Chapter 779 Heading to Holy Night
Accompanied by a glare of off-white light, Lei Xiao and his party returned to the territory first.
Ice Demon Gals had just seen the light of day again, and his body was still flimsy, so Lei Xiao naturally wouldn't let him run around.
And the two half-elf priests who are good at healing are also not suitable for going to the Holy Night Kingdom.
After all, Lei Xiao clearly understands that what he needs to do next is to go deep into the center of the Holy Night Army where the strong are like clouds.
With other main subordinates in place, there is no need to put these precious pure healing subordinates with limited combat capabilities at risk.
"Xueya, Faxia, it's still the same, you can stay in the territory with senior Gals."
In front of the gate of the lord's mansion, Lei Xiao nodded to the two territorial alchemists: "Take Senior Gals to familiarize yourself with the territory. I have already arranged the room, just go to Ward directly."
"Obey, please rest assured, my lord."
Xueya and Faxia touched their chests and saluted at the same time, saying in unison.
"Senior Garth, when I'm not around, the territory will be handed over to you to sit in charge."
Lei Xiao nodded to the patriarch of the Bingliu family, then turned to the two half-elf priests, and continued: "Elder Ayer, Elder Lanke, thank you for your hard work this time."
"My lord, where are you talking?"
The red-faced Al hurriedly stroked his chest and saluted, bowed and said, "It's a great honor for these old fellows to be able to see the demeanor of the lord up close!"
After Al finished speaking, Lan Ke on the side also took a step forward, and echoed: "That's right, my lord, these are the things that subordinates should do!"
"Being able to have wise old men like you sitting in the territory, I will have no worries."
Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction, and ordered the five fourth-tier powerhouses to return to their respective positions.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao called Lian, Chao Yan, Nan Xing, and Nan Yue who were originally staying in the territory by chanting.
Together with the original Jiangli, Polygonum cuspidatum, Hong Ye, Ersha, Ye Cang, and Ariel, a new subordinate team of ten people was formed, ready to go to the Holy Night Kingdom.
As for Ju Bai, who followed back to the territory, he still had the important official duties assigned by Lei Xiao just now, and he needed to go back to preside over the work, so he couldn't follow the action this time.
"Okay, let's go."
When all the subordinates of the main force were in place, Lei Xiao nodded to Jiang Li.
"Obey, my lord."
Following Jiang Li's command, he raised his hand and drew a graceful gray hexagram, and the group left the territory in an instant.
After that, Lei Xiao first sent Jubai back to Fortress of Remaining, and then went directly to the Fortress of Shanbao, which is the terminal of the teleportation network.
Lei Xiao needs to go to the Holy Night Kingdom through here, and also needs to further strengthen Bai Lao's confidence.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that even an experienced general of the Kingdom would not be able to calm down in the face of such a huge opponent.
And the mountain fortress is the eastern gateway of the territory, so there must be no mistakes.
Sure enough, after Lei Xiao informed the members of the Shadow Squadron stationed in the Mountain Fortress to inform Bai Lao, he just teleported to the meeting hall of the Mountain Fortress, and Bai Lao, who had been waiting here, immediately greeted him.
"Your Excellency, you are finally here!"
I saw that on Bai Lao's resolute old face, although he did not show any anxiety or timidity, the urgency in his words and eyes was already very obvious.
"Old General Bai, I already know everything."
Lei Xiao nodded to Bai Lao, and Bo Lan smiled in surprise: "It seems that the other party really did not let go of this opportunity to sneak in."
"I didn't expect that it would be the Saintess of the Moon Palace who came out in person and led the 250,000 Holy Night Army to invade. This is already equivalent to launching a full-scale national war. Those **** Holy Night leaders are determined to make trouble this time. !"
Bai Lao's old wrinkled face was full of solemnity, he clenched his fist and said: "If the old king is not critically ill, even if he lends some courage to the new king of Shengye, the other party will never dare to enter the army with such a big fanfare!"
After finishing speaking, Bai Lao's tightly clenched fist dropped powerlessly again.
Even if it is him, it is absolutely impossible to block the 250,000 army.
"What should come will always come. Having illusions can only kill our fighting spirit. Only an iron fist that is harder than the enemy is the eternal truth."
