Chapter 24 Sudden Crisis
Seeing that the three of them all looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, Lei Xiao's expression also turned cold, and he immediately asked: "What happened? Could it be that the aura of a strange and strong man appeared around the territory?"
"My lord, to be precise, it's not a certain person, but an entire army." Nan Xing said with seriousness on his fair face, and his brows were tightly frowned.
"That's right, this aura is huge and messy. Although the strength of each component is very limited, when gathered together, it presents a uniform and icy feeling."
"It can be clearly felt that this is a force that cannot be ignored. According to my subordinates' speculation, it should be a professional team that has experienced blood and fire."
Knotweed condensed his mind, and while sensing the approaching danger, he nodded in agreement.
"How many people are there? Where are they coming from?"
Lei Xiao's heart began to pound, and he felt that the meat skewer in his hand was not fragrant in an instant.
Facing this sudden life-and-death crisis, Lei Xiao, whose scalp was numb, first waved his hands to signal the three of them not to let the other subordinates notice, and then lowered his voice.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that before things became clear, it was better not to cause large-scale panic in the territory for the time being.
"Lord Lord, the number of people is estimated to be between 2,000 and 3,000. Most of them are composed of first-tier soldiers, and a small part are second-tier soldiers. However, it is not ruled out that there are third-tier strongmen, and the fourth-tier and above have not been found."
Hu Zhang understood immediately, and after confirming that no one had noticed, he said solemnly to Lei Xiao: "As for the direction, it is in the northeast direction, and we are currently marching towards the location of the territory."
After finishing speaking, the rough face of Polygonum cuspidatum began to become more dignified.
With the strength of his fifth-level powerhouse, even an army of this size can retreat completely, or simply kill the opponent to throw up their helmets and armor.
However, the current situation is completely different. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and Bo Yun is treacherous. The most important thing is that our base camp cannot move at all here.
If in the process of fighting with the opponent's main force, the opponent sends out a surprise soldier to take the opportunity to attack the territory, or finds the lord, the consequences will undoubtedly be disastrous.
After all, there is only one day left in the protective cover, and by then, the entire territory will be completely exposed to the opponent.
Thinking of this, Knotweed clenched his fists.
With the dragon-slaying sword bestowed by the lord, if you give yourself a certain amount of time, it is not impossible to completely wipe out this power.
But what if this is just the enemy's vanguard, or decoy troops? You know, even as a fifth-order powerhouse, there will inevitably be a moment of exhaustion!
Knotweed, who had been in the army for a while before accepting the call, understood clearly.
A real war is different from a one-on-one duel with one person, but needs to face thousands of well-organized opponents at the same time.
A well-trained army with high morale can often exert a terrifying power that is several times, or even ten times, greater than that of an individual!
It can be seen from this that among the ten thousand armies, no matter how strong an individual is, it is only a slap in the face, at most it can control a part, and it is difficult to affect the overall situation.
An experienced army commander has too many means to disperse the opponent's combat power, and then go straight to Huanglong to break through the opponent's base camp in one fell swoop.
And no matter how good he is at fighting, there is only one person in the end, and he can fully protect the lord to break through or take other actions with ease.
But once the enemy aggressively attacks the territory from all directions, the situation will be very critical.
"2000-3000 people, in the northeast direction of the territory?"
After the initial extreme tension, Lei Xiao felt the hairs all over his body stand on end, tried his best to suppress the throbbing in his heart, and tried his best to calm himself down and think.
According to the information obtained before, it can be known.
To the north of the territory is an endless mountain range, and the two human kingdoms closest to the territory are not in that direction.
So, here comes the problem.
Where did this sudden force come from?
Besides, it only took two days for me to travel to this strange world.
The location of his territory has never been revealed.
Under such circumstances, how could it be possible to attract such a large number of enemies?
Taking a step back, even if they encountered the Kunbu two during the day, they accidentally exposed the location of the territory.
But the businessman and the mercenary had already left by boat from the west, and their directions were not right at all.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao relieved a little, and let out a sigh of relief.
So far, there is only one possibility left.
"The target of this strange army is by no means my territory, it's just that the directions coincide for the time being."
Lei Xiao wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and continued to think.
"So, is there any place in this forest that can attract the opponent's late-night rush march here?"
Thinking up to this point in his mind, Lei Xiao was startled, and then he had an answer.
"My lord, what should we do next?"
Feeling the huge and piercing aura getting closer, Nan Xing's fair face was almost completely covered with anxiety, and Nan Yue showed the same expression.
I saw two pairs of identical star pupils facing each other, and they could see a trace of obvious uneasiness in each other's eyes.
"Don't worry, if my predictions are correct, the opponent's target is not us."
Lei Xiao casually touched the heads of the two of them, and said with a faint smile.
"My lord, do you mean that the other party has other plans?"
Looking at the calm and unhurried Lei Xiao, Hu Zhang couldn't help but wonder.
"That's right."
Lei Xiao took a bite of the meat skewer that was already cold in his hand, and responded confidently: "I think, since it's a hasty march, the other party will soon change their marching route."
Sure enough, when Lei Xiao finished the big string, almost at the same time, the three of the three members of the knotweed felt that the other party did not continue to approach the territory, but turned their heads and went south.
Sensing that the hostile atmosphere was getting farther and farther away, all three of them heaved a long sigh of relief, especially the knotweed, looking at Lei Xiao with a touch of sincere respect.
If it is said that in a battlefield where corpses are strewn across the field, the only individual who can determine the outcome of the entire battle is the army commander who is above all armies!
An excellent commander, even if a large army is pressing down on the country, facing the turbulent stormy waves, he can be fearless in the face of danger, make a plan before making a move, strategize with his fingers, and make the enemy bloody for thousands of miles.
And through the incident just now, it can be clearly seen that the lord in front of him undoubtedly has initially possessed such qualities!
"A good commander can lead his subordinates to victory, otherwise, they will fall into the abyss."
Looking at Lei Xiao's calm face, Hu Zhang secretly sighed in his heart.
In the previous battlefields, I have seen too many commanders. When facing fierce enemies or at a disadvantage, their minds went blank, and they could not think normally at all. They would often issue unimaginable orders, or simply send soldiers to die.
But the lord in front of him gave himself a sense of peace of mind that was as stable as Mount Tai.
Thinking of this, Polygonum cuspidatum couldn't help but feel excited.
It is really my luck to be able to sign a contract with such a lord, and it is also the most correct choice I have made in my life!
