Chapter 1065 Return to Kellburg and new allegiance
Feeling happy in his heart, Lei Xiao told Ariel the news.
"Lord, are you saying that President Bernie's subordinates discovered an injured person claiming to be the Crown Prince of the Prairie near Fort Kelley?"
Ariel's starry eyes were also shining brightly, and she said happily: "This is exactly consistent with what we just speculated!"
"Yes, the injured person probably did not lie. It is very likely that he is really the crown prince of the Deep Green Land."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and affirmed with a smile: "Without further ado, let's go and see for ourselves. This may be the key to retreating from the invading enemies of the Rainforest Fortress."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao stood up from his seat, picked up Ariel, and walked towards the door.
After that, Lei Xiao gathered three important palace ministers, Wu, White Knight, and Orr, Bernie who reported the news, and Ye Cang, who was good at healing. They came directly to the Castle of Kelley under the teleportation of Jiang Li.
A branch of the Green Adventurers Guild.
The mysterious wounded man from the prairie has been secretly placed here.
"Meet the President!"
Under the moonlit night, at the main entrance of the branch, a middle-aged man wearing the badge of the "Green Adventurers Guild" bowed respectfully to Bernie, caressing his chest.
Then he looked at the powerful Lei Xiao and his group and asked, "Who are these?"
To be on the safe side, Lei Xiao and his party all performed illusion disguises, so there was no way they could find any clues from their appearance.
"Branch President Tim, these are distinguished guests of the guild. Please take us directly to see the injured person."
Following Lei Xiao's instructions, Bernie nodded slightly.
Then, with a respectful look on his face, Bernie took the initiative to open the door, caressed his chest and saluted Lei Xiao: "Sir, please go this way."
Seeing that the always aloof President actually lowered his posture like this, Tim was surprised in his heart and did not dare to ask me any other questions. He quickly bowed and started to lead the way.
Under the guidance of the other party, Lei Xiao and his group moved forward and soon came to a secret room in the basement.
"Mr. President, distinguished guests, this is it."
Tim stroked his chest and saluted, then opened the door to the secret room.
As the door opened, the leader Lei Xiao noticed.
The candlelight flickered in the room, and on a simple hospital bed lay a young injured man whose body was covered with bandages.
The young man's eyes were closed tightly, his pale and weak face was full of perseverance, and he looked less than thirty years old.
"Distinguished guests, this injured man claims to be the leader of the largest tribe in the Deep Green Land or some kind of crown prince. He must have fallen stupid."
Tim respectfully introduced Lei Xiao and his party into the house and began to introduce them.
Until now, he had never understood why an injured person talking nonsense could attract the attention of so many big shots.
"Branch President Tim, you have done a great job, now give your time to the distinguished guests."
Bernie obviously knew the importance of the matter. Before the other party could finish speaking, he dragged him out of the room and gently closed the door.
The old president clearly understood that His Royal Highness the Prince and Her Majesty the Queen were about to have an extremely important interview, which was likely to affect the life and death of the entire Cold Flame Kingdom.
And he had only just sworn allegiance to the royal family and had not yet made any achievements, so retreating to avoid suspicion was obviously the best choice.
Seeing Bernie leaving with Tim, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, then nodded slightly to Jiang Li, indicating to the latter to isolate the entire room from the outside world.
"Excuse me, are you...?"
Hearing the footsteps of Lei Xiao and others, the young man also woke up, with a vigilant look on his face.
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao did not speak, but ordered everyone to take off their illusion disguises.
"Are you the famous guest from another world?"
The young man recognized Lei Xiao at a glance, then looked at Ariel beside him and said, "Then this is Her Highness the Fifth Princess?"
"Visitors from the Deep Green Land, please allow me to introduce you again."
At Lei Xiao's signal, Orr took a step forward and said politely: "Standing in front of you are the most noble Holy Lion Prince and Her Majesty the Queen of the Lengyan Kingdom."
After that, Orr introduced Wu, White Knight and others present.
"Your Highness the Prince? Your Majesty the Queen? Two powerful men at the national level who have long been famous in the Cold Flame Kingdom?"
