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

Chapter 752 The Lord’s Worry and Bai Lao’s Respect

"In addition, as I was worried about before, we cannot rule out the possibility that the Kingdom of Holy Night, which has been coveting this area, will take advantage of the situation and sneak in."

Lei Xiao's brows began to frown more and more, and the sleepiness that had just surged up suddenly subsided a bit.

Lei Xiao clearly understood that although he already controlled a quarter of the Cold Flame Kingdom, his troops were extremely limited and scattered.

Whether facing the Holy Night Kingdom, which is almost the same size as Leng Yan, or the eldest prince and second prince who still have an absolute advantage, he may still face annihilation at any time.

After all, the military strength under his command is except for the three organized legions of Fanyin City, Gelin City, and Luolong City.

There are only two independent knights left, the Lanleng Fort garrison, the Mountain Fort Fortress levy army led by Ju Bai, the soldiers of the Shanjing Principality, and the soldiers of Kongqing Town, Magnet Town and Mailan Town around the territory. Including the subordinates in the territory, the total cannot reach the size of three legions.

And even if they can barely make up six legions, due to the consumption of this battle and new soldiers not having time to replenish them, they will not be able to fully exert their full strength, and the overall combat strength will have to be reduced by 89%.

As for the two goblin legions commanded by Hongshi, they are currently guarding Luolong City leading to the outside world in place of Benson. However, the power of Shuiyue and Fenglong City cannot be mobilized for the time being due to the special terrain.

"The most important thing is that most of these combat forces are scattered throughout the 33 cities. Once they are all gathered, this eastern region, which is not yet completely stable, will immediately become chaotic."

"Furthermore, what I need to guard against are the Cold Flame hinterland faced by Wangxing City, the Holy Night Kingdom faced by the Mountain Fort Fortress, and the three external pass fortresses faced by Luolong City. They are still defended by separate troops."

"As long as one of these three passes falls, the opponent can march straight in, ignite the flames of war throughout the entire area, and easily wipe out these hard-won achievements of mine."

Lei Xiao looked at the dark ceiling in front of him and couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Controlling the Lengyan East is really just the beginning."

"Then again, everything I can do so far has been deployed, and the recruitment of new recruits in various places is also in full swing. This is undoubtedly the fastest way to directly increase our strength."

"At the same time, I have also ordered Randall to contact Donna in Red Arrow Town and start recruiting mercenaries in the entire area on a large scale."

"Through previous small-scale experiments in Red Arrow Town, it has been confirmed that with the contract constraints of the mercenary guild, the discipline of these mercenaries can still be relied on. As for the combat power, there are doubts, but it is better than nothing."

"As for the next thing, all I can do is wait and see what happens, and then take action as I see it."

Just as Lei Xiao was thinking with his eyebrows.

In the hinterland of the Cold Flame Kingdom and somewhere in the Holy Night Kingdom, two armies each numbering hundreds of thousands or even 200,000 were secretly gathering under the cover of night, heading towards the direction of Lei Xiao. Coming in a mighty way.

…

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the house, Lei Xiao, who had been tossing and turning almost all night, sat up from the bed, rubbing his eyes.

"Even when a powerful enemy is present and the territory is used as bait, my sleep quality has never been so bad. Maybe it's because I have completely gained control of the entire area and I am too excited?"

Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, then closed his eyes and concentrated on his daily practice.

After a while, Lei Xiao suddenly felt refreshed, got out of bed, and started to wash up and change clothes.

Not long after, the neatly dressed Lei Xiao stepped out of the lord's suite and walked towards the lord's office at the other end of the quaint corridor.

Arriving at the lord's office, Lei Xiao skillfully carried out daily tasks such as recruiting orders, receiving return crystals, and reverse reversal.

It is worth mentioning that although Qin Qian and other lords are still stationed in Wangxing City, Lei Xiao has arranged for Orr to be escorted in advance. As a great wind magician, he cast a spell to take Qin Qian and others back to the mountains quickly. The territory in the middle is naturally a piece of cake.

Therefore, this time there was no delay in reverse derivation.

"The copper and iron ingots needed to upgrade the mansion have already been enough. As for the only missing fine steel ingots, after plundering the whole area, there must be enough this time, right?"

