Chapter 1231 Shock at the Fortress

Cecilia, dressed in silver knight armor, appeared in front of Blair and other soldiers.

The silvery moonlight fell on the city wall, reflecting her fair and delicate face. Her noble and cold temperament and clean and neat spirit complemented each other, which made Blair and others stunned.

"I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the First Princess!"

In surprise, Blair and other soldiers around him immediately knelt on one knee and saluted Cecilia respectfully.

Although Cecilia was relieved of her position as the commander of the Pars Army, her prestige as a fifth-level strongman and her noble royal blood were naturally enough to make Blair and others bow their heads.

In addition, as another princess general with a reputation comparable to Caroline, Cecilia's strength and superb command ability also made every soldier of the Pars Empire admire her.

"No need to be polite, everyone please stand up."

Cecilia held the silver knight's helmet with one hand, and the hair on her forehead fluttered slowly in the night wind.

She looked at the burly fortress guard in front of her and said again: "If I remember correctly, you are Lord Brell? What are you going to do?"

"Your Highness, we are going to help the powerful man under the city!"

Brell's resolute face became nervous again, and he said quickly: "Those bronze statues of demon breakers are the natural nemesis of magicians. I'm afraid the powerful man can't hold on for long!"

"Although we are weak, we can't just watch the situation of the powerful man become more passive!"

Brell became more and more anxious as he spoke, and saluted with his chest: "Please allow us to go out of the city to help!"

After Brell said this, including the young staff officer and the scout captain who was shot in the knee, and even those trembling old magicians, all nodded, with anxious expressions on their faces.

Just as Brell said, they have been fighting against foreign races in the border fortress for many years, and they are very familiar with the bronze statue of the demon breaker.

This is a special magic creation with functions very similar to the real demon breaker. Although it cannot open space cracks and convert spells into the void space like the real demon breaker, as long as the magic power is continuously injected, it can also offset and weaken the effect of spells.

Originally, this bronze statue of the demon breaker is the symbol of the wild boar people, and is specially deployed in the army to restrain the opponent's magic attack.

But from now on, the cunning gnolls have obviously learned this special skill. In addition, the gnolls are more proficient in spells than the wild boars, and they also have more magic soldiers, which will cause great trouble to the mysterious strong man.

Once those gnoll soldiers approach again, the mysterious strong man will undoubtedly be in a very dangerous situation.

Although their strength is limited, if they can play some role and reduce some of the pressure on the strong man, they will die without regrets.

"I understand your anxiety and courage, but if you leave the city, you will only hinder that lord."

Cecilia waved her hand, and her words revealed an irrepressible respect, and she said, "Don't worry, that lord's strength is far beyond your imagination. You just need to appreciate his heroic figure on the city wall."

Needless to say, the reason why Cecilia took the initiative to show up and stop Brell and others was naturally to obey Lei Xiao's order.

And, she, who had witnessed Lei Xiao's strength and background with her own eyes, also understood clearly.

Not to mention the main force of our side hiding in the dark, just the various golem puppets carried by Lei Xiao are enough to easily destroy these jackals dozens of times.

"Yes, Your Highness."

After hearing Cecilia's words, although Brell and others were still worried, they still saluted respectfully and stood back to their original positions.

At the same time as returning to their positions, Brell's resolute face couldn't help but show a hint of doubt.

The sudden appearance of Her Highness Cecilia here was already extremely puzzling.

But what was even more strange was that Her Highness Cecilia actually called the mysterious strongman "that lord", which was simply incredible.

You know, Her Highness Cecilia is a noble Pars royal family of pure blood. Being able to see her style and hear her voice up close is enough for these soldiers to brag about for a lifetime and become the most proud topic of conversation at the wine table.

And in the entire Pars Empire, and even in the entire human world, which country-level strongman is qualified to be so honored by Her Highness?

