Hearing Qi Duo's unwavering voice, not only Lei Xiao and Ariel, but also all the subordinates behind them were excited and cheered.
Everyone clearly understands that successfully welcoming back the Zhuyue clan will not only increase their combat power, but will also enhance the morale and cohesion of the entire kingdom to a considerable extent.
You know, these half-elves are all elite soldiers and generals who fought with His Majesty the King of Heroes in the world.
Even they who once parted ways with the kingdom are willing to fight for the kingdom again, even without fear of strong enemies and death. What reason does the others have not to go all out?
"Chief Qiduo, thank you Zhuyue clan for coming forward. This time we will not fight for any reason, only for each other."
With excitement in his heart, Lei Xiao nodded heavily to Qiduo and said: "When the coming war comes to an end, Her Majesty the Queen and I promise to restore all the privileges of the Zhuyue clan in the Lengyan Kingdom and return to Lengyan.
Among the wealthy families of the Flame Kingdom!"
"Your Highness, you are so polite. As I said just now, although the Zhuyue clan longs for a stable place to live and settle down, they must repay their kindness and have never let down their benefactors, just like they followed the King of Heroes in the wars in the north and south.
."
Chiduo smiled, and a hint of determination emerged in her starry eyes, and she responded: "Since His Royal Highness the Prince and Her Majesty the Queen can come here in person and save the entire Zhuyue clan, even if they are not afraid of danger, then it means that we have to go through fire and water.
No matter what!"
After Chiduo finished speaking, the half-elf elders behind him, Mia, and other half-elves also nodded heavily.
"Then, we will discuss other matters later. Her Majesty the Queen and I have brought a large amount of food, so that the tribesmen can have a full meal first."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao nodded towards Jiang Li.
Before heading here, Jiang Li's extra large storage space was filled with food. Not to mention a full meal, it was more than enough to last a month.
"Great, thank you, Your Royal Highness! Thank you, Your Majesty the Queen!"
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, Qiduo's starry eyes lit up, and she and several elders immediately guided Jiang Lei to unload the grain.
While Qi Duo was busy, Lei Xiao turned to the old man in blue robe and asked: "Old sir, what are you going to do next?"
"It is not difficult to tell from your words just now that the country you rule seems to be in some kind of trouble."
The old man in blue robe gently stroked his blue beard, which was like ice silk, and said with a smile: "I am willing to bring "Ice Stone City" to help in the battle and do my little bit for you."
"Thank you so much, old man!"
Lei Xiao's spirit perked up, and he became excited again.
The blue-robed old man who was once a demigod, although his strength has been greatly reduced, has reached the sixth level. He will undoubtedly crush any fifth-level powerhouse at the national level. He can even fight against a hundred thousand elite soldiers without falling behind.
wind.
Although we are still weak in front of the millions of soldiers at the national level, this will undoubtedly greatly enhance our combat power and can also greatly boost our morale.
After all, among the human nations today, there is not yet a sixth-level powerhouse who stands proud among the others to rule the country!
While Lei Xiao was excited, Ariel and others naturally had excited expressions on their faces.
"Your Excellency, you're welcome. Half-elves know how to repay kindness. Naturally, I understand this truth better. Without your presence, I'm afraid I would have been lost in the barrier area with this "Ice Stone City" forever."
The old man in blue robe stroked his beard and smiled, and said sincerely: "So it is my duty to help your savior."
"However, Lao Chan can only rely on "Ice Stone City" to exist at present. He cannot leave this city too far away. The energy he can mobilize may not be as good as a normal sixth-level powerhouse for the time being. I hope you know."
When he said this, the blue-robed old man's eyes dimmed, and he shook his head helplessly: "In other words, the old man can only fight in the snowy area that the "Ice Stone City" can reach."
"It is already a great honor for us that the old gentleman can help us."
Lei Xiao waved his hand and didn't take this to heart.
Even if the old man in blue robe cannot leave the snowy area for the time being, the combat radius has completely covered the entire northern border and parts of the Pars Empire.
This undoubtedly means that at least when facing the Pars Empire's Fortress, I will have one more weapon that can be called a king.
