Chapter 994: Lord's Joy and Worry

In the magnificent hall of the City Lord's Mansion in Fort Kell, Lei Xiao was standing in front of a group of Shanglu elders and noble subordinates, listening to suggestions on how to deal with the other two giants.

Lei Xiao clearly understands that even though he successfully opened the gateway to the capital and paved the way for Ariel to the throne, if the 250,000 follow-up reinforcements from the two giants are not resolved, Ariel will not be able to return. Really rule the entire cold flame kingdom.

This is not only because of the 250,000 giants who are still on the way, but also because of the two giants, Lancaster and Yorkman, who have just been defeated by themselves.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

After all, these two giants ruled the vast western region of Lengyan and the southern region of Lengyan respectively. If they are not handled properly, they will undoubtedly face another war.

As for the remaining 100,000 fallen noble coalition forces, there is nothing to worry about. They were formed in a hurry from various cities. They have little trust with each other and are extremely loose. It is a breeze to pack them up.

"Your Excellency, although under your wise and mighty leadership, we have successfully subdued Fort Kell and defeated the 400,000 troops in the Fourth Prince City, but on average, the strength of the Lancaster and Yorkman families is just More than half of it was damaged, but it was not fatal."

Keane narrowed his old eyes slightly, stroked his gray beard lightly and said, "This means that the opponent still has the strength to fight, and he won't be defeated at the first touch."

"In this case, although with our current combat power, we can forcibly regain the western and southern regions, but it will definitely make more land and people displaced, and further plunge the Lengyan Kingdom into a quagmire."

Old Keen sighed lightly, and concluded: "To sum up, the old man thinks that leaving aside the supply issues such as money and food, it is not the best policy to use weapons again."

"What Elder Keen said is absolutely true."

The clear sound of armor colliding sounded, and the burly Huo De stepped forward, first gave a standard knight salute to Lei Xiao, and then analyzed: "After this series of fierce internal battles, our Lengyan Kingdom Its strength has declined sharply, and it will be coveted by other surrounding countries."

"In particular, my Lengyan Kingdom extends in all directions, located in the center of the human kingdoms, bordering the Pars Empire in the north, the Kingdom of Grimm in the west, the Grassland Kingdom in the south, and the Holy Night Kingdom in the east. The terrain is extremely unfavorable. , resulting in an extremely scattered defensive force."

"It is also difficult for recruits recruited in a hurry to form combat effectiveness quickly. Even with the blessing of powerful equipment, it is difficult to resist the well-trained army of the enemy country. After all, these four countries are all called tigers and wolves, and each has the strength to destroy the country. .

When Huo De said this, Ning Mei concluded: "So in the long run, we should find a way to take over the 250,000 elite troops of these two giants and strengthen our own strength instead of forcibly crushing them."

After Keane and Huo De finished talking, other elders and noble subordinates also echoed one after another, which obviously coincided with their thoughts.

"Surrender without fighting? Since the competitor standing in front of the throne is dead, there is indeed no point in continuing the war."

Lei Xiao stroked his chin lightly, agreeing with the two of them.

"Your Excellency, do you still remember what I told you about the fact that the Lancaster family is not stable? Several elders opposed Stone's approach, thinking that troops should not be sent to interfere with the royal power, and it is not right for you and the princess Your Highness is quite fond of it."

Nolan's eyes lit up, and he quickly saluted Lei Xiao, "I happen to be very close to one of the most prestigious opposition elders, and this elder is also in the Lancaster reinforcement team. Willing to be a lobbyist, contact this elder, let him persuade others to lead troops to surrender together!"

"Your Excellency Nolan, what you are talking about should be Elder Isaac of the Lancaster family?"

Keane nodded slightly, and agreed: "Elder Isaac is a representative of the upright faction of the Lancaster family. When I was stationed in the western border for training, I got a lot of help from Elder Isaac."

"Exactly, since Elder Keen also knows him, it will be much easier to handle. I am still worried that I will not be able to explain the stakes and will cause trouble for Your Excellency Ke Qing and His Royal Highness the Princess."

Nolan nodded, and couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

"Then the matter is settled like this. Elder Keen and Your Excellency Nolan will take the lead to deal with matters related to Lancaster. If Elder Isaac is willing to lead the troops to surrender, His Royal Highness and I will support him to become the new Lord Lancaster."

