Listening to the cheers that got louder and louder, Lei Xiao first ordered the soldier captain on standby to send Lilith to her family, then he jumped lightly and remounted his horse with Ariel one after another.
Holding the reins in his hands, Lei Xiao did not move forward directly, but gently pressed his palms downward to signal the crowd to calm down.
Seeing Lei Xiao's gesture, the huge venue fell into silence, as if the mute button had been pressed.
"During the period of turmoil in the royal capital, in addition to the touching perseverance of ordinary people, there was also a group of people who did not fear the power of the tyrants and fallen nobles and still stood in their respective positions. It was precisely because of their perseverance that
, this devastated kingdom did not completely fall apart."
Lei Xiao's eyes moved and finally fell on the crowd of nobles represented by Wu, and he solemnly said: "They are the nobles who have always faithfully fulfilled their obligations and responsibilities and are still loyal to the royal family. They are worthy of the title of noble and worthy of the title of noble."
The honor of the family is worthy of the Hero King’s motto.”
At this point, Lei Xiao's voice became a little louder and he continued: "I solemnly declare here that their efforts will never be in vain, and they will all get their due rewards. I hope they can continue to fulfill their mission as King of Heroes.
His motto has become "a shield to protect the common people, not a sword to pierce them."
"Thank you, Your Excellency, guest. We are willing to do our best and be loyal to the royal family to the death, so that the kingdom will be prosperous and strong, the people will be stable, and they will enjoy the blessing of peace forever!"
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, an old nobleman with white hair and beard stepped forward on a walking stick, caressing his chest and saluting, and responded with excitement on his face.
You know, when a few princes and fallen nobles came to power, these nobles who were unwilling to join in the conspiracy were all emptied of power, subjected to crazy suppression and exclusion, lived under threat every day, and became dispensable.
fringe aristocracy.
And now, Lei Xiao not only affirms their persistence in front of everyone, but also plans to reuse them. For them, this is nothing less than a supreme gift and glory!
"Thank you, Your Excellency, guest. We are willing to do our best and be loyal to the royal family to the death, so that the kingdom will be prosperous and strong, the people will be stable, and they will enjoy the blessing of peace forever!"
As soon as the old noble said these words, the other nobles also touched their chests and saluted, and said in unison with excitement on their faces.
"Remember, no matter whether you are a noble or a commoner, as long as you care about the kingdom and the royal family, your highness and I will see it."
Lei Xiao first nodded to the noble team, then urged the horses to move forward again, and said: "As long as we work together, we will surely create the immortal glory of the Cold Flame Kingdom, and we will also be praised forever by future generations.
!”
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, the whole place became excited again.
Both the nobles and the common people had excited expressions on their faces, causing high-pitched cheers to rise one after another, almost deafening.
"Long live your guest!"
"Long live your Royal Highness the Princess!"
Amid the cheers of tens of thousands of people, Lei Xiao walked side by side with Ariel towards the huge gate of the Lion City.
In this process, except for five fifth-level powerhouses and more than fifty fourth-level powerhouses.
The third-order semi-elf demon archer squadron, the third-order werewolf warrior squadron, the third-order priest squadron and other third-order elite forces specially selected by Lei Xiao, as well as the last five elite legions, also appeared one after another.
Especially the half-elf squadron, which was all made up of handsome young men and women, immediately aroused waves of warm cheers as soon as they appeared.
"They are the elegant half-elves! They were once the heroes of the kingdom and made great achievements for the kingdom, and now they are back!"
People cheered and jumped, rushing to pay the highest respect to the half-elves.
You know, the reason why His Majesty the Hero King unified Leng Yan back then was undoubtedly due to the half-elf archers under his command.
Their agile movements and accurate archery skills, as well as their heroic appearance on the battlefield for His Majesty the Hero King, have become the yearning of countless Lengyan children in their childhood, and they often appear in the legends and stories told by bards and parents.
Although they were suppressed by several subsequent kings and eventually expelled from the royal family, people have never forgotten the achievements of the half-elves.
And now, under the leadership of Lord Keqing, the brave and capable half-elves have appeared in people's sight again. How can this not make people extremely excited?
