Chapter 1178: The Lord's Deployment and the Creeping Shadow
As soon as Bert said this, the others all looked over with solemn faces, waiting for Lei Xiao's order.
"The current situation couldn't be more obvious."
Lei Xiao nodded to everyone and said seriously: "From all the signs, the other party has officially launched the long-planned dark plan, which means that we don't have much time left."
"And since the other party has taken the initiative to turn this place into a cage to trap us, it means that the core location of the other party's plan is not in this Huangyao City."
A hint of coldness flashed in Lei Xiao's eyes, and he continued: "So we only have one target left."
"Is it the other party's old nest, the Holy City of Glory City?"
Catherine hugged her arms and frowned, saying: "Although the final goal is exactly the same as the planned plan, the current situation is unexpected."
After Catherine said this, everyone clenched their fists tightly, with solemn expressions on their faces.
"The current situation is indeed unexpected, but it will only increase our determination to deal with the enemy."
Lei Xiao nodded to everyone and encouraged: "Since the opponent has trapped us here, it means that they are not sure of defeating us completely."
"In other words, as long as we have not given up, the dawn of victory is still ahead."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, the solemnity on everyone's faces eased a little, which obviously played a significant role.
However, despite saying so on the surface, Lei Xiao knew it clearly in his heart.
From the current point of view, the opponent's combat power this time is actually relatively limited. The "rebels" and those ancient monsters did not play at all. They just used the hidden dungeons to divide our combat power and tried to defeat them one by one.
This led to 50 normal legions and 30 summoned legions being hit and falling into the opponent's trap one after another.
What's more, Huangyao City is not the opponent's base camp, and the target Huiguang City has been closed for a hundred years. No one knows what the mysterious existence did during this period of time.
"But no matter what, as I have always said, we have no way to retreat."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao said again: "Well, it's time for us to completely end the huge threat to the human world."
"Your Highness is right. Now we are the only hope to stop all this."
Catherine agreed with Lei Xiao's words without hesitation, and echoed: "My soldiers and I will always stand with Your Highness!"
"Me too!"
Lawrence also stood up immediately and said seriously: "As long as Your Highness gives an order, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Grim will never sit and wait for death!"
After Lawrence finished speaking, the veteran White also stood behind him and nodded heavily.
Seeing that the determination of the two allies was not shaken at all, our generals were excited and rubbed their hands, looking like they were boiling with fighting spirit.
"But Your Highness, there are more than 20 affiliated cities of the Holy Temple of Light guarding the Glowing City, and according to intelligence, these cities are all covered by absolute defense barriers, with high morale, and can be described as impregnable, which is completely different from the fragile defense line of the Kingdom of Grimm."
Ju Bai stepped forward, touched his chest and saluted, saying: "If we attack one by one, it will probably take a long time. After all, there are not only the Holy Knights of the Holy Temple of Light guarding the temple, but also a large number of bewitched residents, who can easily become puppets controlled by the other party."
Hearing this, the generals frowned. This is indeed a big problem, which will undoubtedly greatly slow down our progress.
While we are entangled with these cities, I am afraid that the opponent's dark plan has been completed long ago.
"Who said we have to care about these small fish?"
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, his eyes were like torches, and he said: "We will directly descend in front of the opponent's lair and catch them off guard."
Needless to say, the direct descent mentioned by Lei Xiao is naturally to use the "Ice Stone City" for instant teleportation.
As long as the Ice Stone City stands directly in front of the Glowing City, everything will be solved naturally.
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, although most of the people present did not know what means Lei Xiao would use, they were still excited and nodded heavily.
"But before that, we still have a few things to do."
Lei Xiao snapped his fingers lightly and began to deploy.
The first thing is to completely control the Huangyao City in front of us.
Under the premise of accidentally awakening the ancient old king, the underground city below is actually equivalent to being controlled by our side. With the cooperation of the old king, we naturally don't have to worry about disappearing suddenly.
