Lord of the People: My Talent is 100 Million Points Strong

"Oh? What are your orders, Your Excellency?"

Putting down the roasted frosted lamb leg that was sizzling with oil in his hands, Old Walter thought to himself that his greasy lips and long gray beard were filled with water vapor and became as clean as ever.

As a fourth-level eight-star great magician who has mastered water magic, it is naturally easy to clean himself.

The other two elderly magicians beside him also put down their meals, picked up the white magic cloth on the side, and wiped it back and forth on their hands.

It is worth mentioning that this kind of magic mouth cloth can only be used as daily necessities by the noble class.

Although it looks no different from an ordinary napkin, it is equipped with a cleaning spell that can completely wipe away the oil and stains on your hands and mouth, which is quite magical.

At the same time, Lei Xiao noticed.

Judging from the satisfied looks on the faces of the three old magicians, it is obvious that they are very satisfied with these delicacies.

"To be honest with Master Walter, this time, in addition to wanting to see the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group, Her Royal Highness also has a small commission. I hope Master Walter will not refuse."

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao waved to Gale on the side to temporarily evacuate the band, dancers and other casualties in the banquet hall, and said with a smile.

"Oh? It is an honor for our Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group to be entrusted by Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Hearing the sound, old Walter's wrinkled old face did not show any waves, and he also responded with a faint smile.

Regarding this, the old magician had already anticipated this.

Although the guest minister in front of me treated him very appropriately, it was obviously not possible for Her Royal Highness the Princess to invite these mercenaries here just for a meal and a drink.

Immediately afterwards, another look of doubt appeared on old Walter's old face.

Currently, there are many strong people around Her Royal Highness. In addition to the powerful fifth-level strongman and two kingdom generals, there are also two fourth-level strongmen and a powerful woman with unknown strength.

Moreover, Her Royal Highness the Princess herself has reached the fourth level. Such strength is undoubtedly extremely terrifying.

With such a powerful team, why do we still hire mercenaries like them who use people's money to help others eliminate disasters?

Immediately, Old Walter seemed to realize something, and he stroked his gray beard and added with a smile: "However, the first rule of our Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group is to never participate in power disputes between powerful people, and also to Please forgive me, Your Excellency."

After speaking, Old Walter's heart felt a little sudden again.

Just as I thought just now, there are so many strong people around Her Royal Highness the Princess. Once she offends this member of the royal family and the unfathomable young guest in front of her, I'm afraid they will be left with nothing to eat.

Thinking of this, the smile on old Walter's face suddenly became a little unnatural.

"Master Walter is overly worried. Her Royal Highness and I will naturally not force others to do anything."

Seeing what the old magician was thinking at a glance, Lei Xiao continued to maintain a faint smile and said: "This mission has nothing to do with power disputes, but an extremely simple guardianship mission."

"I see, what we mercenaries are best at is guarding tasks."

Hearing this, Old Walter secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a happy face again: "I wonder what the specific mission is?"

"Garrisoned at the Hillfort Fortress."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao shook the goblet in his hand and said bluntly.

"War mission?!"

After listening to Lei Xiao's simple words, not only the old Walter himself, but also the other two old magicians and other strong mercenaries beside him showed shocked expressions.

You know, apart from power disputes, war missions have the highest death rate among mercenaries!

Moreover, it is the mountain fortress in the border area that is already in danger!

"Your Excellency, guest minister, you are a bit pushy."

After a while, Walter, the wrinkled old magician, tried his best to put on an ugly smile and said: "To be honest with you, I already know something about the current situation in the Mountain Castle Fortress."

After considering his words, Old Walter continued: "At this stage, under the pressing pressure of the eight legions of the invading Holy Night Army, the 30,000 defenders of our Lengyan Mountain Fortress and two other small fortresses, although He was extremely brave and did not back down, but he had already reached a critical point.

