Chapter 490： Prelude to the Battle of the Fortress

After a while, when the ground rose again, a large number of neatly arranged magic turrets appeared in front of Lei Xiao.

At a glance, I saw that these magic fortresses, which were mainly made of white spar, were scattered and divided into several rows, from one end of the city wall to the other end of the city wall, which looked extremely spectacular.

"I see. Is it the magic treadmill hidden in the fortress? It's a rather interesting mechanism."

Seeing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly,

Having said that, Lei Xiao has also learned a lot about the magic gun turret during this period of time.

For the magic gun with its own perfect erection function, although it is not a necessary accessory.

However, the special magic crystal called memory spar on the turret can protect the body of the magic gun and increase the power of the magic gun a little.

Moreover, as long as the magic cannon is mounted on it, this memory spar, which can change its own shape, will automatically fit perfectly with the magic cannon, and if it is not the magic cannon, this reaction will not occur.

"According to Lin, the reason why this happens is because these memory spar can just enhance the magic circle with the power enchanted by the magic gun, produce a magical resonance, and then have a fit reaction."

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao continued to think: "These magic turrets on the walls of the fortress look similar to those in the territory. As for the memory spar needed to build magic turrets in the territory, I told Lin Obtained from within the Shanglu Fair,”

"Speaking of which, although the price of the memory spar is also very high, it is not worth mentioning compared with the sky-high price of the magic cannon itself. Therefore, using it as the material for the magic cannon is undoubtedly the most expensive. Excellent choice."

Just like this, Lei Xiao thought so, accompanied by Old Bai, and quickly set up a second-order fire-type magic gun with magic light crystals installed on the fort.

It didn't take long for a full 300 fire-type magic cannons to appear in front of everyone present.

At first glance, I saw a dark cannon body that was perfectly fitted by white crystals. Under the bright moonlight, it reflected a cold frosted light, which attracted the surrounding cold flame soldiers to send out bursts of amazement. Voice.

Even Ariel, who had been following behind Lei Xiao, couldn't help but react the same way.

You must know that the cost of a second-order magic cannon is at least 1 million golden dragons.

It can be imagined from this that the value of a full 300 doors will be a huge number.

The most important thing is that with the blessing of these magic cannons, the output capability of the entire fortress will undoubtedly get a leap forward!

For a time, a pair of excited and awe-inspiring eyes continued to project towards Lei Xiao's location.

At the same time, as gunners, the three magician squadrons who were already waiting on the side immediately began to familiarize themselves with their respective gun positions and adjust their angles under the orders of their respective commanders.

From the familiar movements of these magicians, it is obvious that they all have rich combat experience.

"Your Excellency has worked hard!"

After all the magic cannons were adjusted, they were hidden again, and Bai Lao's old face was full of excitement, and he said again: "This old man never thought before that the many magic fortresses in this mountain fortress will be able to Once again it's all covered with magic cannons!"

"It's just a trivial idea, nothing to talk about." With a slight smile, Lei Xiao responded.

On the other side, Bai Lao shook his head and said helplessly: "Don't hide it, Your Excellency, a few years ago, due to the constant fire of war due to the fortress in the extreme north of the kingdom, most of the magic guns here were transferred there. …”

"A fortress in the extreme north?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

Before that, he had heard this place name many times.

According to the information I have learned so far, the current head coach there is Leng Yan's third princess, Ariel's sister.

"Intelligence shows that this person is not interested in other things, including the throne, other than fighting. When Ariel was young, he took the initiative to go to the battlefield to experience. It is said that his strength is even unparalleled. Above most of the kingdom generals, is an absolute wolf destroyer.

Thinking of this, a burly image of King Kong Barbie suddenly appeared in Lei Xiao's mind, and he continued to think: "Forget it, although I am a little curious, the top priority is to focus on the battle in front of me."

Next, Lei Xiao learned from the conversation with Bai Lao.

Bert and Jubai, one responsible for the security inside the fortress and the other responsible for logistical support, have already taken their places.

As for Ariel, she stayed at the forefront of the city wall with Old Bai to boost the morale of the soldiers.

Of course, Lei Xiao, who is fully prepared, will also stay in this position to take charge of the overall situation.

Just after everything was discussed, the prompt sound of hurried recitation rang again.

After the connection, this time, Nanyue's slightly shy voice sounded beside Lei Xiao's ears: "Report to the lord, the enemy has already joined forces in the camp in front, and is marching mightily towards the fortress. !"

"Understood, is it finally coming?"

Turning off the recitation, Lei Xiao, who was standing on the towering city wall, moved his gaze and finally landed in the mountains and forests in the distance.

In that direction, there is a relatively flat wide road, which is the only way for the Holy Night Army to come here.

"Your Excellency, since the other party has already joined forces, we should take our place."

On the other side, Bai Lao, who also got the news through the contact secret method, nodded to Lei Xiao.

Next, under the command of Bai Lao, except for the soldiers wearing blue armbands, the other soldiers began to quickly evacuate and moved towards the predetermined hidden positions around the city wall.

For a while, the whole scene suddenly became extremely tense.

A war is coming.

"Understood, then let's wait for the arrival of the other party."

Seeing this, Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and then, surrounded by a group of subordinates, began to walk towards a large arrow tower that could directly lead to the interior of the fortress.

……

Under the double moon, the night wind is bleak, and the insects are chirping.

I saw that on a passage under a mountain covered with a lot of bushes, the low green leaves that had been stationary suddenly began to tremble slightly.

It didn't take long, accompanied by a dull sound of "dong, dong, dong".

Even the fine gravel on the ground began to vibrate without wind, as if it were dancing on the drum surface.

