Chapter 481 Murderous Intent Emerges in the Conference Hall
"Then it's all up to you."
Ariel nodded thoughtfully, and then confirmed to Lei Xiao: "Do you really want to keep the fifth-level powerhouse by my side?"
"It's absolutely true."
Lei Xiao looked at Ariel's delicate face, showing a faintly moved expression that had never been seen before, raised his eyebrows and said, "What? Could it be that my dear Fifth Princess, are you worried about me?"
"No, you don't want to be sentimental."
Ariel waved her hands at a loss, and quickly denied: "I'm just afraid that I will lose a few powerful helpers!"
After finishing speaking, Ariel murmured in a low voice: "After all, I feel more at ease with you by my side."
"Okay, let's get down to business. Just like what I said just now, the other party will definitely use the name of reporting the battle situation to separate the six of us and defeat them one by one."
In Lei Xiao's dark eyes, there was a hint of sternness, and he said to Ariel seriously: "I am only a mercenary in name, the other party will not care too much, so the task of extracting useful information from the other party's mouth, I'll leave it to you."
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
Ariel nodded heavily, and said solemnly: "As the general of the Lengyan Kingdom, but colluding with the Holy Night Army in an attempt to overthrow this fortress, no matter who is behind the scenes, I will never let him go! "
Hearing what Ariel said, Bert and Jubai on the side also clenched their fists with serious faces.
It is conceivable that once the Holy Night Army cooperates with the inside and outside, it will break the mountain fortress at the lowest cost.
Then, the other cities and villages behind the fortress will definitely be devastated, and it will also seriously affect the layout of the Lord Lord's control of the entire eastern area of Lengyan.
Therefore, no matter what, we must completely erase this dangerous undercurrent hidden in the fortress!
"Very well, let's see how my dear Fifth Princess will perform."
Looking at the determined appearance of the three, Lei Xiao put the tea set on the table back into the space bracelet, and nodded to the knotweed.
Knotweed understood, first bowed to accept the order, and then disappeared in front of everyone as soon as the invisibility cloak was put on.
At the same time, the vast aura attached to the walls of the living room also quietly dissipated, as if nothing had happened.
It didn't take long, the door of the living room was pushed open again, and Aogu walked in with several commanders of the Lengyan Army.
"Meet Her Majesty the Princess."
Aogu still had that smiling expression on his face, and he stroked Ariel's chest and said, "The military report is ready, please move to the meeting hall of the castle with the princess and the two generals."
Having said that, Aogu glanced at the three Lei Xiao not far away, and added: "As for these three mercenary friends, please wait a while, after all, the next matter needs to involve me The core secret of the Cold Flame Kingdom."
"Understandable."
Seeing that everything was within his expectations, Lei Xiao shrugged indifferently, and sat back on the original seats with Ye Cang and Chao Yan.
"Just lead the way in front of you."
And Ariel nodded slightly, with the same calm expression.
With Lei Xiao's analysis and deduction and the tiger stick who is a powerhouse of the fifth rank, this Leng Yan's fifth princess is already full of confidence.
Of course, in the eyes of Aogu and others, this proud princess has always had the same condescending appearance, without any difference.
However, what Aogu and the others didn't know was that before, Ariel was because of ignorance, but now, it was because of fearlessness.
Before walking out of the gate, after looking back at Lei Xiao who was sitting calmly, Ariel followed Aogu and others to leave the living room surrounded by Bert and Jubai.
Accompanied by the sound of footsteps echoing in the spacious castle corridor, Ariel walked leisurely, while her expression became a little puzzled again.
It's hard for people to understand that that annoying guy from another world would deploy the strongest combat power enough to conquer the country by his side.
"However, since my father became seriously ill, this is the first time someone has cared so much about my safety..."
Thinking of this, Ariel quickly shook her head secretly, and murmured in her heart: "No, this guy must have other plans, otherwise, he would never have done such a thing!"
"But, if that guy has other plans, what can he plan for?"
Ariel sighed softly, and said lonely in her heart: "Although I don't want to admit it, I'm just a powerless and down-and-out princess. With that guy's impressive power, what can I do on my body?" Let him look at the object?"
