Chapter 681: Territorial Offensive and Defensive War (Part 1)
Fifteen minutes ago, in the Shadow Forest, by the Shadow River.
"So, as long as you cross the river in the forest, you can reach the area where the Princess Keqing's territory is located?"
I saw a white knight in pure white knight armor at the front of the huge and well-organized formation, gazing at the rather turbulent 100-meter-wide river in front of him, and muttering to himself.
"There are mountains in the north and rivers in the west. Under the double barrier, and the forest itself is full of monsters, so that it is so inaccessible. For guys with some strength, it is really an excellent place to develop."
Mumbling to himself, the white knight wearing a fully enclosed white battle helmet said calmly to Jin Wen, the illusionist next to him: "Order, let the vanguard army start crossing the river, we must catch up with the succubus." Before the knights captured Kongqing Town, they razed the princess Keqing's territory to the ground."
"White Knight, I'm afraid there is something wrong with crossing the river in such a hurry?"
Hearing the extremely firm voice of the white knight, he turned into a gentle young man wearing glasses with brocade pattern, frowned and said, "It's not too late to make plans until the scattered scouts have reported all the surrounding terrain."
"I also know your concerns, but time is already extremely tight. Even if the princess Keqing has set up some kind of trap, it can't stop the footsteps of our three legions. It's just a mantis holding back the car."
The white knight waved his hand casually, and responded: "Besides, the Princess Keqing's subordinates obviously have a very good elite combat force. Those scouts didn't see each other's figure at all, and they were harvested one after another. This brought the investigation to a standstill."
"The most important thing is that once the Nightmare Knights capture Kongqing Town first, we will be in a very passive position."
After finishing speaking, the white knight waved his hand and ordered to Jinwen: "Okay, tell the vanguard army to prepare to cross the river. This army is the most elite. There are a large number of heavy infantry and elite magician troops holding anti-magic shields. All kinds of traps."
"Understood, I'm going to deliver the order."
Jin Wen, who knew the White Knight's stubborn character well, didn't say any more, just turned and left.
As for Jin Wen, who is a master of illusion, the white knight has already arranged for the mission in this territorial attack.
That is, the sheep made a phantom army and attacked the territory first, so as to test Lei Xiao's depth.
Moreover, in the direction of the non-main attack, a large number of phantom soldiers were also transformed into illusions and realities, which made Lei Xiao burnt out and had to divide his troops to defend the four directions at the same time.
Of course, these are subject to change according to the situation, and there are many prepared plans.
For example, stealth a force of elite soldiers, or simply transform into a dream knight and an army of undead, sheep to form a joint posture to increase the pressure and morale of Lei Xiao's soldiers, and so on.
After a while, after Jinwen conveyed the order to cross the river to the commander of the vanguard army.
The commander of the Vanguard Corps, who could not wait to make contributions, and the lord of Giant Rock City, Earl Cornel, immediately signaled for a squadron of earth magicians on standby to start using bridge-building techniques.
Neat and loud chants sounded, accompanied by the constantly rotating earth-yellow magic circles, stretched out in front of the magicians, and then merged into a giant magic circle.
Not long after, a large number of deep and heavy earth magic energy particles surged crazily.
A rather majestic earth magic bridge seemed to grow out of thin air, gradually spanning the 100-meter-wide rushing magic river.
"Fearless warriors of Giant Rock City, we are waiting for the opportunity to make contributions!"
I saw Cornel, who was in heavy armor, raised the sharp long-handled ax in his hand, and said with a murderous look on his face: "Take down the territory of the princess Keqing, don't let go of any disobedient rebels, kill them all! "
"Follow orders! The giant rock strikes, not a single blade of grass grows!"
Hearing Cornell's voice, the soldiers of the Pioneer Legion who were eager to fight one by one, with killing intent on their faces and sharp knives in their hands, immediately followed the queue and began to step up to the Magic Bridge one by one.
At the same time, on the other side of the Shadow River, within Lei Xiao's territory.
With two moons in the sky, Lei Xiao, accompanied by several commanders including Ariel and Rogge, climbed up the city wall on the west side of the territory, narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.
If the white knight led an army, it would naturally appear in this direction first.
"Of course, in order to reach the territory smoothly, the white knight needs to deal with an army under my command that appeared out of thin air."
