Chapter 964 The Dilemma of the Lord and the Unscrupulous Prince
Looking up at the increasingly dense black mist of death hovering over Kel's Castle, Lei Xiao's clenched fists had veins exposed, but he soon had no choice but to loosen them.
Although the passage from the central city to the outer city has been opened, due to the absolute defensive barrier of the outer city, my group outside the city is still unable to enter the city for reinforcements.
In addition, the 10 legions in the outer city are already in danger, and there is no time left to open the absolute defensive barrier from the inside.
This means that the only conventional way to enter Kell Castle is to attack it with all your strength.
But the absolute defensive barrier of Kekel Castle is extremely strong. Inside each magic tower, there are multiple efficient magic conversion arrays laid out.
The energy supply of a magic tower alone can almost withstand the attack of a fifth-level powerhouse.
What's more, the outer city has a total of 36 magic towers. These tall spiers evenly distributed in the outer city are like solid wedges, making the absolute defensive barrier indestructible.
Thinking of this in his mind, the beads of sweat on Lei Xiao's forehead began to fall to the ground, causing small puddles.
Looking at the anxious expression on Lei Xiao's face, Ariel bit her red lips and stood tightly beside Lei Xiao.
After experiencing so many battlefields, the Lengyan Princess quickly understood the current situation.
Currently, the lord has a total of 4 fifth-level warriors, 2 stone elves, merchant elders, and other main warriors. When all the combat power is gathered together, it can reach the combat power of 10 legions.
Coupled with the magic cannon equipped with magic light crystals on the lord, and the elite squadron in place, the total is comparable to 15 legions. In other words, the lord now holds the firepower equivalent to 15 legions.
In addition, after taking control of the Merchant Family, the lord has ordered the 100,000 fresh troops from Fort Ferro to come to support, but even with the blessing of the Speedy Pill, it will take at least half a day to arrive.
Even if all of Ferroburg's legions arrive, the lord only has the firepower of 25 legions.
With this kind of firepower, coupled with the Lord's massive magic scrolls, it is still unknown whether the absolute defensive barrier of Kel's Castle can be broken through by force.
After all, most of the magicians who power the magic tower in Kyle Castle are elite and powerful men from the Lancaster family and the Yorkman family.
Each of these guys who have been stationed at the two border fortresses in the west and south for many years is a master of defensive warfare who has experienced hundreds of battles, which can be seen from this.
But now, the reinforcements from Fort Ferro have not arrived yet, and even if the lord uses all his combat power, he still cannot forcefully break through the absolute defensive barrier.
What's more, then our position will be completely exposed, and the fourth prince will definitely bring an unknown number of fifth-level alchemy puppets and the necromancer hidden in the city to interfere or ambush us.
By then, the situation will undoubtedly become more complicated and dangerous.
But if nothing is done now, the 22 merchant army regiments in the city will surely be wiped out. In other words, the lord is now in a dilemma.
Thinking of this in her mind, Ariel frowned and moved a little closer to Lei Xiao.
The only thing she can do now is to stay by Lei Xiao's side.
Just when Lei Xiao was in a state of panic.
On the other side, no longer far away, in the dimly lit secret command post, unbridled and arrogant laughter resounded.
I saw that a new conference table had been placed in front of the fourth prince, and he was resting his legs leisurely on the table with a very proud expression on his face.
The two Grand Dukes Kent and Stone, who were at the bottom, looked at each other with stern faces and smiled, as if they were convinced of Lei Xiao.
"Hahaha, as expected of Mr. Stone and Mr. Kent, as soon as the two trump cards came out, the situation of the battle was reversed in an instant!"
The fourth prince shook the shiny black leather boots on his feet and said with a contemptuous smile: "The despicable aliens must have been so scared that they peed their pants by now. Don't you know what to do?"
"Haha, His Highness is right. From the moment we voluntarily abandoned all the magic towers in the central city and quietly concentrated all our main forces in the outer city, the outcome was determined."
Stone gently stroked his gray beard. The wrinkles on his old face became deeper and deeper under the dim light, reflecting the eerie cold light. He said solemnly: "What's more, my counter-attack method also defeated that despicable alien."
