Chapter 1163 Dilemma and Decision

Faced with this series of sudden changes, Lei Xiao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and carefully examined the current situation in his mind.

In just a few minutes, not only did Thor and other 30 summoned legions disappear in the city, but even the 50 legions on the city walls evaporated on the spot and lost their traces in an instant.

This undoubtedly means that the 130 legions of our side attacking the city have been reduced by 80 at once, which has been cut in half, and I don’t even have the slightest clue where these 80 legions have gone.

While Lei Xiao frowned and thought, Hui Lao and Joniel and others on the top of the mountain obviously discovered this sudden change. They couldn’t help but open their eyes wide and took a breath of the cold air.

It must be said that all this came too abruptly and weirdly. Even these two top powerhouses standing at the top of the human race didn’t find any clues at all.

However, although it is unknown how the Holy Temple of Light did it, it is certain that the young Prince of the Holy Lion is obviously in great trouble.

"I thought that after the Holy Lion Prince cracked the fatal illusion array, it was a foregone conclusion to capture the Brilliant City, but I didn't expect that the Holy Temple of Light would do this again."

The Gray Old Man was surprised in his heart, and frowned at the old alchemist and said: "Old man, if it were you, what would you do now?"

"It's really a sharp question."

Yonir narrowed his old eyes and stroked his gray beard lightly, saying: "Everything is still unclear at present, but it is certain that this must be the method of the Holy Temple of Light. If you continue to blindly enter the city, the result will only be the same, just walking into a trap."

"Old man, do you mean to give up the soldiers who fell into the trap for the time being, choose to retreat and then make a long-term plan is the best choice?"

Gray The old man raised his eyelids and asked, "Since the other side has swallowed up most of the army, do you think the other side will let you leave with the remnants of the defeated army?"

"I didn't say I would retreat, I just said that entering the city is not the best choice."

Yoniel looked like he was blowing his beard and staring, and asked back, "Old man, you have a good plan. Let me express my opinion first, then I ask you, if it were you, what would you do next?"

"I just haven't thought about it yet, so I asked you."

The gray old man shrugged and raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that you, old man, are just like this."

"Old man, didn't you come up with a good plan? You are so embarrassed to say that to me."

Yoniel rolled his eyes at the gray old man and frowned again.

Hearing the two of them say this, Diana on the side blinked her long eyelashes, and a solemn look surged on her fair face.

Even the leaders of the two neutral organizations did not have any countermeasures. It is not difficult to see that the Prince of the Holy Lion was obviously caught in a dilemma.

While Diana was feeling solemn, a little curiosity appeared on her face.

She wanted to take a good look at what choice the Prince of the Holy Lion from another world could make in the face of such a strange situation.

While the atmosphere on the top of the mountain was a little solemn, the atmosphere at Lei Xiao's place outside the city was already solemn to the extreme.

I saw that Catherine, Louise and other blood clan generals had gathered again, all with a frown on their faces.

Through the latest news summary, Lei Xiao learned further.

In addition to the 30 main legions and 21 fifth-level strongmen who disappeared inexplicably in the first batch, in the second batch of 50 legions that disappeared inexplicably, the fifth-level strongmen such as the White Knight, Nolan, Prince of the Spirit Staff, Valentin, and Paladin Jared, and several kingdom generals also lost their traces, leaving no clues.

Lei Xiao looked around. The only main warriors and generals around him were Jiang Li, Tiger Stick, and Hong Ye, three fifth-level subordinates, Scarlet Queen Catherine, Louise who had just come down from the "Fortress", Bert, and Ju Bai, two kingdom generals, and several fourth-level subordinates.

"Hey, human prince, what should we do next?"

Louise's fair face was full of urgency. She frowned and asked Lei Xiao: "You should think of a solution quickly."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao first patted Louise's shoulder gently, indicating that she should not be anxious.

Then Lei Xiao calmed down and said, "Although it is not clear where the 80 legions of our side disappeared went and what means the other side used to do it, it is certain that the residents of Huangyao City and the other side's army must have disappeared in this way."

"This means that this method itself has no lethality. Whether it is the disappeared opponent or our side, they should have just been transferred to a certain place."

Lei Xiao carefully examined the current situation and continued, "No matter where they go or what kind of crisis they face, our soldiers will never surrender, which means that there must be a glimmer of hope."

"This is their hope and our hope. As long as there is hope, the flame of life will not be extinguished."

Hearing Lei Xiao's words, the atmosphere that was originally extremely solemn suddenly eased a lot.

After feeling relieved in her heart, Catherine cheered up and asked with doubts on her face, "Then what means did the other side use to make the army disappear? Is there a hidden enchantment area here?"

Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao first looked at Jiang Li, then shook his head helplessly and said: "Unfortunately, Your Majesty, there are no traces of the barrier area here, and when the army disappeared, there was no sound. There is no doubt about the signs of spatial fluctuations.”

Just as Lei Xiao said, when Sol and others disappeared inexplicably, Lei Xiao had already ordered Jiang Li, who had returned to the fifth level peak, to detect all possible spatial fluctuations.

However, until the changes occurred closer to the city wall, Jiang Li did not detect any traces of spatial fluctuations.

Furthermore, no matter how powerful the space system expert is, it is impossible to open such a vast entrance to the void space and teleport hundreds of thousands of troops instantly.

To put it bluntly, even if someone could open such a huge entrance to the void space, it would be impossible without leaving any traces.

"There is no sign of space fluctuations? How did the army disappear?"

Catherine's face was filled with disbelief, and she could hardly believe her ears.

"That's something that's hard to explain right now."

Lei Xiao froze his eyebrows, looked at the surrounding Phantom Legion, and continued: "At the same time, under the vigilance of the Phantom Legion, we can also rule out the possibility that illusions cover everything up."

