive barrier of the outer city is lifted, I can lead the main force into the city to support it. At the same time, Ferroburg's 100,000-strong army, which is ready to attack, can also attack the city from the outside."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao said to the elders of the Shanglu family and the main subordinates: "Okay everyone, because the absolute confinement array in Lion Heart City is still in effect, and the distance is too far, , making it impossible for Lao Si and his group to get the latest news. This is the best time for us to take a preemptive strike.”
"Then, according to the planned plan, Keen and other elders will inform their respective bloodline army commanders first."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, the twelve elders of the Phytolacca family, including Old Thomas, all nodded heavily, with expressions of awe and nervousness on their faces.
You know, due to the absolute defensive barrier, the group cannot enter the city to support them until the barrier is broken.
This means that in the early stages of the war, these merchant army commanders have to deal with everything themselves. It can be said that murderous intentions are everywhere, just like a battle between trapped animals.
After all, the enemy forces in the city are the ferocious Lancaster and Yorkman families, as well as the coalition of fallen nobles, which is a full 15 legions more than ours.
The most important thing is that these legion commanders are all their descendants and close relatives connected by blood. It is indeed a torturous thing to watch one's blood relatives fight against the trapped beasts, but he cannot take action.
"Don't worry, everyone. Although we can't take action directly, I have activated a trump card and will make everything go as smoothly as possible."
Seeing the uneasiness of the elders, Lei Xiao first smiled mysteriously, and then said seriously: "Elders, please remember that our way back is being swallowed up by enemies and darkness. If we don't move forward, everyone will die. .”
"And our actions will light up the path forward for everyone and bring light to this land again."
At this point, Lei Xiao's voice became a little deeper, and he said slowly: "Okay, let's tear off the prelude to this war. We have no retreat."
"As you command, Your Excellency, we will go all out!"
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, the elders concentrated their minds and began to use secret communication methods to contact their respective bloodline army commanders.
This secret communication method unique to the Merchant Army is enough to skillfully penetrate the barriers of the absolute defense barrier and bring the news to the commanders of the Merchant Army who are not yet aware of it.
……
At the same time, after receiving the familiar magic signal, the commanders of the Merchant Army in various places in Kel's Fort were stunned for a moment, and then began to listen calmly.
The generals of the Shanglu family who can serve as army commanders are all leaders in the family. Even if there are generals from other families around them, they do not let the other party notice at all.
However, just when everything on our side was going on quietly.
In an inconspicuous and dilapidated clock tower in the central urban area of Kellburg, an unexpected wave was caused.
In the attic of the highest floor of the clock tower, a group of magicians in blue robes were sitting in front of a huge blue magic circle that was constantly rotating. They all looked serious with their eyes closed and concentrated.
It can be seen from the blood-stained ferocious pterodactyl emblem on the blue robe that these seemingly capable magicians are all from the Lancaster family.
On the other side of the magic circle, a fat Lancaster magician commander was curled up on a soft sofa. He was elegantly holding a steaming black tea cup and sipping it while shaking his head. He looked very uncomfortable. .
Just when the fat magician commander had just finished his tea leisurely, the originally orderly attic of the clock tower suddenly became extremely chaotic.
I saw a dozen magicians who had closed their eyes in concentration, standing up almost at the same time, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"Lord Jeff, we have just intercepted the magical communication from the Shanglu family. Duke Hanshui is dead, and the Shanglu family has fallen into the control of that despicable guest and the fifth princess!"
"Captain Jeff, the new head of the Shangluc family named Lin is ordering the elders to regain control of the Shangluc family garrison in the city!"
"Lord Jeff, the three main armies of the Phytolacca family have received instructions to raid the magic tower and are secretly gathering!"
"Your Majesty, Captain Qi, and the five ordinary legions of the merchant land family have also responded to the call of the new family leader and are convening an emergency war meeting!"
……
"Captain, after gathering intelligence, all 25 merchant armies of Fort Kele have responded to the call of the new family leader and are preparing to cooperate with the 100,000 external enemy troops to capture Fort Kele in one fell swoop!"
After hearing this series of reports, in surprise, a fat nobleman named Jeff jumped out of the sofa with a bang, and said with a gloomy look on his fat face: "As expected, the master of the family expected, then The despicable aliens are really trying to win over the Shanglu family!”
"However, his trick will never succeed. All the commanders of the Phytolacca family have been surrounded by elite killers from our Lancaster and Yorkman families. Since they have made some changes, don't blame me for waiting. ”
The potbellied Jeff waved his hand and ordered: "Immediately report the news to the head of the family and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. As long as all the commanders of the Phytolacca family are killed, the blame will be placed on the despicable alien. Phytolacca The command of the family’s army will fall into the hands of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!”
"In this case, the cunning and despicable alien and the fifth princess will have no choice but to die."
After finishing speaking, Jeff burst out with a big belly and laughed sinisterly: "If you want to cause trouble under the noses of us and the Lancaster Magic Monitoring Brigade, the despicable aliens don't have the ability!"
Along with Jeff's unbridled laughter, many magicians under his command nodded in agreement and were about to contact him.
A sudden figure flew through the skylight of the clock tower at very high speed and landed directly in front of Jeff and the other magicians.
"Who?! Protect this captain!"
Seeing the black shadow so close, Jeff was startled and immediately twisted his fat body and took a few steps back, while a group of surrounding guards quickly came forward with swords, preparing to fight the black shadow.
However, when all the magicians present saw the person coming, they quickly knelt down and said respectfully: "See the master of the family!"
The person who came had white hair and beard, and was also wearing a set of luxurious blue robes. It was none other than Archduke Stone, who was slightly stooped.
"No gifts."
Stone waved his hand casually, walked straight towards Jeff who was surrounded by guards, and said calmly: "Have you intercepted all the magic communications of the Phytolacca family just now?"
"My master's message has been intercepted. Please rest assured when I'm doing this."
Jeff quickly smiled, put away his big belly and caressed his chest and saluted: "I was just about to report the news to the head of the family and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. Unexpectedly, the head of the family actually deigned to be present in person."
"There is no need to report it. This matter is just that the head of the family is testing your monitoring network."
Stone glanced at Jeff and said expressionlessly: "The head of the family appreciates your performance this time. Just continue to monitor. The head of the family will continue to pay attention to your every move."
"I obey! Master!"
After hearing Stone's face-to-face praise, Jeff couldn't help but nodded and bowed.
However, after only a moment, Jeff's fat face froze, and then he said gloomily: "Master of the family, weren't you staying in the secret command post with the fourth prince just now? Why did you suddenly appear here? This is not It’s in line with the master’s style of strategizing.”
"Furthermore, the aura emanating from the owner of the family is obviously different from usual."
When Jeff said this, the magicians and guards around him all responded and began to slowly approach "Stone".
Each of them is a carefully selected elite of the Lancaster family, and they are completely different from ordinary soldiers in terms of knowledge and reactions.
After Jeff’s reminder, everyone present clearly understood.
Since that despicable alien can kill the head of the Shanglu family, then it is not impossible to fake a Lancaster head here!
When the situation was tense, I saw that "Stone" was still calm. A smile of approval appeared on the old face, and he nodded: "Yes, I didn't expect that even this would be seen through by you guys. I, Lancaster, With such elites in the family, it would be easy to kill the princess.”
"It's difficult, is this also a test for the head of the family?"
Just when Jeff and others were filled with surprise and uncertainty, a rapid knock on the door suddenly came from outside the attic of the clock tower. (End of chapter)
