"No matter how deep the long night is, the sun will eventually rise. As long as we work together, we will see the dawn of victory, even if it is extremely slim."
Lei Xiao's eyes were piercing, and he began to summarize the final meeting: "I believe that with the protection of your majesties and your excellencies, the Kingdom of Cold Flame will eventually be indestructible!"
Having said that, Lei Xiao began to make the next deployment non-stop.
First of all, it goes without saying much about the reconstruction work of each fortress. After the fierce battle, most of them have been seriously damaged and must be restored to normal condition as soon as possible.
Secondly, the arrangements for the alliance forces of Holy Night Kingdom and Canlan Federation to drop troops, as well as King Grim's troops to drop troops, must be watertight and not give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of them.
Finally, except for the Ye Cang interrogation and the purification of Holy Queen Sophia, which have been previously arranged, according to the scheduled plan, our army with the Dark Green Kingdom and the Iron Hand Islands will attack the Kingdom of Grim. Later, we will also start from
Set off from the Sunset Fortress and try to reduce the power of the Temple of Light as much as possible.
Lei Xiao himself, Ariel, as well as important heroic spirits such as Thor, are responsible for the continuation of the heroic spirits' time in the world, giving speeches in various places to stabilize people's hearts, and meeting with representatives of the other two neutral organizations and other important government matters.
At the same time, spies located in various countries must collect intelligence to the maximum extent and grasp the trends in various places in real time.
By taking both internal and external considerations into consideration, we can seize the initiative to the greatest extent and fight against the unfathomable Temple of Light one by one.
After all, the opponent's next move is currently unclear, and we are still unable to take corresponding countermeasures.
"In addition to the above points, wounded soldiers everywhere must be properly taken care of. I will continue to increase the coverage of healing potions to restore health to the soldiers as soon as possible."
"Soldiers who retired due to injury or died in battle will immediately receive adequate pensions. I will not allow any soldier who fought for the Cold Flame Kingdom to receive any unfair treatment. They are all heroes who protect this country."
"At the same time, there must be no slack in the recruitment and training of new recruits in various places."
After that, Lei Xiao ended the meeting amid the respectful responses from the officials and soldiers.
Then, the huge state machinery of the Lengyan Kingdom began to operate at extremely high speed according to Lei Xiao's instructions.
After everything was arranged properly, Lei Xiao immediately went to Crystal Blue City. After successfully retrieving a large number of star crystals, he quickly returned to the Lion King's Palace in the palace with Ariel and Thor.
It is worth mentioning that Lei Xiao learned this by looking at the attribute column.
As expected, Star Crystal, like the Holy Yun Stone, is a rare level 5 rare resource. As for the place of origin, there is still no label.
"Your Highness, just put the star crystal on the altar."
In the Hall of Valor deep in the Palace of the Lion King, Thor was full of excitement and nodded heavily to Lei Xiao.
After a series of contacts, the second Lengyan Lord, who claimed to be second only to the hero King Wang Xi, was completely impressed by Lei Xiao, and even his tone clearly revealed a touch of respect.
"Understood."
Lei Xiao waved his hand, and piles of star crystals emerged out of thin air, covering the entire altar.
Star crystal is an extremely peculiar mineral, its whole body is a deep dark blue, with dots of dazzling gold scattered throughout it. Each piece looks like a night sky shining with stars.
For a time, a large number of star crystals shine brightly, as if people are instantly in a dreamy and wonderful night sky, and they can pick off the stars with just raising their hands.
With the appearance of the star crystal, the entire altar also shone brightly.
I saw a dazzling golden light falling from the sky, covering all this rare ore that had long been lost in the torrent of history.
Not long after, a prompt sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Your subordinate King Ariel's miraculous building "Lion King's Palace" has been charged, and the duration of the building's special effect "Cold Flame Immortal Kings and Asylum of Heroic Spirits" has been increased, currently 8760h]
"8760 hours? Does it only take 1000 units of star crystals to increase to 1 year?"
