Chapter 970

Before you know it, the bright moon is in the sky, and the night has come.

But the smoke and flames constantly rising from Fort Kell still obscured the sky, as if the whole city was burning under the dark night.

The bloody gunpowder smoke infects the moonlight, and the roar of the soldiers never stops.

This fortress city, which claims to never fall, is setting off one tragic and bloody storm after another in the city.

Lei Xiao stood on the top platform of a magic tower in the outer city, condescendingly looking down at the city reddened by flames and blood, and slowly took a deep breath.

I saw that in the criss-crossing blocks in front of me, deadly cold light and magic power were shining everywhere.

The eyes of our soldiers were not afraid of death, and they stepped over the corpses and flames one after another, and swung their sharp blades at the defensive line formed by the opposing soldiers.

The sound of battle roars and cursing mixed with screams and fierce weapon collisions came in an endless stream, and sometimes there could be the sound of buildings collapsing.

The stalemate between the enemy and us is still going on.

Under the full resistance of more than 20 enemy corps, our 12 reinforcement corps' offensive, which was originally overwhelming, seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, advancing more slowly.

And the other 10 besieged legions that have been reduced by more than half of our side, after their morale was boosted, although they fought back and forth with other enemy legions, our exhausted soldiers were under the enemy's desperate defense. Still can't stand out.

In other words, although our side has formed a situation of encirclement on the surface, sandwiching the enemy's 28 legions in the middle, it is obviously not an easy task to completely eat the opponent.

After all, whether it was the Merchant Army Corps commanded by Lei Xiao, or the Lancaster Corps, Yorkman Corps, and Fallen Noble Corps under the command of the Fourth Prince, all commanders and soldiers knew it clearly.

This is a final battle for the throne, the winner will have everything, and the loser will never recover.

"My lord, the other party is much more tenacious than imagined."

Ariel, who had just returned from the frontline of the battlefield to boost her morale, said solemnly to Lei Xiao while wiping off the sweat that oozed from her forehead.

Her fair face was blackened by the flames of war, but her starry eyes remained unwavering. This pampered youngest princess of the royal family has been honed in the flames of war to become even more graceful.

"The strength of the Lancaster family and the Yorkman family is already unrivalled, and coupled with the overall command of the other party, the strength is indeed much stronger than the opponents we met before."

Lei Xiao took out a magic handkerchief, wiped away the dark spots on Ariel's cheeks by the moonlight, and said with a smile: "Judging from the current situation, the stalemate is bound to continue, so we have to find another way to be able to get rid of it as quickly as possible." The scale of victory must be lifted at a high speed, otherwise the situation will only get worse."

"My lord, do you mean to take the opportunity to capture the magic towers in the outer city and welcome our upcoming 10 Fort Ferro reinforcements?"

Ariel blinked her starry eyes, and her delicate face that hadn't been wiped off was like a cat, with a suddenly enlightened look.

"Exactly, we have successfully captured the 6 outermost magic towers in the outer city, including the one we are standing on now."

Lei Xiao wiped off the last smear of darkness on Ariel's face, and immediately curled his lips and said, "As for the other 30 magic towers, almost all of them are within the range of the opponent's 28 troops. An easy thing."

"What the lord said is very true. The other party will never hand over these magic towers easily."

Ariel clenched the wand in her hand, nodded to Lei Xiao and said, "But as long as the energy supply of one magic tower is reduced, the soldiers who are coming outside our city will have more power to break the absolute defense." The hope of enchantment!"

"That's right, but that's not what worries me the most at the moment."

Lei Xiao frowned, nodded to Ariel, and said, "We solved the dimensional storm and then rushed to help here, it will definitely make the fourth child and the other two wealthy family heads very angry, they will never sit still and watch Look at us going smoothly."

"My lord, do you mean that the fourth son and the other two wealthy family heads will end in person?"

Ariel immediately reacted, and her eyebrows were also tightly knit together.

