Hearing the sudden and urgent knock on the door, Jeff and the other Lancaster family soldiers were all startled.
Coupled with "Stone's" words just now, Jeff and others became even more nervous. They all had a look of uncertainty on their faces. Their originally clear minds began to become confused amidst the increasingly urgent knocks on the door.
Got up.
The "Master" in front of him is full of loopholes. It would make sense to say that all of this is a test for the Master.
After all, this guy who came out of the blue was too calm.
Moreover, only the owner of this hidden secret monitoring location knows the specific location. In order to ensure concealment, there are not even guard posts set up outside the attic, but a large number of magic traps are deployed.
But then again, that despicable alien is very cunning. Although we don’t know how the other party did it, we can’t rule out the possibility that all this is a conspiracy.
However, the "Master of the Household" in front of me has always thought of himself as the head of the Household.
The head of the family's uncompromising and ruthless character is undoubtedly known to the entire Lancaster family, and no one dares to disobey him.
If it is really the master of the family who is here, and their suspicion is justified, I am afraid that the master of the family will be furious.
At that time, all the merits will turn into sins.
Faced with the owner of the house whose authenticity was difficult to tell, and the constant knocking on the door, Jeff and others were in a state of confusion and didn't know what to do for a moment.
I saw that "Stone" still had the same calm expression, and said calmly: "Your prudence has been noticed by my family. You are worthy of being the elite of my Lancaster family. I will remember it."
Thanks to your merits, go and open the attic door now, and you will understand everything by then."
At this point, when he saw that Jeff and others did not take any action, "Stone"'s face sank with his hands behind his back, and he said coldly: "What, you didn't even listen to what the head of the family said?"
"It's your order! Master of the family."
After hearing the commanding words of "Stone", Jeff, who was in a dilemma, had to grit his teeth, nodded to the guards and said: "Didn't you hear the order from the master of the house? Go and open the door!"
Not long after, when the running guards and magicians cleared all the magic traps and opened the attic door, it was empty outside.
"Master, what on earth is going on?!"
Sensing that something strange was happening, Jeff and others finally reacted and immediately tried to use the contact secret method, but found that all the messages could not be transmitted at all, as if they were forcibly blocked by something.
"Take a closer look."
Looking at the attic that was beginning to fall into chaos, "Stone"'s movements actually began to become charming, twisting his waist and smiling. The sudden change on the serious old face was extremely inconsistent.
Hearing the sound, Jeff was stunned and immediately looked in the direction of the door again.
Black shadows carrying fierce murderous intent suddenly flew in one after another, and immediately started a melee with the Lancaster magician and guards who were caught off guard.
For a moment, a cold light flashed in the bell tower, screams came one after another, and the blood stains splashed out instantly dyed the walls, floor, and everything around it red.
However, these shrill sounds did not spread out, but just echoed wantonly in the attic.
Along with a large number of Lancaster magicians who were not good at close combat and the outnumbered Lancaster guards, they fell down one after another screaming.
Jeff, who was full of fear, was soon surrounded by sudden black shadows in the middle.
Only then did Jeff clearly see the sudden attic attacker.
I saw that the opponents were all fully armed, and the brilliance emanating from each weapon was particularly conspicuous in the slightly dark attic, illuminating the neat family crest on the chest.
It was a stag with its head raised and its chest raised. The antlers on its head were as entangled as tree roots, exuding a biting chill.
"A strong man from the Phytolacca family?! You, how did you find this place?!"
Seeing that the attackers were all from the Phytolacca family, Jeff's fat face was full of astonishment, and he immediately yelled: "You despicable scum, you are exactly the same as that despicable alien... ugh!"
Before Jeff, whose eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, could finish speaking, he saw a flash of cold light, and a sharp long sword had already penetrated his fat chest.
"He is just a captain of the Lancaster family. He is not qualified to talk to the commander of our army."
The swordsman drew out the blade and looked coldly at the fat body in front of him that was getting colder and colder, falling like mud, and said with disdain.
