Chapter 508: The end of the fortress battle

He noticed the direction of the camp behind him, and the billowing smoke rising up.

Not only was Hong Mo's old eyes full of disbelief, but his words stopped abruptly.

Even the other soldiers of the Holy Night Army around them all had expressions of shock, and they could hardly believe their eyes.

For a while, except for the constant explosions and shouts of killing around.

This area was so silent, it was terribly quiet.

Such an extremely quiet scene is undoubtedly in stark contrast to the surrounding extremely dynamic battlefield.

While everyone was stunned.

A panic-stricken staff officer rushed to the front of the Red Devil, and said directly to the tunnel: "Master Hong Devil, the hinterland of our camp has been violently attacked by the opponent, and the absolute defensive barrier has been broken by the opponent." !"

"What?!"

Hearing the sound, on Hong Mo's old face, a pair of cloudy eyeballs filled with bloodshot eyes were almost about to burst out of their eye sockets.Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

You know, the absolute defensive barrier in the rear camp is deployed with three of the most elite magician squadrons.

Its strength is so strong that even if the Griffin Knight Squadron that was completely wiped out just now dropped all the alchemy bombs, it would be impossible to break it.

In addition, there are three elite archer squadrons and four elite heavy infantry squadrons guarding the camp.

Such a second-tier elite combat force with a scale of thousands of people, relying on the absolute defensive enchantment, is enough to make ten fourth-tier powerhouses return home without a feather!

"So, how did the other party do it?! Could it be that...in the camp of the mysterious helper, there really are fifth-order powerhouses?!"

Realizing this, a chill instantly rushed into the Red Devil's mind.

Until now, he didn't fully realize it.

How terrifying is that mysterious helping hand hidden in the dark.

"First, he broke Aogu's dedication to the city, and then used his tricks to swallow the most elite intrusion legion of the old man, and then played hard to capture, and defeated the old man's two long-range legions one after another."

Recalling the scenes of this fortress offensive and defensive battle, the Red Devil couldn't help taking a breath of the stale air full of blood and scorching, setting off a huge wave in his heart.

"Then, this mysterious helper used thunderous means to destroy the old man's Griffin Knight Squadron, the disappearing eighth legion, and the powerhouse of the Dark Devourer. Attacked the old man's camp?!"

Looking ahead at the fortress by the forest that was still strong under the fierce attack, the old eyes of the Red Devil were full of shock.

"Originally, the old man thought that as long as he sacrificed his three hole cards, he would definitely shake the balance of victory and welcome the goddess of victory. However, he did not expect that the opponent's hole cards are the real king of this war."

"What's even more frightening is that the mysterious helping hand, even with the top combat power of a fifth-order powerhouse, was not dispatched in a hurry until the final critical moment..."

"In short, recalling all the battles, such a calm and calm strategy and layout, it makes one's spine shudder! It is absolutely impossible for that old man with an elm-like head to do this!"

Thinking of this, the Red Devil's expression became more dignified and puzzled.

Then he roared in his heart: "Then, who is this old man fighting against? Or, who is that mysterious helping hand?!"

At the same time that the Red Devil's mind was fluctuating.

Looking at the direction of the camp in the distance, thick black smoke billowed continuously.

On the faces of the surrounding Holy Night soldiers, the killing intent just now had long since disappeared, replaced by restlessness and fear.

In an instant, the originally high morale and fighting spirit dropped to freezing point in an instant.

"Master Red Devil, retreat! My Holy Night has no chance of winning!"

Directly opposite, the middle-aged lieutenant kneeled on one knee again, begging with his head bowed.

The rest of the staff officers also made the same actions one after another.

Hearing the requests of all the officers, this time, the Red Devil finally let go of his clenched fist.

Knowing that the situation was over, he didn't hesitate any longer, and then he waved his hand and ordered: "First of all, order all the water magicians to create as much muddy terrain as possible on the only way down the mountain.

Secondly, arrange those horses and deer strongholds to prevent the opponent's cavalry from pursuing, and finally, the light and heavy infantry brigades of each legion will come to the rear and retreat! "

A moment later, the low-pitched sound of the retreating horn resounded throughout the battlefield.

Just now, the four people including Hu Zhang and the ten pterodactyl knights including Xiao En also returned intact.

However, Lei Xiao did not let these subordinates go to the battlefield again, but ordered everyone to rest in place.

