Seeing Han Shui once again taking control of the venue below, Ariel frowned, her fair face full of awe.
If Han Shui really had such a eloquent tongue that he deceived all the members of the Phytolacca family present and launched an attack on Keen and other elders, then the situation would be very bad.
This undoubtedly means that we will have to have a head-on conflict with the Phytolacca people who remain neutral. By then, everything will become irreversible.
Even if you use illusions to avoid the opponent's frontal attack, you will probably lose the trust of these neutral tribesmen under the fanning and ignition of Han Shui and others. After all, illusions themselves are a manifestation of deceiving the opponent.
Looking at the tense scene under the tree, Ariel clenched her fists and said eagerly: "Lord, how about we come forward to explain now?"
"It's not the right time yet. To these unfamiliar merchants, we are outsiders after all. When trust has not yet been established, coming forward now will only make everything worse."
Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, paying close attention to the situation under the tree, while softly comforting Ariel.
"Don't worry, the reputation of Keen and others within the tribe is still very good, and these neutral merchants are not fools, and they will not immediately go to war because of Han Shui's one-sided words."
Lei Xiao nodded to Ariel and said with a smile: "Since we have chosen to let Keen and others come forward to expose Han Shui's mask, let's believe in their abilities."
Sure enough, Lei Xiao's words had just finished.
Facing some members of the Phytolacca family who were gradually approaching, Keen's old face not only showed no trace of panic, but instead looked calm.
"People, please don't listen to Han Shui's one-sided story."
Keen took a step forward, faced the tribesmen who had even shown their weapons, and said solemnly: "It is precisely because of the appearance of Her Royal Highness Princess Ariel and Your Excellency Ke Qing that we and the family members have been able to survive until now.
To be able to stand here and expose to you everything about Han Shui’s despicable nature!”
"In other words, not only did Her Royal Highness Princess Ariel and Your Excellency Keqing not do anything that harmed the Phytoccacia family, they are our guardians, and the guardians of the Phytoccacia family!"
After Keen finished speaking, Thomas waved his hand to stop some of the neutral tribesmen who were about to move. He took a step forward with a cane and said: "Elder Keen, what is all this going on?!"
"The thing is actually very simple. That is Han Shui is pushing the Shangluc family into the abyss for his own selfish desires!"
Keen snorted coldly and explained in detail how Hanshui's thugs put Laisili to death in the name of sealing down the store, and how they searched his elder's castle for no reason.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Ariel and Your Excellency Ke Qing only recently went to Lion Heart City, but Han Shui's plan to murder us has been planned for a long time. Isn't this enough to explain everything?"
Keen's old voice was sonorous and powerful, and he said solemnly to the members of the Phytolacca family present.
"Yesterday, the reason why Hanshui's bastards thought that we had perished with the castle was because they had secretly built many explosive arrays inside and outside our castle. Seeing that we refused to obey, they detonated them.
.”
"Fortunately, we disarmed the explosive formation in advance and made the illusion that the castle was destroyed in the fire, so we finally escaped."
Keen's old voice was gradually filled with anger: "As long as we check who owns the explosive array that still remains in our castle, everything will naturally come to light. After all, the construction of an array of that scale cannot be done in a day and a half.
Something that can be accomplished!”
After Keen finished speaking, he looked coldly at Hanshui's chief leader, Elder Thomas, who was a great fire magician who was good at building explosive barriers.
Noticing Keane's piercing gaze, Thomas' old eyes dodge, and he wanted to refute several times, but in the end he was afraid that the image would become darker and darker, so he swallowed it forcefully.
"Everyone, don't be fooled by the words of these rebels. This family leader treats all clan members equally!"
Han Shui Phantom's face was still calm, and he retorted gloomily: "Everything I did was for the Shanglu family, and I never took any benefits that did not belong to me. These are the despicable guests from other worlds."
conspiracy!"
"Hanshui, stop being sophistical! The fair scale that the Phytococcus family has always been proud of has been completely destroyed by you!"
The anger in Old Keen's eyes did not diminish, and he said loudly: "In addition, you not only forcibly mobilized the army of the Shanglu family in an attempt to collude with the other two wealthy families, dragging the Cold Flame Kingdom into the abyss of endless war, but also
We, the loyal elders, even went so far as to kill Silly and other juniors."
