Chapter 1595: Moving Forward and Before the Meeting
Under the watchful eyes of a group of Broken Wing soldiers in gray colorful armor at the city gate, Lei Xiao and his party successfully entered the giant city where the Throne Corridor headquarters was located.
According to the information provided by Lila and others, this huge city is called Overlooking City, which means that the Broken Winged King is high above and overlooks the entire territory of second-rate forces. His ambition and arrogance are self-evident.
Walking on the spacious street where magical street lights were shining, Lei Xiao noticed further.
There were towering magic towers and rows of barracks on both sides of the road. There were no ordinary people's buildings, nor too many flowers, plants and trees. Everywhere you looked, you could see well-equipped Broken Wing soldiers patrolling in unison, making the sound of uniform footsteps.
Therefore, it would be more accurate to say that this is a fortress rather than a city.
"According to the information I have obtained, there are 10 fifth-level legions of the Broken Wing Clan stationed in this Overlooking City alone. This has greatly exceeded the combat power and foundation of ordinary second-rate forces, not to mention the capital and other fortresses of the Broken Wing Clan."
Lei Xiao continued to move forward while calmly examining the surrounding environment.
At present, even if there are fifteen second-rate forces on his side, he can only gather 45 fifth-level legions at most. Together with his own ancient cavalry and alchemical puppet legions, a total of 50 fifth-level legions.
On the other hand, due to the rapid growth of strength and the possession of massive resources in recent years, the Broken Wing Clan alone has 20 fifth-level legions, and the number of fifth-level legions under the command of minions such as the Giant Horned King is also around 10. The total number may reach 100 fifth-level legions.
This does not include reserve forces such as the fourth-level legion, otherwise the gap will widen further.
Under this power comparison, we obviously have no advantage in confronting the opponent head-on. Therefore, the best way is to take the initiative as planned before. It would be best if we can seize the opportunity to take down the opponent during the meeting and capture the king first.
As long as we can make the leaders like the Broken Wing King surrender, then we just need to defeat them one by one.
"But the problem is that it's not just the strength of the soldiers that is different, the number of top warriors on the other side is also different. This can be seen from the configuration of the giant horned king's warriors just now."
"Among the second-rate forces that stand with us, the Stone Giants and the Half-Titans have three Half-Step Seventh Rank warriors, which is already the limit. Forces that have been severely damaged, such as the Moon Shadow Deer People, currently have only one or two. The same is true for the Wasteland Murlocs. There is only one Half-Step Seventh Rank warrior left, the Old Murloc King."
Lei Xiao frowned slightly inside his helmet and continued to think.
On the other hand, the opponent's top combat power is at least twice that of ours, or even more, not to mention the powerful winged people that the old fishman king once mentioned.
After all, the Winged People are a genuine first-class force, standing at the top of all races for many years. Their unfathomable foundation is probably so great that even the entire second-rate forces combined cannot contend with it, and there are countless powerful people of all kinds.
From this, it can be confirmed that the strength of these powerful winged people who have come into contact with the Broken Wing King is definitely not too bad.
"Apart from the obvious gap in combat power, this is the enemy's home ground. The various defense measures and traps must be extremely complete, which further increases the difficulty of the operation."
Lei Xiao felt the vast magical fluctuations emanating from all over the city, and his brows furrowed even more.
It has to be said that even though they have made the greatest efforts and preparations, it is still not an easy task to take down this behemoth. It can even be said to be extremely difficult.
"Also, although this sky island is not small in size, it can only accommodate this huge city. The Ice Stone City cannot be teleported up here, otherwise we would be able to gain some military advantage in a short period of time."
"Then again, since my Ice Stone City cannot be teleported up, then other God-favored Lands cannot be teleported up either, provided that the other party also possesses a God-favored Land."
Lei Xiao's brain was working at a very fast speed, constantly weighing the strength difference between the enemy and us and other factors.
After all, our biggest advantage at the moment is that we have not yet stood on the stage to confront the opponent. Taking this as an opportunity, we may have a chance to turn the tide.