After all, the Pars Empire and the Cold Flame Kingdom are feuding. They have been fighting a war around the northern border for hundreds of years. They will never let go of this opportunity. The possibility of sending troops this time is almost certain.
Moreover, among the human nations, the Pars Empire has the largest territory and the largest population among all human nations.
Although it has many enemies and there are not many areas that require heavy defense, it is still easy to assemble a million-sized, well-trained elite army, and the number may even be larger.
Once this massive army of one million troops reaches the fortress, it is obvious that it will not be able to withstand the Taiyuan Army with only Caroline's 60,000 defenders and the relatively weak Northern Army of 200,000 in overall strength.
long time.
But once the blue-robed old man is in charge, and "Ice Stone City" and "Crystal Blue City" are added, the situation will undoubtedly change a lot.
After all, "Ice Stone City" and "Crystal Blue City" can both teleport to the northern border and even anywhere in the Pars Empire.
While Lei Xiao and his party were rejoicing, Qiduo had also returned to the crowd.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness the Prince, Your Majesty the Queen, you have traveled thousands of miles to save our Zhuyue clan, but I have been busy with my own affairs and neglected everyone."
A hint of apology appeared on Qiduo's fair face, and she smiled awkwardly: "Please follow me, at least let me entertain you briefly, even though the food is still the food of His Highness the Prince and Her Majesty the Queen."
"Then we would rather obey orders than be respectful."
Seeing that dusk had come, Lei Xiao and Ariel looked at each other first, then nodded and said, "There happen to be some details that need to be discussed together."
Then, under Qi Duo's guidance, Lei Xiao and his group walked for about ten minutes before stopping in front of a three-story building in the center of the city.
This large building, also surrounded by vines, has a domed roof and two statues of fully armed armored soldiers at the door, which looks quite impressive.
It is worth mentioning that during the march.
Although the old man in blue robe lost his memory and even forgot his own name, Lei Xiao gave the former an honorific title: Bing Lao for the convenience of addressing him, and the former also liked this name very much.
"Everyone, this is the location of the Zhuyue clan's elders' meeting."
I saw Qi Duo first introducing Lei Xiao and his party, and then said to Mr. Bing sheepishly: "Old sir, we regard this place as the center of power within the clan without permission, have we not offended you?"
"It doesn't matter, this used to be one of the problem-solving centers for the Godly Attendant Dolls, so it's quite appropriate."
Bing Lao gently stroked his beard and nodded slightly.
"Then let's go in now."
Chiduo was obviously relieved, and immediately nodded to Lei Xiao and Ariel and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty the Queen, please come this way with me."
After being invited into the building by Qi Duo, Lei Xiao took further notice.
The building is filled with the atmosphere of nature that half-elves yearn for. Not only is it decorated with a large number of colorful flowers, it also exudes bursts of fragrance.
Moreover, there are many finely carved wooden tables, chairs, benches and cabinets, which look unique.
After Lei Xiao and his group sat down in the restaurant arranged in the hall, it didn't take long for the steaming meals to be served one after another. Chiduo, Mia and the other half-elf elders also sat down.
, trying his best to entertain Lei Xiao and his party.
After some tasting, Lei Xiao discovered.
Compared with the relatively bland taste of the Yuebai clan, the meals of the Zhuyue clan are almost the same as the eating habits of the Cold Flame Kingdom.
Mainly made of various kinds of bread as the main food, supplemented by barbecued and stewed meats. Judging from the freshness, it is obvious that they have just been hunted. They are simply seasoned with salt and herbs. After one bite,
Full of plump gravy and mellow meat aroma, it is extremely satisfying.
"I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty the Queen, because the clan has been without food for some time, so I can only entertain you with these simple meals."
Chiduo looked at Lei Xiao and Ariel with some anxiety, fearing that they might be neglected.
"Chief Qiduo, you're welcome. Although Her Majesty the Queen and I are in high positions, we can eat delicious food as well as simple meals. After all, we have gone through too many wars and smoke along the way, and military supplies support everything.
The fundamentals of food naturally understand the preciousness of food.”
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and then briefly described his and Ariel's experiences during this period to the other half-elves.