Looking at the end of the quiet forest, Lei Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, outlining a firm and awe-inspiring smile.
At this moment, Lei Xiao's words, which had been kept flowing, sounded, and Bai Zhi's crisp voice came: "My lord, the vanguard army of the White Knights has finished building the bridge and started to cross the Demon Shadow River!"
"knew."
Lei Xiao was full of energy, and immediately ordered: "Bai Zhi, Orson, take back your elite soldiers scattered nearby, and quickly return to the defense territory. As for the guards near the upstream embankment, they will stand by at the predetermined safe place."
"Obey! Your lord!"
The voices of the two third-tier squadron commanders immediately came together.
"The first act after the prelude is finally about to be staged."
After the two quickly gathered the soldiers, Tang Na from Chijian Town downstream also heard the news that the evacuation had been completed. The smile on Lei Xiao's face grew stronger, and he ordered: "Zhuqi, you can start to move."
"Obey! Your lord!"
On the other end of the conversation, Zhu Qi, who was at the dam in the upper reaches of the Demon Shadow River, heard the voice of eagerness to try.
boom!
clatter...
Accompanied by a loud noise, the sound of a large number of turbulent waves crashing on the shore was continuously passed into Lei Xiao's ears.
"White Knight, since you have arrived at my door, then I, the owner of the house, naturally can't be neglected, and accept my first wave of gifts first."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself.
"Hahaha, in front of His Royal Highness, the opportunity to perform has finally come!"
Accompanied by the sound of orderly and heavy footsteps, Cornell was the first to bear the brunt, leading his most elite heavy infantry, advancing aggressively on the Magic Bridge.
"An outsider who is as humble as an ant dares to challenge my authority of Leng Yan's traditional aristocrats. I am really overwhelmed! These guys who only beg for mercy, the city lord has recently killed them by himself."
The sharp long-handled ax in Cornell's hand flashed a cold light, and he said in his heart: "You lowly alien, or some kind of **** princess Ke Qing, let me, Lord Cornell, the owner of the giant rock city, come and send it to you personally." Sing the funeral song of the end."
Just when Cornell, who was full of hostility, had just led the team to be the first to cross the bridge.
Mutation happened.
Without any warning, the sound of rushing water from far to near suddenly reached his ears through the fully enclosed heavy armor worn by Cornell.
"What movement?"
Cornel, who was standing on the bridge, was taken aback, and subconsciously looked to his left, which was the direction from which the sound of rushing water came.
Different from the sound of the rushing water under the feet, the sudden sound of the water flow is obviously more powerful, like a berserk beast, rushing towards here.
Because all this happened too suddenly, Cornell didn't wait for a reaction.
The hurried and anxious voice of the white knight came one after another: "It's a water attack! Cornell, quickly lead the team forward at full speed, there are no soldiers on the bridge behind, retreat with me! The elite magician squadron on standby, immediately Cast barrier spells to prevent the waves from spreading!"
"What... what?!"
When Cornell reacted, he was still in sight on the left hand side, and a monstrous wave with unstoppable power and countless trees uprooted by the water had already appeared on this increasingly In front of the terrified Giant Rock City Lord.
In the blink of an eye, the beast under the cover of the night roared and swallowed Cornell and the soldiers who were caught off guard on the bridge.
As for the soldiers of the Vanguard Legion who were preparing to get on the bridge on the bank, although they had already retreated in a panic under the call of the white knight, the speed at which these soldiers fled in panic obviously couldn't keep up with the speed of the huge waves.
All of a sudden, a large number of soldiers whose eyes were filled with panic and killing intent had not dissipated were caught in the huge waves, and they didn't even have time to struggle.
As for the mages who were about to concentrate on casting spells, before they could release the magic barrier, they were also swept by the huge waves. Those tiny figures, ups and downs in the huge waves, quickly disappeared along the river.
During this process, many soldiers even directly crashed into the big trees mixed in the waves, and either passed out or died on the spot.
Under the moonlit night, until the huge waves swallowed up the most elite vanguard army, the momentum gradually slowed down, leaving only the screams and panic of the soldiers, which echoed in the huge forest for a long time.
Needless to say, the fate of these traditional aristocratic infantry who are mostly wrapped in heavy armor or plate armor can be imagined.
