Lord of the People: My Talent is 100 Million Points Strong

Chapter 495 The brief tranquility in front of the fortress

After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao thought for a moment and did not directly deploy the action. Instead, he took a step forward and came to the elderly general's side again. He asked, "Old General Bai, what do you think of the current battlefield situation?"

"Your Excellency, judging from the current situation, the old red devil will not give up easily."

Nodding slightly to Lei Xiao, Mr. Bai gently stroked his gray beard and continued: "Based on my understanding of that guy, his character is cautious and cunning, and he will never take the risk of advancing lightly. An uncertain battle.

At this stage, with the loss of three legions, especially two long-range legions, the opponent's advantage is no longer there. It can be seen that since the opponent has not retreated yet, it means that it must have a strong trump card. "

"Is that true?"

Nodding in thought, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and continued: "It seems that one of the trump cards in the opponent's hand must be the missing part."

"Your Excellency is right. After the first round of the fortress attack and defense just now, the aura around the battlefield has become extremely chaotic and cannot be sensed at all. In addition, the surrounding mountains have only aggravated this."

Shaking his head helplessly, Bai Lao Shenhe frowned and said, "I have already sent out all the useful scout troops, but I still got nothing."

After a pause, Bai Lao added: "You know, although the terrain in this area is extremely complex, it is my Leng Yan territory after all.

Before that, I had sent my trusted followers to visit the hunters and farmers in all the surrounding villages and towns, and drew up an extremely detailed topographic map, including various remote mountain paths and animal trails, all of which were already known to my scouts. It stands to reason that it is absolutely impossible for the other party to escape our eyes. "

"If that's the case, then things are very strange."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao's face suddenly showed a look of confusion and said: "When we have an absolute advantage in geography, how can the opponent's army-level movement of ten thousand people not stay behind?" Any traces? Not noticed by us at all?"

At this moment, the confusion on Lei Xiao's face became more and more obvious, just like what Bai Lao said.

At this stage, even the subordinates who were cloaked outside had not noticed any clues at all.

Especially Bai Wei, who has an extremely sensitive sense of smell, and Nanxing Nanyue sisters, who are good at tracking and have just gone out to investigate again, also found nothing.

"Are you talking about the missing eighth legion?"

On the other side, Ariel moved lightly and walked over and said, "Is it possible that the enemy has already withdrawn that unit? Or is it just used as a suspect to confuse us?"

"Your Highness, the possibility of this is almost zero."

Shaking his head slightly, Mr. Bai still frowned and said, "Just like what Your Excellency Ke Qing said just now, the large-scale mobilization of an army of ten thousand people will not go unnoticed by us no matter what."

"Is it possible that...the enemy used large-scale teleportation magic?"

Dai Mei frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, then Ariel asked again.

"Back to Princess, there is no such possibility."

Shaking his head again, Bai Lao responded: "As far as I know, Leng Yan, the strongest fourth-level space magician, can only accurately teleport a few squadrons of soldiers at a time, and the distance is relatively limited, and Holy Night Kingdom The space system experts are also very similar.

Furthermore, this kind of large-scale teleportation spell consumes extremely much magic power. If there is really such a powerful person in the Holy Night Army, wouldn't it be enough to directly teleport the soldiers into the mountain fortress? Why bother? "

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

Before that, he had asked Jiang Li, who was once a fifth-level peak space mage, about teleporting soldiers.

It is evident from the fact that even with Jiang Li's majestic and vast magic power, it was impossible to achieve legion-level space teleportation.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao added: "Old General Bai is right. Then again, even if the other party really uses teleportation magic to teleport the soldiers to our vicinity instantly, it will definitely cause our side to attack. If you notice it, it’s impossible to completely lose the trace.”

"That makes sense... As for all members carrying stealth equipment, it is even more impossible. Firstly, this equipment is expensive and impossible to install in large quantities. Secondly, even if it is installed in large quantities, it will disappear visually. , but you can always detect some clues from the traces, sounds and breaths."

Nodding in thought, Ariel's delicate face suddenly showed a trace of confusion: "Could it be that the other party's army really disappeared out of thin air?"

"That's naturally impossible."

Taking a deep breath, Lei Xiao, who was also full of questions, responded: "In short, as Old General Bai and I analyzed just now, this must be some kind of conspiracy of the other party."

"Then what should we do now?"

Hearing this, Ariel's eyebrows almost twisted into twists and she spoke again.

"Two points of response measures, the first is to continue to increase detection measures in the surrounding area, and the second is to be prepared and to remain unchanged in the face of changes."

At this moment, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the Holy Night Army that had gathered the retreating soldiers under the fortress.

"What Your Excellency, Guest Minister, is absolutely true. I will go and notify Bert and the other two fortresses right now, asking them not to relax for a moment and to be ready to deal with the enemy's unknown tricks at any time."

After Bai Lao said this, he nodded to Lei Xiao, bowed slightly to Ariel, then turned around to greet several Leng Yan commanders on standby, and left quickly together.

"Sir, how should we act now?"

A rough voice sounded, and Huzhang took a step forward, bowing slightly to Lei Xiao.

"As I said just now, the top priority now is to find out the movements of the opponent's missing legion as soon as possible."

After thinking for a moment, Lei Xiao immediately responded: "As for the last step of taking advantage of the plan, it is not yet time to implement it. After all, when the situation is not fully grasped, it is obviously not a good idea to disperse the combat power to sneak attack on the enemy's rear. Wise choice."

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao first opened his mouth and connected with other subordinates around him in turn, and then quietly arranged: "Huzhang, you and Ye Cang, Chao Yan, and Lin, and Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Bai Wei, and A are outside." The six of them, Ling and A Bing, continue to track the traces of the disappeared legion."

