Chapter 508： The end of the fortress battle

Noticing the direction of the camp behind him, thick smoke rose up.

Not only was the Red Devil's old eyes full of disbelief, the words stopped abruptly.

Even the surrounding soldiers of the Holy Night Army were all shocked and could hardly believe their eyes.

For a time, except for the constant explosions and shouts of killing around.

This area was actually silent and terrifyingly silent.

Such an extremely quiet scene is undoubtedly in sharp contrast with the surrounding extremely moving battlefield, which is obviously very out of tune.

While everyone was stunned.

A panic-stricken staff officer had already rushed to the Red Devils in a tumble and crawled, and crawled directly in the tunnel: "Reporting to Lord Red Devil, our camp was fiercely attacked by our opponents, and the absolute defense barrier has been broken. I am afraid that the food and grass will not be able to be preserved!"

"what?!"

Hearing the sound, on the old face of the Red Devil, a pair of gray-white eyeballs full of bloodshot eyes almost burst out of their sockets.

You must know that the absolute defensive barrier in the rear camp has three squadrons of the most elite magicians deployed.

Its sturdiness level, even if the Griffin Knight squadron that was completely destroyed just dropped all the alchemy bombs, it would be impossible to break it.

In addition, in the camp, there are three elite archers squadrons and four elite heavy infantry squadrons guarding.

Such a thousand-person Tier 2 elite combat power, and then relying on the absolute defensive barrier, is enough to make ten Tier 4 powerhouses return!

"So, how did the other party do it?! Could it be that... there are really fifth-order powerhouses in the camp of the mysterious helping hand?!"

Realizing this, a chill rushed into the Red Devil's mind in an instant.

It was only now that he fully realized it.

How terrifying is that mysterious helper hidden in the dark.

"First, I destroyed Aogu's dedication, and then I took the plan and swallowed the most elite breakthrough army of the old man, and then tried hard to capture it, smashing the old man's two long-range legions one after another."

Recalling the scenes of the offensive and defensive battle of the fortress, the Red Devil couldn't help but gasped in the turbid air that was full of blood and anxiety, setting off a huge wave in his heart.

"Then, this mysterious helper used thunder to destroy the old man's Griffin Knight squadron, the disappearing eighth legion, and the powerhouse of the Dark Devouring Society. These three cards are almost certain to win. In the end, they still directly Attacked the old man's camp?!"

Looking at the forest edge fortress that was still strong under the fierce offensive, the Red Devil's old eyes were full of shock.

"Originally, the old man thought that as long as his three trump cards were presented, he would surely move the scale of victory and welcome the arrival of the goddess of victory, but he never thought that the opponent's trump cards would be the real king of this war."

"What's even more frightening is that the mysterious helping hand, even if there is a top-level combat power such as a fifth-order powerhouse, can't be dispatched until the last critical moment..."

"Anyway, recalling all kinds of battles, such a calm and calm strategy and layout, it makes people's backs chill! It's impossible to do this with the white old man with the head of elm wood alone!"

Thinking of this, the Red Devil's expression became more dignified and puzzled.

Then he roared filial piety in his heart: "So, who is this old man fighting against? Or, who is the master of that mysterious helping hand?!"

At the same time as the Red Devil's mind was up and down.

Looking at the direction of the big camp in the distance, the thick black smoke is constantly churning.

The faces of the soldiers around the Holy Night have long since lost the killing intent, replaced by unease and fear.

In an instant, the originally high morale and fighting spirit dropped to freezing point in an instant.

"Lord Red Devil, retreat! My Holy Night has no chance of winning!"

Directly opposite, the middle-aged lieutenant knelt on one knee again, bowing his head and begging.

"I'm waiting for a second opinion!"

The rest of the staff officers also did the same.

Hearing the request of the officers, this time, the fist that the Red Devil had been clenching was finally helpless.

Knowing that the situation was over, he did not hesitate any longer, then waved his hand and ordered: "First of all, instruct all water magicians to create as much muddy terrain as possible on the only way down the mountain.

Secondly, arrange those who refused horses and deer villages in order to block the footsteps of the opponent's cavalry chasing, and finally, the light and heavy infantry battalions of each legion will retreat! "

After a while, the low sound of the retreating horn resounded throughout the battlefield.

...

"Great, the Holy Night Army has finally retreated!"

