Chapter 1103 The true face of the mysterious organization
Ariel was startled when she heard the murderous intent coming from behind. At the same time, she felt chills running down her spine. She could even feel the strong malevolence surrounding the man in black robe No. 2, making the air thicken.
many.
"Your innocent Majesty, please die for me!"
The palm of the man in black robe No. 2 was filled with black death energy, and he thrust straight into Ariel's unprepared back.
All this happened so suddenly that Ariel had no time to react or even turn her head.
The moment the black-robed man No. 2's deadly black mist knife was about to reach Ariel, a gray halo flashed by, and Ariel's slender body suddenly disappeared in front of the black-robed man No. 2.
The top-heavy feeling flashed away, and when Ariel came back to her senses, a tall figure was already protecting her behind her.
Needless to say, the person who came was none other than Lei Xiao.
After quickly returning to the Sunset Fortress via the nearest city in the Kingdom of Grim, Lei Xiao saw an extremely suffocating sight, exactly as Qin Qian described.
The mighty army of the Kingdom of Grim is surrounding but not attacking, as if they are watching a show, but the Sunset Fortress is full of smoke, and our soldiers are fighting in groups everywhere.
After communicating with Wu, who was trying his best to quell the internal disputes, and other commanders and subordinates, Lei Xiao quickly figured out that everything was caused by the soldiers with golden eyes who suddenly went crazy.
The crazy soldiers are evenly distributed among most of our forces, including the Lancaster Family Legion, the Royal Legion, and the Recruit Legion. Only the Lords Legion has no mutations.
What's more critical is that these golden-eyed soldiers did not have any warning before going crazy. They were located in various defensive positions throughout the fortress, including the city walls. This caused the Sunset Fortress to become chaotic in an instant.
As for the number of crazy soldiers, they only account for about 20% of the total soldiers. Although the number seems limited, our military base is relatively large after all. The Sunset Fortress alone has more than 100,000 crazy soldiers, which can be seen from this.
After the incident happened, although Wu et al. immediately tried their best to stop it and completely blocked all important buildings and facilities including the magic tower, city gates, granaries, and armories.
However, despite the frantic soldiers rushing forward without fear of life or death, the situation was still difficult to control for a while.
At this point, the situation is very obvious.
As long as these golden-eyed soldiers are suppressed and the source of their control is found, everything will be solved.
Although it sounds simple, Lei Xiao understands it clearly.
The crazy place is not only Sunset Fortress, but also Buluo Fortress, Luolong City, and even the Mountain Fort Fortress, which is already extremely weak in defense.
In addition, Lei Xiao also learned more.
The entire Cold Flame Kingdom seems to be isolated by an unknown barrier, but the interior is still unimpeded. Although the reason why the other party does this is not known, at least it will not hinder the use of teleportation and chanting.
After initially figuring out the problem, Lei Xiao naturally wouldn't stay at one location in Sunset Fortress for too long.
Instead, after leaving Louise, Chao Yan, Bai Wei and several other strong players to assist in the defense, they headed to other places without stopping.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that as long as one part of the city was broken, the only way that awaited him and the entire Cold Flame Kingdom would be destruction.
So the solution is still the same as before, first put the main strong men in various places to try to slow down the destructive power of the crazy soldiers, and then find the cause of the madness as soon as possible.
The second stop is the Fortress of No Fall.
It's much more miserable here than Sunset Fortress, with heavy snowfall, but it still can't hide the strong smell of gunpowder smoke and blood in the air.
The interior of Fuluo Fortress was not only in chaos, but the Pars Empire's army had already begun to attack the city.
Fortunately, Crystal Blue City and Ice Stone City, the two sacred places, stood in front of the Fortress. They relied on their newly restored absolute defense barriers to compete with the other party's army, and thus managed to maintain the battle situation.
In addition, Lei Xiao also noticed further.
Needless to say, the battle dolls such as Xion in Crystal Blue City will obviously not be affected in any way, and all the half-elves of the Zhuyue clan stationed in Ice Stone City are safe and sound. Only the soldiers from the North in the Fortress have appeared.
The phenomenon of golden eyes.
In the end, Lei Xiao immediately rushed to the next location after leaving the White Knight, Nolan and others behind.
The third stop is Luolong City.
The situation here is obviously much better.
