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

Chapter 637 Before the Storm Comes

I saw Lei Xiao pick up the [Ember Eye], motioning for Lina to come forward to get it, and said with a faint smile: "Originally, I planned to give this to you, but now it has an extra layer of meaning. Consider it your promotion gift."

"On the ring body, are there looming space system energy fluctuations and death energy?"

Lina took the light golden ring inlaid with gray and black gemstones in both hands, with a look of joy on her face, and said excitedly: "Lord, this is a storage ring that has a bonus to necromancy?!"

"Exactly, let's play with it." Lei Xiao still maintained a gentle smile and nodded slightly.

"I am extremely grateful to the lord. The lord is the sunshine that shines on me!" Lina, holding the ring, said happily again.

Looking at Lina's excited wheat-colored delicate cheeks, Lei Xiao casually opened the other party's attribute bar.

[Name: Lina]

[Occupation: Necromancer]

[Level: Level 4, One Star]

【Loyalty: 100】

[Skill 1: Summoning undead beasts "active" (summoning undead beasts from the bones of monsters, the number is related to one's own magic power)]

[Skill 2: Continuous Bone Explosion Technique "Active" (dark attribute spell wide area attack, additional powerful splashing effect)]

[Skill Three: Multiple Bone Spear Technique "Active" (dark attribute spell group attack, additional piercing effect)]

[Skill 4: The undead beast strengthens "active" (strengthens the undead beast's full capabilities)]

[Skill Five: Mandela Bloodline "Passive" (slightly improves the effect of using illusions, poison spells, and necromancy, moderately increases the resistance to illusions, poison spells, and necromancy)]

[Skill 6: Necromancer "Passive" (when using necromancy, the damage will be moderately increased, and when controlling the necromancer, the ability of the necromancer will be moderately improved)]

"Good fellow, has the Bone Explosion Technique that I originally mastered turned into a stronger Continuous Bone Explosion Technique? And there is also a Multiple Bone Spear Technique."

Lei Xiao's gaze moved on the translucent attribute bar in front of him, while he murmured to himself: "Not bad, not bad, this girl has obviously become more ferocious."

After closing the attribute bar, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then said: "Lina, there must be a large number of monster skeletons in the forests around the territory. Summon a thousand first-level undead beasts as soon as possible to prepare for it. Just in case of emergencies.”

"I obey! Lord, please rest assured!"

Lina smiled confidently and immediately bowed to accept the order: "When I returned to the territory in the morning, my subordinates happened to find a cave at the foot of the mountain. It is perfect to store undead beasts there!"

"Very good. When you leave the territory, ask the old butler Ward to arrange for a third-level maid who is familiar with the surrounding terrain to accompany you."

Looking at Lina's energetic look, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

Just as Lina left happily, two alchemists, Xue Ya and Fasha, knocked on the door politely.

"Lord Qi, this is the first time for this subordinate to refine third-level magic potions alone, so he is not very proficient yet... At present, only half of the alchemy process has been completed."

I saw Xue Ya's fair and translucent face, full of shyness and uneasiness, as she bowed to report.

"Lord, the same goes for your subordinates. Although they have long expected the complexity of the third-level magic potion and are mentally prepared, they are still a little confused when it comes to refining it."

Faxia also scratched his frizzy short hair and echoed in embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter, just go all out."

Seeing that both of them looked tired and with weak magic power, Lei Xiao smiled and waved his hands.

Lei Xiao had already expected this.

According to previous understanding, even in the cold flame alchemy world, Carsley, the well-known vice president of the Gelin City Alchemist Guild, can only make one piece of his best third-level magic potion a day.

As for Xue Ya and Faxia, although they were one level higher than the former in terms of strength, they were both refining third-level potions for the first time. In terms of experience, they obviously could not compare with their counterparts who had been refining them for most of their lives.

Therefore, being able to complete half of the alchemical process in one day is naturally a very impressive achievement.

