Chapter 473： cliff edge

Popular recommendation:

Noticing the strangeness at the foot of the mountain, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a curious look on his face, then his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked down in the direction of the thick smoke.

Lei Xiao noticed wherever he could see.

The black smoke that kept rolling upwards came from not far ahead, behind a mountain peak, and it was impossible to see what happened.

After all, the location where everyone is located is a mixed area of ​​mountains and hills. The terrain is extremely complex and belongs to the edge of the border area.

"Could it be that the Holy Night Army has begun to attack the city?"

Seeing this, Chaoyan blinked her iconic big eyes, and a slightly nervous and curious look appeared on her small face.

"The mountain fortress and the two attached small fortresses are not in that direction, but farther ahead."

Shaking her head at Chaoyan, Lin Dai frowned and said thoughtfully: "According to the latest information, under the constant pressure of the Holy Night Army, the Leng Yan Army, who was at an absolute disadvantage, evacuated very hastily. , lost a lot of land and local residents."

Having said this, Lin shook her head helplessly, and then said: "For example, the area we are in, originally belonged to Leng Yan, but now it is under the control of Holy Night."

"So, the only people who are still on this land are the unarmed Leng Yan residents and the fully armed Holy Night Army?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

Recalling carefully, when we first came to the border battlefield, we first went to a border town called Yaxiang Town.

"At that time, that holy night town was not less ravaged by the flames of war swept by the cold flames, especially the scene of thick smoke and crying, I still remember it fresh."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao curled his lips slightly, and continued to say in his heart: "And now, although the battle situation has completely reversed, the residents of Leng Yan's side who did not have time to retreat may not be much different from that at the time."

"Could it be that the abominable Holy Night Army is doing evil in the land of my cold flames?"

On the other side, on Ariel's fair face, her eyebrows stood upright, full of anger, and then she hurriedly said to Lei Xiao, "It's from another world, come with me to have a look!"

"Dear Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess, have you forgotten the third chapter of our contract so soon?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao turned his head to the side and said lightly, "When do I need to obey your orders?"

"But……"

Seeing Ariel's eager expression, it suddenly dimmed a bit, and then whispered: "As the fifth princess of Leng Yan, I naturally do what I say and will not be ashamed of the royal family."

"It's good to know."

With a slight smile, Lei Xiao immediately said sternly: "Okay, everyone put on the invisibility cloak, let's go and have a look."

"Follow your orders! Lord Lord!"

Immediately afterwards, all the servants bowed in unison and said in unison.

On the other side, Ariel's fair face suddenly showed a hint of joy, and she also nodded.

In this way, Lei Xiao, who stepped on the white giant wolf again, followed the winding mountain road all the way forward, and it didn't take long before he came to the back of the mountain with thick smoke.

When the vision in front of him re-opened, Lei Xiao noticed.

At this moment, what caught his eye was a small town built on a mountain.

At first glance, in the small town, there are low wooden houses standing everywhere, connected by country roads.

Around the town, there are orchards and a wheat field, which is very idyllic.

In addition, there is a trickling mountain stream running through the middle of the town, which adds a fresh and natural atmosphere to the land.

However, due to the distance between our group and the town, and the black mist lingering in front of them, it was not very real to see.

After a while, when Lei Xiao and others got closer, they saw another completely different scene.

In the small town, soldiers in blue-patterned armor were scattered. Many houses were severely damaged, and the orchards and wheat fields were even worse.

And the thick smoke I saw just now came from the burning barn and barn at the entrance of the town.

"It really is the Holy Night Army!"

Seeing this, a touch of anger flooded Ariel's delicate cheeks, and she saw her pink fist clenched again, with a frowning appearance: "These hateful guys are so rampant in my cold flames. on the land!"

However, Ariel's fists, after clenching for a moment, drooped again unconsciously.

At this time, she clearly understood in her heart.

With her current strength, even if she could wipe out all the small Holy Night Army here.

However, nothing can really change.

