Lord of the Nation: My talent is 100 million points strong

Chapter 1507: Turbulent Clouds and Trouble

Because the arrows launched by the soldiers defending the city came too suddenly, our strong men had no time to react. They could only watch as the arrows fell from the sky like a rainstorm and violently hit the wall of the barrier.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Accompanied by a series of dull sounds of arrows colliding with the barrier walls, coupled with the continuous bombardment of counterfeits such as "Chris" and "Fanny", our absolute protective barrier has already begun to crack and is in a shaky state.

You know, there are at least thousands of fourth-level city-defending soldiers gathered here, as well as many fifth- and sixth-level generals. Their overall combat power should not be underestimated.

For a moment, even Lei Xiao, Jasmine, and Xuan Ji, who were the main forces providing energy to the barrier, felt that a huge amount of magic power was being drained from their bodies. Their faces began to turn pale, and it goes without saying that the other powerful warriors who were accompanying them all had faces as pale as paper.

"You missed the target. The enemy is over there! Those guys are the fakes!"

Jasmine gritted her teeth and pointed at Chris and the others and spoke loudly, obviously thinking that the group of soldiers defending the city had chosen the wrong target.

However, all she got in response were the increasingly dense arrows and the twisted and hideous faces of the soldiers defending the city and Chris and the others.

Seeing this, just when Jasmine, who was still unwilling to give up, was about to speak again, she was stopped by Lei Xiao waving his hand.

"It's no use. We are their target."

Lei Xiao's forehead was covered with sweat, and he said to Jasmine, "Can we use space teleportation now? The most urgent thing is to leave this troubled place first."

"Leave it to me!"

Although her heart was still full of doubts, Jasmine still acted very quickly and nodded decisively.

The combat power of these people present has far exceeded the limit of what we can deal with. Not to mention the large number of sixth-level warriors and soldiers defending the city, there are also the counterfeit "Chris" and "Fanny" who have the aura of half a step to the seventh level. It is indeed not advisable to stay for long.

I saw her holding the staff tightly, and accompanied by a tongue-twisting chant, a gray light curtain rose up around us, and everyone disappeared in an instant.

Upon seeing this scene, "Chris" and the dwarf general in command looked at each other, both with an expected familiar look, and immediately began to search separately with murderous intent.

In a corner outside a warehouse behind the fortress's parade ground, the space was slightly distorted, which was not easily noticeable to the naked eye. This was the place where Lei Xiao and others were temporarily taking refuge.

Under the protection of Xiao Jing's "Lord's Silence", the group is currently in a spatial crack and does not have to worry about being discovered by the opponent in the short term.

"Human boy, what on earth is going on?"

Jasmine first put a recovery potion into her mouth, and then asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Could those soldiers defending the city have been bewitched by the God Stone General?"

"No, I'm afraid they are in the same group."

Lei Xiao frowned and shook his head, saying, "Don't forget that when we were on the city wall just now, those soldiers guarding the city were extremely tired, but when they turned around and attacked us, they didn't show any signs of fatigue at all."

"That being said, something is indeed very wrong. Those soldiers defending the city on the city wall were clearly panting, but the fierce rain of arrows just now could not have been launched by a tired army!"

Jasmine opened her eyes wide and said in disbelief, "But this doesn't make sense. Those soldiers defending the city just resisted the attack of Eclipse. How could they recover their energy in an instant?"

"In the final analysis, since we were teleported to this fortress, we have only heard the roar of the magic cannon and the shouts of killing, but have never seen the attack of "Eclipse" with our own eyes."

Lei Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied with a frown: "When we arrived at the city wall, everything was over."

"Yes, there was indeed no sign of an eclipse at that time."

Jasmine gently stroked her fair chin, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "And, just as you suspected at the time, if this fortress was already in danger, there is really no reason for Eclipse to suddenly give up the attack."

"Could it be that the so-called successful resistance to the attack of the Eclipse, as well as the scene of the exhausted soldiers lying on the ground, were all specially performed by the dwarf generals and the soldiers defending the city for us to see? In fact, there was no Eclipse army attacking the fortress at all?"

