At this moment, looking at the lifeless soldier captain on the ground, the other Holy Night Army soldiers, with swordsmen in front and archers behind, immediately began to form a dense formation.
The soldier captain who died was at the peak level of the second level. Anyone who could kill him with one strike would obviously not be a good person.
"The strength of this little girl should be between the third-level senior powerhouse and the third-level peak powerhouse."
Realizing this, a strong murderous aura suddenly erupted from the bodies of these Holy Night Army soldiers.
However, among these 50-odd soldiers, half were first-level soldiers and half were second-level soldiers. There was also a third-level senior warrior hidden among them.
Therefore, facing Ariel, who currently only has one person showing up, she doesn't have much fear.
"You said you are Leng Yan's fifth princess?"
After looking up and down Ariel's exquisite body, the heavily armored third-level Saint Night warrior first showed a sly smile with interest.
Then, while gesturing to the soldiers on the left and right, he slowly approached Ariel, while squinting his eyes slightly, he said tentatively: "Don't make fun of me, how could a member of Leng Yan's royal family put themselves in danger here?"
"Yes, yes, out of nowhere did such a desperate little girl appear, she is simply asking for her own death!"
"Do you think that just because you are a third-level strong man, you can be unscrupulous? Around us, there are more than a dozen battle-experienced third-level strong men!"
"Yes, there are several heroic generals of the fourth level who are sitting at the forefront and may arrive at any time!"
"If you take a closer look, you are really pretty. How about joining our Holy Night Army? We will definitely treat you well, hehehe..."
Immediately afterwards, the other soldiers laughed and echoed one after another.
"You bastards, you didn't even spare a pair of defenseless boys and girls."
On the other side, Ariel, who was extremely angry, naturally would not entangle with the other party. Her eyebrows were furrowed and her slender green fingers were dotted in the air.
The next second, more than ten sharp arrows of light quickly formed in front of her.
With the sound of "swish, swish" piercing the air, a group of Holy Night Army archers hiding in the jungle on the other side were all shot to the ground with arrows on their strings.
"It is indeed an attack magic of light attribute..."
Seeing this, the face of the third-level Saint Night powerhouse began to become more and more gloomy.
As his cloudy eyes turned, he murmured to himself: "Judging from the spell casting speed and attack ability, it is obviously not something that a Holy Light Priest can cast. From this point of view, is it a light magician?"
"Lord Baron, light magicians are extremely rare, and this guy has the iconic curly hair of the Leng Yan royal family. Coupled with the self-reported family name just now, this seems to be more than just a coincidence..."
At this time, the skinny soldier came forward and whispered softly while rolling his cunning eyes.
"So, this person might really be Princess Lengyan? How could she show up here? It's simply unbelievable..."
He nodded thoughtfully, and a hint of joy suddenly appeared on the gloomy face of the third-level powerhouse in Shengye.
There is no doubt, although I don’t know why this Princess Leng Yan appears here.
However, if we can capture him alive, or simply drag the body back, it will obviously be a great achievement!
Thinking of this, he looked at Ariel's slender body up and down with malicious eyes again.
At the same time, other soldiers around him also pointed their sharp blades at Ariel, with twisted evil smiles on their faces full of anger.
However, just when this third-level Holy Night powerhouse, who was getting closer to Ariel, was about to give orders to take action.
I saw a sudden flash of sharp white light.
This third-level strongman from Holy Night was chopped into two pieces along with the heavy armor on his body and the skinny soldier next to him.
In the blood-red splatter, in front of the two corpses, a burly figure holding a giant sword stood proudly, which was naturally Japanese knotweed.
At the same time, other Holy Night Army soldiers who were preparing to attack Ariel either covered their blood-stained necks, or had their chests penetrated by sharp blades, and fell to the ground one after another.
Beside them, their own subordinate figures exuding a powerful aura immediately emerged.
It is worth mentioning that in order to prevent the thin and precious invisibility cloak from being damaged, all the subordinates had already put it into their respective storage rings when launching the attack.
