Chapter 660 The Battle Before Dawn

Under the moonlit night, the fire energy particles around the camp were boiling.

Accompanied by two consecutive violent magic explosions, a huge fireball roared into the air.

Except for the side near the lake, the other two sides of the camp were also successfully blasted open a big hole.

Because the wooden fence was covered with anti-magic coating, the afterflame from the explosion did not continue to spread.

Instead, it quickly turned into specks of sparks, rising with strands of black smoke, slowly drifting towards the sky.

Before these sparks were completely burnt out, groups of cavalrymen running wildly stomped them all out and swarmed towards the gap created by the blast.

And the situation was almost exactly the same as before, only the heavy infantry of the defenders with big arms and round waists, who had no time to wear armor, shouted slogans, and formed a new barrier with huge shields, firmly resisting the opponent's attack.

So far, the fierce hand-to-hand combat has successfully expanded from one place to three.

During this process, those mages in red robes were going to continue blasting, but they had already become the number one attack target of the defenders' archers. After several rounds of arrow rain, almost half of them were destroyed.

Although the dark night greatly restricted the field of vision of the archers, the surge of magical energy fluctuations when casting spells accurately exposed the positions of the magicians.

Due to the significant reduction in the number of magicians involved in casting spells, the already slow singing process has become more lengthy, and the power has been weakened.

Therefore, after many unsuccessful attempts, these remaining magicians had to give up blasting, and instead released some low-level ordinary magic to assist the cavalry in their attack.

On the fierce battlefield, soldiers on both the attacking side and the defending side clearly understood.

This blasted gap is the key to the entire battle situation.

For the soldiers of the Great Prince's forces on the attacking side, as long as they can break into the camp, those longbowmen who are not good at melee combat will undoubtedly become shackles.

As for the soldiers of the Second Prince's forces on the defensive side, as long as they can persist until dawn and the vision of the sharpshooters is restored, the opponent will naturally retreat in despair.

Under the premise of this obvious victory condition with almost no variables.

The soldiers on both sides, the attacker and the defender, exerted enough energy to continuously swing the sharp blade in their hands towards the opponent's camp, and what was drawn out together with the sharp blade was often a splash of bright red splashed from the opponent's body.

The bright red blood splashed on the soldiers' faces, armors, corpses on the ground, and mottled wooden fences, forming a thrilling scene of a **** night.

As more and more soldiers fell, the **** smell in the air became more and more intense, constantly impacting the nasal cavity and nerves of every soldier.

Seeing the robe beside him, he screamed and fell under the enemy's blade, and the killing intent in the eyes of the soldiers around him increased wildly, resulting in an intensified battle, which soon reached a white-hot stage.

Either crisp or heavy weapon clashes, mixed with the soldiers' battle roars, cursing and groans, seemed to form a sonorous sonorous sound of flesh and steel, spreading continuously on this murderous battlefield .

Not far from the battlefield, on the top of the Baibu Mountains, Lei Xiao, surrounded by Hu Zhang, Ariel and other subordinates, narrowed his eyes slightly, looking down at the tragic battlefield below.

As for Hong Ye and the other subordinates, they guarded Xiaoya's surroundings together with Nan Xing Nanyue.

"As expected of the lord, the traditional nobles and the new nobles have always had a long-standing grudge, and now the enemy is really jealous when they meet."

Listening to the deafening shouts of killing, the slender Tangerine took a step forward, bowed to Lei Xiao and said: "These guys usually do evil in their respective fiefs, and now they should also taste the fire and the sword." taste."

"It's true. For hundreds of years, the contradictions between the two have been almost irreconcilable. What they fought with each other was only the increasingly stringent taxation and corvee for the free farmers in the fief."

Burt shook his head helplessly, and then added: "Although this situation has improved when the old king was in charge of the government, the disputes between the two that have lasted for two to three hundred years cannot be reconciled by a wise king. contradiction."

"The past two or three hundred years have almost spanned half of the history of the Cold Flame Kingdom, and it is indeed a matter of long-standing grievances."