Jasmine became more and more frightened as she spoke, and she said in disbelief, "This can indeed explain why those soldiers guarding the city are suddenly full of energy again, because this is simply a show specially performed for us!"

When Lei Xiao and Jasmine said this, the other subordinates and strong men present immediately began to look at each other in bewilderment.

Your Lordship is right, this is indeed the most reasonable explanation, and it is truly terrifying when you think about it carefully.

The other party did this for only one purpose, and that is to do everything possible to kill us when we are lax!

"That's exactly what I wanted to say. Don't forget that the fortress is in danger. It was the one that the parasite General Shenshi told us about it."

Lei Xiao confirmed Jasmine's opinion and continued, "I'm afraid it was because the parasitic general and the soldiers guarding the city had discussed it in advance and created the corresponding sounds and chaotic energy fluctuations, which gave us the illusion that the "Eclipse" was attacking the fortress. This is also an important reason why I think those soldiers guarding the city and the imposters are actually in the same group."

"My Lord, you are right. No wonder that dwarf general looked unfamiliar to me. Over the past few days, I have gotten to know almost all the dwarf generals here."

Broy, who was also a dwarf, nodded heavily and agreed: "It seems that guy is also a fake!"

After saying that, a trace of fear emerged on Broy's resolute face again. Fortunately, the lord reacted quickly and did not let the other party succeed, otherwise he would probably be a corpse now.

"Their purpose in doing this is very simple, that is to disperse our forces, and they have indeed done it. Those imposters like "Chris" are definitely not disguised in a short period of time. This is probably part of their plan."

Lei Xiao took a deep breath and his eyes became more solemn.

Originally, he thought that the divine stone general Curry becoming a parasite was already an extremely bad situation, but he did not realize that this was only the tip of the iceberg of the other party's entire conspiracy.

"Although I guessed from the beginning that the other party intended to disperse our forces, I never thought that the soldiers defending the city and even the so-called "Eclipse" attack on the fortress were actually a carefully planned illusion by the other party."

Just as Lei Xiao was feeling awe-inspiring, teams of soldiers with ferocious faces searching for the city had already appeared near the warehouse outside the space gap. Leading the way were the counterfeits, which indirectly confirmed the group's speculation.

"Human boy, let's put aside the question of how those imposters were able to perfectly disguise themselves as Chris and the others. There is still a huge problem that cannot be explained."

Jasmine obviously noticed the scene outside, and subconsciously lowered her voice and said, "That is the premise for the other party to do this. They must have already taken control of the entire underground fortress. But how is this possible? When did the other party quietly capture this place?"

After hearing what Jasmine said, the other experts present all frowned tightly, feeling a chill rising in their hearts, and looked puzzled.

Through the contact with the old city lord and other generals defending the city in the past few days, everyone has learned that the defense of this underground fortress is extremely tight, even better than that of Guanwang City.

Not only are there several fourth-order dwarf legions and even more third-order legions, there are also many human soldiers who continuously patrol via the teleportation array of Watch City. There are even at least two God Stone generals who have been keeping a high level of alert in the fortress. What's more, there are a large number of alchemical puppets here that are not affected by the "Corrosion".

In this situation, even if Eclipse had extraordinary abilities, it would be almost impossible for him to capture this place without our knowledge and quietly replace all the soldiers.

“This is indeed a puzzling question.”

Lei Xiao interrupted everyone's thoughts and said, "But now is not the time to dwell on these things. We must reunite with the real Chris and others as soon as possible."

By checking the subordinate interface, Lei Xiao has discovered that the latest subordinates, Chris, Fanny, Hanershu and Bruno, are still alive, but due to interference, they are still unable to communicate using telepathy.

Therefore, reuniting with these subordinates became a top priority.

And the most crucial point is that since the enemy has already captured this place, the next target must be Guanwang City.

In other words, Guanwang City is now in a precarious state. If Guanwang City falls, then his mission will be a complete failure.

At that time, even if you try your best to escape the disaster, the reminder will definitely not teleport you back to the original place after failing the mission, and the outcome is obvious.

After hearing Lei Xiao's words, all the strong men regained their spirits and nodded heavily.

