Chapter 480: Murderous intent emerges in the conference hall
"Then it's all up to you."
Nodding silently, Ariel frowned slightly for a moment, then confirmed to Lei Xiao: "Do you really want to keep this fifth-level powerhouse by my side?"
"Naturally it is true."
Looking at Ariel's exquisite face, there was a trace of expression never seen before, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said: "What? Could it be that my dear Fifth Princess, are you worried about me?"
"No, you don't want to be sentimental."
Somewhat at a loss, Ariel waved her hand, and quickly said: "I'm just afraid that I will lose a few powerful helpers!"
After finishing speaking, Ariel added in a low voice: "After all, I feel more at ease with you by my side."
"Okay, let's get down to business. Just like what I said just now, the other party will definitely use the name of reporting the battle situation to divide the six of us into three or three groups, and then defeat them one by one."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao then continued to Ariel: "We are mercenaries in name, and the other party naturally doesn't talk too much, so the task of extracting useful information from the other party is left to is you."
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
Hearing this, Ariel nodded, and said seriously: "As the general of the Lengyan Kingdom, but colluding with the Holy Night Army in an attempt to overthrow this fortress, no matter who is behind the scenes, I will never let him go of!"
Hearing this, Bert and Jubai next to him also nodded solemnly.
It is conceivable that if this mountain fortress, in the case of cooperation from the inside and the outside, is breached by the Holy Night Army at a minimum cost.
Then, the other cities behind the fortress will definitely be devastated, and it will also seriously affect the layout of the Lord Lord's control of the entire eastern area of Lengyan.
Therefore, no matter what today, we must completely erase this dangerous undercurrent hidden in the fortress!
"Very well, let's see how my dear Fifth Princess will perform."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao put the tea set on the table back into the space bracelet, and nodded to the knotweed.
On the other side, the knotweed understood, and immediately put on the cloak and disappeared in front of everyone.
At the same time, the powerful aura attached to the wall of the living room also quietly dissipated together.
In this way, it didn't take long, the door of the reception room was pushed open again, and Ao Gu walked in with several commanders of the Lengyan Army.
"Meet Her Majesty the Princess."
After saluting to Ariel, Ao Gu still had that smiling expression on his face, and said: "The matter of reporting the military situation is ready, please move to the meeting hall of the castle with the princess and the two generals."
Having said that, Ao Gu glanced at the three Lei Xiao not far away, and added: "As for these three mercenary friends, please wait a while, after all, the next matter needs to involve my Leng Yan The core secrets of the kingdom."
"Understandable."
Seeing that everything was as expected, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and sat back on the original seats with Ye Cang and Chaoyan beside him.
"Just lead the way in front of you."
On the other side, Ariel nodded slightly, with a calm expression.
Undoubtedly, with Lei Xiao's analysis and deduction and the tiger stick who is a powerhouse of the fifth rank, this Leng Yan's fifth princess is already full of confidence.
Of course, in Aogu's view, this proud princess has always looked the same.
However, what he didn't know was that before, Ariel was because of ignorance, but now, it was because of fearlessness.
Next, after taking a look at Lei Xiao who was also calm and composed, Ariel followed Ao Gu and the others and left the living room surrounded by Burt and Ju Bai.
At this moment, while Ariel was walking in the spacious corridor of the castle, her expression became a little puzzled again.
It's hard for people to understand that that annoying guy from another world would deploy the strongest combat power enough to conquer the country by his side.
"But having said that, since my father was seriously ill, this is the first time someone has cared so much about my safety..."
Thinking of this, Ariel quickly shook her head secretly, and murmured in her heart: "No, this guy must have other plans, otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a move!"
Realizing this, Ariel frowned slightly for a moment, and then relaxed her brows again.
I saw her first sighed softly, and then said to herself: "But, although I don't want to admit it, I am just a down and out princess with no power or power. Let him look at the object?"
At this moment, Ariel swallowed involuntarily when she thought of the five-tier national subduing weapons worn by the knotweed, Nanxing, Nanyue, Chaoyan, and Lei Xiao himself.