Under the premise that neither the Goblin Legion nor the Alchemy Puppet Legion were affected, under the calm command of Benson, Hongshi and others, the frantic soldiers in the city have been completely controlled, and the orc army attacking the city outside the city has been completely controlled.
It didn't cross the line even one bit.
After his nervousness eased slightly, Lei Xiao arrived at the fourth stop of the mountain fortress via Jiang Lei's teleportation.
When Lei Xiao walked towards the wall of the mountain fortress, he found that the battle situation here was the most brutal. Elite soldiers from the Holy Night Kingdom and Canlan Federation had even rushed to the city wall, and there were densely packed Alliance legions under the city.
Lei Xiao learned further through communicating with Bai Lao and Randall who were fighting in a bloody battle.
The soldiers and mercenaries stationed in the mountain fortress city were also going crazy. As for the Alliance legion that was attacking the city, there were about 15 main legions in size.
Seeing that not all of the 150 legions came to the city, Lei Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time his expression became extremely serious.
Although I don't know how these 15 legions broke through the illusion blockade, it is certain.
An elite enemy force of this size is difficult to deal with when the mountain fortress is intact, let alone the current situation of internal and external troubles.
With no other choice, Lei Xiao had to leave behind two more alchemy puppets and Japanese knotweed. Together with the large number of puppet soldiers summoned by Sarah and Xiao Zhao, he was able to temporarily drive away the oncoming Alliance legionnaires.
Although his heart was full of questions and the mountain fortress was still in danger, Lei Xiao obviously could not stay here anymore and rushed to the territory again.
The situation in the territory is also much better. Neither the subordinates nor the surrendered races are under any control.
But they were surrounded by tens of thousands of controlled golden-eyed soldiers and hundreds of thousands of golden-eyed civilians in the surrounding towns, and they were frantically smashing the absolute defense barrier.
Since there were more than 10 third-level magic squadrons of various types in the territory, which were enough to make the defensive barrier impregnable, Lei Xiao did not stay too long and came to the last stop, the royal capital.
On the outskirts of the royal capital, Lei Xiao left behind Hong Ye to assist Bernie and others from the "Green Adventurer Guild" who were fighting a bloody battle with the Brotherhood's strong men, as well as the remaining nobles, and then returned to the palace with Jiang Li without stopping.
Court, and then saved Ariel who almost died in time.
"Lord! It's really you!"
Seeing Lei Xiao's figure, Ariel, who had just been brought back from the brink of death, had no time to be afraid. Instead, she immediately said with tears on her face: "I'm sorry, Lord, I didn't fulfill my promise to help you protect your body. It's all my fault."
…”
"You are not wrong. You have done a good job. I underestimated the insidiousness of these guys."
Lei Xiao first smiled happily at Ariel, then looked at the man in black robe No. 2 at the other end, and said in a deep voice: "No. 2, it seems that your last escape didn't make you any longer.
memory."
"Jie, Jie, Jie, despicable scum from another world, I am still worried about how to find you, but I didn't expect you to come to my door yourself."
The gloomy face of No. 2 hidden behind the mask was boiling with murderous intent, and he said solemnly: "This time I will settle the old and new accounts together, and I will definitely cut you into pieces!"
"This is the territory of my Lengyan royal family, don't think about it!"
Ariel, who was standing behind Lei Xiao, was obviously more confident. She snorted coldly: "Although the defensive barrier has been broken, there are many mechanisms here. In many places, even the fifth-level strong people dare not set foot easily. What can you do?"
What?"
"Haha, your innocent princess, maybe I know this place better than you do."
The hostility around the man in black robe No. 2 was gathering rapidly, and he joked: "Do you think I will easily set foot here without preparation? In other words, it will take us longer to prepare than you think."
"No. 2, you seem to be very familiar with this palace. You must come here often, right?"
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao seemed to have thought of something, and said expressionlessly: "If I guess correctly, the sweet king flower that poisoned the old king was the one you secretly put into the banquet hall, right?"
"So what if it is? So what if it's not?"
Man in black robe No. 2 shrugged noncommittally and sneered: "Is this important?"
"Of course it's important, because I have guessed your true identity hidden behind the false mask."
Lei Xiao was obviously trying to trick the other party into talking.
After understanding the situation of the major fortresses just now, although Lei Xiao already has some clues in his mind, he still lacks the most critical evidence.
Only by completely determining the true identity of the neutral organization behind the Black Abyss Brotherhood can we find a more targeted solution to all this.
