Chapter 1138 Theresa’s return and the lord’s thoughts
After hearing the reminder to read something, Lei Xiao gathered his thoughts and immediately started the call.
After becoming more proficient in controlling magic, Lei Xiao can now directly control Nianyu with his thoughts, without having to operate on the lord's exclusive control panel.
After the connection was connected, the respectful voice of the female heavy knight Kara came over: "Lord Qi, Your Excellency Theresa, the Saint of the Moon Palace, has returned from the Dark Elf Kingdom to report on her duties!"
"Oh?"
Lei Xiao's eyes lit up and he immediately responded: "After she settles down, find time to talk to me immediately."
Lei Xiao clearly understood that Teresa, as the Saint of the Moon Temple, held a high position in the Holy Night Kingdom. As long as she came back, once there was any change in the Holy Night Kingdom, he would no longer be caught off guard like before. Undoubtedly, It's like having an extra layer of insurance.
As soon as Lei Xiao finished speaking, a long-lost crisp sound came from Kara's side.
"Haha, your Excellency, no, I should call you Your Highness the Holy Lion Prince, right? Does Your Highness really want to hear my voice as soon as possible?"
Needless to say, this is none other than Erza's sister, Saint Teresa of the Moon Temple.
"It should be said that Your Majesty the Saint is anxious to hear my voice. Otherwise, why did you ask Kara to contact me just after you returned?"
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled lightly.
"Your Highness the Prince is right."
Teresa also chuckled and responded: "After all, it has only been a while, and the reputation of His Royal Highness has already completely spread throughout the human nations."
"For Your Majesty the Saint, who is no longer in the human world, it is indeed just a period of time, but for me and the Cold Flame Kingdom, it is an extremely long and difficult time. Fortunately, we survived."
Lei Xiao's voice became solemn again, and he said: "As for the specific situation, you must have heard about it, right?"
"Exactly, I didn't expect that His Highness the Prince actually shouldered the five armies of destroying the country. This is a great achievement that has never been achieved by any king since the blank era. It can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented."< br>
While marveling, Teresa said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Your Highness. During my absence, the Holy Night Kingdom caused trouble to Your Highness."
"It doesn't matter, those guys are not having an easy time now, their lives are all in my hands."
Lei Xiao shrugged, sat on the command chair next to the sand table and said: "About the matter of Yongmian Canyon, Your Excellency the Holy Lady must have heard about it, right?"
"I didn't expect that His Highness the Prince would use illusions to trap an army of 150 legions. It is simply unbelievable."
Teresa's voice was full of surprise as she responded: "His Royal Highness is always able to do unexpected things."
"It's just a little trick, no big deal."
Lei Xiao picked up the baton on the side and turned it around in his hand. He changed the subject and said, "This will not have any impact on Your Majesty the Holy Lady, will it?"
"Haha, it's not too late for me to be happy. The Griffin Prince Andre is a representative of the main war faction. Especially after the new king was crowned, he covered the sky with one hand in the palace and has been trying to marginalize the Moon Palace in the Holy Night Kingdom. , he has always caused trouble for me, and this time he brought it upon himself.”
There was a chuckle of gloating from Theresa's side, and she said: "Furthermore, among the 800,000 Holy Night Army, there is no Moon Palace Army. They are all forces under Andre and the new king. This just gives Give me the opportunity to regain control of the Holy Night Palace.”
"Then I'll feel relieved."
Lei Xiao put down his baton, his voice became a little more serious again, and then said: "Then the Holy Lady must also know that a big hole has been secretly broken into my illusion circle, right?"
"To be honest with His Highness, this is why I am so anxious to find His Highness. As far as I know, there is absolutely no such capable person in either the Holy Night Kingdom or the Canlan Federation who can do this."
Teresa's voice was also extremely solemn, and she asked: "In addition, His Royal Highness the Prince's palace was once captured. There is no shadow of the Black Abyss Brotherhood in this, right?"
"As expected of Her Majesty the Saint, you really guessed it right."
Regarding Theresa, Lei Xiao naturally did not hesitate, and immediately described the Black Abyss Brotherhood's participation in detail.
