Chapter 972 The second time to hide the truth
Wails were heard all over the block where the fire was raging. Phytolacca soldiers covered in flames were seen running and twisting in the scorching heat. Melted armor and weapons kept falling to the ground, making the whole scene extremely chaotic.
The giant fireballs that continued to explode among the soldiers instantly devoured the panicked soldiers, leaving only thick black smoke that smelled of burnt smoke, still rising into the moonlight.
Amidst the continuous violent explosions, the entire block turned into an endless sea of fire, and the surrounding buildings that were affected by the explosions collapsed completely blocked all escape routes.
The flames like a bloodthirsty demon ignited everything, causing this unprepared legion to be quickly wiped out with casualties, leaving no room for escape.
"Hahaha, this is the fate of following that despicable alien scum!"
The deadly flames that kept flashing reflected the ferocious and playful face of the fourth prince.
Looking at the Phytolacca soldiers who quickly fell into the fire, not only the fourth prince, but also Stone and Kent had mocking expressions on their faces.
This is just part of the trap they laid. As long as this merchant army regiment is wiped out, other merchant army regiments that are preparing to break out will also be frightened and their morale will be greatly reduced.
By then, even if the despicable scum from another world has three heads and six arms, it will not be able to save these defeated soldiers.
"As expected of Qing Stone, what if the despicable alien scum can be assisted by illusion?"
The fourth prince's eyes wandered away from the scorching death place, and fell on the rickety body of the head of the Lancaster family. He nodded with satisfaction and said: "We destroyed this legion effortlessly. , that despicable alien scum must be furious now.”
"Haha, your highness has given you the compliment. These are just trivial tricks."
Stone gently stroked his gray beard, with a look of disdain on his wrinkled old face, and said calmly: "In the final analysis, that despicable alien scum can only play some tricks, and the glass vase princess even displays one. If I had met the old minister earlier, , the old minister has long taught them how to behave.”
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, in front of real nobles and wealthy families like us, the despicable alien and his soldiers will eventually be vulnerable."
Kent also nodded indifferently. Although the Lancaster family had the upper hand this time, the Yorkman family's other methods were not less generous, but they had not been revealed yet.
"With the hard work of the two of you, my prince's quest for the throne will be just around the corner!"
With a proud expression on his face, the fourth prince once again focused his gaze on the scorching streets.
Under the raging raging magic flames, the entire block has gradually returned to silence, or in other words, everything has been burned to ashes, leaving only patches of charred blackness.
"Haha, everything is done. It's the turn of the remaining merchant army to be defeated. These trashes, led by that despicable alien scum, actually dare to go against the mighty master of my Lancaster family. They simply can't live. Impatient.”
Stone glanced at the anxiety on the ground and sneered disdainfully, with a joking look on his face: "You know, our Lancaster family has killed many alien lords who suddenly came, and this despicable alien is no different. A scumbag in the world.”
After finishing speaking, Stone shook off the ashes that fell on his gorgeous robe. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, his muddy old eyes suddenly widened.
He was surprised to find that in a corner of the block, among a pile of gradually extinguishing embers, a very familiar broken battle flag was revealed. What was depicted on it was a ferocious pterosaur that covered the sky and the sun!
"Isn't this the battle flag of my Lancaster family? Why does it appear here?"
Stone's bloodshot and cloudy eyes were almost protruding from his sockets, staring at the broken battle flag.
Then, he noticed further.
The standard equipment of the Phytolacca family on the soldiers who were like charcoal, unexpectedly, at some point, all became the standard equipment of his Lancaster family!
Looking at the familiar yet strange strange sight in front of him, before Stone could react, Aubrey's surprised report suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Your Majesty, my family, a legion that besieged the defeated merchant army not long ago suddenly disappeared from the battlefield. It is suspected that they were replaced by the opponent's phantom legion. However, the real legion of our tribe has lost contact and its current whereabouts Unknown!”
