"Your Highness the Holy Lion Prince, there must be one thing you understand clearly, right?"
Catherine frowned slightly and asked: "Although my blood clan's control of the Iron Hand Islands has not been officially announced, many countries have already made speculations."
"In this way, and once a large-scale invasion of troops is launched, this will be completely exposed. The human world will soon know that His Highness has become an ally with the Vampire Race."
At this point, Catherine's eyebrows began to frown even more tightly.
"You know, my blood clan's reputation in the human world is not very good."
"This undoubtedly means that the Kingdom of Cold Flame will also stand completely opposite to the human world. This includes not only other human countries, but also neutral organizations such as our mortal enemy, the Temple of Light."
As soon as Catherine said this, the other vampire ministers all nodded solemnly, obviously very curious about this question.
Looking at the serious vampire monarchs and ministers across the conference table, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and responded: "Her Majesty the Queen is overly worried."
"Now, under the control of a pair of invisible hands, the five countries have mobilized their national troops at the same time, aiming their swords and iron hooves at the Cold Flame Kingdom, in an attempt to turn the land that had just extinguished the war into a purgatory again, with corpses everywhere again.
."
"As an alien lord and the protector of the Cold Flame Kingdom, I had no choice from the beginning. In order to protect the people of the kingdom and my subjects, even if I signed a contract with the devil, I would
I will never look back."
Lei Xiao's voice was sonorous and powerful, and then he smiled helplessly and said: "Moreover, I have actually stood on the opposite side of the human nations, and I have nothing to lose."
"But this is not only an enemy of the other five human nations, it is also equivalent to an enemy of the Bright Temple, the largest neutral organization in the human world."
Catherine's face was solemn, and she asked again: "Is my infamous vampire really worthy of His Highness the Holy Lion Prince taking such a huge risk to cooperate?"
"Of course it's worth it, because you are my allies, and you are also the only country among the human nations that lends a helping hand, and the only country that is willing to save my people, water and fire. This alone is enough."
"In addition, I saw peace and tranquility in the Iron Hand Islands that was unprecedented in the Cold Flame Kingdom. This is enough to prove that even though Her Majesty is a vampire, she is qualified to rule this country, even more than most human royal families.
Excellent, let alone the first queen who sacrificed herself."
Lei Xiao's face was equally solemn, and he continued: "Compared to you, those fallen royal families and nobles who hold supreme power but only enjoy themselves are the real vampires."
"Your Highness, you are ridiculous. In fact, after entering the Iron Hand Islands, my vampires no longer attacked the human race that accepted us, but locked the source of food on the monsters and monster fish."
Catherine nodded heavily and said, "But even so, the Temple of Light will never let us go."
"The Temple of Light? This is indeed worth noting."
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
The Temple of Light is the largest source of healing professions in human countries, and it has saved the human world from danger many times. These are all well-known things.
After becoming the Holy Lion Prince, Lei Xiao learned more.
The Temple of Light has a high reputation in the human world. Among them, especially the Kingdom of Grim, where the main hall of the Temple of Light is located, is extremely fanatical from top to bottom. Even the royal family is the most loyal believer.
As for the Cold Flame Kingdom, although the influence of the Temple of Light is relatively limited, it still has a lot of supporters.
This means that if you choose to form an alliance with the Iron Hand Islands ruled by the Vampire Clan, it is indeed a very difficult matter, and the other party will definitely not give up.
However, in the face of the life and death of countless people and territories, this seems extremely insignificant.
"Having said that, since my goal is to control the entire human world, I will inevitably have a head-on confrontation with the three neutral organizations including the Temple of Light one day, so it's just a matter of time."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said: "Please rest assured, Her Majesty the Queen, no matter what happens in the future, the Cold Flame Kingdom will firmly stand on the side of its allies."
As soon as Lei Xiao said these words, Catherine, Valentin and other vampire monarchs couldn't help but feel moved, and even showed a hint of excitement.
