"Your Lordship is indeed right, it is truly a shocking sight!"
As the gate of Ice Stone City reopened, Xiaojing's fair face was suddenly filled with surprise.
What appeared in front of her turned out to be a huge city built on the sea.
The design style of this city is quite unique. Except for the side facing the sea, giant trenches were dug on the other three sides. Eventually, it was completely connected to the sea, forming an extremely large protective sea.
As the tide surges, the entire city looks like a giant fortress on the sea, which is quite shocking.
It was almost dusk, and the two suns were slowly sinking towards the far end of the sea level, reflecting the sea surface with sparkling light. Everything was covered with a layer of orange-red, which made the city surrounded by
The giant city in the sea has a unique scenery.
"Is this the sea? It's so vast and shocking!"
Looking at the scene of the sunset intertwining with the sea, Xiao Jingxing's eyes were even more surprised, and she said with excitement: "Lord, it is said that this vast land is also surrounded by the sea. Is this true?"
"Yes, but we are not the only ones. There are countless plates that are similar to us on the other side."
Lei Xiao touched Xiaojing's head and responded with a smile.
After saying that, Lei Xiao's face showed a hint of solemnity again.
What I just said obviously went against common sense.
No matter how huge this planet is, it should never have so many tectonic plates. After all, the land where I am currently located alone is probably comparable to the land area of the previous world.
Furthermore, I have seen this galaxy with a dual star system twice before.
Although the entire planet is covered with an unknown layer similar to fog, making it impossible to see the scene above, there should be some boundaries after all.
However, whether it is from the documents of the human race, the dwarves, flower elves, wood elves, tree people, dragonborn and other forces on our side, or even the dragons and dark elves, the records on other sections are similar.
In these fragmentary records, words like "countless", "difficult to estimate", "countless", and even "endless" are indeed used invariably, which is simply incredible.
"It is not difficult to see from this that this alone is a huge unsolved mystery. As for whether it is related to the blank era, it is currently unknown."
After thinking about this in his mind, Lei Xiao gathered his thoughts and refocused his attention on the scene in front of him.
As the Ice Stone City Gate opened, a huge welcoming team of tauren also came into view.
I saw minotaur honor guard soldiers in silver armor holding knight swords, extending from the entrance of Ice Stone City to the gate of the capital. They looked extremely majestic and majestic. Behind them were ordinary minotaurs who greeted them.
It's called a sea of people.
Moreover, it can be clearly seen that the tauren are obviously more prepared. With the soldiers on both sides as the boundary, they have erected a towering translucent magic barrier, which sometimes flashes with rich magic light.
Not only that, the majestic city wall behind is also hung with Lei Xiao’s exclusive Shadow Lord flag, which is rustling in the wind.
"Your Majesty the human race, this is the highest etiquette for a tauren to welcome their king, and the pomp this time is even more exaggerated than that of an ordinary king."
Fanny, the accompanying Flower Fairy Queen, had a flash of surprise in her starry eyes, and said to Lei Xiao: "The magic walls on both sides not only serve as a defense, but are also a symbol of the supremacy of royal power."
As soon as Fanny finished speaking, the welcoming team of nobles headed by the middle-aged tauren general came forward.
"See your Majesty the human race, may your Majesty be safe!"
The middle-aged tauren general knelt down on the ground, protected the horns on his head with both hands, and saluted Lei Xiao. The tens of thousands of other tauren present also made the same move, bowing to Lei Xiao.
Got the bull's head.
You must know that the tauren are tall and muscular. An ordinary person can rival the stature of a knotweed. He is even bigger than a troll. Even if he is kneeling on the ground, he is still much taller than Fanny or even Broy.
Few, so it can be seen that the scene of tens of thousands of tauren bowing their heads is undoubtedly quite spectacular.
Lei Xiao looked down at this scene, nodded slightly and said: "Please get up, the past is gone. From this moment on, we will walk side by side to welcome the new future together."
