Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Lei Xiao stood up from the throne and walked towards the open door of the mansion, while continuing to think deeply.
No matter what, at the beginning of this huge battle involving three parties, after my series of coquettish operations, it was indeed a good start.
In the meeting just now, after learning that the eldest prince's vanguard army had been annihilated, the morale of the subordinates was extremely high.
And after learning that the cavalry regiment that the eldest prince was guarding against the second prince had also started fighting with the second prince's vanguard regiment, he was further encouraged.
Coupled with the successful celebration banquet held in Kongqing Town last night, the morale of the soldiers in Kongqing Town was also unprecedentedly high, and their fighting spirit was boiling.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's eyebrows stretched, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
Maintaining high morale at all times is equivalent to maintaining high fighting spirit, which is the foundation of victory.
"By the way, according to the latest information I have, apart from the two legions currently in harm's way near Kongqing Town, the 50,000-strong Prince's main force consists of 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry."
"And the second prince's main force is also 50,000 people, and the configuration is almost the same as that of the first prince."
Walking straight to the sunny outdoors, Lei Xiao felt the warmth projected by the two suns and continued to think.
"Behind these main forces, the two forces each have an infantry legion behind them. This means that the total strength of both sides combined is 120,000, which is equivalent to at least twelve fifth-level experts.
of fighting power."
"This estimate is still extremely conservative. After all, even an ordinary legion, in addition to ordinary first-level soldiers, also has second-level elite forces, third-level middle and senior management, and even fourth-level strong men.
The overall combat power is far greater than that of a fifth-level powerhouse."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's brows couldn't help but frown again.
Although the power of both has been weakened, as I just thought, for the current territory, such huge strength still means extreme danger.
It is no exaggeration to say that once any of these forces attacks the territory with all its strength, it will mean a catastrophe.
Even if you use all your cards and try your best to destroy one force, the other force will definitely benefit.
Therefore, how to balance the two forces back and forth is the key to this war.
"Besides that, there's one more thing I need to consider."
Walking in the territory with a strong atmosphere of murder, Lei Xiao looked at the patrol soldiers with solemn and nervous expressions around him, and thought to himself in his heart.
"That's how to quickly seize the enemy's territory and seize the opportunity. Otherwise, once the enemies left behind are given a break and recruit new forces, it will be very difficult. After all, in other areas, the two princes still have a lot of effective forces.
Transfers can be made at any time.”
"Only when Ariel controls the entire eastern region of Cold Flame at the fastest speed, can the Ariel I launched truly have the qualifications and capital to compete head-on with the other three princes."
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and continued: "As long as I complete this small goal and integrate the resources of the entire eastern region, whether it is troops, equipment, potions, or wealth, I will undoubtedly receive epic enhancements.
."
"At that time, I will truly have a place of my own in this vast and different world full of unsolved mysteries."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this with great excitement, the reading prompt suddenly sounded.
After the call was connected, Xiaoya's voice came over immediately: "Lord Qi, the losses of the Great Prince's Cavalry Corps have been calculated. More than half of them have been killed or injured. According to the analysis of the remaining cavalry commanders,
The situation of the prince’s vanguard army is not much different.”
"knew."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then asked with concern: "How is it? How can one person stand up to so many murderous strangers and strong men?"
"Back to my lord, my subordinates are fine!"
Xiaoya's energetic yet deliberately low voice reached Lei Xiao's ears again: "Furthermore, the two sisters Nan Xing and Nan Yue have always been by my subordinates' side. Lord, please rest assured!"
"Very good. If nothing else happens, if you launch another wave of attacks before the cavalry legions of the two forces come for reinforcements, your mission will be successfully completed."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "At that time, just evacuate quietly."
"As you command! Lord!"
Xiaoya had just finished speaking, and there was a knock on the door while she was speaking. Xiaoya continued: "I'm sorry, Lord, the commanders are here to report the situation again, so I won't talk about it for now."
"Received, be sure to pay attention to safety at all times."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he stopped talking.
Passing by three shining miraculous buildings, Lei Xiao went straight to the city wall where his subordinates were looking forward to, and began to check the territory's defense.
Looking around, in addition to the long archers, heavy shield shooters and spear warriors who were observing the surroundings attentively, there were also many magicians standing slightly behind the magic cannon, ready to fire at any time.
I saw subordinates with sharp eyes and impressive aura standing tall, their colorful armors complementing the dazzling weapons in their hands, shining dazzlingly in the sun.
Seeing Lei Xiao coming, the subordinates immediately touched their chests, saluted, and lowered their heads respectfully.
Lei Xiao, on the other hand, waved his hand, signaling the subordinates to return to their respective positions, and began to pace slowly on the city wall.
The second-order fire magic cannons on the city wall have been expanded from the original 100 to a full 200, which are controlled by two squadrons of elite magicians in the territory.
The 50 magic cannons on each city wall are enough to completely cover the fan-shaped area in front of the city wall, forming a dense network of magic firepower to deal a thunderous blow to the opponent.
"With a 10-meter-high thick city wall, 200 magic cannons, and these elite direct subordinates, it may not be that easy to capture my territory."
Thinking of this with excitement in his heart, Lei Xiao's eyes moved.
It also fell on the Tower of Vision, which stood tall in the territory. This miraculous building that could release lightning magic was obviously also a good defense method.
"By the way, there is another most critical defensive measure."
Lei Xiao smiled lightly, walked down the city wall, and came to the center between the three miraculous buildings.
The ground here is filled with light blue magical light.
I saw streaks of light blue magic light, either winding, rounded, or angular, forming an extremely large and deep magic pattern. It is exactly the "Pupil of Insight" and "Charming
A place that can form a boundary.
