"Just like what I just thought, using the power of Qin Qian and others who are also lords from another world will be another brand-new attempt for me."
"Thus, even if a captured city is handed over to the other party for management, I will definitely send my capable direct subordinates to go to that city and the other party's territory to supervise it respectively."
"And this city can also be used as part of my previous vision to recruit talents from nearby lords, create a research force of lord scientists, and even an intelligence analysis force, and provide shelter to these lords."
"After all, through the chat channel, there are almost no obstacles in the communication of information between lords. This is much more convenient than ordinary spies."
Feeling the softness of the World of Warcraft feather mattress, Lei Xiao suddenly relaxed and nodded thoughtfully.
"By the way, I have been busy since I came back tonight. I don't know how the moat is doing. Let's go and take a look tomorrow morning."
"In addition, the equipment of the two Princess Guards under Ariel has not been upgraded yet. There are still some equipment in the territory's warehouse that have not been upgraded after previous changes. They will all be upgraded tomorrow."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, the reading prompt sounded suddenly.
After the call was connected, the excited voice of mercenary leader Randall came over: "Sorry, Lord, for bothering you so late!"
"It's okay." Lei Xiao smiled slightly and responded: "How about it? Walter, Phil and Swale, the three magic masters, must be surprised to see you, right?"
"Back to my lord, you simply can't imagine the spectacular scene of three old guys who are several hundred years old in total, grabbing each other's robes and running towards each other with tears streaming down their faces."
As he spoke, Randall's brisk voice was filled with uncontrollable gratitude: "I would like to thank the lord once again! If it hadn't been for the lord's rescue, I'm afraid I would have to live in this world for the rest of my life."
In that endless passage, I am accompanied by loneliness and darkness."
"I didn't do anything. I can bring some delicious food to Hong Ye who has opened the endless passage later. That guy will definitely be very happy."
Lei Xiao still kept smiling and responded.
"Lord, I was joking. At that time, the gourmet lunch box that the Lord brought was so refreshing that my subordinates will remember it for the rest of their lives!"
Randall's hearty laughter rang out.
After a pause, Randall coughed lightly and reported again: "Lord, my subordinates have issued a gathering order. Other mercenaries from the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group in the nearby area will soon arrive at the mountain fortress to be on standby.
, waiting for further instructions from the lord!"
"Very good. Pay close attention to all the movements around you, including Bai Lao's fortress army. The war is already very close to us."
Lei Xiao looked solemn and said through his words: "In addition, be ready to attack at any time. Once the power of the great prince closest to the mountain fortress changes, the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group will become one of the most important core forces in the territory."
"I obey! Lord, please rest assured!"
On the other end of the conversation, Randall's firm voice immediately came over: "I will lead the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group to go all out and become a sharp sword wielded by the lord!"
"Okay, let's go to bed early."
After giving Randall a few more instructions, Lei Xiao stopped talking.
When everything calmed down again, Lei Xiao, who was sinking on the bed, looked at the ceiling of the bedroom and couldn't help but fell into deep thought again.
"Among the other two legions stationed in the mountain fortress, there are also garrison forces of 7,000 people from Kongqing Town, Mailan Town, Cishi Town, Lanleng Fort, Gelin City, Fanyin City, and Luolong City. This
Part of the power should not be underestimated, but the rest is the power of the other two princes."
"These garrison teams recruited from various places are currently commanded by Bai Lao and are located in two fortresses around the mountain fortress. If you want to return to the Cold Flame territory, you must pass through the mountain fortress guarded by the fortress army."
"At this point, the situation is very obvious. Ariel and I have a debt of gratitude to Mr. Bai. At that time, we only need to tell him to let in the power that is loyal to me. As for other powers, they will all be blocked in the mountain fortress.
Outside the fortress."
"As for the forces of the eldest prince who are close to the mountain fortress, no matter how crazy they are, they cannot directly attack this cold flame country. Regardless of other things, the forces of the second prince alone have been waiting for opportunities to reveal their flaws.
