After striding to the west of the territory, facing the small city gate in the direction of Kongqing Town, Lei Xiao noticed.
At this time, under the bright sunshine, all the main forces and subordinates were ready to go, and they all looked full of energy.
Looking at the nine members of Huzhang, Hong Ye, Ye Cang, Chao Yan, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Bai Wei, A Ling, and A Bing in front of him who exuded a faint powerful aura, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
Two fifth-level powerhouses at the national level, four fourth-level powerhouses who could fight one against a thousand, and three peak third-level powerhouses. Such a lineup was already considered luxurious.
At the same time, Lei Xiao also understood clearly in his heart.
Currently, the situation in the Cold Flame Kingdom is treacherous.
Not only the eldest prince, the second prince, the fourth prince and the powerful men of the mysterious organization are secretly separatist and ready to make trouble within the kingdom.
Moreover, the main war faction of the Holy Night Kingdom is watching from the outside, and the possibility of a comeback cannot be ruled out.
Such a complicated situation is like a dangerous undercurrent hidden under the calm sea.
Just one opportunity can trigger a huge wave that can swallow up everything.
Therefore, regardless of the terrible catastrophe that may come at any time, just look at the current undercurrent situation.
There is very little time left for yourself.
"After taking control of the extremely important Fanyin City, I can only control twenty-three percent of the entire eastern region of Leng Yan."
"The most critical thing is that each of our own cities is relatively dispersed, making it impossible to carry out large-scale military mobilization without the opponent being aware of it."
Looking at the main force and subordinates in front of him who were ready to go, Lei Xiao turned his dark eyes and thought to himself: "However, from another perspective, this is also my greatest advantage."
"After all, on the surface, as the Lord of Kongqing City, the area I control is only the little-known Kongqing Town."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao continued to think while pacing slowly,
"All in all, for me, this situation is like troubled times. It is a crisis but also an opportunity. Whether it is distant friendship or short-term attack, or false Dao attack Guo, there is unlimited room for display."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao took a deep breath and then said: "Okay, let's set off."
"As you command! Lord Lord!"
On the other side, all the subordinates bowed and responded.
Just like that, surrounded by subordinates.
Lei Xiao, riding on a giant white wolf, was galloping through the forest.
It didn't take long,
After passing through forests and rivers, we came directly to Kongqing Town on the plains.
When he got closer, Lei Xiao noticed.
After large-scale engineering construction, the original low city wall of Kongqing Town has been reinforced at an epic level.
Not only has the thickness increased significantly, but also the height of part of the completed city wall has reached about 8 meters.
It is worth mentioning that a large number of archery tower foundations have been built on this part of the city wall. At first glance, it looks like the outline of a large military fortress.
As for the trenches outside the city wall, they are also being excavated intensively and have begun to take shape.
All in all, inside and outside the city walls, there are people everywhere, and it is a lively and busy scene.
"I'm afraid that in the near future, there will inevitably be a war surrounding Kongqing Town, and by then, it will be time for these to come into play."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
Greeted by Lin, Fang Hai, Guanzhong and Celia, he had already entered the heavily guarded gate of the city lord's mansion.
Next, we passed through the well-manicured and quiet gardens and the bright castle corridor of the city lord's palace.
As soon as Lei Xiao entered the spacious hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Ariel, Burt and Ju Bai, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately greeted him.
Then they bowed together and said: "See you, Lord!"
"No need to be polite."
Lei Xiao smiled slightly, waved his hand and said while walking towards the throne at the top.
"Lord, the large quantities of white jade ore that arrived this morning have been stored in the warehouse of the City Lord's Mansion!"
As soon as Lei Xiao sat down on the throne, Lin's angry voice rang out, reporting: "This time, it's thanks to Celia that she led the Shanjing Principality's Moon Wolf Clan Guards to escort her around the clock."
"I see."