While Brell was puzzled, the battlefield under the night was still surging, and the jackal soldiers wielding sharp blades had surrounded Lei Xiao again.

Although Lei Xiao's Thunder Field was still working, it was no longer possible to completely eliminate the surrounding jackal soldiers under the offset of those demon-breaking bronze statues.

"Interesting, those bronze statues actually have similar effects to the Demon Breaker? It seems that these alien races do have some tricks, otherwise they would not have been able to fight with the Pars Empire in this long marginal area for so many years."

Looking at the gnoll soldiers who gathered around again, Lei Xiao's face was calm, and he raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "But if you want to use such tricks to put me in a passive position, it's too whimsical."

"Whale Fall Thunder Explosion!"

"Triple Thunderfall Technique!"

As a series of instant spells surged out, Lei Xiao continued to rush left and right in the dark enemy formation. The cold arrows and spells occasionally shot by the opponent were all intercepted by the energy barrier.

As for the ordinary jackal soldiers who rushed up, they couldn't even touch Lei Xiao's shadow, so they could only vent their anger with roars and howls.

During the high-speed movement, a high-pitched chant sounded, and the magic power surged around Lei Xiao's body. The surging wind even blew away all the nearby Jackal soldiers.

"Five levels of lightning strikes!"

Just hearing a cold shout from Lei Xiao, a huge thunder fell from the sky, and the dazzling thunder light even reflected the entire night sky like daylight in an instant.

boom!

With a deafening bang, a large, smoking hole was suddenly blown out of the densely packed jackal formation.

On the scorched ground filled with black smoke, everything, including several teams of jackal shamans carrying the bronze statue of the Demon Breaker, was reduced to nothingness.

"Since it can offset my spell, then just blow your critical point."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and purple light surged in his palms.

Originally, even a fifth-level magic powerhouse would find it difficult to cast high-level spells while moving at high speed. After all, as the caster leaves the place, the energy particles that have just condensed will dissipate again due to loss of control.

But of course Lei Xiao is not an ordinary magic powerhouse. With the blessing of the power of the gods and the thunder field, plus the blessing of Odost, it is naturally easy to do all this, and the casting speed will not be affected at all. Influence.

Under Lei Xiao's targeted attacks, more and more bronze statues of Demon Breakers began to be destroyed with thunderous force, allowing Lei Xiao, who had been somewhat passive, to gain the upper hand again.

As for the magic power consumed by the fifth-level thunderbolt spell, it is indeed much higher than other low-level spells. However, in the same way, with the blessing of the divine power and high-level equipment, Lei Xiao's consumption is naturally reduced to the greatest extent.

"As expected of the mysterious and powerful man!"

On the towering city wall, the eyes of Blair and others reflected one after another purple light, and they began to rejoice again.

Cecilia's fair face was filled with uncontrollable reverence as she stared closely at the tall figure like a purple meteor on the battlefield.

But just a while later, just when everyone thought Lei Xiao was going to regain control of the battlefield, another change occurred.

A strange change suddenly occurred in the huge Jackal army formation. A large number of ordinary Jackal soldiers who were besieging them began to move closer to each other, thus leaving a path leading to Lei Xiao.

Immediately afterwards, one group after another of obviously much more powerful jackals used their hands and feet, holding sharp blades in their mouths, and began to approach Lei Xiao from all directions at extremely fast speeds. The astonishing speed was no less than that of the human cavalry galloping on the battlefield.

"Those are the elite power runners of the main army of Jackals. Only the most elite heavy cavalry can compete with them head-on!"

Blair swallowed involuntarily, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead again.

A few years ago, when he was still the captain of the mixed brigade, he once led five second-order light cavalry squadrons under his command and had an accidental encounter with the same number of Jackal runners.

As a result, almost all the knights under his command were wiped out. Only he and a few personal guards managed to escape from the pile of corpses, while the other party's losses were minimal, which is evident from this.

