Chapter 472

Accompanied by the fast speed along the way, Lei Xiao, surrounded by his subordinates, quickly passed through the forest and the blocked river, and came to the vast plain on the other side.

Facing the bright sunshine, Lei Xiao, who was riding on the giant wolf, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked towards Kongqing Town not far away.

After working day and night, compared with the initial city wall which was only about three meters long, the defense of the entire Kongqing Town has obviously been greatly improved.

Not only are a large number of archery towers and fortresses under construction, but even the lowest part of the city wall has been increased to a height of five meters.

The most striking thing is that the original wooden city gate has been replaced with a thick and solid metal city gate, and the trench under the city wall is also being excavated in an orderly manner.

"Not bad, not bad, it's really getting more and more decent."

Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the busy construction crowd ahead.

"It seems that it won't be long before Kongqing Town will become a safer and stronger city."

Slowly withdrawing his gaze, Lei Xiao made a "move on" gesture to the subordinates around him.

Accompanied by the sound of "whoosh whoosh" breaking through the air, a group of people galloped straight to the City Lord's Mansion in the center of the city under the state of the invisibility cloak of all members.

At the same time, the hall of the City Lord's Mansion in Kongqing Town.

In the spacious and bright hall, Ariel, who was dressed in a red and gold outfit, was pacing back and forth anxiously with anger on her fair and delicate face.

Not far from her stood Lin in blue knight casual attire, Huge Axe General Burt in gray brocade robe, and Holy Light General Orange White in a specially made white slim priest robe.

"This abominable guy from another world actually made the dignified princess wait here for such a long time!"

Ariel, who folded her arms around her chest, snorted heavily, her pair of black eyebrows were twisted into twists, and said angrily.

On her slender and slender body, in addition to a strong outfit, her signature thick curly hair has also been tied into a high ponytail.

Even though this neat attire made her look a bit more sassy, ​​the savageness on her face did not diminish in the slightest.

"No, when that nasty guy comes, this princess will definitely give him a good reprimand."

Ariel's fair cheeks had already turned into buns, and she snorted angrily, "It's really unreasonable to keep this princess waiting for so long!"

Hearing Ariel's anger, the expressions of Lin, Burt, and Jubai seemed normal.

However, the whole row of maids of the City Lord's Mansion standing beside her were a little pale in shock from Ariel's attacking formation.

"Dear Fifth Princess, I heard that you are looking for me?"

Accompanied by a faint voice, Lei Xiao's tall and straight figure appeared outside the hall door.

"You are finally here!"

Ariel frowned, and greeted her angrily.

However, before she had time to speak, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and raised his eyebrows, "How's the sweater going?"

Hearing Lei Xiao's teasing tone, Ariel couldn't help being taken aback, the anger on her face turned into puzzlement, and she said in a bewildered manner, "You...how did you know that I like knitting sweaters?"

"Don't forget, this is my territory, nothing can be hidden from me, and no one can defy me."

Lei Xiao glanced at Ariel, who still had a trace of indignation on her face, continued to maintain a faint smile, and walked towards the throne at the top seat.

"You, you hateful fellow!"

Seeing Lei Xiao's condescending behavior, Ariel wanted to retort a few times indignantly, but she still didn't say anything, just like a deflated balloon, she could only follow behind feebly.

Seeing this rather exciting scene, whether it was Lin at the side, or Bert and Jubai who had already been secretly subdued by Lei Xiao.

They all couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled, and cast admiring glances at Lei Xiao secretly.

To be able to hold down the proud and domineering Princess Lengyan so easily, and let her lose her temper, apart from the lord, it is probably difficult for anyone else to be able to do it.

After all, the youngest princess of Leng Yan, who is loved by thousands of people, has always been the jewel in the palm of the old king.

From childhood to adulthood, the people around her didn't even have time to flatter her, so how could she treat them so coldly?

And all the maids of the City Lord's Mansion looked at Lei Xiao with expressions of admiration, their delicately made-up faces were full of uncontrollable admiration.

