Chapter 1163 Dilemma and Determination
Facing this series of sudden changes, Lei Xiao wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and carefully examined the current situation in his heart.
In just a few minutes, not only Thor and the other 30 summoned legions disappeared in the city, but even the 50 legions above and below the city wall evaporated on the spot and lost all traces in an instant.
This undoubtedly means that our 130 legions attacking the city have suddenly been reduced by 80, which is more than half of them, but I don't even have the slightest clue where these 80 legions have gone.
While Lei Xiao was thinking with his brows, Hui Lao, Yoniel and others on the top of the mountain had obviously discovered this sudden change. They couldn't help but widen their eyes and sucked in a breath of cold air.
It has to be said that all this happened too suddenly and strangely. Even these two top experts who stood at the top of the human race did not find any clues at all.
However, although it is not known how the Temple of Light did it, it is certain that the young Holy Lion Prince is obviously in huge trouble.
"I originally thought that after the Holy Lion Prince cracked the deadly illusion magic circle, it was a foregone conclusion that he would capture Huangyao City, but I didn't expect that the Temple of Light would do this again."
Hui Lao was surprised in his heart, and frowned at the old alchemist: "Old guy, if it were you, what would you do now?"
"What a tough question."
Yoniel narrowed his old eyes slightly, stroking his gray beard and said: "Everything is still unclear at present, but what is certain is that this must be the method of the Temple of Light. If you continue to blindly enter the city, the result will be the same, but Just throw yourself into a trap.”
"Old guy, do you mean to give up on the soldiers who fell into the trap for the time being and choose to retreat and think about it in the long term?"
Hui Lao raised his eyelids and asked: "Since the other side has swallowed up most of the army, do you think the other side will let you leave with the remaining defeated generals?"
"I didn't say that I wanted to retreat, I just said that entering the city was not the best option."
Yoniel looked like he was boasting and staring, and asked: "Old guy, you are very calculated. Let me express my opinion first. Then I ask you, if it were you, what would you do next? ”
"I just haven't thought about it yet, so I'm just asking you."
Hui Lao shrugged, raised his eyebrows and said: "It seems that you are nothing more than that, old guy."
"Old guy, haven't you come up with a good idea? You still have the nerve to blame me."
Yoniel rolled his eyes at Hui Lao and frowned tightly.
After hearing what the two said, Diana on the side blinked her long eyelashes, and a look of solemnity appeared on her fair face.
Even the leaders of the two neutral organizations did not have any countermeasures. From this, it is not difficult to see that the Holy Lion Prince was obviously in a dilemma.
While feeling solemn in her heart, a little curiosity appeared on Diana's cheeks.
She wanted to take a good look at what choices the Holy Lion Prince from another world could make when faced with such a strange situation.
While the atmosphere on the top of the mountain was somewhat solemn, the atmosphere at Lei Xiao's place outside the city was already extremely solemn.
I saw that Catherine, Louise and other vampire generals had gathered again, all looking sad.
Through the latest news summary, Lei Xiao learned more.
In addition to the first batch of 30 main legions and 21 fifth-level strong men who disappeared inexplicably, among the second batch of 50 legions that disappeared inexplicably, the White Knight, Nolan, Prince Valentin of the Spirit Staff, and Paladin Commander Jerry The fifth-level powerhouses such as Germany and several kingdom generals also lost their traces, leaving no clues.
Lei Xiao looked around. Among the main powerhouses and generals around him, only three fifth-level subordinates, Jiang Li, Hu Zhan, and Hong Ye, Scarlet Queen Catherine, Louise, and Bert who had just come off the "Fortress" were left. , two kingdom generals, Orange and Bai, and several fourth-level subordinates.
"Hey, human prince, what should we do next?"
Louise's fair little face was full of urgency, and she frowned at Lei Xiao and asked, "You should think of a solution quickly."
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao first patted Louise's shoulder gently, signaling the other party not to be anxious.
Then Lei Xiao calmed down and said: "Although it is still unclear where our 80 missing legions have gone and what methods the other party used to do it, what is certain is that within Huangyao City, The residents and the opponent’s army must have disappeared through this method.”
"This means that this method itself has no lethality. Whether it is the disappeared opponent or our side, it should have just been transferred to a certain place."
Lei Xiao carefully examined the current situation and continued: "No matter where we go and what kind of crisis we face, our soldiers will never surrender. This means that there must still be a glimmer of hope."
"This is their hope, and it is also our hope. As long as hope remains, the flame of life will not go out."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.
Feeling relieved in her heart, Catherine cheered up and said with doubts on her face: "Then what method did the other party use to make the army disappear? Is there still a hidden barrier area here?"
< br>
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao first looked at Jiang Li, then shook his head helplessly and said: "Unfortunately, Your Majesty, there are no traces of the barrier area here, and when the army disappeared, there was no sound. There is no doubt about the signs of spatial fluctuations.”
Just as Lei Xiao said, when Sol and others disappeared inexplicably, Lei Xiao had already ordered Jiang Li, who had returned to the fifth level peak, to detect all possible spatial fluctuations.
However, until the changes occurred closer to the city wall, Jiang Li did not detect any traces of spatial fluctuations.
Furthermore, no matter how powerful the space system expert is, it is impossible to open such a vast entrance to the void space and teleport hundreds of thousands of troops instantly.
To put it bluntly, even if someone could open such a huge entrance to the void space, it would be impossible not to leave any traces.
"There is no sign of space fluctuations? How did the army disappear?"
Catherine's face was filled with disbelief, and she could hardly believe her ears.
"This is exactly what is difficult to explain at the moment."
Lei Xiao froze his eyebrows, looked at the surrounding Phantom Legion, and continued: "At the same time, under the vigilance of the Phantom Legion, we can also rule out the possibility that illusion has covered everything up."
