Chapter 484

"My lord, Old General Bai was not imprisoned in this castle, but in a dark place similar to a cellar."

Ye Cang pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, still maintained a respectful posture and said: "However, since it was a dark and windy night, the exact location is not yet clear, we can only deduce that it is about Somewhere within a hundred meters."

After a pause, Ye Cang frowned again and added: "In addition, the environment above the cellar is very chaotic, it looks like a warehouse or a utility room."

"Very good, that's enough."

Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction, then opened the conversation, told Nan Yue who was secretly investigating in the fortress, and ordered him to focus on the investigation.

"Great, we can finally find Old General Bai!"

Seeing that Lei Xiao had arranged everything properly, Ariel's exquisite face was full of joy, and she looked over excitedly.

Aside from the excitement, Ariel's heart was full of emotions.

The situation just now was extremely thrilling. If this young man from another world was not willing to accompany him here, I am afraid that he would already be a fish on the sword.

"Although I don't want to admit it, this guy really helped me a lot, and this time it even saved my life."

Ariel's eyes fluttered, and doubts appeared on her fair face: "The powerful energy possessed by this guy is simply unimaginable. How did he do it?"

While Ariel was thinking secretly, Lei Xiao ordered his subordinates to start cleaning the battlefield while continuing to listen to Ye Cang's report.

"My lord, what the other party said about the attack of the Holy Night Army is also true, and the time is exactly an hour before sunrise tomorrow morning.

Ye Cang's slightly awe-inspiring voice rang out again: "And the 80,000 Holy Night Army almost came out in full force."

"Eighty Thousand Holy Night Army..."

Hearing Ye Cang's words, all the people present could not help but show serious expressions.

You know, the soldiers of eight legions are at least equivalent to the huge combat power of eight fifth-tier powerhouses!

This is still at the first level of the opponent's entire staff, and the strength of the elite troops and commanders at all levels in each legion is undoubtedly far beyond this level!

"The situation is very bad. After such a toss by Aogu, the command system of the Shanbao Fortress has been greatly damaged."

Burt frowned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and said, "If the Holy Night Army really comes out in full force, even if there are no rebels to cooperate from inside and outside, I'm afraid these three fortresses won't last long."

"Senior Burt is right."

A sassy voice sounded, Jubai sighed lightly, and added: "In addition to Aogu himself and several rebel commanders, General Bai is also seriously injured at present. Once the soldiers know this, I'm afraid morale will be severely hit."

"So, the three fortresses are already in danger?"

On Ariel's fair face, a touch of uncontrollable tension suddenly appeared, and she blurted out.

Facing Ariel's question, Bert and Jubai, the two generals of the kingdom, looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

At present, the internal strife in the capital is intensifying, coupled with the pressure of the Holy Night army.

In such a situation where the reinforcements in the rear had no clue and the front was surrounded by powerful enemies, the morale of the 30,000 Lengyan army was already in an extremely low state.

What's more, there are still 20,000 of them, all of which are motley regiments improvised by the defense forces from various places. The combat effectiveness is relatively weak, and there is still a lack of magic troops who are good at long-range strikes.

The combination of the above-mentioned unfavorable conditions really made it difficult for the three fortresses to last for too long.

"Come from another world, do you have any good ways to resist powerful enemies?"

While flustered in her heart, Ariel didn't hesitate, and quickly came to Lei Xiao and asked eagerly.

"Of course there is a way."

Lei Xiao smiled lightly, and said calmly, "It is true that we are indeed facing many disadvantages, but we have an unparalleled advantage."

"An incomparable huge advantage?"

Ariel's starry eyes lit up, and she asked hastily.

"That's just to play tricks, pretend to cooperate with the Holy Night Army, and then catch the opponent by surprise."

On Lei Xiao's originally indifferent face, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said slowly: "As long as you hurt the other party and scare him, he will naturally guarantee the safety of this place for quite a while in the future."

Lei Xiao clearly understands that for a mountain fortress with a perfect urn city, it is not a problem to do this.

