Chapter 485 Mr. Wu and the White Knight
"Old General Bai, I'll talk about other things later, the most urgent thing is to rescue you first!"
Ariel looked at the extremely weak white-haired old man in front of her, first waved her hand to signal him not to move, and then said.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, but this force-relief cage has been imposed with a fifth-level magic restriction, and even that bastard Aogu can't open it by himself."
Bai Lao, who was covered in bruises, shook his head helplessly, and sighed heavily: "Unless the "Mr. Wu" who has been with my king all the time comes here, otherwise in this land, it is absolutely impossible for others to open it. "
"this……"
Hearing Bai Lao's sigh, and feeling the strange energy fluctuations from the black cage, Ariel's delicate face froze eagerly, looking at a loss.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao slightly raised his eyebrows.
Before this, I have already understood.
The two fifth-tier powerhouses loyal to the Lengyan royal family, one is the "White Knight" currently under the command of the eldest prince, and the other is the "Mr. Wu" in the old Bai's mouth.
"It is said that these two fifth-level powerhouses are extremely mysterious, especially "Mr. Wu", whose real face has only been seen by the old king himself, and is a powerful fifth-level magic master. "
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, thinking to himself: "It is precisely because of the "White Knights" who sit in the royal capital and check and balance the faction of the eldest prince, that the most powerful eldest prince has never been Can win the power struggle. "
"As for the "White Knight", he is also a low-key and mysterious physical powerhouse. He has been wearing a set of pure white knight armor and a closed knight helmet. Few people know his true face. "
"I have to say that these two mysterious Lengyan fifth-order powerhouses are really very curious. I must be accompanying my progress, and I will be able to meet them soon."
"Speaking of which, although the fifth-level magic restriction can make it difficult for others, it is naturally impossible for me."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao looked at Ariel, who had drooping eyebrows, and said with a faint smile, "Why don't you let my people try?"
"You?"
Hearing the sound, Ariel was taken aback, and sighed softly: "But the two around you are not all physical experts who are good at melee combat..."
Before Ariel finished speaking, Lei Xiao nodded to Hong Ye beside him.
Hong Ye understood, first stroked her chest and saluted, then stepped forward with her long legs and came straight to the front of the black cage.
"You don't need to waste your energy in vain. The old man has already said that this is a fifth-order magic restriction. You can't open it..."
Seeing Hong Ye approaching, the scarred old Bai also shook his head helplessly and sighed.
However, Bai Lao's voice has not completely fallen.
I saw the slender and slender Hong Ye stretched out a white slender finger, and lightly touched the black cage.
As Yubai's fingertips touched the cage, a burst of extremely strong energy fluctuations suddenly rippled out.
click.
There was a crisp sound of the chain breaking, and the black cage in front of him opened accordingly.
"Hit, opened? Fifth-level magic master?!"
Seeing this scene, not only Bai Lao, who was already ashamed, but also Ariel, who was at the side, also looked shocked, and looked at Lei Xiao at the side in unison.
What surprised Bai Lao was that Lei Xiao was surrounded by a fifth-order powerhouse.
And Ariel didn't expect at all that the female fifth-level powerhouse with a calm face and fierce shots, in addition to her powerful physical attack ability, could actually unlock the fifth-level magic restriction!
"It's just basic exercises, don't be 6."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and then said, "Okay, let's hurry up and treat Old General Bai's injuries."
Because Hongye didn't show any magical ability before, and Bai Lao, whose strength was suppressed, his perception ability also dropped significantly.
So the reaction of the two is naturally expected.
"Mr. Burt, Mrs. Ju Bai, I will leave the old general Bai to you."
Hearing Lei Xiao's prompt, Ariel, who was still surprised, nodded quickly.
After Burt helped Bai Lao out of the black cage, Jubai, who was a priest of Holy Light and a special profession of Holy Sword Priest, started treatment immediately.
"Holy Light Mantra!"
After reciting a difficult incantation, on the orange-white slender hands, golden soft radiance suddenly rippled, and began to cover the surface of Bai Lao's body.