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao's eyes moved and fell on the petite young woman beside him who was almost the same as Nan Xing Nan Yue. He nodded with satisfaction and said: "Celia, thank you for your hard work."
"Lord, these are what subordinates should do."
Celia smiled sheepishly and quickly bowed in response.
At first glance, this princess from the Moon Wolf Clan from Shanjing Principality has clean short hair, a light blue hairband on her head, and a shy look on her delicate face.
Because the Principality of Shanjing is extremely poor, Celia has been exposed to business since she was a child and inspired to change the poverty of the Principality of Shanjing.
She obviously lacks the grace and nobility like Ariel, but has more of the careful calculation and execution ability of a businessman.
At this moment, looking at Lei Xiao with an indifferent expression in front of her, Celia's heart was filled with uncontrollable admiration.
With the help of the lord, Shanjing Principality not only successfully avoided a crisis of national subjugation.
Moreover, after decades, her father and Uncle Bert finally reconciled, ending the biggest regret in life.
In addition, with the massive financial support from the lord, the entire Shanjing Principality has begun to take on a new look, and there is a prosperous scene everywhere.
Thinking of this, Celia's clear starry eyes became a little more grateful, and she bowed again and added: "For the Lord, my subordinates are willing to sacrifice everything!"
"Very good, I can already feel your unswerving determination."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao immediately ordered: "White jade ore is very important to the territory. Mining matters must be given top priority and there must be no slacking off."
"I obey! Lord! My father has already increased the mining intensity to the maximum. Lord, please rest assured!"
Celia was seen still maintaining her bowed posture, stroking her chest with one hand and responded.
"very good."
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao's eyes fell on Lin beside him, and he told her about his preparations to train a half-elf wolf cavalry.
"The Lord's idea is indeed extraordinary. This will definitely become a powerful and fast mobile force!"
After listening to Lei Xiao's description, Lin's eyes lit up.
He then said thoughtfully: "Compared with ordinary horses, the giant white wolves transformed by the Snow Wolf tribe are more agile and can move unimpeded in complex terrains such as forests and mountains.
Such powerful mobility, coupled with the half-elf archer's ability to pierce the Yangtze with a hundred steps, once combined, will definitely display extremely terrifying strength!"
After a pause, Lin continued: "In the southern border area of the Cold Flame Kingdom, there is a grassland country that is very good at riding and shooting. Its most famous and most intimidating unit is the cavalry!"
Hearing the sound, Bert and Jubai, who were not far away, also nodded.
As generals of the kingdom, both of them had fought in the southern border area of Lengyan for many years, so they naturally understood clearly how terrifying the horse archers were.
On the open plains, this highly mobile unit will undoubtedly cause extremely powerful damage to ordinary infantry and magicians.
Often after several rounds of fatal rapid fire, the horse archers would disappear without a trace before the opponent could react, leaving only the corpses of the opponents on the ground like hedgehogs, proving that these horse archers had arrived.
"Lin, as a knight, the training of the half-elf wolf cavalry will be entirely left to you."
Staring at Lin's starry eyes, Lei Xiao ordered: "Starting from today, you will spend at least half a day every day to go to the territory for guidance. You must make sure that the two squadrons can be combined into one in the shortest possible time.
It can be divided into two parts.”
"Yes! Lord, at least in terms of riding and formation changes, my subordinates will not lose to anyone!"
Lin bowed deeply to Lei Xiao and said confidently.
"By the way, how is the recruitment and training of new recruits going?"
Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne, nodded slightly and his eyes fell on Guan Zhong, the commander of the garrison at the side.
"Back to the lord, the number of new recruits has reached the size of a brigade."
The crisp sound of armor clashing sounded, and Guanzhong immediately took a step forward, bowed and replied: "Currently, my subordinates have led the previously transferred instructors to lead the recruits to form a new garrison brigade, and training is intensifying!"
"Very good. In other words, in addition to the five Guards squadrons and the original two garrison brigades, has a new garrison brigade been added to Kongqing Town?"