As long as the Holy Night Army, which he thought to be infallible, could be successfully let in, the next thing would be to catch a turtle in the jar without any suspense.

"I'm afraid this group of Holy Night commanders who are preparing to occupy the fortress in one fell swoop and are complacent about their plans would never have imagined that an invisible net has already been buckled over their heads."

On Lei Xiao's face, a faint smile reappeared, and he raised his eyebrows.

"What the lord said is very true."

Ye Cang's elegant voice then rang out: "According to the information I have just learned, the secret signal that Aogu and the other party set is a kind of signal bomb-like magic scroll activated by a special spell."

I saw Ye Cang patting Lei Xiao's chest and saluting, while continuing: "At present, this scroll is hidden in Ao Gu's room, and the special spell used for activation has been fully mastered by this subordinate."

"Very good, I will get the scroll back later, and I will leave the task of sending the signal to you."

Lei Xiao nodded to Ye Cang in satisfaction, then turned around, and said to Ariel, "As for the lack of commanders, that's a better solution."

Speaking of this, Lei Xiao's dark eyes moved, and finally landed on Bert and Jubai, and said with a slight smile: "In addition to the old general Bai, we also have two other generals of the kingdom who are as famous as the old Bai. Could it be that he will lose to the opponent at this point?"

Lei Xiao naturally knew Bert and Ju Bai very well.

Both of these two are hard-working kingdom generals who have climbed up from the bottom step by step through various battles.

Many of the battles he commanded were regarded as classic cases of noble academies, and were widely circulated in the Lengyan Army.

As a result, both of them are first-class existences no matter their prestige in the Lengyan Army or their own command ability.

"You are right!"

Ariel has rekindled her fighting spirit, and she said with great joy: "As you said, as long as you use the tricks, coupled with the command of Sir Burt and Qing Bai, it is obviously not impossible to beat the Holy Night Army thing!"

"In addition to this, there is the most critical point."

Lei Xiaoyun raised his eyebrows calmly, and continued to say to Ariel leisurely: "That is you, the fifth princess of Leng Yan."

"Me? What do you mean by that?"

Ariel blinked her starry eyes puzzledly, and her face was suddenly full of doubts.

"Currently, the morale of the three fortresses is low, which is a very significant problem."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and replied to Ariel: "Under the premise that the Holy Night Army is about to approach the city, as long as you, as the fifth princess of Lengyan, raise your arms and are willing to fight side by side with the soldiers, I believe the morale here will immediately increase." It will go up."

Before this, Lei Xiao already knew about it.

As a member of the royal family, Ariel has a high reputation in Lengyan.

In addition to Ariel's outstanding appearance, she has a kind and pure heart inside, which is also something people talk about.

As for the fact that he was forced to leave the capital, it has already spread throughout the military and political circles of the Lengyan Kingdom, causing many people to sigh and shake their heads.

It is not difficult to see from this that if Ariel can stand up and fight for this fortress at this time, it will obviously improve the morale of the soldiers to a large extent.

The most important thing is that as the prestige of the three princes is decreasing day by day, as long as they can keep this place smoothly, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance Ariel's prestige.

This ebb and flow can also play a vital role in controlling Leng Yan's layout.

"As for whether this move will attract the attention of the three princes, the answer is of course yes."

Lei Xiao frowned, and continued to think: "However, as long as the Holy Night Army can retreat and give the three of them more time to fight for power, the other party will not interfere at this stage. On the contrary, I have to thank this "stupid" sister". "

Hearing Lei Xiao's words, Ariel nodded without hesitation, and said firmly: "If I can rekindle the fighting spirit of the soldiers, I will naturally be obliged."

"Very good, then there is only one last question left."

Lei Xiao first cast a glance at Ao Gu, who had lost his eyesight, and then frowned at the burly priest beside him and said, "Ye Cang, how many accomplices does this guy have?"

"My lord, all the forces in the castle have been completely cleaned up."

Ye Cang bowed to Lei Xiao, and responded respectfully: "There are still a few squadrons of ordinary soldiers in the periphery, and they can be easily wiped out."

