Chapter 175: A Fortified Imperial City
Li Xu's analysis made the general break out in a cold sweat all over his body, and his brows furrowed when he was shocked by his words.
The situation is indeed extremely critical, although the Praetorian Guard Legion is elite, he is not alone in his decision, he is just a staff general, and there is also the distribution of rights between the deputy general and the main general.
And according to Li Xu's analysis, the identity of this human traitor must be among several princes and princesses, except for the human emperor Xià himself, even the prince is very suspicious
"I will go to see His Majesty tonight, and I must tell him about this matter, and be fully prepared for tomorrow's action." The town guard general said.
"General, can I go with you to see Your Majesty?" Li Xu hurriedly said.
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, the palace is not just said to enter." The town guard general said in embarrassment.
"Could it be that this beast general's head can't let me in?" Li Xu asked suspiciously.
"Fighting against fate, even if I help you present your head, it will be a few days before Your Majesty wants to summon you, how can there be any reason to meet you immediately." The town guard general shook his head.
"Anyway, I want you to bring me into the palace, only in this way can I find out who is behind the scenes, and I can also know the current situation of the crown princess." Li Xu hurriedly said.
"It's true that you're worried about the safety of the crown princess, in that case, I have a way to help you, but it's very dangerous to do so." The town guard general said.
"Tell me, what's the solution?" Li Xu asked in surprise.
"It's very simple, I can take you into the periphery of the imperial city, but how to enter the palace, I can't do anything, I can only rely on you to figure it out, and you can't say that I brought you in, and I won't admit it." The town guard general said.
"You can only enter the outer city," Li Xu groaned, looking at the mountains in the distance
Tianmeng City is built on the mountain, this Imperial City Mountain is already a forbidden area for players, but after entering the Imperial City, it is also divided into two parts: the Imperial City and the Imperial Palace City, the most core and the most heavily guarded area, is the mountaintop palace area behind the city wall halfway up the mountain
To be honest, Li Xu, who hadn't even passed through the first city wall, was not sure at all whether he could enter the second city wall.
"Fighting against fate, that's all I can help you, you can think about it yourself, but I'm short of time, and I have to go to see Your Majesty right away." The town guard general said.
"General, you are also heading to the palace, why don't you bring me with you?" Li Xu asked puzzled.
"Boy, what do you think of the palace, I have to be checked several times when I enter the palace, and I can't even bring weapons into it, let alone bring a big living person like you." The town guard general replied helplessly.
"Okay, I've decided, you take me into the Imperial City, and I'll take care of the rest by myself." Li Xu made a decision in an instant.
Tomorrow night, the orc and human traitors will collude together to launch a sneak attack on the human palace, and the time is already very tight, and he doesn't have time to think too much about it.
"You've decided?" The town guard general asked.
"Yes, always ready to walk with the general." Li Xu nodded.
"Alright then, it's not that simple to enter the Imperial City, I'm going to help you dress up." The town guard general looked at Li Xu's body, and after muttering for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Follow me." The town guard general turned around and led him down the platform
Li Xu followed behind the mighty general, strode down the steps, and was immediately surrounded by three teammates.
"Big brother, how is it, this general promised to take you into the palace?" Drama like life hurriedly asked.
"We'll talk as we go." Li Xu told his teammates in detail about the explanation of the general guarding just now
"My God, this is too dangerous, I don't care if I bring you into the imperial city, if you are discovered by the guards, won't it be a dead end?" Hikohiko exclaimed.
"Can't we go in?" Xiao Tongtong blinked his eyes and wondered.
"Big brother, although this matter is very risky, for the sake of Sister Xuexin and this mission, it is better for you to be careful." Drama is like life.
"I've thought about it, as long as I enter the imperial city, the rest of the things are up to me, and I don't believe that I can't enter the palace." Li Xu said with a smile.
The four of them followed closely behind the town guard general and came to a row of buildings in the General's Mansion, where hundreds of heavily armored guards stood neatly
"Against fate, you put on this suit of armor and pretend to be my guards to follow me into the imperial city." The resounding voice of the town guard general came.
I saw an ordinary soldier of the Praetorian Guard standing in front of the general, who was about the same size as Li Xu, wearing a golden Terran Praetorian Guard standard armor.
As soon as the general gave the order, the soldier immediately removed the armor on his body and placed it in front of Li Xu along with the halberd.
Looking at the warrior in front of him, who was only wearing a set of close-fitting cloth armor, retreating back to the queue, Li Xu bent down and thought about how to put on the NPC's equipment
But when he looked at the properties of this armor, he understood everything
Soldier camouflage props: system special task props, disappear immediately after use, and can be transformed into Praetorian Guard soldiers within half an hour, and cannot be manually removed within this state time
It turned out to be a camouflage prop, and you only need to choose to use it.
Unfortunately, this armor can only be used once, if it can be used often.
Li Xu immediately put this armor into the package and did not use it immediately.
