Chapter 1453 Calmness and Curiosity

On the magnificent walls of Ice Stone City, Lei Xiao frowned and began to think about the next countermeasures.

Since the crisis on the Desolate Fortress side has been resolved, only by gathering the forces of our side and the Desolate Sand Alliance can the dilemma of Yingming Fortress be resolved.

You know, Yingming Fortress is not only guarded by Jace, Chris, and Nar, but also by the human soldiers who have been carefully trained by themselves. Once the city is broken, they will undoubtedly suffer extremely huge losses.

Thinking of this, just when Lei Xiao was eager to communicate with Xina about this matter, the urgent voice prompt sounded suddenly.

Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao's forehead was immediately covered with sweat.

According to the information sent by Chris before, although the defense of Yingming Fortress is more solid, the crisis is far more serious than that of Desolate Fortress.

So much so that Jace and other ancient dark elves took the initiative to attack many times to attract the attention of the other party, which barely ensured that our absolute defense barrier did not collapse.

And now, the information came at this time. Could it be that Yingming Fortress has been breached?

While he was in a state of anxiety, Lei Xiao immediately connected the telepathy, and Chris's hurried and excited voice sounded.

"Report to the Lord, thanks to the efforts of Gray Old and his party, the army of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance has stopped attacking, and the crisis of Yingming Fortress has been successfully resolved!"

After hearing Chris's words, Lei Xiao was stunned at first, and then his face was full of excitement.

Although he sent Gray Old, Joniel, Lina and others to the Rainforest Fortress Alliance to investigate, he did not hold much hope. It was mainly to find out why the Rainforest Fortress Alliance would also send troops.

Unexpectedly, Gray Old and others lived up to expectations and performed far beyond his expectations!

"I understand. The crisis of the Desolate Fortress has also been resolved. I will come here after I finish dealing with things here. Before I arrive, tell the soldiers not to neglect it."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then closed the telepathy and looked down at the city.

Under the siege and bombardment of other forces in the Desert Alliance, the Moon Wolf camp has completely collapsed, and most of the remaining Moon Wolf soldiers have surrendered, and the battle is about to end.

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao turned to Xi Na beside him and smiled: "Your Excellency, Chief Huangsha, this time it is really thanks to your help."

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? If it weren't for your Majesty and the cats who risked their lives to rescue me, I would have been crushed by those Devouring Guards, and how could I stop the war here?"

Xi Na smiled and waved her hand slightly, saying: "So, Your Majesty is the key to turning the tide, and I am just a foil."

After a series of life and death tests, Xi Na looked at Lei Xiao with a little more trust and respect, and less vigilance and contempt.

"You are too polite, Chief. Everyone present here has contributed to our success and is equally important."

Lei Xiao said this as he left Ice Stone City with Sheena and began to clean up the mess.

Not long after, when the smoke cleared and the sky turned pale, the battlefield was completely at a standstill.

"Report to the Chief, the Moon Wolf Tribe has been captured, and Belinda's minions have surrendered!"

At the gate of the Desolate Fortress, Lannis saluted Sheena and reported: "As for Lucas, he has been blown to pieces, and his body has just been found!"

After that, Lannis looked at Lei Xiao beside Sheena with a look of gratitude and respect.

Just now, Lei Xiao had sent the masked Emily back to Lannis. After seeing that his daughter had received proper treatment and care, the cat tribe leader was grateful to Lei Xiao.

"It's really a good thing for him to die like this."

A hint of sternness flashed across Xina's beautiful eyes, and then she asked again: "Have you found any traces of the lich?"

"To reply to the leader, there is no discovery, but according to the surrendered soldiers of the Moon Wolf, traces of the lich were indeed seen in the army."

Lannis shook his head helplessly and responded: "I think those guys must have realized that the situation was not good, and then abandoned Lucas and ran away."

"This is indeed in line with the temperament of those bastards. They will never waste time on abandoned children, but their doomsday is coming soon."

