Chapter 774 The Loyalty of the Two and the Surprising News

From the other end of the reading came Auer's rather nervous and awe-inspiring voice: "My lord, my subordinates have just received a report that the armies under the command of the first prince and the second prince have come out from cities in other regions. , is heading towards the direction of Wangxing City with murderous intent, coming in mighty force!"

"As expected, how many troops did the other party send?"

Lei Xiao took a deep breath slowly, and asked with frowned eyebrows.

"Return to Lord Lord, counting the two reinforcements that were retreated by your empty city before, the number of each army is about 15 legions, a total of more than 300,000 people!"

In Auer's steady voice, there was obviously a little more tremor, and he continued: "According to reports from scouts from all over the country, judging from the flags, not only the four kingdom generals loyal to the first prince and the second prince went into battle together, but also included There are quite a few top aristocratic legions who are well-known and powerful in Lengyan!"

"30 legions? That's equivalent to the combat power of more than 30 fifth-tier powerhouses, and behind such a large army, how many fifth-tier powerhouses are secretly ready to move?"

Just when Lei Xiao's gaze was serious and his brows were furrowed more and more.

Orr's voice was slightly puzzled, and came again: "My lord, there is another thing that makes my subordinates very concerned. Whether it is the power of the first prince or the power of the second prince, they are extremely restrained from each other. They were doing their own thing, but there was no conflict at all, which was very different from the usual situation."

"Understood, you wait for me in Wangxing City, I will be there later."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then closed the reading.

Seeing Lei Xiao's emotional change, the other subordinates present all looked over with solemn faces, waiting for Lei Xiao's next instruction.

"Senior Garth, it seems that now is no longer the time to continue to sigh."

Lei Xiao smiled faintly at the old alchemist, and then said seriously: "The enemy is approaching, a life-and-death battle is coming, and the time left for us to prepare and respond is already numbered."

"Then let the old man do his best."

I saw Gals knelt down on the ground, bowed deeply to Lei Xiao and said, "Subordinate Gals Bingliu, I am willing to swear allegiance to the lord Lord!"

"With the addition of Senior Garth, I will be even more powerful."

Lei Xiao's eyes were piercing, and a Tier 4 Recruitment Order exuding a faint golden light appeared between his fingers.

It didn't take long before the familiar reminder sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.

[Congratulations, the fourth-rank nine-star ice magician Garth Bingliu has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】

Before the prompt ended, Lei Xiao helped the old alchemist who was still in a state of agitation to his feet.

So far, this long-renowned human alchemy master has successfully become a member of the territory.

"Although the enemy is present, watching the fresh blood flow into the territory still makes people excited. This shows that I am becoming stronger all the time."

Lei Xiao was overjoyed and opened Gals' property bar.

【Name: Gals】

【Occupation: Great Ice Mage】

[Rank: Tier 4 Nine Stars]

【Loyalty: 100】

[Skill 1: Ice Fang Burst "Active" (Ice attribute spell group attack, additional deceleration effect and piercing effect)]

[Skill 2: Snow and Ice "Active" (wide-area attack with ice attribute spells, additional deceleration and freezing effects, and turning the current terrain into ice)]

[Skill 3: Permafrost Ice Wall "Active" (Ice attribute defensive spell, which can be automatically repaired, and the effect is outstanding on ice terrain)]

[Skill 4: Mastery of Ice Attribute Magic "Passive" (When using Ice Attribute Magic, moderately increases the damage)]

[Skill 5: Tier 4 Alchemy "Passive" (can use alchemy circle to refine potion)]

"Senior Gals, the situation is urgent, follow me to Wangxing City first, and talk about other things later."

After closing the attribute bar, Lei Xiao first nodded to the old alchemist, and then said to Jiang Li: "Let's go, go to Wangxing City as fast as possible."

"Obey, my lord."

Jiang Li bowed to accept the order, and drew a light gray hexagram in midair with his slender fingers, and the group disappeared into the cave in an instant.

After that, Lei Xiao and others passed through Fenglong City, and soon came to the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion in Wangxing City.