In this extremely unfavorable situation, even if we accept the commission from Her Royal Highness the Princess, we are unable to change the overall situation! "

"Yes, yes. On the surface, the number of enemies and us is three to eight. If converted into combat power ratio, it must be at least three to twelve. In this case, even if we join, it will be a drop in the bucket! "

Master Phil, who was wearing a red magic robe on the side, also frowned and echoed.

Hearing this, other strong mercenaries also nodded quickly.

You must know that the battlefield is different from the one-on-one duels and small-scale fierce battles between strong men.

Even a nation-level fifth-level warrior who can defeat ten thousand with one enemy and whose strength is astonishing will always run out of energy until he reaches exhaustion when faced with well-trained first-level legion-sized soldiers.

Therefore, compared to a strong individual like a strong person.

On the battlefield, the real test is the strategy and layout of a general or decision-maker.

The key to victory is only to use every trump card in your hand to reduce the opponent's morale, or to annihilate the opponent's strength, until you give the opponent a heavy blow that can break your muscles and bones. .

To sum up, these mercenaries, who are better at small-scale team combat, do play an extremely limited role on large-scale battlefields.

What's more, judging from the news we have received so far, we are still in an extremely passive position.

For a moment, the mercenaries who realized this all shook their heads and sighed, and at the same time, a sad look appeared on their faces.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lei Xiao had an expected expression.

Needless to say, the victory report of this morning's battle that lasted from night to day has obviously not reached the ears of these mercenaries.

"When I left the mountain fortress, I told Mr. Bai to disseminate the victory report of this battle as soon as possible through the magic stations in various places.

As for the main content, it was because of the appearance of Ariel, the fifth princess of Leng Yan, that the defenders defeated the invading Holy Night Army and wiped out most of the enemies. "

Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao continued to think: "In this way, while improving Ariel's reputation and appeal, it will naturally facilitate my next series of actions."

"All in all, according to Bert and Jubai's estimation, even if the mercenaries receive the news slower than the official, it should be about the same. If that's the case, then let me tell them first. "

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao first took a sip of the astringent but sweet wine, and then said leisurely: "Everyone, I guess you haven't gotten the latest news on the border battlefield, right?"

"The latest news on the border battlefield?"

Hearing the sound, Old Walter looked at each other out of habit with the other two old magicians, and then said doubtfully: "Your Excellency, please make it clear."

"In the early hours of this morning, when it was still dark, eight legions of the Holy Night Army came out in full force and launched a fierce attack on the mountain fortress and two surrounding small fortresses."

Shaking a third of the rose-colored champagne in his hand, Lei Xiao smiled lightly.

"What?!"

As soon as Lei Xiao said this, he immediately caused an uproar among the mercenaries.

You must know that the opponent's commander is the famous general Red Devil of the Holy Night Kingdom. He is cautious by nature but likes to secretly make killing moves. He never fights an uncertain battle.

From this, it can be seen that the thirty thousand Leng Yan Army stationed there are obviously in danger.

Realizing this, all the mercenaries, including the three old magicians, couldn't help but shook their heads and sighed.

However, just a moment later, the old faces of Old Walter and the other three people became confused again.

Now that the matter has come to this, why did this young guest bring up the commission of garrisoning the mountain fortress?

"Three masters, you must be very confused now."

After drinking all the wine in the glass, Lei Xiao picked up the glass bottle on the dinner plate next to him and slowly poured it for himself, while continuing: "Now I will solve the confusion in your hearts."

Putting down the glass bottle, Lei Xiao raised his glass again, made a gesture of clinking glasses to the three of them, and then said with a smile: "To be honest with you, that is the final result of this fortress attack and defense battle. It is the invading Holy Spirit." The night army was defeated, and I, Leng Yan, destroyed at least five of the opponent's legions at the cost of eight thousand casualties!"

After Lei Xiao finished speaking, all the mercenaries were silent, and time seemed to have stopped.

Only the trio of foodies in the corner were still busy cooking in silence.