The injured young man was startled and couldn't help but blurt out: "So, Your Excellency, guest from another world, no, Your Highness the Prince has already assisted Her Majesty the Queen on the throne?"
"Exactly, Her Majesty the Queen held a grand coronation ceremony three days ago, and now everyone in the Cold Flame Kingdom is united."
Al nodded, with a proud look on his face.
"So that's it."
When the young man heard the sound, he was excited in his heart and quickly tried to straighten up to show respect, but he lay back down again with a grin on his face.
"Your Excellency is injured, so there is no need to be polite."
Lei Xiao took a step forward and said with a smile: "Now that you know our identities, you should also declare your family name, right?"
"Sorry, I got a little excited at the next moment."
The young man slowly took a deep breath, and after calming down, he said seriously: "I am Eckhart Condor, the patriarch of the Condor Tribe of the Dark Green Land, and the crown prince of the Dark Green Land!"
"So, your father is Occam, the former king of the Deep Green Land?"
The white knight pondered for a moment, then asked.
"That's right, since my father died of illness, the tribes in the Deep Green Land have fallen into endless disputes. Coupled with the raging dimensional storm, the people of my Dark Green Land are in dire straits, and even the earth is crying for them."
The young man's face was gloomy, and he shook his head helplessly and said: "And I, who succeeded the position of clan leader, with the assistance of the two commanders Alger and Gena, fought in the north and south, and finally pacified the tribes not long ago.
Disputes.”
After that, the young man took out an exquisite golden eagle-shaped coat of arms from under the pillow to further prove his identity.
"Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty the Queen, this is the emblem of the leader of the Condor Tribe. I saw it before when I fought against Occam. He was a heroic and respectable opponent."
Wu looked carefully for a moment, then raised his chest to Lei Xiao and Ariel and saluted, "It seems that what the other party said is true."
"Understood."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Your Highness Eckhart, now that your identity has been confirmed, I will speak frankly. If I am not wrong, your serious injury should be caused by one of my own.
?”
"As for why you fell near Kelburg, it was because you came to watch the battle in person."
As soon as Lei Xiao said such straightforward words, not only Eckhardt on the hospital bed, but also everyone in our party were stunned, but soon they all suddenly understood.
Just as Lei Xiao said, although his aura is weak, the strength of this crown prince from the dark green land is at the peak level of the fourth level, and he is already considered invincible below the fifth level.
When going deep into other countries, they will definitely be accompanied by powerful guards. In this case, since fighting with other opponents has been initially ruled out, the only possibility left is to be attacked by one's own people.
Already.
"His Royal Highness, you really know what's going to happen."
Eckhart clenched the badge in his hand and said with an angry look on his face: "Yes, it was Commander Genna who came with me who suddenly attacked me, and I fell off the cliff."
"But I'm afraid the other party would never have thought that I was wearing a rare illusion lining at the time, which could make the attacker mistakenly think that I was dead, but in fact it was not fatal."
At this point, Eckhart looked at a torn shirt dyed crimson on the table not far away, shook his head helplessly and said: "I didn't expect that guy to kill me directly."
"What exactly happened?"
After the speculation in his mind was confirmed, Lei Xiao immediately asked again.
"With all due respect to His Highness, this is what happened."
Eckhart tried his best to adjust his clarity, and then described the cause and effect at that time.
"Gner tried to persuade His Highness to use troops against the Cold Flame Kingdom, but His Highness wanted to make good friends with the Cold Flame Kingdom. Is this why the other party acted so cruelly?"
After listening to Eckhart's description, Lei Xiao and Ariel looked at each other, and began to secretly cheer in their hearts.
Just now I was saying that if I want to retreat from the invading enemies of the Rainforest Fortress, I still lack a key trump card, but now this one has appeared in front of me!
"Yes, my dark green land can no longer withstand a large war."
Eckhart nodded solemnly, but then he said with doubts on his face: "But I can't understand why Genna, who has always been at the front and back of the horse since my father was in power, suddenly attacked me?"
