Chapter 671 After the fierce battle at the foot of the mountain
After leaving Ye Cang to pay close attention to the movements of the White Knight and others, Lei Xiao took the other main subordinates and returned directly to the territory.
After having a sumptuous dinner with all the subordinates, Lei Xiao immediately held an impromptu meeting and informed all the subordinates in the remaining territory and various places about today's battle viewing situation.
During this process, Lei Xiao focused on introducing the several reversals of both sides on the battlefield, as well as the trump cards each used.
Including the initial assault of the Magic Knight, which was blocked by a sudden wall of wind, allowing the Second Prince to gain the initial advantage.
After that, the White Knight used swamp magic and the illusion cast on the Assault Knight and the Heavy Knight, causing the Second Prince's Cavalry to come to the door and reverse the situation for the first time.
When the Nightmare Knight summoned the undead army, the whole battlefield was filled with death, and the battle situation was reversed for the second time.
Then the White Knight used illusion and group invisibility to attack the second prince's unsuspecting rear army, turning the tide of the battle for the third time.
Until the Nightmare Knight appeared, launched a peak showdown with the White Knight, and took the opportunity to release the powerful Titan Necromancer, turning the tide of the battle for the fourth time.
In the end, the White Knight single-handedly severely damaged the Nightmare Knight, took the opportunity to crush the Titan Necromancer, and then led the revitalized cavalry to turn the tide of the battle for the fifth time.
And then, with the powerful assistance of the master of illusion, Jin Wen, he was able to repel the Nightmare Knights and win the final tragic victory.
"On today's turbulent battlefield, the whole process was like this."
After describing everything, Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne in the hall of the mansion, took a sip of the black tea respectfully handed over by Xingcai, the third-level maid beside him, and concluded.
For a moment, both the commanders of the elite squadrons at the bottom of the hall and the leaders and subordinates from various places on the other side of the hall couldn't help but take a deep breath and did not speak for a while.
Although the lord spoke in an understatement, whether it was the mysterious nightmare knight who suddenly appeared, the illusion master Jin Wen who was famous throughout the Cold Flame Kingdom, or the mysterious fourth-level magician who cast a large wind wall at extremely high speed, it was obvious that he was there.
An unexpected and tyrannical presence.
"It's surprising enough that the white knight, who is known for his integrity, can join the eldest prince's camp. Unexpectedly, even Jinwen, the bohemian palace illusion master, is standing by the eldest prince's side."
A calm and slightly surprised middle-aged male voice rang out. The voice of Fanyin City Lord Orr was first heard through words: "This great prince, who is famous for his bravery, is indeed quite political."
Al, who used to be a court magician, obviously knew Leng Yan's court better than the ordinary local city lord.
"City Lord Orr is right."
The extremely elegant bass of Rose Marquis then sounded, and he echoed: "The eldest prince must have promised certain benefits and promises that the two of them could not refuse, and this was how they got the other party to defect to him."
"After all, at this juncture of Lengyan's internal and external troubles, the dignitaries in the capital of the Wind and Clouds all hope to hug a big tree, and this is exactly what the eldest prince wants."
As he spoke, the elegant voice of Rose Marquis clearly revealed an uncontrollable disgust, and added: "In the final analysis, the eldest prince is just issuing some unrealistic empty words, and for those who reject him
People are even more merciless in their attacks, even at the risk of hurting innocent people."
After hearing what Rose Marquis said, Lei Xiao put down the tea cup in his hand and smiled helplessly.
It seems that the Marquis of Rose is still very upset about the fact that a certain prince's envoy secretly placed the devouring slime deep in the Blue Cold Castle wine cellar, almost blowing up the entire wine cellar and the city lord's palace.
"Having said that, judging from the current situation, the second prince, who has always been overpowered by the eldest prince, is more terrifying."
The deep voice of Randall, the leader of the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group, came out from Lei Xiao's words: "Before this, there were no rumors that the Second Prince had a fifth-level strong man under his command. This undoubtedly shows that
Well, compared to the high-profile first prince, the second prince who is good at hiding himself is more difficult to deal with."
