Chapter 1180 Sudden Changes
Lei Xiao noticed further through the main magic projection screen in the command hall.
The giant fog-shrouded city on the opposite side is of an extremely impressive scale, almost as large as the Ice Stone City. The height of the city wall is at least 50 meters, which is enough to be the highest in the human world.
On the spacious city wall built of pure white boulders, there were densely packed enemy soldiers in golden armor everywhere. The armors were shining brightly, and all the unsheathed blades were flashing a dazzling cold light.
It is not difficult to judge from the golden battle flags depicting the shining holy light that these soldiers are from the Holy Knights who protect the Temple of Light.
"Your Highness, the enemy soldiers on this wall alone are no less than 10 legions. It seems that the enemy's defenders on the four walls alone must be at least 40 legions."
Catherine's starry eyes moved, also staring at the extremely clear magic projection in front of her, and blurted out: "As for how many enemy troops are still in the city, that is unknown."
"These appear to be just ordinary soldiers. Don't forget that the enemy also has the means to transform ordinary soldiers into black fog soldiers who are immune to all ordinary attacks, as well as metal giants."
Louise's face was full of disgust, and she frowned and said, "Those are the truly difficult opponents to deal with."
After Louise finished speaking, our generals who had seen the transformed soldiers in the Battle of Sunset Fortress all frowned.
At that time, even the most elite main force could not gain any advantage against the enemy.
"Don't forget that the mysterious being will not easily reveal such means, otherwise wouldn't it be equivalent to admitting that the Holy Temple of Light is the mastermind behind the Black Abyss Brotherhood?"
Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the neutral warriors who were silent on the side, and smiled: "In this case, I believe that other organizations that protect the human world will not stand idly by, right?"
Noticing Lei Xiao's gaze, those neutral strong men did not express their opinions, but continued to act as observers.
However, these people are not fools. After hearing what Cecilia and the others said just now, and the fact that Glowing City looks increasingly weird and unfamiliar, everyone is actually preparing for what is to come.
The generals who also heard Lei Xiao's words relaxed their heavy mood a little.
The Lord's meaning is clear as day. As long as the Temple of Light shows its true fangs, those neutral strongmen will naturally not stand idly by. This will undoubtedly be a great help to our side.
But the prerequisite is that we must try our best to force the opponent into a desperate situation.
After all, that mysterious existence has controlled the Temple of Light for a hundred years. The power of the Temple of Light alone is enough to make the entire human world tremble.
"Don't forget that we still have so many comrades who fight side by side with us. Most of the elite forces in the human world are concentrated here."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then nodded to everyone and said, "The decisive battle is about to begin. Let's go to the city wall and take a look in person."
After saying that, Lei Xiao walked out of the gloomy command hall surrounded by the crowd.
Passing through the streets filled with soldiers and various roadblocks, Lei Xiao and his party sped all the way and soon arrived at the towering walls of Bingshi City.
Since the distance between the two cities was only one or two kilometers, and the powerful people had excellent vision, they could see the Glowing City on the opposite side clearly.
Under the rolling black clouds, the entire Glowing City was completely shrouded in fog and shadows. Only the city walls at the edges were still clearly visible. It looked extremely mysterious, yet exuded an indescribable sense of oppression, as if it was filled with unknown darkness.
In addition, the entire Glowing City was flashing with rich magical light that appeared and disappeared from time to time, which was obviously a sign of an absolute defensive barrier.
"Old sir, how strong is the opponent's absolute defense barrier?"
Lei Xiao slowly withdrew his gaze and asked Bing Lao beside him.
"Your Excellency, if it was during the heyday of Ice Stone City, the opponent's absolute defense barrier would pale in comparison."
Bing Lao gently stroked his chin, carefully choosing his words, and said, "But from what we can see right now, the opponent's absolute defense barrier is probably slightly stronger than ours. Even if ten level six warriors attack with all their strength, it will be difficult to shake it even a little bit."
After hearing what Bing Lao said, everyone else frowned slightly.
You know, the absolute defense barrier is the key to the war. Once one side is broken first, it will undoubtedly fall into an extremely passive situation in an instant.
