After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao contacted the five main subordinate forces responsible for the traditional aristocratic area by reading the words.
They are the Mountain Crystal Army led by Bert and Bolen, the Mountain Castle Fortress levy army led by Orange Bai, the Blue Cold Fort garrison led by Rose Marquis, the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group led by Randall, and the already
Munn, who joined forces with Xuan Yue, led the Mailan Town garrison and the Kerr surrender army of Velen City.
After the six cities of Songluo City, Liu's End, Pentium City, Velen City, Rock City and Zem Town, four more traditional aristocratic cities were either captured or surrendered, and then were included in the
Lei Xiao's sphere of influence.
As for the last two, due to the long distances, they were both on the way to the march. The only thing left was time when they were successfully captured.
After all, the traditional aristocratic core cities and important towns such as Songluo City, Velen City, and Pentium City have all been captured by Lei Xiao immediately, and the remaining surrounding small towns are naturally not something to be afraid of.
"So, does it mean that the twelve cities within the influence of the traditional nobles in the eastern part of Lengyan are already under my control?"
Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne, shared the latest battle report of the traditional noble area with his subordinates, and nodded with satisfaction.
After hearing that the battle was going very smoothly, the faces of all the subordinates also showed excited expressions.
"Okay, let's learn more about the situation in the new noble area."
Lei Xiao first took a sip of the black tea that Ariel had just brewed, and then continued: "Huo De, let's start with you first."
"Sir, after initially capturing the two new noble cities of Ledo and Sly near Golin City, according to your order, I will rejoin the army with Risilixia and rush to the rescue of this hope.
Star City.”
Hod performed a standard knightly salute and responded respectfully: "In addition, on the way to Wangxing City, I also accepted the surrender of Fengzi Town and sent a large group of soldiers to garrison."
"Good job."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, put down the warm teacup in his hand, looked at the Lord of Fanyin City and said, "Al, what about your side?"
"Back to the lord, after annihilating Willy's rear army, my subordinates will follow your orders and reinforce this place non-stop."
Orr bowed and responded: "Just like Hod, my subordinates also accepted the surrender of Tell Town on the way."
"Very good, you two have worked hard."
Nodding to the two city lords, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Let Al be in charge of this Wangxing City for the time being. Both here and Fanyin City have the attributes of a trading city, and it is easy to manage them."
It’s more convenient. As for Hod, after the Lengyan East is completely pacified, I have other extremely important matters that you will be responsible for."
"As you command!"
The two of them touched their chests and saluted, saying in unison.
"Then it's time to ask other people about their situation."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he contacted Tina from the Blue Rose Knights, Ryan from the Broken Blade Knights, and Benson, Lord of the Fallen Dragon City. These three subordinate forces were still active in the sphere of influence of the new nobles, and confirmed the latest news.
Condition.
According to the action plan originally formulated by Lei Xiao, the Blue Rose Knights led by Tina and Tiya, after capturing the Iron Gate Fort, pursued the victory and captured the Copperlink City near the Iron Gate Fort.
This city was the original fiefdom of Rad's family. It was here that his family developed and grew, and finally annexed the Tina family's Iron Gate.
The Broken Blade Knights led by Ryan were in basically the same situation as Tina. After capturing Gray Rock City, they also successfully captured Eriton's hometown of Grie City, making this city also merged into Lei Xiao's.
sphere of influence.
As for the Goblin Legion led by the Lords of Fallen Dragon City, Benson and Hongshi, they had easily captured an important new noble town and started to move towards the next new noble town.
"That is to say, after the initial five cities of Tiege Castle, Gray Rock City, Ledo City, Sly City, and Wangxing City, there are finally five cities including Style Town, Ter Town, Tonglian City, and Gerry City.
Are you under my control?"
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and murmured to himself: "So, of the eleven cities of the new nobles, only the last target that Benson is heading towards is left."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao took a deep breath, and his face immediately became filled with joy.
