Chapter 504 Deployment in front of the fortress warehouse
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, Bai Lao and Ariel couldn't help but have a look of excitement on their faces.
Both of them understood clearly in their hearts.
At this moment, it seems that there is only one step left to completely defeat the Holy Night Army!
"General Bai, what is our current casualty situation?"
Directly opposite, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment and then asked.
"Your Excellency, according to the battle report we just received, after the initial battle and the first round of fortress offensive and defensive battles, the Mountain Fort Fortress suffered a total of about one brigade of casualties. This number has not changed."
Nodding slightly to Lei Xiao, Bai Lao responded: "As for the empty fortress on the other side, due to your timely reinforcements, the casualties were about the size of a brigade. As for the forestside fortress where we are currently located,
Nearly two brigades were injured or killed."
"Understood."
Listening to the extremely fierce shouts of killing and the sound of magic cannon fire from the direction of the city wall not far away, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Just now, when Lei Xiao and his party came to this forest edge fortress.
Just in time to catch up with the opponent's original siege legion and the legion-sized long-distance troops reinforced by Yamashita, they were about to merge.
Therefore, take advantage of the opportunity when the opponent rearranges their formation and slows down their offensive.
Under the guidance of his two kingdom generals, Bert and Ju Bai, Lei Xiao quickly deployed 200 second-order fire magic cannons on the city wall.
Among them, 100 doors came from the mountain fortress and were taken away by Lei Xiao before he left, while the other 100 doors were what was left with him before.
In other words, currently, the mountain fortress and the forest edge fortress each have deployed 200 second-order fire-based magic cannons.
Of course, although the current 400 magic cannons are all used by the Lengyan Army here, the coach Bai Lao is not yet a subordinate of Lei Xiao.
Therefore, when Lei Xiao left here, he naturally had to take them all away.
After all, no one knows how the situation will change in the future.
If those princes try to use their ideas on themselves again, they will be shooting themselves in the foot.
Lei Xiao knew this very well.
"By the way, Your Excellency, when I and Your Highness the Princess arrived just now, they found that the opponent's magic cannons were quite large in number. It seems that they must have gathered all the remaining magic cannons from the defeated long-range legion."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, Mr. Bai beside him, his old face was full of gratitude.
He added: "Fortunately, you have just deployed a large number of second-order fire cannons with precious magic energy light crystals here. Otherwise, our side would have been completely suppressed by the two enemy legions attacking the city.
"
"Old General Bai, there is no need to be polite. As I said before, if you want to thank me, just thank the dear fifth princess."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao thought for a moment, and then asked the old man in white heavy armor in front of him: "Old General Bai, at this stage, do you think that in the face of the fierce siege of the two Holy Night Legions, this forest fortress
Is there any danger?"
"If you had not deployed the magic cannon, there would definitely be danger here. After all, the long-range power here is relatively weak. There are only two brigades of archers and magicians, three brigades of cavalry, and five brigades of infantry. Moreover,
Basically, they are ordinary garrison troops with first-level strength."
I saw Mr. Bai gently stroking his gray beard as he muttered: "And among the other two legions, if it is not what I expected, there are at least three fourth-level experts hidden, and more than thirty third-level experts."
Strong men, and more than a thousand second-level elite soldiers."
"That's right, although the opponent only has two legions, in terms of combat strength, they are probably close to the size of the four legions here."
On the other side, Ariel nodded thoughtfully.
At this time, when I saw the delicate and fair-skinned Princess Lengyan, with her long eyelashes twinkling, I couldn't help but feel a little scared.
This huge disparity in combat power, coupled with the Griffin Knight Squadron just now, the disappeared eighth legion and the strong men of the Dark Devouring Society...
If these terrifying trump cards are used by the opponent at the same time, then this forest edge fortress will be destroyed on the spot in the blink of an eye.
At that time, not only will the defenders here be completely annihilated, but the favorable situation of being at odds with the mountain fortress will also be broken by the other side.
