In the slightly gloomy secret command post, Stone and Kent, two wealthy family heads with obvious fierce looks, were activating their trump cards.
Under Lei Xiao's order, the 22 merchant army regiments in our city are also moving quickly inside Kyle Fort.
Needless to say, the 10 legions located in the outer city have all begun to move towards the city gate leading to the central area, striving to unite as soon as possible and establish defensive positions, waiting for the reinforcements of Cole, Lorna and others.
As for Rona, Cole and others in the central city, after a simple reorganization, they separated into legions and headed towards the magic towers distributed in the central city.
As a fortress city, Kyle Castle has a total of 72 magic towers that power the absolute defense barrier.
Among them, there are 36 in the outer city, 24 in the central city, and 12 in the inner city.
This means that as long as Cole, Lorna and others capture 2 magic towers per legion, they can successfully open the passage to the outer city and join forces with the 10 legions waiting for reinforcements.
At the same time, in order to prevent the eight defeated enemy legions from counterattacking, Lei Xiao also ordered Xiao Huan to use full firepower and use the [God's Stone] skill to attack from all sides, summoning eight illusion legions to confuse the opponent.
After all, the illusion interference barrier in the outer city has been lifted by us, and there is no illusion interference barrier in the central city, making our illusions unimpeded.
In this way, even if the opponent desperately protects the magic tower or attempts to defeat us one by one, we can mobilize our troops in time to deal with it.
After all, among the 12 legions in our central urban area, we still have close to 6 main legions, each of which can compete with 2 to 3 ordinary legions.
The eight legions in the opponent's central urban area are just ordinary legions. The difference in combat power is by no means as simple as 12:8.
At this point, under the respective plans of our side and the enemy.
The huge Kyle Castle was full of smoke, and the thick black smoke rising into the sky made the whole city look like a giant black whirlpool, as if it could swallow everything up at any time.
In front of a towering magic tower near the city gate in the central city, one of our merchant army regiments has destroyed the magic traps set around the magic tower and quickly arrived at the magic tower.
This kind of energy supply magic tower is about the size of a bell tower. From the outside, it looks like a thick lighthouse with dense magic lines engraved on it.
Inside each magic tower, there are one to several squadrons of elite magicians stationed there.
The surface of the magic tower is also covered with a small absolute defense barrier and has a large number of magic shooting ports, making it impossible for the magic tower to be easily captured.
In front of the murderous merchant formation, Cole was commanding the magic cannons to get into position.
Not far from Cole, Kerwin was organizing a commando team, preparing to rush into the tower and suppress the opponent's magicians as soon as the absolute defense barrier was shattered.
After reorganization, the legions led by these two commander brothers have been merged together.
I saw the two people under the approaching tower, both looking extremely serious, as if a bloody battle was about to come.
The two of them clearly understood that although the magic traps around this magic tower had been eliminated, the Fourth Prince and his group would not give up any magic tower easily.
After all, once all the magic towers in the central city fall into our hands, our 12 legions in the central city can lift the blockade of the absolute defense barrier and quickly rush to the rescue of the 10 legions in the outer city.
By then, the other side's plan to swallow up the 10 legions in our outer city will undoubtedly come to nothing.
The 10 legions in danger in our outer city can also escape the disaster and join the 12 legions coming to support from the central city.
At that time, as long as we concentrate our efforts, destroy all the magic towers in the outer city, and welcome the army and strong men under your Excellency Keqing into the city, the capture of Castle Castle will no longer be an unattainable goal.
It is not difficult to see from this that the fourth prince, who also knows this, will not give up any magic tower easily. At least, these magic towers in the central city must buy enough time to complete the swallowing of our outer city 10
An army plan.
"Of course, I won't just watch all this happen. If this is a race about time, then we will definitely leave the Fourth Prince and his gang far behind!"
Seeing that all the magic cannons were in place, Cole raised his sword high and ordered the magic gunners around him: "Attack with all your strength and crush the absolute defensive barrier covering the tower!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Accompanied by the earth-shattering sound of magic cannons.