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, Theresa was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Your Highness, when I learned that the Cold Flame Kingdom and its allies were currently at war with the Temple of Light, I was still full of suspicion. It seems that the mysterious mastermind hiding in the shadow of the Black Abyss Brotherhood is not the Temple of Light, right?”
"That's it. Your Majesty the Holy Lady is really good at predicting things."
Lei Xiao took the black tea respectfully handed over by the maid Xing Hui and said calmly: "The things we have been puzzled about before are finally connected."
After that, Lei Xiao told Teresa a series of things about Severn and Scott.
"It turns out that King Naganilon IX is impeccable in his work and is better at manipulating people's hearts. If he didn't have an in-depth understanding of the Black Abyss Brotherhood and have fought against him many times like you and I, I'm afraid I would never believe all of this. I have to say, Prince Your Highness is really carrying a heavy burden now.”
After being silent for a while, Teresa's tone showed a hint of heaviness, and she sighed softly: "I didn't expect that we have been fighting against such a huge creature."
"Having said that, even though there are thorns ahead, we are not going alone, there are a group of robes surrounding us, right?"
Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and then took a sip of tea.
"Your Highness the Prince is right. Even if the opponent's true form is the Temple of Light, I will definitely do my best to assist His Highness the Prince."
Teresa's firm voice reached Lei Xiao's ears again.
"I feel much more at ease with the words of Your Majesty the Holy Lady."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and immediately asked: "Then what are you going to do next, Your Majesty the Holy Lady?"
"The first thing to do is naturally deal with the seemingly low-key chief archbishop of the Holy Night Kingdom. It seems that the reason why our Moon Palace was attacked at that time was because of the way this guy led. No wonder he often visited the Moon Palace for various reasons for a period of time. Main Hall.”
Teresa heard the sound of fists clicking, and said: "In addition, judging from the murder of the previous monarchs of the Cold Flame Kingdom and the Green Kingdom, it is completely confirmed that the situation in the Holy Night Kingdom is also similar. , I must determine the extent of the Light Temple’s penetration in the Holy Night Kingdom as soon as possible and eliminate it completely as soon as possible.”
After a pause, Teresa added: "Don't worry, Your Highness, since I have returned to the Kingdom of Holy Night, there will no longer be any threat to Your Highness."
"Then please leave it to the Holy Lady."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "If you need help, Your Majesty the Saint, just ask."
"Your Highness, you are welcome. Once I have stabilized the Holy Night Kingdom, I will lead my subordinates to help Your Highness. This time I have returned from the Dark Elf Kingdom, and I have brought a lot of interesting things."< br>
Teresa's mysterious laughter came over, and she continued: "By the way, I have also prepared a gift for His Highness the Prince, which will be delivered to His Highness soon. I hope His Highness the Prince will like it."
< br>
"Oh? As the saying goes, no reward will be given without merit, what do you mean by this, Your Majesty the Holy Lady?"
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and asked immediately.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, this is not for those guys like Griffin Prince Andre. I don't care even if Your Highness executes them."
At this point, Teresa's voice became a little stumbling: "When I returned to the Dark Elf Kingdom, I stayed at home for two days and recalled some past events with Erza. These are the things I thank the prince for. Your Highness takes in and takes care of your sister.”
After Theresa said that, before Lei Xiao could speak, Carla's voice came over: "Lord, Your Excellency the Saint ran away with a red face."
"I understand, you must pay attention to safety over there."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and after giving Kara a few instructions, he stopped talking.
"You're such a shy guy. A gift? I hope it's something you can use."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and picked up the teacup on the sand table again.
Just like what I just thought, now that Teresa has returned, there is no need for the Holy Night Kingdom to worry anymore.
"Teresa's return can be regarded as an extra strength. Apart from this, what other strength can I mobilize?"
Lei Xiao took a sip of tea and brought the question back to his previous thoughts.
At this stage, in addition to the Green Kingdom, the Iron Hand Islands, and Teresa's Moon Palace, he also has two potential allies: the dwarfs in the space train and the phantoms of the phantom tribe in the underground temple.
