After the elite soldiers, who were full of fighting spirit, dispersed, Lei Xiao gathered all the main subordinates and commanders into the hall of the lord's mansion.
"Old General Bert, how's the list going?"
Nodding to the white-haired veteran standing respectfully at the bottom, Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne, asked first.
This is the important thing Lei Xiao was thinking about just now.
Only by clarifying the true identities of the First Prince's faction and the Second Prince's faction, and their respective mysterious commanders, can we better deal with the upcoming war.
"Back to Lord, it's finished."
Bert bowed and saluted, then walked forward and respectfully handed a roll of parchment in front of Lei Xiao.
After taking the parchment handed over by the other party, Lei Xiao unfolded the scroll, and two neat and powerful parts of the left and right parts of the common characters of the human race appeared in front of him.
This kind of writing is no stranger to Lei Xiao.
When Lei Xiao entered Kongqing Town for the first time and saw these words that looked like a combination of graphics and characters for the first time.
The meaning of each word and the combined meaning of the phrase, and even related slang, are very magical. They automatically emerge from Lei Xiao's mind, and he can even write them out skillfully.
By checking the chat channel in his spare time, Lei Xiao learned more.
Not only himself, but all other world lords are able to do this.
Only then did Lei Xiao learn that at the beginning of the time travel, the basic knowledge that crazily poured into his mind included this common human language.
Of course, that's all. For example, Lei Xiao was completely confused by the ancient elven writings he saw in the Bright Elf Dungeon next to Shen Banxia's territory.
On the slightly yellowed parchment, looking at the two rows of names, positions and levels of strength listed by Burt, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
I have heard many of the names above mentioned more or less by Ariel and others. Each of them has considerable military accomplishments, and most of them are high-ranking nobles who serve as military attachés in the Leng Yan Palace.
.
Whether it is the eldest prince's camp or the second prince's camp, the first few names are well-known in the Lengyan Kingdom.
It is the other four generals of the kingdom who are on par with the giant ax general Burt, the holy light general Ju Bai, the fortress general Bai Lao, and the magic general Wu.
"The eldest prince is under the command of the cavalry general Thain and the demon-hunting general Skar, while the second prince is under the command of the heavy artillery general Yulis and the sharp arrow general Yarvi..."
Nodding in thought, Lei Xiao continued to think.
"At the beginning, the generals of these four kingdoms had not shown any clues. As the battle between the three princes intensified, several figures appeared one after another on various battlefields inside and outside the royal capital."
"The latest intelligence shows that their loyalty to their respective masters has almost reached the point of fanaticism. They have continued their respective masters' reckless and cruel methods and have become loyal pawns."
"Perhaps this is what is called like, birds of a feather flock together. When the old king was in power, due to the king's majestic suppression, the true nature of these people has not yet been revealed, but now it is obvious."
Staring at the words on the parchment, Lei Xiao couldn't help but take a deep breath.
According to Bert and Jubai, who are both generals of the kingdom, it was mainly because of the exclusion of these four people that they were always on the fringes of the royal family. Even other subordinates in the legion also suffered unprovoked consequences.
Contempt or even beating.
But what is certain is that the military talents of these four people cannot be underestimated, and they are all from top noble families, and have a large staff team provided by their respective families.
Such luxurious configurations are obviously not comparable to those of Bert and Jubai, who were promoted solely by virtue of their military merit.
"Then again, the more trouble these people make, the more they will be able to demonstrate Ariel's kindness that I support. Following this, Ariel's reputation will naturally increase significantly, and the more I will be able to
Quickly control the entire Leng Yan."
"This huge kingdom established by the pioneer traveler Wang Xi six hundred years ago should be reshuffled in my hands."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly, and continued to say in his heart: "Let's get through this difficulty first. If in the end, I end up in the most arrogant position, I will receive the most vicious beating."
, that would be funny.”
Bringing his thoughts back to reality, Lei Xiao's dark eyes moved and focused on the name at the top of the eldest prince's faction, or rather the code name, "White Knight".
"I have carefully questioned Ariel, Bert and Jubai about this mysterious fifth-level expert in physics."