"Although we don't have any clues at the moment, we can imagine that the enemy's target must be one of these three fortresses."

Having said this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and added: "Therefore, the nine of you are divided into three groups, focusing on investigation around the three fortresses. As for Hong Ye, just stay with me and obey my orders."

"As you command! Sir!"

Hearing the sound, the tiger stick in front of him and all the subordinates bowed to accept the order, and then his figure flashed and disappeared from the place. At the same time, a neat response came from the other end of the words.

Gu Ren

After arranging all this, Lei Xiao, who was standing on the towering fortress, moved his dark eyes upwards and fixed his gaze on the bright twin moons in mid-air, frowning slightly again.

At present, the enemy's elite long-range forces have been defeated and have completely lost their firepower advantage over our own side.

However, in this case, the opponent still did not choose to retreat.

It can be seen that the opponent is obviously confident in the trump card in his hand.

"That hidden army won't fall from the sky, right?"

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but curled his lips slightly and thought to himself: "Furthermore, the other party must have more than this trump card. So, how will the other party act?"

"The battlefield is so quiet now, just like the brief calm before the storm."

Not far away, Ariel, dressed in a smart outfit, walked over and asked Lei Xiao, "What tricks do you think the Holy Night Army will use next?"

At this time, Ariel couldn't help but have some indescribable meaning in her eyes as she looked at Lei Xiao.

Only after the excitement of repelling the Holy Night Army had passed did she realize it clearly.

The calm-looking young man in front of him had once again saved countless Lengyan people behind the fortress and the royal soldiers on the city walls from being ravaged by the war.

Otherwise, under the fierce offensive of the enemy's two long-range legions just now, I am afraid that this mountain fortress will be crumbling again.

With such an action, it would not be an exaggeration to call him Leng Yan's hero.

The most important thing is that the other party is just a guy who came from another world, but he has done many things that the royal family and nobles who are supposed to be responsible for protecting Leng Yan cannot do...

This point simply puts Ariel, who is also part of the Cold Flame royal family, to shame.

At this moment, although Ariel didn't want to admit it, everything Lei Xiao did really shocked and touched her.

"It's a trick, I can't guess, but the opponent's target is naturally these three fortresses."

On the other side, Lei Xiao slowly withdrew his gaze and responded: "Moreover, this mountain fortress has the most complete defense. From this, the situation is self-evident."

"Are you saying that the opponent's next target is likely to be two other small fortresses halfway up the mountain?"

Hearing this, Ariel regained her composure, and a look of sudden realization suddenly appeared on her delicate face, and she said: "Those two small fortresses, although they have the same strength as here, are after all temporarily composed of garrison troops from various places. , the combat power is much weaker.

The number of magic cannons is even less. In addition, the city wall is only less than ten meters high, making it easier for the enemy to capture it. "

At this point, Ariel's eyes lit up and she continued: "However, the terrain is the biggest advantage of the two small fortresses, and it can also make up for these disadvantages to a considerable extent."

"Yes, if the enemy really chooses to attack those two small fortresses, then there will definitely be countermeasures. Therefore, we cannot be careless in the slightest."

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao looked far away, finally landing on a small fortress on the mountainside, and responded.

Needless to say, this mountain fortress was able to block the footsteps of the 80,000 Holy Night Army before.

Undoubtedly because there are two other small fortresses on the left and right sides. The three are like horns to each other and can work together to contain the enemy's forces.

And if a fortress is captured by the enemy, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to losing an arm, which will greatly reduce the defensive capabilities of the mountain fortress.

Therefore, whether it is the mountain fortress itself or the small fortress next to it, both are naturally indispensable.

"Countermeasures? If you have to climb up bit by bit, can the other party fall from the sky?"

Hearing this, Ariel followed Lei Xiao's gaze and looked at the small fortress, thinking thoughtfully.

Currently, the small fortress the two of them are looking at is located on the left hand side, built next to a dense forest.

The one on the right is surrounded by an extremely empty space and seems to be easier to defend and harder to attack.

On the other side, when he heard the same thought as his just now coming from Ariel's mouth, Lei Xiao couldn't help but smile and said again: "Then let's wait and see."

After a pause, Lei Xiao continued: "Now the arrival of dawn is no longer far away, and dawn will undoubtedly further reduce the opponent's advantage. Presumably the opponent will start to take action soon."

Sure enough, Lei Xiao's words had just finished.

The two Holy Night Legions, who were originally at the foot of the mountain, each defending a small fortress, began to move and slowly approached the two small fortresses.

The other two legions that had been at the rear began to press forward at the same time, rushing towards the mountain fortress.

"What's happening here?!"

Looking at the Holy Night Army attacking from three sides, Ariel's fair face suddenly showed a trace of confusion, and she exclaimed in surprise: "Is the enemy planning to attack our three fortresses at the same time?!"

"Of course this is impossible."

Waving his hand slightly, indicating that Ariel didn't need to be nervous, Lei Xiao responded: "If I predict correctly, Duofa's real main attack direction is just one of the three fortresses, and the other two are just to contain me. Party strength."

After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the four Holy Night Army legions moving mightily under the fortress, and said again: "The enemy's trump card has been prepared."

"Then which one is the opponent going to attack? The dense forest fortress on our left, or the open area fortress on our right? Or this mountain fortress?!"

Hearing this, Ariel swallowed involuntarily and murmured to herself: "Also, where will the opponent's disappearing army appear again?!"

Not long after Ariel finished speaking, the two enemy legions in front of the mountain fortress and the other two legions had already arrived at the city.

"It seems that the answer will be revealed soon."

At this time, Lei Xiao took a deep breath of the air that was filled with the smell of blood and strong murderous intent, and slowly spoke.