The fourth prince's own strength is a mystery, and he has an unknown number of fifth-level alchemy puppets, each of which is comparable to a real fifth-level powerhouse.

As for Leng Yan's three giants, Stone and Kent are both at the peak level of the fourth-order, and they still have hidden cards that can compete with the fifth-order powerhouse. They are extremely difficult to deal with.

In addition, the fifth-order mysterious necromancer who once made a move was still dormant in the dark and did not show up again.

This undoubtedly means that once the opponent makes a sudden move, it will definitely cause great trouble to our side.

"If nothing else happens, Old Four, Stone, and Kent have secretly arrived in this outer city area, and they are secretly planning something."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, confirming Ariel's question.

Because of this, after the initial overwhelming momentum, Lei Xiao recalled Jiang Li and other three fifth-tier powerhouses, as well as some of the main powerhouses, in case of emergencies, and did not put all the important combat power into the battlefield .

It's just that while directing the overall situation, I took turns with Ariel to go to the front line to boost morale surrounded by the main powerhouses, and took down these lonely magic towers by the way.

"My lord, how will the fourth class act?"

Ariel frowned and thought for a moment, then asked: "Could they come directly at us?"

Ariel clearly understands that only by figuring out the enemy's next move can she plan ahead to the greatest extent so as not to be caught off guard.

"Never, they will definitely attack our weakest force."

Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and while paying close attention to the dynamics on the battlefield, he responded decisively.

"The weakest force?"

Ariel leaned on her chin with one hand and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Their primary attack target is our 10 legions that are still trapped in the encirclement?"

"Our soldiers there are less than [-], and all of them are extremely exhausted. The answer is naturally obvious."

Lei Xiao nodded, and replied affirmatively: "Only by annihilating our exhausted army there can the opponent turn their swords and wholeheartedly deal with the 12 legions we rushed to help from the central city."

"What the lord said is very true. Although the situation of the two breadwinners at this stage squeezes the opponent in the middle, the dangerous situation of our besieged legion has not changed."

Ariel frowned and nodded, and then a trace of worry surged up: "So, isn't the besieged merchant army still on the brink of destruction?"

After speaking, the worry on Ariel's fair face became more intense.

So far, the situation is self-evident.

Once our force is completely annihilated and the rescue fails, the morale of the other 12 legions on our side will definitely be severely damaged.

On the other hand, the morale of the opponent will be boosted, and the initiative on the battlefield will undoubtedly fall into the hands of the opponent again.

At that time, as long as the opponent attacks with all their strength, it will be difficult for our side to have a chance to stand up again.

In short, the besieged merchant army must be kept, otherwise our side will be defeated.

Thinking of this in her heart, Ariel, who was at the top of the tower with Lei Xiao, felt that the night wind blowing in front of her was even colder, and shivered involuntarily.

"It is because of these besieged Shanglu soldiers who resisted desperately and bought us precious time that we were able to resolve the crisis of the dimension storm and regain control of the initiative on the battlefield. In other words, it was they who sacrificed their blood and lives protected us."

Looking at Ariel's nervous expression, Lei Xiao looked solemnly at the former, nodded and said: "This time, it's our turn to protect them, as their leader, I will never let They were destroyed by the enemy."

"My lord, so you have made corresponding arrangements?"

Ariel's starry eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked.

"That's right, although it can't be called impenetrable, it's enough to make the opponent's conspiracy not easy to succeed."

Lei Xiao took a deep breath slowly, and his eyes became more solemn: "As for how the next battle will develop, it's up to me and the fourth brother to see each other. After all, the specific strength hidden by the other party is still unclear. It is the biggest variable in this war."

"As expected of the lord, every time he thinks ahead of his subordinates."

Hearing Lei Xiao's calm and powerful words, Ariel's nervous mood calmed down even though the fierce shouts and screams were still ringing in her ears.

I saw her bright star eyes moving, looking down at this fortress city that was sinking in blood and fire.

Wherever she looked, there was a blazing scarlet, and there were nearly 50 soldiers from both sides, fighting in every street below.

