Thick smoke and salty sea breeze poured into the cockpit through the hole in the roof, making everything roar.
Prince Yaoguang Lawrence looked at Lei Xiao who was getting closer and closer, and his lips began to tremble uncontrollably.
From the latter's smiling face, the old prince of the Kingdom of Grim could feel the piercing murderous intent.
He had no doubt that if he said the word "no", he would end up being fed to fish.
Frightened and knowing that he had no way out, Lawrence could only lower his head towards Lei Xiao and said feebly: "His Royal Highness, the Holy Lion Prince, I am also willing to lead the fleet of the Kingdom of Grim to lay down their weapons. Please, Your Highness, please be lenient!"
"Very good, then give the order immediately."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said expressionlessly to the two top maritime commanders: "While I haven't changed my mind yet."
Upon hearing this, Lennox and Lawrence nodded repeatedly, immediately activated their respective communication arrays, and began to order other ships trying to escape to stop.
On the sea full of flames, after our powerful and devastating blow, the other ships had completely lost their fighting spirit. After hearing the orders from the two, they immediately responded one after another, raised their white flags, and parked quietly.
On the sea.
At this point, the originally turbulent sea soon returned to calm, with only gunpowder smoke and broken shipwrecks still floating around.
Not long after, Lei Xiao received a report that the entire scene had been completely controlled.
"Your Majesty the Queen, then everything will be left to you."
Seeing that everything was basically settled, Lei Xiao smiled at Wei Wei.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will send people to escort all these surrendered soldiers and warships back to the Iron Hand Islands. Once they reach my territory, they will be unable to fly."
Catherine's fair face was full of excitement, she nodded heavily to Lei Xiao and said: "At the same time, I will control the entire waterway as soon as possible, and immediately start the landing operation against the Kingdom of Grim and the Pars Empire!
"
"Then thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty the Queen."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and focused his attention on Lawrence and Lennox again.
As for the latter two, I heard Lei Xiao and Catherine's next plan.
But as prisoners, they obviously no longer have the energy to care about anything else. They just slumped on the ground without saying a word, feeling worried and afraid of their next situation.
"Your Majesty, these two people must be closely guarded. I will be of great use later."
Lei Xiao withdrew his gaze, nodded to Catherine again and said: "Everything here will be left to Her Majesty the Queen."
Before Catherine could reply, Louise rolled up her sleeves and walked over, eagerly saying: "Prince of the human race, I haven't had enough fights yet. Please take me to continue playing!"
"Don't worry, I was already gathering the team just now. We'll set off as soon as everyone arrives."
As Lei Xiao's words fell, figures exuding astonishing momentum fell into the cockpit one after another, and stood behind Lei Xiao. It was Huzhang, Hongye and other subordinates who had rushed back.
At the same time, Prince Valentin of the Spirit Wand also arrived by boat with the powerful vampires, and escorted Lawrence, Lennox, and other enemy generals and soldiers back.
When everyone arrived, Lei Xiao nodded to Jiang Lei after saying hello to Catherine.
However, what happened next was something Lei Xiao didn't expect.
The gray light curtain surrounding a group of people had just risen, but quickly dimmed. Obviously, the transmission was not successful.
"Huh?"
As a spell caster, Jiang Li was confused and concentrated on casting the spell again, but it still ended in failure.
"Lord, hundreds of space beacons in the Cold Flame Kingdom have all failed inexplicably."
A moment later, Jiang Li's surprised voice reached Lei Xiao's ears.
Hearing this, not only Lei Xiao himself, but also Louise and other main subordinates standing in the teleportation circle, as well as Scarlet Queen Catherine who was seeing him off, all had unexpected expressions of surprise.
If one or two space beacons fail, it may still be within the normal range, but with so many space beacons failing at the same time, something is obviously strange.
"No, the enemy must have done something while we were away from Leng Yan's country."
An unknown thought suddenly rushed into Lei Xiao's mind.
Before launching the attack on the alliance fleets of the Kingdom of Grim and the Pars Empire, Lei Xiao received news from Sunset Fortress, Buluo Fortress, and Luolong City.
The Kingdom of Grim, the Pars Empire and the Orc army have already arrived at the city and launched attacks on the three places almost at the same time.
