Astonished, Lawrence's old, slightly cloudy eyes suddenly became much brighter, and he quickly asked Lei Xiao: "His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, what do you mean by this?"
"literal meaning."
Lei Xiao looked at Lawrence's old eyes covered with crow's feet and smiled: "His Royal Highness Prince Yaoguang should understand what I mean better than anyone else."
"His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, I still can't believe it."
Lawrence hesitated for a while, then forced himself to calm down his restless mind, and cautiously asked, "Do you want to help me ascend the throne of the Kingdom of Grim?"
"Yes, since Holy King William is dead, His Royal Highness Prince Yaoguang, who is connected to him by blood, naturally also has the right to inherit the throne of Grimm."
Lei Xiao nodded calmly, still maintaining a faint smile and said: "Isn't this a natural thing?"
"According to the Grimm Code, I am indeed the heir to the throne."
Lawrence's old face still had a puzzled expression, and he asked doubtfully: "But why did His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince choose to help me?"
"Prince Yaoguang, I am not just helping you, but I am trying to help myself."
Lei Xiao said that famous saying again, and his smile faded: "You must know best that the royal family of the Kingdom of Grim is currently in danger, and has even existed in name only. What do you think the Temple of Light will do next?"
"I believe that the other party will definitely confuse right and wrong and define the Kingdom of Cold Flame as the culprit of William's death, in order to arouse indignation and hatred within the Kingdom of Grim."
Lawrence barely hesitated and blurted out: "At that time, His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince and his soldiers will face countless people of the Kingdom of Grim who have been kept in the dark and even alienated!"
"That's right, so I need a spokesperson, a spokesperson who can tell the truth."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and said, "I don't need to let the entire Kingdom of Grim fall into the abyss of war. My goal is only the main hall of the Temple of Light in the Holy Capital, and that's it."
"His Royal Highness's kindness and wisdom are extremely admirable."
Lawrence reacted immediately and blurted out with respect.
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao just smiled lightly and did not answer immediately.
The main reason why Lei Xiao did this was just to quickly control the entire Kingdom of Grim, including not only the upgrade resources needed to become stronger, but also all aspects such as population and productivity.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that even though the continent he was on was extremely vast, its resources were relatively limited after all, and it would take a relatively long time to recover.
In the future, under the premise of confronting other foreign lords, that is, tiles and tiles, population, productivity, and military strength will be extremely important and precious resources in one's hands. Naturally, the more the better.
Only by integrating all the resources of the entire sector to the maximum extent can we gain an advantage in future wars between lords.
Under such circumstances, how to obtain the greatest results at the smallest cost is undoubtedly an art of war.
Furthermore, Lei Xiao also understood clearly.
While the foreign lords are all frantically attacking cities and territories on their respective tiles, their lack of time will never change, because their opponents are always taking action.
Only by controlling more resources and power as soon as possible can you have greater capital to face the unpredictable plate war that will follow.
Therefore, just like Ariel did at that time, supporting a spokesperson to work for herself in front of the stage is obviously the best choice.
While Lei Xiao was thinking this, he stated his request for the other party.
Lawrence is not only responsible for conveying the truth to the people of the Kingdom of Grim and exposing the evil deeds of the Temple of Light in his capacity and influence as Prince Yaoguang and heir to the throne.
Moreover, he must find ways to win the support of the princes and nobles of the Kingdom of Grim who still remain rational, and lay the foundation for his subsequent ascension to the throne.
"To be honest, Your Highness the Holy Lion Prince, although I have long been squeezed out of the center of power in the Kingdom of Grim, I have never given up paying attention to the situation in the Kingdom of Grim at the next moment, and I know everything in the palace well."
Lawrence nodded heavily, and said with a serious look on his old face: "I believe that evil will not prevail against good. With the reputation of His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince and my efforts, I will eventually win the support of the people and nobles!"