At this moment, the hearts of the mercenaries were already filled with countless question marks.

Judging from previous intelligence, we only have one main force legion and two miscellaneous legions. Due to the delay in the arrival of reinforcements, morale is still quite low.

The other side has three main legions and five miscellaneous legions, and their morale is high.

In this situation where the combat power between the enemy and ourselves is extremely disparate, we actually destroyed five of the opponent's legions with only 8,000 casualties? ! What's more, the opponent's coach is still the famous Red Devil of Holy Night?

This is simply a fantasy!

For a moment, pairs of obscure and complex eyes were projected towards Lei Xiao.

Is this guest mad? How could you say such unrealistic words? Could it be that they are trying to trick us into signing an employment contract?

After another exchange with the other two old magicians, old Walter's old face finally squeezed out a forced smile and said: "Your Excellency, please stop joking..."

Having said this, Old Walter was stunned and seemed to realize something.

As his slightly cloudy old eyes moved, he first glanced at Ariel, who was still eating gracefully not far away, and then at the knotweed that had been lingering behind Lei Xiao.

Then he said in disbelief: "Your Excellency, Guest Minister, were you and Her Royal Highness the Princess on the border battlefield at that time?!"

"Deputy commander, what are you thinking about?"

Hearing this, the somewhat impatient fire magician Old Phil blew his gray beard and couldn't help but said: "Even with the help of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Your Excellency Ke Qing and Your Excellency Tiger Sticks, it is impossible to achieve such a great success." Victory, after all, the disparity in strength between the enemy and us is too great."

"Yes, such a great victory can definitely be recorded in the history of Leng Yan. I am afraid that even many famous generals in Leng Yan's history cannot achieve it."

On the other side, Old Swell, the great earth magician, whose gray eyebrows were about to knit together, also echoed: "Even if a legion is separated to contain the fifth-level powerhouse, the opponent will still have an overwhelming advantage. , not to mention, the red devil old monster must have a trump card in his hand that can completely change the situation of the battle."

Hearing the sound, the other mercenaries also nodded.

"What do you mean, my princess's guest is talking nonsense?"

At this time, Ariel moved lightly and walked to Lei Xiao's side. Dai Mei frowned slightly and said: "I have just said that my guest, my guest, represents me with full authority. If you say so, Are you also questioning this princess?"

"Your Highness the Princess said something serious, we had absolutely no intention of doing so."

Hearing this, the three old magicians and the mercenaries quickly bowed again and objected repeatedly.

They naturally maintained a considerable degree of awe for this royal member from the Lengyan royal family.

What's more, beside Princess Leng Yan, there is an unfathomable young guest minister and a fifth-level powerhouse.

"Your Highness, just leave this to me. After all, Master Walter and others don't know us very well, so it is quite normal for us to have such doubts."

Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao said in a matter-of-fact manner.

There is no doubt that in the face of these mercenaries who work for money and are not familiar with them, what Lei Xiao needs to do is to give both kindness and power.

And it is undoubtedly the best choice to be a good person with Ariel and a bad person when you are drunk.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

With a slight snort, Ariel shook her head, which had put on the small crown for some time, and walked away leisurely.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for helping us to escape the siege."

As soon as Ariel left, the three old magicians came close to Lei Xiao and thanked him one after another, stroking their chests.

However, even though they seemed to have a rather low profile, the old eyes of the three people clearly still shone with looming suspicion.

The other strong mercenaries also had distrustful looks on their faces. While eating the food on the table in front of them, they pricked up their ears and were always paying attention to the development of the matter.

"You're welcome, here's a toast to you all."

After noticing this, Lei Xiao did not continue the topic just now, but began to sip the fine wine in the cup.

After a while, Walter suddenly made a gesture of covering his ears, which was obviously a magical communication.

Immediately afterwards, a touch of disbelief came to his old cheeks, and he blurted out: "What? Are you telling me again?!"
