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

Chapter 678 Shadow and the Coming Challenge

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Under the dim light and shadow, the tone of the man in black robe No. 7 clearly brought out a touch of excitement. He nodded repeatedly and said: "With your three powerful trump cards, you can indeed easily plunge these two opponents into an endless abyss!"

"Jie Jie Jie, that's natural."

The corners of the Nightmare Knight's hazy mouth curved upward in a strange arc, and he sneered: "As long as we help the second prince control this area, we will be close to controlling the entire Leng Yan."

"Your Majesty is right. As long as we control the Cold Flame Kingdom, our sacred plan will be implemented more smoothly."

The tall and burly body of the man in black robe No. 7 trembled, and he also laughed loudly.

After a moment, the voice of the man in black robe No. 7 revealed a trace of doubt again, and asked: "Sir, when the organization supported His Highness the Second Prince before, it was always secretly. Why is it sending you to directly lead the new nobles this time? Force, fight with the White Knight?"

"Old Qi, you have to understand one thing. In the final analysis, the second prince is just a pawn in the hands of the organization. The reason why we still respect him is because his role has not been lost. After all, I have been waiting for him in Leng Yan before. The reason why things are going smoothly is because he is secretly mediating in the capital."

The Nightmare Knight's tone was flat, as if he was talking about an insignificant object: "That stupid guy thought he was using the organization. In fact, it was just the opposite. The organization was using him. As long as he was sent to the throne, he would control the entire world. Cold Flame Kingdom, he will immediately turn into a doll that only obeys orders."

After a pause, the Nightmare Knight spoke again: "As for why the organization sent me to appear directly in the open war, the reason is actually very simple, that is, according to the current situation, only if we control the Cold Flame Kingdom, Only then can we better implement the divine plan.”

"oh?"

When the Nightmare Knight said this, the confusion in the voice of the man in black robe No. 7 became more and more obvious, and he asked again: "Then why didn't the organization do this from the beginning?"

"Old Qi, you really have a lot of questions, but I'm in a good mood now, so it doesn't hurt to tell you."

The Nightmare Knight, who was leaning on the throne, held his thin chin with one hand and responded: "Before this, there are three reasons why the organization has not appeared in the public eye."

"First, it is because if the action is too explicit, it will affect the attention of some large neutral forces. After all, considering the overall situation, the organization's scope of action covers all human countries. Naturally, it cannot disrupt the entire kingdom just because of a cold flame kingdom. checkerboard."

"Secondly, it's because King Leng Yan has the old immortal standing guard. Ordinary fifth-level powerhouses are no match for him. Attacking blindly will only increase casualties."

"The third and most important reason is that in addition to nothing, it is said that the Leng Yan royal family also hides a very good trump card. This is also the most direct reason for the conflict between the organization Yan and the Leng Yan royal family. .”

Having said this, the Nightmare Knight lazily changed his withered hand to rest on his chin, and said leisurely: "If you have any questions, please ask before I feel bored."

"Yes, sir."

The man in black robe No. 7 hardly hesitated and immediately asked: "The first two points you mentioned can be understood by my subordinates, but regarding the third point, what kind of trump card does the Lengyan royal family have that they can even win such a big prize?" Are all the organizations concerned?"

"I don't know the specific content of this third point, but what is certain is that this secret is only in the hands of King Lengyan for generations."

The Nightmare Knight said bluntly: "From this, as long as the clever second prince is sent to the Throne of Cold Flames, everything will naturally become clear. This is also an important reason why the organization decided to take action directly. After all, at this stage, the organization is in the human race. The operations have more or less encountered some minor obstacles, and the organization’s frontline has been stretched too long.”

"Isn't this what's so scary about the organization? With its own strength, it has almost fought against the entire human race."

The man in black robe No. 7 pondered and nodded, his voice full of reverence and said: "This is a powerful strength that no force in the human world has."

"That's right. Those holy objects are distributed in every corner of the human kingdoms. Only in this way can they be collected as quickly as possible."

