The moonlight is diffuse and the stars are sparse.
On a battlefield of scorched city ruins, all five of our breakout legions have been deployed and are fighting in a melee with the opponent's blocking legions who are holding their positions.
You must know that the enemies and we who are fighting on the battlefield are the leading wealthy armies of the Cold Flame Kingdom, especially the main army's combat power, which is by no means inferior to any royal army.
Because of this, the equipment configuration of every general and soldier participating in the war is by no means comparable to that of an ordinary noble army.
In order to defeat the other side, the commanders from both sides, from top to bottom, played all their cards without reservation.
Accompanied by angry war cries, magic scrolls and magic potions were continuously activated and swallowed, causing sudden magical lights of various colors to explode among the soldiers one after another, arousing fierce waves.
Strong winds and shrill screams.
From the very beginning, this battle quickly entered the most intense and intense stage.
All the soldiers clearly understood that this battle would greatly affect the outcome of the entire battle, and it was also related to everyone's life and death. Naturally, they did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
"Young master of Shanglu, go to hell!"
In the center of the bloody battlefield, a fourth-level lieutenant general of the Yorkman family raised his warhammer high and swung it straight towards Andy, who was leading the army, creating a murderous wind.
"The weight of your war hammer cannot defeat our determination to move forward!"
Facing the roaring giant hammer, Andy sneered, and the battle ax in his hand drew a bright silver light without giving in at all.
boom!
There was only a violent metallic muffled sound, and the weapons of the two were pressed against each other. No one was willing to take a step back. Instead, the violent wind stirred up by the collision knocked a dozen light infantrymen who were caught off guard and fell to the ground.
, struggling to get up.
"Young pretty boy, you do have some skills."
Lieutenant General Yorkman's ox-horned helmet reflected a pair of vicious eyes, and he said solemnly: "But our Yorkman family has been walking on the edge of the sword all year round, how can we be compared to you and other pampered young men?"
of?"
After speaking, Lieutenant General Yorkman shouted loudly and increased the force of the war hammer in his hand, causing his heavy combat boots to sink into the broken stone road.
Feeling the fierce murderous intent emanating from the opponent's body, Andy's bright eyes remained firm, and the energy in his belly also rose, converging towards his arms.
After experiencing a series of high-intensity battles, although Andy was extremely exhausted, due to the supplement of potions and his experience in many battles, he knew how to save energy to the maximum extent, so he was able to continue to persevere.
"Although our Shanglu family lives around the royal capital, we have always been prepared for danger in times of peace. Not only do we send a large number of elite soldiers to the front lines of various fortresses every year for training, but we have also never lacked them in major important battles over the past hundreds of years.
Exceed the blood of our Shantweed soldiers!"
With the blessing of the energy in his body, Andy's thick palms covered by gauntlets exposed the veins and began to exert force continuously.
I saw that he was full of momentum. He raised the ax blade suddenly and blocked the opponent's heavy war hammer. He shouted coldly: "You arrogant guys have dispatched troops from the border here without permission. What's the point?"
Are you qualified to give pointers to our Phytolacca family?"
"Naochao, you must die today!"
Lieutenant General Yorkman lay on his back and swallowed a magic potion. First, he knocked away all the surrounding Phytolactin soldiers, and then blasted towards Andy again with unstoppable power.
"No matter what the cost, I will help you win this battle!"
Andy, on the other hand, took his time and activated a cyan magic scroll.
In an instant, a series of green wind blades visible to the naked eye emerged, and under Andy's command, they surged straight towards the opponent.
Seeing this, Lieutenant General Yorkman's pupils shrank, and his reaction was extremely quick. The energy shield around him was shining brightly, which complemented the splendor of the plate armor he was wearing. The momentum was quite impressive.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As sharp wind blades shot out one after another, Lieutenant Yorkman, who was attacked by magic one after another, did not slow down, and continued to attack Andy with a grin.
At some point, another khaki magic barrier appeared on his body, making it impossible for the flying wind blades to penetrate.
Not far behind Lieutenant General Yorkman, Lieutenant General Lancaster, protected by many personal guards, loomed, waving the magical staff in his hand.
