Chapter 1072: The lord's inspection and the long-lost reunion
Latest website: Facing the bright sunshine in the early morning, Lei Xiao followed his usual practice and returned to the royal capital after completing the matters related to the territory.
During this process, Lei Xiao also handed over the affairs of the lord's army to Qin Qian, and our generals at the destination will take command and be mainly responsible for logistics support.
Although the total number of 10 legions is extremely limited and can almost be ignored, it is better than nothing. It is not a big problem to be responsible for some simple supply transportation and security work behind the fortress.
At the same time, Lei Xiao also arranged for the backbone of the remaining troops in each city to form large or small coaching groups to focus on training the nearby lords of the Xiaoshen Regiment, trying to mobilize these forces to prepare for emergencies.
At this stage, with the active assistance of Qin Qian and others, almost all the lords in the Lengyan Kingdom have joined the Xiaoshen Regiment, making the Xiaoshen Regiment even larger in size and more tightly organized.
Of course, all of this is under Lei Xiao's control, and is cross-monitored by a total of 500 subordinates, including members of the Shadow Squadron and Communication Magician Squadron, as well as the local city lord.
Once the crisis of national annihilation is successfully overcome, Lei Xiao will also dispatch a larger supervision team to ensure that there will be no mistakes.
As for the other forces in the territory, including the two surrendered races, Lei Xiao finally decided to stay in the territory after careful consideration to prevent his opponents from trying to harm the territory.
After all, the territory is Lei Xiao's own lifeline, and there must be no mistakes.
In addition, for the three cities of Kongqing Town, Magnet Town and Mailan Town, which serve as territorial barriers, Lei Xiao also reserved a well-equipped and focused rapid response corps each to further increase the security of the territory.
Entering the King's Hall of Lion Castle, Lei Xiao noticed.
This place has been turned into a temporary office, and a group of ministers headed by Orr are assisting Ariel, who is at the top, to handle various government affairs in the kingdom.
Attendants carrying piles of documents and heavily armed messengers kept coming in and out, and the scene looked extremely tense.
Looking at the scene of people coming and going, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
It's no wonder that with the war approaching, even though he tried his best and took corresponding countermeasures.
But apart from sending the main force to the Sunset Fortress, nothing else has been made public, which will inevitably make everyone in the kingdom panic.
Fortunately, Orr had quickly spread the annihilation battle against Pars's army last night, which cheered up a lot inside and outside the palace and alleviated a considerable amount of tension.
"I hope that after tonight, everything will be more stable. The premise is that I can successfully block the steps of the five enemies who will destroy the country."
Lei Xiao's eyes were solemn, and while thinking this, he left the King's Hall after saying hello to everyone.
After that, Lei Xiao took several main subordinates to the mountain fortress in the east. Under the guidance of Bai Lao, he went to the location where the illusion magic circle was built.
After Erza's report in the morning, Lei Xiao couldn't wait to come here for a inspection.
"Your Highness, this is the boundary ahead."
On a platform on a mountain top shrouded in mist, Bai Lao saluted Lei Xiao while caressing his chest.
Following Bai Lao's gaze, Lei Xiao noticed.
As expected, this place is exactly as described on the sand table. It is a spacious and long canyon area, and it is also the only channel for the Kingdom of Holy Night to enter the mountain fortress.
Lei Xiao had been here once during the initial counterattack of the Mountain Fort Fortress.
"Lord, you are here!"
I saw Xiao Huan and Erza rushing over immediately, and they all saluted Lei Xiao with their chests pressed.
"No need to be polite."
Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly and began to further listen to the reports of the three people.
Currently, the phantom magic circle named "The Lost Path" has been fully put into use, covering the entire canyon, including the surrounding mountains and airspace, and no clues can be seen from the outside.
As long as someone tries to pass through this area, they will fall into a maze-like illusion according to our needs.
The reason why Xiao Huan and Erza can still move freely is because the magic circle is not yet in effect, and Xiao Ya, Mia and others can be on duty.
"Your Highness, according to the opponent's combat style, he will definitely send griffon knights and scouts on the ground to conduct double reconnaissance, and only after the vanguard has successfully crossed the canyon, the main force will follow."
