Chapter 1172 Current Situation and Confluence
Under the reflection of the magic light ball, Lei Xiao noticed.
In addition to the team he had just seen, there were many other teams in the same situation, rushing towards the same location.
I saw several groups of people, like a long dragon, leaving the ancient residential area from all over and finally gathering at the end of this huge underground area, as if some strange ritual was being performed.
At a glance, thousands of residents of the Kingdom of Grimm had dull eyes and were staggering towards the cave wall at the end, until they disappeared under the cave wall one by one.
However, because the crowd ahead was too dense and crowded everywhere, Lei Xiao, who had just arrived at the front of the team, was unable to figure out what was going on for a while.
"My Lord, I sense the fluctuations of the teleportation array!"
A solemn voice sounded beside Lei Xiao's ears, reporting: "They are using the teleportation array to move these residents to other places!"
"Wu, you mean the teleportation array for long distance travel, not the transfer array we just used when we got here?"
Lei Xiao frowned and asked immediately.
"That's right, Lord. I am extremely sensitive to various types of spells. Although I am not good at space spells, I still have no problem identifying them."
Wu Zhong nodded and responded, "This is completely different from the energy fluctuations of the transfer array just now."
As soon as Wu finished speaking, Xiao Zhao's urgent voice rang out again: "My Lord, there are priests from the Temple of Light mixed in with the crowd!"
As soon as Xiao Zhao finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd ahead. It was obvious that the enemy hiding in the crowd had noticed our presence.
Following the sound, Lei Xiao indeed discovered that a group of guys in holy priest robes were moving quickly among the crowd, trying to escape through the teleportation array at the end of the crowd.
"Don't let them get away!"
Lei Xiao waved his hand, and four fifth-level alchemical puppets instantly appeared, leading Wu and others to chase after them.
In the crowded crowd, although those white-robed priests were very fast and were definitely not ordinary people, we were obviously better.
Apart from Lei Xiao and the three stone elves, the fifth-level alchemical puppets were like dragonflies skimming the water, moving above the heads of the crowd as if they were walking on flat ground, and soon controlled the priests on the spot.
Seeing this, when Lei Xiao tried to check the teleportation arrays, he found that the arrays had disappeared long ago, leaving only a group of Grimm civilians with dull eyes, wandering back and forth under the mountain wall like headless flies.
"My Lord, the teleportation array has been completely shut down."
After looking around, Wu shook his head helplessly at Lei Xiao.
"Bring those guys over here."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and nodded to Wu.
Soon, several priests who were tightly tied with magic chains were brought in front of Lei Xiao.
These people’s faces were filled with hostility and ferocity. They twisted their bodies wildly, trying to break free from the restraints, while cursing constantly. Where was the kindness and compassion that usually appeared on their faces?
"Tell me, where are you going to send these residents?"
Lei Xiao approached the middle-aged pastor who was in the lead with an expressionless face, and looked down at the guy who was forced to the ground.
"Despicable aliens, don't be too happy too soon. These fools will become the bait of the "Divine Plan", and you will eventually become the bait too."
The middle-aged priest with a face full of hostility spat and said with a ferocious face: "The curtain of the "Divine Plan" has been opened. Your flesh and blood will become the ladder for the Supreme Lord to lead to a new order. In the abyss of death, watch with your own eyes as the human world turns into purgatory!"
After the middle-aged priest finished speaking, he and several other priests who were filled with hostility laughed sinisterly, and kept stirring back and forth in the empty and ancient underground area.
Amidst their unbridled laughter, a black aura suddenly spread around the bodies of these priests, and their skin actually began to swell slowly.
"No, they're going to blow themselves up!"
Xiao Jie exclaimed, stood in front of Lei Xiao, stretched out her slender fingers, and quickly drew several shining silver-white hexagrams in the air.
As the silver-white hexagram shone, several small translucent barriers appeared out of thin air above the heads of several priests whose bodies were becoming increasingly swollen, and instantly enveloped them completely.
boom! boom! boom!