Needless to say, the whole scene was boiling after hearing this. Although Lei Xiao's words were brief, they contained an extremely important message, that is, Lei Xiao was not prepared to punish them, but instead regarded them as his own children!
This was undoubtedly an unimaginable thing for them who were accustomed to the harsh methods of the previous tauren king! They were flattered by His Majesty's open-mindedness and kindness.
"But please remember one thing, I will never allow any force to block my progress. Your former king did this, and now he has no bones left."
Lei Xiao's eyes were a little sharp, then he softened again, and he smiled at the middle-aged tauren general who had just stood up and said, "Let's go."
"As you command, Your Majesty the Human Race!"
Hearing the sound, the middle-aged tauren immediately touched his chest, saluted, and began to lead the way.
Looking at the other party's frightened expression, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
I already know this through previous meetings and understanding from other people.
The middle-aged Tauren general who bowed his head to him is called Bruno. His commanding ability and his own strength are quite good, and he is also one of the best generals among the Tauren.
Because of this, even though he had no wrong intentions, he was still feared by the previous Tauren King and almost became a discarded chess piece.
For him, this problem obviously does not exist. Whether it is his spending a lot of money or his talent and many other means, it is enough to make him loyal and unyielding.
"Of course, it would be best if we could conquer these sixth-level powerhouses. Unfortunately, the required level of recruitment order is too high. I don't have a stable way to obtain it yet. I hope this can be solved as soon as possible."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao brought his thoughts back to reality.
Under Bruno's introduction, Lei Xiao met several members of the Tauren royal family, but there were no older princes, they were all young bulls.
It's no wonder that given the previous violent temper of the Tauren king, he naturally would not allow any obstacles in front of his throne.
"Then the matter couldn't be simpler. Just bring in a new king and add Bruno's assistance, and everything will be solved."
With this in mind, Lei Xiao cast his eyes on the young tauren royal family and began to look up and down.
These cows are not the heirs of the previous tauren kings, but the family members of the deceased princes, which is undoubtedly the best choice.
However, since these young tauren were all about the same height, their horns had not yet formed, not to mention their fluffy brown faces, Lei Xiao looked at them for a long time and couldn't figure out the reason. It was difficult to tell them apart.
But after noticing Lei Xiao's gaze, the young tauren princes and princesses all looked nervous, as if they were afraid that the human emperor in front of them would twist off their horns.
"That's all, let Bruno introduce it again later."
Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, having already passed the giant suspension bridge in front of the Tauren capital and entered the gate of the city.
As soon as we entered the city, a salty smell hit us.
I saw a dazzling array of shops on both sides of the street, mainly selling all kinds of aquatic products. It looked quite prosperous. There were even rows of dried fish hung in front of many shops.
This is not bad, after all, it is very close to the sea, and is even surrounded by sea water. It is not surprising that this situation occurs.
"As you can see, Your Majesty, the human race, this boundless city is mainly focused on fishing. Not only in the near sea, we also have complete ocean fishing capabilities, which are enough to compete with all kinds of monsters below the fifth level in the sea.
, in history, even the sixth-level Demonic Fish Dragon was hunted.”
Bruno's voice was full of pride as he introduced: "I believe His Majesty the Human Race has also understood that in addition to the power on the ground, we also have an extremely impressive maritime power, which is a power that quite a few foreign forces do not possess.
"
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
Just like what the other party said, quite a few forces in the outer domain have almost no maritime power. Part of it is because their sphere of influence is inland, and the other part is that even if it is close to the coast, there are generally few warships, such as the Wood Elf and the Dragonborn.
wait.
As for the specific reasons, there are various reasons. From a military point of view, most of the forces are based on land and rarely build large cities near the coast. Even if they enter the opponent's territory, it does not make much sense. Moreover, if the opponent uses
Remote group attack spells can also easily destroy a fleet. After all, the fleet has great limitations on the sea.
From a trade perspective, the emergence of the cinephile market is enough to promote transactions between various forces to a great extent.