The flames of the magic artillery fire splashed everywhere, and the absolute defensive barrier covering the surface of the tower only lasted for a moment before it shattered with the sound of shattering glass.
Seeing this, the brothers Cole and Corwin, as commanders, immediately looked at each other.
Just one round of artillery fire shattered the absolute defensive barrier on the magic tower. The defense measures of this magic tower seemed to be too weak.
However, the military situation was urgent, and Cole and Corwin had no time to think of anything else. Corwin took the lead and rushed in with the commandos.
"For the sake of your lord, those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
The moment Corwin smashed the metal door of the magic tower with his sword and rushed into the magic tower, his face, which was boiling with murderous intent, became stunned again.
The magic tower was empty, and not even a shadow of an enemy was seen.
"Look to see if there are any enemies hiding in the dark, don't miss any corner!"
Astonished, Corwin first directed his soldiers to search around, and then shouted to Cole outside the tower: "Brother, the magicians on the other side have secretly evacuated, and this seems to be just an empty tower!"
"What?"
After hearing Corwin's call, Cole's scarred face was full of confusion, and he quickly rushed into the tower with his bodyguards.
Not long after, the brothers Cole and Corwin led people to search the magic tower inside and out, and finally came to an extremely puzzling conclusion.
That is the enemy magician in the magic tower. Indeed, they had already left the tower before our arrival and evacuated the area in advance.
"Not only did the other party not resist desperately, but they allowed us to go unstoppable all the way. This is obviously against common sense. What exactly does the other party want to do?"
While he was puzzled, Cole did not sit idle. He immediately followed Lei Xiao's instructions and ordered his elite magicians to destroy the energy supply line of the magic tower.
It will take at least a few days to repair these magic lines. As a result, at least in a short period of time, this magic tower will not be able to supply energy to the absolute defensive barrier in the central city.
After completing all this, Cole immediately did two things.
The first thing is to immediately report everything to Lei Xiao.
The second thing is to contact Lorna, Buz and other legions.
The replies we got were all exactly the same as here. The enemies in other magic towers in the central city had also evacuated in advance, leaving us with empty towers.
"Your Excellency, guest, what is going on?"
After summarizing the latest battle reports from the central city, Keane's old face was full of confusion and asked Lei Xiao: "How could the opponent abandon the magic tower in the central city and let us cut off the energy supply line?
"
After Keen finished speaking, the other elders all looked over with solemn and puzzled expressions.
As the saying goes, when something goes wrong, there must be a monster. This must be the opponent's conspiracy. As for the content of the conspiracy, it is temporarily unknown.
But what is certain is that this must be a move that the opponent is extremely confident about, otherwise the opponent would not be able to give up the magic tower in the central city so easily and let us cut off the energy supply line.
"It is true that we still cannot know the specific content of the other party's conspiracy, but based on the existing situation, we can more or less deduce some clues."
Although he also felt uneasy in his heart, Lei Xiao still waved his hand, indicating that the elders did not need to be nervous, and then asked another elder who was responsible for gathering intelligence in the outer city: "Elder Bazel, what is the latest situation in the outer city now?
"
"Your Excellency, Sir, the battle in the outer city has begun. Our 10 legions have just assembled and established defensive positions. The opponent's 20 legions have pressed forward from all directions and launched a fierce attack."
Bazel froze his gray eyebrows, stroked his chest and reported: "However, because Your Excellency Ke Qing's order was timely, it gave our 10 legions in the outer city a lot of preparation time. Therefore, even though the opponent's number is superior, at least in the
There is nothing we can do in the short term.”
"A violent attack? So there is no doubt that the opponent's target is still our 10 legions in the outer city."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and while walking slowly in the hiding place under the towering wall of Kelburg, he said thoughtfully: "Since the opponent's goal has not changed, but they gave up the magic tower in the central city, then the answer is
There’s only a little left.”
Lei Xiao's tone increased a bit, and he affirmed: "That means the other party must have other means to prevent our 12 legions in the central city from rushing to the outer city!"
