"Lord, you are right. Little Bella once said that after launching the "Blood Feast Ceremony", she has been living here peacefully with her mother and villagers. This means that this is the royal family of the Iron Hand Islands.
It’s a matter of permission, otherwise the royal family will never fail to take action.”
Chiduo nodded thoughtfully and agreed: "It can be seen from this that, just as the rumors say, there must be vampires among the top brass of the Iron Hand Islands, and even the vampires have controlled the entire royal family of the Iron Hand Islands.
."
"I agree. This can be supported by what the children just said."
Jiang Li nodded, then looked at the young man holding the harpoon, and asked with a smile: "Brave little knight, did you just say the words "big man of the blood clan"?"
"Yes, according to the adults, the big shots of the Vampire Clan have been working tirelessly to protect this land."
The harpoon boy looked like he should take it for granted, nodded and said: "Especially our Majesty the Queen, she works day and night for this land and is deeply loved by everyone."
"Your Majesty the Queen? Is the current monarch of the Iron Hand Islands actually a queen?"
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then asked: "How long has this queen been on the throne?"
"As for big brother, we don't know either."
After the harpoon boy and Bella and the other children looked at each other for a while, they shook their heads slightly and said, "But after the Blood Feast Ceremony, Her Majesty the Queen has been protecting us."
"Reign for more than a hundred years?"
The white knight pondered and nodded, and then said respectfully to Lei Xiao: "Lord, it seems that the queen of the Iron Hand Islands is very likely to be a vampire."
"In this way, everything will fall into place. Furthermore, we can also go to the power center of the Iron Hand Islands to confirm in person."
Lei Xiao gently snapped his fingers and said with a faint smile: "I think that at this critical moment of life and death, the other party will not refuse a friend who takes the initiative to lend a helping hand, right?"
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement and got ready to go.
"Bella, big brother is going to find a way to wake up your mother and other villagers."
Lei Xiao lowered his body and said to the girl who was accompanying his mother: "Just stay in the village and continue to take care of the adults."
"I understand, we will be obedient, please be careful along the way, big brother."
Bella nodded sensibly, and immediately knelt down in front of Lei Xiao again, saying with gratitude on her face: "Thank you, big brother, for your help!"
"Thank you big brother for your help!"
The other boys and girls also made the same actions one after another and said in unison.
"Just wait for our good news."
Lei Xiao and his subordinates helped the children up one by one, and immediately disappeared at the door of the wooden house in the center of the village under the influence of Xiao Huan's invisibility illusion.
After that, Lei Xiao and his subordinates galloped towards the center of power in the Iron Hand Islands.
As we all know, the Iron Hand Archipelago consists of hundreds of large and small islands.
It got its name because the main island with the largest area in the middle, combined with the five surrounding long-shaped islands, looks like a giant stretched iron hand.
"The largest main island in the middle is called Palm Island, which is where the royal capital of the Iron Hand Islands is located."
In the process of speeding, Lei Xiao recalled the topographic map and customs of the Iron Hand Islands that he had memorized before.
"However, even though it is an island, the area of Palm Island alone is as large as two Lengyan Eastern Regions, not to mention the five surrounding Finger Islands and other large islands."
"In other words, although it is called an archipelago, it is closer to a separate piece of land."
"The most important thing is that the climate here is pleasant, the land is fertile, there are numerous water sources, and there are inexhaustible marine resources. It is extremely suitable for living. Only then will the population be equal to that of any human race."
"Three hundred years ago, the Iron Hand Islands once suppressed the Kingdom of Grim and occupied a considerable part of the Kingdom of Grim's territory, including Azure City. However, because the royal family later became weak, the Kingdom of Grim took the opportunity to drive it away.
Back to my hometown."
"In short, before being isolated from the world, the strength here cannot be underestimated. Not only does it have strong ground power, but its sea power and air power are also very impressive."
Just when Lei Xiao was speeding towards Palm Island in the Iron Hand Archipelago, he was thinking to himself.
In the royal capital of the Iron Hand Islands, the destination of Lei Xiao and his party, there was a completely different scene.
