Chapter 971 The Trap and Another Trap

On the spacious and deadly silent block, it was densely packed with our soldiers preparing to break out.

Under the mottled battle helmets covered with blood and mud, there were pairs of confused but terrified eyes.

"Trap! It's a trap! Get out!"

A panicked voice finally broke the silence, immediately causing the already panicked soldiers to explode, and began to scramble to retreat like a tide.

Caught off guard, a large number of soldiers who reacted a beat slower were squeezed to the ground by the panicked crowd, and then what was reflected in the terrified eyes of the fallen soldiers was a pair of heavy combat boots that gradually enlarged and covered the sky.

The screams and wailing immediately resounded through the streets.

But this is only the beginning of the fatal.

On the crowded ground of the panicked crowd, a dense crimson magic circle appeared quietly, quickly gathering the fire energy particles that permeated the air.

In the blink of an eye, the crimson magic circle that gathered more and more energy particles flashed rapidly.

As the flickering frequency of the magic circle became higher and higher, the surrounding temperature also rose sharply. Finally, earth-shattering explosions sounded.

Among the panicked soldiers on our side, balls of flames burst out one after another, and together with them, there were countless broken limbs and bright red splashes.

So far, the situation has been self-evident.

Just like what the shout said just now, our besieged soldiers who were eager to break out of the siege obviously plunged into the opponent's deadly trap.

All of a sudden, screams, howls, and earth-shattering explosions continued, and the deadly flames engulfed everything, leaving only indistinct balls of scorched black and melted iron from the armor, still smoldering. cigarette.

However, until the last moment, the eyes that were gradually losing their focus were still full of brightness and hope.

"Stupid things."

On an inconspicuous and dark platform, the fourth prince, who was in an invisible state, looked coldly at our soldiers who were sinking in the scorching flames, and spat with disdain.

These magic traps are naturally made by the Lancaster family and the Yorkman family. Compared with magic traps of other attributes, the fire type is the most violent and concise.

"Okay, I'm ready to leave. There is nothing more boring than watching these stupid things kill themselves. As long as these stupid things are completely wiped out, the scum from other worlds will not be far from death."

The fourth prince shook the cloak on his body, and nodded to Stone and Ken who were hiding in the shadows.

The strong smell of blood and burnt smell in the air made him extremely uncomfortable, even a little nauseated.

However, for him who left the capital since he was a child and was not pampered like other royal heirs, that was all.

"Your Highness, something is wrong."

Stone stroked his gray beard lightly, with a pair of old wrinkled eyes, staring at the bloody and fire-covered neighborhood below, he frowned and said: "Although these merchant land soldiers who broke into the trap seemed to be in a panic, they just fled to the rear. , and did not disperse into the surrounding narrow streets and alleys, which is obviously unreasonable."

"So, are these illusions performed by that despicable scum from another world?"

The fourth prince's eyebrows were knit together, and the gloom on his face became more intense.

I saw him stretch out his palm, and a small light yellow magic scroll emerged.

Immediately afterwards, the fourth prince tossed it casually, and the moment the small scroll was released from his hand, it melted into the air directly, completely in a state of invisibility.

It wasn't until the invisibility scroll fell into the burning alley that it reappeared, stirring up a wave of gray energy that seemed to exist and seemed to disappear.

Wherever the waves of gray energy went, the figures of our soldiers struggling in the flames suddenly became ethereal, but soon returned to normal.

"Sure enough, it's another blindfold of that despicable scum from another world!"

The fourth prince clenched his fists and spat hard again.

The co-authors observed here for a long time, and all they saw was a scene carefully presented by that despicable scum from another world!

When Lei Xiao first used illusion to deceive the world, the fourth prince had already learned about it.

This kind of illusion is as high as the fifth level, and even ordinary fifth-level powerhouses cannot easily detect it, which is undoubtedly extremely difficult.

But the outer city is different from the central city, but it has a perfect illusion interference enchantment, which is enough to make the fifth-order illusion nowhere to hide. How did this despicable guy continue to hide the truth?

Just when the fourth prince was having doubts, Kent's deep report sounded.

"His Royal Highness, the scouts just reported that the surrounding magic towers that interfere with the enchantment with illusions have been secretly destroyed by that despicable outsider, and they have been using illusions to pretend they are intact!"