It has to be said that just on this point alone, this incredible lord of another world is simply unfathomable.
After all, even if you look at the entire Lengyan royal family, there are only the sword of the ancestor King Hero, and the lance of Perrin, the leader of the Earth Dragon Knights who lived in the same era as the ancestor, and two fifth-level magic weapons!
"Since the era of the ancestor King of Heroes came to an end, there has never been a fifth-level forging master born in the Cold Flame Kingdom and the adjacent Holy Night Kingdom."
"No one has the ability to forge it. This is the main reason why the fifth-tier divine weapon is scarce, apart from the extremely rare raw materials and limited forging efficiency."
Sighing again, Ariel continued to think: "Looking back at history, even Leng Yan's ancestors spent huge sums of money to buy fifth-tier magic weapons more than once, but they got nothing after all."
Thinking of this, Ariel shook her head helplessly.
This is no wonder, after all, the magic weapon of the fifth level will greatly enhance the strength of the user, and it can hardly be measured by money.
And no country is willing to sell this level of magic weapon to other potential opponents, because no one will know whether the opponent will swing the blade of the magic weapon at itself one day.
"Even my Lengyan royal family has been unable to obtain the magic weapon for hundreds of years. How did that guy get so many? It's simply unimaginable."
Realizing this, Ariel, who was full of question marks, lifted her spirits, and shifted her attention to Ao Gu in front of her again.
"Don't think about that guy for now. The most urgent thing is to find out who is behind the scenes and keep this mountain fortress... But, that guy sent a fifth-level powerhouse to me. If there is danger, how will that guy protect himself? ?
Just when Ariel was distracted, under the guidance of Ao Gu, they had already arrived at the door of a spacious and bright meeting hall.
"Your Highness, please come inside."
Bowing slightly to Ariel, Aogu said with a smile.
Next, he went straight into the meeting hall, and Ariel noticed.
The area here is extremely spacious, even divided into upper and lower floors, just like a small theater.
And in the most conspicuous position in the center of the hall, there is a huge sand table.
If you observe carefully, you can see that there are three-dimensional topography and landforms depicted in detail on it, and there are many pocket soldiers of two different colors, red and blue.
Seeing this, Ariel nodded slightly.
She has received a complete royal education since she was a child, and she is no stranger to this kind of military sand table. What is shown above is the current distribution of the enemy and the enemy in the border area.
On the other side, looking at Ariel's thoughtful expression, Aogu obviously didn't intend to report the battle situation immediately, but clapped his hands lightly.
Immediately afterwards, surrounded by two groups of soldiers, a group of servants walked in with steaming meals and dining tables and chairs.
"Her Royal Highness, the two generals of the Kingdom have worked hard all the way. It is past noon now, and the three haven't eaten yet, right?"
After the tables and chairs were set up, Aogu smiled slightly and said, "Why don't you fill your stomach first and then get down to business?"
"I didn't expect Vice General Ao Gu to be so thoughtful."
Hearing this, Ariel raised her eyebrows slightly, sat down at the dining table without hesitation, and then continued to Ao Gu: "I wonder if General Ao Gu has already eaten?"
"His Royal Highness, before your arrival, the villain has been supervising the defense in the fortress, and did not take care of the meal."
On the other side, Aogu still maintained a smile on his face, and responded immediately.
"Vice-general Aogu manages a lot of things every day, it's really hard work."
I saw Ariel spread the white napkin in front of her, and said casually: "We are guests here, and you are the host. If that's the case, then please invite Vice General Aogu to dine with us."
Hearing this, Aogu couldn't help being taken aback, and quickly waved his hands and said: "The villain is just a martial artist, even if he sits with the princess?"
"There is such a thing in my Leng Yan's royal motto, that is, the warriors who loyally protect Leng Yan, regardless of title or origin, are qualified to sit with members of the royal family."
Looking directly at Ao Gu's cloudy eyes, Ariel said indifferently: "This is true for ordinary soldiers, let alone you, Ao Gu's deputy general who is currently in charge of the three fortresses?"
