Chapter 969

Needless to say, the young man standing tall and straight surrounded by all the strong men is none other than Lei Xiao.

And beside Lei Xiao, there was a graceful and beautiful young woman, who was naturally Ariel who was the heir to the throne.

"Everyone, that is my guest, Your Excellency. As for Her Royal Highness, I don't need to make more introductions, right?"

Seeing Lei Xiao's figure, the old Thomas who was leading the way was the first to bear the brunt, and said with an excited expression on his face.

"I didn't expect Your Excellency Ke Qing to be so young and promising!"

Looking at Lei Xiao's face with a faint smile, the 12 legion commanders who had assembled, including Cole, Kewen, Boots, and Lorna, couldn't help but be amazed.

Most of them are already middle-aged, and Your Excellency Ke Qing's courage and means are undoubtedly far inferior to those of the family elites.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and tidy up your armor and appearance. We will show the best side of the Shanglu family to Your Excellency Keqing!"

Thomas's hurried old voice reached the ears of the commanders again.

Hearing Thomas' urging, Cole and other legion commanders came back to their senses one after another, and immediately began to tidy up each other in a hurry.

During this process, all the commanders looked at Thomas and other elders with white beards and hair, and they also showed admiration to Your Excellency Ke Qing, adding an uncontrollable tension in their hearts.

You know, even if the former Patriarch Hanshui came here, these elders who control the power of the family have never shown such reverent expressions!

"I didn't expect Your Excellency Ke Qing to be so young and promising. It's the first time I've seen someone other than His Majesty the old king who can make my father show such an expression. Your Excellency Ke Qing is really extraordinary!"

Just when Cole was very excited, Lei Xiao had brought Ariel and others to greet him.

Seeing Lei Xiao and Ai Lier lowering their stances to welcome them in person, all the Shanglu commanders were overwhelmed with flattery, and hurriedly quickened their pace.

"Greetings, Your Excellency Keqing, and Your Royal Highness the Princess!"

When we got closer, the 12 legion commanders immediately knelt down and saluted, and said in unison: "Thank you, Your Excellency Keqing and Your Royal Highness, for saving our lives regardless of their own safety!"

After the commanders finished speaking, the soldiers who could not see the end behind them all knelt down on the ground, and there was a neat and crisp sound of armor clashing.

"Everyone, please, seeing that you are safe and sound, our efforts have not been in vain."

Lei Xiao smiled and nodded, raised his hand to signal everyone to get up, frowned again, and said solemnly: "Although I really want to have a chat with you, but the battle is urgent now, so I will make a long story short.

"Our next goal is only one, and that is to rush to the rescue of the 10 legions in the outer city. As for the specific action arrangement, I will convey it to you during the march."

Lei Xiao listened to the fierce shouts coming from the outer city, and then he waved his hand and said, "Let's go! Princess Ariel and I will fight side by side with you!"

"Obey! The Shanglu family is willing to fight to the death for His Excellency Ke Qing and His Royal Highness the Princess!"

After receiving Lei Xiao's order, Cole and other commanders touched their chests and saluted, and then immediately returned to the team and began to mobilize the army under their command.

In front of the Merchant Army Corps is the eastern city gate from the central urban area to the outer city.

This is the closest to the battlefield where our 10 legions were besieged in the outer city, and it is the best way to reinforce them.

As for the few remaining enemy troops on the city wall, they had already been wiped out in advance by the main force led by Lei Xiao, and the absolute defensive barrier and the sudden dimensional storm were all removed.

This means that no one can stop our progress!

"Charge! Save the 10 legions in the outer city!"

In a flash, Lei Xiao appeared on the towering city gate.

Lei Xiao pulled out Rolander, pointing the tip of his sword at the scorching battlefield filled with gunpowder and smoke in the outer city.

And directly below Lei Xiao, the thick gate of the central city opened at a high speed. The two brothers Cole and Ke Wen were the first to bear the brunt. .

For a moment, the screams of our 120,000 soldiers were earth-shattering, the stag battle flags of the Shanglu family waved in the wind, and the sharp sword blades shone in the sun. The momentum was extremely astonishing.

