Chapter 651： A woeful collapse

The young man standing in front of these siege fighters was naturally Lei Xiao.

Surrounding Lei Xiao were the knotweed, Hong Ye, Lian, Ye Cang, Ariel, Chaoyan and Lina, as well as 24 earth guardians, 20 divine arm shooters and 18 ice knights.

Further down, there were two squadrons of elite great swordsmen under Lei Xiao's command.

As for Ju Bai, Burt, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Fang Hai, Lin and Guan Zhong, they had already reinforced the other three garrison captains to defend the other three walls.

With the reinforcements headed by five fourth-order powerhouses, and the other three relatively weak city walls, it is naturally impregnable.

"Two...two fifth-order powerhouses?"

Looking at the knotweed and the red night surrounding Lei Xiao, Birdwyn, who was the first to bear the brunt, turned ashen, even though the energy flow in the battlefield was extremely chaotic.

But as a fourth-order powerhouse, he still felt an extreme sense of oppression at the first time.

That kind of feeling, like a giant hand exuding a strong cold air, was tightly pinching the neck, bringing a suffocating, bone-chilling cold.

"What... what?! This terrifying sense of oppression is really a fifth-order powerhouse?! Or two?!"

Anzem, who was slightly weaker in perception, looked at Birdwyn's stunned expression, his legs softened, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

In addition to being horrified, Anzem, who knew that he was doomed, gritted his teeth and looked at Ariel who was standing beside Lei Xiao. On the fat and greasy face, a faint hint of coldness appeared, and he planned softly: "Count Your Excellency, until now, I can only desperately capture the fifth princess..."

However, before Anzem's words were finished, he felt a chill behind his back, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, his eyes bulging out on his fat face, and he fell forward with a bang in disbelief.

Amidst the dust, on the back of the corpse, which had lost its vitality, there was a huge blood-red slash with deep bones.

Behind the corpse, Baldwin, who was holding a blood-dropping long-handled axe, glanced coldly at Anzem who was still in the battlefield just now, and then hurriedly smiled at Ariel: "Your Highness Princess, both This guy with ulterior motives, who instigated his servant to attack the city, and now his servant has killed this person, I also ask Her Royal Highness to forgive me for the crime of disrespect!"

"You are Baldwin, the lord of Velen City, right?"

Looking at the **** scene in this nest, there were no waves on Ariel's fair face, Dan Dan asked.

"That's right, Your Royal Highness, your servant is your most loyal servant, Baldwin! During Her Royal Highness's coming-of-age ceremony, this servant was fortunate enough to meet Her Royal Highness!"

The killing intent on Baldwin's face had long since been swept away, replaced by a face full of flattery and flattery.

I saw him bowing and saluting, and said eagerly: "The reason why your minister will attack here is because he was coerced by the faction of the eldest prince, and it is definitely not your original intention! Your servant is willing to serve the princess's side!"

After speaking, Baldwin, who was bowing his head, drew a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.

Naturally, he didn't really intend to bow his head to the court, he was just looking for an opportunity to escape.

Since the siege of the city was hopeless, it would be a great achievement if she could take advantage of the situation to hold Ariel hostage and then wait for the opportunity to escape.

And just now, he clearly understood.

If you don't kill that idiot Anzem first, once you let him stir up trouble, the first person to die will be the one who threatens the most!

"Baldwin, since you've seen me before, you should be able to see that I'm no longer the innocent little princess Leng Yan."

Ariel's delicate cheeks were still expressionless, and she said sternly: "A cruel guy who did not hesitate to attack Pao Ze beside him just to survive, he is not qualified to stand by my side!"

"Your Highness Princess, what do you mean? Why can't your servant understand?"

Baldwin's sly eyes rolled, and he quickly defended while estimating in his heart how he should escape.

"I have deeply experienced the prosperity of the city of Velen and the stinky and dilapidated villages outside the city."

Ignoring Baldwin's words, the staff in Ariel's hand pointed directly at Baldwin's hooked nose and said, "A fallen noble like you who ignores the Law of Cold Flame and makes free peasants become slaves again, fundamentally I don't have the qualifications to become a Leng Yan noble!"