Having said that, Ariel looked indifferent, and added: "Therefore, there is naturally no problem with Vice General Aogu sitting here."
"His Royal Highness is serious, but the villain still doesn't dare."
On the other side, Aogu waved his hand again and refused: "These are what a villain should do, it's nothing to worry about."
"Vice General Aogu, Her Royal Highness has repeatedly invited you, why do you keep declining?"
I saw Burt standing behind Ariel, and then said in a deep voice: "Is it because you have a ghost in your heart that you can't bear the words "guard the cold flame", or is the food on this table tricky? "
After finishing speaking, Bert's old voice became a little lower, and he continued to ask, "Or is it both?"
"Master Great Axe, what are you talking about... This kind of joke is not for fun."
Hearing this, Ao Gu smiled awkwardly, trying to confuse the public.
However, the laughter stopped abruptly when he noticed the sharp eyes cast by Ariel, Bert, and Jubai.
Immediately afterwards, the expression on Aogu's face quickly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "It seems that you have already seen some clues, so there is no need for me to act out this smiling face in front of you. "
Speaking of this, Aogu, who had a stern face and a completely different expression from before, walked to the dining table calmly and casually overturned a plate of delicate pastries.
In the next second, accompanied by the crisp sound of the plate breaking, the fragments splashed, and the delicate pastry scattered on the ground, followed by a thick black mist.
"I originally planned to let you all be captured comfortably...Since you want to resist, then no wonder this general is so cruel!"
After finishing speaking, a two-handed sword flashing with cold light flashed out from Aogu's big hand.
Behind him, the three commanders of the Lengyan Army whose strength was at the peak level of Tier 3 also pulled out the long swords around their waists one after another, sneered and made ready-to-go attacks.
At the same time, the door of the meeting hall was suddenly closed, and a large number of powerful auras that had previously been hidden in the hidden barrier began to be revealed without reservation.
In a short while, the second floor of the conference hall was full of black-clothed crossbowmen exuding an imposing manner, with sharp arrows flashing, condescendingly aiming at the three of Ariel.
Judging from the breath, the aura of these men in black is obviously above the level of the second-order senior powerhouse, and the number of them is as large as two squadrons.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became extremely tense.
There is no doubt that Aogu himself, who is a Tier 4 powerhouse, the three Tier 3 peak powerhouses, plus the two teams upstairs, each team is strong enough to compete against the elite spy squadron of a Tier 4 senior powerhouse.
This kind of strength has obviously far surpassed the three Ariel who are clearly on the bright side.
"Have you really given yourself away? Aogu, you are a liar!"
Seeing this, Ariel's expression froze. First, Bert and Jubai next to her pulled out their respective weapons, and then asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"These black-clothed soldiers are all elite spies sent by the Holy Night Kingdom, and each of them has mastered fierce assassination skills. Therefore, this general did not completely lie."
With a grinning smile, Aogu Youyou, holding a huge sword, said: "As for what this general is going to do, the answer is very obvious."
After finishing speaking, Ao Gu swung the huge sword in his hand, and said solemnly: "Naturally, it is to capture you, Leng Yan's fifth princess, and hand it over to Sheng Ye."
At this time ~ the smile on Aogu's face became stronger, and he said ferociously again: "Of course, if you insist on resisting, sending your corpses there is also considered a great achievement."
Speaking of this, Ao Gu smiled coldly at Ariel, and continued to say leisurely: "Originally, the general's purpose was to assist the Holy Night Army in capturing these three fortresses, but I didn't expect you to come here yourself! "
"It's really exactly what that guy deduced."
Realizing this in her heart, Ariel clenched the staff in her hand and said solemnly: "So, you are the mastermind behind the Holy Night?"
"I didn't expect Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess to be smarter than the Lengyan vase that was compared in the rumors."
On the other side, Aogu did not hide his determined look, and immediately responded: "That's right, that's exactly it!"
"How is old general Bai doing now?"
Immediately afterwards, Ariel asked again without hesitation.
