Chapter 497： The battle before dawn (middle)

At this moment, Lei Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the ice knights who were smashing into the hinterland of the Holy Night Siege Legion like a sharp blade that cuts iron like mud, and nodded with satisfaction.

Needless to say, this raid was obviously very successful.

Of course, in order to better control, at this time, Lei Xiao was not idle either.

Instead, he rode on the body of the white giant wolf, and also brought Ariel and other subordinates, not far or near, closely following the pace of the ice knights.

At present, the atmosphere on the battlefield is disordered, and the shouts of killing are constant. Coupled with the lowest strength of the group, it is also at the third-order peak level, which can be one enemy and one hundred.

Therefore, the other party is naturally unable to detect a single cent.

Having said that, because this siege battlefield is a slightly steep and empty half-mountain area.

Therefore, Lei Xiao simply let the ice knights charging in front of them sprint down the hillside crazily.

It is true that although the ice knight only has only eighteen cavalry, the strength of the third-tier peak level, coupled with the sharp ice spear that is comparable to the third-tier top lance, and the thick ice armor that is comparable to the third-tier top heavy armor.

Then, using the steep terrain from top to bottom, it is naturally invincible to attack these miscellaneous legionnaires who are mostly at the same level and are still caught off guard.

I saw that among the tall and strong ice horses galloping, the Holy Night Siege Corps and the soldiers in the rear camp were smashed into chaos.

During this process, soldiers were continuously knocked into the air by the huge impact force, which made the whole scene suddenly become abnormally chaotic.

For a time, whether it was this amazing shock scene or the **** aura that was becoming more intense around it, they were constantly impacting the tense nerves of the opposing soldiers.

At the forefront of the battlefield, the enemy's long-range soldiers who were attacking their own fortress defenders saw this, and hurriedly retracted their formations under the orders of their respective commanders, and then retreated to defend.

However, due to the other Holy Night soldiers in the rear of the camp, they have already been messing around like flies without their heads.

Therefore, many of these Holy Night long-range troops at the forefront of the team were stopped by their own people, and they couldn't move backwards at all.

On the contrary, because they exposed their backs to the cold flame defenders on the fortress, these long-range archers and magicians of the Holy Night Army suffered a lot of losses.

All in all, under Lei Xiao's surprise attack, this Holy Night Legion, which had a neat formation, was undoubtedly attacked from the front and back, and it became a mess in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Ariel, who was beside Lei Xiao, couldn't help but take a deep breath of the bitter night wind with a strong **** smell.

As a well-informed Leng Yan royal family, she naturally saw these ice knights at first sight. They are powerful high-level alchemy puppets.

"I didn't expect this guy to hide eighteen alchemy puppets of the third-order peak level. You must know that this thing is an extremely expensive and rare alchemy product. Even on me, there are only six third-order seniors. It's only at the level of the strong..."

As the stars twinkled, Ariel, who had a new acquaintance with Lei Xiao's strength, continued to think.

The most important thing is that this guy only used 18 cavalry to make an army of 10,000 people mess up, which is unbelievable.

On the other side, the eighteen ice knights moving at high speed quickly completely penetrated the opponent's camp and galloped down the mountain.

Therefore, after the initial panic, the soldiers of the Holy Night Army who were first scattered, quickly formed a new battle formation.

Seeing this, Lei Xiao, who was following not far away, raised his eyebrows slightly.

He secretly said in his heart, "Although these eighteen ice knights have caused extremely limited damage to the opponent, my main purpose is to disrupt and attract the attention of the opponent's siege army, so that the Red Devils' plan to contain the small fortress fails."

"As long as this is successfully achieved, my plan has been successful."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

Sure enough, an angry roar rang out in the Holy Night Army's camp: "Everyone retreated from the attack range of the fortress. First, kill all those abominable knights who suddenly came to Lao Tzu!"

Immediately afterwards, the huge Holy Night Legion sieging the city was immediately divided into two parts. Except for one part that was far away from defending the small fortress gate, the other part all faced the ice knight who was galloping down the mountain.

