Chapter 680 The Calm Before the Storm

"My lord, do you mean that tonight is the moment when the three-party war situation will start, including us?"

Seeing that Ariel's fair face was full of embarrassment, she asked.

"That's right, before that, I have carefully understood that these two opponents only carried a very small amount of luggage in order to speed up the march."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and said solemnly, "Plus, judging from the situation just now, the Nightmare Knights have no plans to build a strong camp to fight for a long time. Therefore, as long as there is a change in one side's forces, the other side will inevitably will act in the same way.Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

"Exactly."

Ariel frowned and nodded, and asked again: "My lord, how will the Nightmare Knight and the White Knight act?"

"As I analyzed before, the White Knight's first goal must be this territory."

Lei Xiao curled his lips helplessly, and responded, "Today, I have received more than ten reports from Bai Zhi and Orson. The elite scouts of the White Knights have designated this forest where the territory is located as a key investigation target."

"Although two squadrons of these extremely slippery scouts have been wiped out, they are still trying to approach the area where the territory is located."

"It's not hard to see from this that the number of scouts the White Knights have clearly exceeded the size of the two squadrons, and they have already grasped the approximate location of the territory."

Speaking of this, Lei Xiao's face showed a stern look again, and continued: "In this case, as long as the white knight sends an army into the forest, it will be easy for the white knight to find the territory."

"My lord's analysis is very reasonable."

Ariel nodded thoughtfully, and said thoughtfully: "Then how will the Nightmare Knight act?"

"The answer is simple."

With Lei Xiao's sharp gaze, he moved back and forth between the territory on the sand table and Kongqing Town, while responding: "Once the White Knights attack the territory with all their strength, the Nightmare Knights will definitely seize the opportunity to capture Kongqing Town."

"What the lord said is very true. Kongqing Town is the foundation of you and Princess Ariel to the outside world. Taking this city is undoubtedly equivalent to defeating you and Princess Ariel."

Bert stroked his short gray beard, and said in a deep voice, "Once the opponent succeeds, it will greatly increase the reputation of the second prince, and greatly reduce the reputation of you and Princess Ariel. The blow is almost devastating."

"Senior Burt is right."

Jubai leaned on his chin with one hand, nodded and said: "Once Kongqing Town falls, the Nightmare Knight who frees up his hand will definitely wait for work. At that time, even if we can repel the attack of the White Knight, it is impossible to resist the Nightmare Knight." The knight's second attack."

After a pause, Jubai added: "Besides, Kongqing Town is very close to the territory. Except for the extremely limited troops in Mailan Town and Magnet Town, our other peripheral cities cannot be rescued in time."

"The analysis of the two kingdom generals makes sense."

Lei Xiao's wandering gaze finally settled on Kongqing Town, and Lin Lin concluded: "Therefore, Kongqing Town must hold back the Nightmare Knight's attack before the territory completely repels the White Knight, otherwise the situation will be unimaginable. "

"In this way, don't we have to face the attack of nearly 100,000 people from these two opponents at the same time?"

Ariel's fair face began to become more dignified, and her throat rolled involuntarily.

"Don't worry, even though the opponent is very strong, we are not soft persimmons."

Looking at Ariel's uneasy face, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "I have already prepared all the trump cards in my hand, and I am just waiting for the opponent to come to me."

"Furthermore, each of the two opponents' rear regiments is still on the way. Including the losses of the two today, it means that the territory and Kongqing Town are facing less than 40,000 soldiers from each other."

Lei Xiao was still smiling and continued: "The most important thing is that both the territory and Kongqing Town are on the defensive relying on high walls and deep fortifications. Compared with the opponents who are actively attacking, they still have a considerable advantage."

"Understood, my lord, the subordinates are too nervous."

Ariel took a deep breath, and then said solemnly: "Please rest assured, my lord, my subordinates will definitely fight for the territory to the last moment!"

"very good."

Seeing that Ariel's nervous expression gradually eased, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

He changed the subject and said again: "Okay, at noon, I have already told Rudy to prepare dinner an hour earlier than usual, and when you are full, you should take the time to rest for a while." .