Ariel on the side sighed softly, her eyebrows drooped, and she said: "In this period of history, although Leng Yan also produced the Wise King Ebner, the Rose King Esther, the Lion Roaring King Alfred, and the fathers of his subordinates... Famous kings such as Wang Gangwrist, but there is no one who can completely resolve this contradiction."

After a pause, Ariel frowned again and added: "After all, whether it is a traditional noble or a newly promoted noble, they are already deeply rooted in Lengyan, and their power is comparable to that of the royal family and other three top nobles who are alone. wealthy."

"Is it a top aristocratic family? Except for the Shanglu family, this is really an unfamiliar word."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile: "For us, this is not a problem. If someone stands in our way, we can simply erase it. The best way to solve this contradiction is to rebuild a new one." order."

After listening to Lei Xiao's words, all the subordinates nodded thoughtfully.

"Of course, we have to overcome this difficulty now, so that we can become stronger."

Lei Xiao slowly withdrew his gaze from looking down, and changed the subject: "Just now, I have received the report from Bai Zhi and Orson, including the Shadow Forest where the territory is located, there have been traces of the other party's spies one after another."

"Please rest assured, my lord, my subordinates will do my best to solve my lord's worries and problems!"

All the subordinates touched their chests and saluted, saying in unison.

"Okay, let them continue here. The more they consume, the safer the soldiers and civilians in our territories will be. From the very beginning when they entered Kongqing Town and attempted to kill and destroy everything, they have completely stood still. On the opposite side of us."

While putting on the invisibility cloak again, Lei Xiao said, "Let's go back to the territory. As for Xiaoya, just take turns to guard her. Be sure to protect her safety."

After speaking, Lei Xiao, surrounded by his subordinates, galloped towards the territory.

The night was filled with darkness, and the sudden offensive and defensive battle of the camp was still going on.

Although the infantry combat ability of the cavalry is much inferior, most of the defenders are in a hurry to go into battle, not neatly dressed, coupled with the dark night, greatly limiting the field of vision of the archers.

Therefore, the two sides have been almost evenly matched, and no one can do anything to win the other, and they are just consuming in vain.

As for the only Tier 4 strongman inside and outside the camp, Eridon, he has been wandering and boosting morale in the three gaps almost all the time, fighting **** on the front line.

Although his strength is invincible on the battlefield, each sword can cut several cavalrymen under his feet, but after all, the energy in his body is limited. After beheading hundreds of cavalrymen one after another, he gradually wilted down .

Although he still has the power to fight, he is naturally unwilling to put his noble self in a dangerous situation.

And these hundreds of dismounted cavalry obviously cannot play a decisive role in a battlefield of 20,000 people.

Until the dark sky gradually turns pale, and the moment when dawn is approaching.

The two sides, who were already exhausted, finally ushered in a temporary dawn.

"Let's stop here, it doesn't make any sense to continue fighting."

Under Lei Xiao's instructions, "Vince", who had been in the forest by the camp, waved his hand and ordered to Clooney beside him.

Since the reinforcements of the first prince's force and the second prince's force could not arrive in time, it was natural for the two to persist until then and give full play to their roles.

"Yes, Lord Vince."

Clooney, who was also a little tired, immediately delivered the order.

Accompanied by the sound of soothing horns that were completely different from the attack, the camp's offensive and defensive battle, which had been fought fiercely all night, came to an end with the retreat of the cavalry corps just before dawn.

As for Lei Xiao in the territory, he just finished washing up and started his day's routine activities.

In his lord's office, after Lei Xiao received 5 new Tier 2 Recruitment Tokens and 1 City Return Crystal, he skillfully upgraded and decomposed all the iron ingots produced by 10 lords including himself yesterday. complete.

"Let's just continue to produce iron ingots today. The war is imminent, so let's focus on the current war. After all, the acquisition of refined steel ingots has temporarily stalled."

With this in mind, Lei Xiao quickly arranged his own manufacturing sequence, and traded the corresponding manufacturing resources to Su Ru, Su Mo and other 9 lords.