"Fortunately, the three trump cards of the Holy Night Army mentioned above have all been defeated by that guy, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
Thinking of this with some lingering fear, Ariel couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief as her towering chest rose and fell.
"However, I am still worried about one thing."
Only Bai Lao's somewhat solemn voice was heard again.
"That is, if the old red devil knows the final double trump card: the disappeared eighth legion and the powerful members of the Dark Devouring Society have been repelled and wiped out by us, I am afraid that he will be furious and attack this place.
Forest Fortress."
After a pause, the vertical and horizontal wrinkles on Lao Bai's brow deepened, and he continued: "At that time, even if we can defend this place, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties."
"Old general, there is no need to worry. As I just said, don't forget that we still have the last step to use the trick."
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao responded: "As long as the opponent's camp and granary can be burned to the ground, everything will be solved naturally."
"I see, what you said is absolutely true."
Nodding thoughtfully, Mr. Bai immediately relaxed his frown and said: "Even if the old red devil intends to die with this place, as long as his camp is destroyed, the other side's soldiers will definitely lose their will to fight. By then,
We can’t let him continue to act recklessly!”
"And when the opponent retreats, as long as the warriors from my three fortresses of Leng Yan all come out at once, the overall situation will naturally be decided!"
On the other side, Ariel blinked her starry eyes and said excitedly.
Just when the three of them were talking about this.
In the half-open door of the warehouse not far away, a burly figure exuding a terrifying aura flashed out of it and landed directly in front of Lei Xiao. He bowed and said: "Master Qi, the other party's soldiers,
Except for those who escaped back to the underground tunnels, they have all been wiped out by my subordinates and Hong Ye."
Needless to say, what emerged was the thick stubble of knotweed that appeared on the rough face.
He saw that the knotweed on his body was almost spotless, still maintaining a bowed posture, and continued: "Currently, Hongye is checking the situation in the underground tunnel."
“Very well done.”
Reaching out and patting Huzhang's arm, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
At the same time, in the sky above, there was a slightly sharp roar of monsters.
A sky pterosaur carrying a silver-armored sky knight, gently vibrating its slender leather wings, had fallen from the sky and landed steadily in front of Lei Xiao.
Immediately afterwards, the knight easily jumped off the back of the pterodactyl. While taking off his helmet, revealing a resolute face full of beards, he knelt down on one knee to Lei Xiao and said, "See you, sir!"
"Good job, Sean."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao lowered his body and helped the other person up, and then asked: "How is the cleaning situation on the battlefield?"
After annihilating the opponent's Griffin Knight squadron, the reason why Sean and others immediately lost track of them was naturally because Lei Xiao ordered him to lead the team to clean up the air combat battlefield where they fell.
These gryphon knights are equipped with excellent equipment of the third level. If they can obtain some, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the territory.
More importantly, Lei Xiao was quite interested in the alchemy bomb.
"Sir, because the air battle below is full of mountains and forests, and the terrain is extremely complicated, so in a hurry, my subordinates and others found a total of thirty intact third-level lances, and six of these."
"Sir, according to the observation of my subordinates, the opponent should be equipped with storage rings only with commanders above the level of squad leader. If necessary, they can be distributed to other pterodactyl knights."
Having said this, Sean carefully took out six intact storage rings from the cracks of the breastplate.
"I see."
Looking at the several strange metal rings that exuded bright golden light in front of him, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and then began to identify their owners with energy.
The next second, a series of familiar prompts rang in his ears.
[Congratulations, the binding is successful! You have become the new owner of "Eye of the Sacred Fall (Level 3? Excellent)"! 】
[Congratulations, the binding is successful! You have become the "Eye of the Holy Fall (Level 3? Excellent)"...]
…
"Six identical third-level storage rings? Another big gain."
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao immediately began to sense.
It was discovered that there was only one item in this ring, which was a large number of alchemical bombs.
Moreover, there are hundreds of rings in each ring.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and a heavy, crystal clear sphere that he could barely grasp appeared on his palm.
