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

Chapter 1506: Rescue and Change

"Is something wrong?"

Jasmine, who was a bit carefree by nature, did not understand what Lei Xiao meant. She frowned and said, "I know, it is indeed wrong that Eclipse's attack is so fierce!"

"It's not Eclipse, but the General of the Divine Stone from before."

Lei Xiao's eyes were sharp. While he continued to lead the strong men towards the city wall, he kept a close eye on the surroundings.

"Are you talking about the general named Curry? What's wrong with him?"

Jasmine was stunned at first, but then she obviously realized something and blurted out in astonishment, "Could it be that he has become a parasite?"

"That's right. Although the other party has hardly revealed any flaws, this possibility cannot be ruled out."

Lei Xiao confirmed Jasmine's idea, and then instructed the other warriors, "Collect your formation, and don't spread out too much."

"Human boy, are you saying that the enemy was trying to disperse our fighting power? No wonder they had to send us to support the four walls at the same time."

Jasmine finally understood what was happening. She frowned and asked, "But the other party doesn't have any characteristics of a parasite."

"Don't forget that in the early stages of being parasitized, the characteristics are not obvious. In addition, the energy fluctuations in the fortress are extremely chaotic. We cannot rule out the possibility that the other party is covering up the characteristics, even using physical means such as makeup and protective gear to cover them up."

Lei Xiao's gaze fell on the helmets of the soldiers around him and he responded solemnly.

Lei Xiao understood clearly that he had learned this through communication with Old Booker and others in the past few days.

In the early stages of being parasitized by "Eclipse", although most people will have characteristic crystals appearing on their foreheads like the White Knight, many will also appear in other parts of the body, which are difficult to observe with the naked eye, especially when covered by equipment such as helmets.

In addition, although Old Booker and others have mastered some means of identifying the possessed, and he has also learned a lot from the former, those are all based on the normal situation of stable energy fluctuations. It is difficult to distinguish them on the battlefield, even for the stone elves.

"Human boy, since there is no way to tell, how did you find out that the other party is a parasite?"

Jasmine's fair face also showed a hint of sternness as she asked.

"It's because of the other party's actions that the fortress is in a critical situation. However, General Shenshi, the main commander, has been waiting for us next to the teleportation array. This is a bit too deliberate. It's obvious that he doesn't care whether the fortress will fall. If it were a normal situation, sending a deputy general or a staff officer would be enough to explain the current situation on the battlefield. Why would he have to wait in person?"

Lei Xiao nodded slightly and responded: "After I first noticed this, I had already doubted the other party, and the other party's subsequent attempt to disperse our combat power made me confirm this speculation."

"That makes sense. If the other party is a parasite, then everything would make sense."

Jasmine nodded her head heavily and frowned as she said, "At present, the Guanwang City and the fortress have not been breached yet. It is impossible that the Eclipse outside did it. It seems that the culprit must be the Eclipse who sneaked in before. They are the same group of Eclipse who used the beauty trap!"

After that, Jasmine looked at Lei Xiao again and asked, "Then what should we do next?"

"Since the enemy is trying to disperse our fighting power, it means that they must have been prepared to defeat us one by one. They must be trying to use the "eclipse" outside to weaken our strength first, and then take advantage of the chaos to defeat us one by one."

Lei Xiao hesitated for a moment and responded, "But this is just our guess after all. Everything is still unclear at the moment, so we shouldn't alert the enemy. I have just quietly sent Gray Old Man back to Guanwang City to inform the old city lord of everything. From now on, we just need to remain unchanged in the face of all changes."

After saying that, Lei Xiao frowned slightly.

Originally, he had planned to use telepathy and magic communication to directly contact Orr, Carol, Calvin, Nick and others who stayed in Watch City, but he couldn't get in touch with them at all. It seemed that the "Eclipse" must have interfered with the magic communication between the two cities.

"In short, it is impossible for the enemy to hide too much strength in the fortress. As long as we hold on to the two walls and don't disperse too much, it will be difficult for the enemy to attack."

Lei Xiao nodded to Jasmine, and then gave instructions to the strong men around him.