However, due to the extremely sufficient preparations in the three places, Sunset Fortress is stationed by Kingdom generals such as Isaac and Bert, Buluo Fortress is stationed by Qiduo, Binglao, and Caroline, and Luolong City is also stationed by Benson, Hong
The Stone and Alchemy Legion and other troops were stationed there.
In addition, Ariel, who is holding Jiang Li's special teleportation scroll, can instantly go to any fortress to boost morale, so Lei Xiao is very relieved.
After all, only by destroying the opponent's Alliance fleet together with Catherine can we see hope of breaking the situation.
"Thinking about it carefully, after receiving news of the attack from three locations, I didn't receive any more news. If there has been a huge change in the Cold Flame Kingdom, there is no way I will not get any news."
While feeling uneasy, Lei Xiao's brain was running rapidly.
"Could it be that the other party not only used some means to block the transmission network of the Cold Flame Kingdom, but also stopped the news from getting out?"
Lei Xiao took a breath of cold air and immediately tried to use the word recitation.
As expected, except for all the subordinates present, the connection can be successfully connected.
All the subordinates inside the Cold Flame Kingdom, whether they are in the territory or in various fortresses, including Erza and others near the Eternal Sleep Canyon, are all in a state of disconnection that cannot be reached.
What surprised Lei Xiao even more was that his return crystal and teleportation crystal couldn't be used.
"You can't use space beacons and teleportation crystals to arrive, and you can't make calls. Does that mean the entire Cold Flame Kingdom has become an isolated island?"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's forehead began to sweat like rain.
It is actually able to completely cut off the entire Cold Flame Kingdom from the outside world. It is simply unimaginable how the opponent did it.
But what is certain is that the mastermind behind all this must be the Black Abyss Brotherhood.
"It seems that the other party has completely shown off its cards. By making such a big noise, the mysterious neutral organization that has been hiding behind it must have surfaced."
"So, the opponents I am currently facing, in addition to the three-pronged army of destroying the country, may also include the forces under the command of the mysterious neutral organization that has been dormant for a long time. This is simply adding fuel to the fire."
After coming to this conclusion, Lei Xiao began to feel more and more uneasy.
Now I don’t know anything about what is happening in the Cold Flame Kingdom.
This feeling of being completely out of your control is a little too disorienting.
"The only thing that is certain now is that since the opponent has shown his cards, he must be sure to put me and the entire Cold Flame Kingdom to death. The top priority is to return to the Cold Flame Kingdom as soon as possible to find out what happened."
Just when Lei Xiao sorted everything out in a few seconds, the long-lost private message suddenly rang.
Lei Xiao immediately opened the private message interface and found that the person who sent the message was Qin Qian.
"Brother Xiaoshen, where are you? Now the Cold Flame Kingdom is in chaos!
I don’t know why, but since I can’t connect to your voice chat, I can only tell you by typing.
The Lords of the Xiaoshen Regiment located in Sunset Fortress, Buluo Fortress, Luolong City and Shanbao Fortress have sent messages one after another, saying that the four fortresses are not only facing attacks from foreign enemies, but also there are extremely fierce shouts of killing inside.
In a shaky state!
In addition, even the lords of the Xiaoshen Regiment located around the Royal Capital and the Demonic Shadow Forest have sent news, saying that the territories of the Royal Capital and Xiaoshen Boss are also filled with smoke, and it seems that they have been attacked by unknown forces!"
Looking at the content of Qin Qian's private message, which contained a lot of information, Lei Xiao's palms were already soaked with sweat.
Sunset Fortress, Buluo Fortress and Luolong City are facing strong enemies, which is something he already knows. The territory and the royal capital may be attacked, which is within his expectation.
But why is the mountain fortress also under attack? Could it be that something unexpected happened to the "Lost Path" illusion magic circle, Xiao Huan, Erza and others?
The most important thing is, why are the interiors of each of our fortresses rife with weapons?
You know, inside the fortress where hundreds of thousands of soldiers are stationed, even a fifth-level powerhouse has absolutely no chance of causing any trouble, and it is no different than committing suicide.
