In the command hall of Ice Stone City, Jiang Li stroked her chest and saluted, and reported to Lei Xiao who was standing in front of the giant sand table.
"knew."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and looked at the group of strong men and generals waiting around, except for the main strong men and stone elves in the territory.
First, there are the generals of the Cold Flame Kingdom led by Wu, Chiduo, Bert, and Jubai.
Secondly, there is the power of the Kingdom of Grim, headed by the new Saint King Lawrence and the veteran White.
Finally, there is the power of the Green Kingdom led by Eckhart and Alger.
Needless to say, these three kingdoms are all securely seated on the throne by their direct subordinates, and are completely under their control.
Further back, there are the forces of the Iron Hand Islands led by Catherine and Louise.
Although Catherine and Louise are not his subordinates yet, after a series of fighting side by side and being fed by Lei Xiao, they are no longer much different from their subordinates.
Of course, once Lei Xiao has the fifth-level recruitment order, he will naturally take the two of them into his ranks as soon as possible.
"So, four of the seven human kingdoms are already on my side?"
Lei Xiao's eyes wandered among the powerful men and generals, and finally landed on the last camp.
The first person to bear the brunt was Bing Lao, who was gearing up. Judging from his eager face, it was obvious that he wanted to test the current power of Bingshi City.
As for those standing behind Bing Lao, there are still some strong men from the neutral camp whose attitude is still unclear. Lei Xiao invited them here as observers this time.
Noticing Lei Xiao's gaze, these neutral experts all nodded in response, each with a look of hidden respect and surprise on their faces.
Most of them obviously did not expect that the Holy Lion Prince from another world would actually wave his arms and ask the kings of the three kingdoms to come to help in person, and even willingly accept the dispatch. This is already embarrassing.
It is said to be a feat that has never been done before in the human world.
But what surprised them the most was the ice stone city itself.
Although Lei Xiao has not introduced this place of gods that can only appear in legends, these well-informed and powerful people each have rich experience and sharp eyesight, and they can naturally tell that this place is definitely not
An ordinary place.
In addition, Bing Lao, who had always obeyed Lei Xiaoyan, was also the target of their surprise. After all, the weight of a genuine sixth-level powerhouse was as king-like in the human kingdoms, even as powerful as a king.
All in all, Lei Xiao's current power is enough to shock the entire human world.
Just when the neutral experts were secretly surprised in their hearts, Lei Xiao's reminder sound suddenly sounded.
After the connection, Orr's respectful voice came out: "Lord, Antonio has successfully completed the mission and is waiting in the border town of the Kingdom of Grim, Yoel Town, with the two results!"
"I came at the right time. Tell the three of them that I will pick them up personally."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then stopped talking.
The two results that Orr was talking about were none other than Pars's first princess, Cecilia, and the royal chief commander, Barnett.
Prior to this, after Lei Xiao's instruction and Antonio's active execution, Cecilia and Barnet, who were already suspicious of the Temple of Light, completely became a thorn in the side of the mysterious existence.
So much so that he was eventually deprived of military power by the old emperor and was hunted down by the strong men of the Brotherhood.
Antonio rescued the two of them from the strong men of the Brotherhood and finally brought them to Youle Town.
"Old sir, let's go here first."
Lei Xiao pointed out the location of Youle Town on the giant sand table and nodded to Bing Lao.
During this period of time, with Bing Lao's further optimization, the teleportation range of Ice Stone City has been enough to cover all the lands surrounding the Kingdom of Cold Flame and the Kingdom of Grim.
"I understand, please wait a moment."
Binglao took a step forward and started operating immediately.
Not long after, in the command hall of Ice Stone City where all the heroes gathered, three more majestic figures appeared.
However, two of them were feeling sluggish, apparently having just experienced a fierce battle not long ago.
Needless to say, these two people were Cecilia, the first princess of Pars, and Barnett, the chief commander, who had just escaped the pursuit of the powerful brothers.
Cecilia, who was dressed in a white knight's casual clothes, was pale and bare-faced. Although her long hair and clothes had been slightly taken care of, she could still see a trace of haggardness that was difficult to conceal.
