Chapter 1094 An unexpected surprise at the banquet
I saw Catherine put down her wine glass and said seriously: "Just now, the True Ancestor came back after pouring all the alchemy bombs on the "Fortress", and also drove the "Fortress" back here. This will definitely cause the Saint
Wang William’s great dissatisfaction.”
"At the same time, regardless of the air pirate fleet that was completely wiped out, the Grim Kingdom's combat airship fleet suffered heavy losses in this battle. I am afraid that its combat strength is only 20% of its normal strength, and it has completely lost its air superiority."
"And the opponent's ground troops lost at least 20 legions due to the initial bombardment of magical artillery fire and alchemical bombs, plus the subsequent trampling of each other during the hasty evacuation."
"Although this is not to the point of breaking the bones, it will definitely cause great damage to the face of the Kingdom of Grim. The other side can just use this to re-energize the morale of the soldiers and create an atmosphere of revenge."
Catherine's voice became more solemn and continued: "In other words, the possibility of the opponent's comeback is almost certain, and the next attack will be more violent."
"I completely understand what Her Majesty the Queen means. Even if our pincer attack plan goes well, I'm afraid Sunset Fortress will have to suffer another attack from the Kingdom of Grim."
Lei Xiao looked as expected and nodded: "The elite troops of the Dark Green Kingdom led by Eckhart will arrive at the border with the Kingdom of Grim in about two days. How long will it take for Her Majesty the Queen to launch an attack?"
"To be honest with you, Your Highness, my maritime fleet has been secretly prepared, including sufficient magic towers to expand the coverage of the "Blood Feast Ceremony", and we can attack at any time."
Catherine took the red wine glass refilled by Ah Bing, the waiter, and nodded bluntly.
After saying that, there was a trace of embarrassment on her fair face, and she continued: "But just as we expected before, part of the fleet of the Kingdom of Grim formed an alliance with the Pars Empire at sea.
The fleet has been taking strict precautions around the Iron Hand Islands."
"And the Pars Empire still has a considerable number of combat airships left, so it is not as desperate as the Kingdom of Grim."
"This means that our Iron Hand Islands must eliminate the main force and combat airships of the two fleets in one fell swoop and control the entire sea area before we can confidently send ground troops to the battlefield."
Catherine frowned slightly and continued: "So please give me some more time, your highness. After the elite vampire scouts led by Virentin have investigated everything, I will immediately start to formulate a corresponding attack plan."
"I understand Her Majesty the Queen's difficulty. If you want to destroy the main fleets of the Kingdom of Grim and Pars at the same time, careful deployment is indeed required. After all, even though the ground is extremely empty, the maritime fleets of the two countries have not been mobilized at all."
Lei Xiao naturally understands the stakes involved. Facing the huge main fleets of the two countries, we only have one precious opportunity to launch a surprise attack. Otherwise, if the other party is on guard, things will be even more difficult to handle.
After all, the maritime power of the Iron Hand Islands, due to the slight technological difference, can only compete with one country at most, and it is indeed a bit stretched to deal with two countries at the same time.
However, with the joint cooperation between us and the fifth-level warriors of the Vampire Clan, we can undoubtedly close this gap to the greatest extent.
"Your Majesty the Queen, just feel free to prepare. As I said, if the situation permits, I will send the main force to fight side by side with the vampires."
Lei Xiao nodded with a smile and added another sentence.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding."
Catherine nodded heavily, frowned and said: "The Kingdom of Grim has a blood feud with the Vampire Clan. This time I must make this hypocritical country that relies on the protection of the Holy Light suffer."
After a pause, Catherine added: "Anyway, please rest assured, Your Highness, although the time will be longer, according to my scheduled plan, I will launch an attack on the sea at night two days later."
"I understand. It would be great if we could launch an attack together with the elite troops of the Dark Green Kingdom on the other side so that the Grim Kingdom could be attacked on three sides at the same time."
Lei Xiao smiled lightly and began to discuss with Catherine some trivial matters such as the provision of equipment and supplies.
The most indispensable thing for our side now is equipment. At least it is easy to equip all members of the Iron Hand Archipelago with level 2 equipment.