After that, Lei Xiao followed the plan and upgraded the storage rings of Xue Ya, Faxia, Ariel, Bert, and Ju Bai.

Among them, the third-level storage rings of Xue Ya, Faxia, Bert, and Ju Bai all increased by a hundredfold, leaving Lei Xiao with 420 rings left after giving each of them two brand new rings.

Ariel's storage ring, which was originally the fourth level, was directly upgraded to the fifth level this time, causing the space to change from the original 100 cubic meters to 500 cubic meters.

In addition, because Ariel's fourth-level storage ring is a rare and rare equipment, it originally has the effect of enhancing light attribute magic. After upgrading to the fifth level, this effect has been further strengthened.

"Thank you very much, Lord Lord!"

Caressing the fifth-level storage ring that Lei Xiao had just handed over, the joy on Ariel's delicate cheeks was beyond words, and she quickly gave a big gift to Lei Xiao.

On the side, Bert and Ju Bai also had the same expressions and lowered their heads deeply towards Lei Xiao.

"Everyone, get up."

Lei Xiao raised his hand to the three of them, smiled and said.

When the three of them stood up, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Everyone, what do you think of the future situation?"

"Back to my lord, after visiting various places with my lord this day, my subordinates have already felt some of the atmosphere of war."

I saw Bert bowing slightly to Lei Xiao first, and said seriously: "In addition, the city lords from all over the country all mentioned a piece of news today, that is, the three princes originally only ignited in the royal capital and surrounding areas. The power war has gradually spread to other areas outside the royal capital."

"Senior Bert is right. When he left the Royal Capital, several affiliated cities around the Royal Capital had already started large-scale battles at the legion level, making the area around the Royal Capital often filled with smoke."

The orange-white eyebrows frowned, and he added sultryly: "However, because Mr. Wu, who is loyal to the old king, controls the strength of the eight legions and often intervenes, there are mostly small-scale casualties and they have not developed into a life-and-death fight. Fight to the death.”

"To be precise, although Uncle Wu has received the instruction from his father and has the command of the eight legions, there are currently only six legions stationed inside and outside the royal capital. Bai Lao and his fortress legion are in the mountain fortress, and Feng Feng The Blade Legion is stationed in the Far North Fortress together with my Third Princess."

Ariel moved lightly, shook her head helplessly and said: "Lord, what is certain is that under the deterrence of the six legions, the three king brothers under me are lawless with swords. Let alone other places where the six major legions cannot intervene.”

After hearing what Ariel said, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

The fortress legion commanded by Bai Lao had been seen before during the offensive and defensive battles of the fortress.

Whether it is the overall combat power or morale, it is indeed higher than the ordinary garrison army, by more than one level.

However, due to the lack of important supplies such as equipment and soldiers after many battles with the Holy Night Army, the combat power of this elite army, which originally had at least second-level equipment, has declined a lot.

Bringing his thoughts back to reality, Lei Xiao took a deep breath and said slowly: "I understand what you mean. Just as I expected, the war of power may spread to the area where we are at any time. Eastern Region.”

"Lord, that's exactly what it is."

Ariel looked solemn and said solemnly: "Moreover, the situation in our area is more complicated. Although it is almost certain that there is no large-scale power of the Four Princes in this area, but..."

At this point, Ariel lowered her eyebrows and murmured softly: "But after all, the thorn in the side of these prince brothers is still in Kongqing Town, plus the victory in the fortress offensive and defensive battle a few days ago... …”

"Don't worry, when the war begins, it will be the time when the name of Leng Yan's fifth princess, Queen Ariel, resounds throughout Leng Yan and even the human nations."

Looking at Ariel's worried look, Lei Xiao smiled faintly, stood up from his seat, and said: "I will do my best to fulfill my original promise and help you board the cold flame. of the throne.”

"I would like to thank you very much, Lord!"

Ariel's delicate cheeks were full of gratitude, and she said excitedly: "In this way, those innocent Lengyan people who have been involved in the vortex of power disputes will not have to suffer the torment of war for no reason!"

