Chapter 639 Prelude to War
"Just like what I thought just now, it will be another brand new attempt for me to use the power of Qin Qian and others who are also lords of other worlds."
"Thus, even if a captured city is handed over to the other party for management, I will inevitably send capable direct subordinates under my command to also go to that city and the other party's territory to supervise separately."
"And this city, as part of my previous vision, can also recruit talents from nearby lords, build a research force of lord scientists, and even an intelligence analysis force, and provide shelter for these lords."
"After all, through the chat channel, there are almost no obstacles in the communication between lords. This is much more convenient than ordinary spies."
Feeling the softness of the monster feather mattress, Lei Xiao felt relaxed, and nodded thoughtfully.
"By the way, I have been busy since I came back tonight, and I don't know how the moat is draining. Let's go and have a look tomorrow morning."
"In addition, the equipment of the two princess guards under Ariel's command has not yet been upgraded. In the warehouse of the territory, there are still some equipment that have not been upgraded after the previous change. Let's upgrade them all tomorrow."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, the reminder to read the words suddenly sounded.
After connecting, the excited voice of the mercenary captain Randall came over immediately: "I'm sorry, my lord, for disturbing you at such a late hour!"
"It's okay." Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and responded, "How is it? Walter, Phil, and Swell, the three magic masters, must be surprised to see you, right?"
"My lord, you can't imagine the spectacular scene of three old fellows who are hundreds of years old pulling each other's robes and rushing forward together, crying and crying."
As he spoke, Randall's brisk voice was filled with uncontrollable gratitude: "This subordinate is very grateful to the lord once again! If there is no help from the lord, I am afraid that this subordinate can only live in In that endless passage, I was accompanied by loneliness and darkness."
"I didn't do anything. I can bring some delicious food to Hongye who has opened up the endless channel later. That guy will be very happy."
Still maintaining a smile, Lei Xiao replied.
"The lord was joking. At that time, the gourmet lunch box brought by the lord, the refreshing delicacy, the subordinates will remember it for life!"
Randall's hearty laughter sounded.
After a pause, Randall coughed lightly, and reported again: "My lord, my subordinates have issued an assembly order, and the other mercenaries of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Group in the nearby area will also rush to the mountain fortress to stand by soon. , waiting for further instructions from the lord!"
"Very good, pay close attention to all the movements around, including Bai Lao's fortress army, the war is close at hand."
Lei Xiao looked serious, and said through words: "In addition, be ready to attack at any time. Once the power of the eldest prince closest to the mountain fortress changes, the dragon tooth mercenary group will become one of the most important core forces in the territory."
"Obey! Please rest assured, my lord!"
On the other side of the conversation, Randall's firm voice came over immediately: "This subordinate will definitely lead the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Group to go all out and become a sharp sword wielded by the lord!"
"Okay, let's go to bed early."
After instructing Randall a few more words, Lei Xiao turned off the reading.
When everything became quiet again, Lei Xiao, who was slumped on the bed, looked at the ceiling of the bedroom, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought again.
"Among the other two legions stationed in the Shanbao Fortress, there are also 7,000 garrison troops in Kongqing Town, Mailan Town, Magnet Town, Lan Leng Fort, Songlin City, Fanyin City, and Luolong City. Part of the power should not be underestimated, as for the rest, it is the power of the other two princes."
"These garrison teams conscripted from various places are currently led by Bai Lao, and they are distributed in two fortresses around the mountain fortress. If they want to return to the territory of Lengyan, they must pass through the mountain fortress guarded by the fortress army."
"At this point, the situation is very obvious. Ariel and I have the grace to rebuild the old man. At that time, we only need to tell him to put in the power loyal to me. As for other powers, they are all blocked in the mountain castle. Outside the fort."
"As for the power of the first prince who is close to the fortress of the mountain, no matter how crazy it is, it is impossible to directly attack this cold country. Regardless of other things, the power of the second prince alone has been waiting for an opportunity to show its flaws. "
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao continued to think as he removed the shining light spar from the bedside table, making the room dark.
