Chapter 328: Out of the Dragon Pond and into the Tiger's Den5K
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao stood up from the throne, waving his hands to signal the tiger sticks, Chao Yan and other strong men on his side to get ready to go.
While facing the commander of the garrison in the lower position, he said sternly: "Guanzhong, order the entire city's garrison to enter a state of full alert immediately.
All outposts in the city will triple the number of soldiers, and all scout teams will be sent out for reconnaissance, ready to respond to possible crises at any time."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao came again and immediately opened his mouth to read.
At the same time, Nate Ned from Magnet Town, Xuan Yue from Mailan Town, Bai Zhiroge from the territory, Chuan Gu from the half-elf barrier, and Shi Feng from the werewolf village were connected.
"Everyone, without further ado, the situation is like this..."
In this way, while Lei Xiao briefly informed Luolong City about the uproar, he also asked everyone to be prepared to deal with possible crises.
At this time, although Ariel and the two kingdom generals were also present, they naturally did not know who the specific person Lei Xiao was contacting was.
In order to prevent the other party from detecting any clues from his words, Lei Xiao also spoke in a more general way without any flaws.
Furthermore, Lei Xiao had already understood it before.
The "talking" function of the alien lords is actually a special secret method of communication.
This type of contact secret method is not very uncommon in this world.
However, most of them have extremely strict requirements on distance and terrain, making it almost impossible to establish long-distance communications.
The words mastered by the lords of other worlds have broken this shackles. Even Fanyin City, which is more than ten days' carriage ride away from Kongqing Town, is within the communication range.
Lei Xiao has already confirmed this in previous calls with Kelly.
Of course, it is different from chat channels and private messaging functions that have no distance restrictions between lords.
This kind of conversation function between the lord and his subordinates does have distance limitations.
For example, Lei Xiao is still unable to contact Gracilaria, who went to a remote and extremely cold place to retrieve his body. The interface still shows that the other party is too far away and cannot establish a connection.
All in all, Lei Xiao just used the action of reading words.
In the eyes of Ariel and others, they were just using a secret method of communication to assign tasks, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Having said that, this time, the powerful men of his own side that Lei Xiao plans to take to Luolong City are still Huzhang, Chaoyan, Ah Ling, Ah Bing and Bai Wei.
Of course, in his storage bracelet, there are 24 third-level earth guardians and 2 third-level sky guardians, as backup forces and trump cards, ready for battle at any time.
"At this stage, we are still unclear about the specific situation that happened in Luolong City. It would be better to go as an elite team.
In this way, firstly, we can go to the destination as quickly as possible, and secondly, with a small number of people and small targets, it is easier to move and investigate. Let’s find out what happened there first, and then make other plans.”
Just as Lei Xiao was thinking this, he walked towards the entrance of the hall with the knotweed and other subordinates.
Not far behind, Ariel's somewhat embarrassed voice came over: "Wait a minute! This princess is going too!"
"Oh?" Hearing this, Lei Xiao stopped, turned his head slightly and said, "My dear Fifth Princess, now is not the time for fun. If nothing happens, this trip will be in danger.
"
"You don't need to remind me, of course I understand this." On the other side, Ariel raised her fair face.
I saw her pondering for a moment, and then said with wisdom: "Luolong City is an important city of my Lengyan Kingdom, as a member of the Lengyan Royal Family.
Now that we have received this news, we naturally cannot ignore it."
After finishing speaking, Ariel, who was quite satisfied with the reason she gave, added: "That's right, as the fifth princess of Leng Yan, it is my duty to do this."
"Actually, I wanted to take the opportunity to see if the smoke was caused by "that incident", right?"
On the other side, Lei Xiao curled his lips slightly and thought to himself: "That's good, maybe with Ariel present, we can really find some important clues, who knows.
After all, we still don’t know exactly what “that thing” is.
In addition, at critical moments, the opponent can also appear as an important combat force for one's side.
You must know that the opponent has two senior fourth-level experts. Such power does not have to be wasted, as long as it is always under your control.
Furthermore, in this way, Ye Cang and Nan Xing Nan Yue, who are balancing the other side, can also go together."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to walk towards the door.
While saying leisurely: "It's not impossible, but it can still only be the three of you, and you need to obey my orders in everything outside. If you don't obey, you know the consequences."
Hearing Lei Xiao's obviously threatening tone.
Ariel's nose wrinkled again, and she made a gesture of shaking her fist at Lei Xiao's back, and then looked at each other with the two kingdom generals.
On the other side, both Holy Light General Ju Bai and Giant Ax General Bert nodded helplessly and had no choice.