Realizing this, a strong sense of powerlessness came to her mind immediately.

"There are no screams in the town, and the Holy Night soldiers are relatively lazy. It seems that the residents here have already evacuated in advance."

On the other side, I saw Lin standing on a dirt slope. After observing for a while, she said, "The Holy Night Army here seems to be just trying to attract the attention of Leng Yanjun."

"Very good."

Hearing this, Ariel couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said with joy, "Who said that the residents of Leng Yan didn't evacuate in time..."

However, her voice has not yet fallen.

At the other end of the forest in the distance, a series of helpless screams were suddenly heard one after another.

"Lord Lord, there are quite a few auras moving in that area, about the size of two squadrons."

At this moment, the rough voice of the knotweed immediately rang in Lei Xiao's ears: "Also, just in this area near us, the small forces moving in total exceeded 2,000 people, the third-tier powerhouse. The number is also more than a dozen."

"Yes, these breaths are distributed everywhere, covering almost the entire area, as if searching for something."

Immediately afterwards, Hong Ye's crisp sound also entered Lei Xiao's ears.

"Screams of helplessness, coupled with extensive search operations..."

Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao suddenly said: "It seems that the residents here probably did not retreat to the back of the fortress in time, but fled to the nearby forest."

"What the lord said is very true."

Pushing the golden eyes on the bridge of his nose, Ye Cang agreed: "If you think about it, the reason why the Holy Night Army set it on fire was not to attract Leng Yanjun, but to attract local residents hiding nearby."

"So it is."

On the other side, on Lin Sa's full face, there was a look of sudden realization: "The Holy Night Army wants to use the local residents as bargaining chips, in order to induce the Leng Yan Army who can't stand in the fortress to dispatch! "

"What a vicious calculation!"

Hearing this, Ariel, who had just calmed down a little bit, became excited again, and immediately said: "You must teach these guys a good lesson!"

Having said that, Ariel curled her lips helplessly, looked at Lei Xiao again, and said tentatively, "It's from another world, what do you think?"

"You, the fifth princess of Leng Yan, have finished speaking, what else can I say?"

Slightly pouted, Lei Xiao nodded to the rest of the subordinates and said, "Okay, let's go to the place where the screams came from and have a look first."

At present, the Holy Night Army has an absolute advantage in occupying the border battlefield area.

Therefore, although Lei Xiao did not think that the Leng Yanjun would be led out of the hole because of the calculation of the Holy Night Army.

However, if you can eliminate some of the powerhouses of the Holy Night Army by the way, it will undoubtedly be able to dampen the morale of the Holy Night Army to a certain extent.

The most important thing is that if one's own side takes a strong shot and shows a strong combat power, it will also make the other side feel apprehensive about the next action to a considerable extent.

After all, what we need now is not to completely eliminate one party, but to let the strengths of both sides increase and decrease, and return to balance.

In this way, the effect of mutual restraint can be achieved, so that one's own side can better carry out the next action.

Just as Lei Xiao was thinking, he was accompanied by a light movement of "rustle".

The group of their own has already passed through a forest at the foot of the mountain at high speed, and came to the place where the screams came from just now.

I saw on the edge of a cliff, a pair of young girls about eleven or twelve years old, standing there helplessly, trembling all over.

Judging from their thin bodies, sallow faces, and dirty clothes, it was obvious that they had struggled to survive outside for a while.

Not far from the two of them, there were several teams of Holy Night Army soldiers in light armor. The sharp blades in their hands reflected a biting cold light in the sunlight.

For a time, there was undoubtedly a stark contrast between the forty or fifty heavily armed soldiers and the two thin children with bare hands.

"How are you two Leng Yan little brats, have you made up your mind?"

At this time, I saw the leader of the Holy Night Soldier, who jokingly shook the sharp battle axe in his hand, and then said with a gloomy expression: "Either tell me where the others are hiding, or let me die here together. !"

"Stop dreaming! We won't say anything!"