Afterwards, Lei Xiao decomposed three days' worth of alchemy materials, gave them to Lixia who was waiting there through Su Rusumo's territory, and collected the potion output from the Gelin City Alchemist Guild yesterday.

After quickly completing the upgrade of these potions, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the more and more wooden storage boxes, and strode out of the lord's mansion.

After eating a very delicious and hearty breakfast with all the subordinates, Lei Xiao gathered all the current main subordinates, the commander of the territory, and the subordinates connected to various places, and began to summarize yesterday's battle situation.

"As expected of the lord! Not only did you wipe out the first prince's vanguard army, but also made the first prince's cavalry army and the second prince's vanguard army bite dogs?"

After listening to Lei Xiao's introduction, Ban Sen, the owner of Luolong City, reverently uttered an eager voice with a little anticipation, and said with a strange smile, "Your subordinates are so excited, I can't wait to see you immediately." Let's go to the battlefield and fight!"

"Don't worry, your chance to show off your talents may come soon."

Sitting on the throne in the hall of the mansion, Lei Xiao smiled faintly while taking a sip of steaming black tea to moisten his throat.

"My lord, Vince's sudden attack on Eridon will soon reach the ears of the commanders of the two camps. With their minds, they must be able to immediately detect that there is something else hidden in it."

Only hearing the calm voice of the city lord Auer, who was slightly worried, it rang again: "Besides, our illusionist cannot disguise himself in front of the opponent's commander. Therefore, especially the white knight, he will soon find out The clues of this."

"Al's worry is reasonable, but it's not necessary."

The Marquis Rose, the lord of Lanleng Castle, responded in a very elegant voice: "Even if the white knight knows that all of this is our strategy, so what? Will he let his cavalry army fall into a bitter battle without rescue?" ?In this way, the morale of the Grand Prince's forces will be further greatly reduced."

"Shuanghuaqing is right. After we annihilated the vanguard army of the king's brother, the slight advantage of the white knight's force no longer exists. If we don't improve morale, I'm afraid we will collapse without a fight."

Ariel, who was in the lower position, dragged her white chin with her slender hands, and nodded thoughtfully: "After all, although the traditional nobles are all loyal to the big brother, they are fighting for favor with each other and not united. Otherwise, in Baldwin After the Vanguard Army was at a disadvantage, Vince would definitely send troops to rescue instead of withdrawing 3,000 cavalry."

"That's right, so I've figured it out a long time ago. Although the white knight sees through the dispute we provoked and is a sure thing, he can only mobilize faster cavalry troops to help "Vince" wipe out this army. The second prince's vanguard army. "

Lei Xiao put down the steaming teacup in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "Only by doing this, can we boost the morale of our own side, and at the same time defeat the spirit of the Second Prince's forces."

"This is the so-called dumb eating coptis, can't you tell if you are suffering?"

Ariel smiled, and popped out another sentence that has been passed down from the era of the King of Heroes, and continued: "The commander of the second brother's force must have expected this, and will also send cavalry troops to reinforce. A duel between the cavalry is about to begin."

"Exactly. If nothing else happens, our main job today is to go to the theater."

There was also a smile on Lei Xiao's face, and then he said seriously: "However, there are no absolutes in everything. Everyone must be fully alert and always be prepared to deal with any sudden crisis that may come."

"Obey! Your lord!"

All the subordinates looked solemn and said in unison.

~ go to your own business."

Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand and said.

After dismissing all the subordinates, Lei Xiao did not immediately leave the throne at the top, but sipped his tea while frowning and lost in thought.

Although everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, neither the White Knight nor the mysterious commander of the Second Prince's forces are any ordinary people, and they will not always be led by their noses.

It's time to really test yourself when the other party has a firm foothold.

Moreover, the powerful members of the mysterious organization that have been disappearing for a long time are still silent. For such a big battle, they must have already got the news.

These two points will be unpredictable variables in the future, and it is very likely that a deadly crisis like a storm is hidden.

"It seems that the real challenge has just begun."

Lei Xiao drank the tea in his cup with piercing eyes.
