Chapter 972
There were wailing sounds in the neighborhood where the flames were raging, and the soldiers of Phantasia covered in flames kept running and twisting in the scorching heat. Melted armors and weapons kept falling to the ground, making the whole scene extremely chaotic.
However, the giant fireballs that exploded one after another in the crowd of soldiers swallowed up the panicked soldiers in an instant, leaving only the thick black smoke that exudes a burnt smell, still rising straight into the moonlight.
Amidst the continuous and violent explosions, the entire block was turned into an endless sea of flames, and the surrounding buildings that were affected by the explosions and collapsed completely blocked all escape routes.
The flames like a bloodthirsty demon ignited everything, causing this army that was caught off guard to be killed and injured very quickly, and there was no room for escape at all.
"Hahaha, this is the fate of following that despicable alien scum!"
The flickering deadly fire reflected the ferocious face of the fourth prince.
Looking at the Shanglu soldiers who soon fell into the flames, not only the fourth prince, but also Stone and Kent were full of teasing expressions.
This is just part of the traps they laid. As long as this merchant army group is wiped out, the morale of other merchant army groups that are about to break out will also be greatly reduced due to fear.
At that time, even if the despicable scum from the other world has three heads and six arms, it will not be able to save these defeated soldiers.
"As expected of Mr. Stone, so what if that despicable scum from another world is assisted by illusion?"
The fourth prince wandered his eyes, moved his eyes away from the scorching death, and landed on the rickety body of Patriarch Lancaster. He nodded in satisfaction and said, "We have wiped out this legion with little effort. , that despicable scum from another world must be in a panic by now."
"Hehe, Your Highness has praised you, these are just trivial tricks."
Stone stroked his gray beard lightly, his wrinkled old face was full of disdain, and said lightly: "In the end, that despicable scum from another world can only play tricks, and the glass vase princess is even a decoration. , the old minister has taught them how to be human."
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, in front of us and other real nobles, that despicable outsider and his generals will be vulnerable in the end."
Kent also nodded indifferently. Although the Lancaster family took the lead this time, the other methods of the Yorkman family were not far behind, but they hadn't been revealed yet.
"With the support of the two of you, this prince's aspiration to the throne is just around the corner!"
The fourth prince had a smug expression on his face, and he cast his eyes on the scorching neighborhood again.
I saw that under the ravages of the blazing magic flames, the entire block had gradually returned to silence, or in other words, everything had been burned to ashes, leaving only patches of scorched blackness.
"Hehe, everything is done, it's time for the rest of Shanglu to be defeated. Under the leadership of that despicable alien scum, these wastes dare to fight against the mighty master of my Lancaster family. It's hard to live!" Getting impatient."
Stone cast a glance at the anxiety on the ground, and sneered disdainfully, with a playful look on his face: "You know, my Lancaster family has already killed many alien lords who came suddenly, and it's not bad for this despicable alien lord." A world scum."
After finishing speaking, Stone shook off the ashes that fell from the gorgeous robe, and just about to turn around and leave, his cloudy old eyes suddenly opened wide.
He was surprised to find that in a corner of the block, in a pile of gradually extinguished embers, a very familiar dilapidated battle flag was exposed, and what was depicted on it was a ferocious pterosaur covering the sky!
"Isn't this the battle flag of my Lancaster family? How did it appear here?"
Stone's bloodshot, cloudy eyeballs almost protruded from their sockets, staring at the broken battle flag.
Then, he noticed further.
The standard equipment of the Pokemon family on the soldiers who were like coke, unexpectedly all became the standard equipment of his Lancaster family at some point!
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar strange scene in front of him, before Stone could react, Aubrey's surprised report suddenly sounded in his ears.
"My lord, a legion of our family who besieged the defeated soldiers of Shanglu not long ago suddenly disappeared on the battlefield. It is suspected that they were replaced by the phantom legion of the opponent, and the real legion of our family has lost contact and is currently missing. unknown!"
