Chapter 680 The Calm Before the Storm

"My lord, do you mean that tonight is the moment when the three-party war situation will start, including us?"

Seeing that Ariel's fair face was full of embarrassment, she asked.

"That's right, before that, I have carefully understood that these two opponents only carried a very small amount of luggage in order to speed up the march."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and said solemnly, "Plus, judging from the situation just now, the Nightmare Knights have no plans to build a strong camp to fight for a long time. Therefore, as long as there is a change in one side's forces, the other side will inevitably will act in the same way.

"Exactly."

Ariel frowned and nodded, and asked again: "My lord, how will the Nightmare Knight and the White Knight act?"

"As I analyzed before, the White Knight's first goal must be this territory."

Lei Xiao curled his lips helplessly, and responded, "Today, I have received more than ten reports from Bai Zhi and Orson. The elite scouts of the White Knights have designated this forest where the territory is located as a key investigation target."

"Although two squadrons of these extremely slippery scouts have been wiped out, they are still trying to approach the area where the territory is located."

"It's not hard to see from this that the number of scouts the White Knights have clearly exceeded the size of the two squadrons, and they have already grasped the approximate location of the territory."

Speaking of this, Lei Xiao's face showed a stern look again, and continued: "In this case, as long as the white knight sends an army into the forest, it will be easy for the white knight to find the territory."

"My lord's analysis is very reasonable."

Ariel nodded thoughtfully, and said thoughtfully: "Then how will the Nightmare Knight act?"

"The answer is simple."

With Lei Xiao's sharp gaze, he moved back and forth between the territory on the sand table and Kongqing Town, while responding: "Once the White Knights attack the territory with all their strength, the Nightmare Knights will definitely seize the opportunity to capture Kongqing Town."

"What the lord said is very true. Kongqing Town is the foundation of you and Princess Ariel to the outside world. Taking this city is undoubtedly equivalent to defeating you and Princess Ariel."

Bert stroked his short gray beard, and said in a deep voice, "Once the opponent succeeds, it will greatly increase the reputation of the second prince, and greatly reduce the reputation of you and Princess Ariel. The blow is almost devastating."

"Senior Burt is right."

Jubai leaned on his chin with one hand, nodded and said: "Once Kongqing Town falls, the Nightmare Knight who frees up his hand will definitely wait for work. At that time, even if we can repel the attack of the White Knight, it is impossible to resist the Nightmare Knight." The knight's second attack."

After a pause, Jubai added: "Besides, Kongqing Town is very close to the territory. Except for the extremely limited troops in Mailan Town and Magnet Town, our other peripheral cities cannot be rescued in time."

"The analysis of the two kingdom generals makes sense."

Lei Xiao's wandering gaze finally settled on Kongqing Town, and Lin Lin concluded: "Therefore, Kongqing Town must hold back the Nightmare Knight's attack before the territory completely repels the White Knight, otherwise the situation will be unimaginable. "

"In this way, don't we have to face the attack of nearly 100,000 people from these two opponents at the same time?"

Ariel's fair face began to become more dignified, and her throat rolled involuntarily.

"Don't worry, even though the opponent is very strong, we are not soft persimmons."

Looking at Ariel's uneasy face, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "I have already prepared all the trump cards in my hand, and I am just waiting for the opponent to come to me."

"Furthermore, each of the two opponents' rear regiments is still on the way. Including the losses of the two today, it means that the territory and Kongqing Town are facing less than 40,000 soldiers from each other."

Lei Xiao was still smiling and continued: "The most important thing is that both the territory and Kongqing Town are on the defensive relying on high walls and deep fortifications. Compared with the opponents who are actively attacking, they still have a considerable advantage."

"Understood, my lord, the subordinates are too nervous."

Ariel took a deep breath, and then said solemnly: "Please rest assured, my lord, my subordinates will definitely fight for the territory to the last moment!"

"very good."

Seeing that Ariel's nervous expression gradually eased, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

He changed the subject and said again: "Okay, at noon, I have already told Rudy to prepare dinner an hour earlier than usual, and when you are full, you should take the time to rest for a while." .

"Tonight is the time to really test us."

