Chapter 679 The lord in the hall and the news sent back

"My lord, the matter is like this."

On the other side of the conversation, Nanyue took a deep breath and began to describe in detail.

Through Nanyue's description, Lei Xiao learned about it.

It turned out that the three infantry regiments of the Second Prince's forces arrived at the temporary camp where the Nightmare Knights retreated.

He didn't choose to set up camp like the white knight, and seize the time to recuperate.

Instead, the whole army marched directly towards Kongqing Town, coming in mighty force.

What is puzzling is that its marching route is very close to the temporary camp that the white knight converted from a village, almost touching the tip of the opponent's nose.

"Understood, continue to observe."

After listening to Nanyue's report, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

Lei Xiao just turned off the spoken word.

Ariel's nervous voice rang out immediately: "My lord, isn't the Nightmare Knight trying to join forces with the White Knight and deal with us first?"

"The chances of that are pretty much nil."

Looking at the huge sand table in front of him, Lei Xiao shook his head and said, "If the two of you really want to do this, it's impossible to put it on the bright side and make us take precautions."

"What the lord said is very true."

Burt gently stroked his short gray beard, his old and resolute face was full of awe, and echoed: "The two princes are in the same situation, and the threat on the surface of the territory is minimal. May choose to cooperate."

"Senior Burt is right. Fortunately, the lord is far-sighted. From the very beginning, he has not shown the truth and hidden most of the power of the territory perfectly. Otherwise, this possibility cannot be ruled out."

Orange Bai rubbed his fair chin lightly, and said with frowned eyebrows: "Furthermore, as the lord said, if the two really choose to cooperate, there is no need to join forces, just like the two of the king's mad crab It's like a crab's claws, just choose to attack from both sides, forcing the territory and Kongqing Town to be unable to look at each other end to end."

"So that's how it is."

Ariel's starry eyes flickered, and she nodded thoughtfully, with a look of enlightenment on her fair cheeks.

But immediately, Ariel blinked her slender eyelashes again, and asked quite nervously: "So, the Nightmare Knight is going to lead an army to attack Kongqing Town alone?"

"If the Nightmare Knight's target is really Kongqing Town, there is no need to pass by the White Knight's camp."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and responded, "I think the other party must be drunk."

"Subordinates understand, my lord, what do you mean to say that the Nightmare Knight's attack on Kongqing Town was fake, but in fact they deliberately sold a loophole to attract the White Knights to lead the army to attack?"

Ariel's starry eyes lit up, and she suddenly understood.

"That's right."

Lei Xiao nodded without hesitation, and responded, "This is the only way to explain why Nightmare Knight did what he did."

"My lord's analysis is very reasonable."

Burt's old face was full of approval, and he added: "Presumably, the Nightmare Knight must have been fully prepared to use this strategy."

"But judging from yesterday's battlefield situation, Nightmare Knight doesn't seem to have the upper hand in the match against White Knight."

Ariel folded her arms, and said with a frown: "And the white knight is a fifth-level powerhouse who is very good at charging, and exposing this kind of town-level powerhouse with an infantry regiment, isn't this suicide? ?”

"Her Royal Highness's analysis is not unreasonable. From this point of view, it is indeed a bit abrupt for the Nightmare Knight to act like this."

Ju Bai also frowned tightly, and nodded thoughtfully.

But only for a moment, Ju Bai seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "So it is like this!"

"Ju Bai, what you think in your heart must be that Nightmare Knight deliberately concealed part of his strength in yesterday's game, right?"

Looking at the suddenly enlightened appearance of the Queen's General, Lei Xiao said with a faint smile.

"Lord Master, that's exactly the case."

Ju Bai stroked her chest with one hand and gave a salute, her brows were still frowning tightly on her fair face.

Then he responded: "While watching the battle yesterday, my subordinates felt that something was wrong. Although the Nightmare Knight fought back and forth with the White Knight and seized the initiative on the battlefield several times, I always felt that the Nightmare Knight was a bit slack."

"Whether it's the undead Titans, one of the trump cards, were completely defeated by the white knights, or the new noble soldiers who were trapped in the siege, the Nightmare Knights didn't seem to care."