"Tonight is the time to really test us."

Five squadrons of longbowmen, two squadrons of heavy shield archers, two squadrons of magicians, and three squadrons of spear fighters, all wearing bows and arrows, have all boarded the city wall and are ready to fight.

Under the quiet moonlit night, a pair of magic cannons exuded a shimmering red light, which was well-maintained and shiny, which was particularly eye-catching.

The Heavy Guard Squadron, Peasant Squadron, and Earth Guardians are closely guarding important facilities such as the lord's mansion, miracle buildings, and warehouses.

As for the five second-tier werewolf fighter squadrons and the four ordinary werewolf fighter squadrons, under the leadership of Shi Feng and the three werewolf clan elders, they were neatly arranged into nine square formations, serving as a reserve team in the territory.

Such an awe-inspiring scene, coupled with the fact that blackout has already been implemented in the territory, and the splendor of the subordinates' equipment has also been completely suppressed, making the place full of cold and dark tones.

I saw that on the faces of each of the subordinates, apart from being nervous and awe-inspiring, there was a touch of excitement and high-spirited fighting spirit.

The opponent's army is about to approach the city, and this is their best chance to repay the lord!

You must know that since coming to this miraculous territory, the Lord Lord's favor has been pouring on everyone continuously.

Needless to say, a full set of Tier 3 equipment and star-rated meals, and with the assistance of potions worth ten thousand gold one after another, the strength of most of the direct subordinates has reached the peak level of Tier 2 at least.

The most important thing is that the lord gave everyone a lot of auxiliary and healing potions.

Being able to carry valuable potions to fight, if it was put beforehand, this is obviously something they dare not even dream of!

Looking at the faces of his subordinates who were full of fighting spirit, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and then walked towards the enchantment crystal in the center of the three miracle buildings.

When he got closer, Lei Xiao noticed.

A group of powerful magicians headed by Hong Ye have already been waiting here.

"Red Ye, Ye Cang, Ariel, Xueya, Faxia, Lina, Zhaoyan, Ward, Yingshi, Huachao, Rudy, Sanwei, Frost Order, I leave this to you, be sure to Go all out to support the absolute defensive enchantment."

Nodding to all the subordinates, Lei Xiao said solemnly.

"Please rest assured, my lord, the subordinates will definitely go all out!"

The subordinates of the magic department touched their chests and saluted one after another, saying in unison.

As for the other two maids from the physics department and the two chefs from the physics department, they rotate in pairs, alternately controlling the defense methods of the Tower of Illusion.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, waved his hand to signal Ariel to go with him, and continued pacing in the territory.

Under the quiet moonlit night, although there were many people in the territory, it was silent. Even the footsteps of Lei Xiao and Ariel could clearly echo in their ears.

"If it was in the previous life, being able to walk side by side with a real princess like this is undoubtedly something I would never dare to dream of."

Looking at Ariel's fair side face beside him, Lei Xiao couldn't help but smile, and thought in his heart: "Now, although I have achieved this point easily, what I need to face next is a **** battle." The experience of fire."

Just when Lei Xiao sighed secretly.

As if noticing Lei Xiao's gaze, Ariel turned her head sideways, and while stroking a strand of black hair on her forehead behind her ear, she blinked her starry eyes and said, "My lord, the territory is really quite quiet. Feeling flustered ~ Its like the calm before the storm.

"How? Are you afraid?"

Lei Xiao looked at Princess Leng Yan, who was close at hand, and said with a faint smile.

"As long as you can follow the lord's side, your subordinates will have no hesitation and will not be afraid of anything."

Ariel didn't hesitate, and said with a serious face.

But immediately, she seemed to feel that there was some ambiguity in her words, and she immediately blushed, and lowered her head involuntarily.

"If this war can go through smoothly, when everything in the territory gradually stabilizes, maybe I should also consider my own affairs."

Looking at Ariel's delicate cheeks like red apples, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows.

Lei Xiao just thought of this.

The sound of prompting to read quickly rang in my ears.
