Chapter 472: Surrounding the site for reinforcements and waiting for work
The next second, a familiar prompt sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Congratulations, your "Level 4 Cloak: Invisibility Cloak" has been upgraded to "Level 5 Cloak: Cloak of Silence"! 】
[Congratulations, your "Level 4 Cloak: Invisibility Cloak" has been upgraded to 100 pieces of "Level 4 Cloak: Invisibility Cloak"! 】
[Congratulations, your "Level 4 Cloak: Invisibility Cloak" has been upgraded to "Level 5 Cloak: Cloak of Tranquility"! 】
"Have you obtained 100 invisibility cloaks and two new fifth-level cloaks of silence?"
After hearing this calmly, Lei Xiao immediately opened the attribute bar of the new cloak.
[Name: Cloak of Silence]
[Level: Level 5? Extraordinary (Silver)]
[Defense Strength: None]
[Additional Effect 1: Level 5 Invisibility Technique "After wearing it, you can hide your figure, and it also has the effect of concealing your aura. It is effective for powerful people of level 5 and below."]
[Additional effect two: Silence "increases the wearer's resistance to detection enchantments and increases the possibility of not being discovered by detection enchantments"]
[Remarks: This is a magical cloak from a mysterious race, made by a fifth-level peak illusionist. It can hide the figure in any environment.
Moreover, the cloak is made of extremely rare magical insulating fabric, which can also increase the wearer's resistance to detection barriers.】
"Good guy, not only has the effect of the invisibility technique been directly upgraded by one level, it can also be effective on fifth-level strong men, but also, is there a new special effect?"
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao murmured to himself.
Naturally, Lei Xiao is no stranger to the detection-type enchantment described above with the new effect.
The "Eye of Insight" that has been functioning normally in the territory belongs to this type. Its function is to break or weaken any stealth or illusion-type camouflage effects.
Moreover, once the barrier detects something strange, it will immediately automatically emit a dual alarm of sound and light to remind the soldiers standing guard around it to take precautions.
This is undoubtedly the absolute nemesis of invisibility cloaks and illusion cloaks.
The most important thing is that this type of magic barrier is extremely concealable and is very difficult to detect under normal circumstances.
However, fortunately, in addition to using extremely rare enchantment crystals, directly activating the enchantment stored in it.
Building a magic barrier is an extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive matter, and requires a large number of magicians to keep it running day and night.
Therefore, as long as we do not take the initiative to infiltrate some important places that may have similar detection barriers, there will naturally be no problems.
"According to Zhu Qi, who built the barrier, the "Eye of Insight" barrier in the territory is of a more mysterious type, and its effect is higher than that of ordinary insight barriers.
Theoretically, at most, you can detect the various camouflage effects of the fifth level to a greater or lesser extent, but it is directly related to the amount of magic power supplied."
Rubbing his chin thoughtfully, Lei Xiao continued to think: "For example, if a squadron of second-level elite magicians supplies energy to the "Eye of Insight" barrier, they will basically be able to perceive the fourth-level camouflage effect.
."
At this time, Lei Xiao nodded slightly: "Because the "Eye of Insight" barrier within the territory is directly supplied with magic power by three miracle buildings, the maximum detection effect has been achieved."
"Of course, in addition to this, there are many factors that affect the barrier detection ability, such as the intruder's mastery of infiltration skills, the presence of other interference, and even factors such as weather."
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao thought to himself: "In short, these two new cloaks of the fifth level, in addition to daily operations, will undoubtedly lay a solid foundation for our side's possible high-intensity secret infiltration operations in the future.
Foundation!"
Thinking of this, in addition to being overjoyed, Lei Xiao regained his energy, looked at the subordinates and Ariel around him who were ready to go, and then said: "Okay, let's set off, the target is the border battlefield area!"
After saying that, Lei Xiao patted Bai Wei's furry snow-white head.
In an instant, a low wolf howl was heard, Lei Xiao and the mount on his crotch swayed, and together they turned into a phantom and disappeared at the gate of the city lord's mansion.