The more Keen spoke, the more excited he became, and his old voice echoed back and forth in the green courtyard full of flowers: "The most unforgivable thing is that as the head of a wealthy family who has been protected by the Lengyan royal family for generations, you actually trampled on the mottos and clan rules of past family heads.
According to the regulations, publicly issuing a death warrant for Her Royal Highness Ariel is simply an unforgivable crime!"
"Nonsense! Ariel and the others are already certain to lose in front of the army of our Shangluc family. What you said are just clumsy means by the other party to make the army of the Shangluc family collapse without a fight!"
Hanshui Phantom's calm face finally showed a trace of unnoticeable anger, and he shouted loudly: "Kill these rebels who are deceiving the public with their lies!"
However, under the influence of Keen's words, the neutral tribesmen who were originally prepared to take action have already calmed down again.
As for those doglegs who supported Han Shui, because the white knight was by their side, they had to be cautious, and no one dared to attack first.
Only the soldier puppets summoned before were already approaching the White Knight, Keen and others with murderous intent, preparing to encircle and kill them.
"It's time to continue to show off our strength."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and nodded to the descendants of the Loren royal family who were already ready to go: "Sarah, help the White Knight and Keen."
"As you command, Lord."
Sarah touched her chest and saluted, then concentrated on reciting a mantra.
Under Sarah's summoning magic, 50 burly stone giants with a height of ten meters and as tall as a hill formed in the air at a very fast speed, like a copper wall and an iron wall, guarding the White Knight and others in the middle.
This is exactly one of Sarah's special skills after accepting the ancient inheritance of the Loren family, summoning the Knight Nemesis.
These stone giants are all of three levels, much heavier than heavy tanks. After taking a defensive posture, they are no different from a city wall in essence. They are indeed enough to easily bury charging cavalry.
The most important thing is that although the stone giants move slowly, their physical defense and magic protection are at the top level, which can be said to be the ceiling of defense.
At the gate of the courtyard, dozens of stone giants who looked like Titans were walking, shaking the heavens and the earth, and their momentum was extremely astonishing.
The huge bodies stood side by side, directly blocking the opponent's soldier puppets who were about to surround them. The merchants in the courtyard were dumbfounded.
You know, these extremely good-looking golem puppets, coupled with the original strength of the White Knight, Keen and others, can already rival the combat power of two ordinary legions.
"With the protection of these stone giants, and the various high-level scrolls and potions I gave to White Knight, Keen and others as defensive trump cards, as long as they do not enter the courtyard of the owner's castle, it will be enough for a considerable period of time.
To protect myself.”
"After all, the ice arrow trap that Han Shui showed at the beginning cannot be used continuously. At least in this position covered by the ice arrow trap, it is relatively safe."
Lei Xiao looked at the demonic puppets that blocked the sky and nodded with satisfaction.
Lei Xiao clearly understands that in this world where strength is respected, words alone are not enough. Only by showing corresponding strength can we gain real respect and the right to speak.
In this current situation, it is even more applicable.
Although it is not yet time for him and Ariel to show up in person, they must at least let these wavering merchants know that they have enough capital to expose Han Shui's deeply hidden hypocrisy.
"Everyone, the purpose of Keen of the Shangluc family and the despicable guest minister and others has been revealed!"
Han Shui saw the appearance of the stone giants, and his voice began to get deeper and deeper: "Summoning golems and puppets in the main city of our Shanglu family and threatening the safety of the main city. If we don't kill them now, how long will it take?"
After Han Shui finished speaking, the guard puppets surrounding him had already formed a neat battle formation and charged towards Keen and others.
Suddenly, the spacious street at the entrance of the courtyard was filled with wind and clouds, and murderous intent overflowed.
Fortunately, the strength of the stone giants is extremely impressive. Every time they wave their thick stone arms, they can knock away a group of incoming soldier puppets, and finally fall heavily to the ground.
As for those puppet commanders, although some are more powerful, due to the rough skin and thick flesh of the stone giants, the damage they can cause is relatively limited, at least they cannot shake these big guys in a short period of time.
On the other side of the battle, none of the Phytolacca family members in the courtyard took action.
Of course, the neutral tribesmen, led by Old Thomas and others, are still observing the situation.
The cronies of Keane and others originally wanted to help, but Keane stopped them with his eyes.