“This is indeed the most appropriate approach.”

Hearing this, Jasmine's starry eyes showed a hint of hesitation, and she asked with some worry, "But what if the old city lord is also quietly parasitized?"

"We cannot rule out this hypothesis, but the most urgent task now is to repel the Eclipse outside."

Lei Xiao's face remained calm, but his heart was filled with helplessness and uneasiness.

After all, I have only been here for a short time. There are many things I cannot decide for myself, and I cannot fully trust anyone except my own side. Now I can only take one step at a time.

You know, whether it is the old city lord or the four divine stone generals, their strength is all at the half-step seventh level. On my side, only Jasmine, Xuan Ji and my enhanced self can compete with them.

In this situation, once a core figure is parasitized by the opponent, regardless of whether the opponent will use the power in his hands to cause trouble for us, his own powerful strength should not be underestimated.

Just as Lei Xiao thought of this, the group was already very close to the fortress wall.

"Chris, Fanny, you guys will defend the other side with Hanershu, Bruno and other elite level 6 warriors. I'll take Jasmine, a small number of level 6 warriors and the remaining level 5 warriors to defend here. Remember, keep in touch with me at all times and don't spread out too far."

Lei Xiao stroked his chin gently and adopted a new deployment.

In any case, the opponent's primary target must be the [God's Stone] which poses the greatest threat, so it is too dangerous to deploy Nanxing, Nanyue and other fifth-level [God's Stone] holders alone.

Although these main subordinates have reached the peak of the fifth level under their focused training, there is still a huge gap between them and the sixth level, and the same is true for the fifth-level stone elves.

As for the sixth-level strongmen such as Chris and Fanny, they are all veterans who have experienced many battles. With the blessing of the magic stone weapons, they are also capable of standing on their own.

"As you command, Lord Lord!"

The two fairy subordinates touched their chests and saluted, then quickly led the elite warriors to rush to the other side.

After everything was arranged properly, Lei Xiao quickened his pace and soon he was within reach of the designated city wall.

However, something surprising happened.

The deafening roar of magic cannons outside the city suddenly stopped, and "Eclipse" obviously stopped its attack.

Seeing this, Lei Xiao, Jasmine and others looked at each other in bewilderment, but still quickly climbed up the city wall.

"Dear brave sir, you are here!"

A middle-aged dwarf general came up with a team of alchemical puppets. A hint of confusion appeared on his dark face. He said puzzledly, "The enemy suddenly stopped attacking, and then retreated like a tide."

"Wasn't the situation of the fortress extremely critical just now? Why did the enemy suddenly retreat when they had the upper hand?"

Lei Xiao looked down at the city through the thick battlements, and sure enough, it was completely empty. Apart from the corpses of some parasites scattered everywhere, there was no trace of any "eclipse" at all.

"I don't know, but it seems like the other side received some emergency signal and evacuated in a hurry."

The dwarf general shook his head, still looking confused, while the other soldiers on the city wall were all like those in the Watchtower City, almost all collapsed to the ground, obviously extremely exhausted.

"What emergency signal was received?"

Jasmine tilted her head, and then whispered to Lei Xiao: "Human boy, could it be that the parasite general informed the "Eclipse" outside that we could not fully disperse our combat power, so the other party chose to retreat temporarily and find another way?"

"Everything is still unclear at the moment. Since the crisis has been resolved for the time being, we should reunite with Chrissy Fanny and the others as soon as possible."

Lei Xiao didn't think about anything else and commanded our strong men to go back into the fortress.

As soon as they arrived at the bottom of the city wall, Chris and Fanny and their group rushed over. Chris stepped forward and reported to Lei Xiao: "My Lord, when I arrived at the city wall, the enemy had already retreated."

"It's the same situation as mine. Didn't you find anything unusual?"

Lei Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that all the strong men were safe and sound.

"Thank you for your concern, my lord. There is nothing unusual."

Chris smiled, and then seemed to remember something, and said again: "By the way, Lord, I found this thing on the city wall."

After saying that, Chris flapped her transparent wings, and seemed to be holding something in her hand, and flew towards Lei Xiao.