After hearing Aubrey's report, Stone reacted instantly. The joking and pride on his old face completely disappeared, replaced by uncontrollable anger.
At this point, the situation is self-evident.
It turns out that what he deliberately used the magic trap to kill was not the merchant army regiment that was eager to break out, but the Lancaster family regiment that was loyal to him!
"After a long period of trouble, I actually personally destroyed a legion of my Lancaster family?!"
Just when Stone's wrinkled old face was filled with disbelief and anger.
The fourth prince and Kent also soon noticed the strangeness and cast their surprised eyes over.
It's just that the former's eyes are full of puzzlement and confusion, while the latter's surprise also reveals a hint of schadenfreude.
"Qing Stone, what is going on?"
The fourth prince looked at the corpses of Lancaster soldiers that were still smoking black in surprise, and the disbelief in his brown eyes became more and more obvious.
"Your Highness, it seems that these are all tricks of the despicable alien scum!"
Stone gritted his teeth and said slowly with a gloomy face: "Although I guessed that the despicable guest scumbag would mix the real army with the phantom army, I never expected that the other party would disguise my own army like that. What the Merchant Army Corps looks like!”
"But how did that guy do it?!"
The fourth prince didn't even have time to get angry, his dull face was still full of confusion.
"After creating so many illusory legions, how could the other side still have the energy to confuse an entire legion of ours and disguise it with illusions? Even a fifth-level peak level illusionist cannot do this! ”
Just as the Fourth Prince and his group were in trouble again.
All this was naturally seen by Lei Xiao and his group on the other side of the battlefield.
"Your Excellency, Guest Minister, is really good at predicting things. That old Stone actually personally destroyed a Lancastrian army under his command. I guess that sinister old guy must be very angry to death, right?"
I saw Ai Wen's old face full of excitement and reverence. He nodded to Lei Xiao and said, "If it weren't for Your Excellency Ke Qing's deployment, our breakout legion as the vanguard would have been destroyed twice."
After finishing speaking, Ai Wen's old face showed a trace of lingering fear again.
You know, Andy, the commander of the breakout legion, is Ivan's only son. He has been carefully cultivated and cared for since he was a child.
If there was really something wrong with him, I am afraid that the elder of the merchant family would have fainted immediately and would never get up again.
In other words, Lei Xiao's series of deployments undoubtedly saved Andy's life twice!
Thinking of this, this neutral elder who once dared to jump left and right even in the face of cold water, had any dissatisfaction with Lei Xiao, and wished he could not kneel at Lei Xiao's feet, in order to swear his loyalty and loyalty. gratitude.
"Elder Aiwen praises you, I just took some precautions for a rainy day."
Lei Xiao nodded to the excited elder and said with a faint smile: "Being able to save our army from danger again is like killing two birds with one stone."
Just like what Lei Xiao said, the reason why he made such an arrangement was to take advantage of the chaos to confuse and transform an entire Lancaster army into the appearance of our army when the opponent withdrew from the front. The purpose is to confuse the public and wait for an opportunity to make opponents kill each other.
After all, Lei Xiao was already keenly aware of the clues when his opponent "inadvertently" revealed a flaw and his defense collapsed.
Furthermore, at the first opportunity, he notified the Merchant Army Regiment, which was preparing to forcefully break through, not to act rashly, and made an illusion of a reckless breakout to prevent the opponent from playing tricks.
In the end, the phantom army charging at the front fell into the opponent's magic trap and saved a life for our soldiers. This was the first time the magic trap was detonated.
Then, Lei Xiao decisively led the disguised Lancaster Army to take the lead to see if the opponent would score twice. While trying to find a way to see through the cover of the Phantom Army, he continued to ambush us with traps.
After all, with the lessons learned from the beginning, the other party may not sit still and wait for death.
Sure enough, the other party successfully let go of the phantom army at the front, and then poured a series of deadly magic traps on their own people.
"It is not difficult to see from this that the other party can only judge the difference between the phantom army and the real army, but cannot judge whether the real army is disguised by illusion."
