Chapter 473

The familiar reminder sound soon rang in Lei Xiao's ears.

[Congratulations, your "Level 4 Cloak: Cloak of Invisibility" has been upgraded to "Level 5 Cloak: Cloak of Tranquility"! 】

[Congratulations, your "Level 4 Cloak: Invisibility Cloak" has been upgraded to 100 pieces of "Level 4 Cloak: Invisibility Cloak"! 】

[Congratulations, your "Level 4 Cloak: Cloak of Invisibility" has been upgraded to "Level 5 Cloak: Cloak of Tranquility"! 】

"Have you obtained 100 invisibility cloaks and 2 brand new Tier 5 Tranquil Cloaks?"

Lei Xiao heard this calmly, and opened the property bar of the new cloak.

[Name: Cloak of Tranquility]

[Grade: Tier 5 Extraordinary (Silver)]

[Defense Strength: None]

[Additional effect 1: fifth-level invisibility technique "can hide the figure after wearing it, and also has the effect of concealing aura, effective for powerhouses of the fifth level and below"]

[Additional Effect 2: Tranquility "increases the wearer's resistance to detection-type enchantments, and increases the possibility of not being discovered by detection-type enchantments"]

[Remarks: This is a magical cloak from a certain mysterious race. It was made by a fifth-level peak illusionist. It can hide your body shape in any environment, and the cloak is made of extremely rare magic insulating fabric. Can additionally increase the wearer's resistance to detection enchantments. 】

"Good guy, not only has the enchanted invisibility technique increased by a level, it can also be effective on fifth-level powerhouses, but also has a new special effect?"

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and secretly exclaimed in his heart.

Lei Xiao is naturally no stranger to the detection barrier described by the new effect.

The "Pupil of Insight" that has been functioning normally in the territory belongs to this type, and its function is to break or weaken any camouflage effect of stealth or illusion.

"Once this kind of detection enchantment detects something abnormal, it will immediately and automatically send out double alarms of sound and light to remind the surrounding soldiers to take precautions. It is undoubtedly the absolute nemesis of invisibility cloaks and illusion cloaks."

Lei Xiao nodded to signal his subordinates to prepare to go, while continuing to think.

In addition, the detection magic enchantment also has extremely high concealment, and it is almost difficult to be discovered, which makes it even more difficult to guard against.

However, even if the effect of detecting the enchantment is excellent, building the magic enchantment itself is an extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive task. It also requires a large number of magicians to maintain the operation day and night, which directly determines Only in extremely important places can such a powerful enchantment be covered.

Therefore, as long as you don't get close to some important places where enchantments may appear, and usually equip invisibility cloaks and illusion cloaks, naturally there will be no problems.

"According to Zhu Sha, who built the barrier, the "Pupil of Insight" barrier in the territory is a more mysterious type, and its function is higher than that of ordinary insight barriers. "

"In theory, it can sense various camouflage effects up to the fifth level at most, but in practice, it is directly related to the amount of magic power supplied."

"For example, if a second-tier elite magician squadron supplies energy to the "Pupil of Insight" enchantment, it can basically perceive the fourth-tier camouflage effect. "

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao shrugged slightly again.

"Of course, since the "Pupil of Insight" enchantment in the territory is directly supplied with magic power by the three miraculous buildings, the maximum detection effect has already been achieved. "

"In addition to this, there are many factors that affect the detection ability of the enchantment, such as the intruder's own mastery of the stealth skills, whether there is any interference from the turbulent flow of magic power, and even the weather."

"All in all, these two brand-new cloaks of the fifth level, in addition to daily operations, undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for the high-intensity secret infiltration operations that I may encounter in the future!"

Overjoyed, Lei Xiao looked at the subordinates and Ariel who were ready to go, and said with a faint smile, "Let's go, target, the border battlefield area!"

After all, Lei Xiao patted Bai Wei's furry snow-white head while lowering his body.

Hearing a low howl of a wolf, Lei Xiao and the mount under his crotch turned into a phantom and disappeared at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

At the same time, the sound of "whoosh whoosh" sounded.

The subordinates of the main force also did not hesitate, and followed closely behind Lei Xiao in a flash.