"Not expected."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, not too surprised, and said calmly: "The opponent's shield is indeed hard, but our spear is also sharp."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he looked around.
On the endless and spacious city walls, in addition to a large number of our soldiers who were ready for battle, there were also densely packed magic cannons neatly arranged.
Among them are not only the second-order magic cannons that we often use, but also a large number of third-order and even fourth-order magic cannons. There is no end in sight at a glance. It can be called a steel forest with black cannon bodies.
In addition, there are massive amounts of magic scrolls piled up on the city walls like small mountains. The combination of the two is enough to make our explosive power reach an extremely terrifying level in an instant.
Following Lei Xiao's gaze, our generals were naturally full of fighting spirit, and including Cecilia and others who had just arrived and the neutral strongmen, they all couldn't help but secretly smack their lips.
Although the Temple of Light is indeed unfathomable and enough to shake the entire human world, the background of this prince from another world is also extremely strong, which makes people have to look up to him.
In other words, at least from the current perspective, Lei Xiao does have the capital to compete with Glowing City.
But just as everyone began to look forward to the decisive battle that was about to begin, something strange happened.
Suddenly, golden light flashed around the Glowing City, and powerful energy waves vibrated out one after another.
Before anyone could react, accompanied by a series of loud rumbling noises, two large square fortresses rose from the ground and appeared on both sides of the front wall of Glowing City, forming a horn with each other.
After the two high-rise buildings of the fortress rose from the ground, countless summoned golden puppet soldiers emerged from the walls of the fortress, and soon filled the walls up, completely covering them with the brilliance of the absolute defense barrier.
In terms of scale, although these two fortresses are not as large as the Glowing City, each of them is comparable to national-level fortresses such as the Hill Fortress, and the number of soldiers summoned by each one is estimated to reach more than 10 legions.
For a moment, the two fortresses were like two guardian beasts guarding the Glowing City, emitting an unshakable aura.
Just as the opponent's fortress was rising from the ground, Lei Xiao immediately received the report.
It turned out that there were not just two fortresses surrounding the Glowing City, but one at each corner, for a total of four. However, due to the angle, the group could only see two from the front.
"This is... Could it be that the enemy has discovered us?!"
Seeing this sudden scene, there was a sudden commotion on the city wall. Not only did the soldiers clench their weapons, but many generals also drew their swords, looking unprepared.
"Don't panic, the other party hasn't discovered us."
After careful observation, Lei Xiao gently waved his hand and said, "This is just a defensive measure taken by the other party to be prepared for any eventuality."
"Your Highness is right. Otherwise, the enemy could have used the four fortresses to surround us when we attacked instead of deploying them first."
Catherine hesitated for a moment and agreed, "I'm afraid the other side has anticipated that we might launch an attack on Glowing City, so they are just taking precautions."
After hearing what Lei Xiao and Catherine said, the situation on the city wall quickly calmed down again.
However, despite relaxing a little, the expressions of our soldiers became more solemn.
With the support of four large fortresses, this undoubtedly means that the difficulty of our siege has increased a lot.
"On the other hand, the other party is afraid of our possible attack, so they take precautions in advance, right?"
Lei Xiao's calm voice echoed on the city wall and reached the ears of every soldier around him: "Don't forget that we are about to take the initiative. If we take the initiative, we will be able to catch the opponent off guard."
After saying that, Lei Xiao led all the generals to the conference room in the city gate tower and began to make new deployments.
The emergence of these large fortresses undoubtedly disrupted our initial plan to attack only one city wall with all our strength.
But from another perspective, this sudden change may not be a bad thing. After all, it is much better to suddenly rise up halfway through a fight.
"Although the enemy has four new fortresses, we only need to deal with two of them as we focus on attacking one wall."
Lei Xiao stood in front of the large magic sand table that Bing Lao had just condensed, nodded to the generals and said, "These new fortresses look indestructible, but in the end they are just temporary magical creations, and their sturdiness is far from comparable to that of real large fortresses."
At this point, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and continued, "On the premise that the main attack plan remains unchanged, these two fortresses on both sides must be destroyed as soon as possible."
"Your Highness is right. This way, we can attack the city wall with all our strength."
