Chapter 477 The Unyielding Princess

Hearing these stern words, everyone followed the reputation, and it was Lei Xiao who hadn't spoken before.

Lei Xiao, who was wearing an illusion cloak, was leaning against the cave wall, looking coldly at the short, middle-aged woman who spoke harshly.

At this moment, Lei Xiao understood clearly.

Outside the cave, there are still people such as Hu Zhang, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, etc. who are fighting with all their strength to kill the soldiers of the Holy Night Army around them.

Any more delay here, the danger of the subordinates will increase by one point.

This is undoubtedly something that the lord himself absolutely cannot tolerate.

"who are you?"

Feeling the bitter chill on Lei Xiao's body, the pride on the middle-aged short woman's face disappeared in an instant, and she blurted out a little nervously.

"This is... the helper I invited."

Seeing that Lei Xiao took the initiative to come out to rescue her, Ariel was grateful, and explained somewhat hesitatingly.

Because Lei Xiao had already reminded him when he set off that he must not reveal his identity as the lord of the other world and the city lord of Kongqing during this operation.

In addition, with the exception of Ariel and the two generals of the kingdom, everyone in the group is wearing illusion cloaks, which undoubtedly can maintain the mystery of Lei Xiao and the others' identities to the maximum extent and avoid complications.

"helper?"

The tense face of the short woman suddenly relaxed a little, she rolled her eyes and hummed softly, "So what?"

"This means that, as the fifth princess of Leng Yan, she is willing to argue with you here, but I will not spoil you at all."

I saw Lei Xiao approaching the middle-aged woman slowly, and said with piercing eyes, "If you continue to confuse people with your lies here, I don't mind making you shut up forever."

After all, Lei Xiao, who had already walked in front of the middle-aged short woman, first glanced at the corpse of the Holy Night soldier not far away, then looked directly into her eyes and said, "I hope you can understand this point."

Looking at Lei Xiao's expressionless face, the middle-aged short woman, like a deflated ball, immediately lowered her head and stopped talking.

Seeing this scene, Ariel breathed a sigh of relief, her starry eyes flickered, and she cast a grateful gaze on Lei Xiao again.

And Lei Xiao's dark eyes moved, swept across the other residents, and said loudly: "Everyone, my subordinates are fighting bloody battles for you outside the cave, and the reason why we are willing to do this is your princess." For the sake of unremitting efforts.”

"Big Brother is right. When we were on the cliff, it was Her Royal Highness and Big Brother's subordinates who saved the two of us!"

The sallow-faced young man nodded quickly, stood on tiptoe and said to the residents: "Please don't embarrass Your Highness, please think about it, even the royal family is a family. Among them, there will always be the head of the family who is an adult, as well as children like us who need to be obedient."

"That's right! Even if the adults in this family made mistakes, they can't attribute all the responsibility to the children, right? It's not fair and unreasonable!"

The girl with a dirty face also added: "What's more, this child is currently risking his life and wants to do something within his power!"

Looking at the clear eyes of the young girl, all the residents couldn't help but bow their heads to Ariel again after sighing. Even the short middle-aged woman showed a touch of emotion on her face, and didn't continue. speech.

"Get ready to go."

Seeing that the scene had completely stabilized, Lei Xiao nodded to Ariel.

Ariel responded, and smiled again: "Everyone, please follow me, and pay attention to the gravel under your feet."

At this point, under the leadership of Lei Xiao and Ai Lier, everyone began to walk out of the cave in an orderly manner.

Just when he was about to walk out of this hidden cave, Lei Xiao read a word to inform the subordinates of the main force, such as the knotweed scattered around, to start moving closer to the entrance of the cave.

"My lord, my subordinates have found a relatively flat road that leads to the area controlled by the Lengyan Army!"

Nan Xing's sassy and crisp voice was quickly transmitted through the words.

"Good job, let's go back to the team first and then lead the way."

Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction, and informed Ariel of the situation.

After a while, after all the slaves returned to their positions.