Hearing Aubrey's report, Stone reacted instantly, the banter and complacency on his old face completely dissipated, replaced by an unstoppable exasperation.
So far, the situation has been self-evident.
It turned out that what he had planned to kill with magic traps was not the Merchant Army Corps eager to break through, but the Lancaster Family Legion loyal to him!
"After a long time of trouble, the old man actually buried a legion of my Lancaster family with his own hands?!"
Just when Stone's wrinkled old face was full of disbelief and anger.
The fourth prince and Kent also quickly noticed the strangeness, and cast their astonished gazes over.
It's just that the eyes of the former are full of bewilderment and confusion, while the latter's surprise is also vaguely gloating.
"Mr. Stone, what is going on?"
The fourth prince looked at the corpses of Lancaster soldiers that were still smoking black smoke in surprise, and the disbelief in his brown eyes became more and more obvious.
"Your Highness, it seems that these are also the tricks of that despicable alien scum!"
Stone gritted his teeth, and said slowly with a gloomy old face: "Although the old man guessed that the despicable guest scum would mix the real legion with the phantom legion, he never expected that the other party would disguise the old man's own legion as that The appearance of the Merchant Army Corps!"
"But how did that guy do it?!"
The fourth prince didn't even have time to get angry, his blank face was still full of puzzlement.
"With so many phantom legions created, how could the opponent still have the strength to confuse our entire legion and perform illusion camouflage? Even a top-level illusionist of the fifth level cannot do this! "
Just when the fourth prince and his gang were in trouble again.
All of this was naturally seen by Lei Xiao and his party on the other side of the battlefield.
"Your Excellency, Ke Qing, you really predicted things well. That old Stone actually buried a Lancaster Legion under his own command. Presumably that vicious old guy must be about to die of anger?"
Ai Wen's old face was full of excitement and reverence, he nodded to Lei Xiao and said: "If it weren't for the deployment of Your Excellency Ke Qing, our breakout army as the vanguard has been destroyed twice."
After finishing speaking, a lingering fear appeared on Ai Wen's old face again.
You know, Andy, the commander of the breakout army, is Aiwen's only son, and he has been carefully cultivated and cared for since he was a child.
If something really happened, I am afraid that the elder of the Shanglu family would pass out immediately and never get up again.
In other words, Lei Xiao's series of deployment undoubtedly saved Andy's life twice!
Thinking of this, this neutral elder who used to dare to jump left and right in the face of cold water, still has a slight dislike for Lei Xiao, wishing to kneel at Lei Xiao's feet for a long time, so as to swear his loyalty and love. gratitude.
"Elder Aiwen is too much, I just made some preparations for a rainy day."
Lei Xiao nodded to the excited elder, and said with a faint smile, "It can kill two birds with one stone if we can save our army from danger again."
Just like what Lei Xiao said, the reason why he made such a deployment was to take advantage of the chaos to confuse and transform the entire Lancaster army into the appearance of our army when the opponent withdrew from the line. The purpose is to confuse the public and wait for an opportunity to make the opponents kill each other.
After all, when the opponent "inadvertently" revealed a flaw and the defense line collapsed, Lei Xiao had already been keenly aware of the clues.
Furthermore, at the first moment, they notified the merchant army regiment who was about to break out of the siege not to act rashly, and made a phantom of reckless breakout to prevent the opponent from playing tricks.
In the end, the phantom army charging at the front really hit the opponent's magic trap and saved a life for our soldiers. This was the first time the magic trap was detonated.
Then, Lei Xiao decisively led the camouflaged Lancaster Legion to take the lead, to see if the opponent would score twice, and while trying to see through the cover of the Phantom Legion, he continued to ambush us with traps.
After all, with the lessons learned from the past, the other party may never sit still and wait for death.
Sure enough, the other party successfully let go of the front phantom army, and then poured a series of deadly magic traps on their own people crazily.
"It is not difficult to see from this that the opponent can only judge the difference between the phantom legion and the real legion, but cannot judge whether the real legion has carried out illusion camouflage."