If everyone didn't know Cecilia's true identity, her disgraced appearance would be unimaginable. This is the first princess who is known as the most beautiful woman in Pars.
Barnett on the side was even more embarrassed. Although he was wearing a clean and neat outfit, his arms that were not completely covered were covered with blood-stained bandages, and his pale face and neck were even covered with blood.
It was full of large and small scars, some of which had not even completely scabbed over. They were obviously caused by some kind of forbidden spell.
As for the old magician Antonio, it was the complete opposite. His red old face was full of the joy of completing the task, and he looked like he was asking for credit from Lei Xiao. Although he deliberately concealed it, it was still obvious.
During this process, when the old magician saw Bing Lao standing calmly beside him, his eyes shone with excitement, and he wanted to ask Bing Lao for advice right away.
With excitement in his heart, Antonio immediately knelt down in front of Lei Xiao and said with gratitude: "Thank you to His Highness the Holy Lion Prince for taking us in at the critical moment! If His Highness hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid we would have died in the Black Abyss Brothers.
It’s in my hands!”
With Antonio bearing the brunt, Cecilia and Barnett also knelt on one knee to express their help to Lei Xiao.
Just like what Antonio said, when the killer might arrive at any time, Lei Xiao's sheltering was indeed equivalent to saving their lives.
Among the three people who knelt on the ground, especially Cecilia, who was from the Pars royal family, her face was full of shame, and she wished she could crawl into the cracks in the ground.
You must know that not long ago, she led an aggressive attack on Fuluo Fortress in an attempt to break through the northern gate of the Cold Flame Kingdom. Although she did not gain any advantage in the end, she ended up losing her troops and returning in defeat.
But now, His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, who had been attacked by her, accepted her when she was desperate. What kind of grace and kindness was this? How could she not be ashamed?
"Please get up, everyone. Although we have had head-to-head confrontations on the battlefield, it was all under the instigation of people with ulterior motives, and it is not your fault."
Lei Xiao lowered himself to help the three of them up one by one, and said with a smile: "Since you have recognized the real enemy, I will naturally treat you as one of my own."
Lei Xiao clearly understood that whether it was Antonio, who was secretly in Cao's camp, or Cecilia and Barnett, they were the core figures of Pars.
As long as he controls them, plus Brandon, who is imprisoned by him, he will naturally be able to control the entire Pars.
Of course, the premise is to make Cecilia and Barnett completely surrender to him. The upcoming decisive battle in Glow City is the best opportunity.
"His Royal Highness's capacity is comparable to that of the sea, and I will never forget it!"
Cecilia's fair face was full of gratitude. She nodded heavily to Lei Xiao and said, "As long as His Highness the Prince gives the order, I am willing to make up for my past mistakes and fight to the end with those bastards from the Temple of Light!"
According to the planned plan of Lei Xiao and Antonio, after Antonio successfully killed Adair, the chief archbishop of Pars, Cecilia and Barnett were deprived of their military power and were immediately killed by a group of Black Abyss brothers.
Those who know how to be strong will pursue them with all their might.
Faced with such a situation, Cecilia, who was already smart, quickly understood that there must be some kind of connection between the Black Abyss Brotherhood and the Temple of Light, so she pointed the finger directly at the Temple of Light.
After hearing Cecilia's gritted words, our strong men and generals naturally felt the same and nodded their heads.
The neutral strongmen who were still confused immediately began to look at each other in confusion.
Antonio just finished saying that he was being chased by the powerful men of the Black Abyss Brotherhood. Why did Cecilia point all this to the Temple of Light?
In addition to doubts in their hearts, everyone cast a look of surprise at Lei Xiao.
In any case, I didn't expect that even three famous and powerful men from Pars would come to join us. The courage of this Holy Lion Prince is really amazing.
As for Cecilia and the three people who had just entered the command hall, after the initial excitement, they immediately noticed that so many famous strong men and generals from the human world were gathered here. For a moment, they couldn't help but feel embarrassed, not knowing what to say.
.
