Chapter 698 The Crumbling Kongqing Town (Part 2)
At the same time, along with other strong men under Lei Xiao's command, they showed their power inside and outside the City Lord's Mansion in Kongqing Town.
The originally extremely unfavorable battle situation was soon completely reversed.
Although many of the undead warriors were originally elite soldiers who were equipped with extraordinary equipment and whose strength had reached the second level, they were naturally vulnerable to fourth-level strongmen who were almost all equipped with fifth-level magic soldiers.
"It actually made my soldiers unable to sleep peacefully after death... Nightmare Knight must die!"
Looking at the densely packed skeleton soldiers not far away, all wearing familiar Tier 2 or Tier 3 equipment, Lei Xiao clenched the staff in his hand, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Before the start of this war concerning the life and death of himself, the territory, and the territories, even though he had already prepared for the worst and deduced many possible bad situations.
But fighting these loyal soldiers who had been loyal to him was obviously not within the expected range.
"This extremely troublesome death barrier directly wiped out the equipment advantages of my soldiers, and even had a counterproductive effect. It is indeed something I have never considered before."
"This undoubtedly shows that the battlefield in this magical world is far more complicated than that of Blue Star. It is absolutely impossible to think with the inherent thinking before. Presumably there will be more and more unexpected things in the future, right?"
I saw Lei Xiao waving his magic staff, summoning a sharp thunder explosion, thinking to himself in his heart.
"As a result, I must learn more classic battles from the various human nations, and even the tens of thousands of races in the mainland, and combine the experience of my predecessors to enrich myself to the greatest extent. After all, the opponents I will face in the future will inevitably be stronger than each other Difficult."
"Of course, the premise is that I can get through the current crisis smoothly."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly, and brought his attention back to reality.
Not long after, under the strong attack of the main force headed by Lei Xiao, the remaining defenders quickly regained all the fortifications and regained control of the area where the City Lord's Mansion is located.
"My lord, your arrival is really timely!"
In front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Fang Hai, the commander-in-chief of the City Lord's Mansion, brought Aaron and Bud, the captains of the Great Swordsman Squadron, Zhu Sha, the leader of the Magician Squadron, and Qing Shu, the deputy captain of the Princess Guard, to Lei Xiao. in front of.
I saw that Fang Hai's gray beard had already been dyed red by dried blood, and the brocade robe outside his inner armor was also covered with bright red.
As for the other commanders, there were also many scars all over their bodies.
In particular, the captains of the two great swordsmen, Aaron, Bud, and Bai Guo's elder brother, Qingshu, all had pits and pits on their colorful armors, making them extremely mottled and dull.
It is conceivable that without the protection of these high-level equipment, they would have already been blood-stained on the battlefield.
"Everyone has worked hard."
Lei Xiao nodded to the subordinates in front of him, and then ordered Ye Cang to come forward for treatment.
Since Lei Xiao had distributed a large amount of healing potions to Kongqing Town before, the injuries of several people were effectively alleviated from the very beginning, and they were not very serious.
As for the bumpy equipment on the commanders, Lei Xiao didn't care at all, and just replaced it with new ones at that time.
Although his reserves of Tier 4 and above equipment are relatively limited, equipment below Tier 3 is already quite abundant.
"My lord, it's because the command of the subordinates is not good, which caused the city lord's mansion to almost fall!"
Accompanied by Ye Cang's treatment, Fang Hai fell to his knees, his old face full of unwillingness.
"My lord, it's all because Mr. Fang Hai came to support in time, otherwise the City Lord's Mansion would have fallen long ago!"
There was the sound of armor colliding, and Qingshu, who was originally in charge of the defense of the City Lord's Mansion, took a step forward and knelt on one knee and said, "If you want to blame, please blame your subordinates!"
"I won't blame anyone. You have done a very good job of fighting hard despite the extremely unfavorable situation where your opponents are killing more and more. In other words, I am afraid that there are not many commanders who can do what you do. degree."
With a gentle smile, Lei Xiao helped the two of them up one by one.
Next, through Fang Hai's report, Lei Xiao learned about it.
Fang Hai, who was originally in charge of commanding the reserve team, began to intensify the attacks of the new noble forces outside the city.
It is to disperse the two recruit brigades, one elite squadron of the City Lord's Mansion and all the healing forces on the four walls of the city to assist the original garrison in defense.