At this moment, in this environment, the one that can knock the earth at this frequency is naturally the uniform footsteps of the Holy Night Army.

The next second, a large number of soldiers began to appear at the end of the road.

At the same time, the heavy and orderly footsteps, mixed with the crisp armor collision, also intensified, just like a reverberation subwoofer turned on to the extreme, which shocked people.

Gu Yan

In a short time, on the road, there were neatly lined blue-patterned armored soldiers, endless, and there was no end in sight.

The rows of shiny armor and sharp spear tips reflected a cold light under the silvery-white moonlight.

At the same time, icy and biting breaths radiated from every soldier's body.

Then they gathered together to form a majestic and vast momentum, like a pair of big hands that choked the throat, almost suffocating.

Careful observation, even though the entire team had hardly any lighting measures, the soldiers were still walking fast, and every one of them had a murderous look in their eyes.

It seems that some kind of group magic that enhances night vision should be cast.

Just like that, in a state of complete silence.

This continuous torrent of steel, like a giant beast crawling on the ground, is constantly approaching the mountain fortress, which also maintains its tranquility.

……

Time passed by in the blink of an eye, until it was about an hour before dawn.

The huge Holy Night Army has already arrived at the fortress on time.

At a glance, I saw that there were seven giant phalanxes neatly distributed on the vast land in front of the fortress.

Among them, the three giant phalanxes near the city gate in the front are cone-shaped one in front and two behind.

Further back, in the large depression in front of the fortress, due to the unfavorable terrain, the Holy Night Army did not deploy soldiers.

On the left and right sides of the depression, there is a giant phalanx, facing the two small fortresses on the mountainside on both sides of the fortress.

And at the back of the depression, there are two giant square formations one after the other.

"A square formation is obviously the size of an army of ten thousand people, but why are there only seven square formations?"

At this time, Lei Xiao, who was wearing a blessed invisibility cloak and located in the arrow tower in the corner of the fortress, couldn't help showing a thoughtful expression while looking out through the shooting port.

You must know that according to the information obtained from Aogu and the report of Nanxing Nanyue, the Holy Night Army really came out in full force, leaving only a small number of elite troops to guard the main camp and granary.

"I have to say, on the field, something unexpected will happen."

Lei Xiao curled his lips slightly, and Lei Xiao's expression became stern again, and he continued to think: "In short, we must figure out the whereabouts of the Holy Night Army as soon as possible. After all, there are only 10,000 defenders in the mountain fortress."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately contacted Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Bai Wei, A Ling, and A Bing, who were still out, and instructed the five subordinates to start investigating around the fortress.

And, let the knotweed and Hong Ye beside them fully perceive the abnormality around the fortress.

After finishing all this arrangement, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and re-observed the dynamics under the fortress.

Next, wait until the time scheduled by Aogu and the Holy Night Army comes.

Ye Cang, who had already prepared, immediately activated the special signal magic scroll.

The next second, a silent dark blue signal flare shot straight into the sky.

He then dragged his long tail and began to descend slowly above the Holy Night Army.

At the same time, along with the crisp sound of iron chains rubbing against each other, the metal bridge suspended high in the fortress crashed down, and the giant metal door behind the bridge also opened completely.

"It's finally opened!"

Seeing this, the commander of the Holy Night Legion, who was at the front of the fortress, riding a tall horse, couldn't help showing a look of joy.

However, just when he was about to give the order to rush into the city, he was stopped by a lieutenant beside him.

"General, something is wrong."

I saw the dignified look on the lieutenant's face, and reminded: "Although the time is just right and the signal is fine, but I always feel that it seems too quiet here, it is better to let the cavalry of the three battalions of the headquarters, rush. How about go in and have a look?"

"The lieutenant has been thinking too much. Now that the gate of the fortress has been opened, if Leng Yan's **** can react and delay the excellent fighter opportunity, can you, the lieutenant, be able to take this responsibility?"

Glancing at the lieutenant in disdain, the commander snorted coldly.

This intruding Holy Night Legion is an elite force selected from multiple legions. The commander and two lieutenants are from different legions.

Therefore, the commander is naturally afraid that the lieutenant will rob him of his first credit.

You must know that Tou Gong has the right to control the next Leng Yan city at will.

At that time, you can naturally do whatever you want.

Thinking of this, while a wretched smile appeared on the commander's face, the killing intent was immediately apparent, and while raising the long-handled axe in his hand, he shouted: "Generals, rush in with this general, Kill all the puppies of Leng Yan!"

In the next second the commander took the lead and rushed in with his soldiers.

At this moment, except for the commander.

I saw that every soldier behind him had a ferocious look on his face, and the sharp lance and long sword in his hand flashed a biting cold light.

Seeing this scene, the other two lieutenants were not to be outdone, and rushed to follow.

At this point, this elite team consisting of five cavalry brigades, four battalions of light infantry, and a mixed magician brigade broke into the army, and they all rushed through the gate of the fortress.

After a short while, the murderous intruding army had completely entered the fortress's urn city.

The commander who rushed at the front found out that the gate of the barn city was not opened, and it looked indestructible.

"Bastard, what are you dawdling at?"

Looking at the few Cold Flame Army soldiers wearing blue armbands above the urn city, the commander spat while grabbing the reins of the proud horse.

However, after waiting for a while, those few expressionless soldiers did not respond.

Seeing this, the commander suddenly showed a look of contempt, and he couldn't help but scolded: "It's just a group of thieves who are selling their favors, don't hurry up and open it to Lao Tzu..."

However, in the next second, the commander's angry voice did not completely fall.

Accompanied by a loud rumbling sound, at the gate of the rear fortress, a huge metal gate slammed down first, completely trapping the Holy Night Army, who was just about to kill, completely trapped in the huge urn city. .
