After Lei Xiao answered the call, a sharp and distinctive voice came over. It was Benson, the Lord of Luolong City: "Your Majesty, the last city of the new nobles in this area is already in sight.
drop!"
After a pause, Benson's tone became a little more frustrated: "I originally planned to have a big battle, but I didn't expect that my subordinates had just arrived at the city and before they could even start their battle, those weaklings came out of the city to give up.
Got it!"
"As long as we surrender quickly enough, no one will be able to attack the city? It's a good thing to be able to fight without bloodshed."
Lei Xiao curled his lips and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the next battle is already close at hand. I believe it won't be long before our "Skull Crushing Madman" can kill everyone again."
"Hehe, this blood-stained hammer of mine can be wielded for the lord at any time!"
Benson's voice boiling with fighting spirit immediately reached Lei Xiao's ears.
"Okay, let's act according to the planned plan I deployed before and stabilize this newly occupied city as soon as possible."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said sincerely: "Benson, you have worked hard this time."
"Lord, where are you? Without your lord, my subordinates would have perished in the Kingdom of Thorns."
Benson's voice became more formal, and he said solemnly: "Don't worry, Lord, as the Lord of a city, my subordinates know how to perfectly implement the Lord's stabilization plan!"
"Go ahead and do it. I have more important work for you to complete next."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and smiled lightly.
After he stopped talking, the joy on Lei Xiao's face was beyond words.
This undoubtedly means that the eleven cities in the new aristocratic territory in the east of Lengyan are completely in his own hands!
In a happy mood, after Lei Xiao finished dinner with his subordinates, he received two more battle reports from Bert and Ju Bai.
The last two remaining cities of the traditional nobles also surrendered and were successfully included in the territory's sphere of influence.
In other words, all twelve cities in this area that were once the traditional aristocratic territory also fell into Lei Xiao's hands!
"Huh, have you finally accomplished the small stage goal?"
After instructing Ju Bai to report the final battle report and stabilize the city as soon as possible, Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne in the hall of the mansion, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
So far, after a series of thrilling battles and careful deployment of territories as bait, I have perfectly achieved the preset small goals and become the sole master of the thirty-three cities in the east of Lengyan!
This brings a successful conclusion to the regional battle that evolved from a territorial defense war!
"Long live the lord!"
Ariel, who was standing by her side, had a look of excitement and joy on her fair and delicate face, and blurted out involuntarily.
In addition to being overjoyed, Ariel couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.
At the beginning, when I was escaping from the royal capital in embarrassment, I was so weak that I just wanted to save my life from the overwhelming clutches of the three royal brothers, and then find ways to do something within my power.
As for competing against the three powerful king brothers, I wouldn't even dare to dream about it!
But now, with the Lord's extraordinary means and unsparing protection, not only do I no longer have to worry about my life, but I am also getting closer to my ideal step by step!
That is to let all the people of the Cold Flame Kingdom live a life of ample food and clothing!
"I didn't expect that the lord actually kept his word and completely defeated all the king's forces in this area, giving me the soil and space to realize my ideals."
"It seems that my choice to trust the Lord was indeed a very correct thing."
Ariel's starry eyes flickered as she cast an increasingly adoring and admiring look at Lei Xiao.
It was this tall and tall young man from another world in front of him who brought him the hope and dawn of his dream!
"No, this unparalleled dawn, your lord has not only brought it to me, but also to the tens of millions of people in the entire Cold Flame Kingdom!"
Thinking of this, Ariel looked at Lei Xiao with unspeakable gratitude in her eyes.
Just as Ariel's mind was agitated, a look of awe appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
Lei Xiao clearly understood in his heart that completing this small stage goal was far from the end, but the beginning of a new and arduous journey. There would be more severe tests waiting for him next.
"At present, regardless of how the eldest prince, second prince, and Holy Night Kingdom will react, there are two thorny issues before me."
"One is how to deal with that part of the mountain fortress, the 13,000 traditional nobles and new nobles who were recruited to defend it."
"When I left the mountain fortress, I had already received a promise from Bai Lao. Before the end of this war, Bai Lao would personally take action to frighten this part of the conscripted defenders. With the fortress legion, one of the eight royal legions,
With strength, it is naturally easy to do this.”
"Now, since the entire area has been pacified, I should also start to solve this extremely unstable problem. Otherwise, once it is used by someone with intentions, the consequences will be disastrous. After all, the Mountain Castle Fortress, like Wangxing City, is in the eastern part of Lengyan
’s gateway.”
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and continued to think.
"As for the second, it is how to deal with the number of prisoners as high as 30,000."
"With limited population and troops, killing them is obviously not a wise choice. It will only cause more intense conflicts and resistance. Therefore, how to cleverly convert the captives into my power is something that needs to be carefully considered.
It’s something.”
"After all, I am not short of food now, but the reserves are very sufficient. The town of Mailan alone is enough to supply hundreds of thousands of troops with food rations for more than a year. Moreover, I have already instructed Orr and others to build warehouses to store food.
It was done in secret.”
"In addition, just as I thought before, finding a way to convert it into our combat power is also applicable to the fallen nobles of the mountain fortress being recruited as defenders. From this, it is not difficult to see that in fact, these two difficult things,
It can be completely combined into one piece for advancement.”
"As long as this matter is handled properly, the combat effectiveness of my subordinates will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced!"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately opened his mouth and contacted the city lords from various places to start discussing this matter.
You must know that the current military strength of the eldest prince and the second prince is still at an absolutely overwhelming advantage, so naturally this matter cannot be delayed for a moment.
However, just when Lei Xiao was in full swing to further stabilize the entire area and accumulate strength.
On the far side, an unexpected conspiracy has begun to quietly brew among two figures who still control huge powers.
