Chapter 678 The Shadow and the Coming Challenge
"My lord is wise!"
Under the gloomy light and shadow, the tone of the No. 7 black-robed man clearly showed a touch of excitement, and he nodded repeatedly: "With the three powerful cards of the lord, it is indeed possible to easily plunge these two opponents into the endless abyss!"
"Jie Jie Jie, that's natural."
Nightmare Knight raised a treacherous arc from the hazy corner of his mouth, and said with a sneer, "As long as you assist the second prince to control this area, you will not be far from controlling the entire Leng Yan."
"Your Excellency is right, as long as you control the Lengyan Kingdom, then our sacred plan will be implemented more smoothly."
The burly and tall body of the black-robed man No. 7 trembled, and he also laughed loudly.
A moment later, the voice of No. 7 black-robed man showed a hint of doubt again, and asked: "My lord, when the organization supported His Royal Highness the Second Prince, it was all in secret. Why did you send you to directly lead the new nobleman this time?" Forces, to compete with the White Knight?"
"Lao Qi, you have to figure out a problem. After all, the second prince is just a **** in the hands of the organization. The reason why he still respects him is because his role has not been lost. After all, we have been waiting in Lengyan before. The reason why it will be unimpeded is because he secretly mediates in the capital."
Nightmare Knight's tone was flat, as if he was talking about an insignificant object: "That stupid guy thinks he is using the organization, but in fact, it is the opposite, the organization is using him, as long as he is put on the throne and then controls the entire In the Kingdom of Cold Flame, he will immediately become a doll who can only obey orders."
After a pause, Nightmare Knight said again: "As for why the organization sent me to appear directly in the war on the bright side, the reason is actually very simple, that is, according to the current situation, only those who control the Lengyan Kingdom, Only then can the divine plan be better implemented.
"oh?"
Hearing what the Nightmare Knight said, the puzzlement in the voice of No. 7 man in black became more and more obvious, and he asked again: "Then why didn't the organization do this in the first place?"
"Old Seven, you really have a lot of questions, but I'm in a good mood now, so it's okay to tell you."
The Nightmare Knight leaning on the throne, leaning on his thin chin with one hand, responded: "Before this, there are three reasons why the organization has not appeared on the bright side."
"First, it is because of the consideration that if the actions are too explicit, it will affect the attention of some large neutral forces. After all, considering the overall situation, the scope of the organization's actions is spread all over the human race countries. Naturally, it is impossible to disturb the entire kingdom because of a Lengyan kingdom. checkerboard."
"Secondly, it's because the King of Cold Flame has Wu Na's Immortal in charge, and the ordinary fifth-order powerhouse is by no means his opponent. If he attacks blindly, it will only increase casualties."
"The third, and the most important reason, is that besides nothing, it is said that the Lengyan royal family also hides a very good hole card. This is also the most direct reason for the conflict between the strict organization order and the Lengyan royal family. .
Speaking of this, Nightmare Knight lazily changed a withered hand resting on his chin, and said leisurely: "If you have any questions, please ask me quickly before I feel bored."
"Yes, my lord."
No. 7 man in black robe hardly hesitated, and immediately asked: "The subordinates can understand the first two points you mentioned, but regarding the third point, what kind of hole cards does the Lengyan royal family have, so that even the huge organizations have any scruples?"
"I don't know the specific content of the third point, but what is certain is that this secret is only in the hands of King Lengyan for generations."
The Nightmare Knight said bluntly: "Thus, as long as the second prince who thinks he is smart is sent to the Throne of Cold Flame, everything will naturally become clear. This is also an important reason why the organization decided to take action directly. Actions have more or less encountered some small obstacles, and the organization's front has been stretched too far."
"This is the scary part of the organization, right? With its own power, it almost fought against the entire human kingdom."
No. 7 black-robed man nodded thoughtfully, and said in a voice full of reverence: "This is a powerful strength that no human world force has."
"That's right, those holy objects are distributed in every corner of the human kingdoms, and only in this way can they be collected at the fastest speed."