"By the way, Her Majesty the Queen, how come we didn't see Miss Louise when we went to the Iron Hand Islands last time?"
After everything was arranged, Lei Xiao's face was filled with doubts.
"His Royal Highness the Prince laughed because the True Ancestor was not in the Iron Hand Islands at that time and did not even know that there was a problem with the "Blood Feast Ceremony"."
A hint of helplessness appeared on Catherine's fair face again, and she began to introduce the adult.
Through Catherine's description, Lei Xiao learned.
It turns out that Miss Louise, who has the highest status among the vampires, has never been interested in governing the country and has never participated in various decision-making matters in the Iron Hand Islands.
Instead, it was like handing over all power to Catherine, who had the most True Ancestor bloodline.
As for Louise herself, due to her immature nature, she has been traveling around human countries and foreign lands all year round, and her whereabouts are so erratic that even Catherine has a hard time tracking her whereabouts.
"If His Highness hadn't reactivated the "Blood Feast Barrier" and restored it to a normal state that it had never had before, and was accidentally sensed by the True Ancestor who traveled far away in the outside world, I'm afraid I still wouldn't be able to see you in recent decades.
Where is the True Ancestor?"
Catherine smiled awkwardly, her delicate cheeks full of helplessness.
The helpless expression was as if the princess's teacher had met a rebellious princess, with a look that dared not speak out in anger.
It's no wonder, after all, Louise's strength is astonishing, enough to rival four or five country-level experts, and her constant absence has indeed greatly affected the vampire's combat power.
"She is really a carefree young lady."
Looking at Catherine's distressed expression, Lei Xiao also smiled, and then asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty, isn't the True Ancestor of the Vampire Clan the original Vampire Clan? The lifespan is even more difficult to calculate, so why is he still so rebellious?
What does a girl look like?”
"Your Highness, you don't know. In fact, all of this started when the Blood Tribe was defeated in the Iron Hand Islands."
Catherine sighed softly and began to continue describing.
It turns out that when the Blood Tribe suffered heavy blows from the Kingdom of Grim, the Pars Empire and the Temple of Light, the True Ancestor of the Blood Tribe was seriously injured under the siege of more than a dozen fifth-level powerhouses with the Temple of Light as the main force.
He had to fight to the death to escape.
By the time he was discovered by other vampires, he was already hopeless.
In order to continue to protect the Vampires, the True Ancestor, with the assistance of other Vampires, had no choice but to use his unique secret technique of resurrection to completely seal himself up until he emerged from the cocoon again.
"So, Louise is the true ancestor who emerged from the cocoon and became a butterfly?"
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, fully understanding the ins and outs of the matter.
"Yes, the True Ancestor emerged from his cocoon fifty years ago. I was excited at that time, but soon discovered that not only had the True Ancestor returned to his youth, but he also had no previous memories. It was like...
Like a pure white paper, only the strength has returned to its original state."
Catherine nodded slightly and recalled: "She only stayed in the Iron-Blooded City for ten years, and she sneaked away because she yearned for the outside world. When she came back, it was already twenty years later, and this time, it was also
This is the third time in fifty years that I have met the True Ancestor."
"She is really a worrying young lady."
Looking at Catherine who looked like an old mother worried about her children, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly.
"As a vampire with a long lifespan, the growth of the True Ancestor is also an extremely long process. I am afraid that I will remain in this status of a young lady for a long time. Therefore, if I offend you in any way, please don't take offense, Your Highness."
Catherine sighed softly, and then drank the red wine in the glass.
"Her Majesty the Queen is serious. Being able to get to know such a unique Miss Louise is one of the most interesting things in life."
Looking at Catherine taking advantage of the wine to drown her sorrows, Lei Xiao also took a sip of champagne, still maintaining a faint smile.
"Catherine, are you snitching on me behind my back again?"
A crisp voice sounded, and Louise, with her lips shiny, walked over almost sideways with her twin ponytails swinging as if she didn't recognize her relatives.
"Sir True Ancestor, stop joking, it's too late for me to even praise you True Ancestor."
Catherine waved her hands quickly, looking extremely sincere.
"Don't try to fool me easily. I have suffered losses many times!"
