Chapter 537 Her Royal Highness Has Light in Her Eyes

Sensing the change in Lei Xiao's tone, Bai Lao nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please speak."

"That is, never be an enemy of me and Princess Ariel."

Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao's expression became calm again, and he said, "Of course, the third point is not so much a condition, but a suggestion, which is more appropriate."

Hearing the warning in Lei Xiao's words, Bai Lao nodded slowly again.

Then he responded: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the old man's family has been loyal to Lord Lengyan for generations and never participates in power disputes. This old man is willing to guarantee this with the reputation of himself and the family!"

After a pause, Elder Bai added: "Your Excellency Keqing and His Highness the Princess helped me this time, not only saving my life, but also my reputation, and not being trampled by that guy Aogu.

Moreover, he also saved 30,000 Lengyan soldiers in the three fortresses, as well as Lengyan people in countless villages behind the fortresses. This kind of kindness, I will never forget! "

After finishing speaking, Elder Bai solemnly knelt down on one knee and saluted Lei Xiao and Ai Lier respectively.

At this moment, besides being grateful, Bai Lao understood clearly.

Even though the rear of the mountain fortress, there are still forces from the eldest prince's faction sitting in the fortress.

However, these impressive forces were the vanguard army who ignored the call-up order. Instead, they set up a second line of defense behind the fortress with Songluo City as the center.

So far, the answer is self-evident.

The eldest prince's faction obviously wanted to use himself, the general of the kingdom who had fought for Leng Yan all his life, and the 30,000 Leng Yan defenders in the three fortresses as cannon fodder to weaken the combat power of the invading Holy Night Army as much as possible.

It would be best if it could be defended, if not, the second line of defense led by Songluo City would defeat the weakened Holy Night Army.

In this way, not only can it reduce the loss of its own troops to the greatest extent.

Moreover, being able to gain the reputation of repelling the Holy Night Army is undoubtedly a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

In addition, in order to establish a second line of defense, the eldest prince's faction recruited farmers from many surrounding villages and towns to build fortifications.

However, no protection measures have been provided for the remote villages and towns on the outskirts of these cities.

It can be seen from this that once the mountain fortress falls, these remote villages will naturally be the first targets to be looted.

And the eldest prince's faction can also take advantage of this time to mobilize troops to prepare to meet the enemy with ease...

Thinking of this, Elder Bai, who was helped up by Lei Xiao, couldn't help sighing again.

Such an approach, compared with the guest minister in front of you, is naturally a superior judgment.

"Your Excellency, Your Royal Highness, the old man has seen everything you have done. There is no comparison between the power of someone behind the fortress and the two of you!"

After being lifted up, the old man showed a solemn face, and nodded again emphatically.

On the other side, hearing what Bai Lao said, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

Regarding the actions of the eldest prince, after combining the information provided by Orr just now, Lei Xiao has already guessed a lot.

However, Lei Xiao did not sneer at the Eldest Prince's way of weakening the Holy Night Army. If he was in the opponent's position, he might not make the same choice.

After all, Lei Xiao clearly understands that in this different world where strength is paramount, there has never been any righteousness, some are just for the sake of victory, and there are only choices to be made.

Since I can achieve both fame and fortune, why would I choose such a low-level method?

Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and then responded: "Okay, Old General Bai, since you have agreed to the three conditions, let's start now."

"Understood, Your Excellency Ke Qing, Your Highness Princess, please come with me."

Nodding to Lei Xiao and Ai Lier, accompanied by the crisp sound of armor colliding, Bai Lao walked in the front of the team again.

Next, they went straight to the wall directly in front of the mountain fortress.

Commanding the subordinates, after a careful inspection, Lei Xiao confirmed.

Due to the powerful effect of the previous absolute defense enchantment.

Therefore, the 200 second-tier fire-type magic cannons here have not suffered any losses.

Nodding in satisfaction, Lei Xiao immediately took back 160 guns, and took the 10 non-upgraded Tier 1 magic cannons and 10 Tier 2 magic guns that Bai Lao provided, all into his bag.

During this process, Bai Lao also ordered his cronies to bring Tier 3 and above equipment as trophies.

After counting, there are 10 Tier 3 long swords, 5 Tier 3 shields, 5 Tier 3 staffs, 3 Tier 3 longbows, 3 Tier 3 two-handed swords, 2 Tier 3 battle axes, and 1 Tier 3 spear , and 2 sets of Tier 3 robes, Tier 3 leather armor, and Tier 3 light armor.