"I learned that this guy comes from a declining aristocratic family of Leng Yan. It is said that he is also a descendant of a certain aristocratic family in the Kingdom of Loren. Because of his extraordinary talent and superior strength, he was finally discovered by Ariel's father and was recruited.
Entered the royal family and became Leng Yan's second level 5 powerhouse."
"After being recruited, the White Knight kept a very low profile, so there was only a handful of detailed information about him, including his name. It was only known that during a certain war in the North, he had fought against a fifth-level powerhouse from another country.
Under the joint attack of several fourth-level powerhouses, he escaped completely and took away the heads of two of the fourth-level powerhouses."
Thinking of Ariel's awed expression when talking about this guy, Lei Xiao couldn't help but curl his lips.
From this, it is not difficult to see that the strength of this white knight is obviously very good, and besides the mysterious organization, he is currently one of his most powerful opponents.
"In addition, although the second prince's faction does not have fifth-level strong men, the number of fourth-level strong men under his command is almost as much as that of the first prince. This may be the reason why he has not been defeated by the first prince so far."
Lei Xiao's eyes continued to wander on the list, and he nodded thoughtfully.
"According to the intelligence constantly coming from the royal capital from various territories, although in the small-scale disputes inside and outside the royal capital, it is the eldest prince's faction that has the upper hand, which makes the second prince and the fourth prince often in a passive state. After all, the surrounding areas of the royal capital
The number of traditional nobles should be larger."
"But as the war situation continued to expand, the advantage of the eldest prince's faction became less and less obvious. In addition, the second prince and the fourth prince had a vague tendency to stick together for warmth. The frustrated eldest prince was unwilling to be outdone, which resulted in the current situation.
The war is getting more intense."
Putting down the parchment in his hand, Lei Xiao cast his solemn gaze again on the white-haired veteran at the bottom, and asked: "Old General Bert, do you think the commander most likely to be sent by the eldest prince and the second prince
Who is the official?"
"Back to the lord, judging from this comprehensive mobilization situation, the two princes obviously attach great importance to this battle, which means that both of them will definitely send their trusted generals."
After stroking his chest and saluting Lei Xiao, Burt gently stroked his short white beard and responded: "So my subordinates believe that the four kingdom generals and the white knight are the most likely."
"Is that true? No matter which one, they are not opponents that can be easily dealt with."
Gently stroking the parchment in his hand, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, his face becoming more solemn.
During the offensive and defensive battle of the mountain fortress, facing the famous Holy Night general Red Devil who was as famous as the eight generals of Lengyan, the opponent successively used many trump cards such as Ogu, the disappeared legion, and the griffon squadron, and the formation of troops was also extremely good.
Rules and regulations.
And now what he faces will be at least two opponents of the same level. This shows that this does not include the mysterious organization hiding in the dark.
"Well, I also have Bert and Jubai under my command, plus I have prepared many trump cards, at least on the surface, I may not be at a disadvantage."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
Bert's old voice rang out again: "Lord, among these people, the one you need to watch out for the most is the White Knight."
After a pause, Bert added solemnly: "This guy's marching and formation ability is no less than that of any general of the kingdom. Although he rarely appears in public, judging from several battles in the past few years, once
If a powerful enemy attempts to get his hands on Leng Yan, as long as he leads his army into battle, he will definitely give the enemy a fatal blow."
After speaking, Bert swallowed involuntarily.
A few years ago, he briefly fought alongside the White Knight.
This fifth-level strong man wearing pure white knight's light armor and pure white closed battle helmet easily dispersed an enemy legion by himself, but the scene is still fresh in his memory to this day.
"Are you the type who is ruthless and doesn't talk much? It's kind of interesting."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Huzhang and Hongye who were standing in the front row. With these two fifth-level powerhouses by his side, he would naturally not take the identity of the other fifth-level powerhouse too seriously.
inside.
Following Lei Xiao's gaze, when Bert also saw the burly Japanese knotweed and the slender orange-white figure, a look of excitement suddenly appeared on the old face.