When the golden light dissipated, Lei Xiao looked at the empty altar and nodded with satisfaction.
This undoubtedly means that the resources he currently possesses are enough to keep these heroic spirits alive for 100 years.
"As expected of His Royal Highness, he is indeed extraordinary!"
Thor's body also had a flash of golden light, and his resolute face was full of excitement, and he said with joy: "If this crisis can be successfully overcome, I must take a good look at this land again!"
"If this crisis can be successfully overcome, my first goal is to allow you to travel freely throughout the human world."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, his voice sonorous and powerful.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that at present, in addition to the Cold Flame Kingdom, having Eckhart's allegiance to him was essentially equivalent to gaining the entire Dark Green Kingdom.
After experiencing a series of events, Catherine of the Iron Hand Islands was completely on the same side as him, not to mention Louise, who was manipulated by him.
As for whether the relationship with the blood clan can be further developed, it is not impossible.
This means that the seven human kingdoms themselves have already conquered the three kingdoms, and are not far away from completely controlling the human world.
Of course, this prerequisite is that you must cross an unshakable giant peak in front of you, which is the Temple of Light.
"I didn't expect that His Highness the Prince has such lofty ambitions."
Thor naturally immediately understood what Lei Xiao was referring to, and there was a bit of uncontrollable admiration in his tone. Unifying the human world is something that everyone in history has dreamed of, but no monarch has ever dreamed of.
Great achievements achieved!
"Ancestor Thor, his ambition is not just that!"
Ariel's fair face was full of pride, and she smiled knowingly at Lei Xiao and said, "His ambition is to be in the sea of stars in this world!"
"It seems like you, girl, have really found an amazing Holy Lion Prince."
Thor's face was also full of excitement, and he couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the human world, no, this world will soon usher in a huge change."
After hearing Sol's sigh, Lei Xiao had a solemn look on his face.
Yes, just like what the other party said, including the unknown catastrophe that has been lingering in his mind, this world will surely undergo an unexpected change.
And I am already standing on the cusp of drastic changes. Whether I go with the flow or become the helmsman to guide everything depends on my own strength.
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao gathered his thoughts, nodded to Ariel and Sol, and said, "Okay, let's leave here first."
After that, everyone started to act separately.
Ariel and some subordinates and heroic spirits went to various places to stabilize people's hearts, while Lei Xiao, accompanied by Tiger Stick and Red Night, came to the Iron Hand Islands where Prince Yaoguang Lawrence was imprisoned.
Since the meeting with the representatives of the other two neutral organizations was still being arranged, Lei Xiao took the time to prepare to deal with the old prince of the Kingdom of Grim.
"His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, why are you here?"
In a dark and damp secret room, the gray-faced Lawrence had just been escorted over by two powerful vampires, and he immediately saw Lei Xiao sitting directly opposite.
"Dear His Highness Prince Yaoguang, we meet again."
Lei Xiao looked at the surprised old prince and smiled.
"His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, what exactly is going on with you?"
A trace of panic appeared on Lawrence's old face, and he said tremblingly: "You are not here to execute me, are you? Could it be that the Kingdom of Cold Flame and the Kingdom of Grim have reached an agreement to stop the war, and the condition is that my head will be handed over to me.
Holy King William?”
"Unfortunately, the war is not over, but Holy King William died on the battlefield last night."
Lei Xiao suppressed his smile and said calmly.
"What? William is dead?!"
Lawrence's old eyes were wide open and he could hardly believe his ears.
After a long while, Lawrence finally came back to his senses. His surprised old face was filled with solemnity and relief, and he quickly asked: "Did His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince kill William?"
"It's not me, but an Archbishop named Scott."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and while briefly describing what happened, he carefully observed the changes in the expression on the other person's face.
Lawrence, who had always been regarded as a thorn in William's side, showed an expression of relief as he had expected.
"Scott? This guy is usually very close to William. I didn't expect that he would be the one to do it."
Lawrence nodded thoughtfully, but was not too shocked.
"Your Highness Prince Yaoguang, you don't seem surprised."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and stared into the other person's brown eyes.