In addition to the Kongqing Town, Mailan Town, Magnet Town, Shuiyue City, Red Arrow Town, Fenglong City, Fanyin City, Lanleng Castle, Gelin City, and Luolong City that he had already captured before, a total of 10
City, 30 of the 33 cities in the eastern part of Leng Yan are already under his control!
Overjoyed, Lei Xiao first shared the latest battle report of the New Nobles Region, and then contacted Lin who was left behind in Kongqing Town to inquire about the latest situation in Kongqing Town.
"Back to Lord, everything is recovering in an orderly manner."
Lin Sa's angry voice soon came over: "The surrendered troops of the traditional nobles in the territory in the forest have all been transferred to Kongqing Town and the neighboring Mailan Town, while the surrendered troops of the new nobles have been temporarily transferred to Kongqing Town and Mailan Town next door.
Locked up in Magnet Town."
"In addition to properly arranging these prisoners, the cleaning work of the battlefields inside and outside Kongqing Town has also come to an end. I believe everything will be back on track soon."
Lin continued to report neatly: "Finally, all the wounded soldiers in the city have been properly placed and treated. Lord, please rest assured."
"Lin, you did a great job."
After listening to Lin's words, Lei Xiao nodded happily.
In this battle, Kongqing Town undoubtedly suffered the most serious losses. Not only was it besieged by the new noble armies of three legions, but it was also turned into a dead place by the Nightmare Knights.
At the same time, it was precisely because of Kongqing Town's tenacity that he bought himself time to defeat the traditional aristocratic army led by the White Knight, and then he was free to rush to the aid of Kongqing Town, laying a solid foundation for this victory.
"Although the left-behind subordinates such as the knotweed played a major role in this, the ordinary soldiers of Kongqing Town still played an indispensable role. There is no doubt about this."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and said: "Lin, Kongqing Town is the gateway to the territory. This battle has been very hard-working and meritorious. Please compile a list of the merits as soon as possible. As long as the soldiers who participated in the attack and defense of Kongqing Town
, regardless of the position or length of service, I will give a large amount of material rewards, and then I will reward them based on their merits."
After a pause, Lei Xiao added: "Each of them is a hero, and this is what they deserve."
"As you command! Lord!"
Lin's excited voice came out immediately.
"Go ahead."
After closing the conversation, Lei Xiao contacted Hong Ye and other subordinates who stayed behind in the territory, and learned that everything was also recovering in an orderly manner.
After learning about the latest situation in the entire area one by one, Lei Xiao drank up the fragrant black tea in the cup and couldn't help but fell into deep thought again.
Although the dust in the entire area has basically settled, there are still a few urgent matters before him.
The first thing is the appointment of each city lord.
Just as I had thought before, with the addition of more than 20 cities, the city owners and other key management personnel must be extremely lacking. How to get everything back to normal operation as quickly as possible has become an urgent problem to be solved.
.
"In fact, I have already made plans regarding this."
"That is, in addition to helping Tina and Ryan regain their fiefdoms, if there are no suitable candidates for other newly controlled towns, they will be matched by my old old towns nearby, forming a one-for-two or one-for-three management model.
The core managers are stationed in the new city, just like Moon in Velen City."
"Of course, this is just a temporary management strategy, not the final choice of the city master. When Ariel is put on the throne, those who have outstanding achievements under his command will naturally have to worship the prime minister and establish a new order."
"Only in this way can Ariel's rule be stabilized as quickly as possible. I can also collect all the upgradable resources of the Cold Flame Kingdom with the highest efficiency and develop as quickly as possible. After all, the future waiting for me is unknown.
Cataclysms, many unsolved mysteries, and even illusory gods.”
Lei Xiao casually put down the teacup in his hand and nodded thoughtfully.
As for the second thing, since the entire area is about to be completely controlled, it is necessary to select a city with good connections in the east of Lengyan as a temporary administrative center to assist him in handling daily affairs.
After all, more than 30 cities need a unified management organization to coordinate military recruitment, food and grass, trade, laws and other matters.
