Chapter 747: Lord's Battle Banner
Chapter 748 The Lord's Battle Banner
"Ariel, do you want to talk about the fallen nobles guarding the mountain fortress?"
Lei Xiao had obviously guessed what little princess Leng Yan was thinking, and said with a faint smile.
"Return to the lord, this is exactly what the subordinates are worried about."
Ariel gently put down the teapot, and responded with frowned eyebrows: "There are more than 13,000 fallen nobles guarding the mountain fortress. Not only are they well-equipped and well-trained, but they have also experienced many tragic border battles not long ago. It is undoubtedly much stronger than the ordinary garrison.
"The analysis is correct. To a certain extent, the combat effectiveness of this part of the defenders is already comparable to that of the surrendered troops of the three legions."
Lei Xiao stood up from the throne, and while moving his muscles freely, he smiled and said, "Ariel, if it were you, what would you do?"
"My lord, my subordinate's approach is to allow the fallen noble defenders of the mountain fortress to go back to visit their relatives in batches after the surrender of the three legions has surrendered, and use this as an opportunity to subdue them."
Ariel frowned and thought for a moment, then responded: "It is conceivable that these soldiers have been stationed in the mountain fortress for a period of time, and have gone through many bitter battles. They must be homesick. We only need to tell them that they can return home. Would be grateful."
After a pause, Ariel added: "After returning home, their family members have already stood by our side, and the result is self-evident."
"His Royal Highness is right."
The Marquis of Rose's elegant echo sounded: "These fallen noble defenders who were recruited all went out in accordance with the royal family's order."
"In theory, Her Royal Highness, who is a member of the royal family and has the right to inherit the throne, has absolute jurisdiction over them. It is completely reasonable to allow them to return home."
"Moreover, they also know that the mountain fortress is the eastern gate of the Cold Flame Kingdom, which is of great significance. Naturally, they will not slack off at will, otherwise their hometown will be the first to suffer."
"The most important thing is that when the mountain fortress was in crisis, their city lords chose to stand by and treat them as abandoned children."
"Only the well-planned lord and the brave princess stepped forward, regardless of their own safety, and saved them in the hands of the Holy Night Army, which has an overwhelming advantage in both number and combat power."
Only the Marquis of Rose smiled gracefully, and continued to talk eloquently: "Under the trade-offs, they are easier to subdue than the surrendered troops of the three legions."
"Perfect analysis."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and said to the two Kingdom generals on the other side of the conversation: "Bert, Jubai, what do you two think?"
As the kingdom's generals who have experienced many battles, Burt and Jubai are undoubtedly the people who understand the psychology of the soldiers best.
"Return to the lord, and the subordinates second."
Bert's old voice came over first: "During the offensive and defensive battle of the mountain fortress, the subordinates have already noticed that the defenders of the fallen nobles were all disappointed with their respective city lords, and instead looked towards the lord and the princess. Incredibly adored."
"My lord, my subordinates also agree with Her Royal Highness's approach."
The orange-white sassy and crisp voice rang out later: "However, in order to prevent a certain prince's spy from instigating it, I suggest that Her Royal Highness Princess go there in person to stabilize these fallen noble soldiers."
"Just what I want."
Lei Xiao snapped his fingers, nodded to Ariel who was standing beside him and said, "Then let's make the Mountain Fortress the first stop of the lecture tour tomorrow, and I will also discuss with Bai Lao about the Mountain Fortress." defense work."
"Obey! Please rest assured, my lord!"
Ariel bowed and saluted, confidently said: "Leave everything to the subordinates."
"I look forward to your excellent performance."
Lei Xiao nodded to Ariel, and concluded: "Okay, let's come to an end for the time being to discuss matters concerning the surrender of fallen nobles and the recruitment of defenders."
"By the way, I have one last thing to discuss with you all."
Lei Xiao seemed to hear something, and then he said, "That's about me, Princess Keqing, and Ariel's battle flag, since this place is completely under my control, it's natural to fly my own flag. "
"Hey, my lord, my subordinates have already thought about this matter."
Ariel smiled slightly, and suggested: "I think the black shadow of the devil, coupled with the gold that symbolizes dignity, is simply perfect!"
"As expected of Her Royal Highness, the old minister agrees with both hands."
Burt's old voice came out, agreeing.
"The subject also agrees! Her Royal Highness has really grown a lot."
The elegant voice of Marquis Rose followed.
Immediately afterwards, other subordinates who were present and read the words also echoed one after another, obviously they all agreed with this proposal very much.
"Does it belong to my phantom battle flag? It's interesting."
Lei Xiao also nodded with satisfaction, and agreed: "Then it's settled. As for the specific design work, I will leave it to Ariel."
"Obey! Your lord!"
Hearing that Lei Xiao accepted her suggestion, Ariel's starry eyes were filled with joy, she nodded repeatedly and said, "Leave everything to my subordinates!"
Then, Lei Xiao led his subordinates to decide on the style of Ariel's exclusive battle flag, that is, a small golden princess crown was added on the head of the Lengyan Holy Lion, and a flash of light was added beside it, representing The light spell that Ariel is good at.
So far, the matter of designing the battle flag has also come to an end.
"Okay, let's end this meeting. All cities maintain the highest alert. If there is any emergency, report to me immediately."
Lei Xiao waved his hand, and said to the reader: "As for the trusted managers of the cities who did not attend the meeting, the members of the Shadow Squadron will notify them on their behalf."
"Obey! Your lord!"
The uniform response of all the subordinates rang out.
After the meeting ended, Lei Xiao just wanted to go upstairs to rest when Xue Ya and Fa Xia greeted him.
"My lord, after two days of hard work, the two subordinates have successfully refined a third-order potion!"
I saw Xueya and Faxia's faces were full of excitement, and they bowed to Lei Xiao together in salute.
After speaking, the two of them handed a small brocade box respectfully to Lei Xiao.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Looking at the two territorial alchemists whose faces were filled with excitement, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows as he took the brocade box.
In the past few days, I have devoted all my energy to dealing with the war and post-war affairs, but I have neglected the matter of refining potions.
"Since yesterday morning, the war in the territory has come to an end. Presumably the two of them started refining at that time?"
Lei Xiao looked at the Shuangyue Condensation Pill and the Star Pattern Magic Pill in his hands, and nodded with satisfaction.
"During the offensive and defensive battle of the territory and the subsequent offensive and defensive battle of Kongqing Town, the third-tier half-elven wolf cavalry squadron played a great role."
"Not only did a large number of traditional aristocratic spies be eliminated, so that the opponent hardly obtained any useful information, but also at the first moment of the counterattack, they collectively beheaded the commanders at all levels of the traditional aristocrats who surrounded the territory, which made the opponent's situation chaotic. A solid foundation has been laid."
"And these two potions that have just begun to be refined will undoubtedly make the territory have one or two more teams of third-tier powerhouses, or one or two fourth-tier powerhouses!"
In addition to being overjoyed, Lei Xiao seemed to have remembered something, and frowned slightly.
"By the way, I only obtained two refining materials for the two types of potions, and these two are already the product of Xueya and Fasha's second alchemy."
"In other words, if there is no quantitative change in this upgrade, and then part of it is broken down, then I have to start collecting these extremely rare alchemy materials again."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao did not hesitate, and decisively started the upgrade.
