Chapter 474: Ariel's request
"Leng Yan's Fifth Princess Ariel?!"
At this moment, looking at the captain of the soldiers who had lost all life on the ground, the other soldiers of the Holy Night Army, with swordsmen in front and archers behind, immediately began to line up densely.
The captain of the soldier who died was at the peak level of the second order, and the one who could kill him with one blow would obviously not be a kind person.
"The strength of this little girl should be between the third-tier senior powerhouse and the third-tier peak powerhouse."
Realizing this, a strong murderous aura suddenly erupted from these Holy Night Army soldiers.
However, among the more than 50 soldiers, the first-order level and the second-level level account for half, and there is also a third-level senior strongman hidden among them.
Therefore, facing Ariel, who is currently only showing up alone, she doesn't have much fear.
"You said you were Leng Yan's fifth princess?"
After looking up and down at Ariel's exquisite body, the third-rank Holy Night powerhouse in heavy armor first showed a wretched smile of interest.
Immediately, he signaled to the soldiers on the left and right, and slowly approached Ariel, while squinting his eyes, he tentatively said: "Don't make fun of me, members of Leng Yan's royal family, why would you risk yourself here?"
"Yes, yes, where did such a desperate little girl come from, she is looking for a dead end!"
"Do you think that you can be unscrupulous because you are a Tier 3 powerhouse? Around us, there are more than a dozen Tier 3 powerhouses who have experienced many battles!"
"That's right, there are still several heroic generals at the fourth level, sitting at the forefront, and they may arrive at any time!"
"Look carefully, the beauty is pretty good, how about joining our holy night army? We will definitely treat you well, hehehe..."
Immediately afterwards, the sneering echoes of other soldiers also rang out one after another.
"You **** don't even let go of a pair of unarmed teenagers."
On the other side, Ariel, who was already extremely angry, naturally wouldn't get entangled with the other party, her black eyebrows were tightly knit, and her slender green fingers were pointing in the air one after another.
In the next second, more than ten sharp arrows of light quickly formed in front of her.
Accompanied by the sound of "whoosh whoosh" piercing through the air, a group of arrows were directly on the string, and all the archers of the Holy Night Army hidden in the jungle on the other side were shot to the ground.
"Sure enough, it's light attribute attack magic..."
Seeing this, the face of the third-rank powerhouse of Holy Night began to become more and more gloomy.
While turning his cloudy eyes, he muttered to himself: "From the perspective of spellcasting speed and attack ability, it's obvious that Priest Shengguang can't cast it. From this point of view, is it a light magician?"
"My lord, light magicians are extremely rare, and this guy has the iconic curly hair of the Lengyan royal family, plus the self-reported family just now, it doesn't seem to be just a coincidence..."
At this time, the skinny soldier from just now leaned forward, rolling his cunning eyes while whispering softly.
"So, this person might really be Princess Lengyan? How could she show up here? It's just unbelievable..."
Nodding thoughtfully, the gloomy face of the third-rank powerhouse of Sheng Ye suddenly showed a look of joy again.
Without a doubt, although I don't know why this Princess Leng Yan appeared here.
However, if he can be captured alive, or simply drag the corpse back, it will obviously be a great achievement!
Thinking of this, he once again looked up and down Ariel's slender body with malicious eyes.
At the same time, the other soldiers around also aimed their sharp blades at Ariel one after another, with distorted evil smiles on their hostile faces.
However, just when this third-rank powerhouse of Holy Night, who was getting closer to Ariel, was about to start giving orders.
A sudden sharp white light flashed.
This holy night's third-tier powerhouse, together with the heavy armor on his body and the thin soldier next to him, was chopped into two pieces.
Amid blood-red splatters, in front of the corpses of the two, a burly figure holding a huge sword stood proudly, which was naturally the knotweed.
At the same time, the other Holy Night Army soldiers who were about to attack Ariel either covered their blood-stained necks, or their chests were pierced by sharp blades, and fell to the ground one after another.
Beside them, one by one subordinate figures exuding a powerful aura emerged immediately.