After Lei Xiao's deployment, Lawrence and White, the surrendered generals of Grimm, quickly started the action. In addition, the old king successively teleported the soldiers and the remaining residents up, and everything went very smoothly.
The only thing that was somewhat unexpected was that Lei Xiao originally planned to let Lawrence and White persuade the remaining 20 legions left in the palace to surrender. As a result, when Lawrence and others hurriedly arrived, they accidentally discovered this.
The 20 legions had also disappeared long ago, leaving only the nobles and their families who stayed behind huddled in the corners and shivered.
In addition, it didn't take long for the entire Grimm Kingdom, including the palace in the center of the city, to be in Lei Xiao's possession.
Surrounded by White and other Grim generals, as well as Lawrence's nobles and cronies, and with Lei Xiao's instructions, Prince Yaoguang Lawrence was officially crowned king without stopping, becoming the new generation of Holy King of the Kingdom of Grim.
At this point, Lei Xiao has fulfilled his promise, his plan to support Lawrence has come to a perfect end, and the entire Kingdom of Grim has been successfully integrated into Lei Xiao's territory.
Because he was busy with other things, Lei Xiao was almost not involved in the whole process, and just let several main subordinates assist Lawrence in controlling everything.
During this process, Lei Xiao notified Qin Qian and others by the way, and asked them to start preparing to gather the lords with the talent of territorial teleportation, so as to transfer the trapped lords to a safe gathering place of lords such as Tel Town as soon as possible.
Of course, before the transfer officially begins, Lei Xiao will also start to lift the curse of the trapped lords, assuming that the mysterious existence can be successfully defeated.
The second thing is to regroup the troops in hand.
Currently, we still have 50 legions in Huangyao City, including Catherine's 30 legions, our 20 main legions (including 30 main legions and 20 ordinary legions), as well as the 10 newly surrendered Grimm legions.
In addition to the 10 main half-elf legions and 10 half-elf reserve legions of the Zhuyue Clan in "Ice Stone City", the scale of only 80 legions is obviously still a bit stretched.
Therefore, the first force Lei Xiao assembled was the 20 main troops of our side who stayed in Liuguang Fortress.
This legion is dominated by the Yorkman family and includes the strongest cavalry force in the Cold Flame Kingdom. Its combat power is quite impressive.
The second force Lei Xiao assembled was 50 legions from the Green Kingdom, including 30 main legions and 20 ordinary legions.
During this period of time, with Lei Xiao's full support and Eckhart's efforts, this country of horses and eagles has basically stabilized, and the dimensional storm has also been greatly controlled.
Under Eckhart's leadership, the Green Kingdom quickly assembled a huge combat force. Together with the remaining troops who had previously invaded the Kingdom of Grim, they finally had a new force of 50 legions.
And with the stealth and teleportation functions of "Ice Stone City", it is easy to quietly gather these troops together.
As a result, the available troops in Lei Xiao's hands reached the scale of 150 legions again.
As for the third thing, Lei Xiao personally came to gather some neutral forces. Since it was not yet certain whether these forces could become friendly forces, we left it aside for the time being.
All in all, after Lei Xiao's series of operations, our strength quickly reached an extremely impressive level again.
Just when Lei Xiao was preparing non-stop for the decisive battle.
At the other end of the vast Grimm Plains, the faint holy light of the huge ancient capital of Glow City was quietly dissipating, replaced by an inexplicable aura of hostility that was difficult to detect.
Under the dark night, this holy place, known as the light in the night, which represents holiness and purity, is slowly merging with the darkness.
The thick fog still shrouded every corner of the city, covering everything tightly, mysterious and strange, like a giant beast that was about to explode in the dark.
And in the foggy core area of the Holy City, where the main hall of the Temple of Light is located, this filth that was originally difficult to detect seems to have completely revealed its true colors and is covering the entire city.
In the deepest part of the dark hall, gloomy and wild laughter was echoing unbridled.
The candlelights lit everywhere on the ground swayed crazily, reflecting various strange and powerful figures exuding majestic momentum.
