"Since you are a mercenary, no matter how much this Princess Lengyan pays to hire you, I, Shengye, will pay you twice as much! Moreover, I will no longer hold you responsible for any of your previous actions!"
Facing Lei Xiao with what he thought was a sincere smile, Augu tentatively said: "300,000 golden dragons... no, 500,000 golden dragons, what do you think?"
At this point, Ogu added: "As long as you promise not to interfere in this matter, you can honor it immediately when the mountain fortress falls tomorrow morning!"
After finishing his words, Augu smiled proudly, with an expression of determination to win.
You know, 500,000 golden dragons, this is a huge amount of money that ordinary people cannot earn in a hundred lifetimes!
Even for an upper-middle-class noble, it was enough to impress him, let alone three mercenaries that even a down-and-out princess could afford to hire.
Not far away, Ariel heard the sound, and her expression suddenly became a little ugly.
For her who had always had no worries about food and drink, apart from the many trump cards she had, she had not been able to save many golden dragons, only more than 100,000 gold dragons at best.
Moreover, she also clearly understood that 500,000 golden dragons was indeed not a small number.
The most important thing is that for the guy whose true identity is actually the lord of another world.
Money is one thing, but if she, the down-and-out Lengyan Princess, can be handed over to the Kingdom of Holy Night, it will naturally be equivalent to making friends with the senior leaders of Holy Night who hold the core power.
This is undoubtedly the biggest temptation.
As you can imagine, although that guy was very tough on his words.
However, choosing to offend a powerful kingdom for the sake of a down-and-out princess like her who can't even protect herself is obviously not a wise choice.
"That annoying guy won't really hand me over, will he?"
Realizing this, Ariel's throat rolled up on her white neck, she swallowed uneasily, and looked at Lei Xiao with an uneasy look on her face.
For a moment, the eyes of everyone present were focused on Lei Xiao.
On the other side, after hearing Augu's seductive words and feeling Ariel's faint uneasiness, Lei Xiao could not help but shake his head.
For Ariel, who does not fully understand her own strength, this is indeed understandable.
After all, in Ariel's view, even if she has the loyalty of a fifth-level powerhouse, her territory is just a small Kongqing Town.
Compared with a huge kingdom, it is naturally insignificant.
"Now, I not only have Kongqing Town, Mailan Town, Cishi Town, Red Arrow Town, Shuiyue City, Fenglong City, and seven cities in Shanjing Principality under my command, but also, regarding the next control of the eastern region of Lengyan
The layout is also being carried out in an orderly manner."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao continued to think: "From this, the ridiculous conditions offered by the other party are naturally not worth mentioning."
In addition, Lei Xiao understands clearly.
Facing the almost unknown Holy Night Kingdom, at this stage, it is undoubtedly best to have as little contact as possible.
After all, the Lengyan royal family on the surface and the mysterious organization behind the scenes are enough to keep us busy, and it is not necessary to involve the Holy Night Kingdom.
As for those high-ranking and powerful people in Holy Night, Lei Xiao has no interest at all.
When the time comes, we will tell them everything with an iron fist instead of using our knees to please them now.
By then, these natives will deeply realize how stupid it is to underestimate and indiscriminately kill alien lords.
All in all, as long as we can ensure that the three fortresses of the Lengyan Army will not be captured by the Holy Night Army.
In this way, the pressure of the border battlefield will naturally remain on the heads of the Lengyan royal family, or the three princes, thereby buying more time for their own development.
"Having said that, as for whether this will attract the attention of Shengye's senior management, there is no need to worry."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao smiled sternly and said in his heart: "As long as all the opponents here are dealt with, the news will naturally not spread."
Before that, Lei Xiao had already ordered Lin, Bai Wei, A Ling and A Bing, who had been waiting outside the fortress, to sneak in secretly.
And, guard every exit of this castle.
Therefore, even if there is a fish that slips through the net, it will never escape from our second secret blockade.