The blood-stained sword edge shook away the blood stains, revealing the face of a middle-aged commander exuding arrogance.
This man has a neatly trimmed O-shaped beard and a thin, angular face. Although it is covered with shocking scars, it can be clearly seen that his appearance is exactly the same as Elder Thomas.
At this point, his identity is self-evident. He is Cole, one of the sons of Thomas, who is the commander of the legion. His strength is at the fourth level and four stars.
"Brother, all the Lancaster trash in the attic have been wiped out. No one will know that we have received contact from our father."
Another middle-aged commander, who looked younger, walked over surrounded by several adjutants, nodded and said: "I didn't expect that Mr. Keqing was so quick to find the specific location of the opponent's monitoring brigade so quickly.
, and also sent a funny guy.”
After finishing speaking, the middle-aged commander looked at "Archduke Stone" who was walking the catwalk and smiled helplessly.
This younger commander is Elder Thomas's other son, Corwin, who is the commander of the legion. His strength is at the fourth level and three stars.
"Hey, if we hadn't taken action in time, what if we found the location? That guy just moved his mouth."
Cole gently stroked his O-shaped beard and said disdainfully: "We don't know that princess's guest. If my father hadn't sent the news that the head of the family was dead, and seemed to be very proactive, I would have praised the alien to the sky.
I will not accept the command of that alien."
At this point, the situation is very clear.
All this is exactly what Lei Xiao arranged.
Back in time not long ago, when Keen, Thomas and other elders proposed using family secrets to contact the Merchant Army, Lei Xiao had already thought of the possibility of being monitored by his opponents.
Through detailed discussions with the elders, Lei Xiao learned.
The communication secret method of the Phytolacca family has two characteristics.
First, it is able to easily penetrate the absolute defensive barrier of Fort Kell.
Second, although there is no way to avoid the possibility of being intercepted by the enemy, Keane and others will receive feedback as soon as they are intercepted.
Moreover, as long as a not very complicated positioning array is deployed, the opponent's monitoring position can be locked.
However, with the strength of Keen and others, they were still unable to accurately locate the enemy, so Lei Xiao asked Jiang Lei and Hong Ye to participate.
With our two fifth-level magic powerhouses joining us, the positioning array will undoubtedly be most effective. This is why Lei Xiao was able to pinpoint the opponent's location in the first place.
As for "Stone" who appeared later, it was the trump card that Lei Xiao mentioned just now.
It is not difficult to see from the weird state of "Stone" that the leader behind it is the unformed Xiao Huan.
As a stone elf, Xiao Huan was also blocked outside because the [God's Stone] could not penetrate the absolute defense barrier.
In addition, Kellburg has a very good illusion interference barrier, so it is impossible to deploy large-scale illusions to increase our advantage.
However, there is still no problem in creating a mere illusion in the city.
Although Kell Castle is extremely vast, Lei Xiao is surrounded by Xiao Huan, Erza, Xiao Ya, and the half-elf Mia who was forcibly brought in by Lei Xiao with five times the commission, a total of four real illusion masters.
In addition, as the chief illusionist of the royal family, Erza has met Stone many times, so it is naturally easy to imitate him.
Since the other party's monitoring location is located deep in the central area of the city, everything is led by Xiao Huan, who is the most skilled in illusions, and then "Stone" who walks on the catwalk appears.
In the end, "Stone" fought for time even in the face of danger.
The brothers Cole and Corwin, as well as the commanders of the other three ordinary merchant army regiments in the surroundings, led their elite soldiers to the scene in time.
And using the barrier crystal that he carried with him to seal the blocking barrier and interference barrier, he sealed the entire clock tower and isolated everything until the monitoring brigade, which was dominated by magicians, was completely wiped out.
"Brother, we have repeatedly deduced the miraculous battles that Your Excellency Keqing has fought recently. Each time, he was defeated by the noble army of the First Prince and the Second Prince. This shows that Your Excellency Keqing is indeed an extraordinary person."