"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao took off the shining crystal stone on the bedside table, making the room darken, and continued to think.
"This matter is very important. Let's go to the mountain fortress tomorrow. Be sure to explain this matter to Mr. Bai in person."
"Speaking of which, in this situation where the war may spread at any time, how will the First Prince's faction and the Second Prince's faction act? It really makes people a little curious..."
"But what is certain is that no matter which party it is, it is very likely to point the finger at Ariel and Kongqing Town first. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Kongqing Town is just a corner of the country with only 3,000 garrison troops.
…”
After thinking about it, Lei Xiao felt as if his eyelids were filled with lead and he fell into a deep sleep.
…
The next morning, before the sun started to rise, Lei Xiao woke up.
After completing the routine practice, the energetic Lei Xiao opened the curtains, opened the metal window, looked out at the hazy mist, and took a deep breath of fresh air.
Looking past the towering city walls and the soldiers standing guard, you can see stretches of emerald green in the distance.
The forest in the early morning is always a scene of mist, and everything looks so vibrant.
Feeling this rather refreshing scene, Lei Xiao murmured to himself: "My own strength has reached the peak level of the third level of double material for a few days. Next, I just wait for the promotion of the fourth level potion.
Already."
Slowly withdrawing his gaze, Lei Xiao walked towards the bathroom.
It didn't take long for Lei Xiao, feeling refreshed, to walk out of the lord's suite.
He went straight to the lord's office, received five second-level recruitment orders and a city return crystal, and contacted Su Rusu Mo and other lords, and performed some upgrade and decomposition operations.
Lei Xiao easily obtained 12,000 units of copper ingots, and corresponding amounts of copper ore and wood.
"Has the number of copper ingots reached 24,900 units? There are still some left before the 30,000 units required for upgrade, so let's continue to produce copper ingots at full capacity for another day."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao traded all the corresponding manufacturing materials to Su Ru, Su Mo and others.
Just when Lei Xiao had just finished handling all this.
The prompting sound of rapid recitation suddenly rang in my ears.
While confused, Lei Xiao noticed.
This time, the frequency of the voice prompts was obviously much faster than before.
This undoubtedly means that more than one subordinate has activated this special skill that was deeply engraved in his mind when he signed the contract.
Without hesitation, I got connected immediately.
Immediately, the voices of the two Shadow Squadron commanders, Dean and Fran, came over almost at the same time: "Good morning, Lord!"
Hearing each other's voices, the two of them were obviously stunned for a moment. After a moment, they said in unison again: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation!"
"Don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly."
Sensing the urgency in their words, Lei Xiao responded calmly.
"I would like to inform my lord, the strength of the Second Prince's faction in this area, which is closely monitored by the subordinate squadron. All the cities with Iron Gate as the center, without exception, suddenly carried out large-scale military mobilization!"
Only Fran's crisp voice was heard, which rang first.
"I would like to inform you, Lord Lord, that the prince's forces, which are closely monitored by the subordinate squadron, and the cities headed by Songluo City, are also gathering troops on a large scale and are ready for war!"
Dean's solemn voice came after him.
"Is it really going to start..."
After hearing this expected report, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and walked towards the outside of the lord's office while asking: "Besides, are there any other clues about the reason or goal of these two forces gathering armies?"
"Back to Lord Lord, all the actions of the other party were carried out almost flawlessly. Even the commanders have already moved into the tightly guarded military camps or the city lord's palace with iron walls, and there is no way to obtain any further information."
Dean responded helplessly, and then rang out: "My subordinates tried their best, including cross-dressing, infiltration and sneaking in, but they all had little effect. After all, the city lord's palace and the core area of the military camp both have perfect
The detection circle prevents people from getting even closer."
"Back to the lord, the situation on my subordinates' side is basically the same."
Fran's clear voice rang out: "These hostile commanders are extremely cautious, and the soldiers at the lower level do not know any core secrets. Therefore, the subordinates can only pass through important facilities such as the military camp and the city lord's palace.
