Chapter 480: Murderous intent emerges in the meeting hall
"Then it's all up to you."
Nodding in thought, Ariel frowned for a moment, and then confirmed to Lei Xiao: "Do you really want to keep this fifth-level powerhouse by my side?"
"Of course it is absolutely true."
Looking at the hint of worry on Ariel's delicate face, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and said, "What? Are you worried about me, your dear fifth princess?"
"No, don't be too sentimental."
Waving her hands in confusion, Ariel quickly said: "I'm just afraid that I'm missing a few powerful helpers!"
After finishing speaking, Ariel murmured and added: "After all, with you by my side, I feel more at ease."
"Okay, let's get down to business. As I just said, the other party will definitely divide the six of us into three or three groups in the name of reporting the battle situation, and then defeat them one by one."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao then continued to Ariel: "We are mercenaries in name, and the other party will naturally not talk too much. Therefore, the task of extracting useful information from the other party is left to us.
is you."
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
Hearing this, Ariel nodded and said seriously: "I am a general of the Cold Flame Kingdom, but I colluded with the Holy Night Army in an attempt to subvert this fortress. No matter who is behind the scenes, I will never let this person go.
!”
Hearing this, Bert and Ju Bai beside them also nodded with solemn expressions.
It is conceivable that if this mountain fortress is coordinated inside and outside, it will be breached by the Holy Night Army at the minimum cost.
Then, the other cities behind the fortress will definitely be devastated, and it will also seriously affect the lord's control of the layout of the entire eastern region of Lengyan.
Therefore, no matter what today, we must completely wipe out this undercurrent hidden in the fortress!
"Very good, then it depends on the performance of the dear Fifth Princess."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao put the tea set on the table back into the space bracelet and nodded to the knotweed.
On the other side, Huzhang understood, and immediately put on his cloak and disappeared in front of everyone.
At the same time, the powerful aura clinging to the walls of the living room also quietly dissipated.
Just like that, it didn't take long for the door of the living room to be opened again, and Ogu walked in with several Cold Flame Army commanders.
"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
After bowing to Ariel, Ogu still had that smiling look on his face and said, "The matter of reporting the military situation is ready. Please move to the meeting hall of the castle with Her Royal Highness the Princess and the two generals of the kingdom."
Speaking of this, Ogu glanced at Lei Xiao and the other three people not far away, and added: "As for these three mercenary friends, please wait a moment. After all, the next matter needs to involve me, Leng Yan."
The core secret of the kingdom."
"Understandable."
Seeing that everything was as expected, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and sat back in his original seat with Ye Cang and Chao Yan beside him.
"You can just lead the way."
On the other side, Ariel nodded slightly, with a calm expression.
There is no doubt that with Lei Xiao's analysis and inference and the fifth-level powerhouse Huzhang at her side, Leng Yan's fifth princess is already confident.
Of course, in Augu's view, this proud princess always looks the same.
However, what he didn't know was that before, Ariel did it because of ignorance, but now, it's because of fearlessness.
Next, after glancing at Lei Xiao, who was also calm and composed, Ariel followed Augu and others out of the living room, surrounded by Bert and Ju Bai.
At this time, Ariel's expression became a little confused again while walking in the spacious castle corridor.
That annoying guy from another world would actually deploy the strongest combat power to conquer the country by his side. It is simply incomprehensible.
"But having said that, since my father was seriously ill, this is the first time someone cares so much about my comfort..."
Thinking of this, Ariel quickly shook her head secretly, and murmured in her heart: "No, this guy must have another agenda, otherwise, he would not do such a thing!"
Realizing this, Ariel frowned slightly for a moment, then relaxed her brows again.
I saw her sighing softly at first, and then thinking: "However, although I don't want to admit it, I am just a down-and-out princess with no power now. With his great power, what can he do to me?"
Something that catches his eye?"
At this moment, Ariel swallowed involuntarily when she remembered that Huzhang, Nanxing, Nanyue, Chaoyan, and Lei Xiao himself were all wearing the fifth-level divine weapons for the country.
