Chapter 491 Prelude to the Battle of the Fortress

After a while, when the ground rose again, a large number of neatly arranged magic fortresses appeared in front of Lei Xiao.

I saw that these magical forts, mainly made of white spar, were arranged in a patchwork manner, and they were divided into several rows, extending from one end of the city wall to the other end of the city wall, which looked extremely spectacular.

"Is it the magic running platform hidden in the fortress? It's quite an interesting mechanism."

Lei Xiao looked at the rare scene in front of him, and nodded thoughtfully.

Lei Xiao has also learned a lot about the special facilities like the Magic Fortress during this time.

For the magic cannon with its own perfect erection function.

Although the turret is not a necessary accessory, the main component of the turret, the special magic mineral called memory crystal, can protect the magic cannon body and slightly increase the power of the magic cannon.

As long as the magic cannon is mounted on it, this kind of memory crystal that can change its shape will fit perfectly with the magic cannon, and if it is not a magic cannon, this reaction will not occur.

"According to Lin, the reason for this miraculous reaction is that the memory spar happens to be able to resonate with the power-enhancing magic circle enchanted on the magic guide cannon, and then combine the two together, and can also Split anytime."

While thinking about it, Lei Xiao, accompanied by Bai Lao, began to deploy the fire magic cannon he was carrying.

"The magic fortress on the wall of the fortress looks almost the same as the one in the territory. As for the memory spar needed to build the magic fortress in the territory, I ordered Lin to get it from the Shanglu Fair."

"Although the memory spar is very expensive, it is still not worth mentioning compared to the sky-high price of the magic cannon. Therefore, using it to protect the magic cannon is undoubtedly the best choice."

Under Lei Xiao's control, a series of brand-new fire-type magic cannons were set up on the fort one by one, which looked quite shocking.

Not long after, a total of 300 second-tier fire-type magic cannons appeared in front of everyone present.

Under the bright moonlight, there was only a dark cannon body perfectly fitted by white crystals, reflecting a cold frosted light, which attracted the surrounding Lengyan soldiers to let out a burst of exclamation.

"How much unknown energy does this guy hide?"

Even Ariel, who had been following Lei Xiao all this time, couldn't help reacting in the same way as her slender eyelashes flickered.

You know, the cost of a second-tier magic cannon is at least 1 million golden dragons.

From this, one can imagine what a huge number the value of 300 doors will be.

In addition to being amazed, everyone present clearly understood.

With the blessing of these magic cannons, the output capability of the entire fortress will undoubtedly get a leap forward!

All of a sudden, pairs of excited and awe-inspiring eyes cast their gazes on Lei Xiao one after another.

And the three magician squadrons serving as gunners have also begun to familiarize themselves with their respective gun positions and adjust their angles under the orders of the commanders.

From the familiar movements of these magicians, it can be clearly seen that they all have rich combat experience.

"Your Excellency has worked hard!"

When the angles of all the magic cannons were adjusted and they were hidden again, the white and old face was full of excitement, and he couldn't help saying: "I have never thought about the many magic cannons in the mountain fortress before." , will be full of magic cannons again!"

"It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

Lei Xiao smiled lightly and waved his hands casually.

While being excited, Bai Lao shook his head helplessly, and said: "To tell you the truth, due to the unstoppable fortress in the extreme north of the Kingdom a few years ago, the flames of war continued, which made most of the magic cannons here , all transferred there."

"Is it the unfallen fortress in the extreme north?"

After listening to Bai Lao's words, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

Before this, Lei Xiao had heard this place name many times.

According to the current information, the coach there is Leng Yan's third princess, that is, Ariel's sister.

"Information shows that apart from fighting, the third princess is not interested in anything other than the throne."

"When Ariel was still young, the third princess took the initiative to go to the battlefield to practice. It is said that her strength is even higher than most of the kingdom's generals. She is an absolute wolf-killing figure."

Thinking of this, a burly image of King Kong Barbie suddenly appeared in Lei Xiao's mind, and he curled his lips and said, "Forget it, even though I am a little curious about the third princess, let's focus on the battle in front of me now." .”

After that, through talking with Bai Lao, Lei Xiao learned about it.

