Chapter 315: The Winged Dragon Knight and the Maid Star Return [5K]
"Back to the lord, my subordinates were thinking about this issue just now..."
I saw Sean, the captain of the pterodactyl knight, taking off his bucket helmet, revealing a resolute middle-aged face with a beard, and respectfully replied with some doubts: "Before the subordinates accept the call, the mount is still beside me.
.
However, after arriving here, I discovered that the mount was not summoned together."
"That's it." After hearing this, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and couldn't help but look thoughtful.
Although this is the first time for me to recruit knight-like troops, judging from the current situation.
It seems that only the slave who has signed the master-servant contract can accept the call, not the mount on the side.
"That's all, at least Sean and the others still have their equipment, unlike a certain girl who left her ancestral staff at home when she accepted the summons."
Thinking this in his mind, Lei Xiao helplessly shook his head.
He continued to think: "However, as a result, the original combat effectiveness and tactical effectiveness of the pterosaur knight without a mount will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
It seems that we need to find new mounts for Sean and others as soon as possible."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, familiar prompts began to ring in his ears one after another.
[Congratulations, your subordinate third-level five-star pterodactyl knight Sean has developed the ultimate admiration for you, and his loyalty has increased by 23 points, currently at 73 points.]
[Congratulations, your subordinate, the third-order three-star pterosaur knight Luke, has developed the ultimate admiration for you, and his loyalty has increased by 22 points, currently at 72 points. 】
【Congratulations, your subordinate...】
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
On the other side, Sean and other 10 third-order pterodactyl knights, who were gradually recovering from the summons, began to look fiercely.
There is no doubt that whether it is the two radiant miracle buildings or the powerful tiger stick, which is a fifth-level powerhouse, it exudes a monstrous momentum.
They all conveyed the same message to them, that is, the lord in front of them, whose aura is even much stronger than theirs, is obviously not an ordinary person!
"It seems that we have come to an incredible territory." At this time, Sean and the others, with their fiery eyes, couldn't help but marvel in their hearts.
“Only Sean’s plate armor is level three, are the other weapons and armors he originally carried all level two?
Next, according to the usual practice, the loyalty of these new subordinates will be directly raised to full level."
Directly across from him, Lei Xiao's mind moved after yesterday's experience of summoning Ward, Rudy and others.
Ten shining third-level lances and ten sets of fourth-level plate armor suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
For a moment, the emerald green grass shimmered with color, and the brand-new equipment shone in the bright sunshine, reflecting a dazzling light that made it almost difficult to look away.
Just when the 10 new subordinates were shocked beyond measure by the sudden scene in front of them.
On the other side, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and indicated that these equipments had been given to them.
"Currently, I don't have enough level 4 lances in my hand, so I'll just make do with the level 3 lances I obtained on the battlefield.
As for the fourth-level plate armor, it is just enough, and it is all upgraded from the second-level equipment of the previous Great Swordsman Squadron."
Just when Lei Xiao was thinking about this.
On the other side, Sean and other ten pterodactyl knights who had lost their dragons were pleasantly surprised.
Not surprisingly, the loyalty points have all increased to the full 100 points.
"Sean, from now on, you and everyone here will be fighting partners. I will help you find your mount as soon as possible." After hearing the prompt, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you very much, Lord!" Hearing this, the 10 third-order pterodactyl knights were so excited that they bowed their heads deeply to Lei Xiao again.
While leaning down to help the opponent up, Lei Xiao opened the opponent's attribute bar.
[Skill Three: Pterodactyl Friend "Passive" (can tame the Sky Pterodactyl to become a mount, and when riding the Pterodactyl, the combat ability increases)]
[Skill 4: Lance Mastery "Passive" (When using a lance, the damage will be moderately increased)]
"Yes, yes, as the captain, Sean's strength is at the third level and five stars. Are the other pterosaur knights at the third level and three stars?"
After closing the attribute bar, Lei Xiao suddenly gave a storage ring and 30 first- and second-level magic potions to Sean.
Next, Sean, the captain of the Pterodactyl Knight, expressed his gratitude to everyone with great excitement.
Lei Xiao announced that dinner was ready, and then together with his subordinates, on the green grass in the southeast corner of the territory, they began to enjoy the delicacies cooked by the top chefs at the third level of powerhouses, Rudy and others.
Because the taste was so good that the supply simply exceeded demand, Rudy and other chefs even added a few extra meals in the middle of the meal, and everyone was full of praise for the food.
It has to be said that dining in the warm morning light on the green land exuding the fragrance of green leaves and earth is indeed an extremely pleasant thing, making people feel like they are back to nature.
This, for Lei Xiao, who had been living in a metropolis with many high-rise buildings before time travel, is a rare enjoyment that brings physical and mental pleasure.
During this process, Lei Xiao also called the old butler Ward and the head chef Rudy to his side, and also equipped each of them with a storage ring and a corresponding number of magic potions, and ordered them to use it themselves.
Of course, it also included the fourth-level magic weapon used as a kitchen knife, which was also handed over to Rudy who was full of surprise.