"It's very simple, because he must have a backer behind him, so he is so afraid."
Lei Xiao gently rubbed his chin and responded.
As for who the backer is, it is naturally the Black Abyss Brotherhood.
"Backer? No wonder it feels like Genna is getting weirder and weirder."
Eckhart carefully recalled what the other party had done recently and nodded thoughtfully.
After a while, he regained his energy and said sternly to Lei Xiao and Ariel: "Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty the Queen, I have no intention of starting a war with the Cold Flame Kingdom. As long as I send you back to the grassland, I am willing to have relations with the Cold Flame Kingdom for generations to come.
Well, I will repay His Highness and Your Majesty for your kindness!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I'm afraid the current situation is not that simple."
Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and immediately described the current situation of the Rainforest Fortress.
"My 900,000-strong army in the Dark Green Land is murderous under the leadership of the new king. There are less than two days left before the rainforest fortress? Or is it in the name of revenge for me?"
Eckhart could hardly believe his ears. After being stunned for a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "That bastard Genna actually confuses right and wrong like this. He wants to lead my Deep Green Land into a situation of no return!
"
"Once the Cold Flame Kingdom is invaded, wars between tribes will start again in order to compete for new land and interests!"
At this point, Eckhart realized that his words were too straightforward, and quickly smiled awkwardly at Lei Xiao and said, "Sorry, Your Highness, I made a mistake."
"It doesn't matter, this is something that none of us want to see, and it is something that I will never allow."
Lei Xiao waved his hand, and immediately said with an embarrassed look on his face: "I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness, since the situation has been decided and the new king of your country has succeeded, I can only fight with your country with all my strength."
Of course, under the current situation, Lei Xiao has no spare power to start a war with the opponent.
The reason why Lei Xiao said this was for one purpose.
That is to first retreat in order to advance, find a way to regain the crown prince who is at the peak of the fourth level, and then do everything possible to put him on the throne again.
By then, the entire Dark Green Kingdom will naturally be under his control.
"Your Highness, you must not do this. Once the bloody battle begins, both sides will suffer losses!"
Sure enough, after hearing Lei Xiao's words, Eckhart quickly said: "If I guess correctly, the new king supported by Gena must be Eric, the leader of the Tiger Hunting Tribe."
"That guy is murderous and has a bad reputation among the tribes. He will only gradually lead the Dark Green Kingdom to destruction!"
"By then, only the innocent people will be harmed. I would rather die than see my people struggling and sinking in a sea of blood!"
"If His Royal Highness the Prince and Her Majesty the Queen can fully support me and disclose the truth of the matter, then it is not impossible for me to regain the throne!"
"After all, my reputation is much higher than Eric's, and the followers of each tribe are also far higher than Eric's. Moreover, the other commander-in-chief, Alger, is also my teacher. He will never sit idly by and betray me.
!”
Hearing Eckhart say this with excitement and eagerness, Lei Xiao still looked hesitant: "But..."
Before Lei Xiao could finish speaking, Eckhart quickly added: "Your Highness, if Your Highness is willing to help you regain the throne and regain your lost glory, then I am willing to do anything for Your Highness the Prince! Even if it means swearing allegiance to His Highness the Prince,
!”
At this moment, the crown prince who had lost everything clearly understood.
Only the young man from another world in front of him is strong enough to save himself, and he is also strong enough to save the entire Dark Green Kingdom!
"Oh? Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."
Lei Xiao was waiting for these words, his heart moved slightly, and a fourth-level recruitment order that had been prepared immediately appeared on the palm of his hand.
Just now, Lei Xiao upgraded ten second-level recruitment orders in a row, and got exactly one fourth-level recruitment order and nine third-level recruitment orders.
Seeing this, Eckhart did not hesitate at all. He endured the pain and sat up from the hospital bed. He stroked his chest and saluted Lei Xiao: "My subordinate, Eckhart Condor, is willing to swear allegiance to the lord to the death!"
"Very good, let's start signing the contract."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said seriously.
It didn't take long before a familiar prompt sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Congratulations, the fourth-level nine-star archer commander Eckhart Condor has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】