After speaking, Lei Xiao waved his hand, indicating that the commanders and main subordinates can be disbanded.

"Obey, my lord! This subordinate swears to live and die with the territory!"

All the subordinates spoke in unison with awe-inspiring faces and high morale.

When the subordinates bowed and left, only Lei Xiao was left in the huge hall of the mansion.

Lei Xiao sighed softly, took steps slowly, and walked towards the throne at the top.

Sitting down on the throne, Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly while caressing the cold metal armrest.

Although I said it lightly when comforting Ariel, the actual situation is undoubtedly much more complicated than this.

These two menacing opponents, in addition to a total of nearly 80,000 soldiers, also have a large number of strong men of all classes.

This kind of superposition of combat power is obviously not as simple as one plus one equals two.

In addition, what worries me even more is the hole cards that the two opponents are still hiding, and the mysterious organization that has not revealed itself.

In the face of these extremely uncertain factors, all I can do is to see the tricks and try to maximize the effect of the cards in my hand.

"I hope everything will go smoothly. Only after passing the challenge of this war, or the trial, can my overall strength be truly reborn and developed to a new level."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao opened the conversation, and according to what he had deduced with his subordinates during the day, he began to contact the leaders and subordinates from all over the place and Qin Qian in Songyin Mountains, making the final preparations for the upcoming battle.

As long as the war starts, the two opponents can't get out, and the territorial forces scattered in various places can naturally all move.

And at that time, the overall layout of one's own territory as bait will be truly formed.

Just after communicating with the commanders of the territories, Lei Xiao had a sumptuous dinner under the report of the old butler Ward.

During this process, Lei Xiao made further arrangements for the upcoming battles between the territory and Kongqing Town.

First of all, a fifth-tier powerhouse and five fourth-tier powerhouses from Knotweed, Lian, Burt, Jubai, Nanxing, and Nanyue went to Kongqing Town to assist Lin, Fang Hai, Guanzhong and others in defending the sky. Green Town.

In this way, together with the garrison army of 6,000 people in Kongqing Town, five second-tier guard squadrons directly under the city lord's mansion, two second-tier swordsman squadrons, one second-tier magician squadron, and two second-tier guard squadrons directly under the territory, The first-tier princess guards, one second-tier guard squadron of the trade fair, a total of 1,100 second-tier elite forces, and more than 1,000 mercenaries recruited, the overall number of soldiers has reached more than 8,000.

In addition, there are Lin, Guanzhong, 4 captains of the garrison army, 4 commanders of the princess guard, 5 commanders directly under the territory, and 5 Ariel's third-tier maids, a total of 20 people.

Although this kind of combat power is far inferior to the new noble forces led by Nightmare Knights, it is combined with 120 magic cannons, and the two cities of Mylan and Magneto that can be reinforced at any time.

If there were no accidents, it should be able to persist until the territory repelled the traditional aristocratic forces led by the white knights.

Lei Xiao himself and other direct subordinates, as well as the warriors of the Snow Wolf tribe, guarded the territory and waited for the arrival of the white knight.

The reason why Lei Xiao arranged this way is because on the one hand, Lian and Jubai, who use light attribute combat skills and magic, are all undead who restrain the Nightmare Knight, and Bert and Jubai, two well-known generals of the kingdom , It can also boost the morale of the soldiers in Kongqing Town to the maximum extent.

On the other hand, it is to keep as many powerful magicians as possible in the territory to maintain the operation of the absolute defense barrier.

Just as everything was arranged, Nan Xing's report came over: "My lord, the new noble force led by Nightmare Knight has set up a temporary camp five kilometers away from Kongqing Town!"

"Is that really the case? Its purpose of coveting Kongqing Town is already very obvious."

On the top seat of the long dining table, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

When the dinner was over, Lei Xiao went straight back to his lord's office, and began to make the final preparations before the battle began between the storage wooden box and the space bracelet.

In addition to the regular high-level items in the space bracelet, various low-level potions were stuffed in as much as possible, just in case.

"Take the time to rest for a while, tonight must be a sleepless **** night."

Thinking of this, after tidying up, Lei Xiao lay down on the spacious lord's desk, quietly waiting for the night to deepen.