Still maintaining a faint smile, Lei Xiao nodded to the old general and said, "Don't worry, old general Bai, just leave it to me this time."
"Your Excellency, so you already have a good plan to retreat from the enemy?"
Looking at Lei Xiao's confident face, Bai Lao's old eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked excitedly.
Regarding Lei Xiao's words, Bai Lao would naturally not doubt it.
This guest from another world, Your Excellency, has created many miraculous battles that can be recorded in the annals of history, and each time is so shocking and unexpected.
Maybe this time, they can really turn the tide again!
"Although I don't know the final result yet, I will do my best."
Lei Xiao's smile faded, and his face became serious again: "Before then, Old General Bai just needs to sit back and wait, and everything will be done step by step."
"I understand Your Excellency Ke Qing, and with what Your Excellency Ke Qing said, the old man's heart is relieved."
Bai Lao revealed his eager old eyes, and began to relax again, and said solemnly: "As long as this old man and this fortress army are still there, you can rest assured, Your Excellency!"
"Then thank you, Old General Bai. Now the recruiting work in various places is proceeding in an orderly manner. At that time, the reinforcements will be delivered together with the ordnance and equipment I promised."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, smiled at the old general and said, "It's important, we will stay soon."
"Your Excellency, have a good journey."
Bai Lao stroked his chest and gave a salute, then quickly stepped out of the way.
Then, under Bai Lao's watchful eye, Lei Xiao and his party disappeared into the meeting hall of the fortress.
The momentary feeling of weightlessness flashed by, and when Lei Xiao's vision became clear again, he had already come to a mountainside with a wide view.
"Okay, Jiang Li doesn't need to teleport, let's go straight ahead, and just take a look at the city and folklore of the Holy Night Kingdom."
Lei Xiao looked at the mountains and rivers shrouded in mist ahead, and nodded to his subordinates.
According to the information from Dean, the army led by the Saintess of the Moon Temple is currently near Kelly City, an important town in the west of the Holy Night Kingdom. According to the normal carriage journey, it is about ten days away from the Mountain Fortress.
But if you march quickly, you can reach the mountain fortress in five days.
Of course, for the extraordinary Lei Xiao and his party, it would be a three-hour journey at most, and this is still in an environment where they are not very familiar with the topography of the holy night.
In addition, although Lei Xiao had to go deep into the enemy camp this time, Lei Xiao did not bring Bai Wei and other third-level subordinates, so he did not have a mount to use for the time being.
But after Lei Xiao was promoted to the fourth-tier powerhouse, both his own speed and the energy reserves in his body were no longer what they used to be, and with the help of the power of the gods, he was enough to keep up with the speed of other subordinates.
"In the process of moving forward, I can also become more proficient in using the energy in my body and combining the power of the gods, which can be regarded as a special kind of cultivation."
As Lei Xiao thought about it, he began to advance rapidly surrounded by his subordinates.
The front of the team is led by Erza, who knows the Holy Night Kingdom the most, so it is naturally not a problem to reach the destination smoothly.
Accompanied by a gust of wind and lightning, after passing through several small fortresses and barracks of the Holy Night Army, Lei Xiao soon came to the long-lost town of Yaxiang.
I saw that the tranquility of the past has been restored here, and the houses destroyed by the war have also been repaired. The fields are busy with watering, and the windmills in the suburbs are running. It looks like it is thriving.
"I remember when I came here for the first time, it was still a mess. It is completely different from the current scene. It really makes people feel like a world away."
While Lei Xiao sighed, he didn't stop, but continued to walk towards the hinterland of the Holy Night Kingdom.
Although the Holy Night Kingdom has many fortresses and military camps in this area, the defense is extremely tight.
But for Lei Xiao and others whose strength is above the fourth level and who have an invisibility cloak, it is no different from being in vain.
After about half an hour, the road under our feet became more and more flat. After Lei Xiao and his party passed several fortresses and villages and towns, a large city at the foot of the mountain appeared in front of them.
At a glance, this city is solid and deep, surrounded by horses and horses, and its scale is by no means inferior to Gelin City and Fanyin City.
"My lord, this is the important border town of Sally Fort in the Holy Night Kingdom. It is a fortress city integrating military and mineral resources."