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao praised: "Well done. In addition, we must not let up on the matter of strengthening the city's defense. We must seize all the time to carry out it."
"I obey! Lord, please rest assured!"
Hearing the sound, Guanzhong immediately took orders and responded.
Just when the two of them were talking about this.
On the other side, Lin took another step forward and said: "Lord, under the strict control of entering the city recently, my subordinates have discovered many suspicious people.
According to the inference of my subordinates, his true identity is likely to come from several princes or spies from other wealthy families."
"This is what I expected. After all, Loki's people have sneaked under our noses before."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao responded: "From the beginning, I, the unidentified new city lord, have attracted the attention of some forces. Plus, as the fifth princess, Ariel is here, this is naturally a problem.
It’s a natural thing.”
Taking a deep breath, Lei Xiao continued slowly: "Needless to say, the current Kongqing Town has become one of the whirlpools of power struggle."
"What the Lord said is absolutely true. These suspicious people are currently under the surveillance of the subordinates' cronies and the members of the Shadow Squadron stationed here. How should we deal with them?"
Looking at Lei Xiao's calm expression, Lin asked again.
"There is no need to alert the snake for the time being. Even if we eradicate it, new spies will definitely be dispatched. Moreover, judging from the current situation, the infiltration methods of these spies are not very clever."
After pondering for a while, Lei Xiao spoke again: "Since these spies are here to collect intelligence, then they can also become chess pieces in our hands."
"Lord, you mean... to use false information to confuse these spies?"
Hearing the sound, Lin's fair face showed a thoughtful look.
"Isn't this what we have always done? True and false, false and true. Only in this way can we achieve the purpose of disturbing the other party to the maximum extent."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said: "Currently, the [Eye of Insight] barrier in this city lord's mansion has started to operate, so there is almost no need to worry about being infiltrated by spies of this level.
And only collecting intelligence outside the city lord's palace is naturally limited, so it is our best entry point."
"This subordinate understands what the lord means."
Lin nodded with a sudden enlightenment, and said thoughtfully: "Based on the clumsy methods of these spies, it is obvious that the leader of the other party has not really taken us seriously yet.
Therefore, at least during this period of time, these low-level spies cannot pose any substantial threat to us."
"Yes, but it cannot be ruled out that there are some lurking masters who are good at hiding and have secretly sneaked into Kongqing Town."
After thinking for a moment, Lei Xiao spoke again: "So, starting from today, when there is no free time for special actions and adventures, Nan Xing Nan Yue will temporarily live in Kongqing Town with Ariel and the other three."
Nodding to the twin sisters at the bottom, Lei Xiao continued: "With five fourth-level powerhouses in charge, even if one or two big rats sneak into Kongqing Town, they won't be able to cause any trouble."
"As you command! Lord Lord!"
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, the petite twin sisters immediately moved forward together and bowed to accept the order.
"Okay, let's start planning today's actions."
Standing up from his seat, Lei Xiao walked towards the lower position and continued: "Today's main task, uukanshuwww.uukanshu.com is naturally to go to the ruins of the Kingdom of Loren that were accidentally discovered yesterday, and conduct a good investigation.
It’s time.”
At this point, Lei Xiao walked up to the burly old blacksmith and said: "Of course, another important thing is to let Mr. Fang Hai see the place where his ancestors once worked."
"I would like to thank you very much, Lord!"
Hearing this, a look of gratitude suddenly appeared on Fang Hai's old face, and he said excitedly: "Thank you, Lord, for agreeing to this willful request of my subordinate!"
"It's human nature to seek out your ancestors."
Looking at Fang Hai's excited face, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and said, "I hope Mr. Fang Hai can gain something this time."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao immediately waved his hand and said: "Okay, without further ado, let's set off. The target is the ruins of the Kingdom of Loren!"
"As you command! Lord Lord!"
On the other side, all the subordinates bowed and spoke in unison.