Taking a step back, even the Holy Night Kingdom finally learned that Ariel, the fifth princess of Leng Yan, had been here and foiled their conspiracy.
Moreover, after some investigation, he successfully deduced that all of this may be related to himself, the apparent Lord of Kongqing City, and then cast his sights on it.
However, by that time, I am afraid that our own power will no longer be what it used to be.
At this moment, looking at Ariel's confused eyes and Aogu who was determined to win, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and then said: "500,000 golden dragons is indeed a very impressive number..."
Speaking of this, Lei Xiao deliberately lengthened his tone and took a big breath to observe the two of them.
As expected, Ariel's expression began to become more and more nervous, while Ogu became more and more proud.
At this time, Lei Xiao continued to smile and said again: "Unfortunately, I have no idea about golden dragons, so the situation is naturally self-evident."
After speaking, looking at Ariel who was suddenly surprised with her delicate face, and Aogu who looked gloomy and seemed to be about to have an attack at any time, Lei Xiao did not hesitate, then waved his hand and said lightly: "Okay, let's end this.
It’s a farce.”
"Kill me..." The next second, Ogu, who knew that the situation was not good, was about to issue an order to kill everyone.
Accompanied by bursts of unexpected frightened screams.
Huzhang and Hongye, who had been lurking on the second floor for a long time, had already taken the initiative and launched attacks from both directions at the same time.
For a moment, the swords, swords, shadows and bright red intertwined, and the entire scene instantly changed from extremely still to extremely dynamic.
Because the space on the two floors is relatively narrow.
Coupled with the two elite squadrons of Holy Night Army soldiers, they stood very densely, with all their attention focused on Lei Xiao and Ariel below.
Therefore, he was caught off guard, under the attack of the two-handed sword of the tiger stick, and Hong Ye's extremely sharp claw attack.
A large number of soldiers were like headless flies, either bumping into each other, or falling from high places. The scene was extremely chaotic.
However, these second-level elite spies of the Holy Night Army are extremely well-trained after all.
In just a moment, they regained their footing and began to raise their crossbows with murderous intent on their faces, and pulled the triggers without hesitation.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The next second, a large number of sharp arrows, mixed with the biting wind filled with the smell of blood, were already shooting towards the knotweed and Hongye respectively!
However, when the sharp arrow was about to approach their bodies.
A set of khaki and a set of dark red translucent armor emerged from the sky.
Faintly, with the crisp sound of metal collision, these arrows were easily blocked.
Because it all happened in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this scene, Aogu's face was ashen, and his turbid eyes filled with bloodshot eyes were about to burst. He said in disbelief: "This is an energy barrier that only a fifth-level strong man who can conquer the country has the ability to condense?!"
"
"Besides that burly man, there is actually a fifth-level powerhouse?!"
Looking up at the red night that exuded a terrifying aura, Ariel's fair cheeks could not suppress a look of shock and excitement.
Immediately afterwards, her crystal starry eyes moved downward again, and finally landed on Lei Xiao, who was standing calmly beside her, causing huge waves in her heart.
She never thought that this guy who had just arrived for a while would actually have the loyalty of two fifth-level powerhouses at the national level!
You know, in terms of top combat power alone, this is already on par with the Lengyan royal family where she belongs!
"No wonder this guy would place that burly man beside me. It turns out that there is another female fifth-level strongman beside him!"
Thinking of this, Ariel's long eyelashes flickered while looking at Lei Xiao's gentle face.
While secretly sighing in his heart: "Speaking of which, the last time I was in the place where my ancestors slept, he was the only one who was teleported in. I have to say that this unexpected guy can always bring...
People are surprised and unbelievable..."
At the same time, the crushing battle on the second floor was still continuing.
Facing the concentrated fire of a second-level elite squadron, it may still pose a huge threat to an ordinary fourth-level strong man.
But for Huzhang and Hongye, who are fifth-level powerhouses, it is naturally of no importance.
It didn't take long before a series of extremely sharp and deadly trajectories passed by.