At the same time, looking at the soldiers of the Holy Night Army retreating like a flood in the hidden part of the city wall of the fortress at the forest edge, Ariel's delicate face suddenly showed an irrepressible joy.

I saw her looking at Lei Xiao who was standing beside her, and said excitedly: "Everything is exactly as you expected!"

At this moment, Ariel, who is Princess Leng Yan, clearly understood.

In front of him, this young man with a calm expression who came from another world, not only successfully repelled the Holy Night Army of the eight legions, but also thwarted the opponent's attempt to capture the three fortresses.

Moreover, after indirectly saving the fortress, countless unarmed Leng Yan people!

This kind of achievement is enough to make this young man from another world, forever in the history of Leng Yan, and become a hero of Leng Yan admired by thousands of people!

Even, being conferred by the royal family and becoming the most dazzling emerging noble in the Leng Yan upper class, it is not a difficult task!

"However, the addition of officials, promotions and rewards, something that almost everyone dreams of, I am afraid that he will only sneer at it."

Looking at Lei Xiao's calm profile, Ariel sighed in her heart again.

"With this guy's unbelievable wealth and solid background, I'm afraid he should be the one who will give others rank, nobility and rewards..."

Thinking of this, Ariel lowered her eyes and shook her head helplessly.

"Withering insect tricks, what's the point of hanging teeth."

Hearing the sound, I saw that Lei Xiao first smiled slyly.

Afterwards, he focused his gaze on a group of Holy Night Army magicians not far from the city wall, guarded by heavy infantry, who were concentrating on casting spells.

Looking at these water magicians, or creating huge water **** to hit the ground, or simply creating a small piece of dark cloud that was dripping rain, Lei Xiao couldn't help but have a thoughtful look on his face.

There is no doubt that these magicians are obviously creating muddy terrain to prevent the cold flame army in the fortress from killing out and causing more casualties.

"I already have some ideas for this idea of ​​changing the terrain of the battlefield, but in the final analysis, it still has to rely on powerful magic power."

Realizing this, Lei Xiao, surrounded by his subordinates, raised his eyebrows slightly.

For his subordinates, Hong Ye, who is a red dragon, and Chao Yan, a fire magician.

It is naturally a blink of an eye to completely evaporate this moisture-laden terrain and turn it back into solid dirt.

"Your Excellency Ke Qing, the old Red Devil has finally retreated!"

Accompanied by a burst of hearty laughter.

Old Bai, dressed in white armor, was already surrounded by several Leng Yanjun commanders. He walked over in a hurry and said excitedly, "This time, it's all up to Her Royal Highness Princess and Your Excellency Keqing!"

Then, under the leadership of Old Bai.

The commanders of the Leng Yan Army touched their chests with one hand, and all bowed deeply to Lei Xiao and Ariel, expressing their gratitude.

"General Bai and the commanders are welcome. This battle is the result of the concerted efforts of everyone present."

With a slight smile, Lei Xiao immediately asked, "General Bai, are the chasing troops that beat the Reserving Dogs ready in the three fortresses of our side?"

"Your Excellency Keqing, everything is ready. There are a total of 8,000 cavalry in the three fortresses, and they are already eager to try it!"

Nodding at Lei Xiao, Old Bai stroked his gray beard and responded immediately.

"Very good, let's start now when the opponent's morale is the lowest."

Having said that, Lei Xiao turned his head and faced Hong Ye next to him again, and ordered: "Go, let the opponent's magical terrain be invalid first, destroy the Juma and Luzhai, and then leave the opponent with the last fear. "

"Yes! Your lord."

Hearing this, Hong Ye first bowed slightly, then with a flash, he disappeared in front of Lei Xiao.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Keqing, then I'll excuse me first!"

After bowing to Lei Xiao again, Bai Lao and others took a step forward and hurried to set up a pursuit mission.

That's it, it didn't take long.

Accompanied by monstrous flames, and the roar of horses' hooves.

Behind the Holy Night Army, who was evacuating in a hurry, the screams of ghosts and wolves were heard again.

On the towering city wall, looking at the flames rising from time to time in the distance, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

Just now, the four people including the knotweed and the ten pterosaur knights including Sean had also returned intact.

However, Lei Xiao did not let these subordinates go to the battlefield again, but ordered everyone to rest in place.