After all, everything is still unclear and there are still many variables.
Just as Lei Xiao was thinking of this, a golden castle located in the center of the giant city came into view.
Under the illumination of the two moons and the surrounding magical light balls, the entire castle exudes a dazzling glow and looks extremely eye-catching.
"Is this the headquarters of the Throne Corridor? It really attracts attention."
Lei Xiao looked at the giant building in front of him that looked like a golden mountain, and then his gaze fell on the magic towers that were also standing around it.
It has to be said that the defense measures here are indeed extremely tight, comparable to the capital of any second-rate force.
Arriving near the heavily guarded castle, the group and other teams once again went through a series of careful inspections. Not to mention the leaders of the major clans who came out with empty hands, even the weapons of the guards were all removed.
Lei Xiao took off the giant sword on his back and handed it to the Broken Wing guard beside him. There was no change in his expression. This was naturally not his equipment. As long as the storage space was still there, everything would be fine.
"Moli is a girl who really has some tricks up her sleeve."
Lei Xiao walked through the last detection magic circle that emitted strong magical fluctuations, and went straight into the magnificent castle hall with Lila and her group.
Everywhere you look, you can see a scene of magical crystal and magnificence.
It is no exaggeration to say that compared with the scenes in Yueying Luren’s dream, the level of luxury here is even better.
"The Moon Shadow Deer People wouldn't dare to think this way even in their dreams. It must be said that the foundation can really limit the imagination of a clan."
Lei Xiao walked on the shiny golden floor, feeling the luxurious atmosphere everywhere.
The walls of the hall were inlaid with golden patterns and sapphire crystals, and were almost all engraved with pictures of people worshipping the king. From the figure sitting firmly on the throne with wings stretched out behind him, it could be seen that it was the Broken Winged King.
Not only that, even the ordinary Broken Wing soldiers in the picture have a much higher status than other forces, and all stand on the platform that symbolizes status and power.
“It’s exactly the same as the scene along the way.”
Lei Xiao looked at the arrogant castle guards around him, and then set his gaze on Lila and other clan leaders.
Although all the monarchs had calm expressions, their eyes, filled with the vicissitudes of life, sometimes showed flashes of anxiety and tension, even those forces that stood on our side.
This undoubtedly shows that even though they have some support, people still don't have the slightest confidence in their hearts.
After all, the fact that the Broken Winged King destroyed the capital of the Frostfire Giants with ease and killed the Moon Shadow Deer People and other forces so that their corpses were everywhere was really too shocking.
Moreover, in recent years, although there has been no world-destroying war, the nightmare-like figure of King Broken Wings is always weighing on everyone's mind, constantly proving with the tyrant's will that those who disobey will have only destruction as their fate.
After passing through the luxurious castle hall, with their footsteps echoing in the spacious castle corridors, the group soon arrived at an extremely spacious meeting hall.
There are at least thousands of square meters here, and it is obvious that the means of space folding have been used. In the center of the venue, there is even a golden fountain that is constantly gushing out colorful waves.
In other places in the venue, conference tables and chairs were neatly arranged, on top of which were the emblems of various forces, representing the positions of each force.
Lila was obviously accustomed to these things and quickly found the place where the stone giant was and sat down, while guards such as Lei Xiao and Fei'er stood behind Lila.
Although Fei'er remained silent along the way, Lei Xiao could vaguely feel that this well-mannered Pelican Princess was also extremely disgusted with the Broken-Winged King, and she even snorted in disdain from time to time. This was obviously not a behavior a lady should make.
"It seems that even in the eyes of the ancient human race's eldest princess, the Broken Wing King's pomp and circumstance is a bit too exaggerated and arrogant."
Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and refocused his attention on the venue itself.
At this time, the teams of Hollis, Prince Chasing Shadow, Old Fishman King, Glenn and others also entered one after another and sat down in their respective seats, almost all of them were in the middle and back rows of the venue, just like himself.
In the front row of the venue, the Horned King and his minions were sitting, and they had already started enjoying the desserts and champagne on the table.