Hearing that Cole was obviously very prejudiced against Lei Xiao, Kerwen wiped away the blood on his breastplate and said with admiration: "Also, even though my father was very supportive at the beginning, am I secretly against the head of the family?"
Cooperate with the other two giants? Although it has no effect."
"I am opposed to it, but I never thought that an insignificant sideline would become the new head of the family, let alone that one day I would have to accept the command of an outsider."
Cole shrugged his shoulder armor, still showing disdain and said: "I hope that guy lives up to his name and doesn't cause any trouble to me."
"Young, noble Mr. Cole, you are acting arrogant here again."
Another middle-aged commander wearing a bright robe came over. He raised his eyebrows at Cole and said a few sarcastic words, and then said seriously: "Without the help of Your Excellency Ke Qing, the Shanglu family would have been destroyed sooner or later.
In those hands of cold water."
Compared with the Colcowin brothers, who both majored in the physics department, the face of this middle-aged magician commander was obviously much fairer and quite handsome.
This person is none other than Laisili's father, Elder Keen's son Buz, whose strength is at the fourth level and three stars.
Although Buz led only an ordinary legion of the Merchant Family, because the station was also near the bell tower, he also received the order and became one of the five legions to exterminate the bell tower.
With the two main legion strongmen of Cole and Kerwin, as well as the three ordinary legion strongmen such as Buzz, it is naturally easy to gather the top power of the five legions to completely destroy this thousand-man brigade.
.
And it can be seen from the words that because of the tit-for-tat confrontation between the fathers, Buz, Cole, and Corwin are obviously not good friends.
"Isn't this the commander of the Buz Army? I didn't expect that even you weaklings would come."
After hearing Buzz's sarcasm, Cole looked like he was used to it and said calmly: "You are really lucky that you didn't hold back."
When Buzz and Cole said this, they did not continue, but just snorted at each other.
Although they dislike each other, as senior army commanders who control the lives of tens of thousands of people, the two of them can still understand their priorities.
The current situation is still unclear. Not to mention them and the soldiers, even the Phytolacca family is in danger, so the situation is self-evident.
As the leading generals of the Merchant Family, they had no choice but to work together.
"Then, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll come back to help you if you need anything."
I saw "Stone" pouting and winking at the three legion commanders. His cute actions made the three of them goosebumps all over the floor.
"His Excellency Ke Qing's subordinates are indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers."
Seeing "Stone" disappear instantly on the spot, Buz sighed in his heart, and then said to Cole, Kerwin, and the other two legion commanders: "Everyone, let's start following your instructions.
Gather your respective troops and join forces."
"I know it without you having to tell me."
Cole crossed his arms across his chest, and an uncontrollable fighting spirit immediately appeared in the corner of his mouth.
"Everyone, they say that the soldiers of the Merchant Family like us are far inferior to the Lancaster family and the Yorkman family in terms of combat effectiveness. We can only rank last among the three wealthy families. After all, we have lived in the hinterland of the Cold Flame for a long time and conquered the North.
After the war, it has not participated in a decent large-scale battle for decades."
"But the Lancaster family and the Yorkman family, which have been living on the border for a long time, are two wealthy families in remote areas, but they come to have a fight every two days. This can be seen from this."
"But what others don't know is that although we, the soldiers of the Shanglu family, are securely in the hinterland, we have never relaxed, and we have never taken off the swords and staffs from our waists."
"Today, let everyone take a good look at whether our Shangluc family's army is as weak as the rumors say."
At this point, Cole's scarred face was filled with murderous intent again, and he grinned: "This long-lost feast is about to begin!"
After Cole finished speaking, he flew out with his generals and headed towards the station at top speed.
The other legion commanders also looked at each other and made the same move.
At the same time, except for the five legions of Cole, Buz and others.
The remaining twenty merchant army regiments have also begun secret contact and assembly according to Lei Xiao's instructions.
With the undercurrent surging on our side, the battle situation in Castle Castle is already on the verge of breaking out.
