After hearing these stern words, everyone couldn't help but follow the sound and saw that the one who made the sound was naturally Lei Xiao who had not spoken before.
At this time, Lei Xiao, who was also wearing an illusion cloak, was seen leaning against the cave wall, looking coldly at the middle-aged short woman who made the rude remarks.
At this moment, outside the cave, there were Huzhang, Nanxing, Nanyue and others who were struggling to kill the surrounding Holy Night Army soldiers.
Any more delay here will naturally increase the danger to our subordinates. This is undoubtedly something Lei Xiao cannot tolerate.
"who are you?"
Feeling the biting chill on Lei Xiao's body, the pride on the middle-aged short woman's face disappeared in an instant, and she couldn't help blurting out slightly nervously.
"This is...the helper I invited."
On the other side, seeing Lei Xiao taking the initiative to help her out, Ariel cast a grateful look and then explained hesitantly.
Before this, Lei Xiao had already reminded him that his identity as the lord of the alien world and the lord of Kongqing City must not be revealed during this operation.
Moreover, except for Ariel herself and the two kingdom generals, the rest of our subordinates are all wearing illusion cloaks.
From this, it is undoubtedly possible to maintain the mystery of one's own identity to the greatest extent possible.
"helper?"
Hearing this, the nervous face of the short woman suddenly relaxed a little, and she hummed softly: "So what?"
"This means that as the fifth princess of Leng Yan, she is willing to argue with you here, but as a person who is not Leng Yan at all, I will not spoil you at all."
At this time, Lei Xiao was slowly approaching the middle-aged woman and said coldly: "If you continue to talk here and confuse people, I don't mind letting you shut up forever."
After that, Lei Xiao, who had already walked up to the middle-aged short woman, first glanced at the corpse of the Holy Night soldier not far away, then looked directly into her eyes and said, "I hope you can understand this."
Hearing this, looking at Lei Xiao's expressionless face, the short middle-aged woman looked like a deflated rubber ball, lowering her head and saying nothing.
Seeing this, Ariel's starry eyes twinkled, and while she breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn't help but cast a grateful look at Lei Xiao again.
On the other side, Lei Xiao's dark eyes moved and glanced at the other residents, and continued: "Everyone, at this moment, my men are fighting bloody battles for you outside the cave, and the reason why we are willing to do this is
It’s because of your princess’s unremitting efforts.”
"Big Brother is right. It was Her Royal Highness the Princess and Big Brother's men who saved us both when we were on the cliff!"
The young man with a sallow complexion only saw him, and he nodded quickly, and then said to the other middle-aged women: "Please stop bullying Your Highness, please think about it, even the royal family is still a family.
And in a family, there is always a head of the family who is an adult, and children like us who have to be obedient."
"Exactly! Even if the adults in this family make mistakes, they can't put all the responsibility on the children, right?"
The girl with a dirty face on the side also added: "What's more, this child is currently risking his life and wants to do something within his power to make up for it!"
After hearing this, all the residents sighed and couldn't help but lowered their heads to Ariel again. Even the middle-aged short woman showed a touch of emotion.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then nodded to Ariel.
On the other side, Ariel understood and immediately smiled again: "Okay, please come with me."
After a while, he led the group of old, weak, women and children out of the hidden cave. Lei Xiao immediately read words and notified the tiger sticks and other main subordinates scattered around, and began to move closer to the entrance of the cave.
"For your information, Lord Lord, my subordinates have found a relatively flat road that is closest to the area controlled by the Lengyan Army!"
Immediately afterwards, Nan Xing's crisp voice came through the words.
"Very good, return to the team first, and then lead the way."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
Next, after all slaves are in place.
Under the leadership of Lei Xiao, our group, as well as a group of old, weak, women and children, began to move towards the area controlled by Leng Yan.
At present, the best way for these war-torn residents to obtain safety is naturally to send them to the rear of the mountain fortress.
Of course, since these old, weak, women and children are in a state of starvation, coupled with their age and frail health, even though Lei Xiao has taken out a large amount of food reserves and distributed them, the movement speed is still very slow.
However, fortunately, our subordinates are agile and are at the very back of the team, sometimes appearing and sometimes hiding, to confuse and ambush the small groups of Holy Night Army soldiers around them.
In addition, Nan Yue, who was good at concealing her whereabouts, covered up her traces from behind, so there was no danger for the time being.
"I have to say, I seem to have seen this kind of scene somewhere before."
At this moment, Lei Xiao, who was walking in the dense forest, looked at the long line of residents behind him and couldn't help but curled his lips slightly.
"You're from another world. You really helped me a lot this time."
On the other side, Ariel's long eyelashes were seen flickering, and she smiled slightly at Lei Xiao with some embarrassment.
At this point, it can be clearly seen.
Ariel's delicate face was filled with gratitude from the bottom of her heart, which was obviously much better than her previous resistance to Lei Xiao.
Noticing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and responded: "However, even if all these residents can be rescued this time, you still can't really change anything. You should know this better than me."
"You're right, that's all I can do."
Hearing this, Ariel lowered her eyebrows and sighed softly: "But again, it's much better than doing nothing."
After finishing speaking, Ariel suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness in her heart again.
I have to say that even this time, it was only with the help of this annoying guy in front of me that we were able to go so smoothly.
Having said that, if she had more power... maybe she could do more.
Unfortunately, from the moment she suffered multiple assassinations and was forced to leave her father's side and leave the royal capital, she had already passed the age of dreaming.
The nightmare she had experienced made her, who had been growing up in a greenhouse, realize it clearly.
This world of the weak and the strong is far more cruel than she imagined.
However, she still has dreams.
She longs for power and longs to be able to restore the peace and tranquility of the past to this country she loves so much, which has gradually begun to decay and decay.
