At the same time that Lei Xiao was secretly dispatching troops and generals in Kyle Castle.
At the core of the triple defense circle of Kell Castle, in the hall of the city lord's palace in the inner city of Kell Castle, a white-haired old man with a stern expression was sitting upright, tapping the armrest of the throne with his fingers.
.
This person is none other than Leonard, the city lord of Kelburg.
Leonard, who came from a traditional aristocratic background, is very famous in the aristocratic circle, and his strength is at the fourth level and eight stars.
As a former general of the kingdom, he was famous for his brutality. He was a type who would do anything to win. Not only did his opponents fear him, but even the soldiers under his command were extremely afraid.
At that time, he had a similar friend, Ryan, who was also a general of the kingdom. The latter eventually died at the hands of Burt, which had also appeared in Burt's narration before.
The most important thing is that although Leonard is loyal to the eldest prince on the surface, he has actually been secretly carrying out the orders of the fourth prince.
Not long ago, the reason why the eldest prince and the second prince were suddenly rebelled by the nobles was closely related to Leonard's secret wooing.
After the Fourth Prince successfully emerged from hibernation, Leonard, who came from behind the scenes to the stage, naturally became the Fourth Prince's chief lackey.
It is for this reason that the fourth prince still entrusted Leonard with the responsibility of such an important military location as Kelburg.
In the castle hall filled with hostility, in addition to Leonard, who was firmly seated at the top, there were two middle-aged commanders standing at the bottom who were filled with powerful aura.
The two commanders were skinny and the other was burly. The skinny one was wearing a blue robe and the pterodactyl emblem on his chest was very eye-catching, while the burly one was wearing silver armor and the terrain dragon emblem on his chest was equally eye-catching.
.
At this point, it is self-evident that the identities of the two men are commanders from the Lancaster family and the Yorkman family.
Since the four forces gathered in Kyle Castle, except for the 150,000 noble coalition forces under Leonard's direct command, the other three wealthy families all followed the instructions of their respective heads.
Although doing this seems a bit complicated, because the fourth prince has been staying with the wealthy family heads to plan together, there will not be any scheduling problems.
"Both of you, according to His Highness's orders, the Yorkman family, the Lancaster family, and the coalition of nobles under my command have all secretly monitored and deployed forces at the Phytolacca family's residence. What's the latest situation?"
Leonard stopped tapping, propped up his old face with one hand, and asked the two commanders at the bottom.
"Please rest assured, City Lord, our Lancaster family has just completed the deployment."
The skinny middle-aged commander in a blue robe took a step forward and said disdainfully: "The army of the Phytolacca family is just a bunch of rabble. The edge of my Lancaster sword will reach the nose of the Phytolacca family.
Even though the other party didn’t even notice it, it’s really laughable!”
This person's name is Aubrey, his strength is at level four and seven stars. He is the youngest elder of the Lancaster family and one of the deputy commanders of the Lancaster family's army.
"It is indeed the Lancaster family that has shocked the Kingdom of Grim with its power."
Leonard nodded to Aubrey, then turned to the burly commander and said, "General Barrow, what's the situation with the Yorkman family?"
"Your Excellency City Lord, our Yorkman family has also completed all arrangements."
The commander of the Yorkman family named Barrow nodded slightly and said with contempt: "Although the merchant family has a large number of people, they are just stags. How dare they jump in front of my dragon? Unless they
Tired of living."
Barrow, like Aubrey, is the leader of the backbone of the clan, and his strength is also at the fourth level and seven stars.
"What a reassuring answer."
Hearing Barrow's confident voice, Leonard nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "In this way, everything is under our control."
"Having said that, regardless of whether Han Shui, the head of the merchant land, who has the right time, place and people, will lose to the despicable alien, what if the alien really controls the merchant army?"
Aubrey shook off the dust on his robe, and still said disdainfully: "Does the other party dare to make trouble in Castle Castle directly under our noses? Even if we lend them 10,000 courage,
Those sissy commanders from the family's pokeweed family don't dare to do this either."