"Let's find time to visit these two again. My current strength is not what it used to be. Let's see if I can get some new powers that I couldn't use before."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao continued to think.
During this period of time, with the continuous supply of magic potions from the Alchemist Guild and Xueya and Faxia, the elite strength of his subordinates has been improved again.
First of all, through the supply of various potions that permanently enhance strength, the number of main legions in the Cold Flame Kingdom has increased rapidly at a rate of about 2 per day.
In just one week, the number of main legions in various places increased by 15 in total.
This includes not only second-level elite soldiers, but also a large number of third-level commanders. Coupled with continuous training and recruitment of new soldiers, although they have not completely recovered their strength, they have also returned to about 80% of their strength before the internal disputes.
At the same time, the number of new legions converted into ordinary legions is also steadily increasing.
If you include the equipment and heroic spirits, the Cold Flame Kingdom has completely surpassed its peak combat power and reached an unprecedented level of strength.
"In addition to the fact that Buluo Fortress, Luolong City and Shanbao Fortress still need to deal with border threats, I have also transferred 10 main legions of the Yorkman family from the Rainforest Fortress, and will soon be able to reach the Sunset Fortress."
< br>
"At that time, it will form the second wave of force with the 10 new main legions currently being trained by Sunset Fortress, and continue to advance towards the sphere of influence of the Temple of Light as a subsequent reserve force."
"In this way, our army in this direction will reach one million people."
Lei Xiao examined the sand table in front of him and nodded thoughtfully.
Secondly, the number of elite squadrons in the territory is also continuing to increase, and will soon reach the level of all members of the third level.
The two shadow squadrons and three communication mage squadrons distributed in various places have already reached the third level, and are all equipped with invisibility cloaks and the most comprehensive variety of magic scrolls and potions.
Finally, the legions of lords from various places are also constantly gathering.
In addition to the increasing prosperity of Cole Town, the scientific research base where Qin Qian and others are located, Lei Xiao has also successively designated several other relatively remote and easy-to-monitor strongholds in border areas for the lords of the Xiaoshen Regiment with fighting talents to settle.
With the participation and play of more and more territorial movement talented lords, these strongholds have begun to take shape, forming small town-like gathering places for lords.
At the same time, the lord network led by Qin Qian has also been put into trial operation in the eastern region, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
"These lords' legions are weak and I haven't started cultivating them yet. They will serve as reserve forces for various border fortresses for the time being. When everything stabilizes, I will come up with a special plan to focus on cultivating some outstanding and loyal lords. ”
After sorting everything out, Lei Xiao frowned slightly.
In other words, except for visiting the elves and eidolons, and the continuous supply of potions, there seems to be no new way for us to increase our combat power.
"This is a bit tricky. Facing the Temple of Light, which has a strong foundation and unknown strength, without some hidden methods, I am afraid that it will be in an extremely passive position. After all, the storm is approaching."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao began to try to change his train of thought and muttered: "Think again if there is any other way."
After holding the tea cup and thinking for a long time, Lei Xiao's eyes lit up and his heart suddenly became enlightened.
By the way, I still have some places that I have explored before but not fully explored!
The first thing Lei Xiao thought of was the ruins of the bright elves near Shen Banxia's territory.
"Deep in the underground city of the ruins of the Bright Elf clan, there is a door that has been specially sealed by the elves and has never been opened. According to Jiang Li, only a small number of fifth-level elven warriors can open it."
"Now, although I don't have such a strong person under my command, Teresa who I just spoke to is a genuine fifth-level elven. Although the dark elves and the light elves are mortal enemies and may not be able to open it, you can at least ask the other party. Let’s see if there is any other way to open it.”
"Furthermore, many of the Leng Yan kings and powerful people in the country have extraordinary knowledge. Perhaps we can find some ideas from them. By the way, there is also Qiduo, who is also a half-elf."
"If you can successfully open the sealed door, you might get some unexpected and amazing harvest!"
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao did not start asking immediately, but started thinking about other matters.
In his previous series of magical adventures, there may be a few places where there is the possibility of improving his strength.
"Are there two, no, maybe three places?"
Lei Xiao gently rubbed his chin and continued to ponder. (End of chapter)
