Looking at the unconscious Erza and others, Lei Xiao's expression began to become more solemn.
The unknown trump card behind the opponent's abandonment of the magic tower in the central city has not yet been clarified, and Erza and others suddenly encountered some kind of magical counterattack.
This undoubtedly means that the opponent holds at least two trump cards and activates them at the same time.
“When one wave doesn’t subside, another wave arises again?”
Feeling solemn in his heart, Lei Xiao froze his eyebrows, and immediately took out a bunch of precious fourth-level healing potions, and ordered Ye Cang to further treat Erza and others.
Erza and Xiaoya are both indispensable main players for our team, and the mercenary Mia also plays a big role in our future, so naturally there cannot be any mistakes.
"Lord, what should we do now?"
After helping Ye Cang place the unconscious Erza and others, Ariel came to Lei Xiao's side and whispered: "The other party not only used unknown means to break our illusion aid, but also
There is another trump card that has not yet been revealed, and the situation seems to be getting more and more serious."
"Yes, Lord Lord, this undoubtedly puts us in an extremely passive position."
Jiang Li, whose fair face was full of awe, took a step forward and echoed: "The absolute defense barrier here has the effect of blocking space spells. Although my subordinates cannot enter the city, they can feel that in addition to the number of people in the city,
Outside of the huge army, there is obviously some unknown force hidden."
"Lord, my subordinates also feel the same way. Although the civilians in this city have already evacuated, and only a large number of enemy and enemy soldiers are located in it, my subordinates can still smell a trace of power that does not belong to the army, and it suddenly appeared just now.
."
The slender Hongye walked over with long legs and said with a frown: "I'm afraid it was this mysterious power that caused Erza and others to suffer a magical backlash."
"A mysterious power that suddenly appears?"
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, his brows already wrinkled into a knot.
Although the source of this mysterious power is not yet known, its ability to cause our four extraordinary illusion masters to suffer magical backlash at the same time proves that this mysterious power is extremely dangerous.
Moreover, illusion is the only support for our merchant army regiment in the city. Once lost, it will definitely have a considerable impact on the civil war situation in the city.
The most critical thing is that if the opponent uses illusions to confuse our army in the city, the situation will be even worse.
Once all the merchant army regiments in the city are wiped out, the remaining 100,000 direct soldiers outside the city will undoubtedly be unable to withstand the opponent's sword.
By then, as long as the opponent takes advantage of the victory and rushes out of Kell Castle and attacks our territory, everything will be irreversible.
Looking at Lei Xiao's solemn face, the tiger sticks and the white knight on the other side could not help but frown in the same way.
Especially the white knight understands it clearly.
The absolute defensive barrier surrounding Fort Kyle is extremely strong. With the current configuration of Fort Kyle and the experienced defense methods of the two giants, it is enough to easily resist the fierce attack of dozens of legions, at least for a short period of time measured in days.
It is impossible to break it by force.
Even if the lord brings in all the magic cannons with sufficient energy, it will be difficult to crush them in a short time. Instead, our vitality will be wasted.
After all, the number of magic light crystals is limited, and many of them are still in a state of not being fully charged.
In other words, under the current situation, they are obviously powerless.
For a moment, facing the unknown situation turbulent in the city and the unconscious Erza and others, the main force and subordinates all felt a sense of powerlessness rising from the bottom of their hearts.
I saw everyone looking at the towering city wall, and at the same time looking at the merchant elders who were nervously summarizing the battle situation not far away, with expressions of confusion on their faces.
"Everyone, the current situation seems complicated and extremely unfavorable to our side, but in the final analysis, it is just because of the two trump cards temporarily used by the opponent."
Sensing the uneasiness of his subordinates, Lei Xiao's expression was calm and he nodded slightly to his subordinates.
"We have just experienced a big victory, and it is a time when our morale is high. As long as we get rid of these two trump cards, we will naturally regain control of our advantage."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, the nervous expressions of the subordinates gradually eased, and they all nodded.
