Chapter 255 Hall Talk (Part 1)
Looking at Lei Xiao's stern eyes, both Princess Ariel herself and the two fourth-order kingdom generals beside her couldn't help but look at each other.
Their condescending attitude and many methods of coercion and inducement relying on the Leng Yan royal family obviously had no effect on the young man in front of them.
Moreover, it is not difficult to see from the cold eyes of the other party.
If they do anything untoward, the other party will really get rid of them all without hesitation, and even the noble Princess Ariel will probably not be an exception.
At this time, under the bright sunshine, hundreds of flowers were blooming on the huge square, greenery was everywhere, and there was a warm scene everywhere.
But the hearts of the cold flame experts felt as if they had fallen into an ice hole, with wisps of chills constantly rising from their hearts.
The indifferent young man in front of him, hidden behind his gentle face, is undoubtedly decisive and ruthless.
"Your Royal Highness, according to my opinion, the meaning of the other party's words is already obvious."
I saw the fourth-level white-haired old man wearing heavy plate armor. He frowned and pondered for a moment, then bowed to Ariel and said: "That means we must lower ourselves and show the etiquette and posture that an ordinary envoy should have. Only by acting well can you gain the respect of the other party.”
"Your Royal Highness, what the old general said makes sense."
Although there was still a trace of anger on her fair face, the fourth-level female cleric nodded helplessly.
Then he whispered to Ariel: "At first glance, this person is a difficult guy who refuses to accept softness and hardness. He is the most difficult type to deal with. And just on the surface, the strong energy he displays is already... Very amazing.”
"Although I am very unhappy, under the current circumstances, rather than treating this annoying guy as an opponent, it is more beneficial to us as an ally."
Her eyebrows lowered and she sighed softly, the female cleric added: "After all, at this stage, I have no place to stay in the capital."
"I also understand this truth, but this guy with a calm face makes people hate him so much."
Wrinkling her pretty nose slightly, Ariel was like a deflated rubber ball, muttering to herself: "That's it, that's all it can do now."
After finishing speaking, Ariel took a step forward, shook her long, slightly curly hair, and cleared her throat pretending to be calm.
Then, he said with some reluctance: "That's all, since you sincerely invite me, the princess will just give you a face and lead the way."
Although it seemed that Ariel still had the same arrogant attitude, her voice was unconsciously softer, and she was obviously less confident than before.
"It seems that this is the last stubbornness of this princess."
Seeing that the other party forcibly found a step for him, Lei Xiao curled his lips and shrugged, and said nothing else.
Then he went straight to the city lord's mansion with the main force and subordinates.
After the confrontation just now, he has completed his intended goal.
That is to frighten the opponent to the maximum extent while keeping the trump card.
In this way, while severely dampening the opponent's energy.
I also unconsciously took the initiative in the further dialogue.
The most important thing is to make the other party clearly aware of something.
If they want to make any changes in this Kongqing Town, they will undoubtedly be met with disaster.
……
After a while, Lei Xiao was already sitting on the throne at the top of the main hall on the first floor of the City Lord's Mansion.
Behind him stood Huzhang and Yecang.
In the spacious and bright hall, it is on the left hand side at the bottom.
In order, there are Guanzhong under Lei Xiao, the two captains of the Kongqing Town garrison, Nanxing, Nanyue, Chaoyan, Aling, and Abing, a total of 8 people.
And on the right hand side of the lower position.
They are the opponent's fourth-level white-haired old man in plate armor, the fourth-level female priest in pure white priest robes, five third-level maids, and Lin and Fang Hai as neutral forces.
As for the most important Princess Ariel, she was naturally treated like a VIP and sat next to Lei Xiao's throne... on a luxurious chair with armrests that had obviously been sawn shorter.
In addition, the two elite squadrons brought by the opponent, as well as other accompanying personnel, were arranged in an idle barracks not far from the city lord's palace.
Of course, there were also two squadrons of great swordsmen and a squadron of magicians who followed Lei Xiao, closely watching each other's every move.
And those extremely eye-catching luxury airships have also been properly arranged.
"Okay, let's stop talking and get straight to the point."
Seeing that everyone was already in place, Lei Xiao waved his hand to the waiting maid to serve tea, and nodded slightly.
"Just what I wanted."
On the other side, Ariel, who had obviously lowered her head, naturally knew that Lei Xiao did it on purpose. The corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily, and she suppressed the anger in her heart, and still pretended to be calm.
Next, after Ariel’s brief introduction, Lei Xiao learned.
The two powerful fourth-level men were both one of the eight kingdom generals loyal to the Lengyan royal family.
The white-haired old man wearing armor and carrying a battle ax is General Bert.
The young woman wearing a pure white priest robe and carrying a sword at her waist is the orange-white color of the Holy Light General.
"Generals of the eight kingdoms? That's interesting. It seems that these two generals of the kingdom are supporters of the fifth princess."
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and mused in his heart: "It is worth noting that their large troops did not show up. There must be something fishy about this. I must take the opportunity to ask clearly later."
Through this period of understanding, Lei Xiao clearly understood.
In this world, those who can truly be called generals are at the level of legion commanders who command at least ten thousand legions.
In other words, this also proves from the side that the Lengyan royal family alone has at least eight legions of troops.
Coupled with other Leng Yan Zhucheng, it is indeed a very scary number for me now.
After all, at this stage, he only owns Kongqing Town and Mailan Town, two small towns, and the combat power of an army of ten thousand people is enough to rival a powerful fifth-level man.
"By the way, the fiefdoms of Xue Ya and Faxia's respective families need to be completely settled. As the heirs of their Earl family, it is not difficult to do this."
"In this way, my overall strength will be further increased. In addition, several other cities around Kongqing Town and Mailan Town will also have to find opportunities to investigate carefully."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao cheered up and briefly introduced his subordinates.
After both parties greeted each other politely, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and said directly to Ariel: "Then, my dear Fifth Princess, please tell me your true purpose of coming here." ( End of chapter)