"William has always been the most devout believer in the Temple of Light. In recent years, he has become extremely crazy, even to the point of compromising the interests of the royal family, and donated immeasurable royal property to the Temple of Light."
Lawrence sighed softly, shook his head helplessly and said: "Although others think that William is further strengthening the relationship with the Temple of Light and is thinking about the Kingdom of Grim, and is not to the point of being ignorant of propriety, but next
But he thinks that William has long become a puppet of the Temple of Light."
"This desperate attack on the Cold Flame Kingdom is the best example of this. If William hadn't made a desperate move and transferred a large number of airship troops deployed along the coast, I wouldn't have been defeated so cleanly..."
At this point, Lawrence quickly stopped talking and said: "In short, since William has become the other party's puppet, it is naturally a normal thing for the other party to abandon William when they are desperate."
"How does Prince Yaoguang think the situation in the Kingdom of Grim will change next after William's death?"
Lei Xiao held his chin with one hand and continued to ask.
"In recent years, with William's connivance, the Temple of Light has almost secretly controlled the voice of the Grimm Palace, causing many ministers to side with the Temple of Light and no longer consider the royal family."
Lawrence sighed heavily and responded: "Although I don't know how far the war has developed, as long as the Temple of Light is willing, it can easily set up another puppet and continue to secretly control the Kingdom of Grim."
"It seems that Prince Yaoguang is wiser than I thought."
After listening to the other party's analysis, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
Then, Lei Xiao carefully described to the other party the scenes that happened on the battlefield last night.
"What?! William actually transformed 10 of the most elite royal knights into mutant giants?!"
Lawrence's old eyes almost came out of their sockets, and he blurted out: "I expected that William would be crazy, but I didn't expect that he would actually be crazy to the point of losing his mind. That is the foundation of the royal family."
"Although I finally made those mutated soldiers stop, the physical changes and overdraft of vitality cannot be reversed at all."
Lei Xiao recalled the scene on the city wall and said helplessly: "The only thing I can do is to prevent them from dying in the wilderness."
"Thank you, His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, for your kindness."
Lawrence nodded solemnly, and there was a touch of sadness on his old face again: "What I didn't expect is that William would not even let go of the Guards Corps. You know, there are many talents in the Guards Corps, but they have gathered together
The future of the Kingdom of Grim."
"What do His Highnesses, Prince Yaoguang, think of these mutated forbidden arts that I described?"
Lei Xiao gently rubbed his chin and asked again.
"I can be absolutely sure that this is definitely not a spell that the Grim royal family can perform, so the answer is self-evident."
Lawrence gritted his teeth and said angrily: "I didn't expect that the Temple of Light had fallen to such an extent. It not only actively provoked an all-out war between the human world and the Cold Flame Kingdom, but also used such dark and cruel forbidden methods.
This technique has made both the Kingdom of Grim and the Kingdom of Cold Flame become victims. This is simply the source of all evil in the human world!"
"Then where does His Highness Prince Yaoguang think the Kingdom of Grim will go next?"
Lei Xiao still had that tepid expression and asked the other party questions again.
"I'm afraid that the Grimm royal family will be completely drained soon, making the entire kingdom completely a puppet of the Temple of Light. I can't even imagine that under the rule of the Temple of Light, the Kingdom of Grimm will be completely drained.
What kind of terrible situation will happen to our people."
Lawrence's old face was deeply wrinkled, as if he had aged several years again.
After all, he was a member of the Grimm royal family of the same generation as William. Although he was suppressed to the edge and almost lost his power and status, he still never wanted to see this happen.
But he is just an insignificant prisoner and has long been squeezed out of the center of power of the Grimm royal family. What can he do?
"Your Highness, Prince Yaoguang, I have deeply felt your worries and fears."
Lei Xiao looked at the old prince in front of him with satisfaction and said with a smile: "What if I can give you a chance to save or even change everything?"
"What?!"
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, Lawrence's old eyes widened again, as if he saw a beam of light. ()