"Lord, we currently have almost no clue about the two trump cards used by the opponent. How can we eliminate them?"
Sarah's wheat-colored face was full of awe, and she quickly asked.
"Not at all."
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then focused his attention on Xiao Huan's small and exquisite body.
This girl's brows were sometimes furrowed, and sometimes she was showing off. Although she couldn't communicate, she was slightly stronger than the unconscious Erza and the others.
"It seems that the breakthrough is with this girl."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's eyes continued to wander, and fell on Xiao Zhao next to Sarah, and asked: "Xiao Zhao, we are both stone elves. Since you can sense each other's existence, can you sense
What is Xiaohuan thinking about right now?"
"To be honest with you Lord, I have actually tried it just now. Xiao Huan's mind was as wild as an abstract painting sprinkled with paint, making it impossible for my subordinate to find any useful clues."
The crisp sound of armor clashing sounded. Xiao Zhao, who was still dressed as a female knight, first hugged the helmet and saluted Lei Xiao, then shook his head and responded: "So, after sensing it to no avail,
, I have no choice but to give up."
"She is indeed a strange girl among the stone elves. Even her coma is so different."
Lei Xiao sighed helplessly in his heart, and then continued to ask: "Xiao Zhao, imagine carefully, is there anything special in the abstract painting in Xiao Huan's mind? For example, a specific scene or a suspicious noise?"
"A specific sight or suspicious noise?"
Xiao Zhao frowned and carefully recalled the scene he had just perceived.
After a while, Xiao Zhaoxing's eyes lit up and he bowed to report: "Returning to the lord, the abstract picture in Xiao Huan's mind is full of various colors, irregular shapes and chaotic lines, but overall
It also gives people a vague and unreal feeling, just like a reflection in water, this may be a clue!"
"Abstract image like reflection in water?"
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask: "Are there any other special details?"
"Back to the lord, my subordinates also heard a faint melodious melody."
After Lei Xiao's reminder, Xiao Zhao quickly figured out the content of his perception and reported: "That kind of melody is very special, giving people a very longing feeling, but my subordinates can't tell me the specifics."
Xiao Zhao still maintained a respectful posture and added: "Other than that, there is nothing else worth noting."
"The vague melodious melody and the scene like reflection in the water?"
After listening to Xiao Zhao's description, Ariel's fair face was filled with deep thoughts, and she asked Lei Xiao: "Lord, is this a clue about the opponent's counter-illusion card?"
"It's very possible."
Lei Xiao nodded affirmatively and responded: "Judging from Xiaohuan's sometimes nervous and sometimes relaxed expression, she is obviously still struggling with the opponent's trump card, and in her mind, she can only analyze these two clues.
, the answer is almost the same."
"But Lord, these two clues are too abstract. Even if we know these, how can we break the opponent's trump card?"
Ariel's delicate face was full of confusion, and she said helplessly: "This is simply clueless."
"That's not the case. With these two clues alone, we are enough to get the key to breaking the opponent's trump card."
Lei Xiao smiled lightly and began to explain.
"Being able to have four of our illusionists be attacked at the same time undoubtedly shows that the opponent's trump card is very knowledgeable about illusions. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can our illusionists be attacked by magic."
"But this trump card is unlikely to be a genuine illusion powerhouse. After all, Xiao Huan is comparable to a fifth-level illusionist. Even if he plays against a fifth-level illusionist, he will not be so vulnerable."
"Furthermore, if the other party has the help of a high-level illusionist, it will not be possible for our initial concealment to go smoothly."
"It is not difficult to see from this that the opponent's trump card must be closely related to illusions or illusionists, and it is extremely restrained against illusionists."
At this point, Lei Xiao nodded to Ariel: "Knowing this, combined with the two clues provided by Xiao Zhao just now, perhaps we can deduce the true face of the opponent's trump card, and then find countermeasures.
."
"So that's it. You are worthy of being a lord."
Ariel looked suddenly enlightened, and then looked at Jiang Li, Hong Ye and others expectantly.
As a well-informed fifth-level expert, he might be able to think of some clues.