Under the warm sun, just after Lei Xiao put the last bite of honey-soaked butter toast into his mouth, the reading prompt suddenly sounded.
As soon as the connection was connected, Lin's magnetic and neutral voice rang out: "I am reporting to the lord, after investigation by my subordinates.
Found a third-level personal maid beside Princess Ariel, and two third-level deputy squadron captains of the royal guard.
They were born in Kongqing Town and Mailan Town, which is also within our sphere of influence. In this way, it is just like the layout planned by the lord before.
We can first find a way to conquer these two people, so as to learn more about Princess Ariel from the side."
"Very well done." Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
Before that, after having a meeting in the lobby with Princess Ariel and her group.
After several trials and analyses, Lei Xiao has come to a conclusion.
That is the reason why Ariel, the Princess of Lengyan, personally led the envoy to Kongqing Town. Her real purpose was to avoid the increasingly fierce competition for the throne in the capital of Lengyan.
Moreover, the overt and covert fights between several cold flame princes may have threatened Ariel's own life.
It can be imagined that although Ariel, the fifth princess of Leng Yan, has the weakest power, she still has the right to inherit the throne after all.
This alone was enough to give several other princes a reason to attack him.
"In addition, it is worth noting that Ariel's arrival will inevitably attract the attention of other princes.
We cannot even rule out the possibility of these guys sending elite spies and killers into Kongqing Town to collect intelligence and assassinate the princess.
At that time, Kongqing Town will naturally become the target of the princes and the huge forces under their command.
However, as the saying goes, opportunities and challenges coexist. While the territory in Kongqing Town and even the forest is threatened, I naturally have the trump card of Princess Ariel in my hand."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and stood up from the green grass next to the half-built stone kitchen.
While continuing to think: "As long as we can take this arrogant Princess Lengyan under our command, and then help her seize the throne.
Then, the entire Cold Flame Kingdom will undoubtedly be completely under my control.
Of course, judging from the current situation, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to subdue this perverse and willful princess.
After all, the other party is the pinnacle of power in the entire Lengyan Kingdom, a true member of the Lengyan royal family."
At this time, Lei Xiao took a deep breath of the fresh morning air and fell into deep thought: "So, in order to achieve this point.
One's side must determine whether the other side has any other thoughts or intentions that are detrimental to one's side.
Therefore, I decided to take a two-pronged approach. First, I sent Nanxing Nanyue to monitor the other party, and secondly, I ordered Lin to investigate the other followers around the princess.
In this way, one's side can be targeted and wait for opportunities to poach one or more princesses first.
Then from these people, we can intuitively understand the real situation of Ariel and her group.
After all, this time, Princess Ariel has brought two fourth-level kingdom generals, five third-level personal maids, a directly subordinate second-level combat maid group and an elite second-level royal guard."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao patted the remaining grass blades on his body, and then said to the sassy female knight on the other end of the conversation: "Lin, wait for me in Kongqing Town. I will take people there in a while."
After shutting up his words, Lei Xiao ordered his main force and squadron commanders to collectively go to the mansion for a meeting.
On the other hand, he couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression, and thought to himself: "By the way, according to the reports from Lin and Nanxing Nanyue, Ariel's trip seems to have another important purpose.
First, she once asked Lin seriously about the detailed geographical environment around Kongqing Town and the distribution of large and small towns.
Second, she once mentioned the words "that incident" many times in a conversation with two generals of the kingdom.
Combining the above two points, it is not difficult to judge that Ariel must be hiding something, and this must be investigated as soon as possible."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao, who had already stepped into the gate of the mansion, went straight to the throne at the top and sat down, and began to prepare for arranging today's work.
After a while, all the powerful men and commanders on our side stood at the bottom.
Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne, raised his tea cup, took a sip of the fragrant tea that the third-level maid had just brewed, and began to arrange today's work.
"Everyone, the work in the territory today is exactly the same as yesterday.
There is only one main goal, and that is to connect the city wall consisting of 50 fortresses as soon as possible, as well as to build the city gates and territorial kitchens."
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Lei Xiao glanced at the people in the audience and continued: "The tasks of all squadrons remain the same, just perform their duties."
"Yes! Lord!" Upon hearing this, the eight commanders at the bottom of the table, as well as the chef Rudy, stepped forward in unison, bowed and clasped their fists.
"very good."
Nodding with satisfaction, looking down at the nine people standing neatly below him, Lei Xiao continued: "Of course, the daily defense work in the territory must still be given priority.
Each squadron must ensure that there is a fully armed team stationed at their respective sentry posts at all times, and if there is an emergency in the territory, they must quickly switch to combat status."
"Please rest assured, Lord, we have jointly rehearsed various emergency situations yesterday." A crisp voice sounded, and Bai Zhi, the oldest half-elf commander in the territory, leaned forward and responded.
"Very good. When I am away, if an enemy attacks, Bai Zhi will be responsible for coordinating the attack of the four long-range squadrons in the territory, while the other four melee squadrons will be left to Rogge."