Nightmare Knight's tone was a bit more serious, and he said with a sinister smile: "As long as I can fully understand the secrets hidden in the holy relics, and then successfully open one of those doors, I am afraid that the entire human world will be reduced to me. Waiting for the plaything in your hand, then it will be the time to execute the final step of the divine plan."
"I'm really looking forward to that moment!"
The words of No. 7 black-robed man were full of anticipation and longing, and he also said solemnly: "For that moment, all these opponents who stand in front of us must be eliminated!"
Speaking of this, the No. 7 man in black shook his head helplessly and said, "But just like what you said, our sacred plan has indeed been hindered a lot."
"This is another important reason why the organization decided to intervene in this power struggle."
Nightmare Knight's voice gradually darkened, and he said solemnly: "You also participated in the big mission of the Holy Night Kingdom a while ago, so I don't need to talk about the sudden scene, right?"
"I didn't expect that the neutral force, which has been keeping a low profile, would directly help the Royal Family of the Holy Night and the Palace of the Moon. It caught us off guard. If they hadn't intervened suddenly, we would have been the final winner of that big task!"
No. 7 man in black nodded bitterly and said: "This undoubtedly shows that the sacred plan implemented by the organization has aroused the vigilance of this neutral force."
"Since the other party's vigilance has been aroused, the first concern before will naturally disappear. As for the second concern, not having that old and immortal person is indeed a big obstacle."
The withered fingers of the Nightmare Knight slid casually on the metal armrest of the throne: "But this dispute is not limited to the capital, as long as you stay away from the capital, it is almost impossible for the other party to appear, and once you get near the capital, the organization We will send out strong men of equal strength to deal with Wu."
Having said that, the Nightmare Knight snorted coldly in disdain, and said contemptuously: "Actually, if I want to go all out, I may not be at a disadvantage with all the trump cards, but the precious things like the trump cards are all at critical moments. Its just for use, I dont want to waste it on that guy.
"My lord's strength is naturally very clear to my subordinates."
No. 7 man in black nodded quickly, flatteringly said: "As long as there is an adult to make a move, the battle will be sure."
After a pause, the No. 7 man in black sighed again and said, "Unfortunately, due to some special reasons, some strong people in the organization are temporarily unable to take action directly, otherwise our plan would not be so passive. "
"Feel lucky. It is precisely because of these reasons that the organization is currently short of manpower. As a result, you, who have failed many times, are lucky enough not to be punished by the organization."
The condescending Nightmare Knight glanced at No. 7 man in black robe, and said calmly: "However, this predicament will not last forever, except for the Cold Flame Kingdom and the Holy Night Kingdom, although there are some obstacles, But the process of collecting holy objects in other countries has entered the final stage one after another."
"When the manpower is free, everything will be back on track. At that time, if you make up for your mistakes, it will be too late."
Speaking of this, Nightmare Knight raised his eyelids hidden in the shadows, and said flatly, "You should understand what I mean, right?"
"My lord, this subordinate understands very well!"
No. 7 black-robed man immediately understood the meaning of the Nightmare Knight's words, and quickly bowed and said: "This subordinate will definitely make up for the mistakes made. In this battle, I will do my best to help you win!"
"Then this seat depends on your performance. You can hide in the dead body guards of this seat for the time being. Even other fifth-order powerhouses will not be able to detect your breath."
The Nightmare Knight nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "I hope that you, who will appear as the fourth hole card, don't let me down."
"Don't worry, my lord, this subordinate will definitely go all out, and it's time for that princess, Ke Qing, to pay the price for obstructing my subordinate's actions."
After speaking, the man in black robe No. 7 and the Nightmare Knight looked at each other, and immediately burst out laughing.
For a moment, unscrupulous laughter echoed wantonly in the tent.
However, since the entire black tent had already been enveloped by the dense death energy of the Nightmare Knight, the ordinary soldiers outside obviously couldn't hear any sound.
Under the moonlit night, except for the armored skeletons patrolling around the tent and the occasional crisp sound of armor clashing, everything was still silent, as if nothing had happened.
The quiet moonlit night passed by.
When Lei Xiao opened his eyes again, the warm dawn had already shone on the bed through the gaps in the golden silk curtains.
Looking at the dots of light on the bedding, Lei Xiao rubbed his sleepy eyes and began to practice his daily routine.