Mia, who noticed the fiery glances from the crowd and was specially arranged to join the half-elf team by Lei Xiao, could not help but have a myriad of thoughts in her heart as her long eyelashes trembled.
Different from Bai Zhi and other half-elves, Mia truly comes from the Zhuyue clan, that is, the half-elf tribe that once fought bloody battles for the Cold Flame Kingdom.
Hundreds of years ago, after being mercilessly and forcibly expelled by the Lengyan royal family, tens of thousands of frustrated Zhuyue clan members finally left this land they once loved under the leadership of their clan leader, Qi Duo.
Didn't even take away any wealth.
In the era of the King of Heroes, they originally thought that they, who had been struggling to survive between the human race and the elves, had finally found a place of their own to settle down, but they did not expect that they would not be able to escape the sad ending of being suspected and jealous.
For the half-elves, being forced to travel far away may have become a habit, but what really chills the Zhuyue clan is that they feel that they have been abandoned and betrayed by the Lengyan royal family, who only regard them as the only ones fighting for world hegemony.
Just a tool.
Even so, the Zhuyue clan has never hated the Leng Yan royal family, and they have never thought of revenge. They just left without saying a word, that's all.
After all, this land has left their footprints and is also a place where they have fought hard. They are unwilling to drag this land into the abyss of blood and fire with their own hands. Perhaps they are still attached to this land in their hearts.
"I never thought that I, who came from the Zhuyue Clan, would one day step into the gate of Lengyan Capital City again in this way."
Mia looked at the cheering crowd around her, her red lips slightly opened, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
She was born after the Zhuyue Clan was expelled.
Although they have not personally experienced what happened back then, every newly born half-elf will be warned by their parents, that is, never trust the human race.
Especially the human race of the Cold Flame Kingdom, they are a group of ungrateful guys. They have forgotten that the Zhuyue clan used to be their fighting partners, and they have also forgotten the blood that the Zhuyue clan once shed for this land.
However, it wasn't until this moment that Mia discovered it.
Not everyone has forgotten the achievements of Zhuyue clan, just like the cheers and cheers of people today.
"Perhaps I should go back and tell my grandmother and other clan members that our Zhuyue clan has not been forgotten by the Cold Flame Kingdom. They still remember us and the blood and sacrifices we have shed!"
After a while, Mia was obviously infected by the warm atmosphere around her, and she became happy in her heart.
Although the reason why she appeared here was still hired by Lei Xiao who spent a lot of gold dragons, this was also the purpose of Lei Xiao's doing this.
That is to help Ariel, restore the reputation of this half-elf tribe whose whereabouts are unknown, and further increase the combat power of the Cold Flame Kingdom.
While Mia was thinking a lot, Lei Xiao and Ariel, who were walking at the front, had both stepped into the gate of Lion City.
Arriving inside this long and majestic royal capital, Lei Xiao noticed.
Compared with other ordinary cities, the royal capital, which is the center of power of the Cold Flame Kingdom, is truly extraordinary, exuding a majestic atmosphere everywhere.
I saw tall construction shops on both sides. Their facades were several times the size of ordinary shops, and even the road under their feet was obviously much wider.
Whether it is the shape of the street lamps on both sides of the road, the patterns on the surrounding buildings, or the patterns on the floor tiles, it is obvious that they are all made by famous craftsmen. Each part is the crystallization of art and craftsmanship, which is breathtaking.
"The Royal Capital is indeed extraordinary. In terms of scale, it is even comparable to Crystal Blue City, which is the land of gods. It seems that that old boy Wang Xi really put in a lot of effort back then."
Lei Xiao's eyes moved, and he thought in his heart while looking at this magnificent and ancient city.
Although both sides of the road were still filled with soldiers maintaining order and huge crowds of people, it was still not crowded, which was evident from this.
Under people's admiring gaze, Lei Xiao further noticed.
Although everything looks so warm and peaceful, it can still be clearly observed.
Just the road he walked on, the ground, the surrounding building walls, and even the roofs and other places all had scorched and mottled marks from the battle.
Moreover, the colors of many large-area walls and roofs are obviously very new. Even the textures of the wall sculptures do not match and are incompatible with the surroundings. They have obviously been repaired not long ago, and there is a faint smell in the air.
