Chapter 488 The Deployment Completed and an Interlude

"The fourth step in the plan is the opponent's camp."

Holding the baton, Lei Xiao's eyes were as sharp as a blade, and he said loudly: "And this point is the most critical step to completely destroy the morale of the Holy Night Army."

"oh?"

Ariel blinked her starry eyes puzzledly, and asked doubtfully, "How do you say that?"

"According to Aogu's information, it can be known that this time the holy night army is almost out."

I saw the baton in Lei Xiao's hand move, circled the enemy's camp on the sand table, raised his eyebrows and said: "This means that the enemy's base camp must be very empty."

"Understood, what do you mean you just copied the other party's hometown?"

On Ariel's fair face, a look of enlightenment suddenly appeared, and she suddenly realized: "It can indeed greatly damage the morale of the other party by preventing the head and tail of the Holy Night Army from looking at each other!"

"It's not just that."

While stroking his gray beard lightly, Bai Lao said, "Your Excellency's real purpose is to completely destroy the food and supplies of the Holy Night Army, right?"

"Old General Bai is right. Only by setting fire to the food and supplies of the Holy Night Army can the opponent be completely terrified."

Lei Xiao nodded to the old general, smiled lightly and said: "In this way, even if the remaining Holy Night Army retreats smoothly, it will probably collapse soon, so let's just withdraw."

"Your Excellency is right. The food and grass consumed by 80,000 soldiers every day is undoubtedly an extremely huge number. As long as all the opponent's granary can be burned down, the opponent will be powerless to fight again!"

A middle-aged commander at the side suddenly felt excited and said: "If everything goes well, at least in a short period of time, the opponent will not have the strength to make a comeback!"

"Indeed, this is undoubtedly completely cutting off the opponent's retreat."

There was also a look of excitement on the old white face, and he said to Lei Xiao: "According to the cautious temperament of the old monster Red Devil, even if they come out in full force, there will still be a considerable number of elite guards left in the granary. An existence that cannot be easily breached."

"According to the previous strength comparison, we are naturally powerless to attack the large number of enemy troops approaching the city, but with the help of Your Excellency Ke Qing, all this will no longer be a problem!"

Speaking of this point, Bai Lao stroked his beard again and smiled: "I expected that old monster, the Red Devil, he would never have imagined that the strength of our Lengyan Army is no longer what it used to be!"

"When the opponent's camp and granary are burned down, and the front attack is blocked, under the double blow, the opponent's fighting spirit and morale will soon be exhausted."

Lei Xiao played with the baton in his hand, still maintaining a slight smile: "As long as the enemy starts to retreat in a hurry, and the soldiers of our three fortresses come out together, I think we will surely win the battle."

"At that time, the opponent will naturally be defeated and will never be able to recover."

Lei Xiao's eyes fell on the burly old general who was facing him again, and he said with a smile: "Old general Bai, I don't know what do you think of this humble opinion?"

I saw Mr. Bai first glanced at the two commanders of the Lengyan Army, and after seeing the approval from each other's eyes, he said sincerely: "Your Excellency Keqing's plan is impeccable, and we have no objection. It is indeed the safest and most effective tactic at present!"

"Great, it seems that our victory is already in sight!"

On Ariel's exquisite face, a look of joy suddenly appeared, and she couldn't help jumping up a little.

"Your Highness, please be calm and don't be impatient. All this is just our preliminary plan. The battlefield is full of wind and clouds, and the opportunity is fleeting, and the variables are countless."

Bai Lao bowed slightly to Ariel, and said solemnly: "Coupled with Red Devil's cautious temperament, if we want to implement the plan thoroughly, we still need to carefully consider every link."

"That's right, especially with regard to the possible reaction of the other party and our corresponding countermeasures and inducing measures. If one step is wrong, it is very likely that we will fall from the initiative to the passive."

Lei Xiao curled his lips, nodded in approval and said, "It is conceivable that since our side has hidden power, it cannot be ruled out that the other party also has some kind of hole card hidden."

"So, everything before dawn tomorrow morning is still unknown?"

The excited expression on Ariel's cheeks disappeared immediately, and Dai Mei frowned slightly.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, just do your job well, and leave the rest to us."

