"General Bai, we'll talk about other things later. The most urgent thing is to rescue you first!"
Looking at the extremely weak white-haired old man in front of her, Ariel waved her hand to signal him not to move, and then said.
"I thank you, Princess, but there are five levels of magic restrictions imposed on this force-removing cage. Even that bastard Ogu can't open it by himself."
Shaking his head helplessly, Bai Lao, who was covered with bruises, sighed heavily and said: "Unless Mr. Wu, who has been accompanying my king all the time, comes here, it is impossible for others to open it."
"this……"
Listening to Bai Lao's sigh, and feeling the strange energy fluctuations coming from the black cage, the eagerness on Ariel's delicate face suddenly froze on the spot.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
He had already understood it before.
There are two strong men of the fifth level who are loyal to the Leng Yan royal family. One is the "White Knight" who is currently under the command of the eldest prince, and the other is the "Mr. Wu" in Bai Lao's mouth.
"It is said that these two fifth-level powerhouses are quite mysterious, especially "Mr. Wu", whose true appearance has only been seen by the old king himself. He is a powerful fifth-level magic powerhouse."
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao continued to think: "It is precisely because there is a "white knight" in the royal capital to check and balance the eldest prince's faction, that the most powerful eldest prince has never been able to control the situation.
Win the fight for power.”
"As for the "White Knight", it is rumored that he is also an extremely low-key and mysterious physics powerhouse. He always wears a set of pure white knight armor and a closed knight helmet. Very few people know his true identity."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao said to himself: "I have to say, these two mysterious fifth-level experts are really very curious. I must be able to encounter them soon as I move forward.
Bar."
"Having said that, although the five levels of magic restrictions can make it hard for others, they certainly can't make it hard for me."
Thinking of this, looking at Ariel with lowered eyebrows, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "Why don't you let my people try it?"
"You?"
Hearing the sound, Ariel was stunned and sighed: "But, the two people around you are not both strong in the physics department..."
Before Ariel could finish speaking, Lei Xiao had already nodded to Hong Ye beside him.
On the other side, Hongye understood and came straight to the black cage.
"No need to waste your efforts. I have just said that this is a fifth-level magic restriction. You can't open it..."
Opposite him, the scarred old man Bai shook his head and sighed helplessly.
However, Bai Lao's words have not yet completely finished.
Hongye, who was slender and slender, had already stretched out a white slender finger and lightly touched the black cage.
The next second, a strong wave of energy suddenly rippled out.
There was a crisp sound of the chain breaking, and the black cage in front of him opened in response.
"Hit... is it open? A fifth-level magic powerhouse?!"
After seeing this scene, not only Bai Lao, who was already heartbroken, but also Ariel on the side looked at Lei Xiao with a look of shock.
There is no doubt that what surprised Mr. Bai was that there was actually a fifth-level powerhouse beside Lei Xiao.
Ariel, on the other hand, never thought that the female fifth-level powerhouse with a calm face and ruthless attacks could break the fifth-level magic restriction in addition to her powerful physical attack ability!
"It's just a basic exercise, don't be 6."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and then said: "Okay, let's seize the time to treat General Bai's injuries."
Because the previous Hongye did not show the talent of a powerful magician, and Bai Lao, whose strength was suppressed, his perception ability also dropped significantly.
Therefore, the reaction of the two people was naturally expected.
"Qing Bert, Qing Jubai, and General Bai will be left to you."
After being surprised, Ariel nodded quickly after hearing Lei Xiao's words.
In this way, after Bert helped Mr. Bai out of the black cage, Orange Bai, who was a Holy Light Priest with a special profession and a Holy Sword Priest, immediately started treatment.
"Holy Word of Light!"
After reciting a difficult-to-speak incantation, followed by a soft drink, golden soft light suddenly rippled on the orange-white hands, and then began to cover the surface of Bai Lao's body.