Erza's crisp introduction sounded in Lei Xiao's ears: "As long as you pass through here, you have truly entered the hinterland of the western part of the Holy Night Kingdom."
"It seems that we are getting closer and closer to our destination."
Lei Xiao withdrew his observing gaze, nodded to the subordinates beside him and said, "Go ahead."
Afterwards, the field of vision of Lei Xiao and his group began to widen, and soon they completely left the mountain area and came to an endless emerald green plain.
I saw that the business roads here are criss-crossed, and sometimes long caravans and mercenaries escorting pass by, which looks quite prosperous.
"My lord, the overall strength of the Holy Night Kingdom is almost equal to that of Leng Yan, and it is indeed a very good opponent."
Ariel's crisp voice came to Lei Xiao's ears through the words: "But the difference from the Cold Flame Kingdom is that, except for the Moon Palace, which occupies half of the country, all the upper echelons of the Holy Night Kingdom are dominated by noble families. The other nobles can only be attached to a few big families, except for their respective fiefdoms, they have almost no right to speak."
"It's a bit interesting. This is indeed completely different from the three giants of Lengyan who just made a fortune silently in their respective fiefs."
While chasing after the wind and electricity, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and then asked: "The main point of conflict in the holy night is not between the old and the new nobles, but between the ordinary nobles and the nobles, right?"
"Your lord really hit the nail on the head."
Ariel's soft and reverent voice came again: "The aristocratic and wealthy families of the holy night have power over the government and the public, and even change their orders day and night, making some laws that are only beneficial to their own fiefdoms, which has attracted complaints from other middle and low-level nobles."
"As far as I know, in the history of the Holy Night Kingdom, there have even been several occasions when the middle and low-level nobles united and directly fought each other, but in the end they all ended without a problem under the mediation of the royal family. fishy."
Ariel's voice gradually became a little suspicious: "But the Holy Night royal family mostly ignores this situation. Almost every king has allowed these big families to do whatever they want, and rarely intervene."
"It's because the Moon Palace is in it to check and balance."
Lei Xiao smiled lightly, and solved the puzzlement in Ariel's heart: "As Ersha said, the duty of the Moon Palace is to fulfill the promise of the Dark Elf Queen and maintain the rule of the Holy Night royal family. There is no need to worry about a few giants taking over the host."
"In addition, although I don't know the specific situation of the Holy Night Palace, it is conceivable that the several giants must also check and balance each other, and you come and go secretly. Hitman group grows."
Lei Xiao's gaze was as bright as a torch, and he continued: "And each Holy Night King only needs to balance the relationship between these three while ensuring the interests of the royal family. To a certain extent, this is comparable to directly governing all It is much more convenient for nobles."
"I completely understand, it turns out that this is the case..."
Ariel's voice suddenly became enlightened, and then rang out: "It seems that this subordinate still has a lot to learn from the lord."
"I just said it casually, it's not a big deal."
After chasing the wind and electricity, Lei Xiao, whose whole body was covered by an energy shield, smiled and said, "Ariel, the most important thing is that you must be good at using your own mind to think clearly, so that you can truly see the essence of things."
The time spent on the road always flies by, and at noon, the outline of a city standing on the plain has slowly emerged on the horizon in the distance.
Along the ~Through the explanations of Ariel and Erza, Lei Xiao already has a preliminary understanding of the Kingdom of the Holy Night, which will undoubtedly be of great importance for the next meeting with the Holy Maiden Teresa of the Moon Palace , play a vital role.
"I hope things will go well. If the opponent does not agree to suspend the attack, I am afraid that everything will come to naught soon."
Lei Xiao looked at the increasingly clear city in the distance, and slowly took a deep breath.
"My lord, Kelly City is ahead. According to Dean's secret report, the Holy Night Army led by Teresa will carry out a supply here."
Ersha's solemn voice reached Lei Xiao's ears through the words: "From the time point of view, the other party should also arrive soon."
"It seems that the timing is just right."
Hearing the tension in Ersha's words, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, with a calm and powerful voice.
"Then let me have a good meeting for a while. What is so special about the Saintess Teresa of the Moon Palace who led a fierce army of 250,000 people?"