Lei Xiao sat down on the throne, still with a tepid expression, smiling and looking at Ariel, who was sitting next to him.

Lei Xiao clearly understood that defeating the spirit of the Leng Yan princess to the greatest extent would undoubtedly play a decisive role in the final conquest.

"Dear Your Highness the Fifth Princess, tell me, what do you want from me?"

Lei Xiao raised his hand and motioned to the maid of the city lord's mansion to move up the low stool specially designed for Ariel, and said with raised eyebrows.

"It's not really an important thing..."

Ariel's starry eyes turned, and she wanted to reply in a way of avoiding the important ones and induce Lei Xiao to go to the border battlefield with her, but she didn't finish her sentence.

Lei Xiao stood up directly from his seat, and then said calmly, "Since you don't have any important matters, then I have other important matters, see you later."

After all, Lei Xiao walked towards the bottom of the high platform where the throne was located without hesitation.

Since the other party wants to avoid the seriousness and ignore the seriousness, then I naturally have to pay back a play hard to get.

"You wait for me!"

Ariel, who was in the lower position, became a little flustered again, and hurriedly said: "Didn't you see my clothes? Of course I have to go out and take a look!"

"No wonder my dear Fifth Princess, she looks a little different. It turns out that she has changed her attire."

Lei Xiao sat down on the throne again, knowingly asked: "I don't know, my dear Fifth Princess, where do you want to go?"

"You must have heard of it, right? Recently, Shengye has been increasing troops to the border battlefield that is in contact with Wu Lengyan, making Wu Lengyan in an extremely passive position."

Ariel's arrogant fair face became a little dimmed, and she responded: "I'm planning to go to the border area to check the situation, and that's why I asked you to come here."

"Then, my dear Fifth Princess, what do you plan to do after you go? Or, what can you do?"

Lei Xiao leaned on his chin with one hand, with a look of interest on his face, he asked again.

"With my strength, naturally I can't change anything."

Ariel first involuntarily glanced at Bert and Jubai who were not far away, then shook her head helplessly and said, "Even so, I still can't just sit idly by."

Speaking of this, Ariel's expression suddenly became firm: "After all, I am Leng Yan's fifth princess, and I have the responsibility to guard this place!"

"The momentum is pretty good."

Lei Xiao shrugged, and continued to ask: "It's still the same question, what are you going to do?"

"I heard that our Lengyan army has been forced to give up a lot of land under the situation of absolute disadvantage, and it was too late for the local Lengyan residents to evacuate..."

Ariel shook her head helplessly at first, and then bit her red lips and said decisively: "Under this situation, no matter what happens, I also want to go to the border battlefield to do something within my ability, even if I can only help one person, as much as possible. A meager effort is better than staying here and doing nothing!"

Looking at the firm and fair face of Princess Lengyan, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a slightly surprised expression.

From the opponent's thin body, Lei Xiao clearly felt a bit of stubbornness and determination.

You must know that the current border battlefield is tense, and not only a large-scale bloody battle may break out at any time, but also murderous opportunities are everywhere, and the waves are dark.

And this guy actually took the initiative to go there to help the locals, which was indeed beyond his expectations.

"At first, I thought that the main worry of this delicate and self-willed fifth princess of Lengyan should be whether the Lengyan army will be defeated so badly that the enemy will drive straight in and threaten her own safety."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and said with emotion in his heart: "I didn't expect that her focus was not on herself, but on the local residents."

"This is rare in this different world where swords, magic, and nobles are rampant. What's more, this guy is the most noble member of the royal family."

Lei Xiao looked at Ariel with admiration, and nodded thoughtfully.

"It seems that my consideration of supporting her to become the queen of cold flames is indeed a correct choice, and the breakthrough point to subdue Ariel may be here."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "Well, since Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess is so enlightened, then I naturally have no reason to refuse."

"You mean you agree with me going?"

On Ariel's fair and bright cheeks, a look of joy suddenly appeared, and her eyes fluttered, and she hurriedly asked: "Then you will follow me?"

