"Lord Kong Qing, you are always able to bring unexpected tricks to me."
The voice of the man in black robe No. 3 began to grow deeper and deeper, and he looked coldly at Lei Xiao, who had an indifferent expression.
He was originally going to humiliate Lei Xiao as a winner, but he didn't expect that he would become the final clown.
In the central square filled with smoke, the billowing smoke accompanying the explosion gradually dissipated.
The two brigades of second-level elite noble soldiers who rushed at the front were almost completely wiped out. They were either blown to pieces or shot into hedgehogs, causing a mess everywhere, with constant curses and screams.
The other noble soldiers who followed quickly formed a battle formation and began to raise their shields and fight back.
However, under the rain of arrows shot from all directions, there were still well-trained noble soldiers wailing and falling to the ground after being hit by arrows, looking extremely embarrassed.
At this point, it was clear that the two surrounding legions of new recruits under Lei Xiao had the absolute upper hand in the entire scene.
"But so what? As long as I kill you, everything will be settled."
The man in black robe No. 3 was filled with murderous intent, staring at Lei Xiao's face, trying to find a trace of fear on the latter's face, in order to laugh at the latter's cowardice.
Lei Xiao, on the other hand, remained calm and did not let the other party find any flaws.
Facing the man in black robe No. 3 who was approaching Chi Chi, even though Lei Xiao was already in a state of confusion, he clearly understood.
Only by making the other party feel just the right amount of frustration can you prolong the time as much as possible to seek for variables, thereby gaining a glimmer of hope.
As for what the variables are, Lei Xiao is not completely without ideas.
Our four fifth-level experts are all engaged in a fierce battle. As long as one of them ends the battle early and turns to deal with the man in black robe No. 3, he will naturally be able to get out of trouble.
In addition, including himself, there are four fourth-level powerhouses beside him, Ariel, Bai Wei, and Chaoyan.
But unless he really had to, he would not choose to confront the man in black robe No. 3 who was so close to Chi Chi.
After all, just a fifth-level one-star expert is enough to compete with 10 ordinary fourth-level experts.
As a fifth-level eight-star man in black robe No. 3, his strength is far better than that of ordinary fifth-level strong men, and he is enough to compete with 17 fourth-level strong men. This shows that the opponent can instantly kill anyone on our side with just a few moves.
"In short, the only thing I can do at this stage is to hold off the man in black robe No. 3 as much as possible. This is the only way to break the situation."
Lei Xiao kept a calm expression and said nonchalantly to the man in black robe No. 3: "Don't you want to humiliate me? Why did you lose your composure so quickly? The so-called third Shura is nothing more than that.
"
"City Lord Kongqing, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking."
The man in black robe No. 3 immediately discovered Lei Xiao's plan, but his tone still showed a hint of anger, and he said solemnly: "I might as well tell you that the variables you are seeking will never appear. Everything is under my control."
It’s under control.”
"For example, these two red-blooded sandworms were carefully cultivated and transformed by the organization using special means. They have almost no weaknesses. Not to mention the half-elf magister, even I cannot easily destroy them unless …”
"Unless it's something, you don't need to know."
The man in black robe No. 3 glanced at Lei Xiao with disdain, sneered and said: "As for the black duke, he is definitely not a match for the strong men under your command, and No. 10... you might as well see for yourself."
After hearing the words of the man in black robe No. 3, Lei Xiao looked at the battle situation where Teresa was.
Only then did we realize that the body of the man in black robe No. 10 was already riddled with holes, all of which were obviously caused by Teresa's attack.
Being able to inflict such heavy losses on an opponent of similar strength in such a short period of time undoubtedly shows that Teresa, the Saint of the Moon Temple, has used many hidden cards to break the situation.
However, what is strange is that although the man in black robe No. 10 looks extremely embarrassed, he becomes more courageous as he fights, which actually puts Teresa at a disadvantage.
Finally, Lei Xiao's eyes fell on the riddled body of man in black robe No. 10, and he was surprised to find out.
The opponent's exposed arm not only had no trace of blood, but instead shone with a strange bronze metallic luster, which was extremely eye-catching under the cold moon.