A violent explosion was heard, and the inner walls of several small barriers were immediately covered with splashed bright red, which looked shocking.
However, because the barrier was extremely solid, the opponent's self-destruction did not affect them at all.
"My Lord, it seems that these priests are cursed just like the Brotherhood's strong men, and they are unable to reveal the truth about anything."
Wu retracted the energy barrier that was protecting Lei Xiao and said with a frown.
"I was too impatient and gave them the opportunity to self-destruct."
Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly, then looked at Xiao Jie and said, "Thanks to you this time."
"Your Excellency, what are you talking about? It is my honor to be able to protect you from the wind and rain."
Xiao Jie smiled embarrassedly, then obediently stood behind Lei Xiao.
"This is……?!"
Generals Grimm, including White, who arrived later, happened to see what had just happened and couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.
Generals such as White were no strangers to those priests who blew themselves up. They were all powerful men from the Temple of Light who were well-known in the royal capital. They were usually known for their integrity and humility, and they brought blessings to the residents of the royal capital.
But White and the others never expected that those powerful men from the Temple of Light who had been smiling all the time would actually show such ferocious and terrifying expressions as just now.
In their mouths, the residents of the kingdom were just like ants that could be easily stepped on and killed, not worth mentioning at all.
"Now you should understand everything, right?"
Lei Xiao's calm voice sounded, and he said lightly: "Who is the real enemy?"
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, White and other generals were trembling in their hearts. They knelt down in front of Lei Xiao and said with shame on their faces: "Your Highness, we were shortsighted before and almost put Your Highness in trouble. Please forgive us!"
If before this, White and others were not completely convinced by Lei Xiao, now these neutral generals of Grimm are completely loyal to Lei Xiao.
His Royal Highness the Prince of the Holy Lion from another world bears the cost of fighting against the entire human world, and he also goes against the light to expose the ugly true face of the Temple of Light. How great and noble is this?
It is precisely because of the appearance of His Royal Highness the Prince of the Holy Lion that the residents here did not all fall into the clutches of the devil and become the "bait" in the mouth of the other party!
"Everyone, get up. I hope you can tell the truth to every soldier who still has true light in his heart."
Lei Xiao nodded to the generals and his expression became more serious.
Although the middle-aged pastor did not reveal any important information just now, some useful information can still be inferred from his few words.
That is, the other party has indeed officially started the "Sacred Plan", and these residents who are called "bait" by the other party are probably just like what he thought, such as sacrifices.
"So everything is exactly as I just speculated?"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's expression became more solemn.
You know, apart from Thor and other summoned legions, there are 50 legions trapped here together with himself and his allies.
If the purpose of the other party trapping so many of our soldiers here is not to ambush them, but to make them "bait", then the situation would undoubtedly be extremely bad.
Lei Xiao had just thought of this in his mind when the ordinary Grimm residents around him, who were like zombies, fainted on the ground one after another, all unconscious.
"My Lord, it seems that the other party is controlling these residents from the other side of the teleportation array. Now that the teleportation array has been closed, the residents are naturally out of control like puppets with their strings cut."
Wu squatted down and checked for a moment, then saluted Lei Xiao and said, "From the current situation, the residents here are indeed in a situation exactly like what we encountered before. I believe they will regain their sanity soon."
"General White, I'll leave this to you to send someone to handle it. When the residents wake up, inform them of the truth as soon as possible."
As Lei Xiao thought so, he waved his hand and took out a pile of golden scrolls. He continued, "These are special group purification spell scrolls that can break the puppet imprints left by the opponent. Let your soldiers and residents use them."
These magic scrolls were made by Sophia some time ago, just for emergency situations when she is not present.
Although the number is relatively limited, after Lei Xiao's upgrade, it has naturally reached an extremely abundant level.
"As you command, Your Highness the Prince!"
White touched his chest and saluted, then immediately took action.
"Without further delay, we will immediately find a way to other places."
Looking at the white-haired veteran's departing back, Lei Xiao nodded to the three stone elves again.
