Chapter 649 The Mysterious Commander
When the elite soldiers who were full of fighting spirit disbanded, Lei Xiao gathered all the subordinates and commanders of the main force into the hall of the lord's mansion.
"Old General Burt, what happened to the list?"
He nodded to the white-haired veteran standing respectfully in the lower seat, and Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne, asked first.
This is the important thing that Lei Xiao thought about just now.
Only by figuring out the true colors of the mysterious commanders of the First Prince's faction and the Second Prince's faction, can they better deal with the upcoming war.
"Back to the lord, it has been completed."
Burt bowed to salute, and immediately stepped forward, and respectfully handed a roll of parchment to Lei Xiao.
After receiving the parchment handed over by the other party, Lei Xiao unrolled the scroll, and two parts, one left and one right, were neatly and powerfully written in common characters of all human nations.
Lei Xiao is no stranger to this kind of writing.
When Lei Xiao entered Kongqing Town for the first time, and saw these words that looked like a combination of graphics and characters for the first time.
The meaning of each word and the meaning of the combined phrase, and even the related slang words, are very magical, they automatically emerge from Lei Xiao's mind, and he can even write them proficiently.
By checking the chat channel in his spare time, Lei Xiao learned more about it.
Not only myself, but all other world lords can do this.
Only now did Lei Xiao learn that at the beginning of time travel, the basic knowledge flooded into his mind included this common language of the human race.
Of course, it was limited to this. For example, Lei Xiao was completely at a loss for the ancient elf characters he saw in the light elf dungeon next to Shen Banxia's territory.
On the slightly yellowed parchment, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully as he looked at the two rows of names, positions, and power ranks listed by Burt.
The many names above, I have heard Ariel and others more or less mentioned, each of them has considerable attainments in military affairs, and most of them are high-ranking nobles who serve as military attaches in the Lengyan Palace .
Whether it's the first prince's camp or the second prince's camp, the first few names are even more well-known in the Lengyan Kingdom.
It was the other four kingdom generals who were on par with the giant ax general Bert, the holy light general Jubai, the fortress general Bailao, and the magic guide general Wu.
"The first prince is under the command of Cavalry General Sion and the Demon Hunter General Skaar, while the second prince is under the command of the heavy artillery general Julius and the sharp arrow general Yarvi..."
Nodding his head while pondering, Lei Xiao continued to think.
"At the beginning, the generals of the four kingdoms hadn't shown their signs yet. As the battle between the three princes intensified, several people appeared one after another on the battlefields inside and outside the capital."
"The latest information shows that their loyalty to their masters has almost reached the point of fanaticism, and they have continued their masters' desperate and cruel practices, becoming loyal pawns."
"Perhaps this is the so-called bird of a feather flocking together. When the old king was in power, due to the majesty of the king, the true nature of these people had not yet been revealed, but now it is clearly revealed."
Staring at the words on the parchment, Lei Xiao couldn't help taking a deep breath.
According to Bert and Jubai, who are both generals of the kingdom, it was mainly because of the exclusion of these four people that they were kept on the fringes of the royal family, and even other subordinates in the legion also suffered unreasonably Scorned and even beaten.
But what is certain is that the military talents of these four people should not be underestimated, and they all came from top aristocratic families, and they have huge staff groups provided by their respective families.
This kind of luxurious configuration is obviously not comparable to Bert and Jubai, who are weak and only rely on their military exploits to advance.
"Then again, the more quarrelsome these people are, the more I can show the kindness of Ariel who I support, and naturally, the prestige of Ariel will increase greatly, and the more I can Quickly control the entire cold flame."
"This huge kingdom established by the pioneer traveler Wang Xi six hundred years ago should also be reshuffled in my hands."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly, and continued to say in his heart: "Let's go through this difficult time first, and if in the end, I end up being the worst, the worst beating." , that would be ridiculous."
Pulling his thoughts back to reality, Lei Xiao's dark eyes moved, and then focused on the name, or code name, "White Knight" at the top of the eldest prince's faction.
"About this mysterious fifth-level powerhouse in the physics department, I have asked Ariel, Burt, and Jubai carefully."