Thinking of the Tier 5 Suppressing Weapons worn by the knotweed, Nanxing, Nanyue, Chaoyan, and Lei Xiao himself, Ariel swallowed involuntarily.
On this point alone, this incredible alien lord is simply unfathomable.
After all, even if you look at the entire Lengyan royal family, there are only the sword of the ancestor King Hero, and the lance of Perrin, the leader of the Earth Dragon Knights who lived in the same era as the ancestor, and two fifth-level magic weapons!
"Since the era of the ancestor King of Heroes came to an end, there has never been a fifth-level forging master born in the Cold Flame Kingdom and the adjacent Holy Night Kingdom."
"No one has the ability to forge at all. This is the main reason why the fifth-tier magic weapons are scarce, apart from the extremely rare raw materials and limited forging efficiency."
"Looking back at history, even though Leng Yan's ancestors spent huge sums of money to acquire fifth-tier magic weapons more than once, they found nothing in the end."
Thinking of this in her heart, Ariel shook her head helplessly.
It's no wonder, after all, the magic weapon of the fifth level will greatly enhance the user's strength, which can hardly be measured by money.
Including foreign races, no country is willing to sell this level of magic weapon to other potential opponents, because no one will know whether the opponent will swing the blade of the magic weapon at themselves one day.
"Even my Lengyan royal family has been unable to obtain the magic weapon for hundreds of years. How did that guy get so many? It's simply unimaginable."
Puzzled, Ariel, who was full of question marks, cheered up, and turned her attention back to Ao Gu who was leading the way ahead.
"Don't think about that guy from another world, the most urgent thing is to find out who is behind the scenes and keep this mountain fortress... But that guy sent a fifth-level powerhouse to me, once there is danger, how will that guy behave himself? Save?"
Just when Ariel was distracted, a group of people had already arrived in front of a spacious and bright meeting hall.
"Your Highness, please come inside."
Aogu bowed slightly to Ariel, and said with a smile.
Walking straight into the meeting hall, Ariel blinked her slender eyelashes and looked around.
The space here is extremely spacious, even divided into upper and lower floors, just like a small theater.
In the most conspicuous position in the center of the hall, there is a huge sand table.
I saw the three-dimensional terrain and landforms depicted in detail on it, and there were many pocket soldiers of two different colors, red and blue, just like a huge chessboard.
Seeing this scene, Ariel nodded slightly.
She has received a complete royal education since she was a child, and she is no stranger to this kind of military sand table. What is shown above is the current distribution of the enemy and the enemy in the border area.
Looking at Ariel's thoughtful expression, Aogu obviously didn't intend to report the battle situation immediately, but clapped his hands lightly.
Immediately afterwards, surrounded by two groups of soldiers, a group of servants walked in with steaming meals and dining tables and chairs.
"Her Royal Highness, the two generals of the Kingdom have worked hard all the way. It is past noon now, and the three haven't eaten yet, right?"
After the table and chairs were set up by the servants, Aogu stroked his chest and saluted, smiled slightly and said, "Why don't you fill your stomach first and then get down to business?"
"I didn't expect Vice General Ao Gu to be so thoughtful."
Ariel frowned, sat down at the dining table without hesitation, and also smiled at Ao Gu: "I wonder if Vice General Ao Gu has eaten?"
"His Royal Highness, before your arrival, the villain has been supervising the defense in the fortress, and did not take care of the meal."
On Aogu's face, still maintaining a tepid smile, he responded immediately.
"Vice-general Aogu manages a lot of things every day, it's really too hard."
I saw Ariel spread the white napkin in front of her, and said casually: "We are guests here, and you are the host. If that's the case, then please invite Vice General Aogu to dine with us."
Hearing Ariel's words, Aogu obviously didn't intend to join the table, but waved his hands and said: "The villain is just a warrior, how dare he sit with the princess?"
"There is such a thing in my Leng Yan's royal motto, that is, the warriors who loyally protect Leng Yan, regardless of title or origin, are qualified to sit with members of the royal family."
Ariel looked directly at Aogu's cloudy eyes, and said calmly: "This is true for ordinary soldiers, let alone you, Aogu's deputy general who is currently in charge of the three fortresses?"