Hearing Kent's words, the fourth prince finally couldn't help it, and furiously said again: "It seems that that bastard has already noticed our attack target, so he deployed it in advance!"

"Your Highness, don't be impatient. In the subsequent deployment of magic traps, the subordinates have specially arranged an extremely elite detection enchantment."

Stone stroked his beard lightly, his old face full of calmness.

"Although this detection barrier cannot directly see through the phantom, it can accurately identify the breath of the soldiers. If the phantom enters the coverage of the trap, the veteran can see through it at a glance."

"At that time, the opponent will still have nowhere to hide. I just need to let go of the phantom and launch the trap when the real soldiers who break through the encirclement arrive. Use the phantom soldiers to open the way ahead to break the trap, and then use the real soldiers to break through. It's the opponent's plan."

Old Stone nodded to the fourth prince, grinned grinningly and said: "In addition, although the illusion countermeasures cast by the fifth-level helper invited by the old minister have been broken by the other party, but the helper has already prepared in secret. A killer move."

"Your Highness, although the other party saw through our goal, we just wasted a few traps that were hastily deployed, and there was no actual loss. This is what we expected."

There was also a gloomy look on Kent's face, and he echoed: "In the final analysis, these remnants and defeated generals are still the turtles in the urn, and I have countless ways to eliminate them."

"You two are right. This prince has already set up a net around these trapped soldiers. If you want to break out of the encirclement with just these phantom soldiers, that despicable scum from another world is just dreaming."

The fourth prince gave a disdainful smile, and immediately disappeared in place with the movement of the two wealthy patriarchs, leaving only a grim sentence, which was still echoing in the scorching air.

"This prince should take a good look at it. Apart from these illusory tricks, what tricks can that despicable alien scum play? The little cleverness who has played in front of this prince once, don't want to succeed a second time!"

...

Just as the fourth prince and his group reintegrated into the darkness.

The sound of explosions that had sounded successively in the surrounding streets and alleys gradually stopped, causing everything around to return to silence.

"Thanks to Your Excellency Ke Qing's deployment, otherwise we, who were about to break out in one go, would have been torn apart in the fire."

Under the bright moon, a middle-aged Shanglu commander with mottled armor wiped off the sweat from his scorched forehead, and swallowed unconsciously.

His name is Andy, he is one of the main generals of the besieged merchant army, and he is also Lorna's elder brother.

At the beginning, Andy was not optimistic about this foreign guest who suddenly took over the military power.

After all, this guy is just an outsider of unknown origin, so what qualifications does he have to command their well-equipped and well-trained giant army?

However, when he learned of the miraculous battle situation in the central city and the troops led by His Excellency Ke Qing and Princess Ariel who took the lead, Andy changed his view unknowingly.

And now that he escaped from death again, he began to worship from the bottom of his heart that Your Excellency the Guest of Honor whom he had not met yet.

It is undoubtedly their greatest honor to be under the command of Your Excellency Ke Qing!

"Master Legion Commander, Your Excellency Ke Qing's latest order is here!"

Not far away, a capable communication staff officer hurriedly bowed to report after finishing the magical communication: "I just need to continue to follow behind the phantom troops, and the real ones will be fine!"

"Very good, let's move on."

Without the slightest hesitation, Andy waved his hand and said, "Soldiers, we are waiting for this main army to be the vanguard specially selected by Your Excellency Ke Qing, and we must not disappoint Your Excellency Ke Qing's expectations!"

Hearing Andy's order, although the soldiers around Shanglu looked tired, they still clenched their weapons, held up the battle flag, and took another step forward.

In front of and behind them, there are phantom legions that are enough to be faked. Even in a head-on confrontation, the enemy cannot immediately find out the clues.

All in all, with the arrangement of Your Excellency Ke Qing, they will surely save themselves from danger and pass through this dangerous trap area smoothly!

However, what Andy didn't know was that they, who had just escaped a catastrophe, were entering another deadly situation that had already been set up.

Accompanied by the advance of the legion commanded by Andy, their vigorous steps soon came into the sight of the fourth prince and his group.

"Your Highness, the old minister can vaguely perceive that among this huge number of enemy troops, although most of them are phantoms, there must be a powerful force hidden."