Bert and Jubai, the two generals of the kingdom, one is in charge of the security inside the fortress, and the other is in charge of logistics support, and they are already in their positions.

As for Ariel, together with Bai Lao, they stayed at the forefront of the city wall, boosting the morale of the soldiers.

Of course, Lei Xiao, who has made full preparations, will also stay in this position to take care of the overall situation.

Lei Xiao had just finished discussing some last small details with Bai Lao, when the prompt to read the words suddenly sounded.

After connecting, it was Nanyue's shy voice that rang in Lei Xiao's ears this time.

"My lord, the enemy has joined forces in the front camp and is marching towards the fortress!"

"finally coming?"

After instructing Nanyue to monitor carefully, Lei Xiao, who was standing on the towering city wall, moved his gaze, and finally landed on the distant mountains and forests.

In that direction, there is a relatively flat and wide road, which is the only way for the Holy Night Army to come here.

"Your Excellency, since the other party has completed the assembly, it's time for us to take our places."

Bai Lao, who also got the news through the secret method, nodded to Lei Xiao.

Then, under Bai Lao's clean command.

Except for the soldiers wearing the blue armbands, the other soldiers began to evacuate quickly, heading towards hidden positions around the city wall.

All of a sudden, a lot of footsteps and the sound of armor colliding sounded one after another, making the whole scene suddenly tense.

A great battle is about to begin.

"Then let us wait for the other party's visit."

Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and then, surrounded by his subordinates, he walked towards a large archery tower that could directly lead to the inside of the fortress.

...

Under the double moon, the night wind is bleak, and insects are singing and katydids are jumping.

On a passage down the mountain covered with a large number of bushes, the low green leaves that had been standing still suddenly began to tremble slightly.

Not long after, accompanied by the dull sound of "Boom, Boom, Boom", even the fine sand and gravel on the ground began to vibrate without wind, as if dancing on a drum.

In this environment, it was the uniform footsteps of the Holy Night Army that could strike the earth with this frequency.

As the earth trembled, a large number of densely packed figures of soldiers began to appear at the end of the road.

As the figures of the soldiers became clearer, the sound of heavy and orderly footsteps, mixed with the crisp sound of armor colliding, also intensified, just like the ultimate subwoofer, which shocked people's minds.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the road was covered with neat lines of blue-striped armored soldiers, endless, with no end in sight.

The rows of shiny armor and sharp spear points reflected the cold light under the silvery white moonlight.

One after another, the icy and biting breath continuously emanated from each soldier, and then gathered together, forming a majestic and vast momentum, like a pair of big hands strangling the throat, almost Suffocating.

Even though the entire team did not have any lighting measures, the soldiers still walked like flying. In each pair of murderous eyes, there was a gleam of light from time to time. It was obvious that some kind of group magic that enhanced night vision had been cast.

In the state of silence of all the staff, this continuous torrent of steel, like a giant beast crawling on the ground, kept rapidly approaching the mountain fortress, which also kept quiet.

...

An hour before dawn, the huge Holy Night Army had arrived at the fort on time.

On the vast land directly in front of the fortress, there are seven extremely huge giant phalanxes neatly distributed.

The three giant phalanxes at the front near the city gate are in the shape of a cone with one front and two back.

Further back, there is a large depression in front of the fortress. Due to the unfavorable terrain, the Holy Night Army did not deploy soldiers.

On the left and right sides of the depression, there is a giant square formation, facing the two small fortresses on the mountainsides on both sides of the fortress.

And behind the depression, there are two giant phalanxes, one in front and one in back.

"Is a phalanx the size of an army of ten thousand people? But why are there only seven phalanxes?"

Wearing a blessed invisibility cloak, Lei Xiao, who was located in the watchtower at the corner of the fortress, looked out through the shooting port with a puzzled look on his face.

According to the information obtained from Aogu and Nanxing Nanyue's report, the Holy Night Army with a scale of eight legions did come out in full force, leaving only a small number of elite troops to guard the camp and the granary.

"Above the station, there will indeed be some unexpected things."

Lei Xiao curled his lips helplessly, his complexion soon regained his seriousness.