Under the violent blows of giant sword blades and sharp claws, the two squadrons of elite secret agents who had no way to escape and no escape were quickly killed and wounded.
Among the corpses scattered everywhere, broken crossbows and curled-edged daggers were scattered on the ground.
These elite Holy Night spies who usually act as assassins and reapers never expected that they would be defeated so neatly today, just like the targets they had killed before.
"If you aim your arrow at an opponent you shouldn't provoke, this is what will happen."
Looking expressionlessly at the battle on the second floor, which was about to come to an end, Lei Xiao's eyes moved and finally landed on Ogu and the three rebel commanders not far in front of him.
At this moment, looking at the four people in front of him who were almost trembling, Lei Xiao said calmly to Ye Cang and Chao Yan around him: "Go, there is no need to hold anything back except for the mastermind behind the scenes."
"As you command! Sir!"
Hearing this, the two men, who were already ready to go, took the order, and then one of them jumped into the air, while the other clenched his fists and walked straight up.
At the same time, under Ariel's signal, Bert and Orange, who had hidden their subordinate identities, also followed with gloomy expressions.
"Even if I die, I will take one with me!"
On the other side, Ogu, who had a murderous look on his face, flashed the cold light of the giant sword in his hand, and rushed over with three third-level peak experts.
For a moment, the fireball and the sword energy intertwined, and the two sides were fighting together.
There is no doubt that although both sides have the same number of people, all of them are Tier 4 experts, so they obviously have an overwhelming advantage.
As a result, under the thunderous offensive, in the blink of an eye, it seemed that only Augu was left in the entire meeting hall.
As for the four people on our side, they were naturally uninjured.
In the end, with the addition of Japanese knotweed, Ogu was quickly and completely subdued on the spot.
"Ye Cang, go see if there is any other information on that guy that has not been unearthed."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao immediately nodded slightly to his burly priest.
Naturally, Lei Xiao wouldn't talk too much to such a cruel guy.
If one of our own had not appeared, Ariel and the other three would have been killed on the spot by this guy.
"As you command, my lord."
Hearing this, Ye Cang bowed gracefully, and a long-awaited look suddenly appeared on his angular face.
Next, I saw a slightly weird smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, pushing up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and slowly walked towards Ogu, who was already bound to the ground.
"What do you want to do?"
On the other side, Ogu, who was unable to move, suddenly felt a chill coming over him and struggled subconsciously.
"Don't worry, it will be over soon."
When he got closer, Ye Cang's gold-rimmed glasses immediately reflected a jet-black light.
The next second, Augu, who was struggling crazily, stopped suddenly.
A pair of frightened, cloudy eyes quickly changed from panic to apathy. The slowly dilated pupils finally reflected the metal skull necklace on Ye Cang's chest, which was shining with a strange brilliance.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
Ever since the last secret agent in Kongqing Town infiltrated the incident and discovered Ye Cang, who was good at spiritual attacks and had a unique talent for interrogation, he had always kept it in mind.
However, since Ogu's strength is not much lower than Ye Cang's, his resistance to mental attacks will naturally be very high.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, Lei Xiao chose the previous strategy.
On the other side, Ariel, who also saw this scene, quickly reacted and looked eagerly at Ye Cang, who was peering into the depths of Ogu's mind.
It can be known from Ogu's previous description.
Before dawn tomorrow morning, the Holy Night Army will launch a large-scale battle and cooperate with the inside and outside to capture this fortress.
In addition, the current whereabouts of Bai Lao, the general of the kingdom, are unknown, so time is of the essence.
It is undoubtedly an urgent matter to quickly obtain more useful details from the other party.
Otherwise, once this mountain fortress falls and the Holy Night Army marches in, the consequences will be really disastrous.
By then, more Lengyan people will surely be ravaged and tortured by the flames of war!
Just when Ariel was anxious.
On the other side, Ye Cang slowly opened his closed eyes, then bowed to Lei Xiao and said, "Sir, everything is under control."