For a moment, in the damp and cold cellar, the gentle energy fluctuations that symbolized the power of life made the temperature seem to rise a lot.
And on Bai Lao's exposed strong body, many skins that were still purple and red began to quickly return to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"General Burt, General Orange White, I didn't expect you to come too."
After a while, the old general, whose face was already blushing a lot, said sincerely, "It's really thanks to you."
After finishing speaking, a touch of embarrassment appeared on Bai Lao's old and resolute face.
As one of the oldest kingdom generals in the Lengyan royal family, he has always held a sneering attitude towards these two rising stars who climbed up from the bottom, thinking that they are not qualified to be as famous as him.
But I didn't expect that one day I would get sincere help from the two in such a distressed appearance.
Thinking of this, the old and haggard face of the old man was full of self-ashamed appearance, and the old eyes covered with crow's feet also dimmed. He was undoubtedly too arrogant and superficial before.
"Old General Bai, you are welcome. You have always been a role model for the two of us. These are what we should do."
Jubai responded with a smile while healed with all his strength, and Bert, who was supporting Bailao, also nodded.
After sincerely thanking Bert and Ju Bai, Bai Lao's eyes moved and finally fell on Lei Xiao.
The old general who has recovered some strength can clearly feel it.
In addition to the female fifth-tier powerhouse just now, there is actually a fifth-tier powerhouse beside this indifferent young man!
"There are actually two fifth-tier powerhouses at the township level who are loyal, what is the origin of this son?!"
Looking at Lei Xiao's calm and indifferent face, Bai Lao's old face was full of awe.
For him who has fought for the Lengyan royal family for most of his life, he naturally clearly understands that the fifth-level powerhouse is the absolute symbol of royal power!
"How could such a big man with a strong background appear here? But judging from the current situation, this son is obviously a friend rather than an enemy."
Surprised in his heart, Bai Lao secretly heaved a sigh of relief, first expressed his gratitude to Lei Xiao, and then asked: "Why do you want to help this old man?"
After a pause, Bai Lao added another sentence: "Since you can find this place, you must have understood the ins and outs of the matter, right? This is tantamount to making an enemy of the entire Holy Night Kingdom."
"Old General Bai, I think you made a mistake."
Lei Xiao remained calm, smiled lightly and said, "Although I saved you, I was only helping Ariel."
"The old man understands."
Bai Lao stared into Lei Xiao's eyes for a moment, and then said sincerely, "No matter what, thank you very much!"
After finishing speaking, with Burt's support, Mr. Bai forced himself to stand up, stroked his chest and bowed to Lei Xiao.
At this moment, Bai Lao understood clearly in his heart.
Princess Ariel, Burt, and Jubai alone would never have come here.
This young man with a calm face obviously played a decisive role in it.
The most important thing is, although I don't know the motive and purpose of this son's doing so.
However, as the battle for the royal capital intensified.
To put it bluntly, the current Ariel is just a down and out princess with no power or influence.
Bai Lao really couldn't think of what this young man, who had the allegiance of two fifth-tier powerhouses, could get from Ariel.
On the other hand, Bai Lao felt that it would be more appropriate to say that Princess Ariel had found a strong backer.
"Old General Bai is being polite, I should thank Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly at the white-haired old man who still looked weak, and then looked at Ariel beside him.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, the old minister!"
Hearing Lei Xiao's reminder, Bai Lao hurriedly knelt down on one knee to Ariel with pain.
"Old General Bai please get up quickly, it is important to treat the injury."
Ariel waved her hand, first motioned for Burt to help him up, and then smiled and said: "Old General Bai, you are welcome, I should actually say thank you."
Ariel's fair face was already full of gratitude, and she continued: "Under the chaotic situation in the capital, the old general Bai still worked tirelessly to guard the country for Leng Yan, even under the temptation of high-ranking officials and generous salaries. , has never been shaken, and deserves to be Leng Yan's pillar of the country!"
"Your Highness, the princess, is serious. It is the honor of the veteran to fight for Leng Yan!"
Bai Lao's old voice is sonorous and powerful, full of determination and unwavering.