And the success or failure of this battle will depend entirely on the lord around her.

In other words, the lord standing beside her undoubtedly has the power to rule the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers!

Just as Ariel's heart was surging.

Just as Lei Xiao expected, the fourth prince and his group took advantage of the darkness to appear at the center of the battlefield, near our besieged army.

I saw that the once towering and bustling neighborhood here was almost completely razed to the ground by magic artillery fire and range attack spells, leaving only a pile of dilapidated walls and ruins, still emitting scorching smoke.

And on this battlefield full of corpses, curly swords, broken arrow clusters, and broken bricks and rubble, our besieged soldiers are relying on a huge magic fortress, slowly advancing under the command of their respective commanders, There was a fierce confrontation with the enemy's legion.

Pairs of eyes hidden inside the battle helmet, although full of exhaustion, also shone with the brilliance of hope.

All the Shanglu soldiers who were besieged understood clearly.

Your Excellency Ke Qing and His Royal Highness the Princess bravely overcome all difficulties and lead the robes of the central city to come to support, so no matter what, they must not fall down here!

"This group of extremely stubborn Shanglu soldiers, if they hadn't been here to delay time, this prince would have defeated that hateful despicable scum from another world."

The fourth prince, who was hiding in the shadows, looked coldly at our soldiers who were fighting bloody battles, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's just tens of thousands of remnant soldiers defeated, let this prince completely end your humble lives Bar."

After the fourth prince finished speaking, he turned his head slowly, and said with a sly smile to the two wealthy patriarchs beside him: "Mr. Stone, Mr. Kent, have those arrangements been made properly?"

"Your Highness, don't worry."

Stone lightly stroked his gray beard, his old hostile face was full of murderous intent, nodded and said: "This time, even the gods came, and they couldn't save these stubbornly resisting Shanglu remnants and defeated generals!"

"That's right, in the deadlock created by us, the Yorkman family and the Lancaster family, eliminating these dregs is a piece of cake."

Kent smiled coldly, and echoed with a serious face: "Besides, with the participation of these powerful trump cards under His Highness's command, the servants can't find a reason to fail!"

As Kent spoke, he looked around.

Among the broken walls and ruins around the three of them, there were still several motionless wooden figures standing neatly, exuding a faintly vast and majestic aura.

"Then it's not too late, let's start."

The fourth prince snapped his fingers lightly, and his expression became more and more violent: "As long as these guys are eliminated, the victory will belong to us!"

As the voice of the fourth prince's murderous spirit fell, subtle changes immediately took place on the huge battlefield.

The enemy army, which had been fighting back and forth with our besieged army, began to collapse seemingly inadvertently, which made our offensive quickly make some breakthrough progress.

Seeing this, our already exhausted commanders and soldiers all brightened their eyes, as long as they can break through the encirclement, they can then join other reinforcements on the periphery.

Then, all difficulties will undoubtedly be solved!

"Seize the opponent's flaws and attack with all your strength!"

Almost at the same time, the besieged Shanglu commanders all chose to abandon the magic fortress and take advantage of the situation to break through. This is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to break through!

"The brave men of the Shanglu family, the enemy is at the end of their battles, smash their shields and step over their corpses!"

"Soldiers, the opportunity to repay Your Excellency Ke Qing and His Highness the Princess has come, and the victory will eventually belong to us!"

With a series of encouragement from the commanders, the morale of the besieged soldiers was immediately boosted, and they waved their sharp knives one after another, scrambling to rush to the opponent's defeated position.

It didn't take long for our besieged soldiers to overcome all obstacles and move forward for a long distance.

But before our soldiers had time to be happy, everyone was surprised to find out.

At some point, only they were left on the spacious block, and the enemy soldiers who were fighting and walking had long since disappeared without a trace.

For a while, the whole block was terribly silent. Although the shouts of killing could only be heard in the distance, the soldiers still looked at each other nervously, feeling a bone-chilling chill.