So far, this traditional aristocratic army, which was full of murderous aura and had not yet begun to kill, was destroyed by Lei Xiao's extra army out of thin air.
"My lord, the White Knight, the vanguard army led by Earl Cornell has almost completely lost its ability to fight!"
Not long after, a young scout with a panicked face and half of his body wet with water appeared in front of the white knight scrambling.
"Back off."
The white knight's tone was indifferent, and he waved his hand casually.
However, judging from the increasingly intense coercion surrounding the white knight, it is obvious that he is already in a state of extreme anger.
Facing the sudden huge wave just now, if he hadn't opened the energy barrier in time to divert a considerable part of the impact, the loss would have been even more serious.
And the one standing beside the white knight, dressed in a gentle youth with a brocade pattern, still had a shocked expression on his face.
Judging from such a huge amount of water, it is obvious that Your Excellency Ke Qing's damming and releasing of water was definitely not a one-day effort.
"It's no wonder that Your Majesty Keqing had an expression of certainty last night. In addition to Cornell's legion just now, there are already three legions in a row, and they fell directly into his hands, right?"
"This is still under the circumstance that I haven't even seen its territory, if you count the cavalry legion that provoked the White Knight and the Dream Knight to fight..."
Jin Wen took a deep breath, the shock on his face became more intense, and he muttered to himself in his heart: "I have to say, this young man from another world really has some ruthless methods of thunder."
Just when Jin Wen was amazed at this point in his heart.
Only listening to the white knight at the side, Dan Dan asked: "Have the army behind Luo Tuo followed up?"
Hearing what the white knight said, Jin Wen immediately nodded and responded, "That's right, I've followed."
"Very well, let's move on."
The white knight's voice was still as calm as water, and he said, "I will definitely make that Princess Keqing pay a heavy price."
After speaking, the white knight walked in the front on his own.
"It seems that the white knight is really angry now."
Looking at the background of the White Knight gradually going away, Jin Wen didn't say any more, but followed in silence.
Jin Wen quickly followed the pace of the white knight, while thinking to himself: "I have seen this kind of killing intent hidden in extreme anger before on the white knight several times."
"Every time he appeared in the past, his opponents did not end well, even the powerhouses of the fifth rank. I wonder if Your Excellency, Ke Qing, can resist this endless anger this time?"
Jin Wen supported the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and continued to think: "You know, there are so many trump cards in the hands of the white knight, and even my old friend doesn't know how many terrible tricks it hides. "
"In the face of the white knight's endless anger, I don't know how Your Excellency Keqing will respond? Regardless of other things, the traditional nobles this time are really prepared, especially in terms of tough battles."
When the fat Roto and Clooney led the rear army and approached the Shadow River again, they were stunned by the sight in front of them.
I saw a mess on the river bank, a large amount of sand, mixed with branches and leaves, and even the corpses of soldiers half buried in the sand were everywhere, which was shocking to see.
Both of them had already heard about the matter of the vanguard army crossing the river and being attacked by water.
In addition to the fear, the two greasy and fat faces coincided with each other, showing a faint sternness.
On the one hand, they hoped to besiege the Dream Demon Knight Legion of Kongqing Town, which also suffered heavy losses. On the other hand, they naturally expected that they would be able to destroy the princess Ke Qing with their own hands.
Now that the vanguard army that went deep into the forest has been ~, their rear army can undoubtedly become the main force to attack the territory.
"Clooney, you really have a crow's mouth, but I like it."
Thinking of this, a hint of hostility immediately appeared on Luo Tuo's fat face, and he said with a grin: "It seems that the head of the princess Ke Qing will definitely fall into the hands of the city lord."
"Hey, that's natural."
Clooney obviously didn't expect that his usual glib tongue could be so accurate.
I saw that he swallowed a mouthful of spit, then nodded and bowed again and again: "In front of Lord Luo Tuo, the territory of the princess Keqing is naturally vulnerable. It looks like it."
After the two finished talking, they smiled slyly and led the soldiers who were equally murderous under their command to successfully cross the magic bridge that was rebuilt on the river bank.
Then, together with another infantry regiment in front, under the command of the white knight, they marched towards the depths of the Shadow Forest.