"Since the era of the great hero king Yin Shi, the Leng Yan nobles who guard the four corners of the kingdom have always been a shield to protect the commoners, not a sword to stab them!"

As she spoke, Ariel's expression became more and more excited, as if she had poured out all the unhappiness and grief she had left in her heart from the many villages and free farmers she had seen during this period of time.

I saw Ariel took a deep breath, making her excitement a little slower, and continued: "If I remember correctly, according to the records of the Leng Yan nobles, your ancestors were once serfs, and they attacked the army under the command of the King of Heroes. The identity of the lieutenant, swore and was named Earl Leng Yan?"

"Although your ancestors got the fief and became the first nobles of the Cold Flame Kingdom, but a few years later, because of protecting the people from the beasts, they lost their lives, which is a pity."

Speaking of this, Ariel shook her head, and her eyes became sharp again: "And six hundred years later, you have not only abandoned the glory of the ancestors, but also betrayed the oath made by the ancestors, but also let the people of my Lengyan cry. All over the field, she has become a stepping stone for your intoxicated fans, and as the fifth princess of Leng Yan, I can't wait to slash you with a thousand knives!"

After speaking, Ariel's star eyes looked directly into Birdwin's sly and slightly stunned eyes, and said slowly: "Furthermore, you didn't say murderously just now that you would bring death and fire to the sky. Is it Qingzhen? Why is he now transformed into a coerced person?"

The reason why Ariel was able to clearly understand what Baldwin had just said was naturally because Nanxing Nanyue, who was wearing an invisibility cloak, was at the scene at the time.

Originally, under the order of Lei Xiao, this pair of twin sisters, who were good at sneaking, did not discover Birdwyn and Anzem, who were cunningly hidden in the huge army of soldiers, at the first time.

It wasn't until Anzem, who had been investigating a circle, returned to Baldwin's side, that he successfully locked the two.

After some deliberation, Lei Xiao did not order the two to be beheaded. After all, his goal was the entire Vanguard Corps, not these two irrelevant commanders.

"Hey... a whimsical and pampered innocent guy who really takes himself seriously."

After being pierced, a strong murderous aura flooded Baldwin's cheeks again.

I saw him wave his hand and shouted to the elite soldiers beside him: "Soldiers, they will never let us go, it is better to fight to the death to capture Ariel, and there will be a chance of life. !kill!"

When the elite soldiers around him heard it, despite their fear, they still gritted their teeth and showed their sharp blades, ready to attack.

These soldiers, who are new citizens, clearly understand.

Once those lowly free peasants are allowed to rise up, they will be overwhelmed by endless anger, who usually act as a blessing and pride themselves on being superior to others!

This is something they will never allow to happen, so whether it's that **** or Princess Ariel, they must die!

For a time, murderous aura filled the city wall.

The first echelon of siege soldiers with a scale of at least a thousand people rushed up like a tide under the command of Baldwin.

"Okay, let's end this farce."

Lei Xiao waved his hand at will, and then, surrounded by Lian and Ariel, stepped back a little, and the rest of the subordinates, as well as more than 60 golem puppets, went straight to meet him.

In the first half of the city wall, the siege soldiers with scarlet eyes were attacking with sharp blades in their hands, causing the killing intent to spread wildly in the air.

The two teams quickly began to confront each other, and what followed was the crisp sound of weapons breaking.

Bearing the brunt of Tiger Cane and Hong Ye, the Tiger Cane holding a two-handed giant sword was swung like a spinning windmill, making the weapons and armor of these siege soldiers, connected to their masters, cut in half by the sharp sword. .

Hong Ye jumped directly into the middle of the hostile soldiers, and burst out a circle of fiery flames. Wherever he went, the air was evaporated, and there was no soldier who could still stand.

Under the command of Lei Xiao, more than 60 tall golems, the guardian of the earth and the dismounted ice knight were slightly forward, and the archer with the divine arm was a little behind, almost lined up, advancing continuously. .