Furthermore, the sea in the outer domain is extremely dangerous. All kinds of high-level marine monsters emerge in endlessly and are extremely huge. They can be called the nemesis of merchant ships. They often never return. To protect merchant ships, a huge amount of resources and resources are needed.
Focusing on building a fleet and cultivating corresponding talents is obviously not cost-effective, and supplies are also very troublesome.
In this way, it is better to send strong men to travel thousands of miles on the ground. After all, the storage ring in the outer domain has a larger capacity and can hold more goods.
All in all, it is not surprising that this situation occurs under the influence of various complex factors.
"Although from various aspects, building a fleet is indeed not the choice of most forces, but for me, the situation is completely different."
There was a hint of solemnity in Lei Xiao's eyes, as he thought in his heart.
The reason why I think this way is precisely to prepare for future encounters with other sectors.
Although we don’t know how this encounter will unfold, once we are no longer far away from the other side, but far beyond the distance that can be reached by other means, that huge fleet will undoubtedly play an extremely important role.
Huge effect.
Not only that, according to the information left by Wang Xi and the speculations of Hui Lao and others, it is very likely that the catastrophic crack will appear in the sea area of the human race. If it is to be discovered and responded to in time, the fleet is also indispensable.
"So, it is very necessary to build a fleet. At present, I have taken the time to prepare in the human realm, and even applied many lord talents to it. With the addition of the tauren, all this can undoubtedly change
After all, most human sea areas are relatively calm and lack the experience to deal with huge ocean monsters."
With this in mind, Lei Xiao simply described the role of the fleet to Bruno and others, but only said that it would deal with important challenges in the future, without clarifying the specific reasons.
"I didn't expect His Majesty the Human Race to be so far-sighted, which makes us admire him greatly!"
A touch of reverence suddenly appeared on Bruno's face, and he said without hesitation: "If you need anything, please feel free to ask, Your Majesty!"
After that, Bruno described the details of the fleet in detail.
The Tauren fleet is mainly composed of two third-level elite legions. Although this seems insignificant on the ground, it is already a quite impressive force on the sea.
Following Bruno's introduction, Lei Xiao and his party walked forward along the clean and damp streets of the city, and finally stopped in front of a giant castle that was also very distinctive.
The layout here is very similar to the castle in Shuiyue City. It is located on a spacious lake island, but judging from the salty smell that hits you, it is more appropriate to call it an island.
Under Bruno's guidance, Lei Xiao turned into the corridor through the magnificent castle hall and soon arrived at the King's Hall.
After sitting down on the throne, the first thing Lei Xiao did was to establish the successor to the throne.
After being introduced by Bruno and other Tauren ministers, Lei Xiao finally set his sights on a young Tauren prince.
His father was once the commander of the Tauren maritime fleet. He and his flagship disappeared inexplicably in the distant sea more than ten years ago. It is said that he encountered a sixth-level monster, but someone accidentally saw the former Tauren King who should have been buried in the sea.
Relics, the results are naturally self-evident.
After receiving Lei Xiao's signal, Bruno and others cooperated fully and quickly finalized everything about the ceremony. The tauren prince also burst into tears of gratitude to Lei Xiao and knelt down on the ground repeatedly.
After all, the human youth in front of him not only helped him complete his revenge, but also gave him the crown of king. How could he not be grateful?
After that, Lei Xiao followed the usual practice and arranged cooperation matters such as establishing a portal, and carried out comprehensive upgrades amidst the usual shocking eyes.
The foundation of the tauren is stronger than that of the trolls. Together, the two are enough for the human race to have 10 more third-level legions.
Of course, the most important thing is that Lei Xiao also saw with satisfaction the awed expressions of the tauren when they looked at him, as if they were worshiping gods.
But just when Lei Xiao finished everything and was about to return to Ice Stone City, he saw Bruno's ears trembling slightly as he obviously received a magic communication, and his expression quickly became extremely ugly.