"This nasty guy has quite nimble legs and feet."

Seeing that the surrounding area was suddenly empty, Ariel snorted softly and frowned involuntarily.

Just now when Lei Xiao and his subordinates left, the bitter wind just blows her drooping hair to the top of her head.

While arranging her messy hair, Ariel nodded to Bert and Jubai beside her.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of pale golden magic wings stretched out from Ariel's slender and slender back.

As the light golden magic wings vibrated, the cold fifth princess, surrounded by Burt and Orange White, turned into a meteor and flew away at a high speed.

Accompanied by a group of people traveling fast, after about half an hour, the undulating green hills came into Lei Xiao's eyes.

Noticing the increasingly clear mountain peaks in front of him, Lei Xiao nodded slightly as he pressed his body against the wolf's back.

There is a mixed area of ​​mountains and hills. When I went to the border battlefield for the first time, I had seen it before.

This undoubtedly means that he is already very close to the border between Lengyan and Shengye.

"I remember that when I came here last time, I had just been promoted to the second level, and the strong people around me were only Tiger Zhang, Ye Cang, and Zhao Yan, Nan Xing, and Nan Yue who were still at the third level. "

Lei Xiao looked at the lofty mountains in front of him, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

"And now, not only has my own strength reached the peak of Tier 3, but the number of subordinates around me has also increased significantly."

Lei Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, while he was clutching the thick long hair on the neck of the giant white wolf under his crotch, he looked to the left and right.

Surrounding him, there are already two fifth-level powerhouses, Hu Zhang and Hong Ye.

Adding the two kingdom generals, there are as many as six Tier 4 powerhouses, and the rest are at the peak of Tier 3.

"Thinking about it now, everything on the battlefield at that time was really thrilling."

While Lei Xiao was sighing, a hint of curiosity appeared on his face.

"By the way, I don't know how the Baron Yes, the female knight Kara, and Ao Feng are doing?"

"This time, I stood on the opposite side of them. After all, the Lengyan army is at a disadvantage now. If they meet me again, it can only be considered that they are unlucky."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly.

"My lord, we will arrive at our destination soon."

Only listening to the rough voice of the knotweed, it was transmitted through the words, asking for instructions: "What should I do next?"

"As usual, first find a place with a wide view and observe the situation of the two warring parties."

Lei Xiao didn't hesitate, and immediately responded.

After a while, the group of chasing wind and electricity stopped at the top of a towering mountain according to Lei Xiao's instructions.

"Let's rest here for a while."

Lei Xiao easily rolled over and got off the wolf. While moving his slightly stiff body, he said to the sassy female knight beside him, "Lin, let me tell you about the latest battle report you have learned."

"Return, Lord City Master, the situation is like this."

Seeing that Ariel was also approaching, Lin regained her composure and replied solemnly: "Last time, since the Leng Yan Army turned from a big victory to a big defeat at the beginning, the Holy Night Army wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but was defeated by Leng Yan." The army's mountain fortress blocked it..."

Through Lin's detailed description, Lei Xiao understood.

At that time, because of his own intervention as the last straw, after helping the Holy Night Army to crush the Lengyan Army, the Lengyan Army, which was completely defeated, retreated to the border town of Shanbao Fortress.

This is a large fortress built on the mountain. Its geographical location is very similar to that of Luolong City under the Baibu Mountain Range. It is located at the pass between two peaks.

However, compared to the flat terrain of Luolong City, the surrounding area of ​​the mountain fortress is obviously much steeper, it can be said to be extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In addition, on the mountains on the left and right sides of the mountain fortress, there are two small fortresses built on the mountainside, which form the horns of the mountain fortress.

This deployment further strengthened the fortress of the mountain fortress.

It is conceivable that once one of the forts is attacked by the enemy, the other two will provide support from different directions, which will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of siege by several levels.

"At that time, taking advantage of the high morale of the victory, the Holy Night Army wiped out the retreating rear troops of the Lengyan Army, and then violently attacked one of the small fortresses, preparing for a classic siege to attack the fortress in one fell swoop. fortress."