Peripheral monitoring and analysis to determine the other party’s real-time dynamics.”
"Well done. If you easily alert the enemy, it will easily arouse the other party's alert."
Having said that, Lei Xiao had already passed the spiral staircase and arrived at the spacious and bright castle hall on the first floor.
Waving to the old butler Ward and others who were standing there, Lei Xiao signaled to be silent, and Lei Xiao added: "Always pay attention to the movements of the two. If any troops leave their fiefdom, be sure to notify me as soon as possible."
"I obey! Lord, please rest assured!"
The voices of the two shadow squadron commanders came over at the same time.
After he stopped talking, Lei Xiao took the black tea cup, took a sip first, and then said to the old butler beside him: "Ward, tell me, from now on, the territory will remain silent, and no one is allowed to make loud noises.
"
"As you command! Lord!"
The old housekeeper bowed and saluted, then accepted the order and left.
"Then, it's time for me to check on the situation in Wancheng River."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao strode out of the lord's mansion.
Facing the rising sun, Lei Xiao went straight to the nearest city wall in a short time.
Standing on the city wall and looking down, Lei Xiao discovered with joy.
The deep gullies and trenches outside the city wall are already filled with streams.
At a glance, the sparkling waves make people feel relaxed and happy.
Moreover, judging from the faint ripples on the water surface, this newly built moat is obviously connected to the surrounding naturally formed streams and is not a pool of stagnant water.
"In this way, the territorial moat that I have longed for is finally completed perfectly!"
Looking at the ten-meter-wide gurgling water, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
After that, after having a sumptuous breakfast with all the subordinates, Lei Xiao gathered all the important personnel in the hall of the mansion as usual.
During this period of time, Lei Xiao also received reports from Marquis Rose, Orr, Richa, Randall and others.
From this, it is not difficult to see that the prelude to a full-scale war has indeed resounded to every corner of this area.
At this time, Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne, moved his dark eyes and began to look down.
On his right side are the commander-in-chief of the remaining troops in the territory, the heavy-armed guard captain Rogge, the deputy commander half-elf archer captain Bai Zhi, the logistics commander old housekeeper Ward, the deputy logistics commander Rudy and Gang.
loose.
After that, there are dragon cavalry captain Sean, werewolf squadron captain Orson, two heavy shield shooter squadron captains Runo and Russ brothers, two magician squadron captains Zhuqi and Finley, Rick and other five long archers.
The squadron leader, and the gunner squadron leader Aylin and three other people.
On his left hand side, there are a group of main subordinates, namely Hu Zhan, Hong Ye, Lian, Bert, Ye Cang, Ju Bai, Ariel, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Chao Yan, Xue Ya, Fa Xia, Bai
Wei, A Ling, A Bing, Xiao Ya, and the newly joined female necromancer Lina.
Lei Xiao's eyes passed over every familiar face in the lower position in turn, and a warm current of peace of mind arose in his heart. He sighed secretly: "My subordinate team is really getting stronger and stronger.
With these guys around, I feel like I can do anything.”
While sighing, Lei Xiao did not hesitate. He first connected with the leaders of each territory, as well as the half-elf Kawagu, and the Snow Wolf clan Shi Feng, then connected with Dean and Fran, and ordered the two to describe it again.
The situation just now.
During this process, the city lords who also had their own complete intelligence systems also made corresponding supplements.
In the end, they all pointed to the huge power of the eldest prince and the second prince in this area. They were obviously preparing to launch a large-scale war, but the goals and objectives were still unclear.
After listening to this series of reports, the faces of the subordinates present were stern, and while they were slightly nervous, they all looked like they were gearing up.
During this period of time, with the gift of the lord, almost everyone present has made great progress that was unimaginable before.
And now, as the war is about to come, it is naturally time for them to repay the lord!
Lei Xiao, who was sitting at the top of the throne, looked at the fighting spirit and high morale of his subordinates. He nodded with satisfaction, and then began the general mobilization before the war.