Xina gritted her teeth and nodded heavily to Lei Xiao: "Your Majesty, we must eliminate the big trouble of the lich as soon as possible."

"That's what I mean. I will go to Yingming Fortress to communicate with the leader of the rain forest. At that time, the three of us will come to the city together and make the opponent completely disappear from this land."

Lei Xiao clenched his fists and nodded.

"I understand. I will go back to prepare. I can also deal with the alliance and the tribe."

Xina looked at the surrendered Moon Wolf and Gorgon soldiers, her voice as cold as ice.

"Then we'll see you later."

Lei Xiao looked at the hidden hostility on Xina's fair face, and said nothing else. After saying goodbye to Xina and others, he quickly came to Yingming Fortress through Ice Stone City.

"Your Majesty, you are here!"

As soon as Lei Xiao walked out of Ice Stone City, Chris, Nar, Gray Old and others immediately came to greet him.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Lei Xiao first nodded to everyone, and then looked around, only to see that except for the fact that the smoke from the battlefield had not completely dissipated, the Yingming Fortress had indeed returned to calm.

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao remembered something again and asked, "Where are Jace and the other ancient dark elves?"

"Back to Lord, just like what was said in the previous battle report, after the rainforest army besieged this place, the absolute defense barrier could no longer hold fast. General Jace and others repeatedly charged outside the city in order to attract the opponent's attention. , so that in the end, almost all the ancient dark elf soldiers were wiped out, including General Jace."

Christie lowered her eyebrows and reported to Lei Xiao: "It is precisely because of the efforts of the ancient dark elves that the Yingming Fortress was able to persist until the return of Old Gray and others."

"It turns out that they are the biggest contributors to this battle."

Lei Xiao's eyes were solemn, and he looked at the messy battlefield.

Fortunately, Jace and others are no different from our strong men in the Lion King's Palace, which means that given time, they can still reappear.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao calmed down and asked Hui Lao and others: "Old president, how did you retreat from the Rainforest Fortress Alliance's army?"

"Your Majesty, this matter was unexpected even by the old minister and others. It will start when the old minister and others go to Lina's hometown."

Hui Lao first looked at each other and smiled with Yoniel and Lina who were traveling with him, then he saluted Lei Xiao with his hands on his chest and began to describe.

Through Hui Lao's detailed description, Lei Xiao learned that after being sent to Lina's hometown by Bingshi City, the group immediately started taking action and sped towards Lina's hometown.

As a member of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, although Lina's Mandela tribe is weak, it also has an elder seat in the alliance, so through the tribesmen left behind, they quickly understood the current situation.

That is, after Loris and others returned to the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, they immediately gathered an army composed of lions, leopards, bears, centaurs, water elves and other major forces to attack the Yingming Fortress.

Among them, there are more than a dozen legions of Lina's clan. Most of the Mandela tribe are good at using the power of nature. They have made great achievements in treatment, purification, etc., and can be regarded as an indispensable auxiliary force.

"Old President, are you saying that Loris, Thomas, Old Susan and others took the initiative to attack us after returning safely?"

After hearing what the other party said, Lei Xiao's face was full of surprise and looked like he was in disbelief.

"Yes, Your Majesty, after hearing the news, the veteran and others were extremely puzzled. The other party obviously had no reason to do this."

Hui Lao froze his gray eyebrows and continued: "After discussion with the old minister and others, I'm afraid there is only one reason why the other party did this."

"The old president wants to say that Loris and others have been quietly replaced, right? It's not them who gave the orders, but a group of impostors, so that makes sense."

Lei Xiao gently rubbed his chin and speculated: "But other people in the Rainforest Fortress Alliance don't know what kind of agreement we have reached with the real Loris and others, so it is not surprising that they follow the words of the impostors and march towards us. ”

"As expected of Your Majesty, you can see through the mystery at a glance."

Yoniel took over the conversation and continued: "But even if there is such a guess, Lao Chen and others are suffering from the lack of any evidence. Fortunately, Lina Nizi is smart and witty and found the other party's flaw, which makes us completely sure The speculation in my mind.”