Not only are the gnoll runners as fast as horses, but they are also extremely agile and agile. They also possess terrifying jumping power and are good at jumping directly on top of their targets to attack them in the face. They are simply nightmare-like existences.

Seeing this scene, the other soldiers on the city wall also had their throats rolling and became worried.

The most important thing is that these jackal runners do not need to charge a certain distance to reach the ultimate speed like ordinary horses, but can reach the highest speed at will.

Even though the mysterious powerful man comes and goes without a trace, the threat is still much greater than that of ordinary jackals.

"No, those who are rushing towards the mysterious strong man are not just batches of Jackal runners, there are also many high-level Jackal warriors among them!"

Blair's eyes narrowed and he blurted out again.

Having been at war with these foreign races all year round, he quickly distinguished among the huge enemy formations. Those rushing towards Lei Xiao were clearly some high-level jackals filled with murderous intent!

"So, those Gnoll Runners are just a cover?"

The middle-aged scout captain exclaimed with uneasiness on his face: "After experiencing the attack of the strong master, this jackal army still maintained a relatively complete formation and did not retreat. I'm afraid there must be a fifth-level strong man taking command. !”

Hearing the sound, an uneasy feeling spread on the city wall again.

As the saying goes, a tiger is no match for a pack of wolves. At present, the mysterious powerful man has crippled at least two jackal legions with his thunderous force. The magic power may have bottomed out.

In this case, if we are besieged again by a team led by a strong fifth-level opponent of the same class, we will definitely fall into an extremely dangerous situation!

"No, we still have to find a way to support the mysterious powerhouse!"

With this in mind, just when Blair turned to Cecilia and was about to ask for permission, he discovered that at some point, two figures exuding monstrous momentum were standing next to the latter.

"Chief Commander Barnett? Chief Magister Antonio?"

After seeing the two figures beside Cecilia, Brell's eyes widened.

Even he had never seen the three great men of the Pars Empire gathered together!

Around Brell, the other fortress soldiers were shocked and hurriedly saluted the two newcomers.

"General Brell, you are the commander of this fortress, how can you be so flustered."

Barnett, who was wearing plate armor, first waved his hand casually to indicate that everyone did not need to be polite, and then nodded slightly and said: "Don't worry, the strength of that lord is definitely not just this."

"Yes, after all, it is that lord."

Antonio stroked his long white beard and said with a smile: "Just watch the battle with peace of mind. It will be the greatest honor and luck in your life to be able to see the heroism of that lord with your own eyes and be saved by that lord."

"Not only Her Highness Cecilia, but even Lord Barnett and Lord Antonio also call that mysterious strong man that lord?"

As everyone stood up, the shock on their faces was beyond words.

You know, Lord Antonio, who has been in the palace for hundreds of years, needless to say, even His Majesty the Emperor has to treat him with courtesy and respectfully call him teacher.

Lord Barnett is the god of war of the Pars Empire, and he frightens those restless aliens. They have never bowed their heads, and were even allowed to walk side by side with His Majesty the Emperor at every triumphal celebration.

Even so, these three high-ranking figures are willing to call the mysterious strong man "that lord". Who is that lord? !

While the soldiers such as Brell were astonished, Cecilia and the other two did not care about the strange looks they cast, and all looked at Lei Xiao on the battlefield with reverence.

The night deepened, and the smoke and blood on the battlefield became more and more dense.

In the center of the battlefield, facing the jackal raiders who were charging frantically, Lei Xiao discovered the opponent's intention at the first time, and his calm face remained calm.

Behind Lei Xiao, the wolf leader who was mixed in the crowd had murderous intent in his eyes, wielding a short knife, and rushed towards Lei Xiao.

"Arrogant and clumsy human mage, go to hell! Your staff is accepted by this leader!"

Seeing the leader's fangs suddenly exposed, the other wolf warriors followed closely with ferocious faces, and attacked Lei Xiao from all directions.