"I learned that this guy came from a cold and declining noble family. It is said that he is a descendant of a noble family in the Kingdom of Loren. Because of his extraordinary talent and strength, he was finally discovered by Ariel's father, so he was recruited." Entered the royal family and became Leng Yan's second fifth-rank powerhouse."
"After being recruited, the White Knight was extremely low-key, so there are only a handful of detailed information about him, including his name. We only know that in a certain war about the northern border, he once fought against a fifth-level powerhouse from another country. Under the joint attack of several fourth-tier powerhouses, they retreated completely, and took away the heads of two of the fourth-tier powerhouses."
Thinking of Ariel's expression of awe when she mentioned this guy, Lei Xiao couldn't help curling his lips.
It is not difficult to see from this that the strength of this white knight is obviously very good, and it can be regarded as one of the most powerful opponents besides the mysterious organization.
"In addition, although the second prince's faction does not have fifth-tier powerhouses, the number of fourth-tier powerhouses under his command is almost equal to that of the first prince. This is probably the reason why he has not been defeated by the first prince so far."
Lei Xiao's eyes continued to wander on the list, and he nodded thoughtfully.
"According to the information from the capital from various territories, although in the small-scale disputes inside and outside the capital, the faction of the eldest prince has the upper hand, making the second prince and the fourth prince often in a passive state. The number of traditional nobles in China is more."
"But as the battle situation continues to expand, the advantage of the eldest prince's faction is becoming less and less obvious. In addition, the second prince and the fourth prince are faintly huddled together for warmth, and the frustrated first prince is unwilling to show weakness. The fighting is intensifying."
Putting down the parchment in his hand, Lei Xiao recast his solemn gaze on the gray-haired veteran at the next seat, and asked, "Old General Burt, what commander do you think the eldest prince and the second prince are most likely to send?" Who is the officer?"
"Returning to Lord Lord, judging from this overall mobilization situation, the two princes obviously attach great importance to this battle, which means that the two will inevitably send their confidant generals."
Saluting Lei Xiao's chest, Bert stroked his short gray beard lightly, and responded, "So my subordinates believe that the four kingdom generals and the white knight are the most likely."
"Is that true? No matter which one, they are not opponents that can be easily dealt with."
Gently rubbing the parchment in his hand, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, his face became more serious.
During the offensive and defensive battle of the mountain fortress, facing the Red Devil, the famous general of the holy night who is as famous as the eight generals of Leng Yan, the opponent used many cards such as Ao Gu, the disappearing legion, and the Griffon Squadron one after another. Rules and regulations.
And what he is facing now will be at least two opponents of the same level. This shows that this is not counting the mysterious organization hidden in the dark.
"Forget it, I also have Burt and Jubai under my command, and with the many cards I have prepared one after another, at least on the bright side, I may not be at a disadvantage."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
Burt's old voice sounded again: "My lord, among these people, the white knight is the one you need to be most wary of."
After a pause, Bert added solemnly: "This guy's marching ability is no less than that of any general of the kingdom. Although he rarely shows up in public, judging from the few battles in the past few years, once he There is a strong enemy trying to get involved in Leng Yan, as long as he leads the army to fight, he will definitely deal a fatal blow to the enemy."
After finishing speaking, Bert swallowed involuntarily.
He briefly fought alongside the White Knight a few years ago.
The scene of this fifth-tier powerhouse wearing pure white knight light armor and a pure white closed battle helmet easily dispersed an enemy army by himself is still fresh in his memory.
"Is it the type of person who doesn't talk too much? It's interesting."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and looked at the two standing in the front row, Hu Zhang and Hong Ye. With these two fifth-level powerhouses by his side, he naturally wouldn't take the opponent's identity as a fifth-level powerhouse too seriously. inside.
Following Lei Xiao's gaze, when Bert also saw the burly knotweed and the slender orange-white, a look of excitement appeared on the old face.
Under the Lord Lord's command, there are two fifth-tier powerhouses, so naturally there is no need to be afraid of each other!