"No wonder the opponent was hit by Theresa's shadow arrow, but still not affected at all. It turns out there is such a mystery."
Seeing this strange scene, Lei Xiao frowned tightly.
"Metal body strengthening technique?"
When Ariel saw this, her lips slightly opened, and she couldn't help but blurt out: "But the other party is obviously a strong person in the physics department."
"Your Majesty the ignorant princess, unfortunately, that is not a metal strengthening spell."
The man in black robe No. 3 looked at Ariel's surprised look, obviously very satisfied, and said with a joking smile: "That is a specially modified puppet, which can be immune to the attacks of any fifth-level strong man, even the Saint of the Moon Temple." No matter how many tricks you use, you can't do anything to No. 10."
"Puppet Man?"
After hearing this unfamiliar term, Lei Xiao began to search for related content in his mind.
I remember Erza once said that she once saw the remains of a puppet in an abandoned ancient ruins.
It was a skeleton with almost no bones, only a hard shell covered with floating ash and cobwebs, just like a turtle shell.
According to Erza's understanding, the puppet man is a long-lost ancient magical technology that can transform the body into a carefully polished body, thus greatly increasing its own defense capabilities.
Although there are many restrictions, what is certain is that once the transformation is successful, the puppet can gain great advantages in battle.
"I didn't expect that the Black Abyss Brotherhood still masters this lost and mysterious technology. Coupled with the modified red-blooded sandworms, this mysterious organization has begun to become more and more unfathomable."
With shock in his heart, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath, frowned at the man in black robe No. 3 and said, "Who are you from?"
"Haha, you don't need to know this."
Seeing the shock shown by Lei Xiao, the smile hidden behind the mask of the man in black No. 3 became even bigger: "You just need to know that the variable you are seeking does not exist from the beginning!"
"In other words, no matter how much you delay, you can't change the fate of destruction."
After finishing speaking, the man in black robe No. 3 looked leisurely at the battle situation in the central square.
At this time, although the legions that poured in from the underground suffered heavy losses, they were all experienced veterans after all. They had completely stabilized their position and began to counterattack frantically.
On the contrary, the new recruits, who had an absolute advantage at the beginning, began to loosen their formation and gradually found themselves at a disadvantage.
If this situation continues, it will obviously not be difficult to break through the siege of new recruits.
Seeing that there was no need for him to take action at all, the situation was back under control. The tone of the man in black robe No. 3 gradually became proud, and he said solemnly: "How is it? Lord Kongqing, no matter how much you struggle, it is in vain. Now you feel despair."
?"
"Stop talking so shamelessly here!"
Before Lei Xiao could speak, Ariel frowned, stepped forward and said solemnly: "The flames of resistance have spread across this land, and the fallen nobles are already sitting on pins and needles. As long as our faith remains, despair will be over."
It'll never come!"
"Your belief? It's nothing more than stupid self-comfort. If a fly shakes a tree, it will only be destroyed in the end."
The man in black robe No. 3 glanced at Ariel and said disdainfully: "Even the cold flame monarchs of the past dynasties can't change things. Do you expect to rely on a humble outsider to change things? It's simply laughable!
"
"Furthermore, your innocent princess, I am about to cut your guest into pieces."
The man in black robe No. 3 sneered and said grimly: "After this, no one here will be spared!"
"You guy..."
Ariel bit her red lips tightly, her fair face full of unwillingness.
This Princess Leng Yan was not unwilling for herself, but for Lei Xiao.
Ariel clearly understands that if the lord really makes a mistake.
Not only the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who were fighting bloody battles in Wangxing City, but also all of their subordinate colleagues were bound to die.
Moreover, even the entire eastern region that has just seen the dawn will fall into endless darkness again.
So no matter what, even if I die, I can't let the Lord be poisoned!
Thinking of this, Ariel just wanted to protect Lei Xiao, but was stopped by the latter with a wave of his hand.
Lei Xiao naturally would not hide behind his woman.
Moreover, if the other party really intends to take action, this is meaningless.
"The variables I am pursuing are not limited to our four fifth-level powerhouses."
While Lei Xiao was thinking this, he looked at the turbid boy's eyes of the man in black robe No. 3, which was full of murderous intent, but his face was still calm.
