Chapter 724 In Velen City

"who?!"

Hearing this sudden voice, Kerr was startled and immediately followed the sound.

I saw a young man with a gentle face, who did not know when, had already appeared behind him.

Beside the young man, there were still two men and three women standing, while the soldiers around Kerr seemed to be frozen, unable to move at all, leaving only a pair of terrified eyes, which were still turning around.

The people who came were Lei Xiao, Knotweed, Jiangli, Ariel, Ye Cang and Jin Wen who had just taken off their invisibility cloaks.

When Lei Xiao left Kongqing Town, the 30,000 new aristocratic soldiers who besieged the city were completely defeated, most of them were wiped out, and a small number were all captured.

Currently, the garrison of Kongqing Town led by Lin and Guanzhong, the garrison of Magnet Town led by Ned and Nate, and the garrison of Mailan Town led by Xuan Yue and Bai Guo are cleaning the surrounding battlefields and dealing with post-war affairs.

The Falling Dragon City troop led by Benson and the Goblin troop led by Red Stone moved westward, continuing to attack the sphere of influence of the new nobles.

The other fifth-tier powerhouse Hong Ye, Lian, Chao Yan, Lina, Nan Xing and other fourth-tier main powerhouses were arranged by Lei Xiao to sit in Kongqing Town and the territory in the forest. act together.

There are two main reasons why Lei Xiao made such an arrangement.

One reason is that after this series of battles, the consumption of the main powerhouses is too great, and they must recover their strength as soon as possible in case of emergency.

Secondly, the Territory and Kongqing Town have just gone through a big battle, and they haven't completely stabilized yet. With these strong men in charge, even if there is an emergency, Lei Xiao can deal with it in time.

As for why Lei Xiao led some of the main force to Velen City, there was only one goal, and that was to take the city without bloodshed.

You must know that the traditional aristocrats in this area are huge, with 12 major cities, and they are distributed far away.

The soldiers under Lei Xiao's command, even though they are brave and good at fighting, are well-equipped, but their numbers are relatively limited, and they cannot bloom at the same time and quickly control all areas.

Moreover, if they attacked one by one, it would be a waste of time and cause considerable new battle damage.

The most important thing is that Lei Xiao understands clearly.

When the opponent's main force is completely wiped out, I must not give the opponent's remaining troops any chance to breathe. I must control the entire area in one go, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

Therefore, in addition to frontal attack, finding another way has become the most urgent thing right now.

Among them, subduing the enemy without fighting, converting the vacillating strength of the opponent into our own strength, so as to defeat the enemy and become stronger, has become Lei Xiao's best choice.

After all, Lei Xiao's purpose is to completely eradicate the hostile nobles entrenched in this land, establish a new order, and quickly convert it into our combat power and resources, not to destroy everything blindly.

And if you want to take Velen City without bloodshed, the left-behind commander of Velen City in front of you, Captain Kerr of the garrison army, is the best key to achieve this goal.

When Ye Cang first interrogated Baldwin, Lei Xiao had already learned about Kerr and learned that Baldwin imprisoned his family before leaving.

So, just like what Lei Xiao said just now, before coming to look for Kerr, Lei Xiao had already rescued Kerr's family and moved them to a safe place in the city.

Looking at Kerr's stunned look, Lei Xiao smiled lightly, and briefly described the process of rescuing his family from the City Lord's Mansion.

"So, my family members are really saved?"

After listening to Lei Xiao's words, Kerr was overjoyed and thanked Lei Xiao repeatedly.

After a while, Kerr realized this, and said cautiously: "Who is your Excellency?"

"It's normal that you don't know my appearance, but you should be very familiar with her appearance, right?"

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and nodded to Ariel who had been standing quietly behind him. The latter understood, and immediately took off the black hood that concealed his identity.

In an instant, a head of thick slightly curly blue hair poured down like a waterfall, and a small golden crown shone brightly on the fair and graceful delicate face.

"Your...His Royal Highness?!"

Seeing the noble face that often appears on magic portraits, Kerr was extremely astonished, and at the same time involuntarily knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for saving the villain's family from the devil's lair!"

At this time, Kerr couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion in addition to being pleasantly surprised.

In a hidden room, Lei Xiao gave Kerr a set of Tier 4 equipment and a storage ring, and then ordered: "As for the officials in the city, except for Baldwin's retainers and those who are closely related Except for this, all the others have been reinstated as princesses, and the new city lord I appointed is already on his way."