In this way, facing more than a dozen strong men on their side who were at least at the peak of the third level, these soldiers of the Holy Night Army were naturally vulnerable.
In just a few moments, they were completely wiped out, leaving no time for the other party to issue an alarm.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
Currently, there are still more than two thousand soldiers of the Holy Night Army scattered around.
Moreover, according to the further perception of Polygonum cuspidatum just now.
In the open area not far away, there are still the presence of at least tens of thousands of people, which should be the forward barracks of the Holy Night Army.
Therefore, there is no need for us to waste too much time with these miscellaneous fish here.
If more soldiers surrounded us, the situation would undoubtedly be troublesome.
It is true that although these small groups of soldiers operating in squads or squadrons are unlikely to pose any threat to their own side.
But once the enemy gathers on a large scale, especially after forming a dense battle formation, they will be able to exert a combat capability that far exceeds that of an individual.
Coupled with the enemy's strong men scattered among them, a fierce battle will not only increase the threat, but also consume a lot of energy and magic power of one's own subordinates.
Even though Lei Xiao possesses some magic potions that can speed up magic recovery and replenish energy.
But after all, they are only at the second level, and the role they can play for subordinates with peak strength above the third level is undoubtedly extremely limited.
What's more, our side has no in-depth understanding of the current strength composition and number of powerful members of the Holy Night Army.
Therefore, judging from the current situation.
It is obviously not the wisest choice for a few strong men to directly fight against a huge army, and it is not necessary at all.
On the other side, Ariel cast a grateful look at Lei Xiao.
He took a step forward and quickly came to the boy and girl who were stunned by the bloody scene in front of them, and touched their heads respectively to express comfort.
Immediately afterwards, before the two of them could speak, Ariel nodded to Bert and Jubai beside her.
The next second, Bert and Jubai each picked up one, and together with everyone on their side, quickly left the edge of the cliff.
Just like that, there was another burst of wind and lightning.
In a quiet dense forest at the foot of the mountain, everyone on our side stopped again.
"Sister, are you really our princess of Leng Yan?"
At this time, the boy, who was in a slightly calmer mood, asked Ariel with bright eyes after being put down by Bert.
Gu Si
On the other side, a girl with a dirty face also came over, her big eyes flashing, looking at Ariel expectantly.
"That's right, just like your mother said, I'm here to save you."
A bright smile suddenly appeared on Ariel's fair face, and she nodded in response.
"Great! Your Highness the Princess is indeed our protector!"
Hearing this, the pair of ragged boys and girls jumped up excitedly, with uncontrollable smiles on their little faces.
"When I grow up, I want to become a heroic knight who protects Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"When I grow up, I will also become a battle maid serving Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
For a moment, the two of them were arguing over each other.
At this moment, looking at the innocent and dirty faces of the two of them, Ariel's eyes were filled with thoughts.
With her current ability, what she can do is undoubtedly limited to this.
However, in the face of a huge and cruel war, this is not even a drop in the bucket.
When she thought about how many residents like the young girl and girl like Leng Yanxiang in front of her were being ravaged by the war, Ariel couldn't help but clenched her fist tightly again.
"Instead of being secretly sad, it's better to think of ways to make yourself stronger."
Keenly aware of Ariel's emotional changes, Lei Xiao said calmly: "There is only one way to deal with the enemy's sharp blade, and that is to fight back with a harder blade. Being cowardly will only make the enemy more unscrupulous, that's all. "
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, his subordinates scattered around all nodded in unison.
"This big brother seems to be even more powerful than Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Immediately, a thin girl came forward, stared at Lei Xiao with admiration and said, "Brother, are you our prince?"
"Don't talk nonsense, the one who is more powerful than the Princess is naturally His Majesty the King!"
On the other side, the same gray-faced young man also came over and said.
"But, I heard that our King is very old."