As Lawrence said this, he was so excited that his body started to tremble slightly.
Back then, Prince Grim was the most promising to inherit the throne, and he was also working hard towards the throne.
However, due to his carelessness and William's secret obstruction, he finally missed the throne.
Furthermore, he was transformed from a high-spirited young prince to a dispensable and marginalized member of the royal family. He had to be cautious at all times to prevent William from finding a reason to kill him.
Decades have passed, and whenever I have some free time, I have been daydreaming about how far the Kingdom of Grim would have developed today if I had become a Holy King.
And every time I heard that William had donated a large amount of royal property to the Temple of Light, I felt so sad and helpless.
You know, since I was young, I have always been suspicious and wary of this neutral organization that is too close to the royal family.
Sometimes I even doubt that the reason why William finally wore the crown of the Holy King was because the Temple of Light secretly provided huge help from the beginning!
Now, having lost the entire fleet, not only has he not been killed, but he has the hope of realizing his youthful dream. This is as unbelievable as a dream!
Everything changed because of meeting this young man from another world with unfathomable strength!
While he was extremely excited in his heart, Lawrence's excited old face showed a trace of uncertainty again, and he said uneasily to Lei Xiao: "His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, are you sure you really want to help me ascend to the throne?"
"The Grimm royal family has flourishing branches. Although His Highness Prince Yaoguang is a good candidate, it is not the only choice."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "I believe His Highness the Prince understands what I mean, right?"
"His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince not only did not look down on me, the defeated general, but spared my life. He also gave me the opportunity to display my lifelong dreams and ambitions, allowing me to find the passion and excitement I had not seen for a long time."
Lawrence's old eyes were full of gratitude, and he said sincerely: "The most important thing is that His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince is even thinking about the people of the Kingdom of Grim. This simply makes this member of the royal family feel ashamed. With such a supreme kindness, I
Apart from bowing to the feet of His Highness the Prince, nay, the Lord, what other options are there?"
After saying that, without any hesitation, Lawrence knelt down in front of Lei Xiao and said sternly: "My subordinate Lawrence Yaoguang is willing to swear allegiance to the lord to the death!"
"Then let's start signing the contract."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and took out the newly upgraded fourth-level recruitment order.
Not long after, a familiar prompt sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Congratulations, Lawrence Yaoguang, the fourth-order nine-star water flow great magician, has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】
"Since you choose to be loyal to me, I will never let you down."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and while lifting the opponent up, he opened the opponent's attribute bar.
[Skill 2: Wild Water Disaster "Active" (ice attribute spell wide area attack, additional piercing effect)]
[Skill 3: Waterfall Rapids Wall "Active" (ice attribute defense spell, can be automatically repaired, and has outstanding effects on water terrain)]
[Skill 4: Mastery of Water Attribute Magic "Passive" (When using ice attribute magic, the damage will be moderately increased)]
"As expected of a naval commander, he is also a great magician of water flow."
After closing the opponent's attribute bar, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
In this way, everything will undoubtedly go according to his plan.
Although Lawrence has long since lost his power, his reputation and reputation in the Kingdom of Grim have always been good, which will surely resolve the incitement of the Temple of Light to a considerable extent, allowing us to attack the city with ease.
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, he heard the sound of hurried words.
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao casually opened the speaker and Orr's voice came out: "Lord Qi, everything is as you expected. The Grim Royal Family and the Temple of Light released news at the same time.
, Hall, the first prince of the Kingdom of Grim, has been crowned king in the Holy City under the auspices of Pope Ganelon IX."
"Furthermore, the other party not only completely blamed William's death on our heads, saying that he was killed by our strong men, but also said that the two mutations of the soldiers were all caused by Holy King William, the Holy King of Light.
Instead, the temple became a powerless savior."
"At the same time, the newly crowned new Holy King Hall also gave a tearful speech, saying that he would never give up resistance and called on everyone to avenge the old Holy King. The Kingdom of Grim and the Temple of Light will definitely fight to the end.