As for himself, Aaron, Bard and other great swordsmen, as well as the recruited mercenaries, they have been fighting on the northern city wall where the attack was the most intense and the losses were the heaviest, suppressing the opponents who tried to rush up the city wall.
After the sudden appearance of the Undead Realm, Fang Hai and the commander of the northern city wall, Captain Yar, also decisively withdrew from the city wall, intending to eliminate the undead warriors in the city first.
During the evacuation, Fang Hai and Yaer chose to split up because they learned that the City Lord's Mansion and the storage area in the north of the city were in emergency at the same time.
Fang Hai led two elite swordsman squadrons to assist the city lord's mansion far away, while Yaer led the remaining garrison soldiers and mercenary forces to assist the storage area in the north of the city.
"After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, those skeleton soldiers have already climbed up the outer wall of the City Lord's Mansion. Although the subordinates fought hard, they still failed to resist the opponent's attack."
Fang Hai sighed softly, his old face was full of helplessness.
"Originally, only a princess guard from Qingshu and an elite magician squadron from Zhusha were guarding the city lord's mansion. Facing the siege of a large number of skeleton soldiers, I am very satisfied with being able to defend to this extent. After all, the city lord The defense line around the house is very long."
Lei Xiao patted the broad shoulders of the burly old blacksmith in front of him, nodded and smiled and said, "Besides, just like what Qingshu said, because of Mr. Fang Hai's rush to help, the defenders of the City Lord's Mansion will not be completely wiped out. .
Looking at the faces of several people who were blackened by gunpowder smoke, Lei Xiao still maintained a faint smile, calming everyone's nervousness: "The most important thing is that thanks to everyone's hard work, the civil servants and servants in the city lord's mansion , was able to save their lives, and Kongqing Town was able to continue to operate, and each of you contributed a lot."
"With the words of the lord, the subordinates will die!"
Hearing Lei Xiao's words, all the commanders shook their shoulders and lowered their heads deeply towards Lei Xiao.
"Okay, time is urgent, let's talk about something serious."
Seeing that the morale of his subordinates had risen again, Lei Xiao didn't hesitate, just like before, he briefly described the situation in the Jue Shou domain that he had learned so far with Fang Hai and the others.
"It turned out to be like this..."
While Fang Hai looked at Aaron, Qingshu and the others, his old face was full of astonishment and he said, "I didn't expect that Nightmare Knight's despicable methods to be so vicious."
"That being said, the battlefield is a Shura's land where there is death and no life, and the opponent's methods are cruel, so we have to be even better in order to survive the desperate situation."
Lei Xiao's eyes were piercing, and he said coldly: "That Nightmare Knight, I will never let him go, of course, including the new aristocratic forces outside the city, no matter who makes this city add blood, don't even think about running away .
"The lord's words are very true, and the subordinates are willing to fight for the lord to the last moment!"
In addition to being excited, Fang Hai bowed and reported: "By the way, Lord Lord, before the Jue Shi domain started to operate, the three people who were originally sitting on the north city wall, the knotweed and Nan Xing Nanyue, learned that the west city wall was the same. After encountering the onslaught, I greeted my subordinates who had just arrived not long ago, and went to help the western city wall."
After a pause, Fang Hai's old face, which was scorched black by gunpowder smoke, showed a stern look, and added: "Then, the situation of these three colleagues will not be known to the subordinates."
"So, is it possible that the main force such as the knotweed is restrained somewhere in the west of the city by some unknown force?"
Lei Xiao rubbed his chin thoughtfully, and asked again: "By the way, Mr. Fang Hai, did you see Kumbu, Celia, and Xiao En on the way here?"
"Go back to Lord Lord, I didn't see it."
Fang Hai shook his head, and replied helplessly: "To tell the truth, my lord, on the way to the city lord's mansion, my subordinates even lost their way several times on the very familiar streets. , Celia, Sean, and the others are most likely also lost somewhere in the dense fog."
"Understood, then I will leave it to you."
Lei Xiao first left three elderly great magicians to sit in the city lord's mansion, then nodded to Fang Hai and other commanders.
The City Lord's Mansion is the central system of the entire Kongqing Town, so it is natural to have tighter defenses.
With three old great magicians who cooperated closely, even if they encountered another group of undead soldiers besieging, they would be safe and sound.