There was a touch of forlornness in the tone of the Nightmare Knight, and he said with a sinister smile: "As long as I can fully understand the secrets hidden in the holy objects, and then successfully open one of those doors, I am afraid that the entire human world will become like me. Waiting for the plaything in your hand, then it will be the time to execute the final step of the divine plan."

"I'm really looking forward to that moment!"

The words of the man in black robe No. 7 were full of expectation and longing, and he also said solemnly: "For that moment, all these opponents who are hindering us must be eliminated!"

At this point, the man in black robe No. 7 shook his head helplessly and said: "But just like what you said, our sacred plan has indeed been greatly hindered."

"This is another important reason why the organization decided to intervene in this power dispute."

The Nightmare Knight's voice gradually became gloomy, and he said solemnly: "You also participated in the big mission of the Holy Night Kingdom some time ago. I don't need to say more about that sudden scene, right?"

"I didn't expect that the neutral force, which has always been extremely low-key, would actually directly help the Holy Night Royal Family and the Moon Palace, catching me and others off guard. If they hadn't suddenly intervened, the final winner of that big mission would have been me!"

The man in black robe No. 7 nodded bitterly and said: "This undoubtedly shows that the sacred plan implemented by the organization has aroused the vigilance of this neutral force."

"Now that the other party has been alerted, the first concern will naturally disappear. As for the second concern, without that old immortal, it is indeed a big obstacle."

The withered fingers of the Nightmare Knight slid casually on the metal armrests of the throne: "But this dispute is no longer limited to the Royal Capital. As long as you stay away from the Royal Capital, it is almost impossible for the opponent to appear, and once you get near the Royal Capital, the organization I will send strong men of equal strength to deal with Wu."

Having said this, the Nightmare Knight snorted disdainfully and said contemptuously: "Actually, if I want to go all out, with all the trump cards, I may not be at a disadvantage. It's just that the precious things like trump cards are at a critical moment. It’s just for use, I don’t want to waste it on that guy.”

"My subordinates are naturally very aware of your strength."

The man in black robe No. 7 nodded quickly and said flatteringly: "As long as the adults take action, the situation of this battle will be certain."

After a pause, the man in black robe No. 7 sighed again and said: "It's a pity that some powerful people in the organization are temporarily unable to take action directly due to some special reasons, otherwise our plan would not be so passive. "

"Be thankful. It is precisely because of these reasons that the organization is currently short of manpower. As a result, you, who have failed many times, were lucky enough not to be punished by the organization."

The condescending Nightmare Knight glanced at the man in black robe No. 7, and Feng Qingyun said calmly: "However, this dilemma will not last forever. Except for the Kingdom of Cold Flame and the Kingdom of Holy Night, although there have been some obstacles, But the process of collecting sacred objects in other countries has entered the final stage one after another."

"When the manpower is freed up, everything can get back on track. By then, it will be too late for you to make up for your mistakes."

Having said this, the Nightmare Knight raised his eyelids hidden in the shadows and said calmly: "You should understand what I mean, right?"

"Sir, I understand very well!"

The man in black robe No. 7 immediately heard the meaning of the Nightmare Knight's words, and quickly bowed and said: "My subordinates will definitely make up for their mistakes. In this battle, I will do my best to help you win!"

"Then it depends on your performance. You can hide among my undead guards for the time being. Even other fifth-level powerful men will not be able to detect your aura."

The Nightmare Knight nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "I hope that you, who appear as the fourth trump card, will not disappoint me."

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely go all out. It's time to make that princess pay the price for obstructing my actions."

After finishing speaking, the man in black robe No. 7 and the Nightmare Knight looked at each other, and then both laughed heartily.

For a moment, unbridled laughter reverberated in the tent.

However, since the entire black tent had already been enveloped by the Nightmare Knight's rich death aura, the ordinary soldiers outside obviously could not hear any noise.

Under the moonlit night, except for the occasional crisp sound of armor clashing from the heavily armored skeletons patrolling around the tent, everything remained silent, as if nothing had happened.

…

The quiet moonlit night passed by in a flash.

When Lei Xiao opened his eyes again, the warm dawn light had already shone on the bed through the gaps in the golden silk curtains.

Looking at the specks of light on the quilt, Lei Xiao rubbed his sleepy eyes and began his daily practice.