Without any warning, when Chris was very close to Lei Xiao, magic power surged around her body and she swung a sharp wind blade towards the latter.

At this point, everyone noticed that Chris had nothing in her hands! In other words, she was obviously trying to get close to Lei Xiao on purpose!

"Lord, be careful!"

Xiao Jing, who had been guarding Lei Xiao, instantly opened an absolute defense barrier and gritted her teeth to block this sudden attack.

Judging from the roar and energy fluctuations produced when the wind blade touches the barrier wall, this is enough to rival the full-strength attack of a half-step seventh-level strongman!

"Protect the lord!"

Seeing this, our strong men who had been following Lei Xiao were surprised. They tightened their weapons and moved closer to Lei Xiao, making the scene extremely tense in an instant.

After failing once, Chris did not stop. Instead, the surrounding area was swirling with strong winds, and she once again swung hundreds of wind blades towards Lei Xiao.

At the same time, something even more incredible happened.

Not only Chris, but also Fanny, Hanershu, Bruno and other sixth-level warriors who were guarding the other side were all filled with murderous aura. All kinds of magical lights, sword lights and axe blades were overwhelming, and they were also whistling towards Lei Xiao and other warriors who were accompanying him!

In just a blink of an eye, the fortress that had just calmed down turned into a deadly battlefield again.

Fortunately, after Lei Xiao's signal, Xiao Jing expanded the range of the absolute defense barrier in time, protecting all the strong men who were accompanying us. Otherwise, with the strength of a group of fifth-level subordinates and fifth-level dwarf elves such as Broy, there would probably be heavy casualties.

boom! boom! boom!

Faced with such a fierce attack, our barrier wall suddenly surged and became extremely dim.

"Power the absolute defense barrier with all your strength!"

In addition to being extremely astonished, our powerful companions, led by Jasmine, joined in the energy supply. Together with the strengthened Lei Xiao himself, the absolute defense barrier was temporarily stabilized.

"Human boy, it seems that all of your subordinates have been parasitized."

Jasmine clenched the staff in her hand and frowned, "Isn't the speed of Eclipse's parasitism too fast?"

"It's not parasitism, it's an imposter."

Lei Xiao carefully observed Chris and Fanny who were attacking him crazily with distorted faces, and responded: "Chris and Fanny are both good at earth-based spells, while these two are using wind-based attacks. The moves of Hanshu and Bruno are also somewhat different from the real ones."

After Lei Xiao said this, all the strong men on our side who had been following the former in defense also reacted one after another.

The Lord is right. Although these people look and have similar auras, and even their equipment is exactly the same, their moves are indeed different from those of the real Chris and others.

"There is no trace of illusion. It is not an illusion disguise."

Jasmine's face was full of confusion, and she blurted out, "Then where did these guys come from?"

"Now is not the time to think about these things. We must first get rid of these impostors."

Lei Xiao had already launched a thunderbolt at the opponent and said, "Don't hold back, solve these troubles as soon as possible."

After hearing Lei Xiao's words, all the powerful men on our side who had been accompanying him showed their abilities and fought back against this group of sudden impostors.

For a moment, our counterattack and the enemy's offensive intertwined in mid-air, making the entire battlefield even more deadly and turbulent.

"After all, this fortress has not changed hands yet. They are so bold as to launch an attack directly inside the fortress. They really don't know how to live or die!"

Jasmine waved the magic stone staff in her hand, causing the space to suddenly twist, twisting several sixth-level counterfeits into a dough twist. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Everyone around here is our people. You are like moths to a flame!"

As Jasmine finished her words, the dwarf general who had just arrived led the soldiers defending the city. Many soldiers defending the city also gathered from other directions. When they got close, the soldiers raised their bows and crossbows, and countless arrows shot out.

After seeing this scene, Jasmine became more confident. Although the strength of these soldiers defending the city was limited, their numbers were large enough to prevent the enemy from being able to take care of both ends and being caught in a state of being attacked from both sides!

However, what happened next was once again beyond the expectations of all of us.

The target of the arrows was not the sudden imposters, but our group who were caught off guard. (End of this chapter)