At the same time, the sound of "swish, swish, swish" sounded, and all the subordinates on our side did not hesitate, and they all flashed and followed closely behind Lei Xiao.
"This annoying guy has quite nimble legs and feet."
Feeling the biting wind generated when Lei Xiao and his subordinates left, Ariel straightened the messy hair that was blown up in front of her forehead and couldn't help but let out a light sound.
Immediately afterwards, a pair of pale golden magic wings were seen on her slender body, stretching out from the gap left by the invisibility cloak behind her.
The next second, as the pale golden magic wings vibrated, the fifth princess of Leng Yan also turned into a meteor, flying away at high speed surrounded by Burt and Ju Bai.
In this way, along with his own speed all the way.
After about half an hour, the undulating green mountains came into Lei Xiao's eyes.
Noticing this, Lei Xiao, who pressed his entire body against the giant white wolf, nodded slightly.
Ahead is a mixed area of mountains and hills. Once there, the border area between Leng Yan and Holy Night is naturally no longer far away.
"I remember that the last time I came here, I had just been promoted to the second level. The strong men around me were only the fifth level Huzhang, the fourth level Ye Cang, and Chaoyan and the third level who were still at the time.
Southern Star, Southern Moon.”
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao continued to think: "And now, not only has my strength reached the peak level of the third level, but the number of subordinates around me has also increased significantly."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, clutching the thick long hair on the neck of the giant white wolf under his crotch, while looking to his left and right.
At this moment, there were not only two fifth-level powerhouses, Huzhang and Hongye, around him.
Moreover, including the two kingdom generals, the number of fourth-level experts has reached six, and the rest are all at the peak level of third-level.
"Now that I think about it, everything on the battlefield was really thrilling."
At this time, Lei Xiao couldn't help but sigh, and murmured to himself: "By the way, I wonder how the Holy Night Army's Baron Yes, Carla, and Ao Feng are doing? This time, I stand on their side. The opposite, after all, Leng Yanjun is at a disadvantage now."
"If they meet me again, they will have bad luck." Lei Xiao curled his lips slightly and smiled lightly.
"Lord, we are about to reach our destination."
At this moment, the rough voice of the knotweed came through the chanting that had been turned on, asking for instructions: "What should we do next?"
"As always, first find a place with a wide view and observe the current situation on both sides."
Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao responded immediately without hesitation.
Guqu
Just like that, a moment passed.
The group of people who were chasing the wind and lightning stopped together at the top of a towering mountain.
After easily turning over and dismounting from the wolf, Lei Xiao first stretched and stretched his body that was slightly stiff due to riding. Then he said to the female knight on the side: "Lin, tell me more about the latest battle report you learned. Bar."
"Take it back... City Lord, the situation is like this."
Seeing Ariel coming over, Lin calmed down, and then replied: "Since the last time, the Lengyan Army turned from a great victory at the beginning to a great defeat, the Holy Night Army wanted to work hard and pursue the victory, but was defeated. The Lengyan Army's mountain fortress was blocked..."
Next, through Lin's description.
Lei Xiao incidentally reviewed the situation where he, who was the last straw, assisted the Holy Night Army in crushing the Leng Yan Army, and then successfully retreated.
At that time, when one's own side returns to the territory.
The entire Leng Yan army was defeated and all retreated to Leng Yan's important border town, the Mountain Fort Fortress.
This is a large fortress built on the mountain. Its geographical location is very similar to that of Luolong City under the Baibu Mountains. It is located at the pass of two peaks.
However, compared to the flat terrain of Luolong City.
The surroundings of the mountain fortress are obviously much more dangerous, making it extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Moreover, not far from the left and right sides of the mountain fortress, there are two other small fortresses built on the hillside. The three are like horns to each other.
Once one fortress is attacked by the enemy, the other two will provide support from different directions, which increases the difficulty of siege by several levels.
"At that time, the Holy Night Army took advantage of the high morale of the victory, and after annihilating the retreating rear troops of the Lengyan Army, they violently feinted to attack one of the small fortresses, preparing for a classic encirclement and reinforcements."