When Ju Bai said this, Liu Mei almost twisted into a ball of thread, and concluded: "In general, the head-to-head confrontation between Nightmare Knight and White Knight yesterday was not so much a match as a test. , in order to find out the details of the White Knight."

"It turned out to be like this..."

Holding the steaming black teacup, Ariel said in disbelief, "But in terms of the final result, the White Knight won. Isn't the Nightmare Knight not worth the candle?"

"Your Highness, the situation is not as simple as you imagined."

Burt's old face was full of solemnity, and he said slowly: "Although the Nightmare Knight retreated in the end, he perfectly achieved his strategic goal."

"Has it perfectly achieved its strategic goal?"

Ariel frowned and pondered for a moment, then said with a puzzled face: "Apart from finding out the depth of the White Knight, what purpose has the Nightmare Knight achieved?"

"Old General Burt wants to talk about cavalry, right?"

Lei Xiao looked away slowly from the sand table in front of him, and said, "Before this war started, one of the advantages of the White Knights was the 30,000 cavalry."

"But after Xiaoya's illusion disguise and yesterday's battle, the 30,000 cavalry has dropped sharply, and they no longer pose an absolute threat to the Nightmare Knight."

Lei Xiao's eyes were piercing, and he continued: "In addition to finding out the details of the White Knight, this is another important purpose of Nightmare Knight's match yesterday."

"I understand everything! Thinking about it carefully, the white knight really won miserably."

Looking at Lei Xiao's shining black eyes, Ariel nodded in reverence and said: "So, compared to the traditional nobles led by the White Knight, the Nightmare Knight is more threatening Some."

"That's exactly what happened."

Lei Xiao refocused his gaze on the sand table in front of him, smiled helplessly and said, "At the beginning, I thought that the commander of the Second Prince's faction was just a general of the kingdom, but I didn't expect to kill him." Such a dead guy."

"Your lord is right, this is indeed extremely unexpected."

Tangerine Bailiu lowered her eyebrows, and shook her head helplessly, saying, "The Nightmare Knight is a fifth-level senior expert, and there are quite a few white knights whose strength is already higher than that of the fifth-level three-star."

"Furthermore, the dominant cavalry army under the White Knight's command has been defeated, but the Nightmare Knight's longbowmen army is still the main force."

In the orange-white star eyes, there was another sense of certainty, and he concluded: "Thus, the advantages on paper of both sides have been completely reversed."

"So that's the case. In addition, the lord has already said that Jinwen will no longer be our enemy. So, is the nightmare knight's threat to the territory now greater than that of the white knight?"

Looking at Jubai's sassy and awe-inspiring cheeks, Ariel fixed her willow eyebrows, nodded her head and said: "It seems that the focus of our defense should be shifted from the White Knight to the Nightmare Knight. "

"Not only that, I always feel that the mysterious organization behind that Nightmare Knight is very likely. Even if it is not, then the mysterious organization that has been silent recently has to be guarded against."

Lei Xiao stared closely at the situation of the enemy and us on the sand table, and said thoughtfully: "From this, based on the analysis of the current situation, we should really focus on the Nightmare Knight."

"My lord's thinking is correct."

An old and steady voice sounded, Burt followed Lei Xiao's line of sight, observed carefully on the sand table, and echoed: "However, that white knight is by no means an ordinary person."

"To be honest, my lord, although my subordinates have fought side by side with him many times, I have never seen an opponent really push him to a dead end, even in yesterday's battlefield."

Burt's tone became more serious, and he continued: "So the white knight must have some kind of good cards, and the threat must not be underestimated."

"In addition, if the mysterious organization behind the scenes intervenes again, there may be more than two fifth-tier powerhouses in the two opposing camps."

Ariel's slightly nervous crisp voice rang out again: "I didn't expect this intensified power dispute, and the combat power invested by all parties is really getting more and more terrifying."

Hearing what Ariel said, the expressions of the subordinates couldn't help but become awe-inspiring.

If the opponent's fifth-tier powerhouse really exceeds the two, then our advantage of the fifth-tier powerhouse will undoubtedly be completely wiped out.

Even if it is Wu Wu who can pretend to be another powerful fifth-level expert of the Lengyan royal family, once the opponent dispatches more than two fifth-level experts, it is probably unknown whether he can deter the opponent.