"In other words, it will be a temporary capital, and it will also allow Ariel to learn how to control a kingdom."
"As for the location of the temporary capital, I have already selected several locations. I will discuss it with my subordinates later and decide."
Lei Xiao gently held onto the smooth metal throne armrest and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The third thing is to recruit new soldiers on a large scale and assemble all the current regular garrison forces to form several main battle legions, so as to continue to expand the territory and strive to control the entire Cold Flame Kingdom as quickly as possible.
"
"This matter is the top priority at the moment. We must plan carefully when we turn around."
"As for the candidates for the generals of each legion, there is no need to worry. I have two Kingdom generals like Orange and Bait under my command, as well as battlefield veterans like Benson, as well as the wise generals Marquis Rose and Randall.
With Orr et al.”
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao continued to think.
The fourth thing is naturally to fulfill the promise and help Qin Qian and other lords of the Xiaoshen Regiment select a town to manage.
"As I thought before, the main reason why I did this was to gather the strength of the lord, use the experience and knowledge of the previous life, and the lord's unique communication function to do something that the subordinates cannot do."
"In other words, I want to build this city, which is managed by Qin Qian and others, into a gathering place for lords from other worlds. As the manager of these lords, Qin Qian is undoubtedly the most suitable one."
"This matter also requires detailed planning. The specific content will be left to Qin Qian to implement step by step. I only need to be responsible for making decisions."
After thinking about this in his mind, Lei Xiao pondered and nodded.
The fifth thing is about Ariel herself.
"First of all, I need to spread some of Ariel's heroic performance in this battle to further increase the reputation of the fifth princess of Leng Yan, such as the clay warrior who is not afraid of darkness and cannot be killed in the west square of Kongqing Town.
One paragraph is good.”
"Secondly, since we have officially joined the battle for the throne, the battle flags of the fifth princess and my guest princess must be finalized as soon as possible and installed in all cities and legions."
"Finally, it is to formally announce the world's participation in the competition for the throne, attract as many neutral nobles as possible to join in, and quickly expand the power to cope with the upcoming war."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but frown.
The five urgent matters above are all things that are completely within your control.
But the next sixth thing, which is the last thing, is not something that I can control.
That was to prepare for the possible countermeasures of the eldest prince, second prince, and fourth prince after the news that he and Ariel had won.
"Although the five legion reinforcements of the new nobles, as well as the reinforcements of similar size from the traditional nobles, have all withdrawn from the area around Wangxing City, with my current strength, I cannot easily compete with any prince. After all, the mantis stalks the cicada.
It is very common in this world for the oriole to stay behind, not to mention that there are three opponents competing with me."
"So what I need to do is to find a way to directly annihilate all the princes' main forces in one go. Only then can I be invincible and end this power dispute as quickly as possible."
After thinking about this in his mind, Lei Xiao's brows almost knitted together.
Although it is easy to say it, I still don't fully understand the three difficult opponents.
"Now we can only confirm that it is a mysterious organization that supports the second prince. Who is the Black Duke who supports the eldest prince? And the most inconspicuous fourth prince, what force is behind it? These are all things I still don't understand.
matter."
"What worries me most is that in this battle in the East of Lengyan, although I successfully killed the Nightmare Knight and the No. 7 man in black robe, the mysterious organization lost two more fifth-level warriors, and the White Knight broke away.
I also have no idea what kind of combat power and trump cards the other party holds in the eldest prince’s camp.”
"As for how the three princes will react and what methods they will use to deal with it, we can only collect as much information as possible at the moment and then take it one step at a time. Especially the eldest and the second eldest son. I hope these two frustrated
Guys, don’t do something that shocks me too much.”
After taking stock of everything in his mind, Lei Xiao brought his thoughts back to reality and waved to dissolve this simple meeting.
When Hodder and Orr bowed to leave, Lei Xiao seemed to remember something and cast his gaze on Jiang Lei's slender body.
