Chapter 1245 New allegiance and lords considerations
Seeing the crowd in the square, Lei Xiao took further notice while walking towards the high platform at the top under the guidance of Catherine and Louise.
In the front of the crowd, there was not only the figure of Prince Valentin of the Spirit Wand, but also five other vampire princes who had fought alongside Lei Xiao.
A little further back, Lei Xiao also saw another group of familiar figures, which were the phantom maids who helped maintain the illusion barrier.
The other people behind them all had pale faces, staring at dark circles under their eyes, and the fangs at the corners of their mouths were sometimes looming, which was the symbol of the vampire clan.
Among them, there are not only the blood clan soldiers in neat queues, but also many vampire civilians wearing ordinary clothes. The figures of men, women, old and children are clearly visible.
"Your Highness, as you can see, here are all the pure blood of my blood clan gathered here, a total of 120,610 people."
Catherine's voice was solemn, and she said sternly to Lei Xiao: "There is only one reason why we are gathered here today, and that is to implore His Highness to sign a surrender contract with us. We are willing to swear in the name of the blood in our bodies to follow you to the death.
Your Highness, I am willing to be the sharp sword in His Highness’ hands and share the same destiny with His Highness!”
After Catherine finished speaking, Louise also came forward and said with a smile: "Prince of the human race, this is what happened. This is the result of joint discussion between this lady, Catherine and all the vampires. Please don't refuse."
"As long as you agree, all the vampires present will be your servants at your disposal, including me, of course."
At this point, Louise waved her hand quickly and added: "But don't think wrongly, the reason why I made this decision is just because you saved the lives of everyone present and won our respect.
and awe, it’s definitely not because you have been unwilling to become my husband, so I am being disrespectful..."
After hearing what Catherine and Louise said, Lei Xiao's expression was calmer, but Ariel, Hezhuang, Hongye and other subordinates who were accompanying him all looked in disbelief.
You must know that everyone is aware of the arrogance of the blood clan. What's more, signing a surrender contract requires the consent of more than 99% of the individuals in the clan's bloodline who have the ability to think independently. You can imagine how difficult it is.
After all, there are more than 100,000 vampires present. Only when everyone present wholeheartedly surrenders to Lei Xiao's feet can this step be finally achieved!
With great surprise in her heart, Ariel's starry eyes flickered, looking at the calmness on Lei Xiao's face, and then she fully understood the meaning of the latter's words not long ago.
It turns out that the lord had anticipated everything from the very beginning!
In the center of the audience, just as Ariel had imagined, Lei Xiao himself, already standing in the middle of the high platform, looked at the dark crowd with an expected expression.
As long as Catherine and others swear allegiance, he will undoubtedly become the true master of the human race.
"Your Highness, please don't refuse!"
Seeing that Lei Xiao did not reply immediately, Catherine's fair cheeks were filled with anxiety, and she added: "Your Highness, since you sacrificed your life to repair the "Blood Feast Barrier" and saved countless people here, you have won
Without our respect, let alone saving everyone from those countless raging roots."
"As our savior, we have long regarded you as our true master in our hearts."
Catherine became more and more excited, and finally knelt down on one knee and said: "So, please, Your Highness, never refuse!"
"Please, Your Highness, never refuse!"
Including Louise, the more than 100,000 figures present also knelt on the ground with reverence on their faces, swearing their inner loyalty to Lei Xiao with their actions.
As everyone's neat voices fell, a familiar prompt sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Dear Lord, the Crimson Clan would like to sign a surrender contract with you. Do you agree? 】
"Since you have chosen to surrender to me, from this moment on, everyone will come under my protection. As long as I am still standing here, there will always be a place for you in this land. I will lead you to glory and achieve
An unprecedented peak.”
Lei Xiao's calm and unquestionable voice echoed in the huge square, and he agreed to the requests of the vampires in his heart.
The golden contracts suspended in mid-air then appeared out of thin air, appearing in front of every pale face, shining with brilliant and soft light.
Louise and Catherine were the first to bear the brunt. Without hesitation, they gathered a pure blood-colored energy on their fingertips and pressed it on the golden contract solemnly.
After that, whether it was Valentin and other blood princes, the phantom maid, or other members of the crimson clan, they all made the same move, without any hesitation in their blood-colored eyes.
As the golden contracts came into effect one by one, they became brighter and brighter, and lines of translucent text soon appeared in front of Lei Xiao as if they were swiping across the screen.

…
Just as the prompt ended, a new attribute interface popped up in front of Lei Xiao.
[Name: Crimson Tribe]
[Race: Vampire]
[Submission: 100]
【Population: 120610】
「Male:60290」
「Female:60320」
"First level: 0"
"Level 2:100270"
"Level 3:20123"
"Level 4: 209"
"Level 5:8"
【Number of buildings: 20580】
"Is the surrender level actually full once it reaches the upper limit? It saves some time."
Lei Xiao looked at the numbers on the attribute bar and raised his eyebrows slightly.
It's no wonder, after all, at the beginning, my strength was still too weak.
Whether it was Bai Zhi and other half-elves, or Bai Wei and other Snow Wolf clan, they all took a little effort to subdue them, but Catherine and Louise surrendered actively. It is not surprising that such a result occurred.