In addition, there are 1 Tier 4 staff, 1 Tier 4 longbow, 1 Tier 4 battleaxe, 1 Tier 4 two-handed sword and 1 Tier 4 long sword.

Needless to say, on a fierce battlefield, compared to weapons, armor is obviously damaged more seriously.

After taking stock, Lei Xiao waved his hand again, and unceremoniously put the 35 pieces of Tier 3 equipment and 5 pieces of Tier 4 equipment into the space bracelet.

Seeing this scene, Bai Lao's expression did not change in any way.

You must know that the cost of a second-tier magic gun is more than a million gold dragons, and its value is significantly higher than that of a fourth-tier weapon.

Therefore, this is naturally a very cost-effective deal, or in other words, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a gift from the mysterious guest.

Of course, apart from being grateful, what Bai Lao didn't know was.

As long as Lei Xiao moves his fingers casually, he can easily turn these equipment and magic cannon into gold, and obtain a value far exceeding that before the upgrade.

All in all, for both parties, this is obviously an extremely cost-effective deal.

"Okay, let's go to the forest edge fortress to have a look."

Casually patted the floating ash on his hands, Lei Xiao spoke again.

In this way, the two maids, A Ling and A Bing, were left behind to take care of Burt and the others, chasing the wind and electricity along the way.

It didn't take long, Lei Xiao and his party, accompanied by Bai Lao, came to the wall of the forest edge fortress again.

Under the reflection of the magic light ball released by the guarding soldiers, at a glance, compared with the intact mountain fortress, this place is obviously much more devastated.

At least one-third of the city wall has been blasted to pieces by the Holy Night Army's magical cannons and magic.

However, the broken parts have been temporarily filled by the fortification techniques of the earth magicians.

It looked like huge patches of soil had been made one after another on the wall.

"Your Excellency, the large stones will arrive tomorrow. By then, we can start repairing the city wall."

Noticing Lei Xiao's gaze, Bai Lao hurriedly introduced.

Immediately afterwards, a trace of hesitation appeared on the old and aged face.

Then he said embarrassingly: "To tell you the truth, your Excellency, after counting during the day, 50 of the 200 second-tier fire-type magic cannons here have been damaged to varying degrees, including the magic light crystals. Look... "

"It's okay, these battle losses are completely within my expectations, and will not affect my promise just now."

With a slight wave of his hand, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "Just take me to have a look."

Currently, in Lei Xiao's hands, besides the newly obtained 20 magic cannons, there are also 48 ancient magic cannons to be repaired, none of which have been upgraded yet.

Therefore, this loss can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

As for the magic light crystals, there are still 950 of them, and they are not hurt.

"Okay, Your Excellency, please go this way, here are the intact magic cannons, and the damaged magic cannons are over there."

Secretly heaving a sigh of relief, Bai Lao took his own steps again.

In the process of advancing, thinking of Lei Xiao's indifferent expression just now, Bai Lao couldn't help but narrow his old eyes slightly, and sighed secretly in his heart.

The total value of 50 second-tier magic cannons is at least 50 million golden dragons. Apart from the royal family, I am afraid that only a very small number of top aristocratic and wealthy families can afford such a huge number at will.

But even so, this young Ke Qing didn't even blink an eye.

However, when he remembered that Lei Xiao took out 400 Tier 2 magic cannons at once, Bai Lao was instantly relieved. It turned out that it was only the golden dragon that limited his imagination...

While sighing, Bai Lao's gaze involuntarily fell on Ariel who was beside Lei Xiao.

At this moment, the old general who had fought for Leng Yan all his life noticed.

In Her Royal Highness's clear starry eyes, there is obviously a bright light shining, that light is full of hope, contains longing for the future, and also contains the firmness to move forward.

And where the source of this light comes from is naturally self-evident.

Seeing this, Bai Lao's old wrinkled face was obviously moved, and he wanted to open his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything else.

Next, following Bai Lao's guidance, Lei Xiao first put the intact 150 magic cannons back into his pocket.

Immediately afterwards, they came to the warehouse below the city wall, where the damaged magic guns were stored.

After Ye Cang and Chaoyan's inspection, most of the 50 riddled magic cannons had been severely damaged, and there was no need to repair them.