"See Lord Lord!"

The three legion commanders, Orr, Benson, and Huo De stationed in Wangxing City, immediately stepped forward and bowed in salute.

Among them, Orr, the lord of Fanyin City, and Ben Sen, the lord of Luolong City, needless to say, these two direct subordinates, naturally they all follow Lei Xiao's lead.

But Huo De, the lord of Gelin City who was not subdued by Lei Xiao, was full of reverence, and at the same time, there was a touch of urgency on his resolute face.

You know, it was this tall and straight young man in front of him who bestowed on him a set of three pieces of fifth-tier knight equipment at the township level. With such a supreme grace, what else can he get in return besides being heartbroken?

If you can join the lord's command in this way, it would be great...

"Before this, I didn't intend to directly subdue Huo De, just let him serve under Ariel's command."

Seeing Huo De's urgent expression, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, and thought to himself.

"However, the current situation is extremely tense, and Huo De is one of the indispensable senior generals. I am also ready to entrust him with important tasks, so I can simply take him under my command, and it will be much more convenient in terms of communication."

After making up his mind, Lei Xiao flashed out a golden Tier 4 Recruitment Order again, and expressed his thoughts to Huo De.

The latter was naturally overjoyed, and immediately knelt down in front of Lei Xiao.

Not long after, a pleasant reminder came to Lei Xiao's ears.

[Congratulations, Huode Falcon, the leader of the fourth-rank and two-star knights, has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】

"In this way, I officially have an extra general under my command."

Lei Xiao leaned down to help the middle-aged knight lord up, and at the same time opened the opponent's attribute bar.

【Name: Hodder】

[Occupation: Knight Leader]

[Class: Tier 4, 2-star]

【Loyalty: 100】

[Skill 1: Falcon Lance Spinner "Active" (Physical single-target attack, additional armor-piercing effect)]

[Skill 2: Falcon Sword Triple Sting "Active" (Physical single-target attack, additional armor-piercing effect)]

[Skill 4: Sword and Gun Proficiency "Passive" (When using a long sword or lance, moderately increases damage)]

"Is it the knight leader? It belongs to the upper class of ordinary knights, especially the passive skill, which can obviously have a good effect in the face of strong enemies."

Lei Xiao closed Hodder's attribute bar and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, surrounded by his subordinates, Lei Xiao came to sit down on the throne in the hall, directly connected the subordinates from all over the place, and started an emergency meeting.

"Al, tell me about the current situation in detail."

After confirming that the subordinates from all over the place were in place, Lei Xiao nodded to the city lord Fanyin who was wearing a magic robe.

"My colleagues, the situation is like this..."

Orr stroked his chest and saluted, and repeated the latest information he had just obtained.

After listening to Orr's description, the entire hall was silent.

At present, apart from the lord army of the Xiaoshen regiment, which is weak in combat effectiveness, there are only three legions stationed in Wangxing City, Fanyin, Gelin, and Luolong. There are 30 legions!

With such a gap, even if it is simply bombarded with magic cannons, Wangxing City will be completely razed to the ground soon!

What's more, the war has just ended, our side is exhausted, and these forces of the other side are all in full swing!

At that time, Wangxing City, the fortress city as the gateway, will be lost. Once the opponent's army drives straight in, the other cities will naturally be defeated one by one.

"Everyone, leaving aside the huge number of opponents for now, did you notice a detail in Orr's description just now?"

Lei Xiao took the black tea handed by Ariel, his eyes sparkling indifferently.

Although Lei Xiao, who had no idea in his heart, also understood clearly.

Next, I will surely face an unprecedented and massive battle, which will also determine whether I can continue to survive.

But as a leader, he naturally cannot show any cowardice in front of his subordinates.

After all, it is already a fact that the enemy is outnumbered. In this extremely unfavorable situation, if morale falls again, then I am afraid that there is really no way to recover.

"My lord, are you saying that when the first prince and the second prince marched, there was nothing wrong with each other?"

On the other side of the conversation, the solemn voice of Marquis Rose came out.