"It's neither illusion nor teleportation? Then where did our soldiers go?"
Louise stamped her feet, looking extremely crazy: "Could it be possible that the other party would wait for me to use the vampire's specialty to atomize and directly transfer the soldiers into the space gap?"
"Lord True Ancestor, this is absolutely impossible. Don't forget that the opponent disappeared first in the beginning. Even our vampires cannot survive in the gap between space, let alone those enemy soldiers and ordinary residents?"
Catherine immediately rejected Louise's idea, shook her head slightly and said: "Furthermore, the gap space has strong repulsion, and no living body can be passively transported into it, otherwise we vampires will just throw the enemy into the gap in the space." , isn’t everything going to be fine? ”
However, just as Catherine finished her words, Jiang Li beside her brightened up and blurted out to Lei Xiao: "Lord, my subordinates know the other party's methods!"
Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao immediately became energetic and nodded to indicate to the other party to continue speaking.
"Lord, the opponent used a transfer technique instead of a teleportation technique, so there was no trace of energy fluctuations left behind!"
Jiang Li looked suddenly enlightened and began to explain.
"Teleportation, as the name suggests, is when the caster opens a channel between the void space and the real space, using the void space that is completely different from the real space as a springboard to achieve the purpose of instant movement."
"The moment the void space channel is opened, due to the suction of the void space and the self-healing of the real space, a large number of abnormal space fluctuations will occur. This is the key to my subordinate's detection!"
"Compared with the medium and long-distance teleportation technique, which is mainly used, the transfer technique is completely different. It can only be used for short-distance teleportation, and does not need to open the void space, just open the space gap."
< br>
After hearing what Jiang Lei said, Lei Xiao nodded suddenly and said thoughtfully: "I understand, it is precisely because the transfer technique does not need to open the void space, so it will not send out space fluctuations, right?"
< br>
"Lord, it's not that it won't be emitted at all, but compared to teleportation, the space fluctuations emitted by transfer are extremely weak and easier to cover up."
Jiang Lei nodded to Lei Xiao and responded: "Since the other party is able to perform such a large-scale transfer technique, it is not surprising that it can cover up the spatial fluctuations."
"So that's it. I didn't expect that there are still people who can teleport short distances through the gaps in space!"
Louise's starry eyes lit up, and she suddenly said: "If this is the case, it means that our army must still be not far from Huangyao City. We only need to find the location of the army around us, and then go to support. Everything will be done." It will be solved naturally!”
"Things are not that simple. There are no other cities or places to hide the army around Huangyao City. Moreover, all the missing armies have lost contact and cannot make contact. I am afraid they are not around us."
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then asked: "Jiang Li, can you find the specific location of our missing army by tracking the clues of the opponent's transfer technique?"
"Back to Lord, I can't do it. Transfer is a long-lost ancient spell. I just heard the teacher mention it. Compared with teleportation, transfer can move on a larger scale."
Jiang Li shook her head helplessly and responded: "However, just as Her Majesty the Scarlet Queen said, the space gap has a strong repelling effect on living bodies, far more than the void space that can swallow everything, so my subordinates If you can’t use the transfer technique, you can’t track it.”
"I didn't expect that the other party used a long-lost spell."
Catherine frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked: "Your Excellency Jiang Li, are you able to track the location of our disappearing army through teleportation?"
"To be honest with Her Majesty the Queen, the lord and I have already tried it from the beginning."
Jiang Li nodded to Catherine and responded: "The lord has just mentioned that the disappearing army cannot appear around us because there are a large number of our eyes and ears all around, including those high in the sky, plus the transfer There is no doubt that the movement range of the technique is limited.”
"Since it's not around, Lord Jiang Li, do you mean it's deep underground in Huangyao City?"
Catherine reacted immediately, her starry eyes lit up and she said, "Is it possible to open a space tunnel to send us directly to the depths of the earth?"
"The lord has just ordered me to try, but I still can't do it."
Jiang Li frowned, shook her head, and responded: "I'm afraid the other party has used some special method to shield the underground space so that outsiders cannot teleport directly in."
After Jiang Li finished speaking, everyone frowned again, making the atmosphere solemn again.
Although we already know the other party's methods, we still can't do anything.
"At least we know that the disappearing army must be deep underground in Huangyao City."
Lei Xiao had obviously recovered from his surprise and confusion, and smiled: "It's not like you got nothing, is it?"
"Your Highness, have you thought about what to do?"
Looking at Lei Xiao's calm face, Catherine asked immediately.
"The disappeared Leng Yan soldiers followed me all the way to this point. Some veterans have been with me even since Kongqing Town, fighting side by side with me in the darkness, and fighting with me in bloody battles. Welcome the dawn and make great achievements for me.”
Lei Xiao's eyes were piercing and he said solemnly: "Since they have been trapped deep underground by their opponents, I will not ignore them. I will bring them all back, even if it requires paying a huge price." No matter what, because we are already inseparable.”
At this point, Lei Xiao smiled faintly at Catherine and said: "Since we can't go deep underground by ourselves, can't we just go through the other party's transfer circle?"
"Your Highness, don't you know that there are tigers in the mountains, so you prefer to go to the tiger mountains? Once you make a mistake, everything will be over!"
Catherine was stunned for a moment, then said with surprise on her face: "You are the opponent's number one target. Once you step into Huangyao City, you will surely fall into the trap carefully laid by the opponent. This is simply a trap for yourself!"
"So what? My soldiers deserve what I do and are looking forward to my rescue. Naturally, I will not let any of them down."
Lei Xiao still maintained his smile and responded: "Moreover, my trump cards are no longer what they used to be. Even if the opponent sets up a dragnet, it depends on whether they have the ability to trap me." (This chapter) End)