I have to say that at this point alone, this incredible alien lord is simply unfathomable.
After all, even if we look at the entire Leng Yan royal family, there are only two fifth-level magic weapons, the sword of the ancestor King of Heroes, and the lance of Peilan, the leader of the Earthly Dragon Knights who lived in the same era as our ancestors!
"Since the end of the era of the ancestral hero king, no five-level forging master has been born in the Cold Flame Kingdom and the neighboring Holy Night Kingdom."
"No one has the ability to create it. This is the main reason why fifth-level magic weapons are scarce, in addition to the extremely rare raw materials and the limited forging efficiency."
Sighing again, Ariel continued to think: "Looking back at history, even the Leng Yan ancestors have spent huge sums of money to acquire fifth-level magic weapons more than once, but in the end they got nothing."
Thinking of this, Ariel shook her head helplessly.
It's no wonder, after all, the fifth-level magic weapon will greatly enhance the user's strength, which can hardly be measured by money.
No country is willing to sell magic weapons of this level to other potential opponents, because no one knows whether one day the opponent will swing the blade of the magic weapon towards them.
"Even my Lengyan royal family has had difficulty obtaining magical weapons for hundreds of years. How did that guy get so many of them? It's simply unbelievable."
Realizing this, Ariel, whose mind was filled with questions, cheered up and turned her attention back to Ogu in front of her.
"Don't think about that guy now. The top priority is to find out who is behind the scenes and protect this mountain fortress... However, that guy sent a fifth-level strongman to my place. Once there is danger, how will that guy deal with himself? Save?"
Just when Ariel was distracted, under the guidance of Augu, they had arrived at the door of a spacious and bright meeting hall.
"Your Highness Princess, please come inside."
Bowing slightly to Ariel, Augu smiled.
Next, they went straight into the meeting hall, and Ariel noticed.
Valley Brick
The area here is extremely spacious, even divided into upper and lower floors, just like a small theater.
In a conspicuous position in the center of the hall, there is a huge sand table.
If you look closely, you can see that there are three-dimensional topography and landforms depicted in detail on it, as well as many miniature soldiers in two different colors of red and blue.
Seeing this, Ariel nodded slightly.
Having received a complete royal education since she was a child, she is naturally no stranger to this kind of military sandbox. What is shown above is exactly the current distribution of enemies and enemies in the border area.
On the other side, looking at Ariel's thoughtful expression, Ogu was obviously not ready to report the battle situation immediately, but clapped his hands gently.
Immediately afterwards, surrounded by two groups of soldiers, a group of servants walked in carrying steaming meals and dining tables and chairs.
"Your Royal Highness, the two generals of the kingdom, you have worked hard all the way. It is already past noon. You three haven't had your meal yet, right?"
After the tables, chairs and food were arranged, Ogu smiled slightly and said, "How about filling your stomach first and then doing business?"
"I didn't expect Vice Admiral Augu to be so thoughtful."
Hearing this, Ariel raised her eyebrows slightly, sat down at the dining table without hesitation, and then continued to Aogu: "I wonder if General Aogu has already eaten?"
"Go back to Your Highness Princess. Before your arrival, the villain has been supervising the defense in the fortress and has not bothered to have a meal."
On the other side, Ogu's face still maintained a smile, and he responded immediately.
"Deputy General Ogu has a lot of things to do every day. It's really hard work."
As Ariel laid out the white napkin in front of her, she seemed to say casually: "We are guests here, and you are the host. In that case, please invite Vice Admiral Augu to dine with us."
Hearing this, Augu couldn't help being stunned, and quickly waved his hands and said: "The villain is just a martial artist, even if he is sitting at the same table with Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"One of my royal mottos, Leng Yan, is that the warriors who loyally protect Leng Yan, regardless of their title or origin, are qualified to sit at the same table as members of the royal family."
Looking directly into Ogu's somewhat cloudy eyes in front of her, Ariel said calmly: "A normal soldier is like this, let alone you, the deputy general of Ogu who currently commands three fortresses?"