At this point, the situation is self-evident. With the defensive blessing of Lieutenant Lancaster, Andy's fourth-level spell obviously did not have any effect.
"Hahaha, let's see how you, the pretty boy, respond this time!"
When the power of the wind blade completely dissipated, Lieutenant Yorkman, who was unscathed, became more powerful and had already attacked Andy with his giant hammer.
Under Andy's feet, extremely sharp thorns began to burst out, stirring up bursts of gravel and dust.
With the assistance of Lieutenant General Lancaster, Andy, who was evenly matched with the opponent, instantly fell into a disadvantage. Not only did he have to face the roaring war hammer, but he also had to deal with the ground thorns under his feet, making the whole scene dangerous.
.
"Trash, let's see how long you can last!"
Seeing that Andy was tired of dealing with it, Lieutenant Yorkman fought more and more bravely, and soon beat Andy, who was almost exhausted, unable to fight back, and began to retreat step by step.
But just when Andy was almost unable to resist, a shrill scream came from Lieutenant Lancaster, and a sharp crossbow arrow accurately nailed his skinny chest, causing him to fall crookedly.
The one who took action was none other than Nan Xing, who was wearing an invisibility cloak.
At the beginning of this breakout battle, Lei Xiao sent out Lian, Ye Cang, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Bai Wei and other high-speed and melee-fighting main force to secretly protect our generals while also killing the opponent's soldiers along the way.
Commander, this is what happened just now.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that each of our commanders who broke through the encirclement was very important to the battle, and naturally they could not be lost easily.
At the same time, there is another important reason why Lei Xiao only deploys his main fourth-level warriors on the battlefield, which will not be discussed here.
"Being able to pierce the heart with one arrow from the protection of so many guards is obviously not something that an ordinary strong person can do. So, is it the help of Your Excellency Ke Qing again?"
Noticing the fall of Lieutenant General Lancaster, Andy's morale was greatly boosted as he saved his life again. Coupled with Nan Xing's intimidation, the situation of the battle was immediately reversed.
On a battlefield filled with fire and corpses, Andy's tomahawk was in full swing, and with the cooperation of Nan Xing, he successfully killed the helpless Lieutenant General Yorkman.
A mysterious figure with overwhelming momentum suddenly appeared behind Andy. The dark broad-blade sword in his hand exuded a deadly aura and stabbed Andy in the back.
Under the illumination of the fire, the majestic and mysterious figure gradually became clear.
His whole body was pitch black, his body was tall and well-proportioned, and he looked powerful.
What is surprising is that the firelight illuminated the black face of the mysterious figure, but did not reflect any facial features, only a vague outline of the face, like an unsculpted and unpainted character model, which looked weird on the bloody battlefield.
Extremely.
Needless to say, these were the unknown number of fifth-level alchemy puppets in the hands of the fourth prince, exactly the same as what Lei Xiao had seen before.
Due to the sudden attack of the fifth-level alchemy puppet, Andy had no time to react and could only watch the unstoppable sword slashing towards him.
At this fatal moment of lightning, another more burly figure descended from the sky, waving the giant sword in his hand, and cleanly blocked the opponent's sword edge that could crack mountains and crack rocks.
The person who came was none other than Polygonum cuspidatum.
"Leave this guy to me and go elsewhere."
The rugged face of the tiger stick was full of indifference, and he nodded slightly to Andy, then turned into a phantom and came up with a sword, fighting with the fifth-level alchemy puppet.
As the sword blades wrapped in majestic energy continued to collide fiercely, earth-shaking loud noises spread out from the fierce battlefield.
Wherever the surging sword energy touched, whether it was buildings, floor tiles, or fighting soldiers, it was instantly shattered to pieces, and the momentum was extremely astonishing.
Due to the sudden fight between two fifth-level powerhouses, the bloody battlefield suddenly rose and became more intense. This was exactly the huge change that Lei Xiao saw.
"The opponent finally couldn't hold it any longer and was the first to throw its top combat power into the battlefield?"
Lei Xiao looked at the large empty area in the center of the battlefield and nodded slightly. That was the area where the tiger stick and the fifth-level alchemy puppet were fighting.
At this point, another important reason why Lei Xiao only invested in Tier 4 main powerhouses from the beginning has become very obvious.