After a group of people searched for a while, a giant ancient door that was almost the same as the one before soon appeared in front of Lei Xiao.
"Sir, leave it to me."
Xiao Jie flew forward and was about to remove the barrier on the door when she heard another "Huh?"
Looking at this familiar scene, Lei Xiao clenched his sword and immediately asked, "Xiao Jie, is there something wrong with the barrier again?"
"No, sir, this barrier is almost the same as before. It should be sealed by the same caster."
Xiao Jie turned her head and responded, "But I feel that someone is attacking frantically on the other side of the door, trying to forcibly break the barrier. I can even feel a violent energy filled with blood."
"Oh? Could it be Catherine and the others?"
Lei Xiao's dark eyes lit up, and he said, "Xiao Jie, the people on the other side are very likely our own people, but just in case, we should be careful."
After saying that, after making preparations, Lei Xiao ordered Xiao Jie to start breaking the barrier again.
Not long after, accompanied by a familiar wave of energy, the door slowly opened.
Sure enough, as soon as the door opened a crack, a petite figure flew out from the door, shouting and screaming, with a blood-red light emanating from her body.
The blood-red light reflected a fair and delicate face, which was none other than Louise with small fangs showing and a ferocious look on her face.
When she saw Lei Xiao's figure, the fierce look on her face disappeared and she returned to her harmless state.
"Human Prince, it's you!"
Louise came to Lei Xiao's side, put her hands on her waist and said to the air in the other corner: "I thought it was those hateful guys."
"As expected of Miss Louise, you can't hide this little trick from me."
Lei Xiao's figure emerged from the corner, while the "Lei Xiao" in the center slowly dissipated.
"It's just a small thing."
Louise raised her eyebrows and said with a grin, "Although your invisibility cloak is quite good and can easily hide it from a fifth-level warrior, I am at least a half-step sixth-level warrior!"
After Louise finished speaking, Catherine, Tiger Stick, Hong Ye, and Jiang Li followed and came in front of Lei Xiao one after another.
"Lord Lord!"
"Your Highness the Prince!"
Everyone looked relieved, as if they had found their backbone.
"The situation is urgent. Exchange information immediately."
After seeing that everyone was safe and sound, Lei Xiao did not exchange pleasantries, but went straight to the point and described his experience.
"So the other party sent the soldiers here not to divide our combat power, but to serve as sacrifices for their evil plan?"
Catherine clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, "These damn bastards will pay the price sooner or later!"
"No wonder we only found a lot of footprints of our soldiers in the area just now, but didn't see any trace of soldiers, nor any signs of fighting."
Jiang Xi frowned and said thoughtfully, "It seems that not long after the soldiers were transferred in, they were teleported to another place by the enemy."
"But our soldiers didn't have any sacred marks on their bodies. How did they get teleported away?"
Yuji had a puzzled look on his face and scratched his head.
"Don't forget that Gustav is a master of illusion. He must have a backup plan here."
Lei Xiao frowned, then turned his palm up, and an exquisite gray-white gem the size of a fist appeared in front of everyone.
Needless to say, this is exactly Xiao Huan in the form of [God's Stone].
Since Lei Xiao brought Wu Yu and Xiao Zhao with him, he naturally couldn't leave this funny guy behind.
As for the illusion formation in the Eversleeping Valley, Shirley once found time to reinforce it.
With the spell cast by the chief priest of the Phantom Clan, it would undoubtedly be easy to optimize Xiao Huan himself.
"My Lord, you finally remembered your subordinates."
Accompanied by a burst of misty fog rising up, the [God's Stone] in Lei Xiao's hand has turned into an elf floating in the air.
Xiao Huan flapped his transparent wings and circled around the huge door. He then frowned and reported, "My Lord, although the other party has concealed it very well, there is indeed a smell of a strange illusion array on the other side of the door!"
Hearing this, everyone's expressions became more solemn.
This undoubtedly means that the soldiers of our 50 legions have most likely become prey on the opponent's plan.