Of course, in line with the principle of prudence, Lei Xiao put all these damaged magic cannons into the space bracelet, and prepared to deal with them on the way back.

Just after finishing all this, Lei Xiao's reminder to read the words rang.

After connecting, A Ling's crisp voice immediately reached his ears: "My lord, Burt, Jubai, Walter and the other 12 strong dragon tooth mercenaries have just arrived at the mountain fortress. !"

"Very good, we'll be right there."

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

On the other side, Bai Lao was also in the state of answering the magic communication, obviously also got the news.

After the communication ended, the group returned to the mountain fortress.

After that, the mercenaries such as Bai Lao and old Walter who met, needless to say how polite they are.

Seeing that everything was on the right track, Lei Xiao, Ariel and the others bid farewell to Bai Lao and the powerful members of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Group, put on the invisibility cloak again, and galloped towards the territory.

As for the pterodactyl knight Xiao En and others who had been on standby in the nearby mountains, after receiving Lei Xiao's order, they also began to fly towards the territory.

On the way, Lei Xiao deliberately found a hidden cave in the mountains.

After the knotweed completely shattered the 50 broken magic cannons, let Hong Ye take a breath of the dragon to clean up all of them.

Then, after shooting stars and moons all the way, the outline of Kongqing Town appeared in front of Lei Xiao and his party.

"Okay, except for the pterodactyl knight squad, everyone else should stop first."

Seeing this, Lei Xiao patted the furry and thick back of the wolf lightly, and at the same time gave orders to the surrounding subordinates through words.

When all the subordinates gathered around Lei Xiao, Lei Xiao, who was riding on the giant white wolf, nodded to Ariel, Bert and Ju Bai, and said, "In order not to attract the attention of the princes, you Let’s go back to Kongqing Town first.”

After a pause, Lei Xiao instructed again: "Don't slack off, starting from tomorrow will be the beginning of the good show."

"Obey! Please rest assured, my lord!"

Hearing the sound, the three of them saluted together, and then, even under Lei Xiao's signal, they all turned into phantoms and disappeared in front of everyone.

"Okay, let's go back to the territory too."

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao said to the other subordinates.

After a while, under the hazy dark blue night sky, Lei Xiao and his party had already appeared in front of the small gate on the west side of the territory.

Since they had already greeted Rogge and Bai Zhi in advance, the city gate was wide open at this time, and the two of them were waiting at the gate with several teams of patrolling soldiers.

"My lord, you have worked hard!"

Seeing Lei Xiao's figure, all the remaining subordinates in the territory immediately bowed and stroked their chests together, and lowered their heads deeply.

"You don't have to be polite."

Slightly nodding his head, Lei Xiao signaled the crowd to disband, while walking towards the direction of the guardian defense agency.

After the offensive and defensive battle of the fortress, most of the magic light crystals on Lei Xiao's body were almost exhausted.

The first thing to do when you come back is naturally to recharge these magical magic batteries.

As soon as he came near the guardian defense agency, Lei Xiao noticed it.

Several large tents have been erected around this giant stone octagonal building.

Inside the tent, the magic streamer flickered, and there was a low singing sound from time to time.

At the same time, many magician subordinates in robes were busy back and forth.

On the other side, I saw Lei Xiao approaching.

The two commanders of the magician squadron, Zhuqi and Finley, trotted over immediately and saluted in unison: "See Lord Lord!"

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao nodded and said, "How is the construction of the charging circle going?"

Due to the limited charging base of the Guardian Defense Agency.

Therefore, in order to charge the magic light crystal more efficiently, it is naturally an urgent matter to build a charging circle.

"Returning to Lord Lord, after two days of hard work, the charging circle has basically been built, leaving only some details, the connection part with the miracle building energy, which has not yet been completed."

Smiling shyly at Lei Xiao, Zhuqi, whose fair face was dotted with a few freckles, responded.

"Very good, tomorrow morning I will ask Ye Cang and Chao Yan to help."

Nodding in satisfaction, Lei Xiao left behind all the magic light crystals that needed to be recharged, and rearranged the guardians of the earth and the guardians of the sky.

That is, he left the guardian defense agency and walked towards the lord's mansion.

Next, naturally it's time to upgrade this fortress offensive and defensive battle and get a lot of spoils!
