Log oasis.

Rest in peace.

"Old liar, now that Narius has called, what about the arrangement you are talking about?" In the small shop, Lin Xiao stared at the owner of the rest shop.

If there are outsiders here at this time, they will definitely be dumbfounded.

Because the owner of the rest shop was a different person at the moment—or a different person at all.

Aresta.

The former director of the Gus Kingdom, a special clone of Narius, a guy who joined forces with Tang Dou in pursuit of truth and freedom to prepare to kill the Blood Elf King.

A cold-blooded person who can work with anyone and play with anyone in order to achieve his goals.

No one would have thought that the owner of the rest shop was actually Aresta's doppelganger.

Narlius probably didn't know that the special clone he had created with someone's help also inherited some of his abilities, so Aresta had a clone of the owner of the Rest Shop.

The only difference is that the doppelganger of the owner of the rest shop is completely a puppet, and his mind is completely controlled by Aresta, this guy has already recognized Tang Dou's identity when he made a deal with Tang Dou and them, and then he pretended to come up with the idea of letting Tang Dou go to the ancient kingdom, also to prepare for the future plan.

It can be said that from the time Tang Dou appeared in the log oasis, Aresta had already laid out a series of plans to calculate Tang Dou. The only thing he didn't calculate was Tang Dou's strength and the truth of the Source of Life space.

Aresta knew from some special sources that the Source of Life space was a huge space where people could live, but he didn't expect that it was a world at all.

What he didn't expect was that Tang Dou would find the Nine Ghost City in it, get the Nine Spirit Rune Inheritance, and get the help of the Snow Maiden. Of course, he didn't break the seal of the previous season in the Sand Tooth Oasis later, and he made a lot of money and got the blue.

Of course, Aresta isn't the kind of person who is ready to go haywire. He immediately changed his plan, from calculating Tang Dou at the beginning to cooperating with Tang Dou.

That's why there was the invasion of Duvesa, which was what Kenneth's idiot did after he was fooled by Aresta.

When Aresta gave the seeds of human evil to Abraham, he was doomed to the end of the kingdom of Duvesa. What's even more interesting is that in this process, Aresta also fooled the Demon Heart Sect, making the people of the Demon Heart Sect think that Aresta had dealt with Tang Dou, so they gave Elucie to Kenneth.

The final result, of course, was that Tang Dou destroyed Du Weise, and also allowed Elucie to regain her freedom and get rid of the evil spirit.

The Demon Heart Sect found out that they had fallen into a bad situation, and after being furious, they launched this elven expedition.

And Narius, who found that his doppelganger was starting to be disobedient, took the initiative to ask Ying to lead the expeditionary force, and at the same time prepared to attack the source of life space according to the last news sent back by Aresta.

It can be said that from the time Tang Dou stepped into the log oasis to the present, all events have more or less the shadow of Aresta, and even Tang Dou has to be careful when facing Aresta.

This surface has lost all its combat effectiveness, just like a guy who is too ordinary to be an ordinary elf, but a guy who is extremely dangerous. Even Tang Dou didn't dare to relax this guy in any way.

Lin Xiao knew from Tang Dou that the owner of the rest shop was Aresta, and that the Jin Kingdom of Duvese was the result of Tang Dou and Aresta's joint calculations, so he was stunned at that time, and now he sees that Aresta is always in a wolf-proof posture, as long as the other party makes any movement, he will immediately put his hand on the flickering light.

Master said that as long as this guy has any abnormal movement, there is no problem in killing him first.

Seeing Lin Xiao glaring at him as if he was facing a great enemy, Aresta smiled indifferently: "Little girl, you don't have to be nervous. My purpose is to seek the truth of this world, and your master is the best collaborator who can fulfill this wish, and I will not do anything to him until he loses his usefulness! ”

Such a straightforward and frank admission of the relationship with Tang Dou is to use each other, which shows how confident and arrogant Aresta is.

"Old liar, you haven't answered my words yet!" Lin Xiao pinched the hilt of the flickering light and almost pinched out the water.