However, Jiang Li, Hong Ye and others all shook their heads in confusion, with helpless expressions on their faces.
This land is vast and contains countless mysteries. Even they cannot master all the knowledge.
"Lord, since this matter is related to illusion, I am afraid that only a strong person who is proficient in illusion can detect the clues in the clues."
Jiang Lei stroked her chest, saluted, and reported to Lei Xiao.
"But Erza, Xiao Huan and others are already unconscious. Where should we find a strong person who is proficient in illusion?"
Ariel tightened her grip on her clothes, her fair face full of eagerness.
"Don't forget we just met a new friend not long ago."
Seeing that the breath of Erza and others had stabilized, Lei Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Ariel.
"Lord, are you talking about Shirley, the chief priest of the Phantom Tribe?"
Ariel reacted immediately and said with excitement in her starry eyes: "The Phantom Tribe are all born illusionists, she must know something!"
"That's right, the situation is urgent, let's get ready to go now."
Lei Xiao nodded to Ariel and started to take action.
After that, Lei Xiao first arranged for Keen and other elders to be in charge, and soon after being teleported by Jiang Lei, he returned to the Patriarch's Castle in Lion Heart City in the blink of an eye.
Speeding along the underground of the family master's castle, Lei Xiao soon arrived at the Phantom Clan temple that exuded mystery and antiquity.
"People who have come from another world, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."
With a burst of mist, Shirley's slender figure appeared in front of Lei Xiao.
"To be honest with you, Chief Priest, I came here with a request this time."
Hearing Shirley's ethereal and soft voice, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and went straight in to explain the situation he encountered in Kelburg.
"Did an illusionist whose strength is comparable to that of the fifth level, and three illusionists whose comprehensive strength is around the peak of the fourth level, suffer from unexplained magical backlash at the same time?"
Shirley held her chin with one hand, a thoughtful look on her fair and translucent face.
"For a senior illusionist, it is easy to break the opponent's illusion, but it is really not an easy task to break the illusion while causing the opponent to suffer magical backlash."
Shirley paused for a moment, then added: "After all, forcing the opponent to suffer magical backlash is a double-edged sword, which will also cause unpredictable damage to the caster himself."
"Your Excellency, Chief Priest, do you have any clues?"
Knowing that the situation was urgent, Lei Xiao quickly asked: "Even some trivial tips will do."
"Combining what you said about the "vaguely melodious melody and the image of reflection in the water," the little woman already has the answer in her mind."
After frowning and thinking for a moment, Shirley smiled and said, "With these two clues, coupled with such a crude use of magic backlash to interrupt the illusion, only that kind of difficult monster can do it."
At this point, the smile on Shirley's fair face faded and she became serious again, solemnly saying: "That's the Siren!"
"Sirens?! Are they the kind of ruthless guys with human heads and bird bodies who often appear between rocks and ships and use their songs to confuse sailors?"
Jiang Li's starry eyes lit up, and she suddenly said: "It is said that this kind of monster can use singing to weave illusions, causing countless ships and sailors to be buried under the sea! And the faint melodious melody and the reflection-like picture in the water are indeed both
There is a strong connection with the Sirens!”
"Yes, this kind of monster is also extremely difficult for us and the Phantom Clan to deal with, but because it only operates in dangerous sea areas, few people know about it."
Shirley nodded to Jiang Li and said seriously: "Siren is a rare illusion magic beast. Its strength is at least the fourth level. Some mutants can even reach the fifth level. The illusions they cast are extremely violent, and they are born to like them.
Break away other people’s illusions.”
"Back then, we, the phantom clan, received a request from our allies and launched an illusion war with a clan of sirens. In the end, although we buried all our opponents, we also paid a heavy price."
Shirley slowly took a deep breath and affirmed: "So, the little girl can be sure that Siren must be the true face of the opponent's trump card!"
"Your Excellency, Chief Priest, what is the weakness of the Siren?"
After figuring out the opponent's trump card, Lei Xiao continued to ask without hesitation.