"Xuanji, use all your strength to strengthen Erza. We will use illusion to hide and search for Chris and the others, and observe the surrounding situation further."

Lei Xiao nodded to the tall stone elf that exuded a mature charm and gave instructions.

"As you command, Lord."

Xuan Ji and Erza saluted at the same time. Xiao Huan, who had not had a chance to show off recently, also looked ready to go.

After so many times of power stimulation, the strength of Xiao Huan and other fifth-level stone elves has further increased. Although they have not yet broken through to the sixth level, they are far from what they were at the beginning.

After everything was ready, as the slightly distorted space returned to normal, Lei Xiao and his group had disappeared without a trace.

With the help of camouflage illusion, the group began to move forward secretly in the fortress. After some observation, everyone noticed further.

This place has indeed been completely controlled by the enemy. In addition to the fully armed soldiers guarding the city and the impostors, there are also many parasites with crystal clusters all over their bodies who appear in various places to search in a swaggering manner. It is obvious that the enemy has completely exposed its cards.

In addition, there is one thing that makes everyone frown even more, that is, the entire fortress is shrouded in an absolute confinement barrier. It is undoubtedly impossible for us to leave the city quietly.

It didn't take long before Lei Xiao and his team quietly approached the fortress wall area where Chris, Fanny and others were heading, but they did not find any trace of the former.

"Human boy, could it be that they have been imprisoned by those possessed beings?"

Jasmine looked at a group of sixth-order parasites with hostile auras all around them gradually going away, and quietly asked Lei Xiao.

After hearing what Jasmine said, everyone else also looked worried.

"That's unlikely. The other party would never leave anyone alive. This means Chris and the others must have discovered something and are hiding somewhere."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, signaling Jasmine and the other experts to continue searching.

Hearing the sound, everyone didn't think about anything else. They kept alert to the surroundings and continued to look for clues.

Looking at the crowd searching carefully, Lei Xiao turned away and frowned slightly.

When I passed the teleportation array area of ​​the fortress training ground just now, I realized something extremely unusual.

That is, all the teleportation arrays in the training grounds have not been closed, and are still in normal operation, and are heavily guarded, with the auras of at least two half-step seventh-level strongmen.

This raises a puzzling question.

You know, before we came here through the teleportation array, many elite human soldiers had already come here to reinforce, but there was no sign of any fighting.

Could it be that all the soldiers who came from Guanwang City to support them have also become parasites? How is this possible?

As for after his group arrived here, since all their attention was focused on fighting against the so-called "Eclipse" army, they did not pay special attention to the teleportation array. However, they also saw the human soldiers continuing to reinforce. So why did these people also disappear in the fortress?

Moreover, Old Booker should have noticed that something was wrong with the fortress, and would have sent a large number of reinforcements. At the very least, he should have shut down the teleportation array to prevent the enemy from breaking through from the inside. Why was the teleportation array still functioning normally? There was no action in Guanwang City? Could it be that something was wrong with Guanwang City as well?

"Could it be that the old city lord has also been parasitized?"

Lei Xiao's brows furrowed even more, and his heart was in turmoil.

If this is the case, then it couldn't be worse. I can't even see any way out of the situation.

"In any case, since the teleportation array has not stopped running, let's find Chris and the others first, and then find a way to break through the defense and return to Guanwang City via the teleportation array."

Lei Xiao held Rolandel tightly and thought so in his heart. At the same time, beads of sweat appeared on Lei Xiao's forehead again.

I have to say that the current situation is too complicated.

Those parasites and "Eclipse", and even the "Guixu" who controlled everything from behind, seemed to have woven an invisible deadly net, making every step one took be as cautious as walking on thin ice, otherwise one would fall into the abyss if one slipped.

Just when Lei Xiao was feeling awe-inspiring, the sound of a sudden fight came to his ears from a distance.

"My Lord, it's Chris and the others! They are still holding on!"

Xiao Jing, who was exploring the way ahead, brightened her eyes and reported to Lei Xiao.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go and provide support!"

Just as Jasmine was ready to charge forward, Lei Xiao waved his hand to stop her. (End of this chapter)