"That's right, as the saying goes, there must be monsters when things go wrong. Not long ago, the two were fighting each other to the death, but now they are living in peace. This has to make people care."

Lei Xiao took a sip of the black tea and said flatly, "As for the reason, some of the people present must have already thought of it, right?"

"My lord, do you mean that the first prince and the second prince are likely to have formed an alliance temporarily?"

On Benson's fair face covered with scars, his brows could not help but frown.

"Not very likely, but inevitable."

Lei Xiao gently put down the teacup in his hand, nodded and said, "Both sent troops at the same time, and both aimed at Star City. This has already reached a tacit understanding without words."

"The most important thing is that although the two deliberately kept a little distance in an attempt to confuse us, it has instead become evidence of an alliance between the two. After all, whether it is the first prince or the second prince, it is by no means the kind of calm The presence."

When Lei Xiao said this, he looked at Ariel who was standing beside him, and said with a smile, "I'm right, right?"

"Your lord is right. Based on the subordinate's understanding of the elder brother and the second brother, even if one party tries to temporarily ease the situation, the other party will definitely bite to death and do everything possible to reduce the other party's vitality. All is well."

Ariel nodded emphatically, and responded respectfully: "As the lord said, the two obviously reached some kind of agreement, which is why this happened."

After finishing speaking, Ariel's starry eyes flickered, and there was a bit of indescribable reverence in her gaze towards Lei Xiao.

This Lengyan fifth princess clearly understands.

It was this young man from another world in front of him that made him grow from an arrogant and savage princess to a woman who could truly stand alone.

Thinking of this, Ariel seemed to recall something, and quickly looked away from Lei Xiao, her ears blushed involuntarily.

"So, is it true that the first prince and the second prince have formed an alliance?"

An old voice sounded, and Burt's awe-inspiring voice came out from the reading: "Let's not worry about anything else, the four generals of the kingdom alone are enough to make people extremely vigilant..."

At this point, Burt hesitated to speak, obviously afraid of further affecting morale, and did not continue.

"Old General Burt, there are no outsiders here, so it doesn't matter what you say."

Lei Xiao's reassuring and gentle voice rang out, "If we don't even dare to face up to our opponents, how can we defeat them?"

"Obey, my lord."

There was a deep breathing sound from the other end of the conversation, and Burt went on to say: "Although these four people are representatives of the traditional aristocracy and the new aristocracy, they usually commit crimes and evil, but in terms of command ability and strategy, they are all He is worthy of the title of general of the kingdom."

"According to my subordinates' understanding, these four people have their own strengths, and their methods are extremely ruthless. Each of them has achieved amazing and impressive records on the battlefield."

Burt's old voice gradually became solemn, and he continued: "Although these four people were unable to mobilize the royal army, I can infer that these four people must have secretly trained a good army-level force, and their strength is extremely strong. Not to be underestimated."

"What Senior Burt said is very true. You must know that except for national wars, there are almost never more than four kingdom generals dispatched at the same time."

An orange-white sassy voice rang out, "Please rest assured, my lord. Under the circumstances that the strength of the troops is not much different, whether it is the subordinates or Senior Burt, they are very confident that they can defeat these guys!"

Although the orange-white momentum was full, the hall fell into a short silence again, and an uneasy atmosphere quietly permeated.

Everyone clearly understands it in their hearts.

Even so, the huge gap in military strength still cannot be easily erased, not to mention that the opponent is in its heyday, while our side is exhausted.

Sensing the emotional fluctuations of his subordinates, Lei Xiao's face remained calm.

The news of the union of the two princes is indeed the worst situation, somewhat beyond my expectations.

But on this point, I have carefully considered.

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao's calm and reassuring voice reached the ears of every subordinate.

"Everyone, it is an indisputable fact that the opponent is coming fiercely, but the huge gap in military strength is not irreparable."

"In other words, although this is destined to be an arduous and bloody battle, the spark of victory still exists ahead. As long as we work together, we may be able to let this faint light illuminate the entire earth."

Hearing Lei Xiao's words, all the people present were excited, their eyes lit up, and they looked over in unison.