After hearing Lei Xiao's description, Qiduo and the half-elf elders looked at each other for a long time, and then said in disbelief: "It turns out that His Royal Highness is a lord from another world. Being able to help Her Majesty the Queen ascend to the throne is truly a miracle."
epic."
Half-elves of the Zhuyue clan, such as Qi Duo and others, are no strangers to alien lords, and have even helped several alien lords who were in crisis.
After all, the half-elves who had lived with the human race for a long time, even though they were dissatisfied with the former Leng Yan kingship, still understood that they should not anger others.
Therefore, Chi Duo and others naturally knew how weak these alien lords, who had only a few hundred people around them at most, were.
Because of this, when Lei Xiao revealed his identity, Qi Duo and others would be so shocked.
They never thought that one of the alien lords they had saved would one day save themselves.
"It's not a big deal, there is always someone who has to carry the sky."
Lei Xiao put down the steaming hot broth, smiled lightly and said: "As for the crisis situation that the Cold Flame Kingdom is currently facing, the specifics are this."
Afterwards, Lei Xiao explained the current situation to the half-elves.
"I understand, the current strength of the Cold Flame Kingdom, even without the fierce internal disputes, is far inferior to when we left. At that time, the Cold Flame Kingdom was the overlord of the Seven Kingdoms, and even the Pars Empire did not dare to cross the border.
step."
Qiduo fixed her eyebrows and said: "At that time, the royal family had at least 30 main legions, and the nobles from all over the country were all strong and strong, and their relations with the Iron Hand Islands, the Prairie King, and the Holy Night Kingdom were all good, even comparable.
Call them allies."
"That's right, it's a pity that not long after, the Kingdom of Lengyan gave birth to the landless King George who was both good and warlike. He not only launched wars indiscriminately and offended all the surrounding countries, but also appointed a large number of new noble forces, which led to the rise of new nobles in the kingdom.
."
Ariel sighed softly and helplessly recounted the "great achievements" of this ancestor: "Then, the strength of the Cold Flame Kingdom was not only less than before, but also lost a large area of land and allies, and also laid the foundation for the new aristocracy and the traditional aristocracy.
It was the seeds of internal struggle that finally led to the situation we are in today."
After a brief silence, Lei Xiao took over the conversation again and continued: "As the saying goes, the moon waxes and wanes, no matter what happened in the Cold Flame Kingdom in the past, it has nothing to do with us now, as long as we can grasp it
That’s all right now.”
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment and then continued: "I have confirmed with Bing Lao just now that this "Ice Stone City" is the same as the "Crystal Blue City" just now. You can go to any place in the snowy area.
Even the forested areas on the edge."
"So, before the crisis of annihilation is lifted, the soldiers of the Zhuyue clan should continue to live here. I will keep up with all the supplies as soon as possible, including weapons and equipment. You have only one mission, and that is to work with Bing Lao as a non-falling soldier.
Reinforcements for the fortress to resist the incoming Pars Empire army."
"As for the civilians of the Zhuyue clan, Her Majesty the Queen and I have found a city on the edge of the northern border for temporary resettlement. I will send special guards for protection."
"Finally, if we successfully survive this crisis of national annihilation, Her Majesty the Queen and I will hold a grand ceremony to formally welcome the return of the Zhuyue Clan and return all the former fiefdoms of the Zhuyue Clan to you."
Hearing that Lei Xiao was very considerate of civilian matters, Chiduo was grateful. She first sought the opinions of other half-elf elders, and then said: "Your Highness, you don't have to be so troublesome. Everyone in the Zhuyue clan is the same."
We are born warriors, and the baptism of war and smoke will only make us stronger."
"Furthermore, if there are traces of a large number of half-elves in the north, once the Pars Empire gets the news, they will definitely take precautions. By then, our Zhuyue clan will lose the advantage of the surprise army, so please rest assured, Your Highness, we know
How you should take care of yourself, His Highness just gives you instructions."
After Qi Duo finished speaking, Bing Lao nodded and said: "Don't worry, Your Excellency, as long as I am here, no one can attack this "Ice Stone City"."
"I understand, then just listen to Chief Qi Duo."
Seeing that the other party was so determined, Lei Xiao said nothing else, and immediately discussed some matters with the half-elves, including understanding the current combat power of the Zhuyue clan. ()
