"For your information, Lord, first of all, Mr. Bai is not imprisoned in this castle, but in a place similar to a cellar."
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Ye Cang pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and continued: "However, since it was a dark and windy night, the specific location is not yet clear. We can only infer that it is somewhere in the distance.
The castle is about a hundred meters away."
"Very good, that's enough."
Nodding slightly to Ye Cang, Lei Xiao immediately began to read, telling Nan Yue everything to Nan Yue who was secretly investigating in the fortress, and ordered him to focus on the investigation.
"Great, we can finally find General Bai!"
Hearing this, Ariel's delicate face was full of surprise, and she looked at Lei Xiao excitedly.
At this time, while being excited, Ariel's heart was full of emotions.
If this guy from another world hadn't been willing to accompany him here, I'm afraid he would have been a piece of fish on a knife-edge by now.
"Although I don't want to admit it, this guy did help me a lot. This time, he saved my life."
Taking a deep breath, Ariel's eyes flickered as she continued to think: "What's more important is that the powerful energy under this guy's command is simply unbelievable..."
While Ariel was thinking to herself.
On the other side, Lei Xiao ordered the subordinates present to start cleaning the battlefield while continuing to listen to Ye Cang's report.
"Lord, what the other party said about the Holy Night Army's attack is also true. The time is exactly one hour before sunrise tomorrow morning, and the 80,000 Holy Night Army almost came out in full force."
Immediately afterwards, Ye Cang's slightly awe-inspiring voice sounded again.
"Eighty thousand Holy Night Army..."
Hearing this, everyone present could not help but look solemn.
You know, the 80,000 Holy Night Army is at least equivalent to the combat power of eight fifth-level powerhouses!
This is still under the condition that all members are of the same level, not to mention that the strength of the elite troops and commanders at all levels is undoubtedly far beyond this level!
"After Ogu's troubles, our command system has been greatly damaged."
After pondering for a moment, Bert couldn't help but shook his head and said: "From this, if the Holy Night Army really comes out in full force, even without the rebels cooperating inside and outside, I am afraid these three fortresses will not be able to hold on for long."
"You are right. In addition to Ogu himself and several rebel commanders, General Bai is also seriously injured. Once the soldiers learn this, I am afraid that their morale will be severely damaged."
A rustling voice sounded, and Ju Bai sighed softly, and then added.
"So, these three fortresses are in danger?"
Hearing this, Ariel couldn't help but have a nervous expression appear on her fair face again, and she blurted out.
On the other side, facing Ariel's inquiry, Bert and Jubai looked at each other, and both shook their heads helplessly.
At this stage, the internal fighting in the royal capital is intensifying, coupled with the Holy Night army's pressure on the territory.
There was no sign of reinforcements at the rear, but there were powerful enemies waiting in the front, which put the morale of the 30,000 Lengyan Army at a low level.
What's more, there are still 20,000 people among them, all of whom are a miscellaneous army temporarily put together by the garrison forces from various places. Their combat effectiveness is relatively weak to begin with, and they also lack magic troops who are good at long-range strikes.
The above-mentioned unfavorable conditions indeed make it difficult for these three fortresses to hold on for too long.
"You're from another world, do you have any good ways to defend yourself against powerful enemies?"
Immediately afterwards, Ariel quickly came to Lei Xiao without hesitation and asked eagerly.
"Of course there is a way."
Waving his hand slightly, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said: "It is true that we have many disadvantages now, but we have an unparalleled and huge advantage."
"A huge advantage?"
Hearing this, Ariel, who was already flustered, looked happy and asked quickly.
"That is to use the trick to pretend to cooperate with the Holy Night Army internally and externally, and then catch the opponent by surprise."
Waving his hand to indicate to Ariel that there was no need to be nervous, Lei Xiao, who had a calm look on his face, suddenly sharpened his eyes and said slowly: "As long as the opponent is beaten to the point of pain and fear, the safety of this place will naturally be guaranteed for a period of time in the future.