After all, this young alien lord has the allegiance of a fifth-level powerhouse, and his words and deeds are also unfathomable. Naturally, it is better not to provoke him casually.
At this moment, these two battle-hardened generals of the Kingdom could not help but feel a sense of helplessness in their hearts.
It seemed that they had just left Longtan in the Royal Capital and entered the tiger's den in Kongqing Town...
However, it has to be admitted.
Compared to other cities that are full of dangers and belong to unknown princes, Kongqing Town, which is occupied by this alien lord, is safer.
After all, although this alien lord is a bit domineering, he has not shown any obvious hostility towards them yet.
If this huge power can be made good use of, perhaps the situation of Her Royal Highness the Princess and the two of them will change for the better.
Of course, this still needs long-term consideration.
On the other side, while looking at Lei Xiao's back, Ariel blinked her long eyelashes slightly and made her own little calculation in her mind.
"Anyway, this annoying guy has no way of knowing that I am looking for "that thing".
If you find any clues during this trip, just hide it first and then wait for an opportunity to go there.
After all, this guy has the allegiance of a fifth-level strongman beside him, who happens to be my princess's thug. This way, things will be much more convenient.
It’s best to seriously injure this guy’s vitality so that my next actions will be easier.”
Realizing this, Ariel smiled, and then said: "That's all, I'll just follow you!"
Immediately, she stood up from her seat.
While frowning, he added: "Of course, it is limited to this time. If it were normal times, I would not listen to you no matter what."
"Oh? I agreed quite happily." Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself: "It seems that Ariel also wants to use her own power to find "that matter"
ah.
It seems that a game between hunter and prey is about to begin."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao turned around, smiled the same way at Ariel and said: "Since my dear fifth princess, Her Highness, has made the promise, let's set off."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao opened the door of the hall and walked in the front first.
…
Near Luolong City, a certain peak in the Baibu Mountains.
In the vast night, two blood moons loomed in the sky.
The fortress-like city at the foot of the mountain was already filled with smoke and flames.
I saw the dazzling light of attack magic, like gorgeous fireworks, exploding under the city's towering walls from time to time, stirring up bursts of wailing and screaming.
There is no doubt that this fortress city standing on the pass is encountering an unexpected attack.
Standing on the cliff and looking down, you can vaguely see it.
Because this city is like a cork in a bottle, blocking the pass directly.
Therefore, the siege army that suddenly came from the other side of the mountain range was unable to cross the pass, and could only launch a frantic attack on the city.
Under the moonlit night, only a dense number of figures could be seen, accompanied by the deafening shouts of killing, rushing up the city wall one after another, and then falling down.
The continuous scene, like ants coming out of their holes, is very shocking even when standing on the top of a high mountain.
Seeing this, I sniffed the air, mixed with the bloody smell of gunpowder smoke.
Zhou Wu, who was standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, felt that his legs suddenly became weak. He quickly took several steps back and swallowed involuntarily.
Judging from his appearance, he is probably in his early thirties, with a tall and muscular build.
Around him, there were four younger young people standing, two men and two women, both of whom looked to be in their early twenties.
At this time, the two young men and two women looked frightened, standing there almost at a loss.
Although the distance was far away, the brutality of this bloody war involving cold weapons and deadly spells was obviously far beyond the imagination of these young people.
There is no doubt that these five nervous people, like Lei Xiao, are lords from other worlds who have descended here.
"Brother Zhou, what race are those things? They look obviously much shorter than normal people..."
At this time, I saw a young male lord wearing glasses and holding a broken iron sword. He couldn't help but swallowed and said in confusion.
"It's no wonder what race they are. They are obviously very unfriendly to us humans anyway."
Before Zhou Wu could speak, another long-haired young male lord holding a spear reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He took a breath and said, "What I want to know is, they... they won't attack us, right?"
"Ah?" Upon hearing this, the two young female lords who had hugged each other screamed and began to tremble unconsciously.
"Let's not get into trouble."
At this time, although he was also very nervous inside, Zhou Wu waved his hands, took a deep breath of cool air, and tried his best to comfort a few people.
The territories of the five of them are fortunately distributed around this spacious mountain top.
When the three-day protection period ended, they discovered each other one after another, and then chose to cooperate together, and they have continued to this day.
Because Zhou Wu was older, he was elected as the captain and led the other four people to develop the territory together.
Under Zhou Wu's leadership, the lord mansions of the five of them were successfully upgraded to level 3, and the number of subordinates each reached 30 to 40 people.
Such a scale can be considered relatively well developed among many alien lords.
However, several people understand clearly.
This strange world is full of dangers, and all of this has just begun.