The chief elder of the Shanglu family clearly understood that now is not the time to expand the war situation, otherwise the situation will undoubtedly become more chaotic, which will not be conducive to the next actions of Her Royal Highness the Princess and Your Excellency Ke Qing.
As for the Cold Water Doglegs headed by Thomas and the other five elders, although they prepared to take action several times, they finally stood still.
First of all, it was because of the intimidation of the White Knight. On such a small-scale battlefield, a head-on confrontation with a fifth-level powerhouse would be a sure way of death.
Secondly, they are cunning and have already sensed the menacing Lei Xiao and Ariel, and they will not give up.
Although they have always supported Han Shui, it is because Han Shui promised a lot of benefits, but it does not mean that they are willing to fight to the death for Han Shui himself.
Therefore, with such an uncertain future, they were cunning and naturally would not easily choose sides, but gradually turned to the neutral Thomas and others.
After all, they are the elders of the Presbyterian Church. Compared with a family head, they will still put the interests of the entire family and themselves first.
Besides, Keane's questions just now really hit their target, so they can't make the same mistake again and again.
"You hateful wallflowers, you can only follow the wind!"
Hanshui Phantom soon noticed the little thoughts in the minds of Thomas and others, and gave the latter a hard look. In the end, he had no choice but to do anything.
Then, Han Shui Phantom's gaze moved across the courtyard wall and finally landed on the big tree where Lei Xiao and others were staying. A strong murderous intention immediately emerged from his eyes.
"Despicable guest from another world, don't think you can hide forever, my master has seen through everything long ago!"
The face of the cold water phantom suddenly turned ferocious, and the next second, the big tree where Lei Xiao and others were was instantly chopped into pieces by countless biting wind blades, and turned directly into debris, which was piled up on the ground.
.
Seeing this scene, the ferocity on Hanshui Phantom's face became more obvious, and he laughed.
In fact, he, who was hiding in the darkness of the castle and controlling everything, had already discovered the hiding place of Lei Xiao and others, but he had been mobilizing the surrounding magic traps in an attempt to kill Lei Xiao and others with one blow.
"This magical trap that seals the "Ten Thousand Winds Purgatory Slash" was laid during the three hundred years of the rule of the Cold Flame Saint Queen Sophia, by a fifth-level peak wind mage hired by our Shangluc family at a huge expense.
It’s enough to instantly kill a fifth-level expert on the spot! What’s more, the attack speed of wind spells is the fastest among all magics.”
"Even if that despicable alien is protected by a fifth-level strongman, he will definitely die!"
Hanshui Phantom looked at the debris on the ground with satisfaction, and a look of disdain emerged.
"In addition, I also mobilized the Forbidden Magic Array and the Forbidden Teleportation Array around me that were also deployed by fifth-level powerhouses, which are enough to block all means of escape for that despicable alien!"
With this in mind, just when Hanshui Phantom was about to announce loudly that Lei Xiao and others were dead, he was surprised to find through the detection circle that there was no body there.
"What happened? When did those guys leave?"
While Han Shui Phantom's face was full of surprise, Lei Xiao also received a report from Nan Xing Nan Yue and learned that the big tree he had hidden before had been completely destroyed.
"It's okay, tell Keen and others that everything is fine with me."
With shock in his heart, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath.
Just two minutes ago, while the puppets were fighting fiercely under the tree, causing chaos and disorder in the energy in the air, Lei Xiao had already left the big tree with all his subordinates.
Laisili and other weaker ones were arranged by Lei Xiao to hide in a safer place farther outside the family master's castle, ready to attack at any time.
Lei Xiao himself, along with Ariel, Jiang Li, Hu Zhan, and Hong Ye, had already joined Lian, who had sneaked into the courtyard of the Patriarch's castle in advance.
Now is the time when the detection barrier is at its weakest, so it is the best time to enter the family master's castle!
Although this patriarch's castle has a rare and perfect anti-teleportation barrier, it cannot be entered using teleportation.
But Lian, who entered here in advance, had quietly torn a space-time rift through the barrier-breaking props modified by Jiang Li using the city-returning crystal, which was enough to break through the barrier of the anti-teleportation barrier.
Just as he was closing his mouth to speak, Lei Xiao and his party had been teleported by Jiang Lei to the strange house owner's castle.
"Then Han Shui, it's time for us to have a head-on confrontation."
Lei Xiao looked at the strange, dark and unknown environment around him with bright eyes.