"Are you ready?" The town guard general turned and asked.
"Ready, ready to go." Li Xu nodded.
"Big brother, we'll be waiting for you in the city." Drama is like life.
"No need, if it's too late, you can go offline early to rest, remember to go online tomorrow, and we will participate in this large-scale mission." Li Xu said with a smile.
"Understood." The three nodded in reply.
"Warriors, line up and follow me to the palace." The general of the town guard shouted, and more than 100 soldiers of the general's guard, under the command of the commander of the soldiers, were neatly arranged into two columns, followed behind the general, and walked neatly towards the gate
"I went along, too." Li Xu smiled and waved his hand, said goodbye to the three teammates, and caught up behind the guards
In the two columns, the third row vacated a place, which seemed to be reserved for him, and he walked into the queue, and walked out of the general's palace with the NPC soldiers in a neat pace.
"Fight against fate, use armor, and don't let anyone else see it." The town guard general said in a deep voice without looking back.
"Yes, General." Li Xu nodded, and immediately chose to use camouflage props.
Swish!
A golden glow enveloped his body, and a second later, he was transformed into the exact same outfit as the soldiers around him
Boom!
The sound of neat footsteps resounded through the quiet street, and a few night owl players found that the guards of the brigade of golden shaking armor were moving over, and hurriedly took refuge on both sides of the street.
In Tianmeng City, this kind of NPC patrol is very common, and every few minutes on each street, two or three columns of patrol soldiers to maintain order pass by.
But this time, at the front of this group of NPC patrol teams, a majestic general led the team, which immediately surprised many players
"I'm not dazzled, the town guard general actually walked out of the general's mansion?"
"That's not right, didn't you go in against your fate, why didn't you see him come out?"
"Let's go, let's go to the General's Mansion and have a look."
The legion players who were guarding outside the General's Mansion had been following Li Xu's team to come here, but after guarding for a long time, they found that the person they wanted to follow had been lost again
Walking in a neat procession on the empty street, passing through two street corners, I saw a long wall of the imperial palace at the foot of the hill not far away.
Turning the corner, Li Xu came to Huangcheng Street again, looking at the shops on both sides, as well as many NPCs that suddenly appeared, which made him suddenly startled.
In the past few days, he was already familiar with this street, and he remembered very well how many shops and NPCs there were on the street.
But this time when he entered the street, he was surprised to find that in front of each system store, there were several strong NPC men wearing cloth clothes and pretending to be various vendors.
Especially when he walked a distance of hundreds of meters, he found out of the corner of his eye that there were still many figures hidden in the several branch alleys of Huangcheng Street.
These figures can't be players
Could it be that after the tailor's mother ventilated the news, the people of the Ice and Snow Legion came here to prepare to rescue the Ice and Snow Heart at a critical time?
Puzzled in his heart, Li Xu didn't dare to stay, followed in the middle of the large army, quickly crossed the streets of the Imperial City, and came to the giant city gate that would be driven away by NPC soldiers even if he approached
The first city wall of the Terran Imperial City Mountain is about ten meters high, densely covered with arrow towers and sentry posts, and it is a strong fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The same is true of this city gate, the heavy iron gate is a hanging door that dozens of soldiers turn the winch and work hard to open, once it encounters special circumstances, after the iron gate is closed, it is difficult to open outside.
The heavy gate is not subject to fire and water, and boulders and arrows can hardly damage it, so it is very well defended.
Without the help of the traitor, it would be like a pipe dream for the Orcs to forcibly break through the Terran Imperial City Mountain.
More than a hundred guards followed behind the town guard general, and soon approached this thick gate, looking at the red gate, carved with a fierce giant tiger, as if this was the totem of the divine beast guarding the city gate.
"Open the door, I'm Wang Yu, the general of Tianmeng Town." The town guard general shouted.
"General, please show me the token." At the city gate, an officer who looked like a captain poked his head out and said.
I saw the town guard general's right hand raised high, and a token emitted a golden light in the moonlight
Buzz Kerakara!
Only the sound of the iron cable turning was heard, and the gate slowly rose upward
"General, please come in." A respectful voice came from the gates.
The town guard general took his guards and walked towards the Huangcheng Mountain, which Li Xu had never seen
The moment he entered the gate, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he looked at the huge city gate, which was five or six inches thick.
And what surprised him even more was that inside this city gate hole, there was actually a double city gate configuration, that is, if the enemy came to attack, it would be nothing to break through the first gate, and there was the same spare city gate on the other side of the city gate hole.
Moreover, in the middle of the city gate hole, Li Xu was surprised to find that the outer city wall of the imperial city was actually a double-layer configuration, and even if the enemy broke through a city wall, there was still a layer inside
Such a strong defense, worthy of being the most critical Imperial City Mountain of the Terrans!
But Li Xu still didn't know that the place he was about to go to was more than several times more heavily defended