Ariel's face was calm, and she added: "Therefore, there is no problem for Vice General Ao Gu to sit here."
"His Royal Highness is serious, the villain still doesn't dare to sit with Her Royal Highness."
Aogu didn't move his feet at all. Seeing his flattered appearance, he still waved his hand and refused: "These are what a villain should do, and it's nothing to worry about."
"Vice General Aogu, Her Royal Highness has repeatedly invited you, why do you keep declining?"
I saw Burt standing behind Ariel, and said in a deep voice: "Is it because you have a ghost in your heart that you can't bear the words "guarding the cold flame", or is the food on this table tricky? "
Having said this, Bert's old voice became a little lower, and he continued to ask: "Or is it both?"
"Master Giant Axe, what are you talking about... This kind of joke is not for fun."
Ao Gu smiled awkwardly, trying to confuse the public.
However, the laughter stopped abruptly when he noticed the sharp eyes cast by Ariel, Burt, and Jubai.
Seeing Aogu's smiling face instantly darkened, he said in a cold voice: "It seems that you have already noticed the clue, so there is no need for the general to play this smiling tiger scene again."
Speaking of this, Ao Gu, who had a stern face and a completely different expression from before, walked to the dining table calmly, and casually knocked over a plate of delicate pastries.
Accompanied by the crisp sound of the plate breaking, the fragments splashed, and the delicate pastries scattered on the ground, followed by a dense black mist.
"I originally planned to let you all be captured comfortably...Since you want to resist, then no wonder this general is so cruel!"
After finishing speaking, a two-handed sword flashing with cold light flashed out from Ao Gu's big hand.
Behind him, the three commanders of the Lengyan Army whose strength was at the peak level of Tier 3 also pulled out the long swords around their waists one after another, sneered and made ready-to-go attacks.
At the same time, with a "boom", the door of the conference hall was suddenly closed, and a large number of powerful auras that had previously been hidden in the hidden barrier began to be revealed without reservation.
In the blink of an eye, the second floor of the conference hall was full of black-clothed crossbowmen exuding an imposing manner. With sharp arrows flashing, they condescendingly aimed at the three of Ariel.
Judging from the aura, the strength of these men in black is obviously above the level of second-order senior powerhouses, and the number of them is as large as two squadrons.
The icy aura emanating from the arrows was particularly conspicuous under the illumination of the lights, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became extremely tense.
As a Tier 4 powerhouse, Aogu himself, three Tier 3 peak powerhouses, plus a Tier 2 elite squadron upstairs where each team is strong enough to compete against a Tier 4 senior powerhouse.
This kind of strength has far surpassed the three of Ariel on the bright side.
"Have you really given yourself away? Aogu, you are a liar!"
Ariel's expression froze, and while Burt and Jubai took out their weapons, they asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"These black-clothed soldiers are all elite spies from the Kingdom of the Holy Night. Each of them has mastered ruthless assassination skills, and this general is not completely lying."
Ogusensen, who was holding a huge sword, smiled and said leisurely: "As for what this general wants to do, the answer is very obvious."
After finishing speaking, Ao Gu swung the huge sword in his hand, and said solemnly: "Naturally, it is to capture you, Leng Yan's fifth princess, and hand it over to Sheng Ye."
"Of course, if you insist on rebelling desperately, sending your corpses there will be considered a great achievement."
Ao Gu smiled coldly at Ariel, and continued to speak leisurely: "Originally, the general's purpose was to assist the Holy Night Army in capturing these three fortresses. I didn't expect you to come here yourself!"
"Although I don't want to admit it, it's really exactly what that guy deduced."
Thinking of this in her heart, Ariel clenched the staff in her hand, and said solemnly: "So, you are the mastermind behind the Holy Night?"
"I didn't expect that the savage and willful Fifth Princess is smarter than the most beautiful vase in the Lengyan Kingdom compared to the rumors."
Aogu didn't hide his determined look, and admitted cleanly: "That's right, that's exactly it!"
"How is old general Bai doing now?"
Without any hesitation, Ariel fixed Liu Mei and asked again.