"It's neither illusion nor teleportation? Then where did our soldiers go?"

Louise stamped her feet, looking extremely crazy: "Could the other party still wait for me to use the vampire's specialty to atomize and directly transfer the soldiers into the space gap?"

"Lord True Ancestor, this is absolutely impossible. Don't forget that the opponent disappeared first in the beginning. Even our vampires cannot survive in the gap between space, let alone those enemy soldiers and ordinary residents?"

Catherine immediately rejected Louise's idea, shook her head slightly and said: "Furthermore, the gap space has strong repulsion, and no living body can be passively transported into it, otherwise our vampires will just throw the enemy into the gap in the space. , isn’t everything going to be fine?”

However, as soon as Catherine finished her words, Jiang Li's eyes lit up and she blurted out to Lei Xiao: "Lord, my subordinates know the opponent's methods!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao immediately became energetic and nodded to indicate to the other party to continue speaking.

"Lord, the opponent used a transfer technique, not a teleportation technique, so there was no trace of energy fluctuations left!"

Jiang Li looked suddenly enlightened and began to explain.

"Teleportation, as the name suggests, is when the caster opens a channel between the void space and the real space, using the void space that is completely different from the real space as a springboard to achieve the purpose of instant movement."

"The moment the void space channel is opened, due to the suction of the void space and the self-healing of the real space, a large number of abnormal space fluctuations will occur. This is the key to my subordinate's detection!"

"Compared with the medium and long-distance teleportation technique, which is mainly used for medium and long-distance teleportation, the transfer technique is completely different. It can only be used for short-distance teleportation, and does not need to open the void space, just open the space gap."

Hearing Jiang Lei say this, Lei Xiao nodded suddenly and said thoughtfully: "I understand, it is precisely because the transfer technique does not need to open the void space, so it will not send out space fluctuations, right?"

"Lord, it's not that it won't be emitted at all, but compared to teleportation, the spatial fluctuations emitted by transfer are extremely weak and easier to cover up."

Jiang Lei nodded to Lei Xiao and responded: "Since the other party is able to perform such a large-scale transfer technique, it is not surprising that it can cover up the spatial fluctuations."

"So that's it. I didn't expect that there are still people who can teleport short distances through space gaps!"

Louise's starry eyes lit up, and she suddenly said: "If this is the case, it means that our army must still be not far from Huangyao City. We only need to find the location of the army around us, and then go to support. Everything will be done." It will be solved naturally!”

"Things are not that simple. There are no other cities or places around Huangyao City that can hide the army, and all the missing armies have lost contact and cannot make contact. I am afraid they are not around us."

Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then asked: "Jiang Li, can you find the specific location of our missing army by tracking the clues of the opponent's transfer technique?"

"Back to Lord, I can't do it. Transfer is a long-lost ancient spell. I just heard the teacher mention it. Compared with teleportation, transfer can move on a larger scale."

Jiang Li shook her head helplessly and responded: "However, just as Her Majesty the Scarlet Queen said, the space gap has a strong repelling effect on living bodies, far more than the void space that can swallow everything, so my subordinates If you can’t use the transfer technique, you can’t track it.”

"I didn't expect that the other party used a long-lost spell."

Catherine frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked: "Your Excellency Jiang Li, are you able to track the location of our disappeared army through teleportation?"

"To be honest with Her Majesty the Queen, the lord and I have already tried it from the beginning."

Jiang Li nodded to Catherine and responded: "The lord has just mentioned that the disappearing army cannot appear around us because there are a large number of our eyes and ears all around, including those high in the sky, plus the transfer There is no doubt that the movement range of the technique is limited.”

"Since they are not around, Lord Jiang Xi, do you mean deep underground in Huangyao City?"

Catherine immediately reacted, her eyes lit up and she said, "Can we open a space tunnel to send us directly to the deep underground?"

"The Lord has just told me to try, but I still can't do it."

Jiang Xi frowned and shook his head, responding, "The other party may have used some special method to block the location of the underground space, so that outsiders can't teleport directly in."

After Jiang Xi finished speaking, everyone frowned again, making the atmosphere solemn again.

Although we already know the other party's means, we still can't do anything.

"At least we know that the disappeared army must be deep underground in Huangyao City."

Lei Xiao has obviously recovered from his surprise and confusion, and smiled and said, "It's not a complete loss, right?"

"Your Highness, have you thought about what to do?"

Looking at Lei Xiao's calm face, Catherine asked immediately.

"The missing Lengyan soldiers had followed me all the way to here. Some veterans had even been by my side since the time of Kongqing Town. They fought side by side with me in the dark and greeted the dawn with me in the bloody battle. They had made great contributions to me."

Lei Xiao's eyes were bright and he said solemnly: "Since they have been trapped deep underground by the opponent, I will naturally not ignore them. I will bring them all back, even if it costs a great price, because we have long been inseparable."

At this point, Lei Xiao smiled faintly at Catherine, and said: "Since we can't go deep underground by ourselves, we can directly use the opponent's transfer array. Isn't that enough?"

"Your Highness, you are going to the tiger mountain even though you know there is a tiger there. Once you make a mistake, everything will be over!"

Catherine was stunned at first, and then she said in surprise: "You are the opponent's number one target. Once you step into Huangyao City, you will fall into the trap carefully deployed by the opponent. This is simply a trap!"

"So what? My soldiers deserve this and are looking forward to my rescue. I will naturally not let any of them down."

Lei Xiao still kept smiling and responded: "Besides, the trump card I have is no longer the same as before. Even if the opponent sets a trap, it depends on whether they have the ability to trap me. "
