Chapter 487: Deployment Completed and an Interlude
"The fourth step regarding taking advantage of the situation is the opponent's camp."
Lei Xiao smiled slightly, holding the baton, and continued: "And this is the most critical step to completely destroy the morale of the Holy Night Army."
"oh?"
Blinking her starry eyes in confusion, Ariel asked doubtfully: "How do you say this?"
"According to Ogu's intelligence, we can know that this time, almost the entire Holy Night Army came out in full force."
I saw the baton in Lei Xiao's hand moving, surrounding the enemy's base camp on the sand table, and then said: "This means that the enemy's base camp must be very empty."
"I understand, do you mean to copy the other party's hometown directly?"
Hearing this, Ariel's fair face suddenly showed a look of enlightenment, and she suddenly realized: "In this way, if the Holy Night Army cannot look at each other, it will indeed greatly damage the opponent's morale!"
"That's not all. The real purpose of Your Excellency Keqing is to completely destroy the food, grass and baggage of the Holy Night Army, right?"
Directly opposite, Mr. Bai gently stroked his gray beard and spoke.
"Exactly like this, only by setting fire to the Holy Night Army's food, grass and baggage can the enemy be completely frightened."
Nodding to Mr. Bai, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and said, "In this case, even if the remaining Holy Night Army retreats smoothly, I'm afraid it will soon fall apart, so we should just withdraw."
"Your Excellency is right. The food and grass consumed by 80,000 soldiers every day is undoubtedly an extremely huge number. As long as we can burn all the enemy's granaries, the other party will be unable to fight anymore!"
Hearing this, a middle-aged commander on the side suddenly became excited and said: "By then, at least in a short period of time, the other party will not have the strength to make a comeback!"
"That's true, but having said that, even if the Holy Night Army comes out in full force, there will still be a considerable number of elite forces left to guard the granary."
Nodding slightly, a look of excitement also appeared on the old white face, and he said to Lei Xiao: "According to the previous strength of the fortress, facing the large number of enemy troops approaching the city, we are naturally unable to attack, but with your Excellency's
Come to our rescue and all this will no longer be a problem!”
After finishing speaking, Mr. Bai stroked his beard again and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, that old red devil would never have thought that the strength of our Lengyan Army has long been different from what it used to be!"
"When the opponent's camp and granary are burned down, and the forward attack is blocked, the opponent's morale will be hit hard. The opponent's fighting spirit will soon be exhausted."
With the same smile, Lei Xiao played with the baton in his hand and continued: "At that time, as long as the enemy begins to retreat hastily, the soldiers of our three fortresses will all come out to cover up the enemy, and I think they will be able to win in one battle.
"
Having said this, Lei Xiao's eyes fell on the burly old general opposite him again, and he said: "Old General Bai, what do you think of this humble opinion?"
After pondering for a moment, Mr. Bai first looked at each other with the other two commanders of the Cold Flame Army. After seeing recognition in each other's eyes, he said: "We have no objection to Your Excellency Ke Qing's plan.
It is indeed the most stable and effective tactic currently.”
"Great, it seems we are already in sight of victory!"
Hearing this, Ariel's delicate face suddenly showed a hint of joy, and she couldn't help but get a little excited.
"Your Highness, please be patient. This is just our preliminary plan. The battlefield is turbulent, the results are fleeting, and there are countless variables."
Bowing slightly to Ariel, Bai Lao smiled and said: "Coupled with the Red Devil's cautious temperament, if we want to fully implement the plan, we need to carefully consider every link."
"General Bai is right, especially regarding the possible reactions of the other party and our corresponding countermeasures and inducement measures. If we make a mistake, it is very likely that we will fall from active to passive."
Pouring his lips slightly, Lei Xiao nodded in approval: "And since we have hidden power, we cannot rule out that the other party may also be hiding some kind of trump card."
"So, everything before tomorrow morning is still unknown?"
Hearing the sound, the excited expression on Ariel's cheeks immediately disappeared, and she couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Don't worry, my dear Fifth Princess, just do your job well and leave the rest to us."