The next second, the temperature in the entire humid and cold cellar seemed to rise a lot due to the soft energy fluctuations symbolizing the power of life.
At the same time, many of the skin on Lao Bai's exposed, muscular body that was still bruised and red began to return to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"General Bert, General Orange and White, I didn't expect you to come too."
After a while, Bai Lao, whose face had already gained a lot of color, said gratefully: "It's really thanks to you."
Having said this, a look of embarrassment appeared on Bai Lao's old and resolute face.
As one of the oldest generals in the Lengyan royal family, he has always had a scornful attitude towards these two rising stars who have climbed up from the bottom, believing that they are not qualified to be as famous as him.
Unexpectedly, one day I would receive help from two people in this manner.
Realizing this, Bai Lao couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that I was undoubtedly too arrogant and superficial in the past.
"You're welcome, General Bai. You have always been a role model for the two of us. This is what we should do."
Hearing this, Ju Bai first looked at each other and smiled, then responded with a smile.
Next, after thanking Bert and Ju Bai for a few more words, Bai Lao's eyes moved and finally fell on Lei Xiao.
He has recovered some strength and can clearly feel it.
In addition to the female fifth-level powerhouse just now, there is actually a fifth-level powerhouse beside this indifferent young man!
"There are actually two fifth-level powerhouses at the national level who are loyal to them. Where does this guy come from?!"
Realizing this, a look of awe suddenly appeared on Lao Bai's face.
For him, who has fought for the Lengyan royal family until old age, he naturally clearly understands that the strong men of the fifth level are the absolute symbol of royal power!
How could such a big shot with such a strong background appear here?
"However, judging from the current situation, this person is obviously a friend rather than an enemy."
Thinking of this, Mr. Bai first nodded to Lei Xiao to express his gratitude, and then said: "Your Excellency, why do you want to help us?"
"General Bai, I think you made a mistake."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "It's not you I'm helping, but Ariel."
"I see."
Valley niche
Staring into Lei Xiao's eyes for a moment, Bai Lao took a deep breath and said: "Anyway, thank you so much, Your Excellency!"
After finishing speaking, Mr. Bai stood up with the support of Bert and bowed deeply to Lei Xiao.
At this time, Bai Lao understood clearly.
Princess Ariel, Burt and Orange and White alone would never be able to come here.
From this, this young man with a calm face obviously played a decisive role.
The most important thing is that although I don’t know the motive and purpose of doing this.
However, as the battle for the royal capital intensified.
To be honest, Ariel is just a destitute princess with no power.
Bai Lao really couldn't imagine what this young man with the loyalty of two fifth-level powerhouses could get from Ariel.
On the other hand, Mr. Bai feels that it is more appropriate to say that Princess Ariel has found a strong backer.
"Old General Bai is so polite. If you want to thank me, I'd rather thank the princess."
Nodding slightly to the white-haired old man who still looked weak, Lei Xiao looked at Ariel and said.
"Old minister, thank you, Your Highness the Princess!"
Immediately afterwards, Bai Lao knelt down on one knee and said to Ariel without hesitation.
"Old General Bai, please get up quickly. It's important to treat the injury at the moment."
She quickly signaled to Bert who was standing aside, and after helping him up, Ariel smiled and said: "Old General Bai, you don't need to thank me, but I should thank you."
Having said this, a hint of gratitude suddenly appeared on Ariel's face, and she continued: "Currently, even though the royal capital is in chaos, you are still working tirelessly to guard the country for me, Leng Yan.
Even though he was tempted by high-ranking officials and generous salaries, he never wavered, and he is worthy of being the pillar of my country, Leng Yan!"
"Your Highness Princess, you are serious. It is my honor to fight for Leng Yan!"
Hearing this, Bai Lao's body trembled with excitement, sonorous and powerful.
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Bai sighed heavily and added: "It's all because of my negligence and carelessness in employing people that we ended up in today's situation, which almost overturned these three fortresses."