"That's right, it's just a group of dandies and cowards who are strong on the outside and capable on the inside. They are like an insignificant deer. I, the general, can easily break the opponent's ribs with a single finger."
Barrow stretched out his generous palm and made a gesture of squeezing a mosquito, with a look of contempt on his face: "Not to mention those alien lords who are not even as good as free farmers. I have personally conquered many despicable alien worlds.
Human territory.”
At this point, the murderous burly commander of the Yorkman family shook his head again and said: "I have to say, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is really too cautious, and actually allowed us to secretly deploy to this extent.
.”
"That's right. Our Lancaster family has specially deployed a secret weapon. Once someone really tries to win over the Merchant Army in the city, our Lancaster family will get the news as soon as possible."
Aubrey gently stroked the beard on his chin and said confidently: "As long as the despicable alien makes any changes, nothing will escape the ears of the Lancaster family. By then, the only thing waiting for them will undoubtedly be death."
"They are indeed the two top wealthy families in our Leng Yan Kingdom. I admire their arrogance to the utmost."
Leonard first followed the words of the two and complimented them a few times, then raised his eyebrows and said: "But it is always right to be cautious, although I don't believe what else the despicable alien can do.
Come on, come up with tricks."
"That despicable alien just met a bunch of rabble before, and he was lucky enough to win a few times."
Barrow crossed his arms in front of his chest and said with disdain and murderous intent on his face: "This time, our Yorkman family must let the despicable aliens see what real war is."
"I, the Lancaster family, naturally do not give in too much."
Aubrey still had a fearless look on his face, and said contemptuously: "As for the Phytolacca family, they can still survive by being used as cannon fodder for me. If they dare to have different intentions, my Lancaster family will not mind letting the Cold Flame Kingdom
The three largest wealthy families in China have become two.”
"Haha, your words are indeed reassuring."
After hearing the words of the two commanders at the bottom, Leonard's old face was full of smiles and he nodded slightly: "I believe that as long as there are two of them here, Fort Kelley will be impregnable."
Despite what he said, Leonard understood clearly in his heart.
As the saying goes, a proud army will be defeated. Although the Lancaster family and the Yorkman family are extremely powerful, they have the capital to stand out from the rest.
But if you underestimate the enemy too much, it may make an otherwise unsuspicious war more complicated.
"I must report this to His Highness later, and warn the Lancaster and Yorkman clans not to be too proud and underestimate the enemy. Otherwise, even if they win the final victory, they will pay several times the price."
Thinking of this in his mind, Leonard rolled his eyes and vaguely reminded the two commanders at the bottom: "In short, those despicable aliens can always take things by surprise. It's better for us to act cautiously."
"Don't worry, Your Excellency the City Lord, we have all been struggling on the battlefield until we reach this day, just like Your Excellency the City Lord back then."
Aubrey gently stroked his beard and said with a confident look on his face: "As long as that despicable guest dares to take action, his body must be destroyed."
"It makes sense. According to this general, the other party will not cause trouble in the city at all."
Barrow nodded, then said with a teasing smile: "Because whether it's that insignificant and despicable alien or the sissies of the Shanglu family, they don't have the courage at all!"
"That's right. If they really saw me and others, I'm afraid they would wet their pants."
Aubrey followed and laughed with Barrow.
Just as the two people's unbridled contemptuous laughter filled the entire hall.
A change has occurred.
Without any warning, bursts of faint explosions began to sound continuously.
Judging from the distance of the sound, although the explosion did not affect the core inner city, the central city and the outer city were both greatly affected.
"There were such dense explosions in the city? What exactly happened?"
The arrogant laughter stopped abruptly.
Not only Leonard, but also Aubrey and Barrow, who had looked disdainful just now, were full of surprise and began to use secret communication methods to obtain the latest news.
"What? All the granaries and armories in the outer city and the central part are on fire? And there is black smoke everywhere in the city, and you can't see anything clearly?"