Louise showed half of her fangs, put one hand on her waist, and walked around Catherine with a scrutinizing look, as if she wanted to find some clues, but ultimately failed.
"That's all. I'm in a good mood today, so I won't argue with you."
After saying that, Louise quickly turned to Lei Xiao and praised him profusely: "Prince of the human race from another world, the meal you prepared is very suitable to my taste. I am very satisfied!"
"I am deeply honored to be praised by Miss Louise."
Lei Xiao obviously knew how to talk to this vampire eldest lady, and smiled: "If Miss Louise likes it, I will prepare more delicious food next time."
"real?"
Louise's starry eyes lit up, and she quickly stood on tiptoes and asked, "When is it? Tonight?"
"You can do it at any time. You are the great hero of the Cold Flame Kingdom, so you will naturally receive the highest standard of reception from us."
Lei Xiao still had a faint smile and nodded slightly.
"Great, it seems we really get along very well!"
Louise directly hugged Lei Xiao's arm with an extremely intimate look: "I have decided that I will live here and never leave!"
Hearing the sound, Catherine was stunned and quickly said: "Lord True Ancestor, this is the front line of the battle. It is not a place for you to play around. You will interfere with His Highness the Prince's handling of government affairs here."
"Katherine, just take care of other vampires. You don't need to take care of this lady's affairs!"
Louise put her hands on her hips again, with a determined expression as if she was trick-or-treating.
Looking at this quite interesting scene, Lei Xiao looked indifferent.
You must know that this vampire girl is a half-step sixth-level strongman who ranks first in all human countries. She is a being that cannot be underestimated even in the outer realm. If she can be used by herself, it will naturally be the best thing.
And although this girl is the true ancestor of the blood clan and has an extremely willful temper, she still has a childlike innocence after all. As long as she is given a little guidance, it is not difficult to restrain her.
"But Lord True Ancestor, after all, you have a special status, so it is not appropriate for you."
Catherine knew Louise's wanton temper, and was obviously afraid that Lei Xiao would be caught in the middle.
"It doesn't matter, hasn't the Blood Tribe already formed an alliance with the Cold Flame Kingdom? Since we are on the same front, what's the problem with my young lady staying here?"
Louise raised her eyebrows slightly, as if it were a matter of course.
After a moment, she seemed to remember something, and suddenly said to Catherine: "I understand, Miss! You are worried that the relationship between us and the Cold Flame Kingdom is not close enough, right? That's easy to handle!"
After that, Louise turned to Lei Xiao and said something that everyone present was unexpected: "Prince of the human race from another world, I want to ask you, are you willing to be my husband-in-law?"
As soon as Louise said this, the whole place fell into silence.
Everyone, including Lei Xiao, had an unexpected look of surprise and began to look at each other.
Ariel, in particular, looked embarrassed, but she didn't know what to say.
"What? Are you that surprised?"
Louise's fair and translucent delicate face looked like it was natural, and she continued to say with her hands on her hips: "As long as we get married, the relationship between the two countries will naturally be closer, aren't all the nobles of the human race countries
Did you do this?"
"Lord True Ancestor, even though you say so, marriage is a big deal. How can you act so hastily?"
Looking at the scene, which was a little awkward for a moment, Catherine quickly smoothed things over and said: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long term, and I hope that the true ancestor will consider it."
"What's there to consider? I have ruled the vampire clan for thousands of years. Can't I even choose my own husband?"
Louise straightened her rather proud petite body, and there was a hint of questioning in her tone.
"this……"
Seeing the aggressiveness of Lord True Ancestor, Catherine was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
"Miss Louise, I don't think our friendship can be measured by anything."
Lei Xiao stood up with a smile, nodded to Louise and said: "So, just let everything take its course. Even if you, as the true ancestor of the blood clan, don't have to do anything deliberately, the friendship between us will be unbreakable.
"
"Really? You mean that the relationship between the Cold Flame Kingdom and us is already extremely close?"
Louise's starry eyes lit up again and she asked: "Then, it's okay for me to stay here, right?"
"Of course there is no problem, but if you want to stay here, you and I still need to make an agreement."
After successfully changing the topic, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows lightly.