In fact, I have heard some rumors recently, and there was even a divination by Shen Banxia's subordinate to prove it. Perhaps this can also be an important part of the variables.
But if you want to really draw out this unknown variable, you need to add another fire yourself.
"No. 3, before I die, can I ask you a few more questions?"
Facing the opponent who might attack at any time, Lei Xiao tried his best to steady his Jingji and said calmly.
"I am very curious. You are going to die soon. What questions will you ask?"
The man in black robe No. 3 neither affirmed nor denied, but had a rather interested tone.
"Why do you, who are so mysterious and unpredictable, want to help the second prince seize the throne?"
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and said bluntly.
"Stupid question."
The man in black robe No. 3 snorted coldly and said leisurely: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince is young, promising and resourceful. We were just inspired by His Highness the Second Prince's courage and volunteered to serve for him."
"Oh? In my opinion, that's not the case, right?"
While Lei Xiao was ready to use the group teleportation scroll to escape at any time, he continued: "As far as I know, there are traces of you in the upper echelons of Shengye, and you are also trying to peek into the royal power. Are you loyal to two masters at the same time?"
"City Lord Kongqing, what do you mean?"
The man in black robe No. 3 was already surrounded by a surge of magic power, and he said solemnly: "Our loyalty to His Highness the Second Prince cannot be tarnished by anyone!"
"But that's not what the Dream Knight said."
Lei Xiao's hands were behind his back, and the teleportation scroll had quietly emerged, and he wrote lightly: "The second prince is just your puppet. Your real purpose is to control the cold flame kingship!"
"Of course, in the current complex and ever-changing situation, you will never reveal your true intentions, or even choose to succumb to the second prince's command."
Lei Xiao gradually raised his voice and said calmly: "Once you help the second prince succeed in claiming the throne, you will immediately turn him into a puppet and control the Cold Flame Kingdom from behind, so as to more conveniently complete the ulterior mission.
The so-called divine plan?"
"Lord Kong Qing, it seems you know everything."
Hearing what Lei Xiao said, the man in black robe No. 3 simply stopped arguing and said arrogantly: "Since you are about to die, I might as well tell you, that's right! Our purpose is precisely to control Leng
Flame King Power!"
"Of course, as you said, we are not only targeting the Kingdom of Cold Flames, but also other countries including the Kingdom of Holy Night."
"The first thing we do when we take control of the royal power is naturally to change the dynasty, turn all the lowly races into slaves, and build a larger empire."
"As for the rest, it is a secret that cannot be told. When the time is right, everything will be very clear."
The man in black robe No. 3 began to become more and more unscrupulous, laughing and saying: "It's a pity that you can't wait for that great time to come, Jie Jie Jie!"
"Your purpose is actually to overthrow the Cold Flame Kingdom!"
Ariel raised her eyebrows and said with a face full of anger: "The Kingdom of Cold Flame has lasted for more than six hundred years, how can you guys just get involved in it casually?"
"Your Highness, if you want to be angry, you can only do it now."
The man in black robe No. 3 obviously did not take Ariel seriously, but laughed wildly and said: "I will send Lord Kongqing City on his way first, and it will be your turn next!"
"Of course, your stupid brothers, and even your half-dead old father, will soon accompany you!"

When the man in black robe No. 3 reached this point, Lei Xiao immediately answered: "So, the reason why His Majesty the Steel Wrist King suddenly fell seriously ill, causing chaos in the Cold Flame Kingdom, and even the loss of life, is because of you.
What's going on behind your back?"
"That's right! I might as well tell you that the reason why that stupid old guy suddenly fell ill was all under my control!"
The arrogance of the man in black robe No. 3 became more and more arrogant, and he laughed arrogantly and said: "How about it? Lord Kong Qing, now you know the truth, so go to hell!"
After finishing speaking, the man in black robe No. 3 became so powerful that he turned his palms into claws and tried to attack Lei Xiao fiercely.
Just when Lei Xiao gritted his teeth and was about to use the teleportation scroll.
A strange and vast figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Have the changes finally come?"
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly and let out a long sigh of relief.