At this moment, Lei Xiao clearly understood.

What he wanted to do was naturally not to exterminate the fleeing Holy Night Army.

Instead, it rebalances the border battle power between Leng Yan and Holy Night, so that the two sides return to a confrontational state where no one can destroy the other.

It is conceivable that if the Holy Night Army is completely disabled here.

Then, the Cold Flame Frontier Legion, which has lost the control of the Holy Night Army, will undoubtedly become an extremely unstable factor.

"Just as I thought just now, once this Cold Flame Legion is used by those princes, and then turns against me, it will be a loss than the gain."

Lei Xiao pouted slightly, and Lei Xiao continued to think.

"As for the underground tunnel, I have also asked Hong Ye to seal the entrance, and handed it over to Guan Zhong's younger brother Guan Te, who led the garrison brigade recruited from Kongqing Town to be responsible for guarding."

"Since you have figured out the specific location of the tunnel, it is naturally not difficult to defend it."

"In addition, when I left, I also took all the ice knights and earth guardians back to the space bracelet."

At this time, I saw Lei Xiao looking at the distance, the looming flames chasing the battlefield, while thinking thoughtfully: "As for that Guante, go back and let Guanzhong contact him and wait for the opportunity to subdue it."

"By the way, there is also the town of Mailan where Xuanyue is located. There is also a garrison brigade and two third-tier powerhouses here. When you go back, you have to let Xuanyue contact them."

"Fortunately, as far as I know, in this battle, the two garrison brigades of Kongqing Town and Mailan Town were almost unscathed."

"As for the three cities of Magnet Town, Shuiyue City and Fenglong City under my command, I did not send reinforcements to this frontier battlefield, and Chijian Town, which did not even have a garrison before, let alone Chijian Town."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao frowned slightly again.

In my heart, I thought to myself: "Speaking of which, the underground tunnel under the armory doesn't always seem to me to be formed naturally... However, I can't see the traces of artificial excavation. Therefore, where is the mystery? where?"

After thinking for a moment, Lei Xiao's frowned frowned, stretched out again, shook his head and said, "Forget it, the top priority right now is to completely stabilize this frontier battlefield, and then wait for the opportunity to subdue Ariel. As for other things, we'll talk about it later. ."

Realizing this, Lei Xiao's dark eyes moved and landed on Ariel, who was on the side, only to find that this girl was also looking at him with a complicated expression.

"Dear Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess, do I have flowers on my face?"

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao teased.

"Don't...don't be too affectionate, this princess was just looking behind you, and happened to be blocked by your head!"

On the other side, Ariel quickly retracted her gaze, flicked the ponytail behind her head, and hummed.

However, just after she finished speaking, Ariel's star eyes flowed, and she unconsciously cast her gaze over again, and said to Lei Xiao: "From another world, this time is really thanks to you."

After speaking, Ariel regained her energy and gave Lei Xiao a standard chest salute: "On behalf of the people of Leng Yan and all the soldiers of Leng Yan in the three fortresses, thank you for your help!"

"You're welcome, it's just a little effort."

Dandan smiled, and Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao seemed to inadvertently stared at Ariel's star eyes and said: "However, even if the crisis is resolved this time, as the fifth princess of Leng Yan, you should understand better than anyone else that this is just a It's just a battle to treat the symptoms but not the root cause."

"You're right But that's all I can do."

Hearing the sound, recalling what happened in the capital, Ariel's star eyes were lowered, and a sense of powerlessness and frustration came to her heart again.

Although she never said it, Ariel clearly understood in her heart.

In her three brothers, she could not see any hope of Leng Yan's future at all.

All she saw was the desperate killing in the capital, the frenzied destruction, and the desperate eyes of innocent civilians on the streets before they died.

The once prosperous royal capital has now become a **** battlefield of power.

But the admonitions of the father and the king, the motto of the royal family, and even the safety of the entire kingdom and its people, have already been thrown into the clouds by her three brothers.

What makes Ariel even more uncomfortable is that about all this, she is weak, but nothing can be changed.

On the contrary, it was because of the chasing and killing of the king's brother that he fled the capital in embarrassment, and was even forced to leave her father, who was seriously ill.

"In your body, perhaps, there is another possibility."

Just when Ariel thought of this in despair.

On the other side, Lei Xiao's gentle and calm voice sounded again.