After listening to Ariel's words, Lei Xiao just kept smiling and made no other guarantees or promises.

Currently, the situation in the eastern region of Lengyan where the territory is located is complicated.

In addition to the eldest prince with Songluo City as the center and the second prince headed by Tiegebao, these two forces with heavy troops, there is also the Holy Night Kingdom from the outside who is eyeing it.

The most important thing is that there has been no news about the mysterious organization that has been hidden in the dark and unpredictable, just like the calm before the storm.

Moreover, according to the information currently available, the eldest prince and the third prince both have expert help behind them.

If one of them is a mysterious organization, then who is the other? It’s simply terrifying to think about.

But what is certain is that the forces that can stand behind a certain prince and help him fight for the throne are obviously huge beasts, not ordinary people.

Lei Xiao couldn't help but take a deep breath again, with a solemn look on his face.

Although after a series of previous actions, the size of his troops has now reached a level that can compete with either of the two princes, but it is only limited to this area.

In the face of internal and external troubles, he obviously does not have enough confidence to defeat the opponent 100%.

There is even less certainty that the entire area can be fully captured quickly after the war is won.

If he had not quickly taken control of the entire area and heavily defended Wangxing City on the Stargazing Corridor, what he would have faced would undoubtedly have been a crazy counterattack by the two princes from other regional forces.

The most critical thing is that in this process, the return of the Holy Night Kingdom and the sudden appearance of the mysterious organization cannot be ruled out. These are unforeseen adverse variables.

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

Ariel, Orange Bai, and Bert in front of them also had solemn expressions on their faces.

The three people who once stood at the core of Leng Yan's power clearly understood.

These city lords from various places, whether they are traditional nobles that have been inherited since the era of the Hero King, or new nobles that have emerged in the past three hundred years.

Although most of them imposed heavy taxes in their respective fiefdoms for their own benefit, and retained the abolition of the serfdom system, they were also extravagant, regardless of the life and death of the common people at the bottom.

But without exception, they have received the most elite education in the kingdom and have the help of capable people and strangers. The heritage left by the family for generations cannot be underestimated.

In other words, although these enemies live a life of luxury and extravagance, they are not pedantic and incompetent, but are cunning and deceitful. Even their own strength is often unparalleled in the fiefdom, and they are by no means someone who can be defeated casually.

Feeling the uneasiness of the three of them, Lei Xiao couldn't help but frowned slightly, but then he relaxed again.

"No matter what, the battlefield is full of uncertainty all the time."

"And now, before the storm of war comes, the power I control has almost reached the maximum limit that I can currently possess. Next, it depends on how to make a move."

"Once the war begins, it will be a huge battlefield with 100,000 or even 200,000 soldiers fighting. Although such a huge scale is still a bit difficult for me to control now..."

"But fortunately, I not only have battlefield veterans such as Burt, Orange White, and Benson, but also wise ministers and management talents such as Ariel, Rose Marquis, Hodder, and Orr, not to mention As fifth-level powerhouses, Huzhang, Hongye and other subordinates with their own characteristics."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao walked up to the three of them, nodded to them in turn and said, "As long as we work together, we will be invincible!"

Hearing the sound, Ariel, Bert, and the orange-white faces also had a look of excitement on their faces, and they nodded heavily.

"Okay, you can just stay in the territory these days. I have already asked Lin to make an illusion in Kongqing Town that the princess is still in power. Moreover, the main palace of Kongqing Town, which is protected by the detection barrier, has also You will not be exposed to the prying eyes of enemy spies casually.”

Looking at the increasingly firm eyes of the three people, Lei Xiao said again: "Go back and rest. Before the war comes, we must always maintain sufficient energy."

"As you command! Lord Lord!"

The three of them touched their chests and saluted together, then bowed and left.

After the three people left, Lei Xiao returned to his seat again, with a faint smile appearing on his face.

Today during the day, while traveling to various territories, I also made an extremely important deployment.

And this will undoubtedly further enhance your hopes of winning.