"His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, are you saying that you would not hesitate to become the enemy of the entire human world?"
Catherine was moved in her heart and couldn't help asking another question.
"Being an enemy is out of the question. All we have to do is take the entire human world into our hands."
Lei Xiao's eyes were smooth and firm, and he smiled and said: "Since the order cannot be changed, then just create a new order."
After hearing Lei Xiao's impassioned words, Catherine, Valentin and other vampires were stunned for a moment, and then they all felt relieved.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire human world, only this unfathomable prince from another world can utter such heroic words.
As long as he successfully overcomes this difficulty, this prince from another world will definitely change the entire human world!
After that, Lei Xiao discussed with Catherine some specific details about backstabbing the Kingdom of Grim and the Pars Empire.
Until the Kingdom of Cold Flame completely holds back the main forces of the two, the Iron Hand Islands will remain stationary. Only in this way can the two opponents be put in a dilemma to the maximum extent, trapped in a quagmire of being attacked from both sides, and strive for the maximum results for our side.
As for the initial attack on a large number of the opponent's important strongholds, Lei Xiao and Catherine had already planned everything on the sandbox, and were waiting for the day when the plan would be implemented.
In addition, Lei Xiao will also provide a considerable amount of equipment, potions and other items to further enhance the combat power of new allies.
This made Catherine and others even more grateful, with excited expressions on their faces.
Regarding the completeness of the "Blood Feast Barrier", Lei Xiao naturally had to leave some leeway and promised that the other party would come to replenish it regularly.
Finally, based on the chart provided by Catherine, Lei Xiao planned a teleportation network route for Jiang Li that leads directly to Iron Blood City, the capital of the Iron Hand Islands.
When the laying is completed, we can teleport here directly.
"Okay, Her Majesty the Queen, let's go back without further delay and continue preparations."
After everything was discussed, Lei Xiao stood up from his seat, nodded and said: "After the transmission network is completed, I will send a complete team of diplomats as soon as possible to maintain contact with Her Majesty the Queen."
"Understood, I will also prepare a corresponding team to show the importance I attach to the Cold Flame Kingdom."
Catherine also stood up and smiled, and then said with a slight embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, our vampire court does not have human food in stock, so we can only entertain all distinguished guests next time."
"No problem, it is our greatest blessing to be able to see this land regain its vitality. We also welcome Her Majesty the Queen and all the ministers to visit the capital of Cold Flame King."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I look forward to seeing Her Majesty the Queen and you all again."
After Catherine and others bid farewell, Lei Xiao and his party left the Vampire Palace with two teams of phantom maids, and then sped away in the direction they came from.
When it got dark, Lei Xiao first returned to the small fishing village where Bella was at the beginning.
Just like what we saw along the way, after the "Blood Feast Barrier" was restored, the people who fainted here also returned to their original state.
Seeing Bella's happy little face from a distance, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and continued to direct the team forward, and soon returned to the Lion's Castle located in the central area of the Cold Flame Kingdom via the teleportation network.
The first thing he did when he came back was to gather Xiao Huan, Erza, Xiao Ya, Mia, Dinah and other illusory forces from our side, as well as two teams of phantom maids, and go to the mountain fortress to deploy the illusory magic circle.
With Shirley's unreserved teaching, Erza and others have completely mastered the deployment method of the illusion magic circle.
As for the specific deployment location, Lei Xiao had already ordered Bai Lao to complete the survey.
The border between the Mountain Fortress and the Holy Night Kingdom has rugged terrain and numerous mountains. It is easy to find a location that can trap an army of 1.5 million men.
After arranging everything, Lei Xiao returned to Ariel and described the whole story.
"'Blood Feast Ceremony'? I didn't expect that the Iron Hand Islands still hide such a secret. No wonder they took the initiative to isolate themselves from the world."
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, Ariel's face was full of surprise. She obediently handed Lei Xiao hot tea and said excitedly: "But we finally succeeded in winning over the other party, so that we will have an extremely powerful ally.