With a faint smile, Lei Xiao pointed his baton at the opponent's forward military camp next to the mountains, and continued to discuss with Bai Lao: "Of course, regarding this place, we must destroy it in one fell swoop, and we cannot leave any escape route for the opponent..."
In this way, when Lei Xiao, Bai Lao and other commanders finally decided on how to use the two fifth-level ace cards including Huzhang and Hongye, as well as many other possible accidents and countermeasures.
Lei Xiao, who walked out of the meeting hall again and came to a balcony in the castle, noticed.
At this time, in the distant sky, the big sun has completely set, leaving only the small sun, still emitting the last ray of orange-red sunset light.
Looking down at the lush castle courtyard ahead, everything dyed red by the setting sun, Lei Xiao stretched and took a deep breath.
At this point, everything is ready, and naturally we are waiting for the Holy Night Army to come to our door.
"...You are from another world, I have a question to ask you."
On the other side, Ariel walked alone in front of Lei Xiao, hesitated for a moment, and spoke to Lei Xiao in a low voice.
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao turned around and responded to Ariel.
At this moment, under the last ray of sunset, Ariel's fair and delicate face and slender body were all covered with a layer of pale golden halo, making people look like they couldn't help but feel a twinge of joy.
A feeling of holiness.
"that……"
After squirming for a while, Ariel's long eyelashes flickered, she took a deep breath, and then said, "Why do you want to help me like this?"
At this time, Ariel's expression became a little more anxious, and she continued: "After all, it is absolutely necessary for you to get involved in the war between me, Leng Yan, and Sheng Ye."
"Princess, what you said is wrong."
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao said bluntly: "Helping you is actually helping myself, so you don't have to have any psychological burden."
"What do you mean by this?"
Hearing this, Ariel blinked her starry eyes in confusion and asked quickly.
"What this world is about to face is far beyond your imagination."
Without answering Ariel's question directly, Lei Xiao said to himself: "Everything I did was to solve, or to try to solve, what was about to happen."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao's expression became a little more solemn, and then he said: "This may be the real reason why we, lords from other worlds, came here."
Needless to say, what Lei Xiao is referring to is the unknown catastrophe that may come at any time.
The most important thing is that, according to Wang Xi, the catastrophe is just a prelude.
As for what incredible things will happen next, Lei Xiao naturally has no way of knowing at this stage.
However, then again, even the content of the catastrophe itself is currently unknown to our side.
From this, there is only a little left that we can do.
That is to develop regardless of all costs and continue to accumulate strength in order to cope with the terrible disaster that will sweep the entire world as mentioned many times in the prophecies.
Guhuan
"What exactly are you trying to say? What are these worlds about to face?"
Hearing this, the doubts and confusion on Ariel's face became more and more obvious. While holding on to her clothes tightly, she asked two questions in succession.
"When the time is right, I will naturally tell you everything I know."
Indicating to Ariel that there was no need to be nervous, Lei Xiao still maintained a smile and said: "By the way, don't you still want to know what your ancestors of the Hero King said to me in the place where their ancestors slept in Luolong City?
"
Raising his eyebrows at Ariel, Lei Xiao continued leisurely: "At that time, maybe I will also describe it to you."
"Are you serious?"
Ariel's starry eyes lit up and she asked again.
"Of course you can't go wrong."
Undeniably nodded, Lei Xiao looked directly into Ariel's starry eyes and said calmly: "Therefore, at this stage, let's focus all our attention on the offensive and defensive battle of the fortress in front of us."
"Then I will listen to you just once!"
On the other side, Ariel nodded her head heavily, and then said: "When the time comes, you are not allowed to regret it!"
"Then it all depends on your performance, dear fifth princess."
Having said this, seeing that the sky had completely darkened, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and then left the castle balcony on his own.
Next, since Mr. Bai had already taken Bert and Jubai non-stop, they were getting familiar with the situation in the fortress in order to take over the next command work.
Therefore, Lei Xiao, Ariel, Huzhang and Hongye, who had nothing to do for the time being, rested in a luxurious reception room.