Hearing this, the girl grabbed her dry braid and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "How can eldest brother be our king?"
Hearing this, Ariel frowned and was about to correct their innocent words, but then she thought again.
Currently, the only person accompanying her who is willing to risk his life and come to this chaotic border area is this annoying guy in front of her.
Putting aside her seriously ill father, based on this alone, this annoying guy in front of her is indeed infinitely more noble than her royal brothers who want their own lives and are willing to turn the royal capital into a battlefield.
grade.
Realizing this, Ariel couldn't help but sigh, and cast a look of gratitude and helplessness at Lei Xiao.
"Lord, judging from the smell, the Holy Night Army has discovered those soldiers who were killed."
At this time, the rough voice of the knotweed rang in Lei Xiao's ears, and he reported: "Currently, the other party has accelerated the search speed, and is moving towards the area where we are."
Having said this, Huzhang pointed to a mountain peak not far away and continued: "At the same time, there are a large number of Holy Night Army soldiers who are gathering in that direction."
"That direction?!"
Hearing this, the skinny girl's expression suddenly became panicked, and she blurted out: "That's where everyone in the town is hiding!"
"What?"
On the other side, Ariel's expression also became tense, and then she said: "You mean there are still residents of my Lengyan there? How many people are there?"
"There are about seventy or eighty people left..."
Seeing the sallow-looking young man, he swallowed uneasily and continued to add.
Next, through the boy's description, Lei Xiao learned.
It turned out that they were the residents of the small town built on the mountain just now.
Just like the intelligence obtained by our own side, when the Lengyan Army retreated hastily, they did not leave in time and did not even receive any news.
Until one night, when the vanguard of the Holy Night Army, holding torches and sharp blades, was already close at hand.
The residents of the small town woke up from their dreams and realized the seriousness of the situation.
In the end, facing the small forward force of the Holy Night Army, and under the desperate resistance of the only young and middle-aged people left in the town, the other old, weak, women and children were able to evacuate to the caves in the mountains by luck.
After that, the pair of thin boys and girls, who had begun to sob softly, knelt down in front of Ariel and Lei Xiao, begging: "Your Highness, big brother, please save our family and the town.
People!"
"So, those who face the Holy Night Army this time are all old, weak, women and children?"
He lowered himself to lift up the two thin bodies in front of him, and Ariel's fair face became dim again.
At this time, she could already vaguely sense it.
The Holy Night Army that is moving there is at least the size of a thousand-man brigade.
Moreover, there are many established second-level elite squadrons and several third-level strong men among them.
Therefore, it would be almost impossible for her and the two kingdom generals to successfully rescue so many people.
Judging from the cruel behavior of the soldiers of the Holy Night Army just now, the fate of these old, weak, women and children is naturally self-evident.
Realizing this, Ariel looked at Lei Xiao next to her again, with a hesitant expression that she wanted to request but didn't know how to speak.
After all, the annoying guy in front of me has nothing to do with these residents, and is not even from this world, so there is no need to take this risk.
"Dear Your Highness the Fifth Princess, do you want me to help you?"
Once again keenly aware of the subtle expression on Ariel's delicate face, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Lei Xiao naturally knows the other party's little thoughts very well.
Admittedly, there is really no need for our side to do this.
Under such circumstances, Lei Xiao will not easily let himself and his subordinates fall into possible difficulties, even if it is only a little bit.
However, if Leng Yan's fifth princess can be made to realize from the bottom of her heart how powerful and indispensable her side is, it will undoubtedly play a decisive role in promoting the final subjugation.
This point is crucial to our own future layout and to expanding our living space.
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
On the other side, although Ariel was a little embarrassed to say it, when she heard Lei Xiao's initiative, she nodded quickly, showing a slightly begging expression.
As the fifth princess of Leng Yan, this is all she can do at present.
At this moment, looking at Ariel and a pair of thin boys and girls in front of them who looked expectant, Lei Xiao then smiled lightly and said: "In that case, let's set off."