"Your Highness Cecilia, General Barnett, these are some insignificant healing potions and recovery potions. I hope they can help you get back to normal faster."
Lei Xiao casually took out some fifth-level potions and handed them to the hands of the two of them respectively. He smiled at Barnett and said: "Especially General Barnett, the injuries on your face caused by the forbidden spells are also very serious.
It will be back to normal soon.”
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the gift!"
After receiving the precious potion that they rarely get to see, both of them were filled with gratitude. They were about to kneel down on the ground again, but were helped up by Lei Xiao.
Among them, Barnett, who was still somewhat resistant to Lei Xiao in his heart, could not stop shaking his shoulders and had a complicated look on his face.
The value of these fifth-level magic potions that Lei Xiao casually gave was enough to surpass all the gifts he had received from Emperor Pars over the past few decades, which can be seen from this.
While Cecilia was grateful, there was even a hint of fear in her heart. She didn't expect that before this, she was actually overestimating her abilities in a confrontation with such a behemoth. No wonder she would be defeated so completely.
"It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."
Lei Xiao still maintained a faint smile, but soon his expression became solemn again, and said: "You two, everyone here is a warrior who is about to fight together, so there is no need to be restrained."
"And there is only one target we are about to face, and that is Glow City, the home of the Temple of Light. This is a battle that will determine the fate of the human world."
At this point, Lei Xiao's tone softened a bit, and he nodded and said: "The three of you have just experienced a fierce battle, why not just recuperate in the city."
"Your Highness, what are you talking about?"
Antonio, who had never had a chance to show off, was the first to jump out, blowing his beard and staring: "His Royal Highness the Prince saved our lives. We would have been hard-pressed to repay our lives, and now, His Highness the Prince is working for the human world again."
If we are fighting for our future, how can we sit back and enjoy the results?"
The old magician became more and more excited as he spoke, and said righteously: "Your Highness, please put me on the front line of the most dangerous situation. I will do my best to do my best for Your Highness and the human world!"
"You are right. The Temple of Light is trying to control me, Pars, and has even turned my father into a puppet to sow the father-daughter relationship between me and my father. As the first princess of Pars, I am at odds with him.
"
Cecilia also took a step forward, nodded heavily and said: "Now, His Royal Highness is in charge of the overall situation, how can I retreat? Please be sure to put me on the front line!"
"The general is also willing to obey His Royal Highness the Prince's orders!"
Barnett was even more simple and direct, saying sternly: "Please do as you please, Your Highness the Prince. I will definitely do my best to repay Your Highness the Prince's great kindness!"
As the three people requested orders one after another, the atmosphere in the command hall began to become more and more exciting.
This is exactly what Lei Xiao wants to see.
"I have already felt your boiling fighting spirit. With you here, the human world will never lose hope."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then pointed to the center of the sand table, nodded to Bing Lao and said: "Old sir, the destination is Glow City, the Holy City, let's go!"
After receiving Lei Xiao's instructions, Binglao immediately began to take action, and a series of reports sounded in the hall.
"The jump magic circle is charging...charging completed!"
"The walls in all parts of the city are on guard, and all soldiers are ready for battle!"
"Absolute defense barrier to achieve maximum power, invisibility function is turned on!"
As the last report sounded, all the magic projections in the command hall suddenly turned into a deep blue.
This flash of blue passed by until everything returned to normal.
On the main screen in the center of the command hall, a huge city like a dormant beast has appeared in front of everyone.
It is the Glowing City that has been closed for hundreds of years.
I saw that the sky here had long been covered by thick black fog, making it impossible to distinguish between day and night, and everything was dark and hazy.
Under the black fog, the Glow City, where the Holy Light had long since disappeared, was also shrouded in layers of thick gray fog, appearing mysterious and strange.
At the junction between heaven and earth, the two kinds of mist are constantly squirming with each other, seeming to be creating a strange fusion.
Seeing this ominous and unknown scene, everyone could not help but frown and clenched their fists.
Lei Xiao, on the other hand, had a sharp gaze and began to further observe the opponent's lair.
