[Skill 2: Ten kills in one step "Active" (physical group attack, additional knockback effect)]
[Skill 3: Hurricane Bombardment "Active" (powerful physical single target attack, outstanding effect on heavy armored targets)]
[Skill Four: Wind Explosion Footwork "Active" (greatly increases one's own speed and consumes one's own energy greatly)]
[Skill Five: Chain Hammer Mastery "Passive" (When using the chain hammer, the damage will be moderately increased)]
Just as Lei Xiao opened the attribute bar, Benson's excited voice rang out again: "Lord, after being promoted to a fourth-level powerhouse, your subordinates' ability to control energy has reached a new level.
"
"So, as long as the energy in the body is wrapped on the surface of the chain hammer in a special form, and then used with strong impact, even if the enemy is wearing thick and heavy armor, the subordinates can still cause huge damage to them without breaking the armor.
!”
Having said this, Benson's pale face was filled with excitement.
Listening to Benson's excited words, Lei Xiao noticed.
On the opponent's attribute bar, there is indeed a new skill that has an outstanding effect on heavy armor.
"This attribute column is indeed quite intelligent."
Lei Xiao sighed secretly in his heart, closed the attribute bar, and then said to the Lord of Luolong City in front of him: "Okay, Benson, the death curse on you has just been lifted, and you have been promoted to the fourth level, or what?
Let’s rest and consolidate at the Bright Healing Center for a good night.”
"As you command! Lord!"
Benson stroked his chest and saluted, then re-entered with Ye Cang's company.
The two of them had just left when Randall, who looked excited, came up to him, bowed to Lei Xiao and said, "Lord, my subordinate also wants to live in the Bright Healing Center tonight, please agree with me!
"
"Go ahead, there are six treatment rooms inside, which are enough for the two of you."
Looking at the mercenary captain with a short O-shaped beard and the excited expression on his face, Lei Xiao smiled slightly.
It seemed that seeing so many miraculous buildings at once really made his heart surge.
When Randall left happily, Lei Xiao looked at Ariel, who was walking with Chaoyan Baiwei beside the Illusion Tower not far away. He turned to the Queen Kingdom general beside him and said: "Ju Bai, the three of you are here today.
You all live in the territory, there are still two vacant rooms in the mansion, just let Chaoyan and Bai Wei help you arrange them."
"As you command! Lord!"
Hearing the sound, the orange-white eyes moved away from the Bright Healing Center, and he quickly bowed to accept the order.
For her, who is a Holy Light priest, this healing miracle building obviously has an extraordinary appeal.
After all, although she had been to the territory several times before this, she never stayed for too long.
"Okay, you can take a look at it as you please, no need to be restrained."
Waving his hand to Jubai, Lei Xiao took his own steps again.
Going straight back to the lord's mansion, Lei Xiao walked up the spiral staircase.
Finally, he stepped into his own lord's suite.
Standing in front of the window of the suite's living room and looking down, half of the territory is in full view.
Looking down at the territory, the seven new subordinates including Randall, Benson, and Bonnie, as well as Ariel, Ju Bai and others, who were still marveling at the visit, Lei Xiao's eyes were gentle.
At this time, every subordinate's face was filled with smiles and peace of mind, and all of this was undoubtedly what they needed to protect.
"It is precisely because of this territory that there is this group of subordinates on the territory, and it is precisely because of this group of subordinates that the territory will be safe and sound. I have to say, it is really a wonderful cycle."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao's expression began to become more solemn.
Judging from the current situation, the road ahead will surely be filled with thorns, dangers, and unknowns and uncertainties.
And what he can do is undoubtedly lead his subordinates to go through the thorns and thorns, and go forward unswervingly to find the glimmer of light that is vaguely visible, or that has not yet been revealed.
"It seems that everything in the future still has a long way to go."
"My most urgent thing now is to prepare for a head-on war with the eldest prince and the second prince's forces in this area, and then wait for the opportunity to move and strive to gain control of the entire eastern region in one go."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao slowly withdrew his gaze and began to pace casually in the huge living room.