"We must find out the whereabouts of the disappeared Holy Night Army as soon as possible. After all, there are only 10,000 defenders in the mountain fortress. Once the opponent is allowed to go around the emptiness of the fortress, the consequences will be disastrous."

With this in mind, Lei Xiao immediately contacted Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Bai Wei, A Ling, and A Bing who were still outside, and ordered the five capable main subordinates to start investigating around the fortress.

Afterwards, Lei Xiao signaled to the tiger stick and Hong Ye beside him, trying his best to sense the abnormalities around the fortress, so as to prevent accidents from happening.

After finishing all the arrangements, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to observe the movement below the fortress again.

Judging from the unhurried attitude of the opponent, it was obvious that he was waiting for Aogu's signal.

"It's almost time, let's get started."

Seeing that the time was ripe, Lei Xiao decisively gave the muscle priest the command to activate the signal.

And Ye Cang, who had already prepared, immediately activated the special signal magic scroll.

In the next second, a silent dark blue flare shot straight into the sky.

Then, dragging its long tail, it began to descend slowly over the holy night army, which was extremely conspicuous in the quiet moonlit night.

While the signal flare was slowly falling, the sound of "cracking" iron chain friction sounded.

The high-hanging metal bridge in front of the fortress crashed down, and the giant fortress gate behind the bridge was also completely opened.

At this point, the door of this impregnable mountain fortress has been completely opened.

"Finally opened!"

Seeing that the road ahead had already appeared, the commander of the Holy Night Legion, who was at the front of the fortress and was riding a tall horse, suddenly had a look of joy on his face.

However, just as he was about to give the order to rush into the city, he was stopped by a lieutenant beside him.

"My lord, something is wrong."

The lieutenant general had a solemn expression on his face, and suggested: "Although the time is indeed just right, and the signal is not a problem, but the subordinates always feel that it seems too quiet here, why not let the subordinates lead the cavalry of the three brigades of the headquarters to charge Go in and see what's going on?"

"The deputy general is worrying too much. Now that the gate of the fortress has been opened, if Leng Yan's bastards react and delay the excellent fighter, can you, a deputy general, take the responsibility?"

The commander cast a disdainful glance at the lieutenant, and snorted coldly.

This Holy Night Vanguard Corps, which bears the brunt, is an elite force selected from multiple legions, so that the commander and the two lieutenants are from different teams, representing their own interests.

Therefore, the commander was naturally afraid that the lieutenant would take the lead.

You know, according to the established rewards, as long as you win the first place and get the first prize, you have the right to control the next Lengyan city at will.

"Hehe, it seems that this general is not far from acting recklessly."

The commander with a wretched face first licked his lips, and then his murderous intent was revealed, he raised his long-handled ax and shouted: "Soldiers, rush in with this general, and kill Leng Yan's bastards!"

After all, the commander took the lead and rushed in with his cavalry.

During this process, apart from the commander himself, the cavalry behind him also showed ferocious faces, and the sharp lances and long swords in their hands were constantly shining with a piercing cold light.

Not to be outdone, the other two lieutenants rushed to follow.

So far, this elite intrusion regiment, composed of five brigades of cavalry, four brigades of light infantry, and one brigade of mixed magicians, rushed into the gate of the fort in one go.

Not long after, this murderous intruding army completely entered the urn city of the fortress.

Only then did the commander rushing to the front realize that the gate leading to the inside of the fortress from Wengcheng hadn't been opened, and it looked indestructible.

"Bastard, what are you still dawdling about?"

The commander looked at the soldiers of the Lengyan Army wearing blue armbands above the urn city, and while holding the reins of the tall horse under his crotch, he spat.

But after waiting for a while, the expressionless soldiers still didn't respond, they just looked at him coldly.

Seeing the other party's indifference, the commander suddenly looked contemptuous, and cursed: "It's just a bunch of thieves who are begging for glory. Why don't you hurry up and open it for me..."

However, the commander's angry voice has not yet completely fallen.

Accompanied by a deafening "rumbling" sound, the closed gate in front was not opened, and the fortress gate that was originally open in the rear was completely sealed by a giant gate that fell down.

At this point, the holy night army, which was about to start a massacre just now, was completely trapped in the huge urn city.