The taste of blood.
"The main roads in the royal capital have been destroyed like this, which shows how crazy the struggle was at that time."
Observing this, Lei Xiao's mind could already picture the bloody scene in which the royal capital was filled with smoke and screams and fierce battles were heard.
While sighing in his heart, Lei Xiao couldn't help but look at Ariel, who was walking side by side.
One can imagine how desperate Princess Leng Yan, who had been growing up in the palace, would feel when she saw that the once peaceful and peaceful capital had turned into a purgatory of blood and fire, with even her own life in danger.
However, what surprised Lei Xiao was.
At this time, Ariel's fair face did not reveal a trace of timidity or sadness, but instead was filled with determination.
This kind of determination rising from the depths of her heart, set off by the enthusiastic crowd around her, became even more sacred and inviolable, adding a bit of nobility and majesty to Ariel.
"It seems like she has really grown up a lot."
Lei Xiao slowly withdrew his gaze and nodded with satisfaction.
Amid people's awed gazes and warm cheers, Lei Xiao and Ariel rode forward on horseback, and soon arrived at the main venue of the triumphal ceremony, not far from the central square of the royal capital.
In front of the crowded central square, not only Wu, Caroline, Hilda, Bai Lao, and all the nobles who came out of the city to greet them at the beginning were already in place, but there were also a number of strange and powerful figures.
These strong men are dressed in different attires, some are wearing robes, some are wearing armor, and some are wearing pure white priest robes, but without exception, they are all fourth level or above in strength, and even some are even stronger.
Including a fifth-level powerhouse surrounded by vast aura.
Through the initial exchange with Wu Yi, Lei Xiao has learned the identities of these powerful people, who are members of the three major neutral organizations of the human race, the Alchemist Guild, the Mercenary Guild, and the Temple of Light.
As the managers and key members of the Cold Flame Kingdom branch, it is not surprising that they appear here because they have close connections with the royal family.
"According to Wu Wu, the Cold Flame Kingdom branches of these three major neutral organizations originally had fifth-level strong men in charge, but currently the fifth-level strong men from the Alchemist Guild and the Mercenary Guild are not in place."
"The former returned to the alchemist's headquarters half a year ago, and went to report on his duties in the mysterious Alchemy Square Tower, but has not returned yet, while the latter went to carry out an unknown big mission, and only the chief light bishop of the Temple of Light, Severn, is in office.
"
At this point, Lei Xiao's video moved and finally landed on a kind old man wearing a luxurious red priest's robe.
This kind old man with a sweet smile and white hair and beard looks very much like a standard upright old magician in movies.
"Is he a powerful priest of the fifth level and seven stars? Although the priest is very good at treatment and assistance, the light attribute attack spells he masters are still enough to kill any low-level powerful person in an instant. His strength should not be underestimated, not to mention that this guy is also the chief light bishop.
It is said that there are only nine Light Temples in total, and their status is second only to the legendary Pope."
Lei Xiao's eyes only stayed on the other party for a moment, and then moved away.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that the fifth-level powerhouse had extraordinary insight and would definitely notice his gaze immediately. From the perspective of etiquette, naturally he could not stare at the other person all the time.
"Now Ariel is about to be crowned. Although these three neutral organizations have never intervened in the power changes of human countries and do not pose any threat, the relationship with them is also extremely important. After all, whether it is the Mercenary Guild, the Alchemist Guild, or
They are the Temple of Light, and they are all indispensable components for the functioning of a country."
Lei Xiao's eyes swept over the members of these three neutral organizations one by one, and nodded thoughtfully.
After Ariel was successfully crowned, her next goal was obvious, which was to conquer the entire human world.
Under this premise, the three neutral organizations must be an insurmountable hurdle, and sooner or later they will have to face each other head-on.
But at least at this stage, he does not have enough strength to make these three historical forces surrender.
Therefore, the best way at present is undoubtedly to maintain friendly relations with the three to ensure the normal operation of the Cold Flame Kingdom, then further get closer to the three, and finally wait for the opportunity.
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, he and Ariel had already arrived right in front of the central square. ()