At this moment, Lei Xiao understood clearly.

What I have to do, of course, is not to wipe out the Holy Night Army fleeing in embarrassment.

Instead, it rebalanced the combat power between Lengyan and Shengye, so that the two sides returned to a confrontation state where neither could destroy the other.

It is conceivable that if the Holy Night Army is completely disabled here.

Then, losing the Cold Flame Frontier Legion controlled by the Holy Night Army will undoubtedly become an extremely unstable factor.

"Just like what I thought just now, once this cold flame army is used by those princes to deal with me in turn, it will be a matter of more harm than good."

With a slight curl of his lips, Lei Xiao continued to think.

"As for the underground tunnel, I have already asked Hongye to seal the entrance, and handed it over to Guanzhong's younger brother Guante, who will lead the garrison brigade recruited from Kongqing Town to be in charge of guarding it."

"Now that we have figured out the exact location of the tunnel, it is naturally not difficult to defend it."

"In addition, when I left, I took all the ice knights and earth guardians back to the space bracelet."

At this time, Lei Xiao was looking at the distant place, where the flames were looming and chasing the battlefield, while thinking thoughtfully: "As for that Guante, let the people get in touch with him later, and just wait for the opportunity to subdue him."

"By the way, there is also Mailan Town where Xuanyue is located. There is also a garrison brigade and two third-tier powerhouses here. I have to let Xuanyue get in touch later. Fortunately, as far as I know, this battle , the two garrison brigades of Kongqing Town and Mailan Town are almost unscathed."

"As for the three cities under my command, Magnet Town, Shuiyue City, and Fenglong City, I have not sent reinforcements to this border battlefield, let alone Chijian Town, which didn't even have a garrison before."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao frowned slightly again.

I thought to myself: "Speaking of which, I don't think the underground tunnel under the armory is naturally formed... However, there are no traces of artificial excavation. Therefore, where is the mystery? ?

After thinking for a moment, Lei Xiao's frown furrowed, relaxed again, shook his head and said: "Forget it, the most urgent task right now is to completely stabilize the border battlefield, and then wait for the opportunity to subdue Ariel. As for other things, we will talk about them later." .

Realizing this, Lei Xiao moved his dark eyes and landed on Ariel who was beside him, only to find that this girl was also looking at him with a complicated expression.

"Dear Your Highness the Fifth Princess, do I have flowers on my face?"

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao teased.

"Don't...don't be sentimental, this princess is just looking behind you, and it just happened to be blocked by your head!"

On the other side, Ariel quickly withdrew her gaze, flicked the ponytail behind her head, and hummed softly.

However, just after she finished speaking, Ariel's starry eyes flashed, and she unconsciously cast her gaze over again, and said to Lei Xiao, "I came from another world, this time it's really thanks to you."

After finishing speaking, Ariel revived her spirits and gave Lei Xiao a standard breast-stroking salute: "On behalf of the people of Lengyan and all the soldiers of Lengyan in the three fortresses, thank you for your help!"

"You're welcome, it's just a matter of raising your hands."

Smiling lightly, Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly and said.

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao seemed to be inadvertently staring at Ariel's starry eyes and said: "However, even if the crisis is resolved this time, as the fifth princess of Leng Yan, you should understand better than anyone else that this is just Its just a battle to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

"You're right, but that's all I can do."

Hearing the sound, Ariel recalled what happened in the capital, her starry eyes drooped, and a sense of powerlessness and frustration surged into her heart again.

Although she never said it, Ariel clearly understood it in her heart.

In her three brothers ~ she couldn't see a glimmer of hope for Leng Yan's future.

All she saw was the reckless killings in the capital, the frenzied destruction, and the desperate eyes of innocent civilians on the streets before they died.

The once prosperous royal capital has now become a **** battlefield for power.

But her father's exhortations, the royal family's maxims, and even the safety of the entire kingdom and its people had long been thrown out of the blue by her three brothers.

What makes Ariel even more uncomfortable is that she, who is weak, can't change anything about all of this.

On the contrary, because of Brother Wang's pursuit, she fled the capital in embarrassment, and was even forced to leave her seriously ill father.

"In your body, perhaps, there is another possibility."

Just when Ariel thought of this in despair.

On the other side, Lei Xiao's gentle and calm voice sounded again.
