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

Chapter 26 Under the Cold Moon
The night wind is bleak, and insects are singing and katydids are jumping.

Lei Xiao stood motionless on a thick tree trunk, with one hand holding the trunk of the tree, and the other resting on the falling moon blade at his waist.

Next to Lei Xiao, stood a huge knotweed stick. The latter used his body to protect Lei Xiao, and a faint invisible energy was attached to his body, completely concealing the aura of the two of them.

As for Nanxing and Nanyue, they were respectively lurking in other surrounding trees, responsible for peripheral security, and silently eliminated any monsters that might appear around them at any time to ensure Lei Xiao's safety.

"My lord, they are coming."

Not long after, the deep voice of the knotweed rang in Lei Xiao's ear.

Lei Xiao nodded, and found that the leaves and branches in front of him suddenly began to tremble.

This is the result of the earth shaking.

dong dong dong.

Not long after, the dull and strange sound like the thunder of a war drum, from far to near, first trembled in Lei Xiao's heart.

Listening to the soul-stirring rhythm, Lei Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that it was the sound of heavy and uniform footsteps.

At the same time that Lei Xiao suddenly realized, dense figures began to appear in the distance on a beast road naturally formed by the long-term trampling of monsters.

Noticing the strangeness in the distance, the condescending Lei Xiao concentrated his mind, leaned forward slightly, and narrowed his eyes.

Due to the night vision function of [Blessing of the Southern Cross], Lei Xiao quickly had a panoramic view of this sudden army.

Accompanied by the mixed sound of crisp and sharp armor collision and heavy footsteps.

The first to appear were rows of heavy infantry with neat steps.

These burliest soldiers wore black heavy armor, a fully enclosed black helmet, a large shield in one hand, and a short knife in the other.

Under the cold moon, the broad blade of the blade reflected a cold light from time to time, which made people's eyes hurt.

Behind the heavy infantry were light armored infantry holding spears.

Reflected by the moonlight, the thin shadows of metal spears were projected on the ground, complementing each other with the tall and strong soldiers, which made people suddenly awe-inspiring.

Further back, there are archers also wearing light armor.

Although this part of the soldiers was protected in the middle of the entire team.

But the extremely sharp arrows in his quiver did not make people doubt at all that they were the most terrifying force in the entire team.

For a moment, this army was like a deadly python coming out of its hole at night, silent, but exuding a huge sense of oppression, as if it could instantly crush everything in front of it.

"Is this the real army from another world? It's so exciting."

Looking at the cold light constantly reflected from each piece of mottled armor, Lei Xiao's goose bumps all over his body.

While a chill rose from the bottom of his heart, Lei Xiao felt more of an uncontrollable excitement.

"I don't know when I will be able to command an army of this size?"

At this moment, Lei Xiao couldn't help but think of that classic Caesar quote.

This kind of man's romance made Lei Xiao look forward to the future of himself and the territory.

"My lord, the commander of this army is about to appear."

Just when Lei Xiao's heart was shaking, Hu Zhang bowed slightly and reminded him softly.

Nodding to the knotweed, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath and continued to observe.

To be able to command such an impressive force, the commander must be by no means an ordinary person, or the word "dangerous" is more appropriate.

Sure enough, a more powerful phalanx appeared behind the archers.

There were about five or sixty soldiers in this group, all of whom were wearing special brown heavy armor, surrounded by a man in a black robe with a hood on a horse.

"My lord, according to my subordinates' speculation, the man in black robe is the commander of this army. It can be confirmed now that he is a strong third-tier magician."

"Those soldiers in brown armor are the commander's personal guards, and they are all at the second-tier level. As for the total number of this army, it is 2500."

Hu Zhang nodded respectfully to Lei Xiao, and reported in a low voice.

"Understood, let me take a good look at what the other party wants to do so far at night."

Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, focused his gaze on the black-robed man, and began to look him up and down.

The opponent's whole body was covered in a black hood, appearing extremely mysterious.

After the commander's formation of the Chinese army passed by, the rear army was still a mixed formation composed of archers, pikemen and heavy infantry.

In the end, this huge and imposing team stopped neatly beside a large open space in the middle of the forest.

This position was just tens of meters directly below Lei Xiao, so Lei Xiao could clearly observe the opponent's every move.

I saw that under the command of the man in black's gesture, the army quickly began to change formation.

Still in the order of heavy infantry, pikemen, and archers, they surrounded the empty space and began to slowly shrink inward, as if something invisible was trapped in the middle.

"What are they going to do? Do they really want to open the mysterious enchantment area?"

A hint of curiosity appeared in Lei Xiao's eyes, and he continued to watch intently.

Through the communication with his subordinates, Lei Xiao clearly understood that the barrier area of ​​this different world, to put it bluntly, is an independent special space, and there is something special in it.

Only high-level space magic powerhouses have the ability to open up such a magical area.

Under normal circumstances, the entrances and exits of the enchantment area would be carefully concealed, so that the vast majority of powerhouses would not be able to detect it at all.

But this is not absolute, and it may be detected by some magicians with keen senses, and then forcibly break in.

In the open space filled with murderous aura, this huge team stopped again after shrinking the enveloping formation further.

I saw the black-robed commander who had dismounted, surrounded by layers of personal guards, and slowly came to the center of the open space.

Under the cold moon, the commander took off his black hood, and raised the wooden staff in his hand that exuded a strange light.

At this time, Lei Xiao, who was only tens of meters away from the commander, realized that the other party was not human at all, but a half-orc with a rough and ferocious face!
Reflected by the cold moonlight, that rough and dark ugly face was full of ferociousness and sternness, making one shudder.

"My lord, it seems that this hostile commander is a third-rank half-orc shaman."

Hu Zhang narrowed his eyes slightly, and reported in a low voice to Lei Xiao.

"So, this is not a human army at all?"

Lei Xiao tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart, his face full of surprise.

Since all the soldiers of this army are wearing fully enclosed battle helmets, it is obviously impossible to tell them apart from the appearance alone.

"My lord, this is a well-trained half-orc army."

Hu Zhang nodded, and responded softly: "The aura exuded by this army as a whole is obviously stronger than that of the human army of the same class, which is also reasonable."

"Good guy, I, the lord, have been kept in the dark after a long time of trouble."

Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly, and continued to observe with his mouth pursed.