Seeing our army rushing into the outer city like a torrent of steel, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

Another important reason why our operations are so smooth is that while dispelling the dimensional storm.

Ersha, Xiaoya, Mia, and Xiao Huan, who were staying outside the city, performed illusion under Lei Xiao's order, making the central city look like it was still shrouded in a dimensional storm.

This is just a simple sky illusion. For master illusionists such as Xiaohuan and Ersha, it is naturally a piece of cake. The illusionists even have the power to easily confuse all the surrounding magicians who provide energy for the dimension storm. Prevent the other party from disclosing the situation.

In this way, although many flaws will still be exposed, for the enemy legions who are besieging the 10 legions in our outer city with all their hearts and minds, it will definitely take a certain amount of reaction time.

And taking advantage of this gap, our side is able to gather strength to point the sword at the outer city, and catch the opponent off guard.

The fact is just as Lei Xiao expected, at the same time that Lei Xiao successfully dispelled the dimensional storm.

Aubrey, commander of the Lancaster family, and Barrow, commander of the Yorkman family, who were in the outer city and were commanding the army to besiege us frantically, soon discovered the clue.

Barrow and Aubrey were surprised to find that the magicians of the Yorkman family who supplied energy to the dimensional crystals and the magicians of the Lancaster family who assisted in the supply had lost contact with each other, while the dimensional storm in the central city was still raging crazily .

In addition to doubts, the two first thought that maybe it was because of the interference of the dimensional storm that the magic communication was interrupted. After all, this kind of man-made dimensional storm was put on the battlefield for the first time, and the two of them were not sure.

However, for the sake of caution, the two decisively sent several batches of capable messengers to check, but they all went without returning.

Finally, when the two realized that the situation seemed to be in bad shape, our shouts of killing resounded throughout the world from the eastern gate of the central city.

"It's the Bucks Battle Banner! The army from the central urban area of ​​the Shanglu family is here!"

Hearing the scout's hasty report, Barrow and Aubrey were taken aback, and began to look at each other.

Although their hearts were full of doubts, they never expected that the 12 legions in the central urban area of ​​the Shanglu family broke through the blockade and ravages of the dimensional storm, and went straight into the outer city!

You know, let alone an army of one hundred thousand, even an army of one million cannot break through the blockade of the Dimensional Storm!

"Report, report! At the center of many stag battle flags, there are still flying the flag of the Phantom Lord and the princess flag of the fifth princess!"

Accompanied by the follow-up report, Barrow and Aubrey's complexions instantly turned pale, and it was like waking up from a dream.

It turned out that all of this was done by that despicable outsider!

Now that the opponent's battle flag has appeared, it means that the opponent's deity is already in the city!

"Bastard! How did that despicable outsider break through the double blockade of the outer city's absolute defense barrier and the dimensional storm, and finally enter the central city?!"

Baro clenched his fists loudly, but his forehead was already dripping with sweat.

In order to eat up our precarious 10 outer city legions as soon as possible, the frenzied Barrow and Aubrey almost suppressed all the 28 legions in their hands, leaving not many reserves at all.

This undoubtedly means that the opponent's army will drive straight into the rear of the besieging troops!

"How did that bastard, despicable outsider, bring the army out of the dimensional storm? It's impossible!"

Surprised in his heart, Baro, who had almost lost his mind, looked up at the phantom of the dimensional storm that was still raging, and kept yelling: "It is absolutely impossible for him to enter the castle of Kell!"

"General Barrow, now is not the time to worry about these things."

Aubrey, who was also in a panic, reacted quickly and shouted: "The most urgent task now is to mobilize the besieged rear troops to turn around and block the merchant land army in the central city area that is about to rush to rescue!"

"That's right, we will start to act immediately. If that despicable outsider wants to jump in front of us, he must first carefully weigh whether he has the ability!"

Hearing the sound, Baro also quickly suppressed the anger in his heart, became calm again, and began to dispatch troops calmly.

They are veteran commanders who have experienced many battles. Although the incident happened suddenly, their rich combat experience made their orders still extremely threatening.

Under the command of Barrow and Aubrey, facing the overwhelming merchant army, although the rear of the enemy's siege troops fell into chaos, they quickly recovered.