Sensing Bert's emotional changes, the other subordinates also showed excited expressions.
Noticing the gradually rising morale in the hall, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and continued to the next topic.
Next, Lei Xiao first confirmed the dam construction, which has been fully completed.
Then, I confirmed the current situation with the subordinates of the various territories, and learned that all the cities have made all preparations before the war, including possible marching routes and city defense matters.
Even the undead beast brigade summoned by Lina was in place, hidden in a hidden cave not far from the territory.
As for the Snow Wolf Clan three kilometers to the east of the territory, according to the plan, they have temporarily taken refuge in the territory, including five fully armed second-tier werewolf warrior squadrons, and four third-tier powerhouses including patriarch Shi Feng.
"Very good, everything seems to be in order."
After confirming all the matters, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and said to his subordinates: "Everyone, as I said just now, the opponent is certainly strong, but we are not a group of frost sheep waiting to be slaughtered, let us Take a good look, how many catties and taels of these high-ranking guys are there."
"Obey! Your lord! This subordinate is willing to go through fire and water for your lord!"
A uniform voice sounded, and all the subordinates in the lower position knelt down on one knee, and lowered their heads deeply to Lei Xiao.
After that, Lei Xiao didn't just sit and wait in the territory, but headed to Kongqing Town with most of the main subordinates.
At present, the territory has not been discovered by the opponent, and Kongqing Town is the opponent's primary target, so it is natural to defend it with all its strength, so that the opponent realizes that Kongqing Town is a tough piece of steel.
Only in this way, when the territory is discovered, as many enemy troops as possible can be restrained, so that the pressure on the territory can be reduced.
After all, from an overall point of view, Kongqing Town and the territory are like horns of each other.
If the enemy is going to launch a full-scale attack on the territory, they will inevitably allocate a considerable part of their troops to defend Kongqing Town, which has not been captured, so as to prevent our side from sending troops from Kongqing Town to attack the opponent's rear.
Arriving at Kongqing Town, where the city gates had already been closed and soldiers were standing on the towering walls, Lei Xiao, who joined Lin, Fang Hai, and Guanzhong, was the final preparation before starting the defense.
Since Kongqing Town itself has almost zero professional healing powerhouses, there are only two first-level holy light priest teams.
So a few days ago, Lei Xiao consciously hired a group of healing mercenaries from the surrounding area with exorbitant remuneration, and promised to only perform healing and not participate in battles.
Among them, there was a positive response from Master Bu Bo, who ranked first in the healing department of Kongqing Town and whose strength was at the second level and nine stars.
Especially the third in the healing department of Kongqing Town, the "friendly army" Master Xinshi, was the first to bear the brunt of it. Relying on his good prestige, he recruited many mercenaries from the healing department.
After getting the Tier 3 Staff from Lei Xiao, this guy has long been following Lei Xiao as his leader.
In the end, after Lei Xiao's operations, Kongqing Town's healing ~ expanded to the size of a squadron, including two third-tier powerhouses, plus Lei Xiao's prepared 3,000 first-order healing potions are enough to allow wounded soldiers to receive better treatment.
As for the thousand or so mercenaries in the city, they were already grateful to Lei Xiao because of Lei Xiao's reward mechanism and a series of city construction measures.
According to Guanzhong, whether it is the construction of the city defense or the stability of the city, most of these mercenaries are local mercenaries, and they have made considerable contributions, so they are all included in the city defense. reserve force.
"A garrison army of 6,000 people, 5 second-tier guard squadrons, 3 second-tier squadrons directly under my command, 2 second-tier princess guards, and a trade fair guard squadron, plus more than 1,000 mercenaries, this It is already close to the strength of a legion."
Under the bright sunshine, standing on the towering city wall of Kongqing Town covered with expensive anti-magic coatings, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and murmured in his heart: "Is the eldest prince's vanguard army coming soon? Let me Take a good look, do you have the ability to capture this corner of Kongqing Town?"
Just as Lei Xiao thought of this in his mind, on the distant horizon outside the city, dust was everywhere, and a menacing army was already rolling in with arrogant killing intent.