Lei Xiao snapped his fingers lightly, and then said to the two who just spoke: "Besides, Ariel and I will also participate in the whole process to show the importance Her Highness the Princess attaches to the Lancaster family."

The reason why Lei Xiao wanted to go to battle in person was just to make the whole thing more secure.

If Elder Isaac wants to be a real leader, he must become a direct subordinate. If he is not willing, then he can support someone who is willing.

All in all, Lei Xiao clearly understood that this matter was too important, and everything had to be perfect so that he could sit back and relax.

And after the Shanglu family surrendered and captured the Fort Kell, they already occupied more than half of the central area of Lengyan, leaving only a small number of cities of fallen nobles, as well as the royal capital and surrounding cities of the royal family.

"Those degenerate nobles will naturally look forward to surrender. So, after successfully stabilizing the Lancaster and Yorkman families, can I take Ariel straight to the royal capital?"

Thinking of this, a touch of uncontrollable joy flooded Lei Xiao's face.

This undoubtedly means that he is only one step away from fulfilling his original promise and sending this down-and-out princess to the highest throne!

"As long as Ariel is crowned successfully, not only will I be able to control the military strength and wealth of the entire kingdom, but I will also be able to use this to collect all the resources of the entire kingdom, including the royal family. This will be a key step for me to step into the sea of stars!"

"With the blessing of the resources of the whole country, not only will the lord's mansion and miracle buildings be upgraded soon, further strengthening the territory, but I will also obtain a large amount of equipment, potions, magic scrolls and other items, which are enough to equip a large number of soldiers !"

While jumping for joy in his heart, Lei Xiao couldn't help but wrinkled his brows again.

Just like what Huo De said just now, at this step, he has already stepped onto the grand stage of the entire human race, and has become the focus of attention of other countries.

Coupled with the special geographical location of the Cold Flame Kingdom and the sharp decline in strength, it is indeed enough to arouse the covetousness of other countries.

"If it's just coveting, there's still room for it. The key is that I'm afraid that I have become a confidant of the neighboring countries. A new war will be inevitable, and the other party will definitely strike first."

"In other words, there is not much time left for me to prepare. The whole territory of Lengyan is bordered by four countries, and there is also Luolong City facing the Outer Domain. The situation will undoubtedly be extremely unfavorable."

Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath, his eyes became more serious.

In the case of time constraints and limited development, it is still fully confident to deal with a neighboring country alone.

But once besieged on all sides, even if I am overpowered, I am afraid that I will be powerless.

After all, they need to divide their troops and refuse to defend, which will undoubtedly greatly disperse the already limited troops, and the land of the Lengyan Kingdom is so vast, it is impossible to support each other in the short term.

"However, it will take a certain amount of time to mobilize the army, and it is difficult to be silent. This is also applicable to other countries. It will always give me a certain amount of time to react."

"As for other threats, let's ignore them for the time being, such as the mysterious organization Black Abyss Brotherhood that seems to have been acting low-key recently."

Lei Xiao brought his thoughts back to reality, and his face became calm again.

Lei Xiao clearly understands that the war has just been won, and Ariel has not ascended the throne yet. As a leader, he naturally cannot transfer the pressure to his subordinates immediately, which will greatly affect the team's success. morale.

Therefore, what I need to do is to complete everything in the plan as quickly as possible, and then go all out to prepare for war.

"By the way, pay close attention to the movements of other countries, and report to me immediately if there is any trouble."

Seemingly inadvertently, Lei Xiao gave another instruction. UU reading

"Don't worry, Your Excellency."

Elder Thomas, who hadn't been able to get in the way, quickly began to express himself, patted his chest and said: "Our Shanglu family's intelligence network spreads all over the human kingdoms, and everything is under control."

"Very good. When His Royal Highness Ariel takes the throne, everyone present will be the greatest contributors."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, explained some miscellaneous matters, ended the meeting, handed over the command of Fort Kell to Orr and Lin, and told everyone to go back to rest.

After arranging everything, Lei Xiao returned to the territory temporarily with his main subordinates.

Since today's recruitment order has not yet been received, Lei Xiao plans to return to live in the territory, and then return to Fort Kell tomorrow morning. After all, with the blessing of the Jiangli teleportation circle, all this is just the blink of an eye.

Having just returned to the familiar lord's office, the first thing Lei Xiao did was to carefully inspect the newly obtained alchemy puppet.