"
After listening to Orr's description, Lei Xiao and the newly conquered Prince Yaoguang Lawrence looked at each other.
All the developments were exactly the same as the content of the chat just now.
While looking at each other, Lei Xiao once again described the current situation between the enemy and ourselves, especially the matter of our side attacking the other side from three sides.
"His Royal Highness Prince Yaoguang, how do you think we should make this move next?"
After describing everything, Lei Xiao nodded to Lawrence.
"Lord, please call your subordinates by their first names."
The old prince first waved his hand in flattery, and then frowned and said: "First of all, the southern area of the Kingdom of Grim that the Dark Green Kingdom is attacking is full of high mountains, and there are many steep fortresses. Even if most of the defensive troops are deployed, I am afraid that we
It will be difficult for the party to achieve continuous and effective results in a short period of time."
"After all, the cavalry of the Dark Green Kingdom is the best among all human nations. They are especially good at plain battles, but they are unable to carry out difficult battles in complex mountains."
"So my subordinates believe that the lord can let Eckhardt achieve certain substantial results when the opponent is caught off guard, and then gradually turn to the defensive to confront the opponent's subsequent deployment and recruitment of defenders, so as to contain the opponent's attack.
Southern forces."
After hearing what Lawrence said, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and said: "It's exactly what I want. Originally, I didn't plan to let Eckhart be the main attack direction. Firstly, the Dark Green Kingdom's troops are limited; secondly,
The Dark Green Kingdom is not yet completely stable internally, and Eckhart must first stabilize the internal situation as soon as possible and secure his throne before he can wholeheartedly go to war."
After saying that, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and motioned for Lawrence to continue speaking.
"Secondly, although the backstab direction of the Iron Hand Islands is perfect, there is a thorny problem, that is, the Iron Hand Islands are currently facing two fronts, the Pars Empire and the Kingdom of Grim, and both have already occupied
There are many cities, which will inevitably make it difficult to balance supplies and troops."
Lawrence gently rubbed his chin and continued: "My subordinates believe that the Iron Hand Islands should gradually shrink the front line and devote the main force to the battlefield of the Kingdom of Grim, while the battlefield of the Pars Empire should take advantage of the empty strength of the opponent's troops.
After capturing several key fortresses that are easy to defend but difficult to attack and easy to supply, we then shifted to a defensive posture."
"This captured area can be used as a fortress with our side that has accumulated heavy troops on the other side. It also plays a role in containing the Pars Empire, making it difficult for them to look after each other, and they will not have the power to send troops to intervene in the Kingdom of Grim in a short period of time.
battlefield."
At this point, Lawrence added: "In this way, the Iron Hand Islands will be able to cooperate with our activities more easily."
"Exactly what I thought."
Lei Xiao lightly snapped his fingers and muttered: "With the strength of the Iron Hand Archipelago, plus its enchantment restrictions, once the main force of the Pars Empire withdraws from the Buluo Fortress returns to support, a two-front battle will begin.
It’s really too strenuous.”
After that, Lei Xiao asked again: "What about the final direction of Sunset Fortress where we are about to send troops?"
"Back to Lord, this aspect is the most critical point for our side. I believe that the other side is currently trying its best to mobilize the hatred and hostility of the people of Grim against us, and also describes himself who was originally planning to become an intruder.
Innocent victims, the means can be described as extremely despicable."
Lawrence's gray eyebrows furrowed and he responded: "So, we not only have to use combat power to crush the opponent, but we also have to attack the heart first and try to make the people recognize the reality."
“How should we act specifically?”
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and continued to ask.
"I think we can start from two main aspects."
Lawrence's eyes were bright and he responded respectfully: "The first is to destroy the source of evil along the way in advance, which is all the branches of the Temple of Light."
"What about the second point?"
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and continued to listen to the other party's words.