It is worth mentioning that, in order to avoid damage to the thin and precious invisibility cloak, all the subordinates have put it into their storage rings while launching the attack.
In this way, in the face of more than a dozen strong men whose strength is at least at the peak of the third level, these soldiers of the Holy Night Army are naturally vulnerable.
In just a moment, it was completely wiped out, and there was no time to give the other party an alarm.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
Currently, there are still more than 2,000 Holy Night Army soldiers scattered around.
And, according to the further perception of the knotweed just now.
In the open area not far away, there are at least tens of thousands of auras, which should be the forward barracks of the Holy Night Army.
Therefore, there is no need for our side to waste too much time with these miscellaneous fish here.
If there are more soldiers around, the situation will undoubtedly be a little troublesome.
It is true that although these small groups of soldiers operating in small groups or squadrons, it is impossible to pose any threat to their own side.
But once the enemy gathers on a large scale, especially after forming a dense battle formation, they will be able to display their combat capabilities far beyond those of individuals.
Coupled with the strong enemies distributed among them, the fierce battle will not only increase the threat in a straight line, but also consume a lot of energy and magic power of one's own subordinates.
Even though Lei Xiao has some potions that can speed up the recovery of mana and replenish energy on his body.
But after all, they are only at the second-order level, and the effect they can play on the subordinates whose strength is above the peak of the third-order is undoubtedly extremely limited.
What's more, our side doesn't have a deep understanding of the current strength composition and number of strong members of the Holy Night Army.
Therefore, judging from the current situation.
It is obviously not the wisest choice to directly confront a large number of troops with a small number of strong people, and there is no need for this at all.
On the other side, after Ariel cast a grateful look at Lei Xiao.
Just took a step, and quickly came to the pair of teenagers and girls who were stunned by the **** scene in front of them, and touched their heads respectively to express comfort.
Immediately afterwards, without waiting for the two to speak, Ariel immediately nodded to Bert and Jubai who were beside her.
In the next second, Bert and Jubai each picked up one, and quickly left the edge of the cliff together with everyone on their side.
In this way, accompanied by another gust of wind and lightning.
In a quiet forest under the mountain, everyone on our side stopped again.
"Big sister, are you really our Princess Lengyan's Highness?"
At this time, the young man who had calmed down a little, asked Ariel with bright eyes after Bert put him down.
valley
On the other side, the girl with a dirty face also came closer, her big eyes flickering, and she looked at Ariel expectantly.
"That's right, just like what your mother said, I'm here to save you."
Ariel's fair face suddenly burst into a bright smile, and she nodded in response.
"Great! Her Royal Highness is indeed our protector!"
Hearing this, the pair of ragged boys and girls jumped up excitedly, with uncontrollable smiles on their faces.
"When I grow up, I want to become a heroic knight who protects Her Highness the Princess!"
"When I grow up, I want to become a battle maid serving Her Highness the Princess!"
For a while, the two were scrambling to speak first.
At this moment, looking at the innocent and dirty little faces of the two, Ariel was full of thoughts in her heart.
With her current ability, what she can do is undoubtedly limited to this.
However, in the face of a huge and brutal war, this is not even a drop in the bucket.
Thinking that there are still countless residents who are like the pair of boys and girls in front of Leng Yanxiang, who are being ravaged by the flames of war, Ariel couldn't help but clenched her fists tightly again.
"Instead of secretly hurting yourself there, it's better to figure out how to make yourself stronger."
Keenly aware of Ariel's emotional changes, Lei Xiao said calmly: "There is only one way to deal with the enemy's sharp blade, and that is to use a harder blade to fight back. Cowardice will only make the enemy more unscrupulous, that's all. "
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, the subordinates of his side who were scattered around all nodded in unison.
"This big brother seems to be more powerful than Her Royal Highness!"
Immediately, a thin girl came forward, stared at Lei Xiao with admiration and said, "Big Brother, are you our Prince?"
"Don't talk nonsense, the one who is more powerful than Her Majesty the Princess is naturally Her Majesty the King!"
On the other side, the same disheveled young man came over and said.
