In the dense forest halfway up the mountain, at the end of a not rugged but little-known animal path, there is a cave hidden under a huge rock.

The cave is narrow at the front and wide at the back. There is a cave in it, which can be said to be an excellent hiding place.

Currently, all the residents of the town that the thin young man mentioned are hiding here.

At this time, in the dark and humid cave, there were only some fragments of light crystals emitting a faint light.

Dots of pale golden light flickered, reflecting weather-beaten sallow faces and pairs of tired and frightened sunken eye sockets.

Everyone here clearly understands.

A few years ago, if the hunters in the town hadn't accidentally discovered this abandoned den, they would have died long ago.

At this moment, when thinking of that cruel night where darkness and flames intertwined, and the ferocious faces of the soldiers in blue-patterned armor brandishing their sharp blades, some people would still tremble unconsciously, looking like they were still frightened.

At this moment, bursts of rustling footsteps suddenly came from the cave entrance in front.

Hearing this strange sound, a white-haired old man and a middle-aged woman at the door immediately pricked up their ears.

The tall middle-aged woman wearing a floral denim skirt looked happy and blurted out, "It's these two little calves, Jerry and Lily, who are back!"

An hour ago, the young brother and sister saw that the cave was running out of ammunition and food, so they sneaked out while the adults were not paying attention, while shouting to find food and water for everyone.

It can be said that it really frightened this mother who was already worried.

But now, hearing the sudden footsteps, naturally the mother was ecstatic.

"Wait, there's something weird!"

On the other side, the white-haired old man looked stern, a little frightened, and said softly: "The footsteps are messy, there are more than two people!"

"What?!"

This sound was like a thunder, causing the expressions of other people around to suddenly become nervous.

For a moment, everyone in the cave had a look of uncontrollable panic on their faces, and they began to unconsciously try to move deeper into the cave.

But apart from the strong and rough cave walls, there was obviously no hiding place for them.

"Don't panic!"

The white-haired old man, who was relatively strong, grabbed a wooden fork beside him and nodded to a dozen other young-looking old men and women not far away.

On the other side, these people also raised their hoes or sickles, and with trembling steps, they stood at the entrance of the passage together with the old man.

At this time, although they were holding farm tools that could barely be regarded as weapons, their frightened eyes were already full of despair.

At the same time, the rustling sounds continued to approach the location of everyone, and began to become clearer.

At this moment, the slightly chaotic footsteps, with every step forward, the fear on the faces of everyone in the cave became more and more serious.

This unknown sound is like a death knell ringing in the temple, always impacting the haggard heartstrings of everyone.

Finally, when the owner of the footsteps appeared at the end of the passage with the light from the torch.

The bodies of everyone present could not help but tremble.

What appeared in front of them was a group of Holy Night Army soldiers fully armed and armed with sharp blades!

"It really paid off."

Seeing the trembling residents, the leader of the soldiers smiled disdainfully, while shaking the broad-bladed sword in his hand, he said solemnly: "Put down those ridiculous toys in your hands, maybe you can live longer."

"Stop being delusional! We won't go with you demons!"

Taking a deep breath, the old man held the wooden fork in his hand tightly and said solemnly: "Victory will belong to Leng Yan in the end!"

"Hey, it turns out he is still a tough guy."

Looking at the trembling people in front of him with great interest, the soldier captain smiled sternly and mocked: "Your soldiers have fallen at our feet. What can you old guys and lost dogs do?"

"Asshole, stop talking nonsense!"

With the old man beside him, another middle-aged short woman holding a sickle counterattacked: "If you hadn't been outnumbered, how could we, Leng Yan, have been defeated?"

At this point, the middle-aged short woman snorted coldly and continued: "Have you forgotten all the tragic defeats on the plain before? At that time, you were just a bunch of lost dogs!"

"Stop talking and don't anger them further!"

Hearing this, the old man quickly stopped him, but it was already too late.

"Kill me!"

On the other side, the gloomy face of the Holy Night Soldier Captain was already filled with murderous intent.

He didn't say any more words. He raised the broad-bladed sword in his hand, then flashed and rushed towards the residents holding farm tools.

The other Holy Night soldiers on the side also had ferocious looks on their faces full of ferocity. They all waved the sharp blades in their hands and rushed forward together.

There is no doubt that facing a group of strong and well-equipped soldiers, these exhausted old and weak women and children will obviously not have any chance of survival.

Just as the soldier captain with murderous intent in his eyes jumped up, the cold light of the broad-bladed sword in his hand shone brightly.

I saw a burly figure suddenly appear, stretched out his big hand, grabbed the connection point of the soldier captain's light armor, and while pulling him back, he took advantage of the situation and pinned him to the ground.

The next second, the captain of the Holy Night Soldiers who fell down did not even hum, but became motionless.

Immediately afterwards, there were crisp "clicking" sounds of broken bones.

In the blink of an eye, the squad of Holy Night soldiers who had just been preparing to go on a killing spree were destroyed on the spot.

At this time, the burly figure gradually became clear, and it was naturally Ye Cang wearing gold glasses.

When everything became quiet again, Ye Cang lightly dusted himself off, then bowed slightly to Lei Xiao, who was walking slowly, and stood aside respectfully.

Currently, Lei Xiao is only accompanied by Hong Ye, Ye Cang, Bert and Ju Bai. As for Hu Zhang and other subordinates, they are secretly cleaning up the small group of Holy Night Army trying to get close to the cave near the cave.

On the other side, looking at the unbelievable scene in front of them, the residents of Lengyan had not yet recovered from their shock.

Ariel had already led the young girl and boy and walked over together.

Gu Su

"Jerry, Lily!"