Woolen cloth!"
"As long as we attack the Iron Hand Islands from both sides, we will be sure to repel the two enemy forces of the Kingdom of Grim and the Pars Empire, and we can even take the opportunity to make the other side vomit some territory."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile: "It may not be easy to occupy our land. I will definitely make them pay an unbearable price."
"The Lord's words always make people very reassuring."
Ariel nodded heavily, and then sighed: "After all, you are worthy of being a lord. You can encounter exciting anecdotes every time you go out!"
"I would rather take some time off and relax with my Queen."
Lei Xiao took Ariel into his arms and said with a smile: "I have met so many queens, and my Majesty is still the most well-behaved."
"That's natural. This subordinate is willing to do anything for the lord."
Ariel looked like she was being used and nestled against Lei Xiao's chest.
After a while, Ariel straightened up again, frowned and said: "So, the southern rainforest fortress is the only one with no way to deal with the army? I wonder what the Lord's plan is?"
"This is my biggest headache right now."
Lei Xiao suppressed his smile and nodded solemnly.
As long as we are unable to cope with it along the way, we will be defeated like a mountain and all our previous efforts will be in vain.
"Lord, according to the latest intelligence, the crown prince of the Prairie Land who was about to ascend the throne died unexpectedly on the land of my Lengyan Kingdom. The new king who took the throne used the excuse that my Lengyan Kingdom designed to persecute the other prince, and then quickly gathered them.
They defeated the disintegrated tribes and marched towards the rainforest fortress."
Ariel's fair face was full of solemnity and she said: "As long as we clarify the facts, we may be able to make the other party withdraw their troops."
"There is no point in trying to add guilt. Even if we find 10,000 ways to clarify, the other party will never give up."
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said: "After all, the opponent's purpose is obvious, which is to kill you while you are sick. As long as the conflict is successfully transferred to us, the opponent's new king can wait for an opportunity to consolidate his rule.
"
"The lord is right, my subordinates are too naive."
Ariel nodded thoughtfully, frowning and said: "I originally thought that many tribes on the other side were war-weary, and the new king's power was unstable, so we could find a way to defeat them without fighting.
Well, now it seems that we still have to find a way to fight with him?"
"Compared to the other four armies, the current grassland land with unstable power is indeed the easiest to deal with, and it is not impossible to defeat the enemy without a fight."
Lei Xiao touched Ariel's head and thought: "However, for us, we still lack a key trump card, or a means, that can make the opponent collapse without a fight."
"That's true, but where should we look for this trump card? Speaking of which, did the crown prince really die on the land of the Cold Flame Kingdom? When exactly did it happen?"
Ariel looked puzzled and asked a series of questions.
"I think what the other party said is half-truth and half-false. I'm afraid that the crown prince really fell to the Cold Flame Kingdom, but the other party put the hat of killing the crown prince on our heads."
Lei Xiao gently rubbed his chin and muttered: "As for the time and place, if I guessed correctly, it was probably during the Battle of Kelburg. After all, we can know from the last contact with Teresa that at that time
All countries sent important figures to watch the battle secretly."
"My lord, the analysis is very reasonable and the time is right."
Ariel nodded thoughtfully, frowned and said: "But the crown prince of a country must be very powerful. Teresa did not mention that the countries watching the war were fighting each other, how could they do it casually?
Just collapsed around Kelburg?"
Just as Ariel said this, Lei Xiao's reminder sound suddenly sounded.
After the call was connected, Al's hurried voice mixed with excitement reached Lei Xiao's ears.
"Lord, according to the report from Bernie, the president of the "Green Adventurers Guild", ten days ago, several of his subordinates accidentally rescued a seriously injured grassland man at the foot of the cliff near Kelburg.
"
"Just now, the grassland man who had been comatose for a long time just woke up and claimed to be the crown prince of the grassland!"
After hearing this unexpected news, Lei Xiao's eyes lit up and he said with joy: "It seems that we will know the truth of the matter soon."