Under Lei Xiao's command and arrangement, the subordinates were scattered around, with the old and weak women and children in the center, and immediately began to move towards the area controlled by Leng Yan.

The best way to make these war-torn residents safe is to send them to the back of the mountain fortress.

However, because these old and weak women and children are in a state of starvation, coupled with their frail bodies.

Even though Lei Xiao had taken out a large amount of food reserves and distributed them, the speed of movement was still very slow.

Fortunately, the subordinates are nimble and agile. They sometimes appear around the team and sometimes disappear, confusing and ambushing the small group of Holy Night Army soldiers who are searching. In addition, Nan Yue, who is good at hiding his whereabouts, covers up his tracks behind. no danger.

"This scene seems a little familiar."

Lei Xiao, who was at the front of the line, looked back at the long line of residents behind him, and smiled helplessly.

"Come from another world, thanks to you, this time you really helped me a lot."

Ariel flickered her eyelashes and hesitated for a moment, then said to Lei Xiao in a low voice, "Thank you very much."

At this time, it can be clearly seen.

Ariel's delicate face was filled with gratitude from the bottom of her heart, and even her gaze was less arrogant, which was obviously much better than the previous state of being very resistant to Lei Xiao.

"It's nothing more than a little effort, you don't have to be polite."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "But I still need to remind you that even if you rescue all these residents, you still can't really change anything. This is an indisputable fact."

"You're right, but that's all I can do."

Ariel drooped her eyebrows, and sighed lightly: "It's still the same sentence, it's much better than doing nothing."

After speaking, the strong sense of powerlessness just now flooded into Ariel's heart again.

Ariel clearly understood that what she saw was just the tip of the iceberg of this sunken land.

If you can have more strength, maybe you can do more.

But this Princess Leng Yan already has nothing.

From the moment he was assassinated many times, and was forced to leave his father's side and the capital, the greenhouse that grew up with him was completely torn apart, and then endless nightmares ushered in.

This world of the weak and the strong is far more cruel than what I imagined.

Even so, I still have dreams.

I long for the power to turn things around, long for this country that I love so much that has begun to rot and decay, to return to the peace and tranquility of the past.

Longing for the windmill burned by the enemy to turn again, longing for the displaced children to smile again.

However, reality often runs counter to dreams.

"No matter what, I will never give up on my dream!"

Ariel clenched her fist again, with a firm expression on her face.

While Ariel's heart was stirring, Lei Xiao naturally noticed all of this.

The unyielding quality and perseverance displayed by this Leng Yan princess are obviously far beyond my imagination.

"Now I feel more and more that my choice is correct."

Lei Xiao murmured to this point in his heart, his eyes were piercing.

Judging from the current situation, I have taken another small step forward from successfully subduing the opponent.

"My lord, we are about to approach the control area of ​​the Lengyan Army."

Nan Xing, who was leading the way at the front, heard Lei Xiao's sassy voice again: "This subordinate has already found a few scout teams from the Lengyan Army in the dense forest ahead."

"Don't relax your vigilance and continue to pay attention to the investigation."

Lei Xiao nodded, and said to all the subordinates through reading: "After a while, I will completely get rid of the Holy Night Army, then follow the plan I made before."

Lei Xiao clearly understood that since his group was planning to go to the mountain fortress, they had to make relevant preparations, or defenses, before entering.

Although through the previous information, Lei Xiao has already known.

The commander sitting in the fortress of the mountain castle is one of the eight generals of the royal family. Bai Lao, the fortress general who is still loyal to the old king, is almost impossible to attack Ariel.

But in the end, I have never had any contact with the other party, and I don't know the specific situation in the fortress, so I should be more cautious.

First of all, apart from the three of Ariel, Lei Xiaoming only showed Ye Cang and Chao Yan on his face.

Knotweed, Hongye, Nanxing, and Nanyue are wearing invisibility cloaks and lurking in the dark to prevent accidents from happening.

It's worth mentioning that, because Lei Xiao had always ordered Hong Ye to keep a low profile, even Ariel herself didn't know that there was another fifth-rank powerhouse hidden in the team.