At present, the strength of the 24 earth guardians has reached the third-order seven-star, and the rest of the ice knights and divine arm shooters are third-order nine-stars. It is naturally easy to deal with these ordinary soldiers of the first and second orders.

The stone shields and greatswords of the Earth Guardians, the razor-sharp ice swords of the Ice Knights, and the light arrows of the Divine Arm Archers converged into a deadly net that wiped out any soldiers who tried to break through.

Coupled with Lei Xiao and Ariel in the back row, there was nothing to throw a lightning strike or a light curtain, so that the squadron of great swordsmen guarding the two main gates on the left and right of the city wall had almost nothing to do.

At the same time, Birdwyn, who was anointing the soles of his feet, was ready to leave.

However, he was restrained by a sudden solid bone mesh, and before he could break free, a sturdy arm with blue veins had already ruthlessly restrained his neck.

Needless to say, it was Lina and Ye Cang who were necromancers who dealt with him.

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

This cunning guy, as the commander of the Vanguard Legion, naturally couldn't easily kill him, but let Ye Cang interrogate him.

On the city wall, flames and sharp blades are entwined, like a soul sound of fire and iron.

It didn't take long, under the luxurious lineup of Lei Xiao's main force.

These first wave of the most elite siege soldiers on the city wall were all wiped out, leaving only the scarlet color that was spreading in the cracks of the bricks, still flowing freely.

Under the towering city walls, thick black smoke is still permeating.

These smokes were originally intended to cover the eyes of the soldiers defending the city, but now they are covering the eyes of the other echelons of the siege soldiers.

Listening to the constant shouting and killing from the city wall, these soldiers who were ordered to stand by were all murderous at first, scratching their ears and scratching their cheeks one by one, wishing they would go up and fight immediately.

But in the blink of an eye, there were only screams and rolling heat waves that came from the city wall.

Accompanied by the piercing sound on the city wall, the eardrums of the soldiers under the city were constantly clamoring, and vague unease began to spread quietly among the siege team on standby.

However, this vague unease did not last long, and was immediately covered by the greedy thoughts of robbing the treasures in the city.

With such a momentum, it must be Lord Baldwin who led the elite soldiers to kill the Quartet! And Lord Anzem is a fire magic master!

Thinking of this in their hearts, the ordinary soldiers under the city, the killing intent on their faces began to become more intense, each and everyone was ready to move, clenching the sharp blades in their hands, as if the city gate would open in the next second.

However, as the screams came to an abrupt end, what greeted these soldiers was not the open city gate, but the dense arrow feathers.

The dull sound of the bowstring vibrating the air sounded.

Since most of the soldiers were completely unprepared, they all fell to the ground in astonishment after being missed by the arrows.

One after another, sharp arrows were lost, easily piercing their light armor, bringing out a bright red from the back.

Until the last moment, these siege soldiers who were ready to kill, never figured out why they who were supposed to be the slaughterers ended up being the ones who were slaughtered.

"Lord Lord, if you weren't here, I'm afraid these soldiers could really easily turn a city of the same size into a purgatory on earth?"

In the arrow tower, Ariel looked at the large number of our garrison archers who re-boarded the city wall, and couldn't help but sighed in her heart.

"Blame them for picking the wrong opponent."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and said sullenly, "Of course, blind arrogance and greed for achievements are also the catalysts for their doomed failure."

Looking at the thick smoke that had begun to dissipate under the city Lei Xiao still had that calm expression, and continued: "As for these little cleverness, in the face of our absolute power, naturally they are not worth mentioning. ."

"As expected of the Lord, it is really reassuring."

Ariel involuntarily cast a respectful look at Lei Xiao and muttered to herself.

At this moment, under the heavy rain of arrows from our archers, the remaining enemy soldiers have already begun to disperse in a large area.

"It's far from the time to feel at ease. This is just the beginning. What awaits us will only be a storm-like attack, and if we are not careful, we will be annihilated in it."

Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly, and then smiled again: "However, this is our first victory in this battle, so let's enjoy this victory first."

After Lei Xiao finished speaking, the roar of the magic gun sounded, as if he was celebrating the victory.