In an instant, an arrow was on the string, and the fully drawn longbow was raised, all aiming at the backs of the ice knights leaving.

At a glance, I saw that the road leading down the mountain had already been covered with blocks of horses and deer fortresses by the Holy Night Army, which completely blocked the eighteen ice knights from leaving.

The speed of the ice knights also dropped significantly.

And the current terrain is still relatively steep, even if the ice knight moves laterally, the speed will obviously be greatly affected.

Seeing this scene, looking at the hazy backs of the knights, the archers of the Holy Night Army who were preparing to attack in the front row had a sneer on their murderous faces.

These roadblocks were originally set up to prevent the cavalry in the small fortress of Leng Yan from rushing out halfway up the mountain, but now, they were accidentally used here.

Careful observation, there are a large number of archers in these Holy Night Army, and among them, there are several elite squadrons of the second rank.

Moreover, on the arrows of many soldiers, there are magic streamers flickering, obviously they are carefully crafted magic arrows.

There is no doubt that under the coverage of thousands of arrows, even a Tier 4 powerhouse has to avoid its edge.

And these third-order peak strength ice knights, although rough skin and thick flesh, will also suffer a lot of damage!

Once he was wounded, and was swarmed by enemy soldiers, the result would be self-evident.

"Hey, it's only a dozen or so rides. How big of a wave can you make in front of my army of 10,000 people?"

At this moment, I saw the commander of the Holy Night Siege Corps, who was protected by the group, and couldn't help but spit, and said: "Is the golem puppet summoned from the fortress? , in an instant you will be wiped out."

After speaking, the commander's mouth suddenly had a chill, and he immediately gave the order to send all arrows.

In the next second, the archers of the Holy Night Army were preparing to shoot arrows while grinning.

However, he was suddenly surprised to find that the ice knights who were stopped by the horse had completely disappeared from sight.

"Is this stealth?!"

For a time, the audience was in an uproar, and in the eyes that were filled with cold air, they once again revealed disbelief and bewilderment.

On the other side, Lei Xiao, who saw this scene, smiled lightly.

Naturally, these ice knights will not disappear out of thin air, but have been re-entered into the space bracelet by him, who has been wearing an invisibility cloak.

And just when the Holy Night Army was confused.

Lei Xiao and his party, already chasing the wind and electricity, returned to the hidden place on the mountainside just now.

At this time, most of them were still facing down the mountain, with their backs to the Holy Night Army.

Lei Xiao curled his lips slightly and thought to himself in his heart: "These guys obviously didn't learn the lesson just now, so let me score twice and remind the other party again."

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao did not hesitate.

With a wave of his hand, he released the eighteen ice knights again, and from the same position, he launched a second round of charge against the sieging Holy Night Legion.

Next, a scene even more shocking than before appeared.

At this moment, except for a part of the Holy Night Army that was guarding the fortress, it was facing the ice knight sideways.

The other part of the Holy Night Army, who was preparing to encircle the ice knights, fully exposed its defenseless back.

Boom! boom! boom!

With the sound of heavy horse hooves hitting the ground, the earth trembled.

Wherever the ice knights went, there was an endless stream of panic and screams. The Holy Night Army, which had just been reorganized, fell into chaos for the second time.

At this moment, facing the icy hoofs, the soldiers of the Holy Night Army never thought of it.

Those powerful knights who brought death and fear actually appeared behind them with sharp lances!

"What the **** is going on?!"

Looking at the ice knight who was attacking frantically from behind again, even the commander of the Holy Night Army, who was calm just now, couldn't help showing a panicked look on his face.

At this moment, he noticed with hindsight that these powerful golems were probably not summoned from the defenders in the fortress.

But around his legion, there is a third other force hidden!

"Don't worry about those ice knights, switch to a defensive formation!"

Immediately afterwards, the commander's annoyed anger sounded: "As long as we pay attention to defense, those knight golem puppets will naturally be useless! If an unknown person approaches, shoot them!"