The new Green King Eckhart immediately agreed with Lei Xiao's point of view and echoed: "But I think that in order to ensure the advantage of preemptive strike, the frontal firepower of the main attack on the city wall must not be used. We must use other forces to deal with the two fortresses."
"That's right. Although we can quickly destroy a fortress by attacking it with all our firepower, we will also lose the advantage of taking the initiative."
Lei Xiao took over the conversation again and nodded, "Leave one of the fortresses to me. I will destroy it as soon as possible."
Upon hearing that Lei Xiao was going to destroy an entire fortress by himself, the generals present were not surprised at all. Instead, they all felt relieved.
If someone else was so arrogant, he would naturally be ridiculed by everyone.
However, it was already well known that Lei Xiao had challenged a group of fifth-level warriors alone and defeated 30 legions not long ago. He indeed had enough capital to say such words that were unimaginable to ordinary people.
"Then leave the other fortress to me!"
Louise was the second to stand up. She patted her rather tall chest and said, "I have further modified the magic engine of the "Fortress". The human prince also equipped the "Fortress" with a large number of powerful alchemical bombs, which are enough to easily blow the opponent up into the sky!"
Currently, the "Fortress" is staying in the Ice Stone City's own airport and can take off and fight at any time.
"Then it's settled."
Lei Xiao snapped his fingers lightly, then looked at Louise and said with concern: "Although the opponent's air defense capabilities are unknown, I'm afraid they will be extremely strong. We should be careful."
"Don't worry, the absolute defense barrier I cast cannot be broken easily."
Louise patted her chest again, her fighting spirit boiling, "Our feud with the Temple of Light should be completely settled in this war!"
After Louise finished speaking, Catherine nodded heavily.
"I look forward to your outstanding performance. The rest of you should still take your positions according to the planned battle plan and attack the walls of Glowing City with all your strength. As long as we can successfully break the opponent's absolute defense barrier, we will be halfway to success."
Lei Xiao looked at the kings and generals around him with a firm gaze, and said meaningfully: "This battle concerns the future of the entire human world and even the lives of countless humans. Please go all out and don't relax even a little bit."
"Please rest assured, Your Highness. We will do our best and will never let Your Highness down!"
The monarchs, generals and strong men from the four countries present all touched their chests and saluted, and their morale was extremely high.
"Very good, history will surely remember this moment, and everyone present will become the protector and hero of the human world!"
Lei Xiao pulled out the gleaming Rolandel, held it high in his hand and said, "Fight for the future of the human world!"
"Fight for the future of the human world!"
Everyone made the same move, making the whole scene even more lively.
After seeing this scene, even those neutral strong men were infected by the atmosphere and cast respectful glances towards Lei Xiao.
Just when everyone on our side was ready for battle and was about to start the war, on the other side of the city wall of Glowing City, there was a completely different scene.
Gustav was seen patrolling the city wall leisurely, followed by several generals of the Knights Templar and the red-robed bishop.
"The four fortresses are well deployed."
Gustav nodded to the enemy generals and said with approval, "I will report the truth to the Supreme Lord."
"Thank you for your recognition, His Excellency the Chief Cardinal!"
A fat middle-aged bishop in a red robe immediately stepped forward and said with a big smile, "We are just doing our best under your guidance. It's all your credit."
"I appreciate your honesty."
After hearing the other party's flattery, Gustav looked quite pleased and ordered: "Let all the soldiers be alert and not slack off for a moment."
"But sir, are we being a little too nervous?"
The fat bishop's face was full of contempt, and he said with disdain: "How could that despicable scum from another world be so powerful? I'm afraid he is crying and acting like a spoiled child in the arms of the Cold Flame Queen right now?"
"That's right. Even if we give that despicable alien a hundred courages, he wouldn't dare to get close to here. This is the main hall of our Holy Temple of Light. That alien would be scared to pee his pants just by looking at it, right?"
All the enemy generals laughed wildly, obviously not taking Lei Xiao seriously.
But as the hostile generals laughed more and more unscrupulously, another majestic blue city that was no less large than the Glowing City had emerged out of thin air and stood in front of all of them.