"I already know the population number that exceeds six figures, and vampire individuals have been in the second level since their birth, so there is no first level existence."
"As for the total number of people in the third level, does it exceed the size of two legions? This is already an extremely good proportion, far exceeding the average level in the human world."
"After all, the vampires have a long lifespan. Although they cannot be compared with the first-tier races such as the elves, they are still quite impressive. What's more, they suffered several defeats before I came."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and continued to observe on the attribute bar.
"More than 200 level 4 powerhouses are also a considerable number, but are there 8 level 5 powerhouses in total?"
Lei Xiao opened the detailed list of fifth-level powerhouses and took a closer look.
"Louis who is half-step to the sixth level, Catherine and Valentin who are at the peak of the fifth level, and there are five other blood princes? They are all old faces who have fought side by side."
Lei Xiao closed the attribute interface and took a deep breath.
At this point, after the other six monarchs were subordinated, Catherine and Louise also formally swore allegiance, making all the royal power of the seven human kingdoms in their hands.
"Everyone, please stand up. We still have a long way to go in the future. I will walk side by side with you until the end of time."
Lei Xiao lowered his body to help Louise and Catherine up respectively, and nodded to everyone present.
"This subordinate is willing to go through fire and water for the lord!"
A neat and powerful response followed, and it lasted for a long time in the huge palace square.
"Great, human prince, no, Lord Lord!"
Louise squeezed into Lei Xiao's arms, her delicate face full of excitement and said: "From now on, my subordinates are the lord's people!"
"Lord True Ancestor, you are so unreasonable to the lord!"
Seeing this, Catherine looked at a loss. She wanted to stop him but didn't know how to do it, so she had to say, "There are still so many tribesmen watching."
"Hey, don't think that I don't know this. Catherine, in fact, you also want to do this, right?"
Louise pouted, then reluctantly jumped off Lei Xiao.
"Okay, go and get ready. The meeting will start soon. You can just go to the venue with me."
Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and walked down the platform surrounded by his subordinates.
After waiting for a while in the most luxurious lounge in the castle, Louise and Catherine were ready to go and reappeared in front of Lei Xiao.
Seeing that it was not yet noon, Lei Xiao casually asked some questions about the Iron Hand Islands.
The most critical point among them is the matter about the "Blood Feast Barrier".
Lei Xiao had already learned about this before.
Catherine's royal sister used herself as the center of the formation, and then launched the "Blood Feast Ceremony", converting all the residents of the entire country into special blood relatives, so that the residents gained some blood characteristics, such as longer lifespan.
A stronger body and stronger regeneration ability.
The only drawback is that it cannot leave the coverage area of the "Blood Feast Barrier".
Even though he later fully activated the "Blood Feast Barrier", allowing the human soldiers to escape from the barrier's coverage, there was still a time limit and they needed to return to the barrier regularly to recuperate.
But in any case, this obviously enhanced the soldiers' combat capabilities to a great extent.
"My subordinates know it! Lord, do you want more human soldiers to be blessed by the "Blood Feast Barrier"?"
Louise's eyes lit up, she nodded with enlightenment and said: "Theoretically, this is indeed feasible, but there are three issues that need to be considered."
"My true ancestor is right, let me let my subordinates explain it in detail to my lord."
Catherine took over the conversation and continued: "First, this special transformation is not something that can be completed overnight. It requires at least a hundred years of precipitation. During this period, this part of the combat power cannot be moved to other places.
Able to move within the barrier."
"Secondly, the overall number of people who can convert is also limited. For example, the barrier on the Iron Hand Islands is already reaching saturation."
Catherine's voice became more solemn and she added: "As for the third, it was one of the considerations at the time, and it was based on the consideration of population growth."
"After all, the food produced here is limited. It was also blocked by the Pars Empire and the Kingdom of Grim at that time. Even if aquatic resources are added, it cannot supply an increasing population. And with the substantial increase in life span, the new
The population increase will also plummet."
After listening to Catherine's explanation, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and said thoughtfully: "Ignoring everything else, will it take at least a hundred years to complete the conversion?"
"From this point of view alone, this is something that cannot be replicated."
"After all, what I lack most now is time. Let alone a hundred years of accumulation, even if it takes a year, it is probably too late."
Having said that, Lei Xiao didn't take this matter to heart anymore.
In addition to the many restrictions mentioned above, the disadvantages of the "Blood Feast Ceremony" are also obvious. Once the core of the barrier is deliberately destroyed by the enemy, even if the dependent soldiers who cannot get supplies can persist for a while, they will eventually have no choice but to perish. This will
Become a fatal weakness.
"If you think about it carefully, as long as the current resources of the Iron Hand Islands are well developed, both the vampires themselves and the dependent soldiers can still provide me with an extremely powerful combat force."
"After all, raising the level of soldiers to a certain level and pursuing quality is much more effective than blindly increasing quantity. Otherwise, if you use a high-level spell, the results can be imagined."
"Furthermore, it is extremely important to strengthen the protection of the core of the barrier."
With this in mind, Lei Xiao discussed with Catherine some plans to enhance the overall strength of the soldiers and strengthen the palace's defense measures based on his own ideas.
It wasn't until the time was almost up that the group of people returned to Ice Stone City and headed towards Glow City together.