At this moment, Ariel's heart can be said to be quite contradictory.

Although I am still quite resistant to this annoying young man from another world in front of me, but the hard power of the other party is there after all, with a fifth-tier powerhouse and many fourth-tier powerhouses loyal to him.

If you can be your helper, that would be great.

Not far away, Lei Xiao naturally saw Ariel's careful thoughts at a glance, and he still kept smiling and said, "What? Don't tell me, my dear Fifth Princess, you don't want me to go?"

"That's not true. Since you insist on following, then I have no objection."

Ariel flicked her neatly tied ponytail, and responded selfishly.

Lei Xiao looked at the arrogant Princess Leng Yan in front of him, and he didn't continue to argue with her. Instead, he stood up from his seat and said leisurely, "Do you still remember the three chapters of the agreement between you and me?"

"of course I remember."

Ariel wrinkled her pretty nose, and whispered: "Isn't it that I can only take Sir Bert and Qing Jubai with me? Besides, I must obey your arrangement outside, and I must not act without authorization."

"Yes, if you violate it, you will bear the consequences."

Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and then said to the female knight beside him: "Lin, you know the situation on the frontier battlefield best, so you will lead the way and guide me and Ariel to go together."

After speaking, Lei Xiao stood up from the throne, and at the same time said to the other main force subordinates: "Get ready to go!"

"Obey! Your lord!"

All the subordinates, who were already ready to go, bowed together and said in unison.

As for Lin, Burt, and Jubai, they naturally couldn't reveal their subordinate identities for the time being, so they could only secretly nod to Lei Xiao from the side.

"The last time I went to Luolong City, Bert and Jubai were still serving Ariel, but now, these two corners have been poached by me for a long time."

While preparing to leave, Lei Xiao couldn't help curling his lips when he saw that Ariel was talking with the two kingdom generals in a low voice.

"I'm afraid Ariel would never have thought that in the entire team, except for herself, everyone else is my subordinate."

In a short while, Lei Xiao's thirteen people and Ariel arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, ready to set off towards the border battlefield.

Under the bright sunlight, Lei Xiao noticed.

The subordinates around him have already started to put on their invisibility cloaks.

And Ariel and the two kingdom generals each took out the same cloak from the storage ring.

"Wait a moment."

Seeing that the three of them were about to put on the invisibility cloak, Lei Xiao stretched out his hand and made a gesture of taking it.

Seeing this, Bert and Ju Bai naturally handed over the cloak in their hands without hesitation, and Ariel did the same after hesitating for a moment.

After receiving the items from the three of them, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

Then, three invisibility cloaks from the same batch as those equipped on the subordinates were handed over.

Only the same batch of this kind of illusion items have the effect of immunity to each other, and can see the existence of the other party, otherwise, only the fifth-order powerhouses, the knotweed and the red night, can see the clue.

"These are from the same batch as the ones on us."

Lei Xiao pondered for a while, and again handed three illusion cloaks from the same batch as his subordinates to the three of them, just in case they needed them.

"I didn't expect you to have quite a lot of cloaks. Are you a cloak seller?"

After receiving the cloak handed over by Lei Xiao, Ariel raised her brows and couldn't help but tease her.

In this way, it is indeed much more convenient.

"I don't know if it's a cloak seller, but there may be many things that you didn't expect."

When Lei Xiao said this with a half-smile, he turned over and stepped onto the giant white wolf, looking ready to go.

While preparing to set off, a look of joy suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face.

You know, these are three brand new and unupgraded invisibility cloaks!

"As for the invisibility cloak, I have already investigated it in detail. This thing is extremely rare."

"If I hadn't obtained two pieces from Wang Xi in the place where the ancestors slept, and both of them had undergone quantitative changes, I still can't equip them in large quantities."

Lei Xiao put the cold-touch cloak into the space bracelet, and continued to think happily.

"And now I can upgrade three more pieces. I wonder if there will be a qualitative change this time? What effect will the invisibility cloak after the qualitative change have?"

Lei Xiao didn't hesitate and started to upgrade directly.