"General Bai, there is no need to belittle yourself."
At this time, Ariel shook her head helplessly and said: "According to Leng Yan's tradition, every general of the kingdom and the two lieutenants under his command are directly dispatched by the royal family, and their terms of office are limited. If the employment is careless,
If so, that is also the responsibility of the royal family."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Before this, he had never heard Ju Bai mention this matter.
Otherwise, Ju Bai's old subordinate Carol would not have been forced to separate from Ju Bai after he was named the general of the kingdom.
The advantage of doing this is that it can undoubtedly limit the power of each kingdom general to a considerable extent, so as not to threaten the supreme power of the royal family.
"By the way, General Bai, the reason why I came here is because..."
After that, Ariel described in detail to Mr. Bai a series of events that started with the group going to the Holy Night controlled area to rescue the residents of Cold Flame.
Of course, due to Lei Xiao's deliberate emphasis before, Ariel had never mentioned his identity as the Lord of Kongqing City or the lord of another world.
"I see, I didn't expect that guy Ogu to be from Shengye."
After listening to Ariel's words, Bai Lao gently stroked his slightly messy gray beard on his chin, nodded thoughtfully and said.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Lao's expression became serious again, and he continued: "About the Holy Night Army's invasion of the city before dawn tomorrow, it is an imminent and big problem."
"Old General Bai, concerning this point, my... helpers have already come up with countermeasures."
Having said this, Ariel looked at Lei Xiao and nodded.
"This is what I think. If there are any oversights, please correct me, General Bai."
After taking over Ariel's words, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then repeated what he had just said from three aspects: taking advantage of the situation, command issues, and improving morale.
"Your Excellency's ideas coincide with mine. This is indeed the most reasonable countermeasure at present."
Nodding in thought, Mr. Bai said thoughtfully: "However, the barbican city of this mountain fortress can only bring in an enemy of the size of a legion at most."
Having said this, Bai Lao, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, tried to stand up on his own.
While continuing: "Furthermore, with the cautious temperament of the opponent's coach, the Red Devils, it is not easy to get an advantage from the opponent. Therefore, regarding the most important point of taking advantage of the enemy, we must continue
Only after careful planning..."
However, as soon as Bai Lao's body straightened up, a look of pain suddenly appeared on his old face, and he sat back down with Bert's help.
"General Bai, your injury is very serious, please don't move."
On the other side, Ju Bai, who was concentrating on treatment, immediately spoke.
Finally, after a while.
The life force in Orange Bai's hand slowly dissipated, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"Ju Baiqing, how is General Bai's injury?"
Seeing this scene, Ariel immediately asked.
"Back to Your Highness Princess, the situation is not optimistic."
With a sigh, Ju Bai responded: "Old General Bai's injury is very serious. Many energy circuits in the body have been damaged. All I can do is to completely heal the superficial scars."
Speaking of this, Ju Bai stroked a strand of black hair soaked with sweat on his forehead and added: "As for the many damaged energy circuits, my subordinates have nourished them one by one. The rest can only be relied on by Old General Bai."
He recovered on his own.”
"So, doesn't it mean that General Bai is now unable to visit the battlefield in person and take command?"
Immediately afterwards, a look of worry suddenly appeared on Ariel's fair face, and she asked again.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao couldn't help but frowned slightly.
I just learned from Bai Lao that the opponent's coach is obviously a very difficult person to deal with.
Therefore, if Bai Lao, as the commander-in-chief of the fortress and the commander of the army, is unable to participate in this battle, and even cannot guard the fortress for a period of time.
It will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to our own subsequent layout.
"Back to Princess, it's true. The old General Bai is now extremely weak. Even standing for a long time will be a problem."
Shaking his head helplessly, Ju Bai responded.
Then, his orange-white starry eyes lit up, as if he remembered something, and he quickly said: "That's right! Maybe there is another way!"