"In addition, since the battle in Hearth City at the Immortal Gate, there has been no news from the mysterious organization for a long time. I have to say that this is what makes me feel most uneasy."
"After all, the opponent's camp has a terrifying number of fifth-level powerhouses, as well as many wanted criminals and lawless people. They have always regarded killing us alien lords as fun, which has caused huge panic in the lord circle. It is definitely not
What kind of kindness."
"Not to mention the fact that he not only robbed and killed the archaeological team of Fanyin City Lord Orr, but also almost killed Orr himself at the auction."
"The most important thing is, regardless of the other party's ulterior secret conspiracy that has been wandering around in the ancient ruins, the mere fact that it is likely to have incorporated a certain prince into the organization is enough to arouse my high vigilance. This undoubtedly means
, the rivalry between me and the other party has shifted from covert to overt."
"It is conceivable that the other party will not allow me, the "Princess Guest", to disrupt its plan to support the prince to ascend the throne."
At this time, Lei Xiao couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Although when we were at Blue Cold Castle, I had already discussed with Rose Marquis about letting Hong Ye pretend to be Mr. Wu once the strong men of the mysterious organization intervened to frighten the other party."
"But if the other party doesn't follow this trick, or has mobilized other fifth-level powerhouses and is ready to compete with the Lengyan royal family head-on, then the situation between me and the territory will undoubtedly be more dangerous."
"Concerning this point, judging from the current situation, I can only respond to the changes by remaining unchanged, and try my best to throw the blame on the old king and Mr. Wu. After all, before this, I have always been cold
In the name of the Flame Royal Family."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's brows relaxed again and he did not continue to struggle.
Although this is the only uncertain factor at present, in addition to the two fifth-level powerhouses Huzhang and Hongye, he also has many fourth-level powerhouses with considerable strength.
Throwing aside those who are scattered in various places, just those who are in charge in the territory and Kongqing Town include Lian, Bert, Ye Cang, Ju Bai, Ariel, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Chao Yan, Xue Ya, Fa Xia, and
Fang Hai's eleven people, plus the fifth-level national-level equipment of all members, are enough to compete with another fifth-level strongman, or even two in a short period of time.
"Besides, the mysterious organization's forces are spread all over the human countries, and it is unlikely that it will gather too many fifth-level powerhouses at once when everything about me is still unclear."
"And this is undoubtedly the best opportunity for me to take control of the eastern region. Once my power reaches a certain scale, the other party will naturally not dare to attack Ariel and me at will."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao had already changed his clothes and started to wash up.
"In addition, there are still many unsolved mysteries in front of me."
"Let's not talk about the unknown catastrophe that may come at any time. Just talking about the blank era is enough to make me curious."
"Such as the "lost ruins effect" caused by the blank era, the "displaced object effect", the no longer favoring the gods, the disappearance of the chosen son of God, etc."
"According to the current clues, although I have already deduced that there was probably a war between all the races and the gods on the mainland, and the gods were divided into two camps, and some gods stood on the side of all races.
Side."
"But this inference still cannot explain any of the above mysterious effects and the blank era itself."
After finishing washing, Lei Xiao thought as he walked out of the bathroom.
"What puzzles me the most is that one billion of us lords collectively traveled to this world. Which one, or which gods, did it for what purpose? Or is there anything wrong with this?
A shocking secret known to everyone?”
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, he was already lying on the comfortable big bed.
In an instant, an uncontrollable feeling of fatigue spread throughout Lei Xiao's body.
"Forget it, don't think so much, just focus on the things in front of you."
"Tomorrow I will have two main tasks. One is to check the upper reaches of the Shadow River and find ways to build embankments and store water to make final preparations for the possible war."
"Second, of course, is the comprehensive upgrade. The first- and second-level equipment in each territory that has not been upgraded before, as well as the treasure troves in the city lord's palace in individual territories that have not yet been upgraded. It is urgent to fully redress the soldiers in the territory..."