"The other side has other means to prevent us from rushing to the outer city?!"
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, all the elders looked at each other with expressions of surprise and confusion.
You know, behind the 24 magic towers in the central city is an absolute defensive barrier covering the central city.
Is there any other means that can prevent us from rushing to the outer city more than an absolute defensive barrier? It is simply unbelievable!
"As I just said, as for the specific means, we still don't know."
Lei Xiao's face became more solemn, and he spoke to the elders: "The only thing we can do now is to stabilize the morale of the army and carry out the planned plan, and at the same time instruct the armies in the central city to send more scouts to investigate the central part.
Every corner of the city has remained unchanged in response to changes."
"What Your Excellency Ke Qing said is absolutely true. This is indeed the best approach at the moment!"
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, Keen and others nodded thoughtfully, and the nervous expressions on their old faces gradually eased.
All the Phytophthora elders understood clearly in their hearts.
Facing the other two wealthy families, the Lancaster family and the Yorkman family, although this war is still full of uncertainties, the powerful courage and planning displayed by Your Excellency Keqing are enough to defeat every soldier of the Phytolacca family.
Maximize your ability.
This will undoubtedly touch the dawn of victory to a great extent!
Looking at the old faces of the elders, Lei Xiao paused and added: "Please remember, although our opponents must have trump cards in their hands that we did not expect, as long as we work together, everything will be possible."
Everything will be solved easily."
"As you command, Your Excellency!"
All the elders nodded in agreement, then conveyed the order and got busy.
Seeing that the tension around him had been relieved, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that facing his opponent's mysterious trump card, a new storm would surely follow.
In this situation where everything is unknown, if even the elders responsible for conveying orders are in disarray, then the legions in the city will definitely be affected.
Therefore, stabilizing military morale is the top priority before a crisis comes, so that we will not collapse in the storm.
"Speaking of which, what kind of trump cards will the opponent use to block our reinforcements in the central city?"
Just when Lei Xiao was full of doubts, another unexpected change occurred.
The sound of rapid recitation sounded, and Erza's breathless and weak voice came over: "Lord, the other party suddenly used some kind of anti-illusion method..."
Before Erza could finish her words, her voice suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, Nan Xing's anxious whisper came over: "Lord Qi, the illusionist mercenary Mia suddenly fainted on the ground. It seems that she suffered a magical backlash!"
"What?"
After hearing these two pieces of news one after another, Lei Xiao suddenly had a solemn look on his face.
The four illusionists, Xiao Huan, Erza, Xiao Ya, and Mia, are currently located at the four corners of Castle Castle in order to perform their own illusions and assist the merchant army regiment in the city.
And now, since Erza and Mia have suddenly suffered unknown counterattacks, I'm afraid Xiaohuan and Xiaoya have also been affected.
As expected, Lian, who was guarding Xiaohuan, and Nanyue, who was guarding Xiaoya, soon sent reports one after another.
The former stayed there motionless, his body still trembling slightly, while the latter also fainted and fell unconscious.
"Bring them back first."
Lei Xiao did not hesitate and immediately said to the main subordinates guarding the illusionists.
Not long after, Lei Xiao saw two illusionists under his command, a stone elf and a mercenary, at a hidden location under the Castle of Kells.
I saw Erza, Xiaoya and Mia still looking pale and in a completely unconscious state, while Xiaohuan in the elf form had a stiff body, his eyes were closed, and his eyebrows were sometimes frowning, and sometimes
Stretching out, it seems that he is still entangled with some kind of opponent.
"Lord, Erza and the three of them have indeed suffered magical backlash, and it's quite serious."
After Ye Cang made some senses, he touched Lei Xiao's chest and saluted, "As for Xiao Huan, although I can't sense it specifically, the aura it emits is far less powerful than usual."
After Ye Cang finished speaking, the main subordinates beside Lei Xiao looked at each other in shock.
To be able to cause our stone elves and three illusion masters whose comprehensive strength is at the peak of the fourth level to suffer heavy losses at the same time, what exactly did the other party do?!