From the appearance and taste of the food, one can tell that it is made from extremely precious and rare ingredients.
"It really is a perfect interpretation of the fox taking advantage of the tiger's might."
Lei Xiao looked at the empty desks in the middle and back rows, and then his gaze fell on the young Frostfire Giant King.
Although he was also sitting in the front row, his location was in the most inconspicuous corner of the venue. Although there were desserts on the table, he did not touch them and just had a wooden and dazed expression.
"It's a pity that time is extremely limited, and it's hard to find an opportunity to communicate here. Otherwise, I really want to have a good chat with him. It shouldn't be difficult to win him over. I always feel that this young giant king is not as cowardly as he appears to be."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and his eyes continued to wander.
It didn't take long before the huge conference hall was filled to capacity.
"Everyone, wait a moment. Our great king will be here soon."
An old man from the Broken Wing Clan dressed in gorgeous robes walked out with a smile and nodded to the monarchs.
As the old man finished speaking, a huge golden throne appeared at the front of the venue. It was obviously the throne of the Broken Wing King.
Hearing that the Broken Wing King was about to appear, the whole venue fell silent. Even the minions of the Giant Horned King who were chewing delicious food in the front row quickly swallowed their food and sat upright.
In the huge conference hall, only the fountain in the center was still flowing, making a gurgling sound.
A dull and depressing atmosphere suddenly arose, and even the air seemed to become sticky.
"The master of the throne corridor, the conqueror of the second-rate forces, the supreme king of the Broken Wings, our great king has arrived!"
Along with a series of loud announcements, a figure dressed in golden armor and a fluttering blood-red cloak flashed by, and instantly sat on the glittering throne.
"So fast."
Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at the Broken Wing King who was sitting at the top.
The man looked to be in his early thirties, with an expressionless fair face that was handsome, and exuded an obvious superiority and undisguised arrogance.
This is not the most critical point. The other party's eagle eyes were slightly narrowed, looking down at the monarchs in the lower positions, as if he was looking down at a group of ants. It was extremely oppressive.
"It's quite interesting. It's even more powerful than what I saw in the magic portrait."
Lei Xiao looked at the other person's poker face which looked a little weird, and suddenly felt an indescribable sense of pressure coming over him.
I have come this far through many hardships and have met all kinds of monarchs and powerful people, but no matter whether it is the young new king or the old king who wields power, they are far inferior to the fierce aura exuded by this guy.
According to the information he had, this guy had only been on the throne of the Broken Wing Clan for more than twenty years, but he had already brought the Broken Wing Clan to the pinnacle of second-rate forces in one fell swoop. He was indeed extremely resourceful.
After all, for the powerful outsiders with long lifespans, just twenty years or so is just a passing cloud, which is completely different from the human world.
"Everyone, thank you for your hard work in coming all the way here."
An emotionless voice sounded, and King Broken Wing nodded slightly and said calmly: "Before we officially start the meeting, please take a look at these things."
After saying that, the Broken Wing King waved his hand slightly, and a team of Broken Wing maids carrying trays came out.
The tray was covered with a layer of black silk, and the items inside could not be seen, but Lei Xiao faintly smelled a hint of blood and could not help but frowned slightly.
At the conference hall, many monarchs and powerful men noticed something strange, but they held back and did not show it on their faces.
"Open it."
Following an order from King Broken Wings, the maids all lifted up the black silk, revealing the items inside.
All I saw were some charred black objects, scattered around, including fragments of leather armor, fragments of broken blades, and some other things. Combined with the breath just now, it was self-evident.
"These are all from a group of assassins who attempted to attack me not long ago. Unfortunately, this is their fate."
The Broken Winged King's eagle eyes were still slightly narrowed. He looked down at the monarchs and continued, "This is actually a group of dark elves with broken ears. Among them is a genuine demigod. Obviously, someone spent a lot of money..."
Before the Broken Wing King finished his words, a retching sound and the crash of a metal tray suddenly rang out. (End of this chapter)