Bai Lao gently stroked his gray beard and introduced Lei Xiao respectfully.
"Then how should we respond?"
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and asked curiously: "You can't let these guys go first, right?"
"Don't worry, Lord, my subordinates and others have already made a complete plan. We will never let go of any enemy who attempts to get involved in the Cold Flame Kingdom."
Erza and Xiao Huan looked at each other and smiled, and responded: "These scouts and vanguard are the first visitors to this "Lost Path". They thought they had successfully crossed the canyon, but in fact they were quietly trapped in the canyon." . "
"Understood, in this way, they will send back the news of safety, and we only need to wait for the army to take the bait."
Lei Xiao looked at the long canyon area below the mountain and nodded with satisfaction.
"Your Highness, after confirming that all enemy troops are trapped, what should the veteran do?"
The crisp sound of armor clashing sounded, and Bai Lao bowed and asked again.
"General Bai Lao does not need any special arrangements for the time being. He only needs to hold on to the mountain fortress."
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then ordered.
When chatting with Shirley at the ruins of the Phantom Clan Temple, Lei Xiao had already carefully understood the function of the "Lost Path".
This illusion magic circle does not have direct lethality, it just traps the opponent within it.
Therefore, before exhausting the opponent's food supplies and morale, we only need to wait for work, and then respond to changes according to the current situation by remaining unchanged.
"Yes, everything is based on the instructions of His Highness the Prince."
Bai Lao stroked his chest and saluted, and responded respectfully.
"Very well, then I'll leave this place to you."
After giving some more instructions to Mr. Bai and others, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and told everyone to go on their own.
After leaving the mountain fortress, Lei Xiao came to Luolong City again.
With the addition of five second-level alchemy puppet legions, and the royal demon hunting legion led by Benson who is about to return to take charge of the overall situation, the morale here can be said to be extremely high.
"Lord, after the arrival of the Lord's Legion and the subsequent recruit legions, the number of defenders in Luolong City has exceeded 200,000. Together with the Alchemy Puppet Legion and General Benson, no one in the city is afraid of the orc army anymore! "
As soon as Lei Xiao appeared in the lobby of the city lord's palace in Luolong City, Hongshi and other commanders immediately surrounded him with excited expressions on their faces.
"Very good. How is the defense situation inside and outside the city?"
Lei Xiao nodded to the commanders and asked casually.
"Back to the lord, my subordinates and others mobilized all their forces. They not only strengthened the city walls and painted anti-magic coatings all night long, but also deepened and widened the original trenches outside the city, and deployed a large number of magic traps, horse-proofing and deer villages. .
Lixia took a step forward and reported in a sassy tone: "Everything is going on in an orderly manner. At the same time, with the supply from the lord, the city has enough weapons and arrows, and is also equipped with a large number of catapults, which can greatly slow down the speed of the attack." The pressure of insufficient magic light crystals and magicians.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and then his expression became solemn: "Remember, although our alchemy puppet army is elite, what awaits Luolong City ahead will definitely be an arduous and **** battle. Please be careful. Dont be careless.
"As you command! Lord Lord!"
Lixia and other commanders touched their chests and saluted, saying in unison.
Under the watch of all the commanders, Lei Xiao, who inspected Luolong City, went to the next location without stopping, which was the Rainforest Fortress.
During this process, Lei Xiao also received two messages one after another.
First, after the Pars army suffered heavy losses last night, they have indeed become much more cautious. They will delay their arrival at Buluo Fortress for at least a day or two, which will make Buluo Fortress temporarily worry-free.
Second, Scarlet Queen Catherine sent 5,000 magic light crystals filled with magic power, which will undoubtedly greatly alleviate the pressure of insufficient magic power on our side.
"Catherine has been a big help this time. I have to thank him later."
Lei Xiao thought this as he appeared in the meeting hall of the Rainforest Fortress.
At this stage, with several other directions gradually becoming stable, whether Eckhart can successfully regain the Dark Green Throne and actively retreat the armies of each tribe has undoubtedly become the top priority at the moment.
Although Lei Xiao believed in the abilities of Huzhang, Nolan and others who were accompanying him, after thinking about it, it was safer to lead the people as backup in person.