Almost all five of them have experienced that the lord who was active in the chat channel one day disappeared and never appeared again the next day.
In the chat channel, people would occasionally mention that they accidentally found other destroyed lords' mansions, as well as the lord's corpses, etc.
These all remind them at all times that only by being more cautious can they survive in this strange world.
"Everyone, there is only one steep mountain road leading to the top of the mountain where our five territories are located. As long as you hold on there, there will be no problems!"
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Wu's face was full of seriousness, and he continued: "We have to prevent this matter. Each of us leaves two subordinates to look after the house, and the remaining subordinates will all gather at that mountain road!"
"Brother Zhou is right! I...I'll go back and inform them right away!" Hearing this, the nervousness on the bespectacled male lord's face eased slightly, and he was the first to turn around and run towards his territory.
The other three people who looked panicked did not hesitate. After looking at each other, they ran away one after another.
Not long after, the subordinate team of nearly 200 people was trotting all the way. Under the leadership of the five lords, they all gathered at the location of the mountain road.
At first glance, this mountain road is extremely steep, almost like a cliff, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Looking at the mighty team around him, Zhou Wu's heart, which had been beating, finally calmed down a little.
Most of these subordinates are farmers and hunters in ordinary clothes. The weapons in their hands are either axes or pickaxes, and their strength ranges from one star at the first level to two stars at the first level.
However, in recent days, several people have successively recruited some professional warriors who are either wearing armor or wearing leather armor, and their strength is above the first level of five stars.
The young male lord wearing glasses was even lucky enough to recruit a peak-level heavy infantryman, becoming the strongest fighting force among the five.
It is precisely because of this that, under Zhou Wu's suggestion, in addition to daily mining work.
Everyone will take some time in the evening to let the newly recruited powerful subordinates train ordinary farmers and hunters.
Therefore, even though the training time was not long, the formations formed by these farmers were quite decent.
"It's a pity that none of the five of us have awakened and have the opportunity to recruit the talents of second-level subordinates. It seems that if we want to obtain second-level subordinates, we can only slowly continue to upgrade the mansion."
Under the darkness, Zhou Wu deployed all the professional soldiers at the front of the team.
While thinking to himself: "However, among the five of us, the talents that have been awakened now can complement each other, which is very good."
On the other side, several young male and female lords on the side also felt a lot more relaxed.
I saw the long-haired young male lord, holding an unfamiliar gun flower on his arm, and said quite proudly: "Hey, we subordinates, together, have the combat power of close to two squadrons.
Even if those short guys come, we can rely on the terrain and defeat them!"
"You can't say that. Those aliens attacking the city are professional soldiers after all."
At this time, there was still a trace of worry on the face of the young lord wearing glasses: "In my opinion, we must not take it lightly. It is better to send a few subordinates with sharp hands and feet to investigate first."
"Glasses, you can't increase other people's ambition and destroy our own prestige."
Hearing this, the long-haired male lord curled his lips slightly, and then said: "I have condensed an energy vortex. If they really dare to come, give them some color to see!"
Having said this, the long-haired male lord turned around and put on a stiff armband in front of the other two young female lords with a proud look on his face.
But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the professional soldiers at the front of the subordinate team.
Immediately afterwards, before the five people could react.
At the end of the mountain road ahead, the sound of neat and neat footsteps suddenly sounded vaguely.
The sound in unison was like a dense burst of war drums, constantly touching the heartstrings of everyone present.
Immediately afterwards, before anyone could react.
The shining light of the torches gradually began to appear at the end of the mountain road ahead, and gradually became denser from sparse.
Until finally, a winding fire dragon was formed, continuously heading towards the mountain.
Under the firelight, the shining spears exuded a biting cold light, making people feel their scalp numb.
There is no doubt that this is a real army.
And judging from the short figures, they are obviously the aliens who are frantically attacking the city under the cliff!
Seeing this, the five lords felt that the surrounding temperature dropped a lot in an instant, and even the air seemed to have become thicker, almost suffocating.
Bang.
In shock, I saw the long-haired male lord who had been showing off his spear skills just now. The iron gun in his hand had fallen to the ground and made a crisp sound when it collided with the stones on the ground.
"They... they are really here!" Immediately, while picking up the spear from the ground, the long-haired male lord ran to the back of the team and began to tremble uncontrollably.
This move made the three young lords around them look frightened, and they stood there almost at a loss.
"Everyone is ready to fight!" Seeing this, Zhou Wu, the only one who could still maintain some composure, took a step forward with trembling steps and took out a polished iron ax from behind.
At this point, a battle between the five lords and the alien army is about to break out.