"
Needless to say, for a mountain fortress with a complete urn city, achieving this is not a problem.
As long as the Holy Night Army, which they thought was infallible, could be successfully let in, the next step would be to catch a turtle in a jar without any suspense.
"I'm afraid these Holy Night commanders, who are preparing to occupy the fortress in one fell swoop and are complacent about their plans, never thought that an invisible net has been draped over their heads."
Having said this, Lei Xiao continued to smile.
"What the lord said is absolutely true."
On the other side, Ye Cang's elegant voice rang out: "According to the information that my subordinates just learned, the secret code set by Augu and the other party is a kind of flare-type magic scroll activated by a special spell."
After speaking, Ye Cang bowed slightly to Lei Xiao and continued: "Currently, this scroll is hidden in Augu's room, and the special spell used to activate it has been fully mastered by my subordinates.
"
"Very good, I'll get the scroll back later, and then I'll leave the task of transmitting the signal to you."
Nodding to Ye Cang, Lei Xiao turned his head and said to Ariel: "As for the problem of our lack of commanders, it can be better solved."
Having said this, Lei Xiao's dark eyes moved and finally landed on Bert and Ju Bai. He smiled slightly and said: "In addition to Mr. Bai, we have two kingdom generals here who are as famous as Mr. Bai. Could it be that
Will we still lose to the opponent at this point?"
There is no doubt that Bert and Jubai are both hard-working generals of the Kingdom who have experienced large and small battles and climbed up from the bottom step by step.
Many of the battles he commanded were regarded as classic cases of the Noble Academy and were widely circulated among the Lengyan Army.
From this, it is clear that the two of them are first-rate in terms of their reputation in the Lengyan Army and their own commanding abilities.
"You are right!"
Hearing this, Ariel's starry eyes lit up and she said happily: "Just like what you said, as long as we follow the plan, coupled with the command of Qing Bert and Qing Jubai, it is obviously not impossible to defeat the Holy Night Army.
thing!"
"Of course, there is one more crucial thing."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao continued: "That's you, the fifth princess of Leng Yan."
"I? What do you mean by this?"
Ariel blinked her starry eyes in confusion and asked.
"Currently, the morale of the three fortresses is low. This is also a very big problem."
Nodding slightly to Ariel, Lei Xiao replied: "Therefore, when the Holy Night Army is about to attack the city, as long as you, the fifth princess of Leng Yan, raise your arms and are willing to fight side by side with the soldiers, I believe that
The morale of the Leng Yan Army will be greatly improved soon."
Lei Xiao had already understood this before.
Gu tight
As a member of the royal family, Ariel has a high reputation in Lengyan's country. In addition to her outstanding appearance, she has a kind and pure heart, which is also something people talk about.
Moreover, the fact that he was forced to leave the royal capital had already spread throughout Lengyan's military and political circles, making many people sigh.
To sum up, if Ariel can stand up and fight for this fortress at this time, it will obviously improve the morale of the soldiers to a considerable extent.
In addition, the reputation of the three princes is declining day by day.
As long as this fortress is preserved, Ariel's reputation will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.
The ebb and flow of one another can also play a vital role in controlling Leng Yan's layout.
"As for whether this move will attract the attention of the three princes, of course it is for sure."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao continued to think: "However, as long as the Holy Night Army can be made to retreat and give the three of them more time to fight for power, the other party will not interfere more. Instead, they have to thank this "stupid"
's sister"."
On the other side, after hearing Lei Xiao's words, Ariel nodded immediately and said without hesitation: "How can I rekindle the soldiers' fighting spirit? Of course I am obligated."
"Very good, then there is only one last question left."
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao first glanced at Ogu, who was already blind, and then frowned at the burly priest beside him and said, "Ye Cang, how many accomplices does this guy have?"
"Back to the lord, all the major forces in the castle have been cleared by us."
Bowing to Lei Xiao, Ye Cang responded: "There are several squadrons of ordinary soldiers outside, but they are all unaware. It is easy to catch them all in one fell swoop."