Although he has reached the level of a double fourth-level expert, he does not need to refine magic potions for the time being.

However, according to the secret method of half-elf magic and martial cultivation taught by Jiang Lei, it is also a good way to mobilize and circulate the energy in the body every day.

When Lei Xiao opened his eyes again in high spirits, he got out of bed and started washing.

Not long after, Lei Xiao, neatly dressed, strode out of the spacious lord's suite.

"Is today the day when the war begins? In other words, it is an upcoming life-and-death challenge."

When I saw Lei Xiao walking in the corridor of the mansion, a look of solemnity appeared on his face.

Going straight to the lord's office, Lei Xiao followed the usual practice and first received 5 new second-level recruitment orders and 1 return crystal.

Then, he skillfully upgraded and decomposed all the iron ingots produced yesterday by the 10 lords, including himself.

Because the reserves of iron ingots have exceeded that of copper ingots by a lot.

Therefore, Lei Xiao ordered the other nine lords to produce copper ingots with all their strength and traded all the corresponding resources.

Lei Xiao also quickly arranged his own production sequence, and upgraded all the output of the Gelin City Alchemist Guild yesterday.

"My potion reserves are becoming more and more abundant, which will definitely further enhance the soldiers' combat capabilities and survivability."

Gently patting the seemingly ordinary wooden storage box, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

After that, Lei Xiao, who was holding a black tea cup, had just finished listening to the name of the dishes from the old butler Ward.

The prompt for rapid recitation rang.

After answering the call, Nan Xing's crisp voice immediately reached Lei Xiao's ears: "Lord Qi, the three infantry regiments of the prince have just arrived at the camp converted from the village, and some of them are currently setting up camp. , and the other part went straight to yesterday's cavalry battlefield, with many fire magicians mixed in."

"Cleaning the battlefield? It's quite a wise decision."

Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

If such a large-scale battlefield is not cleaned up in time, it will undoubtedly cause a lot of unnecessary troubles, and the collected equipment can be used again.

As for the battlefield during the attack and defense of Kongqing Town, Lei Xiao had already ordered Lin, Guanzhong and others to clean it up.

"Lord, as for the infantry regiment of the second prince, according to the investigation of my subordinates, it will probably not arrive around Kongqing Town until noon."

Just listen to Nan Xing's rustling voice, coming from the words again.

"I understand, continue to monitor closely."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly and then stopped talking.

"The time difference between the arrival of the two infantry regiments was only half a day. In addition, the White Knight had already lost its troops and took the opportunity to clean up the battlefield."

"Thus, while the main infantry legion of the Nightmare Knight has not yet arrived, the possibility of the White Knight taking the initiative to attack is almost zero."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao stepped out of the door of the lord's mansion and continued to think.

"In other words, the battle is likely to start in the afternoon or evening, right?"

I saw Lei Xiao who came to the open space in front of the mansion, thinking this while taking out Rolandel and starting to practice sword skills.

It wasn't until the aroma of butter wafted faintly from the territory that Lei Xiao sheathed his sword and walked toward the canteen with his subordinates.

After eating and drinking, Lei Xiao held a simple morning meeting and reported in detail the current movements of the two opponents to his subordinates.

It was in the hall of the lord's mansion that he began to carefully study the opponent's possible strategies and countermeasures on the sand table with the commanders and main subordinates.

This is undoubtedly the best way to deal with it before waiting for the battle to begin.

After all, this time, the troops did not have an advantage at all.

The plan he made was to rely on his powerful intelligence capabilities to wait for the opportunity, or to adapt to changes as he saw them.

That was it, until Lei Xiao, whose head was a little swollen after repeated deductions all morning, had a sumptuous lunch with his subordinates and returned to the mansion hall again.

The sudden reminder to recite words rang in Lei Xiao's ears again.

What came this time was Nan Yue's crisp and slightly shy voice: "Lord Qi, the three infantry regiments that have just arrived from the Second Prince's forces suddenly made some unexpected moves..."

"Oh? Tell me carefully."

Hearing the sound, a look of curiosity and awe suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