At this point, Ariel looked indifferent and added: "Therefore, there is no problem for Vice Admiral Augu to sit here."
"Your Highness the Princess has spoken harshly, but I still don't dare."
On the other side, Ogu waved his hand again and refused: "These are what villains should do, and they are not worth mentioning."
"Vice-General Augu, Her Royal Highness the Princess has invited you again and again, why have you declined so many times?"
I saw Bert standing behind Ariel, and then he said in a deep voice: "Is it because you have a ghost in your heart that you can't bear the words "Guarding the Cold Flame", or is there something fishy about this meal?"
After speaking, Bert's old voice became a little deeper and he continued to question: "Or is it both?"
"General Axe, what are you talking about... This kind of joke is not fun."
After hearing this, Ogu immediately smiled awkwardly, trying to confuse the audience.
However, when he noticed the sharp looks from Ariel, Bert and Orange, his laughter stopped abruptly.
Immediately afterwards, the look on Augu's face began to darken quickly, and he said coldly: "It seems that you have already seen some clues, so there is no need for me to act like a smiling tiger in front of you.
"
At this point, Ogu, who had a sinister face and a completely different expression than before, calmly walked to the dining table and casually knocked over a plate of exquisite pastries.
The next second, there was a crisp sound of broken plates, the pieces scattered, and the delicate pastries scattered on the ground, and then a thick black mist emerged.
"Originally, I planned to let you be captured comfortably...Since you want to resist, no wonder this general is ruthless!"
After he finished speaking, a two-handed sword with flashing cold light appeared from Ogu's big hand.
Behind him, the three commanders of the Leng Yan Army, whose strength was at the peak of the third level, also drew out the long swords at their waists, sneered and made ready attacks.
At the same time, the door to the meeting hall suddenly closed, and a large amount of the strong aura that had been hidden in the hidden barrier began to be revealed without reservation.
In a moment, the second floor of the meeting hall was filled with black-clothed crossbowmen exuding impressive aura. Sharp arrows flashed and were aimed condescendingly at Ariel and the three of them.
Judging from the aura, the momentum of these men in black is obviously above the level of second-level senior experts, and their number is enough to make up two squadrons.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became extremely tense.
There is no doubt that as a fourth-level powerhouse, Ogu himself, three third-level peak powerhouses, plus the two teams upstairs, each team is enough to compete with the elite spy squadron of a fourth-level senior powerhouse.
This kind of strength has obviously far surpassed the three Ariel people on the surface.
"Did you really expose yourself? Ogu, you are such a liar!"
Seeing this, Ariel looked stern. First, she and Bert and Ju Bai beside her took out their own weapons, and then asked: "What on earth do you want to do?"
"These soldiers in black are all elite spies sent by the Kingdom of Holy Night. Each of them possesses ruthless assassination skills. Therefore, this general is not completely telling lies."
With a sinister smile, Ogu, holding a huge sword, said leisurely: "As for what this general wants to do, the answer is very obvious."
After finishing his words, Augu swung the giant sword in his hand and said solemnly: "Of course it is to capture you, the fifth princess of Leng Yan, and then hand it over to Sheng Ye's side."
At this time, the smile on Ogu's face grew stronger, and he said ferociously: "Of course, if you insist on resisting, sending your bodies over will be considered a great achievement."
Having said this, Ogu smiled coldly at Ariel and continued: "Originally, my general's purpose was just to assist the Holy Night Army in capturing these three fortresses, but I didn't expect that you guys actually came to the door yourself!
"
"It's exactly what that guy inferred."
Realizing this in her heart, Ariel clenched the staff in her hand and said solemnly: "So, you are the mastermind behind the Holy Night?"
"I didn't expect that Her Highness the Fifth Princess would be even smarter than the cold flame vase that the rumors describe her as."
On the other side, Augu looked determined to win, and did not hide it, and immediately responded: "Yes, that's exactly it!"