The people in the world were caught off guard and bought a lot of time for the Archduke of Kent's trump card."
"I didn't expect Stone Qing to be able to find fifth-level helpers to come to help, and he easily severely damaged all the illusionists under the despicable aliens. It's really satisfying."
While the Fourth Prince was filled with pride, his feet became more and more unscrupulous, causing the entire conference table to tremble.
The fourth prince was seen swinging his feet unscrupulously, while saying with a joking expression: "What makes people laugh even more is that when the despicable alien finally broke through our illusion counterattack, he found that there was a man standing behind him.
When you are a fifth-level expert with monstrous strength, you will definitely be so angry that you vomit blood, right?"
"That's right, the fifth-level helper has more than just the trump card of the Siren King Necromancer. If that despicable outsider plans to fight to the death, I don't mind letting other Necromancers send him to his last journey."
Stone looked calm and leisurely, then a hint of joking appeared on his old face, and he grinned: "Or, it would be good to simply turn that despicable alien from the outside into an undead spirit."
"Well said, I will watch that hateful guy die with my own eyes and crush him to ashes!"
There was a hint of sinisterness on the fourth prince's joking face, and he said sinisterly.
After finishing speaking, the Fourth Prince and Old Stone both laughed heartily, making the proud laughter even more wanton in the command post.
As the laughter subsided, the fourth prince's proud gaze moved and fell on Kent's burly body again. He nodded with satisfaction and said: "But in the final analysis, it was the dimensional storm set off by Mr. Kent that played a decisive role. This time
Thanks to Mr. Kent."
"Your Highness is ridiculous. I am just using His Majesty's majesty to perform normally."
Although Kent's words were humble, his fierce face was filled with a touch of uncontrollable pride, and he joked: "When we voluntarily gave up the magic tower, the despicable outsider must have noticed something strange, but
But I just can’t figure it out, it really makes people laugh.”
"Not to mention those stupid and despicable aliens, even this prince could not have imagined that Sir Kent actually has the ability to create dimensional storms. This is simply a god-given power."
The fourth prince still looked extremely proud and said arrogantly: "With the help of Mr. Kent's Yorkman family and Mr. Stone's Lancaster family, why should I worry about succeeding in my great cause?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, your two ministers will personally send you to the throne."
Kent and Stone looked at each other and smiled, then said with disdain on their faces: "As for the despicable alien and the fifth princess, they and their supporters will die without a burial place!"
"Well said, only by letting their blood flow into a river can the hatred in this prince's heart be relieved!"
A hint of sinisterness appeared on the face of the fourth prince, and he said with a ferocious smile: "They are just outsiders, and they dare to compete with me for the throne. They are not qualified yet!"
With a ferocious look on his face, a trace of doubt emerged in the brown eyes of the fourth prince, and he asked the head of the Yorkman family: "Mr. Kent, how on earth did you control the dimensional storm?"
After a pause, the fourth prince's words were a little more unbelievable, and he said with a puzzled face: "I have never heard of controlling such a terrifying magical phenomenon."
"Haha, Your Highness doesn't know something. This is the credit of the Prairie Kingdom."
Kent stroked his neatly trimmed short beard and said with a serious smile: "When we fought against the Prairie Kingdom in the Rainforest Fortress, I already discovered that the Prairie Kingdom and we have completely different views on dimensional storms."
"Our Cold Flame Kingdom has secretly set up many detection agencies to nip dimensional storms in the bud every time to prevent them from wreaking havoc."
"The Prairie Kingdom is trying to use this mysteriously powerful force for its own use, and has invested a lot of resources in research."
"After learning about this, my subordinates used money and beauty to obtain more information, that is, the Prairie Kingdom has been secretly studying dimensional storms for nearly a hundred years, and has begun to achieve results, and is even preparing to enter the battlefield, catching me and others off guard.
"
"In the end, I took advantage of the other party's civil strife and secretly led the powerful family members to raid the other party's magic research institute. I disguised myself as the other party and took advantage of the other party's century-old research."
A hint of pride appeared on Kent's face, and he continued to talk about his great achievements.