After finishing speaking, the old general sighed heavily, and said in shame: "It's all because of the negligence of the old minister for a while, and the neglect of employing people, which resulted in today's embarrassing situation, which almost overturned these three crucial fortresses."
"Old General Bai doesn't need to underestimate himself."
Ariel shook her head helplessly, and sighed softly: "According to Leng Yan's tradition, the two lieutenants under every general of the kingdom are directly dispatched by the royal family and their terms of office are limited. royal responsibility."
Hearing what the two said, Lei Xiao slightly raised his eyebrows.
Before that, I had heard Ju Bai mention this matter.
Otherwise, Jubai's old subordinate, Carol, would not be forced to separate from Jubai after he was appointed as the general of the kingdom.
The advantage of doing this is that it can undoubtedly limit the power of each general of the kingdom to a considerable extent, so as not to threaten the supremacy of the royal family.
"By the way, Old General Bai, the reason why I came here is this..."
Afterwards, Ariel described in detail with Bai Lao a series of things the group did from rescuing the residents of Lengyan.
Of course, due to Lei Xiao's previous intentional emphasis, Ariel never mentioned Lei Xiao's status as the city lord of Kongqing or the lord of another world.
"So that's the case. I didn't expect Aogu to be a member of Shengye. No wonder there was no flaw in the conspiracy with Shengye."
After listening to Ariel's description, Mr. Bai gently stroked the messy gray beard on his chin, nodded thoughtfully and said.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Lao's expression became serious again, and he said seriously: "It is a big and urgent problem about the Holy Night Army soldiers coming to the city before dawn tomorrow."
"Old General Bai, regarding this point, my...assistant already has a countermeasure."
After speaking, Ariel looked at Lei Xiao and nodded slightly.
"My thoughts are like this. If there is any negligence, please correct me by the old general."
After accepting Ariel's words, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then repeated in detail the three aspects of what he had just said, including tactics, command issues, and improving morale.
"Your Excellency's thoughts coincide with the old man's. This is indeed the most appropriate countermeasure at present."
Bai Lao nodded his head ponderously, and thoughtfully said: "However, the urn city of this mountain fortress can only accommodate at most one army-sized enemy."
Speaking of this, the old general who was sitting cross-legged on the ground tried to stand up, and continued: "And with the cautious temperament of the opponent's coach, the Red Devils, it is not an easy task to get cheap from the opponent. things."
"Therefore, regarding the most important plan, we have to plan carefully."
Bai Lao's body had just straightened up, and a look of pain appeared on his old face, and he sat back with Bert's assistance.
"Old General Bai, your injury is very serious, please don't move around."
Ju Bai, who was concentrating on treatment, immediately reminded.
After a while, the life force in Ju Bai's hand slowly dissipated, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath.
"Ju Baiqing, how is Old General Bai's injury?"
Seeing that the treatment had come to an end, Ariel immediately asked.
"Back to Your Royal Highness, the situation is not optimistic."
Ju Bai fixed Liu Mei, and responded truthfully: "The old general's injuries are very serious. Many energy circuits in his body have already suffered considerable damage. All I can do is to completely heal the superficial wounds."
Ju Bai stroked the sweat-soaked hair on his forehead, and added: "As for the damaged energy circuits, I have already nourished them one by one, and the rest can only be recovered by the old general Bai himself. "
"So, isn't it true that Old General Bai can't come to the battlefield in person to command?"
On Ariel's fair face, a hint of eagerness suddenly appeared, and she asked again.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao couldn't help frowning slightly.
Just now, I learned from Bai Lao that the opponent's coach is obviously a very difficult person to deal with.
In this situation, if Shirao, who is the commander-in-chief of the fortress, cannot participate in this battle, or even recover for a long time in the future.
This will undoubtedly be an extremely heavy blow to my next layout and plan.
"Returning to Your Highness, the current old general Bai is extremely weak, and even standing for a long time will be a problem, let alone commanding operations."
Jubai shook his head helplessly, and sighed softly.
Immediately afterwards, the orange starry eyes lit up, as if thinking of something, he hurriedly said: "That's right! Maybe there is another way!"