On the other side, the older boy, who seemed to be a little older, stood in front of the girl despite his fear, and summoned his courage, "Lengyan people are fearless, don't waste your words!"

Speaking of which, the girl who was guarded by the teenager also whispered, trembling all over, "Victory will definitely belong to Leng Yan, our soldiers of Leng Yan are the most powerful warriors!"

Hearing this, the leader of the Holy Night Soldier was stunned for a while, and then followed the other Holy Night Soldiers around and laughed, as if standing in front of him were just two ridiculous clowns.

After a while, the captain of the Holy Night Soldier finally stopped smiling, then looked at the two with great interest, and joked: "Do you still expect someone to save you?

The most powerful warrior in your mouth has already turned into a tortoise, hiding in the fortress and dare not come out! "

"Hey, the captain is right, they are two naive little bastards!"

On the other side, a thin Holy Night soldier, playing with the long sword in his hand, echoed: "Don't say they are their soldiers, even the few foolish princes of the Lengyan royal family are still biting dogs. , they had a lot of fun fighting each other!"

"Yeah yeah, not to mention that old confused king who doesn't know if he's dead!"

After the words were finished, the soldiers of the Holy Night burst into laughter again.

"You are talking nonsense!"

Hearing the sound, the young man calmed down and tried his best to make himself look less messy, and then retorted: "My mother once said that our king, our prince, and our princess are all Our protector! They will surely come to save us!"

"That's right, they are just busy right now, they will definitely come to save us!" The **** the side shouted with all her strength.

Hearing this, Lei Xiao, who was hiding at the edge of the woods, could clearly feel it.

Ariel next to him, her slender and slender body, began to tremble slightly unconsciously.

However, since she deliberately turned her head away, Lei Xiao couldn't see the expression on the other's cheek.

"Those members of your Leng Yan royal family are thinking about how to seize the throne and save their own lives. How can they come to such a place where birds don't **** and take care of the lives of you lowly commoners?"

With a sneering smile, the captain of the Holy Night Soldier held an axe in his hand, and then heavily stood the long-handled axe in his hand to the ground, while stirring up a burst of gravel, he sneered: "Stop dreaming, I will die for this uncle. Get this heart."

"The captain is right, those high-ranking members of the royal family can come to condescend to save two lowly civilians?"

At this moment, I only listened to the thin Holy Night soldier, followed by echoing: "If that's the case, why did you **** from Leng Yan end up here today?"

Having said that, the skinny Holy Night soldier gave a stern smile and said ruthlessly: "A sensible person hurry up and tell us where other people are hiding, otherwise, don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless!"

"Nonsense, liar! Our prince and princess Leng Yan are our protectors and will definitely come to save us!"

Hearing this, the boy and girl seemed to summon up the courage and retorted loudly.

"It's really two disgusting naive little brats."

Looking at the increasingly determined eyes of the two not far away, the captain of the Holy Night Soldier spat, and the killing intent on his body suddenly soared, obviously all patience has been worn down.

Immediately afterwards, the captain of the Holy Night Soldier picked up the standing axe and slowly approached the two who were already on the edge of the cliff, and said savagely: "If that's the case, then let this uncle die here!"

On the other side, seeing the other party approaching, the boy and girl involuntarily took a step back.

In the next second, the stone under his feet rolled and fell straight off the cliff.

Further back, there is a vast abyss, and the two of them are already unable to retreat.

However, the pace of the captain of the soldiers still did not stop, and the killing intent on his face soared to the extreme.

Just when the opponent picked up the axe and was about to fall.

In the forest, an extremely fast arrow of light swept through at an extremely high speed.

The battle axe raised in the hands of the soldier captain fell heavily on the ground together with his astonished master.

"who?!"

Seeing this scene, the other Holy Night Army soldiers, while shocked, immediately reacted, raised their weapons and looked in the direction of the forest.

"The fifth princess of Leng Yan, Ariel? King!"

A firm and crisp sound sounded, and Ariel's slender body appeared in front of all the Holy Night soldiers.