"I've met the lord!"
As soon as Lei Xiao appeared, the white knights who were ready to go and Coulson, the head of the Yorkman family who was supported by Lei Xiao not long ago, came to greet him.
"Excuse me. What's the current situation of the Dark Green Land army?"
Lei Xiao waved his hand and asked the two of them.
"Back to Lord, the opponent's main force has set up camp 30 kilometers away from the Rainforest Fortress and is making final preparations before attacking the city!"
Colson's old face was full of solemnity as he stroked his chest and saluted Lei Xiao.
"I understand, this is a good opportunity for Eckhart to take action."
Lei Xiao gently rubbed his chin and nodded thoughtfully.
Just this morning, the crown prince of the Deep Green Land reported that the operation was going well.
At present, they have successfully contacted all his father's old subordinates secretly, and are preparing to finally expose Gena's regicide.
However, since the key figure, Commander-in-Chief Alger, has been forced to follow the actions of the Chinese army where Eric and Genna are located, there has been no opportunity for contact yet.
"Eckhart should have been in contact with Commander-in-Chief Alger now, right? As long as he tells him the truth, and then he, who has a high reputation among the tribes, takes the lead to suddenly attack the new king, everything will be safe."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and finally said to the white knight: "Well, just waiting is not my style, so let's go to the other side's camp."
Just as Lei Xiao started to take action, a large camp with dark green flags waving 30 kilometers away was a different scene.
"White, why did you bring me here?"
In a temporary stable outside the Chinese army camp, Alger frowned slightly and said to the resolute middle-aged general beside him: "The new king and Gena have many eyes and ears. Once they find that I am not in the tent, they will definitely If we have doubts, then our situation will be even worse."
"My lord, Commander-in-Chief Alger, there is a gentleman who wants to see you."
The face of the middle-aged general named White was full of excitement, and he said tremblingly to the old commander, "Who do you think that gentleman is?"
"We are the generals who command thousands of armies. What does it look like to look like this? Besides, there are no adults here..."
Alger first looked at White helplessly, and then followed his gaze.
When the old commander saw clearly the appearance of the person coming, his unfinished words stopped abruptly.
Appearing in front of him was Eckhart, whose breath was still a little weak.
"Your Highness?!"
This time, it was Alger's turn for his old voice to tremble.
The old commander's eyes widened and he walked forward with excitement on his face: "Your Highness, is it really you?"
"Yes, it's me. Being able to see the teacher again is like a dream."
Eckhart's face was also full of excitement and he nodded heavily.
"That's great. You're still alive. During the time you were gone, I really lived like a year."
The old commander's old face was filled with relief again, and he said tremblingly: "But they said that you have..."
"To be honest with you, teacher, it was that **** Gena who attacked me and almost killed me in the smoke-filled suburbs of Kelburg."
A hint of fear appeared in Eckhart's eyes, and he explained: "Thanks to the favor of that big shot, I was able to come to see the teacher in time."
"It's indeed Gena, I will never let that **** go!"
Alger clenched his fists, and then asked with confusion on his face: "Who is that big shot?"
"Teacher, now is not the time to talk about this. Once the war breaks out with the Cold Flame Kingdom, it will be a huge disaster for both countries."
Eckhart's eyes were covered with determination again, UU read www.uukanshu. com said seriously: "We must stop the army from invading the rainforest fortress as soon as possible!"
"Your Highness is right. The new king Eric has not yet secured his throne. This is the best time for His Highness to regain the throne!"
Alger immediately understood what Eckhart meant and said, "I am willing to sacrifice everything to ensure that His Highness can be successfully crowned king!"
"Teacher, thank you so much. I knew the teacher would definitely help me."
Looking at the determination in Alger's eyes, Eckhart's eyes began to turn slightly red.
However, just when everything was going very smoothly, a sparse round of applause suddenly sounded.
Immediately afterwards, a joking and cold voice came over: "It is really a touching reunion. It is a pity that you will die soon."
As the cold voice fell, the new king Eric, surrounded by Gena and a group of men in black robes, slowly walked towards Eckhart and Alger with a murderous look on his face.