"In other words, the opponent still can't accurately see through our illusion, but just used some method similar to detecting breath."
"In any case, this is another kind of cannibalism. After all, it's not in vain. It not only consumes the opponent's magic trap, but also prevents our army from falling into the trap."
Lei Xiao slightly raised his eyebrows, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more intense.
Just like what Elder Aiwen said just now, I am afraid that the fourth prince and his gang must have been too surprised to keep their mouths shut, or they were simply out of breath, right?
After all, this is the second time that I have cheated under their noses, but the first time our soldiers were disguised as the enemy, which is the opposite of this time.
"The most important thing is that as long as I continue to destroy the surrounding illusion interference magic towers, the illusion will continue to work until the opponent finds a new way to crack it."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, thinking in his heart.
Of course, all of this is due to illusionists such as Xiao Huan.
However, with Xiao Huan's current ability, it is naturally impossible to confuse the entire Lancaster Legion while transforming several phantom legions.
So according to his own order, Xiao Huan just used illusion to disguise this Lancaster army, and transformed into a fake Lancaster phantom army to replace the opponent.
As for Ersha, Xiaoya, and Mia, they respectively confuse the commander of this legion, transformed into a fake Stone, and confuse the other party's liaison officer.
"According to what False Stone said, this is a special method deployed by him to let them mix into the camp of the Merchant Army and wait for an opportunity to launch a sudden attack. Therefore, although the front and back are the phantoms of the Merchant Army, this Lancaster Legion The others were not suspicious."
"In addition, the commander and the liaison officer have been confused by our side, and even blocked the other party's brain and ears. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with it."
"As for the illusion scroll thrown by the fourth brother, in fact, if you look carefully, you may be able to find some clues, but his attention was focused on distinguishing whether this legion really existed, and he didn't find that it had been replaced. A little bit of luck has blessed me."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao brought his thoughts back to reality.
Then again, although I hid all the besieged merchant army regiments extremely hard to identify.
However, the situation in which our five legions were encircled by heavy siege did not change in any way.
After being deflated twice in a row, the opponent was furious, and the next step would definitely be to use other killer moves.
In order to deal with the opponent's new method of exasperation, his next action must be divided into two parts.
The first is to see the tricks and dismantle them, and protect the safety of our besieged legions to the maximum extent.
The second is to find a way to successfully rendezvous the besieged army with other reinforcements.
Only by doing so can we maximize our morale and win the war in one go.
Conversely speaking, if the opponent annihilates our besieged legion at all costs, it will be very difficult for us to stand up again.
"In other words, the current overall battle situation in Fort Keil has fallen into anxiety."
"And the final success or failure will all fall on these besieged legions. Presumably, the opponents should soon invest in top-level combat power, right? That is the real moment to decide the outcome."
Lei Xiao's eyes were piercing, and he immediately nodded to the subordinates and elders beside him, and the group of people then disappeared into the darkness, disappearing in an instant.
...
"That despicable scum from another world, actually played us again and again, and used the same method!"
After carefully analyzing the ins and outs of the matter, the fourth prince's face showed a murderous intent, and said solemnly: "This prince doesn't want to entangle with that guy any longer, why don't we just send out top-level combat forces and kill these remnants and defeated generals in one go! "
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. If we forcefully move out, it will be in the opponent's arms."
Kent stroked his chest and saluted to the fourth prince, and suggested: "Anger will only blind our eyes, and will not help us win the war."
"What Sir Kent said is very true. This prince is a bit reckless."
The fourth prince quickly regained his composure, and asked Patriarch Yorkman: "Mr. Kent, are you sure that you can wipe out these unsightly remnants and defeated generals?"
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I have already said that just now, I have countless ways to easily destroy them."
Kent looked confident, first glanced at Stone, who was still gloomy, and then said with a smile: "Your Highness, let's see what I will do next, no matter how many phantom legions created by the despicable alien dregs this time, Those remnants and defeated generals will definitely die!"