"oh?"
Looking at Lei Xiao's calm face, the man in black robe No. 2 was obviously interested and said with a smile: "But I am very curious, which name will you name? I'm afraid it's not just a bluff, right?"
"Yeah?"
Seeing that the other party did not disclose any information, Lei Xiao simply expressed the answer in his heart and said lightly: "The highest authority in the branch of the Bright Temple and the Cold Flame Kingdom, Chief Archbishop Severn, you should also take off your own.
Are you wearing a false mask of the Black Abyss Brotherhood?"
"What? The manipulator behind the Black Abyss Brotherhood is actually the Temple of Light?!"
Because Lei Xiao secretly opened his own words when speaking, not only Ariel and Jiang Li who were present, but also the main powerhouses who were fighting everywhere had expressions of surprise on their faces, almost unable to believe their own
ear.
Although before this, everyone had already speculated that the mastermind behind the Brotherhood was most likely one of the three neutral organizations.
But among the three neutral organizations, the Temple of Light is the one with the highest reputation and the most supporters. It has saved the human race many times in danger, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the savior of the human race.
But even though it is such an organization that can be called the incarnation of justice, why does it secretly recruit all kinds of sinners, fugitives and users of forbidden magic to form the infamous Black Abyss Brotherhood, which engages in burning, killing, looting, and even subverting the royal power?
His evil deeds have become synonymous with evil and killing?
Just when everyone was in shock, the man in black robe No. 2 on the other side was also speechless, his cloudy eyes were wide open, and he also had an unexpected look.
After a while, the man in black robe No. 2 laughed wildly and slowly took off his mask.
As the mask was lifted, the man in black robe No. 2's sinister and unrestrained laughter gradually became normal, and an old face covered with wrinkles emerged.
"Archbishop Severn, it's really you!"
When Ariel saw clearly the familiar old face that often appeared in the palace, her voice revealed incomparable anger: "For more than ten years, my father has treated you like a close friend and has never neglected you. Why do you think so?"
Want to harm him?!"
"Your naive Majesty the Queen, because your father cannot understand the ideals of the Supreme Lord, he naturally cannot stay in this world."
Severn's old face was full of ferocity, but he still had his usual kind and kind eyes. He sneered: "As for you and that otherworldly scum who have repeatedly blocked my wait, I can't even keep you!"
"Is that true?"
Looking at Severn's almost twisted old face, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath, his face becoming more solemn.
Before this, there were three main reasons why Lei Xiao suspected that the mastermind behind this was the Temple of Light.
First, it is the source of crazy soldiers.
These crazy soldiers are limited to ordinary legions and main legions in various places, but do not include any subordinates, soldiers of the Lord legion, or the Zhuyue clan who just joined not long ago.
If the other two neutral organizations are trying to control our combat power, it is unlikely that they will only cover a certain special range.
Unless these crazy soldiers are believers in the Temple of Light, or have recently gone to the Temple of Light to pray.
During this process, some tricks must have been secretly done to them, waiting for the day when they would explode.
In this way, things can be explained clearly.
Because neither the direct subordinates, the soldiers of the Lord's Legion, nor the half-elves have any connection with the Temple of Light, naturally the seeds of manipulation will not be planted.
Second, almost all the new priests who joined the various legions in recent years were spared, and they all became golden-eyed soldiers.
But the older generation of powerful priests, such as Ju Bai, who have not had contact with the Temple of Light for a long time, have not been affected in any way.
As for the subordinate priests in the territory, that's even more fine.
Although they are all believers of the Light, they are not from the Temple of Light, and rarely leave their territory. Naturally, they do not have the opportunity to go to the branch temples of the Temple of Light to pray.
The third one is the golden eyes of the mad soldier.
Only the Temple of Light uses gold as the core of its spells. Although this is only an obvious small feature, if combined with the first two points, it becomes confusing.
After smoothing everything out in his mind, Lei Xiao had no time to think about the reason why the Temple of Light did this, but immediately brought his thoughts back to reality.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that the combat power he had just rushed into various places could not play a decisive role.
Only by finding a way to lift the unknown control spell and wake up those crazy golden-eyed soldiers can we have a glimmer of hope.
The most important thing is that amid internal and external troubles, there is not much time left for oneself.
However, before Lei Xiao could take action, fatal murderous intent was already overwhelming.