These figures are divided into two rows. One row is the strong men of the Black Abyss Brotherhood wearing black robes and white strange masks, while the other row is wearing luxurious crimson and white robes and controls the authority of the Temple of Light. of bishops.
The two were supposed to be incompatible, but now they were like close brothers, allowing each other's laughter to become even more crazy and unbridled.
Whether it is the dark cheeks hidden behind the mask, or the cheeks full of kindness on the surface, they are all distorted and deformed at this moment, extremely forbidding and unpredictable.
At the top of the two rows of figures, a burly humanoid silhouette was leaning on the throne, just like a strange statue. It was the mysterious being wearing the appearance of Ganelon IX.
"As expected of the Supreme Lord, he easily activated the long-distance teleportation circle and teleported us back!"
I saw that Gusta was still wearing the luxurious bishop's attire, and said with a smile on his face: "By the way, I also brought back some small sacrifices, which will definitely speed up the progress of the "Holy Plan." "
"It's just connected to the previously deployed space beacon. It's no big deal."
The mysterious being waved his hand gently and said calmly: "Originally, I planned to trap you there with those ants. If you hadn't successfully used illusion to control those ant soldiers, you would have made up for it. I am I will never leave you until now.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, and praise Your Majesty for your kindness!"
Hearing the sound, Gusta trembled in his heart and quickly knelt down and said: "Thanks to the Supreme Lord's personal intervention, those ants were trapped there. I'm afraid that despicable alien scum is now so anxious that he peed his pants, right? Jie Jie Jie!”
"You're right. That ancient underground city is impregnable. The alien actually fell into the trap in the end. It's really laughable!"
A Brotherhood strongman whose blood-marked mask did not have a number engraved on it, with a stern face hidden behind the mask, echoed: "By the time he reacted, we had already purified everything and welcomed the new world. He is really a very stupid guy!"
"That's right, those other alien ants struggling to death in the underground city will end up like him!"
"No, his end will be even worse. He will watch with his own eyes that everything he has will become the nutrients for us to enter the new world, and then he will be turned into dust by us in despair and fear!"
A group of bizarre figures echoed and laughed wildly again.
"It is currently the critical stage of the implementation of the "Sacred Plan". We must not let down our guard before the plan is fully completed."
The voice of the mysterious existence sounded, and said lightly: "Do you understand what I mean? "
As the mysterious being finished speaking, a wave of energy with a strong sense of oppression suddenly surged out, making the hall quiet instantly.
After a while, Gusta asked cautiously: "Supreme Lord, are you saying that the despicable scum from the other world may come to interfere with our "Sacred Plan"? "
At this point, Gusta said in disbelief: "With the means of those despicable aliens and blood-sucking insects, it is impossible to break through the blockade of the underground city."
"Don't forget that ant has caused us a lot of trouble."
The mysterious being snorted coldly and said lightly: "Give orders to strengthen the defense around the Glowing City and don't give those ants any chance to take advantage of it."
"Strengthen the defense around the Holy City? Even if it escapes from the underground city by chance, it is impossible for it to arrive here before the "Sacred Plan" is completed. "
Gustaf had a puzzled look on his face, and blurted out: "There are more than 20 heavily guarded cities around the Holy City. Can the alien ants fly over?"
After Gustaf finished speaking, the other black-robed people and priests also showed a trace of doubt and began to look at each other.
It is not difficult to see from the confused and contemptuous eyes that no one believed that Lei Xiao could come to the city of Huiguang and cause any trouble here.
"It is always right to be prepared."
The mysterious existence's voice was indifferent, and he said: "Do you want to disobey my orders?"
"I dare not! "
Hearing the sound, all the enemy warriors knelt on the ground, their faces full of panic."
"Very good, get ready."
The mysterious existence grinned in a strange arc, and said with expectation: "I should also go to see how the plan is progressing."
After that, accompanied by a flash of black light, the mysterious existence disappeared in an instant, leaving only an empty black and gold throne.