"Understood."
Hearing this and seeing that Huzhang, Hongye and Chaoyan had already cleaned up the battlefield and harvested a lot of loot, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and then motioned for the three of them to collect it first.
The current situation is urgent, so naturally it is not the time to take stock of the loot.
Immediately afterwards, the reminder sound for Lei Xiao's words rang.
After the call was connected, Nanyue's clear voice immediately reached Lei Xiao's ears: "I would like to inform the lord, my subordinate has found a suspicious cellar!"
"Tell me the detailed location and we'll go there right away."
After hearing the sound, Lei Xiao left Chaoyan and Yecang, as well as a team of earth guardians, to guard the various parts of the castle and Augu.
Immediately, he took Huzhang and Hongye, plus Ariel, Bert, and Jubai, and galloped away in the direction described by Nanyue.
That's it, it didn't take long.
A group of six people wearing invisibility cloaks met Nan Yue.
Looking around, this is a stone hut converted from a fortress. It looks like it should be the residence of the castle gardener or gardener.
However, judging from the slightly messy layout around it, it seems that no one has lived there for a while.
"Lord, this place is relatively close to the castle, but it is also the most remote place nearby. It seems that Naogu must have been preparing for a long time to imprison Bai Lao."
Seeing this, the tall and burly Huzhang bowed to Lei Xiao.
"That's true. As the saying goes, it's better to come early than to come in time. Let's go in and have a look."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao immediately nodded to the petite Nan Yue beside him.
Just like that, Lei Xiao walked straight into the door of the room and discovered.
All the furniture here has been evacuated, and there are a large number of sundries and wooden boxes piled everywhere. It looks extremely chaotic, and it is obviously deliberately arranged to hide from others.
"Lord, in the hut over here."
Immediately afterwards, Nan Yue's crisp voice reached Lei Xiao's ears again: "This room originally had a large iron door, but it has been removed by my subordinates..."
Arriving inside the hut, Lei Xiao noticed.
It's dimly lit here, and it's also filled with clutter.
However, there was a vacant space in the middle, which had obviously been moved not long ago.
Above the ground, a square metal door leading to the ground suddenly appeared.
"It is indeed a very hidden place."
Frowning slightly, Ariel walked forward eagerly, only to find that the metal door was filled with light and exuded a rock-solid aura.
"Is there a three-level magic ban? This is not a problem for me."
Realizing this, Ariel looked stern, and several small golden magic circles emerged from around her, making the dark room shine.
Within a moment, along with a familiar sound of glass breaking, the magical light on the metal door dissipated without a trace.
"As expected of your dear fifth princess, you still have a few tricks up your sleeve."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and nodded to the knotweed beside him.
Just like that, with a slightly harsh sound of metal friction, the metal door was easily pulled up by the knotweed.
Next, under the lead of the Japanese knotweed, go all the way down the earthen stairs.
It didn't take a while before a group of six people came to a dark cellar.
Under the light of the light crystal, Lei Xiao looked around and noticed.
The area here is not very spacious. In the center, there is a pure black metal cage that exudes a strange aura.
A burly figure with disheveled hair was sitting cross-legged in a cage with his back to everyone.
Lei Xiao had seen this black metal cage once before in the dungeon of Kongqing Town. It not only had a force-relieving effect, but was also very strong.
Moreover, the enchanted force-removing magic circle will only be used by important and powerful people.
"Ogu, give up on this idea. I will not join in the same deeds with you."
At this moment, an old and awe-inspiring voice came from the figure behind.
Although the voice revealed obvious firmness and unshakeability, it sounded very weak, indicating that its owner was obviously seriously injured.
"Old General Bai, it's me, I'm here to save you!"
On the other side, Ariel walked forward and spoke eagerly.
Hearing the sound, the burly figure shook his body and suddenly turned around.
Immediately afterwards, a haggard and incredibly old face came into everyone's eyes: "Your Highness, how come you are here?!"