Although he has already reached the fourth-order double-material powerhouse, he does not need to refine the potion for the time being.
However, according to the secret method of half-elf magic and martial arts taught by Jiang Li, it is also a good way to do morning exercises to mobilize and circulate the energy in the body every day.
When Lei Xiao opened his eyes again in good spirits, he got out of bed and began to wash.
Not long after, Lei Xiao, dressed neatly, strode out of the spacious lord's suite.
"Is today the day when the great war is coming? Or, is it an upcoming life-and-death challenge."
Lei Xiao, who was walking in the hallway of the mansion, couldn't help showing a trace of solemnity on his face.
Going straight to the lord's office, Lei Xiao received 5 brand new Tier 2 Recruitment Orders and 1 City Return Crystal as usual.
After that, he skillfully upgraded and disassembled all the iron ingots produced yesterday by the 10 lords including himself.
Due to the reserves of iron ingots, it has exceeded copper ingots by a lot.
Therefore, Lei Xiao ordered the other nine lords to produce copper ingots with all their strength, and traded all the corresponding resources.
Also quickly arranged his own manufacturing sequence, and Lei Xiao upgraded all the output of the Gelin City Alchemist Guild yesterday.
"My potion reserves are getting more and more sufficient, which will definitely further enhance the combat capability and survivability of the soldiers."
Gently patting the seemingly ordinary wooden storage box, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction.
After that, Lei Xiao, who was holding a cup of black tea, had just finished listening to the name of the dish reported by the old butler Ward.
The hasty reminder to read the words rang.
After connecting the call, Nan Xing's crisp voice came to Lei Xiao's ears: "My lord, the three infantry regiments of the eldest prince have just arrived at the camp converted from a village, and some of them are camping now. , and the other part went straight to yesterday's cavalry battlefield, which included many fire magicians."
"Clean the battlefield? It's a very wise decision."
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Such a large-scale battlefield, if it is not cleaned in time, will undoubtedly cause a lot of unnecessary troubles, and the collected equipment can be used again.
As for the battlefield during the offensive and defensive battle of Kongqing Town, Lei Xiao had already ordered Lin, Guanzhong and others to clean it up.
"My lord, as for the infantry regiment of the second prince, according to my subordinates' investigations, they will not be able to reach the surrounding area of Kongqing Town until noon."
I only heard Nan Xing's sassy voice, which came from the reading again.
"Understood, continue to monitor closely."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then shut down the reading.
"The time difference between the arrival of the two infantry regiments is only half a day. In addition, the white knight has lost troops and generals, and has taken the opportunity to clean up the battlefield."
"Thus, during the period when the main infantry corps of the Nightmare Knights has not yet arrived, the possibility of the White Knights taking the initiative to attack is almost zero."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao stepped out of the gate of the lord's mansion and continued to think.
"In other words, is it likely that the battle will kick off in the afternoon or evening?"
I saw Lei Xiao who came to the open space in front of the mansion, while thinking so, he took out Rolander and began to practice sword skills.
It wasn't until the smell of butter wafted from the territory that Lei Xiao put his sword into its sheath and walked towards the cafeteria with his subordinates.
After eating and drinking enough, Lei Xiao held a simple morning meeting and reported the current movements of the two opponents in detail to the subordinates in various places.
It was in the hall of the lord's mansion that he began to carefully study the opponent's possible strategies and countermeasures on the sand table with the commanders and main ~.
This is undoubtedly the best way to deal with it before waiting for the battle to start.
After all, this time, when the force is not dominant at all.
The plan I made was to rely on my powerful intelligence capabilities to wait for the opportunity, or to see the tricks and break the tricks, so as not to change.
It was like this, until Lei Xiao, who had been deducing it all morning and his head was a little swollen, had a hearty lunch with his subordinates and returned to the hall of the mansion again.
The sudden reminder to read the words rang in Lei Xiao's ears again.
This time, it was Nanyue's shy and crisp voice: "My lord, the three infantry regiments that the Second Prince's forces have just arrived suddenly made some unexpected moves..."
"Oh? Tell me carefully."
Hearing the sound, a curious and awe-inspiring expression suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