"Although that's what I said, as long as the two don't unite, we still have a chance."

Sensing the depressing atmosphere in the castle hall, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "Everyone, don't worry, just like I said before, the opponent wants to put us to death easily, I'm afraid they are thinking too much."

After Lei Xiao finished speaking, a touch of excitement appeared on the faces of all the subordinates.

That's right, as long as you follow the lord's side, you will have nothing to fear!

While being excited, Ariel lowered her eyebrows and pondered for a while, then asked: "My lord, since the Nightmare Knight is going to lure the snake out of the cave and attract the White Knight to attack, how do you think the White Knight will react?"

"Judging from the previous records of the White Knight, his resourcefulness is by no means ordinary. Even if he didn't see the Nightmare Knight's temptation and weakness in the first place after yesterday's battle, he will definitely react to it later."

Looking at Ariel's puzzled face, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, smiled and said without hesitation: "Therefore, the White Knight will naturally not be easily baited, or it will use some kind of countermeasure to make the The Nightmare Knight's trick has failed."

"Furthermore, even though Jin Wen promised not to attack the territory, he never said that he would not attack the Nightmare Knight."

Lei Xiao's smile grew stronger, and he continued: "Thus, the Nightmare Knight may not only fail to succeed, but also suffer a lot. After all, bait is still needed to lure the snake out of the hole. If the snake is not caught, it will naturally be thrown away for nothing. bait."

"My lord is right."

Ariel nodded thoughtfully, and said thoughtfully: "It really makes people wonder what kind of means the White Knight will use."

"Don't worry, since the Nightmare Knight chose to deal with the White Knight first again, let's just sit in the room and wait for a good show. It won't be long before new information will come."

Lei Xiao still maintained a faint smile, casually took the hot tea handed by the maid, took a sip, and then said.

Sure enough, it didn't take long.

Nanyue's rustling crisp voice, mixed with fierce shouts of killing, came from the reading: "My lord, the vanguard of the new noble force led by the Nightmare Knight is passing by the White Knight's camp. At that time, they were attacked by the cavalry led by the white knight! The two sides are currently fighting!"

"It seems that the vanguard is the bait for the Nightmare Knight."

Lei Xiao swayed the fragrant hot tea in the white porcelain cup, and said with a faint smile.

Half an hour later, Nan Xing's crisp voice came again.

"My lord, after the white knights wiped out all the leading troops with the force of thunder, they have been completely cut off by the infantry army of the nightmare knights."

"However, what is strange is that the white knight and the cavalry troops under his command quickly passed through the heavy siege of the nightmare knights with minimal losses, and returned to the camp with strong defenses. This subordinate will go and check , What kind of means did the White Knight use?"

After a few cups of tea, Nan Xing's suddenly enlightened voice sounded.

"My lord, my subordinates have found out. It turns out that on the way the white knight must pass back to the camp, many magic traps have been arranged in advance and covered up with illusion."

"The encirclement of the Nightmare Knights seems to be impeccable, but in fact, quite a few soldiers have already fallen into the magic trap and fell into the sand. It's just that Jin Wen used illusion to fill it up. The White Knight escaped from this gap. surrounded."

After Nan Xing finished speaking~lightnovelpub.net~ Lei Xiao and the others in the lobby all looked at each other and smiled, continuing to wait for the battle report.

When the afterglow of the setting sun began to rain down on the ground, Lei Xiao got the final result of the battle.

After the White Knight successfully broke through the encirclement with ease, the distraught Nightmare Knight began to use the strength of the longbowmen who had an absolute advantage in numbers to forcibly attack the White Knight's camp.

As a result, more magic traps and ordinary traps that had already been dug were detonated, and in the end they had to return angrily, leaving behind thousands of corpses.

Presumably for the sake of caution, the white knight did not go out to pursue, but allowed the opponent to withdraw from the battlefield.

"Okay, the next thing we need to pay attention to is the location of the Nightmare Knight's camp."

When Lei Xiao said this, his eyes became serious again: "If I don't expect it, the real battle will officially kick off tonight."

After listening to Lei Xiao's words, all the commanders and main subordinates in the hall showed awe-inspiring expressions on their faces.