After the rest, Lei Xiao, who was in good spirits, walked out of the lord's mansion again.

There were already crowds of people everywhere in the territory, and the air of murder pervaded the air.

Slowly pacing in the territory, Lei Xiao noticed.

Five squadrons of longbowmen, two squadrons of heavy shield archers, two squadrons of magicians, and three squadrons of spear fighters, all wearing bows and arrows, have all boarded the city wall and are ready to fight.

Under the quiet moonlit night, a pair of magic cannons exuded a shimmering red light, which was well-maintained and shiny, which was particularly eye-catching.

The Heavy Guard Squadron, Peasant Squadron, and Earth Guardians are closely guarding important facilities such as the lord's mansion, miracle buildings, and warehouses.

As for the five second-tier werewolf fighter squadrons and the four ordinary werewolf fighter squadrons, under the leadership of Shi Feng and the three werewolf clan elders, they were neatly arranged into nine square formations, serving as a reserve team in the territory.

Such an awe-inspiring scene, coupled with the fact that blackout has already been implemented in the territory, and the splendor of the subordinates' equipment has also been completely suppressed, making the place full of cold and dark tones.

I saw that on the faces of each of the subordinates, apart from being nervous and awe-inspiring, there was a touch of excitement and high-spirited fighting spirit.

The opponent's army is about to approach the city, and this is their best chance to repay the lord!

You must know that since coming to this miraculous territory, the Lord Lord's favor has been pouring on everyone continuously.

Needless to say, a full set of Tier 3 equipment and star-rated meals, and with the assistance of potions worth ten thousand gold one after another, the strength of most of the direct subordinates has reached the peak level of Tier 2 at least.

The most important thing is that the lord gave everyone a lot of auxiliary and healing potions.

Being able to carry valuable potions to fight, if it was put beforehand, this is obviously something they dare not even dream of!

Looking at the faces of his subordinates who were full of fighting spirit, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and then walked towards the enchantment crystal in the center of the three miracle buildings.

When he got closer, Lei Xiao noticed.

A group of powerful magicians headed by Hong Ye have already been waiting here.

"Red Ye, Ye Cang, Ariel, Xueya, Faxia, Lina, Zhaoyan, Ward, Yingshi, Huachao, Rudy, Sanwei, Frost Order, I leave this to you, be sure to Go all out to support the absolute defensive enchantment."

Nodding to all the subordinates, Lei Xiao said solemnly.

"Please rest assured, my lord, the subordinates will definitely go all out!"

The subordinates of the magic department touched their chests and saluted one after another, saying in unison.

As for the other two maids from the physics department and the two chefs from the physics department, they rotate in pairs, alternately controlling the defense methods of the Tower of Illusion.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, waved his hand to signal Ariel to go with him, and continued pacing in the territory.

Under the quiet moonlit night, although there were many people in the territory, it was silent. Even the footsteps of Lei Xiao and Ariel could clearly echo in their ears.

"If it was in the previous life, being able to walk side by side with a real princess like this is undoubtedly something I would never dare to dream of."

Looking at Ariel's fair side face beside him, Lei Xiao couldn't help but smile, and thought in his heart: "Now, although I have achieved this point easily, what I need to face next is a **** battle." The experience of fire."

Just when Lei Xiao sighed secretly.

As if noticing Lei Xiao's gaze, Ariel turned her head sideways, and while stroking a strand of black hair on her forehead behind her ear, she blinked her starry eyes and said, "My lord, the territory is really quite quiet. Feeling flustered ~ Its like the calm before the storm.

"How? Are you afraid?"

Lei Xiao looked at Princess Leng Yan, who was close at hand, and said with a faint smile.

"As long as you can follow the lord's side, your subordinates will have no hesitation and will not be afraid of anything."

Ariel didn't hesitate, and said with a serious face.

But immediately, she seemed to feel that there was some ambiguity in her words, and she immediately blushed, and lowered her head involuntarily.

"If this war can go through smoothly, when everything in the territory gradually stabilizes, maybe I should also consider my own affairs."

Looking at Ariel's delicate cheeks like red apples, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows.

Lei Xiao just thought of this.

The sound of prompting to read quickly rang in my ears.