"Are you saying that there have been inexplicable explosions around many of my Lancaster city stations?"
"There are fires all around Yorkman's station? What a waste! Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and put out the fires!"
Facing the constant explosions, although the three of them became more nervous and confused as they listened, there was never a trace of panic on their faces, and they began to analyze calmly.
The scope of the explosion was all concentrated around the important military facilities in the city and the soldiers' stations, and there was thick smoke billowing from them. There is no doubt about this.
While deploying to put out the fire, the three soon discovered an annoying fact.
That is the station shrouded in black mist. Only the Lancaster family, the Yorkman family, and the coalition of fallen nobles, but the Shangluc family's station were not affected at all.
An unknown thought poured into the minds of the three of them almost at the same time.
All this must be the fault of the Phytococcus family. As for why the other party did this, the answer is even more obvious.
The Shangluc family has rebelled, and there is only one reason for this.
That is to disrupt the surveillance and deployment of the other two powerful families and the coalition of fallen nobles, take the opportunity to gather together, twist into a rope, and then make a decision before taking action!
"Jeff, that chubby bastard, what the hell is he doing?!"
There was no time to think about anything else. Aubrey had an angry look on his face and used the secret communication method to yell at the subordinate army commanders: "Don't worry about the smoke anymore. Hurry up and stop the Phytolacca family's army. Be sure to prevent them from joining together.
The war has begun!"
Barrow and Leonard also issued the same order, and the three commanders' mad roars continued to fill the hall.
When the roaring gradually subsided, the three people, who were already sweating profusely and looking quite embarrassed, realized it belatedly.
The despicable alien they called insignificant was obviously much more difficult to deal with than imagined.
Just as the three of them wiped the sweat from their foreheads and began to report to their respective masters non-stop.
In the hiding place outside Kyle Castle, Lei Xiao looked up at the thick smoke rising in the city and nodded with satisfaction.
All this is Lei Xiao's deployment.
After contacting Cole, Corwin, Baz, and other army commanders in the city, Lei Xiao learned.
The other three forces in the city have already quietly formed a siege to the Shangluc family's residence to a considerable extent.
As for our legion commanders, although most of them were aware of it, they did not say anything because they felt inexplicable.
At this point, the situation is self-evident.
This is obviously the fourth prince's backup measure in case our command of the Merchant Army changes.
It is conceivable that once the enemy discovers the clues, the many legions of the Merchant Family will definitely be divided and annihilated.
In this case, Lei Xiao came up with the idea of fire attack.
However, the core of this fire attack was not to destroy the opponent, but to disrupt the opponent's actions and interfere with the opponent's line of sight, so as to facilitate the assembly of the Merchant Army.
As for the implementation method, it is naturally the work of the magicians of the Phytolacca family.
Of course, Xiao Huan and other four illusionists also showed their talents, which played a considerable role in local confusion.
"Your Majesty, your Excellency, the 15 legions located in the outer city and the 10 legions located in the central area have all been assembled in groups of 5 legions according to your instructions!"
After a while, Keen's excited old voice reached Lei Xiao's ears.
"During this process, although the other side intercepted and set up roadblocks, small-scale battles broke out."
"But due to the pincer attack and assembly method adopted by Your Excellency Keqing, coupled with the speed of the soldiers and the cover of the thick smoke, everything went very smoothly!"
After hearing Keen's words, the subordinates and other elders around Lei Xiao all looked excited and cheered.
This undoubtedly means that the Lord's first step in tearing apart the curtain went very smoothly.
Our legions, which were originally divided across the city, have successfully gathered into five powerful forces, ready to go at any time, taking control of the initiative in the war.
But the opponent was like a headless fly, still running around in the city filled with black smoke!
"Now that we have successfully torn apart the curtain of war, it is time for our opponents to have a taste of our power."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, then waved his hand and said: "Just follow the plan."
"As you command!"
Everyone present respectfully touched their chests and saluted, saying in unison.