The archers and magicians who were originally deployed in the rear moved forward at a high speed, while the infantry in front stepped back one after another, their heavy shields fell to the ground, their spears were erected, and they formed a defensive formation to attack.

"Hey, it might not be that easy to defeat us!"

I saw a commander of the Yorkman family standing behind, looking at the menacing merchant land army, a sneer appeared on his cheeks: "My Yorkman family's positional warfare is invincible, even if you are lucky So what if you escaped from the central city?"

The commander of the Yorkman family clearly understood that at present, the 10 legions in the outer city of Shanglu, which were under siege, were at the end of their battles, and it was only a matter of time before they were wiped out.

As long as he can persist until the 10 merchant army regiments are completely wiped out, at that time, the large army will turn around and attack, and the opponent will undoubtedly die!

Thinking of this, the commander of the Yorkman family raised his sword and roared, and began to boost the morale of the soldiers around him: "Brave soldiers of the Yorkman family, as long as we hold our ground, victory will still belong to us!"

However, in the next second, an extremely burly strange figure covered the sky and covered the sun, as if a god descended, and landed heavily in front of the commander of the Yorkman family.

The unstoppable blade of the giant sword flashed past, easily cutting through the heavy armor and flesh and blood, bringing out a shocking bright red.

When the surrounding Yorkman family guards reacted, their commander had already been decapitated, and his uncontrolled body fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.

As for the sudden striker, it has already disappeared.

It was the knotweed stick holding the dragon-slaying sword.

Right now, beside Lei Xiao, there are three fifth-tier powerhouses. With such a powerful tactical force, how long should we wait now?

With the beheading of the commander, the leaderless Yorkman army fell into chaos again, but the swords of our soldiers had already reached the opponent's chest.

Under the fierce offensive of our soldiers, this desperate Yorkman army didn't hold on for long, but was defeated like a mountain and lost its strong position.

Such an unstoppable scene happened in almost every block in the outer city.

Under Lei Xiao's calm command, and the concerted efforts of the three fifth-tier powerhouses under his command, the main subordinates, magicians such as Xiao Huan, Cole, and Rona, our soldiers have been invincible all the way, and captured one after another. The defense line that the opponent has hastily established.

On the other side of the battlefield, they received the news that Lei Xiao led the army from the central city to come to help. The merchant army from the outer city, which was besieged in the center and struggling to support, also boosted their morale, and even began to show signs of a counterattack.

Because all this was going on too quickly, along with the successive defeats, Barrow and Aubrey discovered it.

They obviously underestimated Lei Xiao's command ability, and also underestimated the determination of Shanglu soldiers to save their colleagues.

However, the outer city has a full 28 well-trained enemy legions.

While our side was in full swing, more enemy legions behind us took the opportunity to turn their swords and establish defensive positions.

Finally, with more and more blocking enemy troops, coupled with the limited terrain of the block battlefield, our soldiers who rushed to help inevitably slowed down their pace, fought with the enemy, and fell into a stalemate.

At the same time, the four princes, Stone, and Kent, who had been sitting in the secret command post, were all surprised.

Since Lei Xiao led the army to break through the dimensional storm, a series of defeats spread like snowflakes, which made the three of them who thought everything was going to be all right were unexpected.

"This damned despicable scum from another world, this prince will tear him apart with his own hands!"

After receiving the news that the enemy and us were in a stalemate in the outer city, the fourth prince finally couldn't sit still any longer, and an uncontrollable anger immediately appeared on his gloomy face.

The fourth prince clearly understands that his side is already in an extremely passive state. If he doesn't make a move, Fort Kell may really be in jeopardy.

Thinking of this, the fourth prince suddenly stood up, and said to the two wealthy patriarchs, Stone and Kent, who were still commanding from a distance: "This prince can't just sit and wait, this time, this prince will meet with you in person." That despicable alien scum fights!"

"Your Highness can appear on the battlefield in person, and our morale will definitely be boosted!"

Stone and Kent, who were also devastated, did not object, and both stood up with gloomy faces, filled with strong killing intent.

"It's also time for that despicable scum from another world to see the real horror of us."