Iron Hand Islands, Palm Island, Royal Capital Iron Blood City, Palace.
The palace in the center of Iron Blood City is extremely special.
As the core area of the Iron Hand Archipelago's power center, it is shrouded in clouds and foggy all year round no matter day or night, which is completely different from the sunny scene in other areas of the royal capital.
In a giant castle in the palace, a majestic and slender figure had just entered the dimly lit King's Hall, when another agile and burly figure exuding vast aura emerged out of thin air.
"Her Majesty the Queen, a group of uninvited guests with unknown purposes were discovered in Caibei Village on Kawi Island. Although they perfectly disguised themselves with top-level illusions, the remaining smell cannot escape our tracking."
The burly figure was dressed in black, knelt down in front of the slender figure, and reported respectfully: "There are seven people in total, most of them are human race, and among them there seems to be a half-elf and a half-grey race, respectively a fourth-level peak power.
He and six fifth-level experts are heading straight towards the Palm Island."
"Six fifth-level powerhouses? And one peak fourth-level powerhouse?"
The slender figure walked forward slowly, and the dark light reflected a graceful, luxurious and delicate mature face, like a delicate and thorny rose.
The graceful and mature queen frowned and thought for a moment, then narrowed her eyes and said, "Don't be nervous. The outsiders who appear at this time may not be a group of uninvited guests."
"Oh? Please let Her Majesty the Queen make it clear."
The burly figure still maintained a respectful posture, and said with a puzzled face: "Does your Majesty know the identity of the outsider?"
"Among the other six human kingdoms, most of them only have two or three country-level fifth-level strong men. Although the three major neutral organizations all meet this condition, as far as I know, there are no half-elf strong ones.
and the strong ones from the half-grey tribe.”
The mature queen's high heels clicked in the empty hall, and she said calmly: "Combined with the most famous figures in the other six countries, the answer is naturally self-evident."
"Your Majesty, are you saying that the leader of the other party's group is the Holy Lion Prince who has just eliminated the power turmoil in the country?"
The burly figure reacted immediately and nodded thoughtfully.
"He does have enough fifth-level warriors under his command, and he was the one who killed the Black Duke and several other members of his clan, right? I didn't expect that he would dare to set foot on my clan's territory despite being burdened with our clan's blood debt."
When he said this, the burly figure said with a puzzled face: "But the Kingdom of Lengyan is under siege by the five countries and is in danger. Then the Holy Lion Prince is not in charge of the overall situation in the Kingdom of Lengyan, so why did he come to our territory?"
"It is precisely because the Kingdom of Cold Flame is in danger that the alien came to ours, the only country that has not sent troops."
The mature queen's starry eyes were still slightly narrowed, and she said calmly: "What? Valentin, haven't you figured it out yet?"
"Your Majesty, are you saying that the other party plans to form an alliance with us and let us send troops to help the Cold Flame Kingdom?"
The burly figure named Virentin nodded thoughtfully, smiled contemptuously and said, "You really made a good calculation."
"I have too much time to take care of myself now, so how can I care about that alien?"
At this point, Virentin's whole body was filled with hostility, and he still kept his kneeling posture and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask your subordinates to drive out those smart guys?"
"Stupid, since the other party is coming straight towards here, he has obviously roughly understood our situation."
The mature queen glanced at Valentin, and there was a faint hint of fatigue between her brows.
"We have tried many methods in the past few days, but we still cannot repair the "Blood Barrier". If this continues, I am afraid that all the people of the Iron Hand Islands will really perish."
"And now that alien must be planning to help first, so that we can propose an alliance after we owe each other a favor."
Having said this, the mature queen's lips curved into a meaningful smile, and she said lightly: "How can we refuse the other party's kindness?"
"Your Majesty understands what Her Majesty the Queen means. Since the other party has taken the initiative to lend a helping hand, I might as well take advantage of the situation."
Valentin nodded suddenly, and then said doubtfully: "But Your Majesty, even if the barrier is really restored, our ability to mobilize is extremely limited."
"Ordinary soldiers cannot leave the area covered by the barrier, and the number of real vampires like us is relatively limited. We can't really risk everything for the other party, right?"