After thinking for a moment, Lei Xiao immediately ordered.
He had already noticed it when he annihilated the orc army at the pass.
As the commander of the half-elf archers, Bai Zhi has very good commanding abilities.
In addition, half-elves have inherited the ability of the elves to be close to nature, and they are more comfortable fighting in the forest, so there is no problem.
As the commander of the Heavy Guards Squadron, Rogge is the most suitable candidate among all close combat commanders because he is the oldest, has a stable personality, and has rich combat experience.
Therefore, Lei Xiao made such an arrangement.
"I obey! Lord!" On the other side, the long-haired Bai Zhi and the white-haired Rogge took a step forward at the same time, bowed and clasped their fists.
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao's eyes fell on the old housekeeper again, and then said: "As for Ward and the four maids, they still assist each barracks in setting up sewage treatment magic arrays, as well as the sanitation work in the lord's mansion.
."
"I obey! Lord, please rest assured." Upon hearing this, the old butler performed a standard gentleman's courtesy and responded respectfully.
"Sean, as for you, for the time being, you will be responsible for helping Chef Rudy and his friends build the kitchen. Today we will go to Kongqing Town. I will investigate the distribution of the Sky Pterosaurs as soon as possible and implement your mount issue as soon as possible."
Immediately, Lei Xiao raised the steaming tea cup and said to the captain of the pterodactyl knight.
"Yes! Lord!" Sean, who was wearing shining plate armor, immediately bowed and saluted.
"Finally, Xue Ya and Faxia are still refining the second-level Qi Condensation Pill.
In addition, the materials required for the third-level magic potion have been collected recently.
In particular, the Star Pattern Magic Pill is our top priority right now. I hope you two can improve your refining capabilities as soon as possible and lay the foundation for the next higher-level magic pills."
Turning slightly sideways and looking down at the two noble alchemists standing respectfully on the other side, Lei Xiao ordered again.
"I obey! Lord!" On the other side, Xue Ya and Fasha bowed together and said in unison.
"As for the other strong men, please come to Kongqing Town for me soon." After drinking all the fragrant tea in the cup, Lei Xiao clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to disperse.
After that, Lei Xiao came to the small gate on the west side of the territory.
Surrounding him were Huzhang, Chaoyan, Ah Ling, Ah Bing, and Bai Wei.
At this time, not to mention the fifth-level tiger sticks, Chaoyan, A-ling, and A-Bing have all entered the third-level peak level, and Bai Wei, as a mount, has also reached the third-level seven-star level.
"Okay, let's set off."
Nodding to the people around him, Lei Xiao immediately stepped onto the fluffy and soft white giant wolf in front of him.
In an instant, under the shocked eyes of the gate guards, it turned into a shadow and disappeared on the lawn in front of the city gate.
…
Following a gust of wind, they arrived at Kongqing Town, where the crowds of people had just begun to increase. Six of our party, dressed in illusion cloaks, went straight to the secret room of the Phytolacca Trade Fair.
"Lord, this is what happened."
Lei Xiao had just sat down, and Lin, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately said: "After investigation by my subordinates, this third-level maid who was born in Kongqing Town is completely a child of the ordinary Taira family. She has been away from home for more than ten years.
Year.
It is not easy to be promoted to the level of a third-level powerhouse on your own without any background, and then go through numerous selections to become a personal maid beside a noble princess."
"That's it." Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then asked: "How much specific information do you know about this person now?"
"Lord, this maid's name is Xing Hui. Her profession is a sword dancer. It is a physics profession between an assassin and a swordsman."
On the other side, Lin straightened her hair and continued: "Currently, Xinghui is waiting for Ariel. During this period, he went home once, but he did not see his long-separated family.
."
"Oh? Why is this?" Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing doubts and asked, "Isn't her home in Kongqing Town?"
"That being said, the lord does not know something."
I saw Lin bowing respectfully again, and then said: "According to the investigation by my subordinates, many years ago, when the previous city lord was in power, he worked together with Magishi Town, another town located under the Baibu Mountains northwest of Kongqing Town, to develop
A mine was discovered and a large number of civilians were relocated to carry out mining work, and Xing Hui's home is one of them."
"So there is such a thing." Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
Regarding Magnet Town, Lei Xiao had already heard Lin's report before.
This town is about 3 days' carriage ride from Kongqing Town and is located under the Baibu Mountains.
Like the more distant Gelin City, it is a mining town mainly engaged in ore mining, and its scale is almost the same as Kongqing Town.
It is also the nearest large town in the northern area of Kongqing Town.
"In addition, it is said that we residents of Kongqing Town are often ostracized by the local residents of Cishi Town, and our lives are very difficult." Immediately, Lin added with clasped fists.
"In that case, let's go to Magnet Town."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao flexed his muscles and said to the subordinates beside him: "After all, I am the master of Kongqing Town now. Naturally, I cannot let the residents under my rule be oppressed by others."
"I obey! Lord!" On the other side, all the subordinates clasped their fists and said in unison.
