Chapter 550 Heading to Lan Leng Fort

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

"I hope Jiang Li won't encounter any troubles and return to the territory as soon as possible. In this way, my strength will naturally rise to a new level again!"

"After all, the current situation is no longer optimistic. Just in the eastern region of Lengyan, the strength of the first prince and the second prince, which is equivalent to a dozen fifth-tier powerhouses, is enough to cause a great deal of damage to the current territory. threaten."

Lei Xiao frowned, his face became more serious.

In addition, the news that he and Ariel led the defenders of the mountain fortress to defeat the invading Holy Night Army must have reached the ears of the three princes.

This means that the other party will definitely start the next step immediately, and the possibility of a certain prince sending another killer cannot be ruled out.

The most important thing is that with the collection of intelligence from the other party, the city lord Kong Qing, who is a princess guest, will soon be analyzed and deduced by the other party, and will completely enter the other party's sight.

In this way, coupled with the news that there are fifth-order powerhouses active on the battlefield, the threat level of the princess Ke Qing will undoubtedly rise sharply in the hearts of the three princes.

"From the previous information, we can know that I, the new Sky City Lord who came out of nowhere, was not enough to attract the attention of the other party, and belonged to the secondary eradication target among the secondary ones."

"But now, since I have publicly sided with Ariel, the situation will be completely different. After all, Ariel also has the right to inherit the throne."

"Once the fact that I have a town-level fifth-tier powerhouse under my command is confirmed by the other party, the other party will even regard me as a thorn in the side of the road to power. It is not difficult to see from this that the war is inevitable."

Lei Xiao's brows were furrowed even tighter, and his eyes became more dignified.

Once the prelude to the great war kicks off, the flames of the Liaoyuan will surely sweep across the entire area, and even the entire Lengyan Kingdom, and he is obviously not fully prepared yet.

"However, on the bright side, I only control the small city of Kongqing Town, so it won't be easy for the opponent to send troops to attack. After all, the three princes are also secretly restraining each other."

"It can be imagined that once the flames of war are ignited, no one is willing to be the praying mantis that catches cicadas and give other opponents an opportunity, and this just gives me the opportunity to continue to develop."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao frowned, and then relaxed it.

"When I thoroughly investigate the power of the three princes in this area, and control enough neutral cities and troops, it will naturally be time for the opening of the war."

"It is foreseeable that that day is not far away, and the time left for me is already numbered."

Lei Xiao took another deep breath of the fresh air filled with the ruins in the forest, and refocused his attention on the messy and disorderly gravel of the fountain in front of him.

"According to what Old Xiaoer said just now, although he doesn't know exactly what is in this secret treasure, what is certain is that there must be several fifth-order state-defending weapons in it, and they must be well preserved. "

"Not to mention anything else, if you can get the fifth-tier magical weapon and then upgrade it, if you get a sixth-tier two-handed sword or a sixth-tier claw thorn, it will undoubtedly greatly increase the combat power of the knotweed stick and Hongye."

"In this way, whether it is on the future battlefield or in the case of single-handedly confronting the opponent's fifth-order powerhouse, the two of them will be able to occupy a greater absolute advantage."

Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully while looking at the desolate and ruined ruins.

At present, there are two sixth-level magical weapons on my body, namely the cavalry spear [Purple Winged Dragon Spear] and the staff [The Other Side of Time].

【Purple Winged Demon Dragon Spear】Needless to say, even if it is given to Lin now, it will not be of much use, but will be coveted by the enemy.

And Jiang Li's staff [The Other Side of Time] can exert its greatest power because it is in the hands of the user with the blood of the elves.

Moreover, Lei Xiao has also tested that if he uses it himself, the power of [The Other Side of Time] will be between the fourth and fifth levels, and it is far less useful than the fifth level [Nature's Staff].

So after weighing it over and over again, Lei Xiao did not give [The Other Side of Time] to other subordinates during Jiang Li's absence.

After all, Tier 6 equipment is too precious, and the rich splendor emanating from it is far more difficult to suppress than Tier 5 weapons, and it is easy for the enemy to spot the clues.