"understood."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and nodded thoughtfully.

At this moment, Knotweed, Hong Ye, and Chao Yan had already cleaned up the battlefield, and Lei Xiao signaled the three of them to put it away first. The situation is urgent and it is not time to count the spoils.

Just as Hu Zhang and the others returned to the team, Lei Xiao's reminder sounded.

After the connection, Nanyue's crisp voice immediately reached Lei Xiao's ears: "Sir, my lord, my subordinates have found a suspicious cellar!"

"Tell me the detailed location, and we will go there."

After Lei Xiao left Chao Yan and Ye Cang, and a team of Earth Guardians to guard Aogu and strangle the castle.

Immediately, taking the knotweed and Hong Ye, together with Ariel, Bert, and Jubai, they galloped towards the direction Nanyue described.

It didn't take long for a group of six people wearing the invisibility cloak to join Nanyue successfully.

Lei Xiao looked left and right, and found that it was a stone cottage rebuilt from a fortress. Judging from the tools piled up at the door, it should be the residence of the castle gardener or gardener.

And judging from the surrounding weedy environment, it was obvious that no one had lived in it for a while.

"My lord, this place is relatively close to the castle, but it is also the most remote place nearby. It seems that Ao Gu has been preparing for a long time to imprison Bai Lao."

The tall and burly Polygonum cuspidatum bowed to Lei Xiao while carefully observing the surrounding environment.

"Indeed, let's go in and take a look."

Lei Xiao nodded to his subordinates, and under the guidance of Nan Xing, he took the first step.

Stepping straight into the door of the room, Lei Xiao found out.

All the furniture here has been evacuated, and there are a lot of sundries and wooden boxes piled up everywhere, making it extremely chaotic.

It seems that it is obviously specially arranged to deceive people's eyes and ears, and it really fits Ye Cang's previous description.

"My lord, it's in the hut here."

Nanyue's silver bell voice came to Lei Xiao's ears again: "This room originally had a big iron gate, but it has been forcibly removed by the subordinates."

When he came to the hut, Lei Xiao noticed it.

The light here is dim, and it is also full of debris.

However, there was a space in the middle, which had obviously been removed not long ago.

On the ground, there suddenly appeared a square metal door leading to the ground.

"It really is a very hidden place."

Ariel, who frowned slightly, walked forward eagerly, only to find that the metal door was radiant, exuding a rock-solid aura.

"Is the third-order magic forbidden? This is not difficult for me."

Ariel's expression froze, and several small golden magic circles immediately emerged from her surroundings, reflecting the gloomy room brightly.

Not long after, accompanied by the familiar sound of glass breaking, the magical streamer on the metal door disappeared without a trace.

"As expected of my dear fifth princess, you still have two talents."

Seeing this rather exciting scene, Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and nodded to the knotweed beside him.

Then, accompanied by a slightly harsh sound of metal rubbing, the metal door was easily pulled up by the knotweed stick.

Under the lead of the knotweed, go all the way down the earthen stairs.

After a while, a group of six people came to a dark cellar.

Through the illumination of the light spar, Lei Xiao looked around and noticed.

The area here is not very spacious. In the middle, there is a pure black metal cage that exudes a strange atmosphere.

I saw a burly figure with disheveled hair sitting cross-legged in the cage with his back to the crowd.

Lei Xiao had seen this kind of black metal cage before in the dungeon of Kongqing Town.

The cage itself is not only strong and abnormal, but also enchanted with a magic circle of unloading power, which will only be used when imprisoning important strong people.

"Aogu, give up your heart, this old man will never go with someone like you."

An old and dignified voice came from the figure from behind.

In the voice, although it reveals obvious firmness and unshakable, it sounds very weak, which shows that the owner of the voice is obviously suffering serious injuries.

"Old General Bai, it's me, I'm here to save you!"

Ariel walked forward and spoke eagerly.

Hearing Ariel's crisp voice, the burly figure was startled and suddenly turned around.

Under the reflection of the light spar, a haggard and incredibly old face caught everyone's eyes: "Your Highness, how did you appear here?!"