Stone's old eyes narrowed slightly, staring closely at our legion that was advancing at a high speed in the block below, and said with a sinister smile to the fourth prince: "This time the magic trap is perfectly deployed with the detection enchantment that the old minister just said. Don't even think about keeping the old minister's eyes on the tricks of despicable outsiders!"

"Then it's all up to Mr. Stone."

The fourth prince nodded slightly, watching the development below closely.

The fourth prince clearly understood that the scroll of seeing through illusions of the highest level on his body was only at the fourth level, and the same was true of the two wealthy patriarchs.

If it was under the influence of the magic trap explosion, some clues could be seen, otherwise it would be impossible to directly see through the phantom soldiers of the opponent.

This means that in the case where the illusion interference barrier has failed, if you want to annihilate your opponent at the lowest cost, you can only rely on the detection barrier laid by Stone.

Theoretically speaking, although phantom soldiers can be faked and even touched, they are all inanimate illusions after all, so Stone's breath detection enchantment is indeed enough to make the opponent have nowhere to hide.

In addition, this part of the magic trap set by Stone has also spent a lot of money to bless the hidden enchantment of the fifth level, even the fifth-level powerhouse can't see any clues.

"Hehe, everything is ready, you despicable scum from another world, since you have already regarded illusion as a means of deception, then let this prince smash your ridiculous illusions personally."

The fourth prince also narrowed his eyes, staring at the development of the neighborhood below.

It is true that with his current methods, even forcibly annihilating these remnants and defeated generals is not impossible.

The reason why he insisted on using magic traps was that apart from being the most convenient way, another important reason was to break the trust of the Merchant Army Corps in Lei Xiao.

It can be imagined that the reason why these merchant army regiments obeyed the orders of Lei Xiao, who was the lord of the foreign world, was mainly because of Lei Xiao's series of arrangements, which indeed gave the originally weak merchant army regiments a lot of advantages.

But if under Lei Xiao's arrangement, these remnants of defeated soldiers are still wiped out, then what will be reduced by the other merchant armies rushing to aid is not only the morale, but also the trust in Lei Xiao.

At that time, even if Lei Xiao, who is at odds with the Merchant Army Corps, has no means of recovery, no matter how clever his methods are, he will lose the war completely.

"It seems that it won't be long before the despicable scum from the other world and the glass flower of the fifth glasshouse will all fall into the hands of this prince. The prince who will be crowned king at that time will definitely ask you to live or die!"

The fourth prince had a sinister smile on his lips, while thinking in his heart, he continued to pay attention to the developments in the neighborhood below.

At this time, under Stone's strict monitoring, the front phantom army had successfully passed the area where the deadly trap was located, and continued to move forward without noticing.

And behind this phantom army, another merchant army, which looked obviously much more tired, was rapidly approaching the deadly trap area.

Once these deadly magic traps are fully activated, it is enough to wipe out an army and an entire block.

"Um?"

Stone, who was perceiving the detection barrier, moved his muddy old eyes, apparently aware of something.

I saw the old face of the Lancaster patriarch slowly showing a touch of contempt and joking, and said with a sneer to the fourth prince: "Your Highness, this army that is approaching the trap is that despicable alien scum. The true Legion hidden!"

"When all the enemy troops enter the trap, let's start."

The fourth prince's gloomy eyes lit up immediately, and he nodded to Stone.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, leave everything to the old minister."

With a look of ease, Stone first grinned at the fourth prince, then concentrated his mind and continued to pay attention to the development below.

And the exhausted army, which was unaware, soon completely entered the coverage of the magic trap.

"Hehe, the feast of blood and wailing has begun."

Seeing this, Stone, whose old face was full of hostility, activated all the magic traps decisively, causing continuous explosion sounds to reach the ears of the fourth prince.

Hearing the earth-shattering explosions and screams, the excited fourth prince resolutely used another illusion to see through the scroll.

This time, there was not a trace of illusoryness on the scorching scene of the flames rising, which undoubtedly meant that they really hit the real legion!

Looking down at the chaotic neighborhood where severed limbs and remnants flew together, the smile on the face of the fourth prince became more intense, quietly watching our soldiers who were caught off guard completely fell in the sea of ​​flames.