That is to lure the snake out of the hole, attract the opponent to invest in top-level combat power first, and then use it to attack each other, so as not to make the fifth-level strong men under his command passive from the beginning.
"Of course, the reason why I attract the other party to invest in top-level combat power first is not just for these reasons."
Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to stare at the increasingly turbulent battlefield.
It didn't take long for Jiang Li's deliberately lowered voice to be heard along with the reminder sound: "Lord Qi, my subordinates have successfully found the hiding place of the fourth prince!"
"Very good. If you have the chance, don't hold back and kill it directly!"
After hearing Jiang Li's report, Lei Xiao's eyes lit up and he ordered without hesitation.
This is the most crucial reason why Lei Xiao attracts the opponent to invest in top-level combat power. He uses the movement trajectory of the opponent's alchemy puppet when it attacks to follow the clues and find the specific location of the fourth prince.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that in the face of successive defeats, the powerful fourth prince would never be able to sit still in the secret command post and would definitely visit the battlefield in person. The best evidence of this was the dispatch of the fifth-level alchemy puppet.
Therefore, as long as the fourth prince, who is the leader, can be successfully killed, the leadership of this war will completely fall into his own hands.
In addition, the fourth prince holds an unknown number of fifth-level alchemy puppets in his hands. Based on this alone, the fourth prince must be our number one target.
"With the magic portrait provided by Ariel, it is not difficult to find the fourth prince himself, but there must be an absolute defensive barrier around him and the protection of many masters. That is the most difficult part to kill him."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this in his mind, Jiang Li's crisp sound of distress soon sounded again.
"Lord, the fourth prince is currently on the observation deck on the top floor of an illusion interference magic tower. There are indeed many guards around him, as well as the protection of an absolute defensive barrier. Moreover, just the fifth-level alchemy puppet can sense two...
It’s hard to find an opportunity to start now.”
After listening to Jiang Li's report, Lei Xiao looked solemn, nodded thoughtfully, and said thoughtfully: "Coupled with the necromancer who just entered the battlefield and kept a low profile, in other words, in the opponent's camp,
Do you have at least the combat power of four fifth-level powerhouses?"
Lei Xiao's eyes were solemn, and he slowly took a deep breath of the blood-filled and burnt air.
In the Castle of Kele, he only has three people under his command: Jiang Li, Hu Zhi and Hong Ye, while the White Knight is receiving reinforcements from Fort Ferro outside the city.
This undoubtedly means that judging from the current situation alone, the top combat power under his command has fallen into a disadvantage.
"It seems that my judgment of capturing the thief first is indeed correct, but judging from the current situation, it is obvious that Jiang Li cannot do it by herself."
"And I only have Hong Ye, a fifth-level expert, by my side. How should I act to lure the snake out of its hole?"
While Lei Xiao was thinking this, he ordered the half-elf ancestor who was monitoring the Fourth Prince and his group: "Jiang Lei, just continue to secretly monitor the other party for the time being."
After he stopped talking, Lei Xiao couldn't help but frowned tightly.
It is conceivable that since I already know that the other party's top combat power exceeds ours, then the other party must also know this.
In this case, if the opponent's top combat power comes out in full force, our side will undoubtedly immediately fall into a passive situation, and it will be difficult to find an opportunity to turn around.
Just when Lei Xiao frowned and thought of this, Lina's nervous voice suddenly rang out: "Lord Qi, the mysterious fifth-level necromancer is heading towards the battlefield in the outer city at a high speed!"
"Did you really come?"
After listening to Lina's report, Lei Xiao's brows knitted together completely.
Not long after the dimensional storm was resolved, Lina, who was outside the city, had successfully cast the beast master's special tracking spell and located the location of the mysterious necromancer.
It was learned that after the Siren King's corpse was cracked, he had been hiding in the inner city without any movement.
But now, the opponent's re-emergence undoubtedly means that the Fourth Prince is indeed preparing to invest more top-level combat power into the battlefield, which will make our side more passive and make it more difficult to find opportunities to capture the thief before the king.
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, something happened suddenly.
I saw another fifth-level alchemy puppet that had been hidden for a long time, quietly appearing behind Lei Xiao, and slowly raised the sharp blade in his hand.