Aresta waved his hand: "Little girl, I have already answered your question at the beginning, and now you are running to ask me, it is nothing more than your lack of confidence." Do you think you can get any confidence from me? ”

Lin Xiao's momentum stagnated.

She was a little lacking in confidence.

The log oasis now has a total of less than 10,000 troops, and more than 2,000 are wounded soldiers, although the injuries are not serious, but they are also wounded soldiers. It is not impossible to ask for support from the rear, but it was agreed before that it must be delayed for ten days, and it will take ten days to make the rear preparations complete.

The more they accept the arrival of support from the rear, the less prepared the rear will be, and the longer the stalemate with the Elven Expeditionary Force will be. That would be bad for the Arsa side.

To put it bluntly, no matter how strong the Arsa people are, the hard power gap with the Elven Expeditionary Force is irreparable, and the new workshop can't be completely replaced by Arsa, then it will be the turn of the Arsa people to attack the new workshop in turn - although they can't beat the new workshop, but the situation laid by Tang Dou before is in vain.

Therefore, Lin Xiao thought about dragging down the last six days, but the current situation is that it is possible that the other party can knock down the log oasis in one day.

The oasis is no better than the castle, there are places everywhere that can be broken through, although there are a few fixed directions where the opponent can attack due to quicksand traps and other reasons, but a flat oasis cannot be defended.

This is also the reason why the wars in the inner ring of Alsa are often field battles, because there are no city defense battles to fight at all, and the so-called city defense battles are all inside the oasis, the castles of various families, the kind of small-scale offensive and defensive battles with thousands of people and a large number of people.

But now there are 400,000 elven expeditionary forces outside the log oasis.

The defenders of the log oasis were less than 10,000 people, and even if they added the 1,000 armored scorpions that had just come to support, how could they guard against the charge of the 400,000 army?

Now the elven expeditionary force deliberately blew the horn of the attack loud, but the rhythm of the attack was very slow, the horn sounded for half an hour, and they were still slowly advancing in formation thousands of kilometers away, playing psychological warfare, hoping to make the Arsa defenders of the log oasis defeat themselves through this kind of mountain persecution.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that there was support at any time behind, if it weren't for the fact that half of the defenders were soldiers and horses from Tang Douxin's workshop, the morale of the log oasis would have been cleared long ago.

The Arsians are fierce, but that doesn't mean they're not afraid of death at all.

Faced with such a situation, Lin Xiao remembered what Aresta had told her before that there was an inside line buried in the expeditionary force, so she ran to find Aresta.

She's actually like Aresta said, not so much looking for Aresta to determine the inside line, but looking for a little confidence.

After all, even Lin Xiao, who doesn't understand tactics and strategy, knows that if the inside line is activated at this time, it will just let the inside line go to death, and it will not play any role at all.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao's face turned red, Aresta didn't mock it, but just said indifferently: "Narius is good at attacking the heart, and you know very well his current layout, that is, to let the people of the log oasis surrender without a fight, you have to make good use of this, let him think that there is no problem with his plan, so that he can drag on time!" And then little by little, let Narlius discover that the log oasis can't be beaten down with a meter, so that it can drag on for a day or two! ”

"When that happens, I can get the inside line moving for a bit more than a day or two. At that time, Narlius should have known about the cut off of the supply line, and he would immediately reorganize his army and launch the strongest offensive to take down the log oasis. That's basically your limit! ”

"Little girl, it's impossible to drag on for six days, instead of thinking about how to drag on for six days, it's better to think about how to drag on the day, and every day you drag it as the last day, so that there is hope! Sometimes, it's better to look at the present than you look at the future! ”

Lin Xiao looked at Aresta with some astonishment, wondering what the purpose of this guy who was a big liar in her mind was saying these words to herself.

After a moment, she nodded at Aresta, "I see. Kindness...... Thanks a lot! ”

With that, she turned around and spun.

Aresta looked at the background of Lin Xiao's departure, showed a smile, and then her body rippled like water waves, and after a while, she turned into the image of an ordinary-looking, thin and shrewd old man who originally rested in the shop.

After fooling Duvese, Aresta came to the log oasis, took back his clone, and sat here himself.