Once exposed, it is enough to make the holder immediately become the target of public criticism and besieged by jealous enemies.

In this case, not only the life of the owner is in danger, but also if it is damaged or taken away by the enemy, it will be a matter of loss outweighs the gain.

"As for Hong Ye, he has met the conditions for using it, but he himself is extremely resistant to using the staff."

Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly.

"It's no wonder, after all, Hong Ye is a red dragon soaring in the sky. After turning into a human form, using sharp claws to attack is still old-fashioned, but using a magic staff is really difficult for a dragon. It takes a while to get used to it. .”

"However, fortunately, due to Hong Ye's special physique, her spell power and magic power reserves are obviously better than ordinary fifth-level magic powerhouses, and the two can be regarded as canceling out."

Under the towering trees covering the sky and the sun, Lei Xiao looked at the ancient ruins covered in emerald green in front of him, and nodded thoughtfully.

"Speaking of which, when the return date of Jiang Lian has not yet been determined and there is a shortage of powerful magicians, the most convenient way to open this thousand-year-old secret treasure is to look for the descendants of the royal family of Loren?"

In Lei Xiao's mind, the phantom of the thin girl carrying the basket appeared again.

"The mirage projected by nature is sometimes a scene that is happening now, and sometimes it is a scene that has happened in the past, but according to Chaoyan, even if it is a scene that has happened in the past, it will never be too different from the present long years."

"It is not difficult to see from this that the reason why I feel deja vu is because what is reflected in the mirage is the scene of the past, while the real person I have seen with my own eyes is the appearance of a young girl when she grows up. It is not surprising that such a situation has occurred.”

However, following this line of thought, when Lei Xiao went through all the local aborigines who were suspected to be the girl that he had seen since his time travel, he still found nothing.

"Where did I meet her? Who is she? Forget it, maybe if I see her again, I can remember it."

Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly, and brought his thoughts back to reality.

I saw Lei Xiaolue pondering for a while, and said to the old blacksmith who was still in a state of excitement: "Old Mr. Fang Hai, after returning to Kongqing Town, according to the mirage you saw just now, let the best painter in the city Draw a portrait of the girl and perform a batch of magical printing."

"Then quickly send cronies to distribute it, and mobilize leaders from all over the place, as well as members of the Shadow Squadron, to conduct a secret search."

Lei Xiao's gaze was like a torch, and he ordered: "If you find something new, be sure to report it to me as soon as possible."

"Obey! Please rest assured, my lord!"

Fang Hai bowed immediately, and said respectfully.

"Okay, since the matter here has come to an end, let's leave this forest first."

While the insects were chirping and the katydids were jumping, Lei Xiao listened to the faint sound of the waterfall in the direction of the Songyin Mountain Range not far away, and nodded to his subordinates again.

"My lord, why don't you take a trip to Lan Leng Castle?"

Burt pondered for a while, and then suggested: "The last time, Her Royal Highness said that this place is not far from Lan Leng Castle."

"Also, as the Lord Orr mentioned before, as the leading brewing town in the eastern region of Lengyan, the wealth reserves of Lan Leng Castle cannot be underestimated."

Bert stroked his short white beard lightly, and added: "If you can control it, it will definitely have a big impact on the territory from all aspects."

"My lord, what Senior Burt said is very true. Even if we can't get it, we must never let it fall into the hands of the other princes."

On the orange-white face, a murderous look appeared involuntarily, and he bowed to Lei Xiao.

"That's exactly what I mean."

Lei Xiao nodded, and while stepping on the giant white wolf, he said to Princess Lengyan: "Ariel, lead the way ahead, the target is Lan Lengbao, a wine-making town!"

"Obey! Your lord!"

Ariel stroked her chest and saluted, and said respectfully.

Under the guidance of Ariel, after a period of speeding.

The group of people wearing the invisibility cloak quickly passed through this rather vast dense forest, came to the bright sunlight, and galloped straight to the southeast plain.