What's more, these fortresses on our side are not guarded by absolute defensive barriers, and outsiders cannot enter at all, or they are guarded by alchemy puppet commanders such as Qiduo, Binglao, and John. How could there be extremely fierce killing cries?
Voice?
For a moment, Lei Xiao felt that his mind was in a mess, but he quickly calmed down and regained his composure.
Beside Lei Xiao, Catherine looked at the sight of the former looking blankly in the air while reading a private message, and quickly asked: "Your Highness, what happened?"
After Catherine finished speaking, Louise also looked extremely curious, blinking at Lei Xiao with starry eyes.
"I don't know, but the situation seems to be very difficult."
Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath, and then ordered Jiang Li: "Get ready to go to the nearest space beacon node of the Kingdom of Grim. Let's rush to the Sunset Fortress."
After saying that, Lei Xiao nodded to Catherine and said: "Your Majesty, I leave this to you. If there is any latest news, I will inform you as soon as possible."
As soon as Lei Xiao finished speaking, the group of people disappeared into the cabin, leaving only Catherine and Prince Valentin of the Spirit Wand, who began to look at each other in confusion.
Even though the cabin was already extremely empty, the two of them could still feel a strong sense of uneasiness permeating the air.
"We just have to follow the plan."
After a while, Catherine recovered from her shock and said to the worried Valentin: "Don't worry, I believe he will get through the difficulties, and he will have the help of the True Ancestor."
After hearing Catherine's determined words, the worry on Valentin's pale face eased, and he nodded heavily.
Time went back not long ago, when Lei Xiao and Catherine were working together to attack the opponent's Maritime Alliance fleet, but on the wall of the Sunset Fortress, there was a different look.
I saw Ariel wearing a crown, surrounded by our generals such as Wu, Isaac, and Bert, looking at the overwhelming army of the Kingdom of Grim that was making a comeback below the city, and frowned slightly.
Although the Kingdom of Grim had just experienced a major defeat yesterday, judging from the strict military formation and overwhelming momentum, it was obvious that it was not greatly affected, but rather had a more ferocious aura.
"Your Majesty, it seems that Holy King William has blinded the eyes of the soldiers with the thought of revenge. I am afraid that tonight will still be a thrilling and hard battle."
There was a rare solemnity in Wu's voice, and he raised his chest and saluted Ariel.
"He once said that since we have defeated our opponent once, we can still defeat him a second time."
Ariel's delicate face was full of solemnity, and she immediately ordered to the generals behind her: "Everyone get to their posts, let these intruders have a taste of our power!"
After hearing Ariel's order, the entire city wall instantly entered a state of war. The archers prepared their bows and arrows, and the magic gunners were also ready to fire at any time, creating a tense atmosphere.
However, the menacing invading army from the Kingdom of Grim below the city did not attack the city directly this time. Instead, it stopped outside the range of both sides and did not continue to move forward.
"Your Majesty the Queen, it seems that the other party is waiting for something."
Wu keenly noticed the clues, and there was a hint of doubt in his words: "The other party should seize the opportunity to attack the city while taking advantage of the momentum of revenge. This is obviously not in line with common sense."
"No matter what the opponent wants to do, as long as the absolute defensive barrier covering here is impregnable, we will be invincible."
Ariel's starry eyes were full of determination and she nodded heavily.
She clearly understood that the lord was fighting with all his strength on the distant sea, so before the lord returned, even if she gave everything she had, she would never let the Cold Flame Kingdom suffer.
When Ariel thought of this, no one noticed.
A completely transparent giant light pillar slowly rose from the nearest Cold Flame City behind the Sunset Fortress, and then went vertically into the sky together with the transparent giant light pillars of other surrounding Cold Flame cities.
Accompanied by hundreds of giant light pillars that were completely undetectable, they quietly appeared in various places in the Cold Flame Kingdom.
Not long after, the tops of these giant transparent pillars began to spread rapidly around, until they converged with other transparent pillars, forming a huge dome-shaped transparent magic barrier, covering the entire Cold Flame Kingdom.
This transparent magic barrier had just quietly taken shape when Ariel received urgent news from Orr who was staying in the royal capital.
"Her Majesty the Queen, smoke suddenly broke out all over the royal capital, and even within the palace there were unexplained shouts of killing!"
