Chapter 775: Dilemma
Chapter 776
"Turn the glimmer of light into a catalyst for the glory of victory?"
Ariel's fair face was full of urgency, she leaned forward slightly, and hurriedly asked, "Master, what is that?"
Accompanied by Ariel's question, the other subordinates all showed expressions of curiosity.
"It's very simple, that is the hard work of each of us."
Lei Xiao's answer was understated, but revealed a firm determination: "Before the huge opponent comes to the city, we must make all preparations, try our best to make ourselves stronger, and try our best to make this land more solid."
"In a book handed down from generation to generation in my hometown, there is such a sentence, which is called "Tao comes from heaven, and everything depends on people. What people learn, everything is divine." Simply put, it means that everything depends on human effort. "
Lei Xiao's eyes were piercing, and while scanning every subordinate present, he continued: "Since the great war is inevitable, each of us will be an important part in determining the success or failure of this battle, as long as we don't Fall down, and the flag of the territory will fly high in the wind!"
"The subordinates are willing to go through fire and water for the lord!"
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, all the subordinates were already excited and said in unison.
"Next, let's plan specific countermeasures."
Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction, first turned to Commander Orr of Star City, and asked, "How long will it take for the opponent's 300,000 army to arrive at the city?"
"Lord Lord, the 10 legions that you retreated from the empty city have temporarily retreated to the nearest city within the sphere of influence of the first prince and the second prince. It is about a day's march away from here."
Auer stroked his chest and saluted, and responded solemnly: "The subsequent 20 legions did not adopt a rapid march, but marched at a normal speed after gathering, and it will take about 7 days."
"Didn't take a quick march, but marched at a normal speed?"
Ariel's fair face was full of puzzlement, she frowned and thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "I know! The reason why the other party did this is to give us time to let us not fight. In this way, It will undoubtedly be easier to win."
"That's right, the response this time was quick."
Lei Xiao touched Ariel's head casually, and said with a faint smile, "I'm afraid the other party never expected that we solved the grievances of the new citizens so quickly, right?"
"It's still thanks to Lord Lord's precautions, otherwise there is really no way to recover."
Ariel smiled obediently, and said sincerely: "Now, the two brothers under my command are about to throw a fit of rage again."
"His Royal Highness is right, but after the other party realizes that our side has stabilized, I'm afraid they will speed up their progress."
Auer nodded thoughtfully, then bowed to Lei Xiao and said, "From this, this subordinate infers that the time when the opponent actually comes to the city may be about 2 days earlier than expected."
"That is to say, there are still 5 days? The time left for us to prepare is indeed very limited."
While rubbing his chin lightly, Lei Xiao said to the female knight on the other side of the conversation: "Lin, how is the situation with the troops returning home?"
"Master Lord, according to the scheduled plan, we have already set off in batches this morning."
Lin's clean and rustling voice rang out immediately: "My lord, since the knights you canonized have already rushed to the manors in various regions to preside over the work, so the subordinates have arranged knights with the same destination. Parallel with the soldiers who surrendered, not only enough travel expenses were distributed, but all were equipped with carriages or fast horses."
"You did a great job Lynn."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, satisfied: "Only by letting these surrendered soldiers return home as quickly as possible, can they be transformed into our forces as quickly as possible."Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
Speaking of this, Lei Xiao also ordered: "Every place must do a good job in reception, and welcome these surrendered soldiers according to the triumphant etiquette. They will become one of our members in the future and fight for us. They should be respected enough."
"Obey! Your lord!"
The uniform response from all the subordinates came immediately.
The overall strength of the Holy Night Kingdom is completely comparable to that of the entire Lengyan, but at present, it is already extremely difficult for us to deal with the princes who control most of Lengyan.
If at this time of life and death, the Holy Night Army stabs him in the back again, it will really be the end of the game.
"Regarding the dynamics of the Holy Night Kingdom, we must closely monitor it, and then gather the information to the secret agent stronghold directly under the territory. There must be no negligence..."
Lei Xiao had just said this with his subordinates, and the urgent reminder to read the words rang in his ears.
Open the reading interface, Lei Xiao found out.
The person who asked for a call was Dean, the commander of the Shadow Squadron who did not attend the meeting.
Not long ago, after taking all Lengyan East into his pocket, in order to prevent any changes in the Holy Night Army, Lei Xiao immediately dispatched Dean to lead some elite members of the Shadow Squadron to the Holy Night Kingdom in secret.
And Dean, who was in the Holy Night Kingdom, sent a contact at this time, and the result was self-evident.
"It seems that the thing I don't want to see the most has happened."
Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath of the chilly air, brought Dean into the meeting, and turned on the audio playback.
Hearing Dean's hurried voice mixed with a little nervousness, it immediately resounded through the entire conference hall: "My lord, my subordinates just got the news that the Holy Night Kingdom's Moon Palace Saintess herself, and the four moons under her command The 250,000 Holy Night Army led by the Holy General is rapidly approaching the mountain fortress!"
Speaking of this, Dean added: "As for the opponent's goal, my subordinates have already found out clearly, that is to take the mountain fortress directly, and then invade our territory in a big way!"
As soon as Dean said this, there was a commotion among the subordinates surrounding Lei Xiao.
Although everyone maintained utmost restraint on the surface and did not show a trace of panic, an atmosphere of uneasiness still quietly rippled in the air.
The strength of the Saintess of the Moon Palace is at the fifth level enough to control the country, and she can even compete with Mr. Wu, and the strength of each of the Saints of the Moon Palace is completely comparable to the generals of the kingdom.
The most important thing is that there are still 25 legions of the Holy Night Army.
Regardless of other things, the armies directly under the Moon Palace led by the four Moon Palace Saint Generals alone are strong enough to compete with any royal army!
Therefore, judging from the overall strength alone, the Holy Night Army of 250,000 is obviously more difficult to deal with than the 300,000 combined army of the two princes!
And we already need to do our best to deal with the coalition forces of the two princes, how can we have room to deal with the stronger Holy Night army?
"...Is that really the case?"
Lei Xiao was silent for a long time, and then he frowned and asked, "How much time does the other party have to reach the mountain fortress?"
"Return to the lord, the Holy Night Army is marching in a hurry. Although the assembly point is not in the border area, it only takes five days at most to reach the fortress of the mountain fortress!"
Dean tried his best to restrain his nervousness, and immediately responded: "The opponent's vanguard is already less than three days away from the mountain fortress!"
"In other words, will the coalition forces of the two princes and Holy Night's army, with a total strength of 55 legions, appear to our east and west at almost the same time?"
Lei Xiao clenched his fists, and his brain began to work rapidly.
Before ~ the reason why I was able to win two times with less and more in the battle for the mountain fortress and the cold flame east was that the opponent didn't understand my true strength, so that I was defeated I was caught off guard.
But this time, whether it was the two princes' army or the holy night army, their targets were all directed at themselves.
This undoubtedly shows that the two have already known their overall strength, and have prepared corresponding countermeasures, and the attack must be a killer move.
Under such circumstances, with his current strength, if he divides his forces to resist the two armies, no matter which route, there is absolutely no possibility of winning. Once a city is destroyed, everything will naturally be irreversible.
"In other words, the only way I can deal with it now is to find a way to suspend the attack of one army, and then deal with the other army with all my strength, so as to have a chance of survival."
Lei Xiao's hands were already covered with sweat, and his brows were furrowed even more tightly: "But no matter which opponent it is, how could it possibly give me such a chance?"
Just as Lei Xiao, who was in a dilemma, was thinking hard, a slender and slender figure stood in front of him.