After thinking about it, Lei Xiao's breathing gradually became smooth and regular.
…
In the early morning of the next day, when it was still dark outside and the twin moons were in the sky.
Lei Xiao was woken up by the sudden voice prompt.
In confusion, Lei Xiao sat up from the bed, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and answered the call.
Immediately afterwards, the voice of Sean, the captain of the pterodactyl knight, came to Lei Xiao's ears: "I'm sorry to disturb the lord's rest, but the situation is urgent and my subordinates don't care so much..."
"It doesn't matter, what happened?"
Hearing the panic in the other party's voice, Lei Xiao looked stern and asked immediately.
"I would like to report to you, my lord, that thousands of demonic beast skeletons suddenly appeared here and are slowly gathering. Among them, there are also numerous flying demonic beast skeletons that are hovering in the sky!"
Sean lowered his voice a little and continued: "And the number is still increasing rapidly!"
After a pause, Sean added: "Lord, if my subordinates guessed correctly, a huge undead army is rapidly gathering!"
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao, who had just placed a piece of light crystal on the bedside table, became more serious.
Sean's current location is in the Baibu Mountains not far from the territory.
There is not only the new lair of the Sky Pterosaurs, but also the location of the previous mysterious cave.
Moreover, the surrounding terrain at that location is relatively steep, making it obviously difficult for ordinary people to reach.
And the skeletons of land-based monsters that can appear there will undoubtedly be able to cross the mountains and reach the territory.
"How could an army of thousands of undead appear out of thin air? Could it be that the location of the territory was exposed?"
"No, it's impossible. If the location of the territory is exposed, the opponent will never gather troops at that location. This is obviously against common sense."
"It is conceivable that once such a momentum is discovered by us, we only need to destroy the road down the mountain, and the opponent's land army will naturally be useless."
At this time, Lei Xiao, who was already fully dressed, continued to think as he walked out of the lord's suite.
"Could it be that the owner of that mysterious cave is back?"
"But why did the other party do this? Is it because he found out that the cave had been broken into and was angry and wanted revenge?"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly, and then asked the captain of the Pterodactyl Knight: "Sean, how are you doing now?"
"Back to the lord, my subordinates and others are hiding in the nearby pterosaur lair and have not been discovered by the other party yet."
Immediately afterwards, Sean's deliberately lowered voice came over again.
"Very good. Monitor the other party's movements closely. I will bring someone with me and I will arrive soon."
After temporarily closing the call with Sean, Lei Xiao, who had already arrived at the stairs, quickly descended.
Through another conversation, he contacted all the main subordinates and the commanders of each squadron, ordered everyone to gather in the lobby on the first floor, and raised the territory's alert level to the highest level.
Of course, Lei Xiao also notified the leaders of the two surrendered races, Chuan Gu and Shi Feng, and ordered them to be equally prepared.
In a moment, in the brightly lit hall on the first floor, all the main subordinates and commanders under Lei Xiao were fully dressed and appeared in front of Lei Xiao, who was at the top.
For commanders who all have storage rings and can quickly change their outfits, wearing armor is no longer a burdensome task.
"Lord, according to your instructions, the highest level of alert has been sounded in the territory, and the soldiers are arriving at their respective posts one after another!"
I saw Rogge, the territorial military commander at the bottom, taking a step forward and bowing to Lei Xiao.
"Very well, here's the thing..."
With a slight nod, Lei Xiao briefly repeated what Sean had just said.
After listening to Lei Xiao's description, a look of surprise appeared on the faces of all the subordinates.
Near the territory, a sudden army of undead appeared, which made people's hearts tremble.
After all, only fifth-level necromancers, or a corresponding number of fourth-level necromancers, have the ability to control thousands or even tens of thousands of undead troops.
"Okay, each commander is in charge of the territory, and the other main subordinates, please follow me to see what is going on."
Nodding to the subordinates, Lei Xiao looked at him sternly and immediately ordered.