"In other words, the opponent still can't accurately see through our illusion. They just used some method similar to detecting breath."
"In any case, this can be regarded as another kind of cannibalism. It is not in vain. It not only consumes the opponent's magic trap, but also prevents our army from falling into the trap."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became stronger.
Just like what Elder Aiwen said just now, I am afraid that the fourth prince and his gang must have been so surprised that they could not shut up, or simply become furious, right?
After all, this is the second time that I have concealed the truth under their noses, but the first time was that our soldiers were disguised as the enemy, and this time it was the other way around.
"The most important thing is that as long as I continue to destroy the surrounding illusion interference magic towers, the illusion will continue to work until the other party finds a new way to crack it."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and thought in his heart.
Of course, all this is the credit of Xiao Huan and other illusionists.
However, with Xiao Huan's current ability, it is naturally impossible to confuse an entire huge Lancaster army while transforming several phantom legions.
So according to his own order, Xiao Huan just disguised the Lancaster Army with illusion magic, and transformed a fake Lancaster Phantom Army to replace the opponent.
Erza, Xiaoya, and Mia respectively confused the commander of the legion, transformed into a fake stone, and confused the other party's liaison officer.
"According to fake Stone's explanation, this is a special method deployed by him to allow them to sneak into the camp of the Merchant Army Regiment and wait for an opportunity to launch a sudden attack. Therefore, although there are illusions of the Merchant Army Regiment before and after, this Lancaster Regiment The others were not suspicious.”
"In addition, the commander and liaison officer have been confused by us, and have blocked the other party's brain and ears, so naturally everything is foolproof."
"As for the illusion detection scroll thrown by the fourth child, in fact, if you look carefully, you may be able to find some clues, but at that time, his attention was focused on distinguishing whether this legion really existed, and he did not find that it had been replaced. It can be regarded as A little bit of luck on our part.”
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao brought his thoughts back to reality.
Then again, although he hid all the merchant army regiments that were surrounded, they were extremely difficult to identify.
But our five legions were trapped in a tight siege, but nothing changed.
After being defeated twice in a row, the opponent was so angry that he would definitely use other killer moves next.
In order to deal with the opponent's new and angry tactics, his next actions must be divided into two parts.
The first is to take advantage of the situation and protect the safety of our besieged army to the greatest extent.
The second is to find a way to successfully reunite the besieged legion with other rushing legions.
Only by doing this can we maximize our morale and win this war in one go.
On the other hand, if the other side annihilates our besieged army at all costs, it will be very difficult for us to stand up again.
"In other words, the current overall battle situation in Fort Kelley has fallen into a state of anxiety."
"And the final success or failure will all fall on these besieged legions. I guess the other side should be deploying top-level combat power soon, right? That is the real moment that determines victory or defeat."
Lei Xiao's eyes were piercing, and he immediately nodded to the subordinates and elders beside him, and the group of people disappeared into the darkness and disappeared in an instant.
……
"That despicable alien scum actually played tricks on us again and again, and used the same method!"
After carefully analyzing the ins and outs of the matter, the fourth prince's face showed murderous intent, and he said solemnly: "I no longer want to be entangled with that guy like this, why not just send out top combat forces and kill these defeated soldiers in one go! ”
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. If we forcefully move out, we will play into the opponent's hands."
Kent rubbed his chest and saluted the fourth prince, and suggested: "Anger will only blind our eyes and will not help us win the war."
"What Mr. Kent said is absolutely true. This prince is a little reckless."
The fourth prince quickly regained his composure and asked the head of the Yorkman family: "Mr. Kent, are you sure you can annihilate these unsightly remnants of defeated generals?"
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I have just said that I have countless ways to easily destroy them."
Kent looked confident, first glanced at Stone, who still looked gloomy, and then said with a stern smile: "Your Highness, it depends on your Majesty. No matter how many phantom legions the despicable alien scum creates this time, Those remaining defeated generals will surely die!" (End of Chapter)