"But, I heard that our Majesty the King is already very old."
Hearing this, the girl grabbed her withered braids and said with a puzzled expression, "How could big brother be our king?"
Hearing this, Ariel frowned, and just wanted to correct the naive words of the two of them, but she had another thought.
At present, the only one who is with her and is willing to risk herself to come to this chaotic border area is this annoying guy in front of her.
Leaving aside her seriously ill father, based on this alone, this annoying guy in front of her is indeed more noble than her brothers who wanted their own lives and did not hesitate to turn the capital into a battlefield. grade.
Realizing this, Ariel couldn't help but sighed softly, and then gave Lei Xiao a complex look of gratitude and helplessness.
"My lord, judging from the aura, the Holy Night Army has already discovered those soldiers who were killed."
At this time, the rough voice of the knotweed rang in Lei Xiao's ears, and he told: "At present, the other party has accelerated the search speed, and is heading towards the area where we are."
Speaking of this, the knotweed pointed to a mountain not far away, and continued: "At the same time, there are still a large number of Holy Night Army soldiers gathering in that direction."
"That direction?!"
Hearing this, the thin girl's expression suddenly became panicked, and she blurted out: "That's where everyone in the town hides!"
"What?"
On the other side, Ariel's expression also became tense, and she said immediately: "You mean there are still residents of my Lengyan there? How many people are there?"
"There are about seventy or eighty people..."
Seeing the boy with a sallow complexion, he swallowed uncomfortably and continued to add.
Next, through the boy's description, Lei Xiao learned about it.
It turned out that they were the residents of the small town built on the mountain just now.
Just like the information obtained by our own side, when the Lengyan army retreated in a hurry, they did not leave in time, and they did not even get any news.
Until one night, when the vanguard of the holy night army, holding torches and sharp knives, was already close at hand.
The residents of the small town who woke up from their dreams realized the seriousness of the situation.
In the end, facing the small vanguard of the Holy Night Army, under the desperate resistance of only the young and middle-aged in the town, the other old and weak women and children managed to escape to the cave in the mountain by luck.
After all, the pair of thin young girls who had started to sob, knelt down in front of Ariel and Lei Xiao, and begged: "His Royal Highness, big brother, please save our family and the town. people!"
"So, are the people facing the Holy Night Army this time only old, weak, women and children?"
Lowering her body to lift up the two thin bodies in front of her, Ariel's fair face became dull again.
At this moment, she could already vaguely perceive it.
The Holy Night Army that was moving there was at least on the scale of a thousand-man brigade.
Moreover, there are many established second-tier elite squadrons and several third-tier powerhouses.
Therefore, it is undoubtedly almost impossible to successfully rescue so many people with the strength of her and the two generals of the kingdom.
And judging from the cruel performance of the soldiers of the Holy Night Army just now, the fate of these old and weak women and children is naturally self-evident.
Realizing this, Ariel looked at Lei Xiao who was beside her again, with a hesitant expression of wanting to ask but not knowing how to speak.
After all, the annoying guy in front of him has nothing to do with these residents, and he is not even from this world, so there is no need to take this risk.
"My dear fifth princess, do you want me to help you?"
Once again keenly aware of the subtle expressions on Ariel's delicate face, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Lei Xiao naturally knows the other party's careful thoughts like the palm of his hand.
It is true that ~www.mtlnovel.com~ our side really does not need to do this.
Under such circumstances, Lei Xiao would not easily let himself and the subordinates around him fall into possible difficulties, even if it was only a tiny bit.
However, if this cold fifth princess can realize from the bottom of her heart how powerful and indispensable her side is, it will undoubtedly play a decisive role in promoting the final subjugation.
This point is crucial to the future layout of one's own side and to expanding the living space.
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
On the other side, although Ariel was a bit embarrassed to speak, she nodded quickly when she heard Lei Xiao's initiative, showing a slightly begging expression.
As Leng Yan's fifth princess, there is only so much she can do so far.
At this moment, looking at Ariel, who looked expectant, and a pair of thin boys and girls in front of him, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "If that's the case, then let's go."