"In other words, after upgrading the loot in each city, I will be able to upgrade the mansion to further expand the population and combat power!"

While overjoyed, Lei Xiao casually upgraded the potion produced by the Gelin City Alchemist Guild yesterday.

"In addition to going to various cities today to collect loot and accompany Ariel on her lecture tour, let's also take down the other two alchemist guilds in this area."

"In this way, my daily potion output will reach a new level! This is an important part for soldiers to exert stronger combat power and reduce casualties."

While Lei Xiao was thinking this, he decomposed 10 portions of two kinds of rare magic potion materials that were needed by Xue Ya and Faxia for alchemy to permanently enhance their strength, and then walked out of the office.

Next, Lei Xiao first had a sumptuous breakfast in the cafeteria with his subordinates.

Then, the main subordinates and commanders in the territory were gathered and regular meetings began.

"Today, all personnel in the territory still have only one mission, and that is to have a good rest."

On the throne in the mansion hall, Lei Xiao nodded to the territorial commanders in the lower positions, and then told Ward and Rudy: "The celebration banquet will be held on time tonight, so be sure to be prepared."

"As you command! Lord Lord!"

All the subordinates saluted and said in unison.

"Xueya, Faxia, these are the alchemy materials you need."

Signaling the two alchemists to come forward together, Lei Xiao handed over a large amount of rare potion materials that had just been decomposed to the two of them.

When the two of them returned to their original positions with great joy, Ariel stepped forward, bowed and said in salute: "Lord Qi, according to the results of yesterday's meeting, the design of your exclusive battle flag subordinates has been completed. "

After finishing her words, a neatly folded golden flag appeared on Ariel's delicate hand, and she respectfully handed it to Lei Xiao.

For Ariel, who has received Leng Yan's top elite education since she was a child and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, designing a flag is obviously not a difficult task.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Lei Xiao took over the battle flag and nodded expectantly.

You know, this is your own flag.

The place where this flag flutters is the place where you take shelter.

And on the battlefield, as long as this flag appears, it will undoubtedly represent the most elite force in the territory he leads!

In other words, this flag can not only frighten the enemy, but also bring hope to our own people!

Feeling the soft touch brought by the golden flag, Lei Xiao stood up from the throne and couldn't wait to stretch it out.

Immediately afterwards, a beautifully designed pattern was displayed in front of Lei Xiao.

In the middle of the golden flag, there is a tall human-shaped shadow painted entirely in black. It has two horns on its head and two wings on its back. It looks deep and difficult to fathom.

Only the pair of flaming red pupils on the black shadowed head are extremely eye-catching.

However, this image, which is clearly the shadow of the devil, gives people an inexplicable sense of mystery and sublimity because every line is perfect, the layout of the entire picture is just right, and it is full of artistic flavor. Like a fallen angel who fell into the mortal world.

After looking at the entire flag several times, Lei Xiao nodded with great satisfaction.

This is undoubtedly a perfect fit for his newly acquired nickname of "Shadow Lord"!

Seeing this scene, all the subordinates in the lower position also made a sound of admiration.

"Ariel, you did a great job. This will be my exclusive battle flag from now on."

Lei Xiao casually touched Ariel's head and smiled slightly.

"Great! As long as the lord is satisfied, my subordinates will be satisfied!"

After hearing that Lei Xiao had adopted her design, Ariel's fair and delicate face was filled with joy, and she quickly bowed and saluted.

At this moment, Lei Xiao, who was within easy reach of Ariel, noticed.

On Ariel's almost flawless cheeks, despite the decent makeup, there was still a faint layer of dark circles under her eyes. It seemed that she had been designing until very late yesterday, and then she came up with such a perfect battle flag pattern.

"Go to bed early from now on."

After whispering something in Ariel's ear, Lei Xiao slowly walked towards the throne, unfolded the flag in his hand, and solemnly said to the other subordinates at the bottom: "I declare that starting from today, this Wherever the war flag is flying, it is my territory and is under my protection. One day, I will make this flag everywhere!"

"Lord, you are mighty!"