I saw Lin brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ears first, and then said: "As a result, the other two fortresses, including the Fortress Fortress, were closed behind closed doors, and there was no trick at all. After the siege for a day and a night without any results, the army retreated angrily."

"At that time, there was not a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides. It was indeed the best choice for the Holy Night Army to retreat with the fruits of victory."

Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and said, "If the stalemate continues, until the Lengyan Army in the other two fortresses waits for work and regains their vitality, the outcome will be decided."

"What the city lord said is very true."

Lin nodded in agreement, and said: "After this, the two sides have been living in peace for a while, and the number of troops and strong men in the border area is also continuously replenished..."

Through Lin's subsequent description, Lei Xiao learned more about it.

In the following period of time, the soldiers deployed by both sides in the border area soon reached the scale before the battle, all around 30,000.

However, the reinforcements on the Holy Night's side continued to increase significantly, until they reached 80,000 people.

With such a huge base, the number of powerhouses above Tier 3 is naturally much higher than that of Leng Yan.

Therefore, the strength gap between the two sides is by no means as simple as three to eight.

"Under such circumstances, the Lengyan Army, which is at an absolute disadvantage, once again retreated to the three fortresses centered on the mountain fortress. No matter how the Holy Night Army harassed them, they could not hold on until now."

Lin Sa's angry yet weak words reached Lei Xiao's ears again.

"Originally, our reinforcements here should arrive soon."

Ariel's fair face was gloomy, she bit her red lips tightly and said, "According to the law of Lengyan, when the kingdom is in a major crisis, every noble city lord under the protection of the royal family is obliged to send troops to reinforce it!"

"The premise is under the protection of the royal family."

Lei Xiao shrugged, looked straight into Ariel's starry eyes and said, "Now that the capital is in chaos, how can I have the time to focus on this matter?"

"Your City Master is right. Emergency conscription orders have already been distributed in various places."

Lin nodded to Lei Xiao, and added: "But since the nearby cities have already been conscripted, some have even been conscripted twice in a row, and when it was the turn of other cities farther away, they were all recruited in different ways. There are some reasons to shirk, and he has been standing still, with a high-hanging posture..."

"Under this kind of mutual comparison, and because of the battle for the throne, the majesty and deterrence of the current royal family have dropped significantly. Presumably this is the main reason for the current crisis situation."

The burly Burt sighed heavily, shook his head helplessly and said, "It is indeed a wise choice to preserve one's own strength first, and then wait for an opportunity. After all, these cities are far away, so you can wait and see what happens before making any plans. "

"But if the situation continues like this, I'm afraid things will get worse."

I saw that the orange-white delicate face was also full of worry, and then added: "The other party will never give us time to breathe."

"The current Lengyan cities are a mess. If these 30,000 soldiers are eaten by the opponent, I am afraid that the Holy Night Army will soon destroy the other cities one by one."

Looking at Ariel's pale face, Lei Xiao calmly said, "At that time, let alone the eastern region of Lengyan, I am afraid that the entire Lengyan Kingdom will be on the verge of collapse."

"impossible!"

Ariel shook her head, clenched her fists and said, "The commander here is one of my father's most valued generals, and among the generals of the eight kingdoms, Bai Lao, the fortress general recognized as the top three in strength, the fortress he is stationing , but has never been captured by the enemy!"

"Your Highness, although that is what I said, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Given the large gap between the strength of the army and the number of strong men, it is better for us to make plans as soon as possible."

Under Lei Xiao's subtle gesture, Ju Bai took a step forward, and said with a frown.

"Ju Bai is right, Your Royal Highness, I know the strength of Bai Lao the most, but today is different from the past..."

Bert's old face was also full of dignity, and he echoed.

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

The reason why I hinted that the two generals of the kingdom told everything was naturally to prepare for subduing Ariel.

Only by making Princess Lengyan, who grew up in the palace greenhouse, fully aware of the seriousness of the situation, can she grow rapidly and strengthen her determination to raise her arms and shout out in the future.

Otherwise, even if a cowardly and incompetent princess is helped to the high position of queen by herself, she will not be able to govern a kingdom well.

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, plumes of thick black smoke suddenly floated up from the foot of the mountain.