In addition, Lina had already reported just now that the central area of the city where the City Lord's Mansion is located is not the location of the formation.
Just when Lei Xiao and the others were about to leave, they heard Zhusha's worrying crisp voice, and it rang out again: "Please be careful, my lord, the one who can trap the three seniors of the knotweed, Nanxing, and Nanyue Strength is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary undead warriors, and there may be even more terrifying existences hidden in this black mist..."
"Understood, you should also be careful."
Nodding to Zhusha whose freckles had been covered by the darkness, the lavender wings behind Lei Xiao fluttered, and immediately they were with Hong Ye, Randall, Ye Cang, Ariel, Chaoyan, and Lina. A subordinate of the main force, his figure flashed and disappeared at the gate of the city lord's mansion.
Speeding between the buildings shrouded in black mist, Lei Xiao's brows involuntarily frowned again.
From the beginning of entering the city, no matter whether it was the granary in the east of the city, the treatment center in the south of the city, or the city lord's mansion just now, in addition to seeing the phantom of the nightmare knight.
My group didn't encounter any threatening opponents, and everything seemed to go too smoothly.
"According to what the Nightmare Knight said, if this place is really a realm of undead, then he will definitely find ways to convert more soldiers and residents into undead, so as to achieve the ultimate goal."
"However, judging from the current situation, the Nightmare Knight obviously doesn't care. I forcefully reduce the number of undead here... What exactly does he want to do? Who are the main powerhouses such as the knotweed stick trapped?"
With this in mind, under the guidance of Lina, Lei Xiao and his party broke through the black fog blocking the road and arrived at the northern area of the city.
The north of the city is the storage area for merchants, and it is also the key and credibility of Kongqing Town, a commercial town.
Lei Xiao also built a large number of defensive facilities here to deal with possible crises.
"If I remember correctly, the Princess Guard's Combat Maid Squadron and Lin's Trade Fair Guard Squadron are guarding here, and together with the garrison and mercenaries led by Yar, there should be no major problems. Bar?"
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
Amidst the mist, the gate of the storage area in front is already close at hand.
Standing in front of the gate of the storage area, Lei Xiao was surprised to find out.
Here the door is open, everywhere is empty, and the quietness makes people panic.
"What's going on here? Not only can't even a guarding soldier be seen, there's no trace of the undead warrior either?"
Ariel, who followed closely behind Lei Xiao, blinked her slender eyelashes, and said in astonishment, "Where did everyone go?"
"Could it be that they have all been transformed into skeleton soldiers?"
Looking at the empty scene in front of her, Zhao Yan, who was extremely nervous, couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of spit, and said, "It's simply too unimaginable."
"It shouldn't be possible for all the defenders here to be converted into undead warriors."
I saw Hong Ye, who was opening the road with Lina at the front, squatting in the corner next to the gate of the storage area, pointing to the crimson sprinkled on the ground and saying: "Although there are a lot of blood here, it has already dried up. Look, it is definitely not the size of the total number of defenders here."
"Does the blood left behind not match the size of the defenders?"
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, and said in a deep thought: "In this way, the possibility of all the defenders being transformed into undead is indeed very slim."
"But if they weren't converted into undead, where did the defenders go?"
On Ariel's fair face, the puzzlement and astonishment became more and more obvious: "The soldiers of the Princess Guard alone will never leave their posts without authorization."
"This matter is indeed quite strange."
Lei Xiao frowned, and then ordered to the subordinates beside him: "Maybe there will be survivors in the storage area, let's go in and search."
"Obey! Your lord!"
All the subordinates bowed together ~ and started to act immediately.
However, after some searching, Lei Xiao found it without any surprise.
The interior and exterior are the same here, as expected, even the shadow of a person can't be seen.
Returning to the gate of the storage area, Lei Xiao turned around and asked Lina who had just returned: "How is it? Is there anything unusual here?"
"Go back to the lord, there is nothing, and this is not where the formation is located."
Lina shook her head helplessly, her delicate wheat-colored face was full of disappointment.
"So, is there only the western part of the city left?"
Lei Xiao's eyes were piercing, and he said calmly: "It seems that all the answers are there, let's go."
After speaking, Lei Xiao and all the subordinates of the main force flashed their figures and flew towards the west of the city.
