Seeing this, both Princess Ariel herself and the two fourth-level kingdom generals beside her couldn't help but start looking at each other.
There is no doubt that their aloof attitude and the many methods of coercion and inducement relied on by the Leng Yan royal family obviously had no effect on the young man in front of them.
And, from the other party’s eyes, it can be clearly seen.
If they do anything evil, the other party will really get rid of them all without hesitation, and even the noble Ariel may not be an exception.
At this time, under the bright sunshine, hundreds of flowers were blooming on the huge square, greenery was everywhere, and there was a warm scene everywhere.
But the hearts of the cold flame experts were already feeling as if they had fallen into an ice cave, with wisps of chills constantly rising from their hearts.
Behind the gentle face of the indifferent young man in front of me, there is no doubt that he is decisive and ruthless.
“Your Highness Princess, according to my opinion, the meaning of the other party’s words is already obvious.”
After pondering for a moment, I saw a fourth-level white-haired old man wearing heavy plate armor, bowing to Ariel and saying: "That means we must lower ourselves and act with the etiquette and posture that an ordinary envoy should have.
Get the other person’s respect.”
“Your Highness, the old general is right.”
On the other side, even though his fair face still had a trace of anger.
But the fourth-level female cleric nodded helplessly, and then whispered: "This person is a hard-nosed guy at first glance, and he is the most difficult type to deal with.
Furthermore, the abundant energy displayed by the other party is already astonishing just on the surface.
So, although I am very unhappy, under the current circumstances.
Instead of treating this annoying guy as an opponent, it would be more beneficial to us as an ally.
After all, at this stage, we have almost no place to stay in the royal capital.”
“I also understand this truth, but this guy with a calm face makes people hate him so much.”
Wrinkling her pretty nose slightly, Ariel couldn't help but sigh, and murmured to herself: "Well, that's all we can do now."
At this point, Ariel took a step forward, shook her long, slightly curly hair, and cleared her throat pretending to be calm.
Then, he spoke with some reluctance: "That's all, since you sincerely invite me.
Then, I, the princess, will simply give you some face and lead the way."
At this time, although she still looked like she had the same arrogant attitude, her voice was unconsciously softer, and she was obviously less confident than before.
“Well, it seems that this is the last bit of stubbornness of this princess.” On the other side, seeing the other party forcibly finding a step for him, Lei Xiao curled his lips, shrugged slightly, and said nothing else.
Then he took his subordinates and walked straight to the city lord's mansion.
There is no doubt that after the confrontation just now, our side has achieved the predetermined goal: frightening the opponent to the maximum extent while retaining trump cards.
In this way, while severely dampening the opponent's energy, one's own side also invisibly takes the initiative for further dialogue.
The most important thing is to make the other party clearly aware that if they want to make any changes in this Kongqing Town.
So, what will greet them will undoubtedly be disaster.
…
Just like this, a moment passed.
Lei Xiao is already sitting on the throne at the top of the main hall on the first floor of the city lord's palace. Behind him, two people, Huzhang and Yecang, stand.
On the other side, you can see the spacious and bright hall.
On the left hand side of the lower position are our own troops in order, the two captains of the Kongqing Town garrison, Nanxing, Nanyue, Chaoyan, Aling, and Abing, a total of 8 people.
On the right side of the lower position are the opponent's fourth-order white-haired old man in plate armor, the fourth-order female priest in pure white priest robes, five third-order maids, and Lin and Fang Hai as neutral forces.
As for the most important Princess Ariel, she was naturally treated like a VIP and sat next to Lei Xiao's throne, on a luxurious chair with armrests that had obviously been sawn down.
In addition, the two elite squadrons brought by the opponent, as well as other accompanying personnel, were arranged in an idle barracks not far from the city lord's palace.
Of course, there were two squadrons of great swordsmen who followed Lei Xiao, and a squadron of magicians, closely watching each other's every move.
“Okay, without further ado, let’s get straight to the point.”
Seeing that everyone was already in their seats, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, signaled the maid on standby to serve tea to Princess Ariel, and said.
“Just what I wanted the princess to do.”
On the other side, Ariel, whose head was obviously lowered, naturally knew that Lei Xiao did it on purpose. The corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily. She suppressed the anger in her heart and still pretended to be calm.
Next, after Ariel’s brief introduction, Lei Xiao learned.
Those two powerful fourth-level men are both one of the eight kingdom generals loyal to the Leng Yan royal family.
The white-haired old man wearing armor and carrying a battle ax is General Bert, the great axe.
And the young woman wearing a pure white priest robe and carrying a sword at her waist is the orange-white color of the Holy Light General.
“Generals of the Eight Kingdoms? That’s a bit interesting.
If nothing else happens, these two kingdom generals should be the supporters of the fifth princess.
However, the large troops under their command did not seem to appear.
From this we can see that there must be something fishy going on, and we must take the opportunity to ask clearly later.”
At this time, Lei Xiao couldn't help but look thoughtful.
Through this period of understanding, he clearly understood.
In this world, those who can truly be called generals are at the level of legion commanders who command at least ten thousand legions.
“In other words, this also proves from the side that the Lengyan royal family alone has at least eight legions of troops.
Coupled with other Lengyan cities, if totaled, it is indeed a very terrifying number for our current side.
At this stage, we only own two small towns, Kongqing Town and Mailan Town.
However, the fiefdoms of Xueya and Faxia's respective families must be completely settled later. As they are the heirs of the earl family, it is not difficult to do this.
In this way, one's own strength will be further increased.
In addition, several other cities around Kongqing Town and Mailan Town must also find opportunities to conduct careful investigations."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao cheered up and gave a brief introduction to his subordinates.
When both parties greeted each other politely, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and continued to face Ariel: "Then, my dear Fifth Princess, please tell me your true purpose of coming here."