Before that, Mr. Bai was originally planning to order the servants in the castle to cook a big meal.
After all, neither Lei Xiao, who is aloof and mysterious, nor Ariel, who is a member of the royal family, can be ignored at will.
But the war was imminent, and every manpower in the fortress was very important, so they were rejected by both Lei Xiao and Ariel.
Having said that, every morning, Rudy would specially prepare meals for Lei Xiao and his main heroes, and put them in their respective storage spaces for later use.
Therefore, the other strong men on our side who are watching outside naturally don't have to worry.
As for Bai Lao, Bert, Ju Bai and others, they ate directly in the military camp below with other soldiers.
In the reception room, when Lei Xiao and the three of them took out star-quality lunch boxes that were exquisitely plated and still very fresh from their respective space bracelets or storage rings, they opened them.
He immediately caught the eye of Ariel who was taking out a large piece of cream cake at the side.
At the same time, a dreamy sauce smell that made people's mouths tingle filled the room.
Among them, there are not only fresh vegetable salads, sandwiches and egg rolls, but also a variety of exquisite pastries, which look like works of art.
In comparison, the cream cake in front of Ariel immediately became much duller.
At this moment, looking at Ariel's fair face, there was a vague look of longing but pretending not to see it, Lei Xiao curled his lips slightly, took out a spare meal from the space bracelet, and put it on
Arrived aside.
Grasping the stomach of this proud Princess Lengyan is naturally an indispensable part of the process of conquering her.
"You...what do you mean?"
Seeing this, Ariel finally couldn't help it anymore and tentatively spoke.
"It's nothing, I just got an extra serving."
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao said lightly: "Why, does your dear fifth princess want to eat it?"
"I don't want to eat it."
Elegantly cutting a piece of cake with a knife and fork, Ariel was duplicitous.
"I see, then I'll save it for midnight snack."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao didn't say anything else, and just prepared to put the extra meals back into the space bracelet.
"Wait a moment!"
I saw Ariel waving her hands quickly, then raising her neck, pretending to be reserved and saying: "Since you sincerely want to dedicate it to this princess..."
"My dear Fifth Princess, you are overthinking. I don't think so."
On the other side, Lei Xiao sped up the movements in his hands.
"Wait a minute! Can't I give you the cake in exchange?"
This time, the eagerness on Ariel's face became a little more intense and she said, "Is it okay?"
The dishes in front of her undoubtedly gave her the taste of a royal chef that she had not seen for a long time, and it was even better.
"Wouldn't it be over this long ago?"
Looking at the arrogant princess beside him with starry eyes full of desire, Lei Xiao retracted his hand movements, raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Come and get it yourself. As for the cake, please keep it for yourself, I'm afraid."
Grow meat.”
"You hateful guy..."
Hearing the sound, Ariel wanted to refute with some itchy teeth, but after all, cannibalism has a short mouth, so she did not say anything else, but started to eat gracefully on her own.
After a few people had eaten and drank enough, it didn't take long before Bai Lao and the other three kingdom generals reappeared in front of Lei Xiao and others.
"Your Highness Princess Qi, the general ordering platform has been set up, and all the soldiers in the fortress have been assembled."
There was a crisp sound of armor clashing. Bowing slightly to Ariel, Mr. Bai took a step forward and said, "It's time for Her Royal Highness the Princess to come out and encourage the soldiers."
"No problem, I've already made preparations."
On the other side, Ariel nodded heavily and immediately responded: "Let's go now."
In this way, under the guidance of Bai Lao, following Ariel's footsteps, and surrounded by Huzhuang and Hongye, Lei Xiao soon arrived at a large school ground in the center of the fortress.
At this time, facing the deep and bright moonlight, Lei Xiao noticed.
The huge school grounds were already filled with soldiers in red-striped armor standing in neat rows. At a glance, they were so densely packed that it was almost impossible to see the end.
On the other side, Ariel, surrounded by three kingdom generals, walked straight up to the towering generals' platform at the front.