Seeing this scene, the tall middle-aged woman wearing a floral denim skirt looked ecstatic at first, and immediately came forward to greet them, then held the two of them tightly in her arms, and began to sob continuously.

"Mom, don't cry, we are here to save everyone!"

The young man and the girl first looked at each other and smiled, then they both pushed Ariel in front of everyone and introduced: "This is our Princess Ariel of Leng Yan!"

"What?!"

After hearing these incredible words, the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Each one of them couldn't believe it, and with a little desire and eyes, they began to project towards Ariel.

These people are just ordinary farmers living at the bottom of the kingdom. Some of them have never even seen the nobles in their entire lives, let alone the members of the royal family who rule the entire Leng Yan? !

"You...are you really our Princess of Lengyan?"

Staring at Ariel's delicate and fair face, the leading old man first rubbed his cloudy eyes and asked tentatively.

"That's right, I'm here to take you all out of here. From now on, you don't have to worry anymore."

Looking at the group of Lengyan people with sallow faces and skinny muscles in front of them, Ariel was already filled with emotions.

Having been educated by the royal elite since she was a child, the first lesson she learned was to memorize the motto of the Cold Flame royal family written by the hero King Caesar himself.

The first sentence in the proverb is the identity of the royal family, which not only symbolizes supremacy and nobility, but also is the absolute protector of the common people.

However, judging from the current situation, her three royal brothers obviously selectively forgot the most important second half of this first sentence and were completely lost in the whirlpool of power.

"Bye...meet Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

On the other side, after hearing Ariel's firm answer, almost all the old and weak residents, including the old man, burst into tears and lowered their heads towards Ariel.

Judging from the trembling bodies of these people, they are all in a state of excitement.

What an honor and disbelief it is for these war-torn residents to be personally rescued by Her Royal Highness the Princess? !

Seeing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

It can be clearly seen from the current scene.

With Ariel Lengyan's status as the fifth princess, she can indeed make her next actions more effective with half the effort.

It is true that even with Lei Xiao's development speed, it is only a matter of time before he can directly defeat Leng Yan and even Sheng Ye next to him.

However, in the face of the terrible catastrophe that may come at any time, the thing we lack most is undoubtedly time.

To sum up, under the current situation that the prestige of the three princes in the royal capital is decreasing day by day.

It is obviously the best choice to conquer Ariel first, and then raise the banner of Ariel as the fifth princess to quickly increase her strength.

Only by mastering more resources can we maximize the power of the golden finger and lay a solid foundation for the next catastrophe.

After all, it can be seen from many predictions that this will be a terrible disaster that will sweep the entire continent.

And, just as Wang Xi said, only by making full use of one's talents can one be prepared for a rainy day and help the human race successfully survive this catastrophe.

"But, then again, according to Wang Xi, the catastrophe was just a prelude."

Realizing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to think: "Coupled with the many mysteries in the blank era, one can't help but look forward to what unimaginable things will happen by then. "

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

On the other side, a discordant voice suddenly came over.

"Don't listen to this hypocritical guy, demagogueing people here!"

At this time, the short middle-aged woman who had been standing in the shadow of the corner and who had just spoken to anger the Holy Night soldiers stood up and snorted coldly: "You said you are Leng Yan's fifth princess?"

The expression of the short woman became more and more gloomy, and then she said coldly: "Then I want to ask you, not long ago, you knew that Shengye had already sent a large number of troops to this area. Why doesn’t the royal family take action?”

At this point, the short woman became more and more excited and continued: "Now that the war has reached here, turning the fields into graves, but you come here to be the savior, don't you think it's too late? ?”

For a moment, after hearing these unexpected words, Ariel's white face, which was originally smiling, suddenly froze, and a look of astonishment suddenly appeared.

On the side, the two generals of the kingdom, Bert and Jubai, took a step forward after receiving Lei Xiao's implicit permission. They wanted to make a few excuses, but were stopped by Ariel herself.

"That's enough! Stop talking nonsense!"

At this time, the old man who had just been seen quickly interrupted the short woman's speech, frowned and said: "Your Highness, the princess, deigned to come to the rescue despite the danger, is already a great gift to us, how can you still return the favor?" Want to use bad words?"

After finishing speaking, the old man couldn't help but sigh heavily again.

Not long ago, this short woman had a happy family, but now, she was alone. It was no wonder she would behave in such a disrespectful manner.

"Old man, stop blaming this woman."

After being stunned for a moment, Ariel shook her head with a wry smile and said, "It is indeed because of our dereliction of duty and failure to fulfill our due responsibilities as protectors, which resulted in the current unbearable situation."

Having said this, Ariel cheered up and smiled again: "Okay, you can leave here with me first. We will talk about other things later."

"Your Highness the Princess is right, it's important to escape from here first!"

On the other side, the old man first looked at the other old and weak residents around him, and then continued: "We are willing to follow Her Royal Highness and leave here together!"

"You are willing, but I am not!"

At this time, the short woman stood up again and snorted: "The outside must be surrounded by the gang of bastards from Shengye. With just a few people, what's the difference between going out and throwing yourself into a trap?"

Looking at Ariel with disdain, the short woman continued: "It's better to stay here to have a chance of living! After all, not every enemy may discover this place!"

"this……"

Upon hearing this, quite a few of the other residents who had been so excited and prepared to leave together began to hesitate again.

Seeing this, a look of pride appeared on the short woman's face, as if she had slapped Ariel hard.

After noticing this, Ariel almost opened her mouth to persuade, but was a little at a loss and didn't know what to do.

On the other side, a cold voice suddenly rang: "This woman, you must have had enough trouble, right?"