"These two extremely impressive magic barriers come from the magic tower where Chaoyan and Xiaozhu are located. They are of the same origin and are not mutually exclusive. They are both powered by three miraculous buildings."
Looking at the shining and soft blue magic light under his feet, which eventually extended to the three miracle buildings, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
"As the levels of the three miracle buildings continue to increase, their functions have become more powerful. It is naturally not a problem to divert a small amount of magic power to power these two magic barriers."
"But these two magic barriers are not the most important."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and strode to the center of the magic barrier.
There, there is a solid stone trough built with thick stones, inlaid with a large one-meter-square crystal stone that is crystal clear throughout.
Surrounded by two teams of heavily armored guardsmen who looked like cans, they were closely guarding the place.
Waving his hand to signal the soldiers to make way, Lei Xiao walked straight to the crystal stone.
I saw that this exquisite and clear crystal stone was engraved with extremely deep and complex lines, which was obviously extraordinary.
Caressing the smooth and spotless crystal surface, Lei Xiao felt the coolness coming from it and smiled lightly: "This is the ultimate defense method for the territory."
Needless to say, what Lei Xiao touched was the barrier crystal obtained from the Eternal Ship.
This special crystal stone that stores the absolute defensive barrier of "Fortress Wall" has been tested by Lei Xiao before during the offensive and defensive battle of the mountain fortress.
At that time, with the assistance of the mountain fortress's own buffer defense barrier.
Although only Hong Ye, Chao Yan and Ye Cang provided energy, the "wall of the fortress" still perfectly blocked two rounds of bombardment by a total of 150 magic cannons from the Holy Night Army.
"Although Chao Yan and Ye Cang's magic powers were almost drained later, the defensive effect they had was unquestionable."
Lei Xiao nodded excitedly and murmured to himself.
"And within the territory, even though it lacks the support of the buffer barrier, it has the auxiliary energy supply of three miracle buildings. If Hong Ye also takes action, it must be able to withstand the opponent's full attack for a while, right?"
"Taking advantage of this period of time, our crazy output will undoubtedly cause a lot of losses to our opponents."
Thinking about this in his mind, Lei Xiao left the location of the barrier crystal with the courtesy of the soldiers around him.
"By the way, Vince, who was captured last night, was also "taken care of" by Ye Cang. Although no useful information was obtained, like Baldwin, he is no different from a dead person."
"These two may be useful in the future. I have locked them in a secret dungeon in Kongqing Town and ordered the Great Swordsman Squadron to keep a close watch on them."
Lei Xiao thought this while calling Zhuqi over by reciting words.
"See Lord Lord!"
In a moment, Zhu Qi, dressed in a colorful robe and with her long hair neatly tied back, appeared respectfully in front of Lei Xiao.
"Follow me to the location where the dam is built and have a look."
Lei Xiao nodded to the captain of the magician squadron who was loyal to him, and called over the main subordinates such as Hu Zhi who were standing by.
After a gust of wind and lightning, the travel-worn Lei Xiao and his party appeared at the upper reaches of the Shadow River.
Looking up at the extremely spectacular waterfall, Lei Xiao stood on a boulder, listening to the deafening sound of the water, while feeling the cool water splashing on his face from time to time, and looked towards the lake below the waterfall.
Under the shining of two suns, one large and one small, I saw that the water level of the huge lake below the waterfall had risen a lot, and the large pebble beach that was still exposed before had long since disappeared.
At the end of the lake, at the mouth of the narrow and wide river, a seemingly extremely solid stone dam was built, which blocked a large amount of overflowing river water within the dam.
"Lord, because this river mouth is narrow and surrounded by mountain walls, it did not take a lot of time to build this dam."
Zhuqi lowered her fair face dotted with a few freckles and introduced: "My subordinates have carefully inspected the mountain walls around the river. After years of erosion, they have become extremely fragile. At that time, we only need to remove the dike and the mountain walls."
Defeat all the enemies downstream who attempt to cross the river, and they will be hit by the huge current."
"very good."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and smiled lightly.
"In this way, a trump card comparable to an army has been completed perfectly!" Ariel blinked her long eyelashes and said happily: "As expected of the lord!"
"It's just a small trick." Lei Xiao responded while still maintaining a smile.
Lei Xiao has already deployed a large number of third-level half-elf archers and third-level werewolf warriors at various strategic points around this waterfall.
In addition, the road leading here is extremely rugged and difficult to find. Even the tiger stick, a fifth-level expert, had to spend a lot of effort.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about being discovered by the opponent's spies.
"By the way, according to Bai Zhi and Orson's reports, more than half of the White Knight spies who went deep into the Baibu Mountains and the Shadow Forest have been wiped out."
"However, those guys will use a special contact secret method. Once discovered, they will report it immediately. In addition, they will make secret marks everywhere. These two points are quite tricky."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, his voice prompt sounded again.
What was heard was the rustling voice of Shadow Squadron Commander Fran: "Lord Qi, the main force of the Second Prince has received a report of the attack by the Pioneer Legion, and the two cavalry legions have moved at full speed in the direction of the Pioneer Legion's camp.
!”
"I understand, continue to monitor closely."
Just as Lei Xiao turned off his narration, the rapid murmur prompt sounded again immediately.
This time, it was the voice of Dean, the commander of the Shadow Squadron: "Your Majesty, the two cavalry regiments have just separated from the main force of the prince's force and are speeding towards the direction of Kongqing Town. They are obviously preparing to
Support the crippled cavalry regiment!"
"Understood. If there is any new information, please report it immediately."
He stopped talking again, and a rich smile immediately appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
"As expected, a duel between cavalry and cavalry is about to begin."