The lord has two fifth-level powerhouses under his command, so there is no need to be afraid of each other!
Sensing Bert's emotional change, other subordinates also showed excited expressions.
Noticing the gradually rising morale in the hall, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and moved on to the next topic.
Next, Lei Xiao first decided to build the dam, which has been fully completed.
Then, he confirmed the current situation with the subordinates in each territory and learned that each city had made all preparations before the war, including possible march routes and city defense matters.
Even the brigade of undead beasts summoned by Lina were all in place and hidden in a hidden cave not far from the territory.
As for the Snow Wolf Clan three kilometers east of the territory, they have temporarily taken refuge in the territory according to the plan, including five squadrons of fully armed second-level werewolf warriors, as well as four third-level powerhouses including the clan leader Shi Feng.
"Very good, everything seems to be ready."
After confirming all matters, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said to the subordinates: "Everyone, as I just said, although the opponent is powerful, we are not a group of frost sheep waiting to be slaughtered, so let us
Take a good look at what these high-ranking guys are capable of."
"I obey! Lord, my subordinates are willing to go through fire and water for the Lord!"
A uniform voice sounded, and all the subordinates at the bottom knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads deeply to Lei Xiao.
After that, Lei Xiao did not sit back and wait for death in the territory. Instead, he took most of the main force and subordinates to Kongqing Town first.
At present, the territory has not been discovered by the opponent, and Kongqing Town is the opponent's primary target. Naturally, we have to defend it with all our strength to make the opponent realize that Kongqing Town is a tough piece of iron and steel.
Only in this way can we contain as many enemy troops as possible when the territory is discovered, thereby reducing the pressure on the territory.
After all, from an overall perspective, Kongqing Town and the territory are at odds with each other.
If the enemy is preparing to launch a full-scale attack on the territory, he will inevitably allocate a considerable portion of his troops to defend the uncaptured Kongqing Town to prevent us from sending troops from Kongqing Town to attack the opponent's rear.
Arriving at Kongqing Town, where the city gates were already closed and the towering walls were filled with soldiers, Lei Xiao, who joined Lin, Fang Hai, and Guanzhong, made the final preparations before starting the defense.
Since Kongqing Town itself has almost zero professional healing powerhouses, there are only two first-level Holy Light Priest teams.
Therefore, a few days ago, Lei Xiao had consciously hired a group of healing mercenaries from the surrounding area at a sky-high price, and promised to only provide treatment and not participate in the battle.
Among them, there was a positive response from Master Bubo, who ranked first in the healing department of Kongqing Town and whose strength was at the second level of nine stars.
In particular, Master Xinshi, who is third in the healing department in Kongqing Town and is an "ally", is the first to bear the brunt. With his good prestige, he has recruited many mercenaries in the healing department.
After receiving the third-level staff from Lei Xiao, this guy had already followed Lei Xiao's lead.
In the end, after Lei Xiao's operation, Kongqing Town's healing power expanded to the size of a squadron, including two third-level powerhouses, plus 3,000 first-level healing magic pills prepared by Lei Xiao.
Medicine is enough to allow the wounded soldiers to receive better treatment.
The more than a thousand mercenaries in the city had already become grateful to Lei Xiao because of his reward mechanism and a series of city construction measures.
According to Guanzhong, whether it is the construction of city defense or the stability of the city, most of these mercenaries are locally born and have made considerable contributions, so they are all included in the city defense team.
Reserve force.
"A garrison of 6,000 people, 5 second-level guard squadrons, 3 second-level squadrons directly under my command, 2 second-level princess guards, and a trade fair guard squadron, plus more than 1,000 mercenaries, this
It’s already close to the strength of a legion.”
Under the bright sunshine, standing on the towering city wall of Kongqing Town covered with expensive anti-magic coating, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and murmured to himself: "The eldest prince's forward army is coming soon, right? Just let me
Take a good look and see if you have the ability to capture this corner of Kongqing Town."
Just as Lei Xiao thought of this in his mind, dust was rising on the distant horizon outside the city, and a menacing army was already rolling in with arrogant murderous intent.