The log oasis is the mouthpiece of the inner ring, and in the past, under the calculation and operation of Aresta, everyone thought that the thin boss of the rest shop was the spokesperson of the Seven Kingdoms, a middleman who roamed between the forces of the Seven Kingdoms, not biased towards anyone, nor would he be bought by anyone, but as long as there was a need, he could be replaced at any time.

This is what Aresta is capable of, and he has given the Seven Nations the highest level of the Seven Nations such an illusion.

Then, he used his position as the owner of the Rest of the Little Shop to turn the Log Oasis into a stronghold in his hands, and the entire Log Oasis was actually Aresta's personal domain, and all the people who lived in the Log Oasis for a long time were Aresta's subordinates.

He holds the mouthpiece of the inner ring, and naturally he also controls the news channel between the inner ring and the outside world. He can even make some subtle tweaks through the special role of the log oasis, so that the interests of the various forces in the inner ring are within his control.

As a result, the original Seven Kingdoms and Ten Leaders were played by Aresta between applause without knowing it. If it weren't for Tang Dou's own body, and even simply running around with a world on his back, so that Aresta miscalculated, then the situation might have been very different.

Lin Xiao quickly returned to the front-line command post. In fact, it is also the location directly south of the log oasis. It is the main attack position of the Second Legion of the Elven Expeditionary Force, and it is also the largest entrance and exit of the log oasis.

The log oasis is the only oasis in the inner ring that is completely located on the Gobi, and its eighteen consecutive water cave environments form a special ecological environment.

However, when the Elven Expeditionary Force pressed the territory, the seventeen water holes on the periphery had been completely abandoned, and everyone concentrated on the main oasis of the log oasis to hold on.

And because of the seventeen water holes, the log oasis is only due south is the most suitable for a large army to attack, and its east and west sides are not suitable for a large number of troops to set up a formation.

Therefore, the two hundred legions in the east and west are all approaching in the way of raiding and harassing, mainly sealing the routes on both sides, and the second legion of the state to the south is the frame that is forcefully pushed over from the front.

"They're still posing, tsk!" Lin Xiao came to the front-line command post and saw that the Second Army Corps of the State was still five hundred meters away.

In fact, this distance has already entered the range of some archery snipers, of course, including the range of large weapons, but there are very few archers and arrow snipers on this side of the log oasis, and there are no large weapons, so there is no movement here at all.

"Senior sister, what did you talk to the old liar about?" Under the influence of Lin Xiao, Ellie also began to call Aresta an old liar.

"He? It's not a big deal. But he reminded me that I had a solution! Lin Xiao laughed and said his thoughts to Ellie and Youyou.

The two girls were all dazzled after hearing this, they both knew that Lin Xiao was not good at tactical and strategic arrangements, but this girl may be born, or she may have been with Tang Dou for the longest time and the most affected, so her brain has always been wonderful, and from time to time there will be some amazing ideas.

For example, destroying the oasis is an idea that no one else would even think about.

Lin Xiao's method was very simple, under Aresta's reminder, he decided to show weakness. That is to play an empty hand plan.

Tang Dou once told Lin Xiao about the thirty-six strategies as a story - well, it was mainly a story for Xiao Lori, and then Lin Xiao would listen to it every time.

So at this time, she remembered the empty city plan.

Of course, it's not the same as Mr. Zhuge singing in the city. Lin Xiao was ready to burn the log oasis by himself.

It's not really burned, but with Haruko Koko, it can make the entire oasis look like it's burning from a distance, but it doesn't damage the oasis and various buildings.

Of course, such an empty city plan can only play a role for a short time, and Nalius only needs to send a few people over to take a look, but the core of Lin Xiao's empty city plan is not the empty city, but the ......

A moment later, the elven army, which had already advanced to five hundred meters and was ready to launch a real attack, stopped.

They were shocked to find that the log oasis had burned on its own.

The fire that burst into the sky quickly spread throughout the oasis, and almost in the blink of an eye, countless fireheads spread into pieces throughout the oasis, turning into a monstrous fire that enveloped the entire oasis.

What's going on?

Zorat, the commander of the Second National Legion, was stunned.