The reason why Lei Xiao didn't replace all the officials was to stabilize the whole city as soon as possible, and at the same time to establish prestige among this part of the management and win over people's hearts.

After all, after controlling so many new lands at once, Lei Xiao, who just arrived, does not have such a strong talent pool.

And many other things, including the selection and deployment of subsequent city management personnel, and the removal of some insignificant remnants of the previous city lord, can be left to the new city lord to take full responsibility. Naturally, it is impossible for Lei Xiao to put all his energy on every town. .

"As for the candidate for the new city lord of Velen City, I have already made up my mind, and that is Xuanyue's old city lord's father, Mu En."

"At that time, even though Mu En was almost killed under the raid of several rebellious elders, but because I appeared in time and treated him, after this period of recuperation with healing potions, his body has almost recovered .

"As far as I know, as a neutral aristocrat, Mu En has always had a good reputation. The town of Mailan under his rule is also rich in life and can live and work in peace and contentment. He is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. After all, one of the main industries of Velen City One, it is agricultural like Mailan Town.

While thinking about it, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

Not long after, a well-formed cavalry unit entered the gate of Velen City.

This is the Mailan Town Cavalry Brigade led by Xuanyue's old city lord's father, Mu En, and Mailan Town Cavalry Commander Bran under Lei Xiao's order.

When Xuanyue and Baiguo led the army to rescue Kongqing Town, Lei Xiao purposely kept this highly mobile light cavalry unit for exactly this purpose.

"Although this is only a thousand-strong cavalry brigade, Kerr has become my direct subordinate, and with the presence of two third-tier powerhouses, Muen and Mailan, it is enough to quickly stabilize the city. "

"See Lord Lord!"

It didn't take long for Mu En and Bran, both in armor, to kneel down in front of Lei Xiao.

"Long time no see, Old City Master, how is your injury?"

Lei Xiao asked the two of them with a smile while motioning for them to get up.

"Returning to Lord Lord, it has recovered to seven or eighty-eight, and there is no serious problem."

Seeing a look of gratitude and excitement on Mu En's resolute face, he quickly responded.

At this moment, Mu En couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts in his heart.

At that time, if the lord hadn't appeared, he and Xuanyue would have been brutally killed, and Mailan Town would have been merged into the camp of traditional nobles.

At that time, the situation of the free farmers who used to live and work in peace and contentment will naturally be self-evident.

It was also because of the Lord Lord's timely treatment and the subsequent supply of potions that he was able to save himself from danger and recover so quickly.

And now, the lord actually entrusts such an important city to his management. What an honor and honor it is. It undoubtedly makes himself and his family glow with unprecedented glory!

Adding these three great kindnesses together, even if you let yourself feel completely overwhelmed, you can't fully repay it at all!

What Mu En didn't expect was that the lord actually defeated the combined army of 150,000 from the traditional aristocratic forces and the new aristocratic forces, which is simply unbelievable!

Being able to work under the hands of this great man will undoubtedly witness the advent of a new era!

Excited in his heart, Mu En touched his chest and saluted again: "My lord, in addition to the cavalry brigade, my subordinates also brought a group of capable officials from Mailan Town to assist in the management, so please rest assured, my lord. , my subordinates will restore Velen City to normal operation in the shortest possible time!"

"Very good, then I will leave it to you."

Lei Xiao nodded in ~ First, he also equipped Muen and Bran with a set of fourth-tier equipment and a storage ring, and then introduced Kerr, who was standing by, to the second people know each other.

When the three of them started to get acquainted, Lei Xiao didn't stay any longer, but led all the powerful people straight away from Velen City.

Lei Xiao had just walked to the outskirts of Velen City, and two new battle reports were transmitted one after another through reading.

First, Bert and Boren have continued to go south and captured the town of Zem among the rearguard legion and remnant army that wiped out the traditional nobles.

Second, after Jubai captured Leo's End Castle, he took another important town of the traditional nobles next door, Giant Rock City, with the force of thunder.

So far, after Songluo City, Leo's Rest Fort, Pentium City, and Velen City, there are two more traditional aristocratic cities that have been included in Lei Xiao's territory.

"Have more than half of the twelve cities of the traditional nobles been captured? Then it's time to take care of the sphere of influence of the new nobles."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao smiled lightly, and then disappeared in place instantly under the effect of Jiangli's teleportation magic.