After a pause, Randall's somewhat embarrassed voice sounded again: "Lord, in the past few days since I came out of the endless passage, I have made up some information from recent years to the latest. If there is any improper consideration,
Please don’t blame me, Lord, if you tell lies.”
"Randall, there is no need to be polite between you and me, just say whatever you want."
Lei Xiao raised the steaming tea cup again, feeling the warmth coming from it, and said with a faint smile: "Furthermore, your analysis is also very correct. Regarding this second prince who has never been very conspicuous before, we really need us.
Be careful."
"Since the second prince can rest assured that all the new noble forces in the eastern region will be handed over to the Nightmare Knight, it is enough to show that the relationship between the two is unusual. It is impossible to find them casually or to be a newly joined strong man.
By."
Lei Xiao first looked up and drank the hot tea in the cup, and then continued: "Originally, according to the information obtained before, the eldest prince has gained a considerable advantage in the royal capital, so that the second prince and the fourth prince have a vague understanding of each other.
Warming situation."
"But now, when the Nightmare Knight under the second prince appears, this undoubtedly proves that there is indeed a force behind it that has been secretly at work. Of course, the same goes for the eldest prince and the fourth prince."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao described to his subordinates one by one the conjectures he had just summarized on the battlefield about the forces behind the three princes and the mysterious organization.
"The Lord's analysis is very reasonable."
The steady voice of Gale, the president of the Fanyin City Merchant Trade Fair, was immediately read out and reached the ears of Lei Xiao and all the subordinates participating in the meeting: "Leng Yan Kingdom, as one of the great human nations, is among the human nations.
Influence is very important, and in this situation of power disputes, the possibility of other large forces intervening is indeed a certainty."
"It is not difficult to imagine that once the supported prince successfully ascends to the throne, the forces behind it will undoubtedly gain immeasurable benefits. On the contrary, these forces will obviously not expose themselves easily. Once other princes ascend to the throne, what awaits them,
It will undoubtedly be the endless anger of the entire Cold Flame Kingdom."
"And I believe that, just as the lord said, there is no doubt that a certain prince has secretly joined the mysterious organization."
"As for the forces behind the other two princes, it is very likely that they include the Shanglu family, the three cold flame noble families, whose strength is second only to the royal family and far greater than the ordinary top noble families. Even his royal family and
Other large forces with ulterior motives."
At this point, Gale's tone became more solemn and he continued: "Although these forces will not support them too openly, each of them is an opponent that is not easy to deal with."
"What President Gale said is absolutely true. On the other hand, the forces that can be favored by my three royal brothers and cooperate with each other are indeed unlikely to be ordinary people."
Ariel, who was in the lower position of Lei Xiao, nodded thoughtfully, frowning and said: "Furthermore, in addition to my Lengyan royal family, together they hold three major military forces that are close to half of the total strength of Lengyan.
The aristocratic family has remained silent so far, which is obviously something strange."
"I have also thought about this question. Leng Yan's three noble families are indeed an opponent that cannot be underestimated."
Lei Xiao put down the tea cup in his hand, nodded and said: "Fortunately, there is no aristocratic family in the vast eastern area of Lengyan where the territory is now. At least when our wings are not yet full, there is no need to conflict with them."
"Furthermore, due to the natural barrier between the Baibu Mountains and the Songyin Mountains, once we take control of this fertile area, the only places we need to be careful about are the mountain fortress on the border battlefield and the Wangxing City on the Wangxing Corridor.
This strategic location is very convenient for the gathering and mobilization of troops."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and said this, then changed the subject again: "Of course, we have to get through this fatal crisis first, so that we can be reborn from the blood and truly achieve the strength to compete with the other three princes.
At that time, we were already very close to the unification of cold flames."
Hearing what Lei Xiao said, the subordinates at the bottom had a look of excitement on their solemn faces.
"Lord, please rest assured, no matter what methods those princes who don't care about the life and death of others use, and what forces are behind it, as long as the lord gives the order, the subordinates will do their best to kill everyone for the lord.
!”