I saw Chao Yan, who was at the bottom, blinking his big eyes and blurting out the words first.

"Lord, you are mighty!"

The rest of the main subordinates and commanders also followed excitedly: "My subordinates are willing to contribute to the lord's road of conquest!"

"Okay, everyone, please take your places."

Looking at the excited subordinates, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and immediately dismissed the meeting.

Then, Lei Xiao gathered ten main subordinates, Ariel, Huzhang, Hong Ye, Lian, Erza, Ye Cang, Chao Yan, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, and Lina.

According to the predetermined plan, the next destination is naturally the mountain fortress.

Just when Lei Xiao was about to set off, a sharp and crisp voice sounded out of thin air: "Lord, please wait a moment!"

The next second, a slender figure flashed in front of Lei Xiao, it was the half-elf ancestor Jiang Lei.

"Jiang Lei, didn't I give everyone in the Yuebai clan a day off last night?"

Seeing a familiar face, Lei Xiao couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"

"Lord, I appreciate your kindness. It is a troubled time in the territory right now. How can I stay out of it, even for just one day?"

Jiang Lei smiled and responded: "Furthermore, all the transformations of those crystal subordinates who have returned to the city have been completed. It is time to build a convenient teleportation network according to the Lord's instructions."

"Then let's set off, our first stop is the mountain fortress."

Looking at Jiang Li's eager look, Lei Xiao didn't say anything else and nodded slightly.

At this point, along with a vague wave of energy rippling out, a group of twelve people had disappeared in an instant under Jiang Li's teleportation technique.

It didn't take long for Lei Xiao and his team to appear in the border area of ​​Leng Yan, standing in front of the mountain fortress in the center of the two peaks.

Looking up at the huge fortress exuding an unshakable aura in front of him, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

No matter how many times I have been here, the eastern gate of the Cold Flame Kingdom still gives people a sense of awe.

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty the Princess, welcome to the Mountain Castle Fortress!"

An old and rich voice sounded, and Bai Lao, who was wearing heavy white armor, had already led a group of commanders from the fortress army to come forward quickly.

Bai Lao and others, who have already learned about the drastic changes in the entire area, clearly understand.

The young man standing in front of them now is no longer a small Kongqing City Lord, but a powerful figure who controls more than thirty cities and all the resources of the Lengyan Kingdom!

Such strong strength is enough to make everyone, including Mr. Bai, stand in awe!

"General Bai, we meet again."

Feeling the subtle change in Bai Lao's tone, Lei Xiao smiled lightly.

Although Randall and other members of the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group have left the mountain fortress and are stationed in Pentium City.

But because there was a team of Shadow Squadron members as liaison officers, Lei Xiao had already notified Bai Lao and others in advance before setting off, and only then did Bai Lao and others greet him.

"It is undoubtedly a great honor for us to be able to meet Your Excellency and Your Highness the Princess so soon."

Bai Lao's words were full of sincere admiration, and he nodded towards Lei Xiao.

At the beginning, after learning that Kongqing Town and the territory in the forest were surrounded by large armies of new nobles and traditional nobles respectively, Bai Lao and his senior general Leng Yan, who were always paying attention to the battlefield situation, were already heartbroken.

In that hopeless situation, if it were any one of them, or all of them included, there would be no possibility of winning!

But the guest in front of you not only turned defeat into victory in the end, but was also able to capture such a vast area at an incredible speed!

Such a wonderful thunder method is simply breathtaking, and it can easily be recorded in the history of the Cold Flame Kingdom and even the entire human race!

The most important thing is that Your Excellency Ke Qing has eliminated the fallen nobles who were causing trouble. This is undoubtedly a very happy thing for Bai Lao and other neutral nobles who are loyal to the old king.

After all, one of the old king's lifelong wishes was to get these fallen nobles back on track and completely remove the shackles from the free farmers.

It is a pity that because these two groups of degenerate nobles have long been entrenched in the kingdom, even the wise and brave old king has not made substantial progress after weighing many parties.

This feat that even the old king could not accomplish has actually become a reality in the hands of this young man!

Thinking about this in their hearts, Bai Lao and others couldn't help but look at Lei Xiao with more respect.