Upon closer inspection, you can see that there is a mixture of red and orange magic radiance flowing in this object, and a black skull logo is engraved on it, which looks extremely easy to understand.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao opened the attribute bar of the sphere in his hand.
[Name: Alchemy Bomb (Fire)]
[Grade: Second level? Excellent (green)]
[Effect: Range damage]
[Remarks: This is an alchemy bomb refined by a senior alchemist. There are three ways to trigger it. One is to inject a ray of energy into it; the other is to be thrown from a high altitude; the third is to be triggered by the opponent's magic.
Or hit by an arrow, as for the absolutely safe way to store it, it is to put it in your storage space.】
"It's also an easy-to-understand remark. No wonder Xueya and Fasha emphasized its instability."
Pouring his lips slightly, Lei Xiao thought to himself: "However, this also provides me with a lot of ammunition. It seems that my team of pterosaur knights can also be called a bomber team!"
Without hesitation, Lei Xiao first turned around and walked into the warehouse, accompanied by Hu Zhi.
After some fussing, all the alchemy bombs were thrown into the space bracelet and the upgrade started.
After all, this thing doesn't take up much space, so accommodating it all won't be a problem.
Immediately, the prompt sounded again.
[Congratulations, your 300 "Second-Level Alchemy Bombs: Fire" have been upgraded to 32,000 "Second-Level Alchemy Bombs: Fire"! 】
[Congratulations, your 300 "Second-Level Alchemy Bombs: Fire" have been upgraded to 300 "Level-3 Alchemy Bombs: Fire"! 】
"It's perfect. As for the six storage rings and those third-level lances, just wait to upgrade them together with other trophies."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao first took out ten upgraded [Epises of the Sacred Fall], and after identifying the master with energy, he made another round of ins and outs.
Each storage ring contains a full capacity of 500 second-level alchemy bombs.
After completing all of this, Lei Xiao, holding a storage ring in his hand, wiped away the energy he had just injected, turning these storage rings into ownerless things again, and walked out of the warehouse.
Next, he handed the ten storage rings to Sean, the captain of the Winged Dragon Knight, and motioned for them to be distributed.
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and then said: "I have a more brilliant plan than before on how to attack the opponent's camp and granary..."
Just like that, after some detailed arrangements.
Lei Xiao finally confirmed the two waves of air and ground forces and acted together.
First of all, the air force, naturally Sean and the other ten pterodactyl knights, launched a wave of bombings.
After all, each person has 500 alchemical bombs, which means a total of 5,000 bombs, which must be inexhaustible.
Finally, the ground force consisted of Huzhang and Bert who were present, as well as Ye Cang and Chao Yan who were on the way. After the bombing was over, they would clear out the remaining forces of the Holy Night garrison.
Bert, who happens to be a general of the kingdom and is familiar with Holy Night, can also provide some offensive suggestions. As a great fire magician, Chao Yan is a good opportunity to use his flame expertise.
"Old General Bai, I wonder if this arrangement is appropriate?"
Just when the subordinates were about to take action, Lei Xiao turned around and said to the white-armored old man beside him.
"It can only be described as perfect."
Nodding to Lei Xiao, Old Bai stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that old red devil would never have thought that his squadron of gryphon knights would be bombed by us instead of using it."
"In that case, let's get started."
With a slight smile, Lei Xiao gave the order to set off at the same time to Sean, the person in charge of the air attack, and Hu Zhi, the person in charge of the ground attack.
When the subordinates flashed away, Lei Xiao immediately said to Old Bai next to him: "General Bai, I leave the defense of this forest-side fortress to you. I will take people to the warehouse to see the secrets of the Holy Night Army.
What kind of tunnel did we come in from?"
"I understand, leave it to me."
After straightening the shining white armor on his body, Bai Lao nodded, then looked at Ariel who was already walking towards Lei Xiao, and continued: "Then please leave it to your Majesty, Your Highness the Princess."
"Do not worry."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao first ordered Lin, Nan Xing and Nan Yue to continue resting where they were, and then took Ju Bai, Ariel, and Bai Wei back to the arms warehouse behind him.