This point can undoubtedly be used as Wang Zha's trump card.

As for Lin, Bai Wei, A Ling and A Bing, they were on standby around the fortress in case of emergency.

"Having said that, there are two main reasons why I chose to directly enter the mountain fortress."

Lei Xiao, who was walking in the forest, used his sword to push away the half-height weeds in front of him, while muttering, "First, I need to meet the fortress commander, Bai Lao. Prepare for the next thing.”

"According to intelligence, the 30,000 Lengyan Army here is divided into two parts."

"Among them, 20,000 are composed of garrison troops recruited from various places, while the other 10,000 are troops directly under Bai Lao, which is the fortress army, one of the eight royal armies."

Lei Xiao looked at the slender and slender figure of Ariel, and continued to think secretly in his heart.

"Since Mrs. Bai belongs to the old king, and Ariel is the youngest daughter whom the old king loves the most, it means that after subduing Ariel, if I can take advantage of this power, or transform it Being a friendly army will undoubtedly greatly increase my strength."

"Of course, the premise is that this mountain fortress has not been captured by the Holy Night Army."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath.

Before that, I had asked Burt and Orange White.

At that time, why did they go directly to the frontier battlefield to seek Bailao's shelter, but why did they come to the uncertain corner of Kongqing Town?

The answer is that there are three considerations.

One is Bai Lao in the border area, who is already at a stage where he can't take care of himself, and he may be attacked by both the open and the dark sides of his opponent at any time.

Secondly, if the Kingdom of Holy Night learns that Ariel, the fifth princess of Leng Yan, is in the mountain fortress, they will probably be coveted by the other party immediately.

After all, Ariel represents the Lengyan royal family. If she can be captured alive, it will undoubtedly greatly damage the morale of the Lengyan army.

Thirdly, Ariel took the opportunity to leave the royal capital in the name of being an envoy to Kongqing Town after all. If she went straight to the border area, once those princes gave her the title of collaborator again, she would be forever There is no turning back.

"And the second reason why I chose to enter the mountain fortress is to be able to take a closer look at this large military fortress of the Cold Flame Army."

Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, his face calm.

"In the near future, with the expansion of my power, I will definitely face a fortress of the same scale. If I can put myself in the situation and take a turn in it, this will undoubtedly play a very important role in my future siege. effect."

Just as Lei Xiao thought of this, Nan Xing's crisp voice came again: "My lord, a team of Leng Yan army scouts has noticed our existence and is quickly approaching here!"

"This is to welcome us."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, just let them come here."

After speaking, Lei Xiao informed Ariel of the situation, and the latter nodded to Burt again: "It's time to light that up."

"As you order, Your Royal Highness."

Burt stroked his chest and saluted, and then with a thought, a large triangular flag appeared in front of everyone.

I saw that the flag was brilliant gold, with a conspicuous red coat of arms on it, and in the middle of the coat of arms was a golden lion with its head held high.

This is the symbol of the Lengyan royal family, which represents royal power.

Not long after, with the sound of "rustling" in the surrounding grass, a group of rangers in red leather armor suddenly came into everyone's eyes.

"Who is in front, and why is it flying the banner of my Lengyan royal family?"

Looking at the king's flag fluttering in the wind, the leader of the scouts asked cautiously.

"I'm Bert, and the one next to me is Orange White."

Bert, who was holding the king's flag, took a step forward, and responded lightly: "Don't you understand? Naturally, the fifth princess, Ariel, is here!"

"It's actually two kingdom generals and Princess Ariel?!"

The scouts were so surprised that they quickly fell to their knees and lowered their heads.

And the leader of the scout captain said with even more trepidation: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, but it's a villain who has no eyes and sees nothing, yet he shoots an arrow at Her Highness!"

"You don't need to be too polite, you are just doing your duty."

Ariel's exquisite face reappeared the arrogance and grace that members of the royal family should have. She smiled and said, "Please guide me to the mountain fortress as soon as possible. I want to see Old General Bai."

"But……"

The leader of the scout captain showed a look of embarrassment, and began to falter.