"After obtaining all the research on the Prairie Kingdom, my subordinates further discovered that apart from some theoretical foundations, the other party only focused on the application of war."
"The only breakthrough point was that after the other party studied a large number of dimensional storms, they extracted a special dimensional magic stone from the place that had been ravaged by the dimensional storm."
"This kind of dimensional magic stone can only be refined when the dimensional storm has just disappeared. It can be said to be extremely rare."
"As long as a large number of dimensional magic stones are connected with a special magic circle, and then activated with space spells, you can artificially create a dimensional storm. This has been secretly tested by the Prairie Kingdom many times."
"In addition, as long as we control the frequency of subsequent input of space system energy, we can even speed up the progress of the dimensional storm."
"The only thing worth noting is that this special magic circle is extremely fragile and cannot be built in natural areas with complex terrain."
"Therefore, your Majesty secretly deployed this special magic circle in the central city. The original intention was that once the opponent attacked Kyle Castle, we could introduce it into the central city and destroy them all. Unexpectedly, it happened to be used on the Merchant Army Regiment.
on the body."
Kent's face full of anger was full of pride, and he said with murderous intent: "Being able to kill 12 merchant army regiments, including 6 main army regiments, the formation set up by me is just right."
"So that's it. I didn't expect that the grassland kingdom would actually develop such a cruel thing. This is a killing blow comparable to that of a sixth-level powerhouse."
The fourth prince nodded thoughtfully, then shook his head helplessly and said: "The terrain that can be applied is limited. The most important thing is that this kind of dimensional magic stone can only be produced after a dimensional storm, and it cannot be produced on a large scale.
Mass production."
"That's right, Your Highness, all the dimensional magic stones obtained by your Majesty have been used in the construction of the magic circle this time. It is impossible to build it twice."
Kent shook his head and glanced at Stone vaguely.
In fact, the dimensional magic stone on Kent's body is enough to build a slightly smaller dimensional storm.
The reason why he said this was naturally to confuse Stone. After all, the two were essentially competitors, and there was no guarantee that one day they would be at war with each other.
"As expected of the Duke of Kent, I admire him."
Stone's wrinkled old eyes narrowed slightly, and after staring at Kent for a while, he asked: "Grand Duke Kent, are you sure you can control the dimensional storm and prevent it from continuing to expand?"
After a pause, Stone frowned and added: "You know, the legion under my command is on the edge of the dimensional storm. Once friendly forces are hurt, the gain will outweigh the loss."
"Don't worry, Grand Duke Stone. You must also know that the size of the dimensional storm is completely determined by the space energy particles permeating it. As long as we control the space energy particles within it, everything will be under our control.
."
Kent nodded confidently, then shrugged and said: "The only regret is that the central part of Kelburg will be razed to the ground."
"As long as it can destroy the power of that despicable alien, let alone the central part of Castle Castle, it doesn't matter even if the entire Castle Castle is burned to the ground?"
A bit of coldness emerged on the fourth prince's face, and he grinned: "When the 12 enemy legions in the central city are eliminated, the 10 enemy legions surrounded by our 28 legions will undoubtedly die.
Already."
When he said this, the smile on the fourth prince's gloomy face became even bigger, and he said unscrupulously: "Despicable alien, your cleverness only ends here. This time, I will see how you can solve this fatal situation!
"
"It won't take long before I, the prince, will hold you and that stupid old five in my hands until you are shattered to pieces."
"Oh, by the way, this prince will naturally not let go of any of the other ants who are the lords of the other world with you. From the moment you came to this world, you are all destined to die in my hands.
Already."
After finishing speaking, the fourth prince's wild laughter resounded throughout the dark secret command post again.
…
"Your Excellency, guest, what should I do now?!"
After learning that the central city was about to be destroyed by a dimensional storm, Thomas and other elders whose children were in the central city immediately surrounded them and saluted nervously: "Your Excellency, I beg you, I must save the Merchant Army in the central city.
group!"
"Even if the elders don't say so, I will do it because we have already been tied to the same thread of destiny."
Lei Xiao nodded to the elders and took a deep breath slowly.
Just now, Lei Xiao had already thought of a way to solve the crisis.