I saw Lin stroking a stray strand of hair behind her ear, and then said: "As a result, the other two fortresses, including the mountain fortress, were closed and did not fall into the trap at all.
In the end, the Holy Night Army retreated angrily after being besieged for a day and a night with no results."
"It is indeed the best choice to accept the situation as soon as possible and retreat with the fruits of victory."
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao immediately said: "If this continues, once the Leng Yan Army in the other two fortresses is waiting for work and regains its strength, then the outcome will once again be decided."
"What the Lord City Lord said is absolutely true."
On the other side, Lin nodded and said: "After that, both parties have been in peace for a while, and the number of strong men in the border area has been continuously replenished..."
Through Lin's next description, Lei Xiao learned.
In the following period, the number of soldiers in the border areas of both sides quickly reached the scale before the battle, which was almost 30,000.
However, the reinforcements on Shengye's side continued to increase significantly, reaching a total of 80,000 people.
Among them, the number of strong people above level three is naturally much higher than that on Leng Yan's side.
"Thus, in terms of overall strength and number of strong men, the Leng Yan Army was inferior to Sheng Ye's. They once again retreated to the three fortresses centered on the mountain fortress. No matter how Sheng Ye harassed them, they could not hold on.
out, until now.”
Immediately afterwards, Lin Sa's energetic and slightly weak words reached Lei Xiao's ears again.
"Originally, our reinforcements should arrive soon."
On the other side, Ariel's fair face began to darken, biting her red lips and said: "According to the law, when the kingdom encounters a major crisis, every city lord under the protection of the royal family has an obligation to
Send troops for reinforcements!”
"The premise is that it is under the protection of the royal family."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao looked directly into Ariel's starry eyes and said, "Now that the capital of Leng Yan is in chaos, how can you still have the leisure to keep an eye on this matter?"
"Your Majesty the City Lord is right. I heard that emergency recruitment orders from various places have been distributed a long time ago."
Nodding to Lei Xiao, Lin added: "However, because the cities in the eastern region of Leng Yan that are close to the border have all been drafted, and some have even been drafted twice in a row.
But when it was the turn of other cities in distant areas, they all used various reasons to shirk their duties and remained stationary, with a high-spirited attitude..."
"As a result, due to mutual comparison and the battle for the throne, the majesty and deterrence of the current royal family have been greatly reduced. This must be the main reason for the current situation."
On the other side, the burly Bert couldn't help but sigh heavily, then shook his head helplessly.
"If the situation continues to develop like this, I'm afraid things will get worse and worse."
The orange man on the side, with a delicate face full of worry, added.
"The current Lengyan cities are nothing but scattered sand. If these 30,000 soldiers are eaten by the other side, I am afraid that the Holy Night Army, which is marching straight in, will soon defeat the other cities one by one."
Looking at Ariel's somewhat pale face, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and continued: "By then, let alone the eastern region of Leng Yan, I am afraid that the entire Leng Yan Kingdom will be crumbling."
"impossible!"
Hearing this, Ariel cheered up, clenched her fists and said, "The coach here is one of my father's most beloved generals.
Bai Lao, the fortress general who is recognized as one of the top three generals among the eight kingdoms, the city he is stationed in has never been captured by the enemy!"
"Your Highness Princess, although you say so, it is as the saying goes that a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. Since the gap between the number of troops and the number of strong men is too large, it is best for us to make plans as soon as possible."
Then, under Lei Xiao's vague signal, Ju Bai nodded slightly, and then continued with a frown.
"Ju Bai is right, Your Highness Princess, we know Lao Bai's strength best, but things are different now..."
On the other side, Bert's old face was full of solemnity, and he also echoed.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
There is no doubt that the reason why Lei Xiao did this was to prepare for conquering Ariel.
Only by making Princess Lengyan, who grew up in the palace, realize the seriousness of the situation can she grow up quickly and strengthen her determination to raise her arms and shout loudly in the future.
Otherwise, a cowardly princess, even if she is helped to the high position of queen, will naturally not be able to govern a kingdom well.
However, at this moment.
Wisps of thick black smoke suddenly floated up from the foot of the mountain.