"Hehe, Lord Lord, my subordinates are not as great as Grandpa Yoniel said."

Lina tilted her head in embarrassment and said with a grin: "My subordinates just discovered the unreasonableness of the other party, that is, in accordance with the order conveyed by the leader's messenger, all members of the tribe were required to mobilize."

"But the lord must have known for a long time that his tribe has a special feature, that is, every once in a while, they need to sleep in the hole for a long time. Therefore, in order to deal with emergencies, the tribesmen under him It’s done alternately, and it’s absolutely impossible to mobilize everyone.”

"Because once dormancy is forcibly interrupted, it will cause serious magical backlash."

After hearing Lina's words, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

Just as Nizi said, her ethnic group has a special habit, and it does require a kind of energy absorption similar to photosynthesis, just like hibernation, sleeping for a long time.

As for why Lina does not need to do this, it is because she has practiced the art of controlling undead beasts, and she can also achieve this through similar methods during practice.

As the leader of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, it is impossible that Loris does not know this characteristic and will not order all members to dispatch. And if he is a fake, he will naturally not know about this. After all, the strength of Lina's tribe is extremely limited. , few people know specific information.

After smoothing everything out in his mind, Lei Xiao curiously asked: "What about after this?"

"Back to Your Majesty, after confirming that there was a problem with the identity of the other party, the old minister and others did not make any announcement, but prepared to find the traces of the real rainforest leader and others first, so the old minister and others tried their best to sneak into the same clan of Lina Nizi. The supply team returned to the vicinity of the Ringing Valley through the portal between the forces of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance."

Yoniel's old eyes were blurred, and he continued to describe the situation at that time: "Since the leader of the rainforest has been replaced, the most likely place for all this to happen is naturally the journey from the Shadow Market back to the rainforest border fortress. As long as we keep searching, there should always be some clues."

"After all, the strength and trump cards of the rainforest leader and his group are extremely good, and they have experienced hundreds of battles, which is definitely not comparable to the Dragon Queen and others. Even if the powerful liches come out in full force, it is difficult to accomplish all this."

Yoniel stroked his gray beard lightly and said, "But there is only one way to make the lich succeed successfully."

"Illusion?"

Lei Xiao quickly thought of it The key point of the matter, nodded slightly and said: "As long as the real rainforest leader and his group are trapped in the illusion, it is natural for the lich to be silent."

"Your Majesty is indeed as good as a god."

Gray Old Man first praised Lei Xiao, and then continued: "Yes, after leaving the border fortress of the rainforest fortress, I immediately looked for traces of illusion along the route that the rainforest leader might have passed. After all, even in the mysterious illusion, it can only trap the target in the illusion, and it is difficult to make it impossible to see any clues from the outside world."

"Sure enough, when passing through the edge of a dense forest, my group finally found traces of illusion, then if The mist was looming between the trees, exuding a mysterious and unfathomable atmosphere. "

"Although the other party tried their best to disguise the illusion mist as morning mist, and even the dew on the leaves was looming, how could there be any morning mist on a dark and windy night? This is obviously not in line with common sense."

"Old Gray nodded to Lei Xiao and continued: "After confirming the illusion mist, just when the old minister and others were about to discuss the next countermeasures, the change occurred."

"I saw people in the surrounding forests, and a large number of liches and undead soldiers suddenly appeared, and soon surrounded the old minister and others tightly. "

"At this point, the old minister and others Only then did we realize that we had unknowingly stepped into the enemy's encirclement, and the enemy's strength was obviously stronger than that of the old minister and others. "

Listening to what Gray said, Lei Xiao pondered and said: "Since the other party has deployed illusions, it is only natural to set up some ambushes around."

After that, Lei Xiao was curious again: "Old Chairman, how did you break through the siege and crack the other party's conspiracy?"

"Your Majesty, what happened next was actually unexpected by the old minister and his party."

A mysterious smile emerged on Gray's wrinkled face, and he continued to describe. (End of this chapter)