After flying out of the forest, Lei Xiao, who was riding on the giant white wolf, felt the gust of wind whizzing past his ears, and at the same time remembered Ariel's previous description of the Lord of Lan Leng Castle.

"The city lord named Marquis Rose is named Shuanghua, which sounds like a very unusual name."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, thinking with great interest.

"Furthermore, according to Ariel, this person served as the royal brewer of the Lengyan royal family when he was young, and had contact with Ariel."

"When Ariel mentioned this person at the time, the weird expression that emerged showed that this person is definitely very special. After all, the person who can make the unruly and willful fifth princess of Lengyan show such an expression, It's the first time I've seen it."

A hint of curiosity appeared on Lei Xiao's face involuntarily, and his expression began to look expectant.

At present, there are no members of the Shadow Squadron stationed in Lan Lengbao, but judging from the information obtained from Orr.

There are a lot of garrison troops here, reaching a size of 5,000 people, but the population size is slightly smaller than that of Kongqing Town.

As for the pillar industry in the whole town, there is naturally only one kind, and that is brewing fine wine.

"With a limited population but with such a large number of garrison troops, it seems that Lan Lengbao's financial resources should not be underestimated."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, on the endless plain ahead, the blurred outline of a city began to slowly emerge.

Among the blue sky and white clouds, what first appeared in Lei Xiao's eyes was a series of emerald green orchards, followed by a series of green wheat fields.

Under the bright sunshine, there is a vibrant picture everywhere, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

"What a city with rich pastoral scenery. It seems that these well-maintained orchards and wheat fields are the raw materials for wine making."

While admiring the beautiful scenery, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

Accompanied by another round of chasing the wind and electricity, between the green wheat fields on both sides of the road and the narrow country roads, the towering city walls in the distance have already caught the eyes of the group.

"My lord, the front is the outskirts of Lan Leng Fort, and we will reach our destination soon."

Ariel's crisp voice first reached Lei Xiao's ears through chanting.

"Very good, first find a nearby hidden place to put on the illusion cloak, and then start walking forward."

Lei Xiao patted Bai Wei on his crotch lightly, and ordered to his subordinates.

It didn't take long, after some illusion dressing, plus the travel backpack and other items in the storage ring, Lei Xiao and others are no different from ordinary travelers.

After walking along the narrow country gravel road for about ten minutes, a group of people who looked dusty and dusty stepped onto the neatly repaired wide avenue at the turn of the peak.

At this time, Lei Xiao, who was surrounded by his subordinates, noticed.

This avenue is extremely lively, and from time to time, a group of carriages full of wine barrels can be seen, driving slowly past under the yelling and whipping of the coachmen.

The guards of these convoys were not only mercenaries in different dresses, but also many garrison soldiers with uniform equipment. Judging from the coat of arms engraved on the chest of the armor, they obviously came from different cities.

"It's interesting. Although the location here is relatively remote, it is quite prosperous."

Lei Xiao looked at the carriages passing by around him, with a relaxed expression on his travels.

"Yes, my lord, this place is indeed a brewing town."

Bai Wei, who has a keen sense of smell, wrinkled her nose, sniffed lightly, and exclaimed to Lei Xiao in a low voice: "The subordinates can already smell the fermented fruit, sour and sweet. "

"You girl, what you said made my teeth a little sore."

Lei Xiao swallowed subconsciously and smiled helplessly.

However, before Lei Xiao could say anything else.

Bai Wei's calm expression suddenly became tense, and she whispered to Lei Xiao: "My lord, this subordinate just smelled a very strange and unfamiliar body odor. There seems to be something lurking in the city ahead. A dangerous monster!"

"oh?"

Hearing Bai Wei nervously say this, a puzzled expression appeared on Lei Xiao's face.

With brisk steps, the group of people were already approaching the gate of the city.

No trace of chaos or tension can be seen from the orderly caravans of merchants, travelers and drinkers, or from the garrison soldiers lined up neatly above and below the city.

"In such a well-ordered and peaceful town, how could there be traces of dangerous monsters?"

Realizing this, the puzzled expression on Lei Xiao's face became more and more obvious.