Lei Xiao nodded to Ariel, then pointed his baton at the opponent's frontier barracks next to the mountain range, and continued to discuss with Bai Lao: "As for this place, we have to destroy it in one fell swoop, and we can't leave any retreat for the opponent... ..."

After repeated deduction by Lei Xiao, Bai Lao and other commanders, they finally finalized how to use the two fifth-tier aces including the knotweed and red night, as well as many other possible accidents and countermeasures, it was already evening.

Lei Xiao, who walked out of the conference hall and strolled to the balcony of the castle, noticed it.

In the distant sky, the big sun has completely set, only the little sun is still exuding the last orange-red afterglow of the setting sun.

Lei Xiao looked down at the lush castle courtyard in front of him, everything that was dyed red by the setting sun, while stretching, he took a deep breath.

Everything is ready on our side, just waiting for the Holy Night Army to come to our door.

"... from another world, I have a question to ask you."

Ariel walked up to Lei Xiao alone, hesitated for a moment, then whispered to Lei Xiao.

"But it doesn't matter."

Lei Xiao turned around and responded to Ariel.

Under the last rays of the setting sun, Ariel's fair and delicate face, as well as her slender and slender body, had a layer of pale golden halo.

It makes people look, can't help but give birth to a sense of holiness.

"that……"

Ariel hesitated for a moment, and saw that she first took a deep breath while blinking her slender eyelashes, and then said seriously, "Why do you help me like this?"

Having said this, Ariel's expression became a little more anxious, and she continued: "After all, there is no need for you to get involved in the war between my cold flame and Holy Night."

"Princess's words are wrong."

Lei Xiao smiled lightly, and said bluntly: "Helping you is actually helping myself, so you don't have to have any psychological burden."

"What do you mean?"

Ariel blinked and tilted her head in confusion, and hurriedly asked.

"What the world is about to face is far beyond your imagination."

Lei Xiao didn't answer Ariel's question directly, but looked far away, and said to himself: "Everything I have done is to lay the foundation for the upcoming changes, and the only way I can do it is to Only then can we continue to survive here and explore the truth of everything.”

Lei Xiao's expression became a little more serious: "This may be the real reason why us otherworldly lords came here."

What Lei Xiao is referring to is naturally the unknown catastrophe that may come at any time.

At the same time, Lei Xiao clearly understood that according to Wang Xi, the catastrophe was just the prelude to everything.

As for what incredible things will happen later, it is impossible to know at this stage.

"Having said that, I don't even know the content of the catastrophe itself."

"Therefore, there is only one thing left for me to do, and that is to develop desperately and continuously accumulate strength, so as to deal with the terrible catastrophe that will sweep the entire world mentioned many times in the prophecy. "

Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao's gaze was as firm as iron, exuding a shining light.

"What exactly do you want to say? What is the world about to face?"

The doubt and bewilderment on Ariel's face became more and more obvious, while clutching her skirt tightly, she asked two questions one after another.

"When the time is right, I will naturally tell you everything I know."

Lei Xiao withdrew his gaze from a distance, and still maintained a smile and said, "By the way, don't you still want to know what your hero king ancestors said to me at the place where your ancestors slept in Luolong City? "

Raising his eyebrows at Ariel, Lei Xiao continued to say leisurely: "At that time, maybe I will also describe it to you."

"Are you serious?"

After Lei Xiao changed the subject, Ariel's starry eyes lit up, and she asked again.

"Of course you can't go wrong."

Lei Xiao nodded undeniably, looked straight into Ariel's starry eyes and said, "So, at this stage, let's focus all our attention on the current fortress offensive and defensive battle."

"Then I will listen to you once!"

Ariel nodded her head heavily, and then said: "When the time comes, you are not allowed to go back on your word!"

"Then it depends on the performance of my dear fifth princess."

Seeing that the sky had completely darkened, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and left the castle balcony on his own.

Afterwards, since Bai Lao had brought Burt and Ju Bai non-stop, he was familiarizing himself with the situation in the fortress so that he could take over the next command work.

So Lei Xiao, Ariel, Hu Zhang and Hong Ye, who had nothing to do for the time being, came to a luxurious reception room to rest.