"After all, the other party is currently on the verge of destruction. Once we help, we may get burned."
After hearing Valentin's words, the corners of the mature Queen's mouth raised, and she said calmly: "I just said that I would accept the other party's help. When did I say that I would form an alliance with the other party?"
"If the other party really has a way to repair the barrier, that would be great. If not, we have nothing to lose."
The queen's voice suddenly became gloomy and she continued: "As for the alliance, do you think I would be stupid enough to join forces with an outsider who is about to perish?"
"This is the realm of our vampire clan. Let alone six fifth-level strong men. With the blessing of my mysterious weapon, even if the number is doubled, it may not be able to create any waves!"
"If that guy dares to act rashly, I might as well give him a ride in advance. The vampires will definitely retaliate. Since they have already touched my people, there is no reason to escape easily."
After saying that, the queen's sapphire-like starry eyes suddenly turned scarlet, and sharp fangs slowly emerged from the corners of her mouth.
For a moment, the already extremely dark King's Hall was filled with cold air. The faint sound of bats flapping their wings followed one after another, and pairs of equally scarlet evil eyes loomed in the corners.
…
"Lord, ahead is the royal capital Iron Blood City in the center of Palm Island. That is the center of power of the Iron Hand Islands!"
After a long and enjoyable journey, Lei Xiao's ears finally heard the crisp reporting sound of Gracilaria.
As the crisp sound fell, on a green horizon, a huge city full of ancient charm slowly appeared in front of Lei Xiao.
"I know, it's really a journey across mountains and rivers."
Lei Xiao looked at the two suns above his head that were no longer hot, and couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, the afternoon with the scorching sun had passed, and it was almost dusk.
"Is it getting dark soon? This is not good news for me heading to the vampire capital."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao immediately told everyone: "Everyone should be very alert and don't relax at any time."
"As you command! Lord!"
Everyone responded in unison and respectfully.
Looking at the huge ancient capital that became increasingly clear in front of him, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Along the way, I also took the opportunity to check out many large and small cities in the Iron Shou Islands. The situation was exactly the same as Caibei Village, with an empty appearance.
"At this stage, there are two main problems I face."
"The first is the reason why Bella and other children did not faint and still acted as normal, as well as the specific content of the "Blood Feast Ceremony"."
"Secondly, our recent killing of the Black Duke has probably already reached the ears of other vampires. We need to find out as soon as possible whether the impact of this incident will be too great."
Lei Xiao just thought of this in his mind.
Qiduo's cautious voice came over: "Lord, the number of strong vampires tracking us is increasing. In addition to nine fourth-level vampire strongmen who are good at atomization and concealment, they also include a
As a fifth-level Vampire strongman, I have to say that the Vampire's nose is really extremely sensitive."
"Don't pay attention to them. Since they followed the scent all the way, the news must have already reached the ears of the blood queen."
Lei Xiao looked at the tall ancient capital city wall close at hand, and said calmly: "We can just go directly to the other party's palace."
After receiving Lei Xiao's instructions, the group accelerated their speed and flew straight towards the central area of the Iron-Blooded City.
Not long after, the group of people who had lifted the invisibility effect stopped in front of the gate of a dark inner city surrounded by an absolute defensive barrier.
"It's sunny outside, but it's dark here? It really feels like entering a devil's land."
Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the thick black clouds above his head.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that the relationship between vampires and humans has always been at odds, and they are extremely cunning.
Now that the Iron Hand Islands are in the hands of vampires, it is obviously not an easy task to successfully win over them.
However, as the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Back then, the Kingdom of Grim was the culprit that drove the vampires to the Iron Hand Islands. I think the vampires who are determined to take revenge will never forget this, right?
What's more, our situation is precarious and we have no choice of allies.
"Japanese knotweed, please knock on the door. The proper etiquette still needs to be followed."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and nodded to the burly man.
Just when Huzhang bowed to accept the order and was about to step forward to call the door.
Accompanied by a heavy sound of iron chains rubbing together, the city gate opened on its own in advance.