Accompanied by a series of weird laughter, the voice of the Lord of Luolong City, Benson, sounded with high fighting spirit: "The hammer in my subordinate's hand is always ready to smash the heads of all enemies for the lord!
"
"Very good, worthy of being a skull-crushing madman."
Lei Xiao smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "Okay, let's start analyzing the current battlefield situation."
"At this stage, in addition to the remaining half of the cavalry regiment, the white knights who command the traditional aristocratic forces of the great prince also have three infantry regiments and an infantry regiment at the rear, with a strength of less than 50,000 people."
"As for the main fourth-level powerhouses, Birdwin and Vince have become our prisoners. Therefore, together with the newly emerged illusion master Jin Wen, there are three fourth-level powerhouses on the other side."
Taking the newly added hot tea from Xingcai, Lei Xiao took a sip first and continued: "The Nightmare Knight, who commands the second prince's new noble force, also controls three infantry legions and a rear infantry legion.
, a total of less than 50,000 people.”
"As for the fourth-level strong men, there are no losses for the time being. Including the mysterious wind magician, there are five in total. Of course, if Eriton, who commanded the vanguard army, was not captured or killed by the white knight,
."
After speaking, Lei Xiao's eyes swept over the subordinates at the bottom one by one, and said: "According to the intelligence, at least at sunrise tomorrow, nearly 100,000 troops will be concentrated in Kongqing Town.
Surrounding area.”
"Although we have successfully brought the Nightmare Knight who was preparing to watch the fire from the other side into the battle in advance, and indirectly defeated the White Knight's attempt to cause a battle between us and the Nightmare Knight, the situation is still not optimistic. After all, we don't know what the opponent has in hand.
What kind of trump cards do you still have?"
Withdrawing his gaze, Lei Xiao focused his gaze on the surface of the tea with a trace of ripples, and said slowly: "Perhaps starting from tomorrow, what the territory will usher in will no longer be looming waves, but looming waves.
Is it an earth-shaking majestic wave?"
"Lord, please rest assured, my subordinates are willing to go through fire and water for your lord, and defend the territory to the death!"
The uniform and solemn voices of the subordinates suddenly resounded throughout the entire hall of the mansion.
"Very good, I will fight with you until the end of my life."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and said again: "At present, not to mention the Nightmare Knight and the White Knight, in addition, there is an extremely difficult problem before us, and that is the illusionist Jin Wen.
"
"What the Lord Lord said is absolutely true. On the battlefield during the day, the reason why the White Knight was able to come back several times and achieve the final victory was indispensable to the Jin Wen."
Ariel blinked her long eyelashes and echoed: "Even my subordinates have not seen this royal master of illusion a few times, and every time they see him, except for the iconic costume of the chief palace illusionist,
Their appearance is also not the same."
"For this question, I even went to ask my father, asking Jin Wen to show his true face, but my father said that as long as his heart is focused on Leng Yan, it doesn't matter how his face changes, and then the big
Laugh away..."
After speaking, Ariel shook her head helplessly.
"But Lord, just like the white knight, Jin Wen's reputation and character are impeccable. He has helped many poor people, and even the salary given by the royal family has been donated."
After a pause, Ariel frowned and added: "Furthermore, illusionists are extremely rare. There is probably only one Jin Wen who is the fourth-level cold flame. Although sister Xiaoya is strong, as the territory expands,
There will only be more and more places that need talents, so if we can find a way to bring Jin Wen under our command, it will only be beneficial to us."
"Actually, that's what I think too. What the eldest prince can give, I...or you, the future Queen of Cold Flames, can also give."
When Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne, said this, he shook his head helplessly and said: "Judging from his hard work today, it is obviously unrealistic to conquer the opponent in a short period of time."
"Your Lordship is right."
Ariel frowned and thought for a moment, then stroked her chest and bowed: "But if we can persuade him not to participate in the attack on the territory, it will be a small victory for us."
"It makes some sense."
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and agreed: "This is not a bad start."
"Lord, regarding this matter, it is better to leave it to your subordinates to complete."
I saw Xiaoya taking a step forward, her little face full of serious expressions.