Originally, Mr. Bai was going to order the servants in the castle to cook a big meal for the group.

After all, neither Lei Xiao, who is powerful, nor Ariel, who is a royal family, are not objects that can be neglected at will.

But the battle was imminent, and everyone in the fortress was very important, so Lei Xiao and Ariel both rejected him.

However, every morning, Rudy would prepare special meals for Lei Xiao and all the main powerhouses, and put them in their respective storage spaces for later use.

Therefore, regarding the meal issue, the other main subordinates who are monitoring outside naturally don't have to worry about it.

As for Bai Lao, Bert, Ju Bai and others, they ate with other soldiers directly in the barracks below.

In the reception room, the three of Lei Xiao took out exquisitely presented and still very fresh star-quality lunch boxes from their respective storage spaces, and opened them.

Immediately attracted the eyes of Ariel who was taking out a large piece of cream cake.

At the same time, a dreamy sauce smell that made people's index fingers move, permeated the room.

In the exquisite lunch box, there are not only fresh vegetable salads, sandwiches and egg rolls, but also a variety of exquisite pastries, which look like works of art.

In comparison, the cream cake in Ariel's hand immediately became much duller.

Just as he was about to start, Lei Xiao looked at Ellie's veiled look of desire but pretended not to see it, curled his lips slightly, took out another spare meal from the space bracelet, and casually put it aside.

Grasping the stomach of this proud Princess Lengyan is also an indispensable part of the process of subduing her.

"You... what do you mean by this?"

Ariel finally couldn't bear it any longer, and tentatively opened the mouth to speak.

"It's nothing, I just took an extra copy."

Lei Xiao shrugged his shoulders, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, does my dear Fifth Princess want to eat?"

"I don't want to eat it."

Ariel elegantly cut a piece of cake with a knife and fork, her face full of obvious duplicity.

"Then I'll keep it for myself for supper."

Lei Xiao didn't say anything else, and made a gesture to put this extra box of meals back into the space bracelet.

"Wait a moment!"

Ariel quickly waved her hand, then raised her neck, pretending to be reserved: "Since you sincerely want to dedicate it to this princess..."

"Dear Your Highness the Fifth Princess, you think too much, but I don't think so."

Lei Xiao speeded up the movements of his hands without looking up.

"Wait a little longer! Can't I exchange the cake with you?"

The eagerness on Ariel's face obviously increased a bit, and she said eagerly: "Is it okay?"

The dishes prepared by Lei Xiao undoubtedly made her feel the taste of a long-lost royal chef, and it was even better.

"Isn't it over already?"

Lei Xiao looked at the longing Princess Tsundere in his starry eyes, and finally withdrew his hands, raised his chin and said, "Come here and get it yourself, as for the cake, you should keep it for yourself, I'm afraid of growing fat." .”

"You nasty bastard..."

Ariel, who had itchy teeth, wanted to refute, but after all, she was a cannibal with a short mouth, so she didn't say anything else, but started to feast on herself.

It didn't take long until the few people had enough to eat and drink, and Bai Lao and the other three generals of the kingdom reappeared in front of Lei Xiao and the others.

"His Royal Highness Princess Qi, the setting up of the commanding platform has been completed, and all the soldiers in the fortress have also assembled."

There was a crisp sound of armor colliding, Bai Lao took a step forward, stroked Ariel's chest and saluted, "It's time for Her Royal Highness to come out and encourage the soldiers."

"No problem, I'm already ready."

Ariel nodded heavily, and said firmly, "Let's go now."

Under Bai Lao's guidance, following Ariel's footsteps, Lei Xiao, surrounded by knotweed sticks and red night, soon came to a large school yard in the center of the fortress.

Under the bright starry sky, facing the deep and bright moonlight, Lei Xiao noticed.

I saw that in the huge school grounds, pale golden magic light balls filled the air, and soldiers in red-patterned armor were already standing in neat rows.

Looking at it at a glance, it was so dense that it was almost impossible to see the end.

On the other side, Ariel, surrounded by the generals of the three kingdoms, walked straight up to the towering general's platform at the very front.