"This matter is very important. Let's simply go to the Shanbao Fortress tomorrow. Be sure to explain this matter to Bai Lao face to face."
"Speaking of which, in the situation where the flames of war may spread at any time, how will the First Prince's faction and the Second Prince's faction behave? It really makes people curious..."
"But what is certain is that no matter which side it is, it is very likely to point the finger at Ariel and Kongqing Town first. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Kongqing Town is just a corner with only 3,000 garrison troops. ..."
Thinking about it, Lei Xiao felt that his eyelids were filled with lead, and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, before the sun started to rise, Lei Xiao woke up.
After the routine training was finished, Lei Xiao, who was in high spirits, pulled back the curtains, opened the metal window, looked out at the hazy mist, and took a deep breath of fresh air.
Looking past the towering city walls and soldiers standing guard, looking away, you can see patches of emerald green.
The forest in the early morning is always a scene of water vapor, and everything looks so vibrant.
Feeling this quite refreshing scene, Lei Xiao murmured in his heart: "My own strength has already reached the peak level of the third-order dual material for a few days, and then I just wait for the fourth-order potion to be promoted. gone."
Slowly retracting his gaze, Lei Xiao walked towards the bathroom.
It didn't take long for Lei Xiao, feeling refreshed, to walk out of the lord's suite.
I went straight to the lord's office. After receiving five second-level recruitment orders and a city return crystal, I contacted Su Rusumo and other lords, and performed some upgrade and decomposition operations.
Lei Xiao easily obtained 12,000 units of copper ingots, and a corresponding amount of copper ore and wood.
"Has the number of copper ingots reached 24,900 units? There are still some left over from the 30,000 units required for the upgrade, so let's continue to produce copper ingots for another day."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao traded all the corresponding manufacturing materials to Su Ru, Su Mo and others.
Just when Lei Xiao had just finished handling all this.
The sound of prompting to read words suddenly rang in my ears.
While being puzzled, Lei Xiao noticed.
This time, the frequency of the chanting prompt is obviously much faster than before.
This undoubtedly means that more than one subordinate has activated this special skill that has been deeply engraved in his mind when signing the contract.
Without hesitation, connect immediately.
Immediately, the voices of the two Shadow Squadron commanders, Dean and Fran, came over almost simultaneously: "Good morning, my lord!"
Hearing each other's voices, the two of them were obviously stunned for a while, and then they said in unison again: "My lord, there is an urgent military situation!"
"Don't worry, speak slowly."
Sensing the urgency in their words, Lei Xiao responded calmly.
"My lord, the strength of the Second Prince's faction in this area, which is closely monitored by the subordinate squadron, and the cities centered on Tiegebao, without exception, all suddenly carried out large-scale military mobilization!"
Only Flan Linlin's crisp voice rang out first.
"My lord, the faction of the eldest prince under the close surveillance of the subordinate squadron, and the various cities headed by Songluo City, are also gathering large-scale troops and are ready for war!"
Dean's solemn voice followed closely behind.
"Is it really about to start..."
Hearing the expected report, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and while walking towards the outside of the lord's office, he asked, "Besides, are there any other clues about the reason or goal of the two forces gathering their troops?"
"My lord, all the actions of the opponent have been carried out almost impeccably. Even the commanders have already lived in the heavily guarded barracks or the city lord's mansion that is like a fortified wall, and there is no way to obtain further information."
Dean responded with some helplessness, and then rang out: "The subordinates tried their best, including disguise, infiltration and infiltration, but they all had little effect. After all, the city lord's mansion and the core area of the barracks have perfect facilities. The detection circle makes it impossible for people to get closer."
"My lord, the situation here is basically the same."
Fran's crisp voice followed: "These hostile commanders are extremely cautious, and the soldiers at the lower level don't know any core secrets, so the subordinates can only pass through the important facilities such as the barracks and the city lord's mansion." Peripheral monitoring and analysis, in order to judge the real-time dynamics of the other party.