Just like that, when the chaotic Holy Night army formation quickly shrank, it re-formed a compact formation with heavy infantry and spearmen on the periphery, and surrounded by light infantry, archers and magicians.

For a time, a majestic aura that was uniform and murderous filled the air suddenly emanated from the square formation of nearly ten thousand people, making the surrounding air thicker and almost suffocating.

Seeing this, the commander of the Holy Night Army, who was at the very center of the army formation, nodded with satisfaction, and there was a smug look on his face.

Under his meticulous training, although this legion was originally recruited by the garrison troops from all over the Holy Night, the speed of formation was almost comparable to that of a well-trained elite legion.

"After Lao Tzu formed a square and round iron barrel formation, I saw that there were only eighteen horses, what can I do?"

At this time, the commander of the Holy Night Army of this siege army spat again, and said with a look of contempt: "In the end, it's just a trick."

On the other side, Lei Xiao, who was wearing an invisibility cloak, had also quietly recovered the space bracelets from the ice knights who had only suffered minor injuries.

"Have you finally completely contracted the formation? Ye Cang and Chaoyan can start your performances."

Just away from the area where the Holy Night Army was, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and then ordered.

"Follow your orders! Lord Lord!"

Accompanied by the two neatly responding, a series of earth-shattering loud noises sounded condescendingly from the hidden place just now.

The next second, inconspicuous black dots suddenly appeared above the heads of the Holy Night soldiers who had just formed a dense battle formation.

Immediately afterward, at the same time as waves of impressive energy surged out, those black dots suddenly began to expand and grow.

Immediately, a large number of soldiers were completely shrouded in it, and a huge black translucent sphere was formed.

I felt the night above my head getting darker and darker. Between doubts, the soldiers in the shadows just had time to look up into the sky.

The huge black sphere above his head had already begun to shrink inwards rapidly, and together with the shrouded soldiers, it disappeared completely.

In the end, only at the edge, there were left stumps and broken arms that had not been completely covered.

For a time, the Holy Night Army camp, which had just formed a strict formation, suddenly appeared one after another with huge holes, making the whole scene seem strange.

And the other Holy Night Army soldiers who were not affected, the killing intent on their faces quickly changed to panic.

A wave of fear and anxiety quickly spread through the opponent's camp.

Seeing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

Naturally, the one that can cause such momentum and good damage is the second-order magic cannon of the space system.

At present, Lei Xiao has a total of seventy-five such magic-guided cannons on his body, and the ones he launched just now were only ten.

After the magic cannon was fired, Ye Cang and Chaoyan had already received storage rings, and had already left the place just now.

"This is a spell of the space system?!"

On the other hand, because all this happened between lightning and flint, looking at most of the squadron soldiers who were guarding him not far away directly turned into nothingness.

The commander of the Holy Night Army, whose contemptuous expression had not completely dissipated on his face, suddenly opened his mouth in shock, with a look of disbelief.

Immediately afterwards, a trace of uncontrollable horror flooded his stunned face.

When the formation is retracted, it will be attacked by the magic cannon, and when the formation is expanded, it will be attacked by the knight golem.

Moreover, there are 10,000 Leng Yan defenders, eager to try in the nearby fortress, and they may attack at any time...

At this moment, he was undoubtedly caught in a dilemma.

For a time, because the commander was overwhelmed, the morale of the entire Holy Night Legion plummeted, and it fell into a state of chaos.

"It only took a while for a force of ten thousand people to be completely overwhelmed?"

Seeing the Holy Night Army in chaos again, while excited, Ariel couldn't help but cast a little awe at Lei Xiao, who was standing indifferently beside her.

I have to say, this guy from another world can always surprise her...

On the other side, Lei Xiao, who was watched by Ariel, did not relax for a moment.

At present, under his own intervention, this Holy Night Siege Corps has almost lost its original role in restraint.

As a result, in order not to disrupt the original attack plan, the Red Devils, the head coach of the Holy Night, will definitely take action.

And the action at this time is very likely to use the hidden powerful hole cards in advance.

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

Sure enough, on the battlefield, another unexpected change happened to everyone on the side.