Longing for the windmill burned by the enemy to turn again, longing for the displaced children to smile again... However, reality is often contrary to dreams.
"Even so, I will never give up on my dream!"
Gu Shang
Thinking of this, Ariel clenched her fists deeply again, her expression unwavering.
On the other side, Lei Xiao naturally saw all this.
The unyielding quality and persistence displayed by Princess Leng Yan obviously exceeded his imagination.
"Now I feel more and more that my choice was the right one."
After muttering to himself, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
The most important thing is that judging from the current situation, I am undoubtedly one step closer to successfully conquering the opponent.
"Lord, if we have a little further to go, we will be close to the control area of Lengyan Army."
At this moment, Nan Xing's rustling voice reached Lei Xiao's ears again: "My subordinates have discovered several scout teams of the Cold Flame Army in the dense forest ahead."
"Very good, continue to pay attention to the investigation."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao opened his mouth again and said: "Okay, after a while, we will completely get rid of the Holy Night Army, and then we will act according to our previous plan."
There is no doubt that since we are preparing to go to Lengyan Mountain Castle Fortress.
So, before entering, you must naturally make relevant preparations.
You know, this is a rare opportunity.
First of all, it is certain.
Through my own previous investigation and Ariel’s self-report.
Currently, the general of the Lengyan Kingdom who is sitting in the mountain fortress is the fortress general Bai Lao who is still loyal to the old king.
Therefore, it is almost impossible to attack Ariel.
However, just in case, Lei Xiao would not reveal all his power.
In addition to Ariel, he only had three people with him: Huzhang, Yecang, and Chaoyan. The sisters Hongye, Nanxing, and Nanyue were following in the dark, wearing invisibility cloaks.
It is worth mentioning that because Lei Xiao had always ordered Hong Ye to keep a low profile.
Therefore, even Ariel didn't know that there was another fifth-level powerhouse hidden in her team. This was undoubtedly Lei Xiao's best trump card.
As for Lin, Bai Wei, A Ling and A Bing, due to their weaker strength, they were only on standby around the fortress in case of emergencies.
"In addition, there are two main reasons why I chose to enter the mountain fortress."
At this time, Lei Xiao, who was walking in the forest, used his sword to push aside the half-height weeds in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "The first point is to meet this old man Bai."
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao continued to think: "Currently, the 30,000 Leng Yan Army here are divided into two parts.
Among them, 20,000 are composed of garrison troops recruited from various places, while the other 10,000 are one of the eight legions of the Lengyan royal family, which is also the troops directly under the kingdom's general Bai Lao."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao looked at Ariel's slender figure and said in his heart: "Since Bai Lao belongs to the old king, and Ariel is the old king's most beloved daughter.
Therefore, after conquering Ariel, if we can take advantage of the situation and master this power, it will undoubtedly greatly increase our own strength, of course, provided that this place is not captured by the Holy Night Army."
It is worth mentioning that before this, Lei Xiao had asked Bert and Ju Bai.
At that time, why didn't they choose to abandon Kongqing Town and go directly to the border battlefield to find Bai Lao's asylum.
The answer I got is that, first of all, Bai Lao in the border area is already in a stage where he has nothing to do, and may be attacked by his opponents at any time, both openly and secretly.
Secondly, if Sheng Ye learns that Ariel, the fifth princess of Leng Yan, is so close, she will probably be coveted by her immediately.
After all, Ariel represents the Lengyan royal family. If she can be captured alive, it will undoubtedly greatly damage the morale of the Lengyan army.
Thirdly, Ariel was on a mission to Kongqing Town as an envoy after all, so she took the opportunity to leave the royal capital.
If you go straight to the border area, once you are accused of being a collaborator by those princes, you will never be able to turn over again.
"Having said that, the second reason why I chose to enter the Mountain Fort Fortress in person is to take a closer look at this large military fortress of the Cold Flame Army."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao continued to think: "In the near future, with the expansion of our own power, we will definitely face the same scale of fortress obstruction.
Therefore, if I can put myself in their shoes and take a turn, it will undoubtedly play a very important and constructive role in my future layout."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
On the other side, Nan Xing's crisp voice came over again: "Lord Qi, there is a group of Lengyan Army scouts who have noticed our team and are quickly approaching here!"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said: "It doesn't matter, just let them come over."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao nodded to Ariel again, and the latter nodded slightly to Bert.
The next second, the strong Bert's mind moved, and a large triangular flag appeared in front of everyone.
If you look closely, you can see that the entire flag is brilliant gold, with a red shield-shaped coat of arms on it. In the middle of the coat of arms, there is a golden lion with its head held high.
There is no doubt that this is the symbol of the Lengyan royal family that represents royal power.
After a moment, a "rustling" sound was heard from the surrounding grass, and a group of rangers wearing red-striped leather armor appeared in front of everyone.
"Who is in front of you, and why are they carrying the flag of my Leng Yan royal family?"
Looking at the king's flag dancing in the wind, the leading scout captain, with his arrow on the string, frowned and asked Bert, who was holding the big flag.
"I am General Burt of the Great Axe, and the one next to me is General Orange of Holy Light."
At this time, Bert responded calmly: "As for why the king's flag is flying, don't you understand? Of course it is my Lengyan fifth princess Ariel who has arrived!"
"What?! It's actually two kingdom generals and Princess Ariel?!"
Hearing this, all the scouts couldn't help but show expressions of extreme surprise, and then they all knelt down on one knee and lowered their heads deeply.
"You don't have to be polite, please guide me to the mountain fortress as soon as possible. I want to see General Bai."
Ariel nodded slightly, and the arrogance and grace that a member of the royal family should have reappeared on Ariel's delicate face, and said calmly.
"But……"
On the other side, the leading scout captain had a troubled look on his face and began to hesitate.