"It's a good job. If you easily startle the snake, it will easily arouse the other party's vigilance."
Having said that, Lei Xiao has already passed the spiral staircase to the spacious and bright castle hall on the first floor.
He waved his hand at the old butler Ward and others who were standing there, motioning to keep quiet, and Lei Xiao said, "Always pay attention to the movements of the two. If any troops leave the fief, please notify me as soon as possible."
"Obey! Please rest assured, my lord!"
The voices of the two Shadow Squadron commanders came together.
After closing the reading, Lei Xiao took the black tea cup, took a sip, and then said to the old butler beside him: "Ward, please go on, from now on, the territory will remain silent, and no one should make any noise. "
"Obey! Your lord!"
The old housekeeper bowed and saluted, and then he took the order and left.
"Then, it's time for me to check the situation of the moat."
Having made up his mind, Lei Xiao strode out of the lord's mansion.
Facing the rising sun all the way forward, it didn't take long before Lei Xiao came straight to the nearest city wall.
Standing on the city wall and looking down, Lei Xiao was delighted to find out.
The deep ravines and ditches outside the city walls have been filled with stream water.
Looking at it at a glance, it is sparkling, which makes people feel refreshed.
Moreover, judging from the faintly rippling waves on the water surface, this newly built moat is obviously connected to the surrounding naturally formed streams, not a pool of stagnant water.
"In this way, the territorial moat I have been thinking about is finally completed perfectly!"
Looking at the ten-meter-wide gurgling water, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction.
After that, after eating a hearty breakfast with all his subordinates, Lei Xiao gathered all the important personnel in the hall of the mansion according to the usual practice.
During this period of time, Lei Xiao also successively received reports from Marquis Rose, Orr, Risha, Randall and others.
It is not difficult to see from this that the prelude to the all-out war has indeed resounded to every corner of this area.
At this time, Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne, moved his dark eyes and began to look down at the first position.
On my right hand side are the commander-in-chief of the remaining troops in the territory, Rogge, the captain of the heavy guards, Bai Zhi, the half-elf archer captain, the deputy commander, the old butler Ward, the logistics commander, and Rudy and Gang, the deputy logistics commander. loose.
After that, there are five longbowmen including Dragon Rider Captain Sean, Werewolf Squadron Captain Orson, two Heavy Shield Archer Captains Lu Nuo and Brother Russ, two Mage Squadron Leaders Zhuqi and Finley, and Rick. The squadron leader, and Gunner squadron leader Erin and three others.
On my left side, there are a group of main subordinates, namely Knotweed, Hong Ye, Lian, Burt, Ye Cang, Ju Bai, Ariel, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Chao Yan, Xue Ya, Fa Xia, Bai Wei, A Ling, A Bing, Xiao Ya, and the newly joined female necromancer Lina.
Lei Xiao glanced at every familiar face in the lower position one by one, and a warm current of reassurance rose in his heart inexplicably, and he sighed secretly: "My subordinate team is really getting stronger and stronger. With these guys around, I feel like I can do anything."
While sighing ~ Lei Xiao did not hesitate, first he connected with the leaders of the territories, as well as the half-elf Chuangu and Shi Feng of the snow wolf clan, and then connected with Dean and Fran, and ordered The two re-described the situation just now.
During this process, the city masters, who also have their own complete information systems, also made corresponding supplements.
In the end, they all point to the huge power of the first prince and the second prince in this area, obviously preparing to launch a large-scale war, but the goal and purpose are still unclear.
After listening to this series of reports, the faces of the subordinates present were stern, and while slightly nervous, they all looked eager to fight.
During this period of time, under the gift of the lord, almost everyone present has made great progress that was unimaginable before.
And now, as the war is approaching, it is naturally time for them to repay the lord!
Lei Xiao, who sat on the throne at the top, nodded in satisfaction as he watched the expressions of all his subordinates who were full of fighting spirit and high morale, and then began the general mobilization before the war.
