Chapter 805 About the Northern Territory and the Next Plan
After taking care of Caroline and Hilda easily, Lei Xiao invited them with a smile and entered the blue miracle building castle in front of them, that is, the Light Chaser Castle, for a brief tour inside.
During the visit, in order to maintain a sense of mystery and leave room for leeway, Lei Xiao would not tell the secrets of this crystal blue city, the specific role of the Light Chaser Castle, or the origins of Xion and other blue-armored soldiers.
Instead, he made a detailed plan with the two of them to provide comprehensive food assistance to the north, and agreed to implement it immediately after repelling the two princes' armies to prevent the other party from noticing.
Although it is not the time to inform the other Northern City Lords yet, Caroline, who knows the Northern Territory well, naturally knows best how to act.
After taking control of Crystal Blue City, implementing all this will undoubtedly save a lot of manpower and material resources.
As for why Lei Xiao wanted to not only assist the Fortress, but also the entire Northern Territory, it was naturally to further enhance Ariel's reputation and lay the foundation for conquering the entire Northern Territory in the next step.
In addition, for some remote villages that are currently in crisis, Lei Xiao has also formulated a series of measures and plans to ensure that supplies can be provided in advance without being noticed by opponents.
Although these villages are remote, they supply a certain number of high-quality soldiers to Buluo Fortress every year and are also the hometowns of many soldiers.
As long as we first assist in the name of not losing the fortress, and then disclose the fact of our assistance when the Northern Territory is taken into the bag, it will undoubtedly play a certain role in promoting the control of the entire Northern Territory in the near future, and it can also improve the soldiers under Caroline's command.
their morale.
After that, Lei Xiao inquired in detail about the distribution of forces in the north, including not only the areas occupied by the two princes, but also the specific situation of the neutral nobles.
Compared with the information we currently have, as a princess-general who has guarded the fortress for many years, Caroline obviously knows more comprehensively.
Lei Xiao made no secret of why he asked for this information. The purpose was to help Ariel control the entire northern territory.
Through Caroline's detailed description, Lei Xiao learned more.
Needless to say, the traditional aristocrats and new aristocrats who occupy one-third of the northern territory can be eradicated directly as long as they can defeat the two princes' armies.
The other two-thirds of the neutral nobles have the possibility of being conquered directly.
After all, the food shortage in the north has become more and more obvious. In addition, Ariel's reputation for being generous to the people and being kind and generous has become more widely spread, and it has a subtle influence on these neutral nobles.
"During the time when they were shrouded in the claws of the Pars Empire, many people in the north were forced to become playthings and tools of the Pars Empire. Therefore, most cities in the north were already hostile to the traditional aristocrats and new aristocrats.
The tyranny practiced in the fiefdom is abhorrent."
Caroline walked in the crystal clear and gorgeous blue corridor, while sighing at such a marvelous architectural style, she froze her eyebrows.
"It was under such circumstances that most of the cities in the north were not beguiled by those guys and joined their ranks to do whatever they wanted."
"And my sister has accumulated a lot of reputation in the eastern region, especially after she has lifted the shackles of free farmers, which has won the favor of the city lords in the north."
Caroline finally retracted her gaze, nodded to Lei Xiao and said: "From this, as long as we can successfully defeat the army of those two guys again, plus comprehensive food assistance, there should be a lot of
The neutral city lord takes the initiative to surrender."
After saying this, Caroline couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.
Although under the shadow of 30 legions, 4 kingdom generals, and an unknown number of fifth-level powerhouses, the way forward is still very slim.
But just like what this guest from another world said, at least he has seen the dawn of hope and is fighting for the future!
While her heart was surging, Caroline's starry eyes twinkled and her eyes gradually became calmer.
Caroline had no other ideas about Lei Xiao's blunt statement about controlling the entire Northern Territory. On the contrary, she was very supportive.
Caroline clearly understood that as the third princess, although she also had the right to inherit the throne, she was not the material to become a king at all, and she had no idea about the ubiquitous intrigues and annoying etiquette in the palace.
Not the slightest interest.
Rather than picking up a quill and dealing with piles of official documents every day like his father, I still prefer to be a warrior galloping on the battlefield, picking up a long sword and a shield to protect the peace and tranquility of the Lengyan Kingdom.
"Compared with the careless me and the other three violent guys, Ariel, who is thoughtful but truly willing to think about her people, is indeed the most suitable to become the new king of Leng Yan."
"This can be seen from Ariel's childhood. Although she is petite and willful, she cannot hide her inner kindness."
"Every time whenever a people suffers a disaster, no matter where it is, Ariel will definitely do her best to help the people, even though at that time, what she could do was extremely limited."
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Caroline's fair face.
"And now, with the help of this young man from another world, Ariel already has a lot of capital and can influence the future direction of the Cold Flame Kingdom, and even become the next new king. As Ariel's sister,
, I naturally support it very much.”
"This is hundreds of times better than letting one of those three guys become the new king. Otherwise, my life and the peace of the entire North will be really in danger. And if it is Ariel,
My logistics and reinforcements will be perfectly guaranteed."
"What's more important is that Ariel's growth has really impressed me. Her willfulness and unruliness have completely disappeared from her body, replaced by firmness and calmness, the calmness of the evil dragon standing in front of her without changing her expression.
, this is not only inner maturity, but also inner strength."
"All of this may be attributed to this mysterious young man from another world. They must have experienced life and death tests together."
Caroline's starry eyes moved and inadvertently landed on Lei Xiao again.
"Since this young man from another world can convince even me, maybe he can really help Ariel and bring a new dawn to the Cold Flame Kingdom."
While Caroline was thinking to herself, Lei Xiao was also contemplating.
But what Lei Xiao was thinking about was how to control and stabilize the entire northern border at a lower cost and faster speed.
After pondering for a while, Lei Xiao asked Caroline: "Your Highness the Third Princess, once we really defeat the coalition of the two princes, plus comprehensive food aid, how much money can we get from the neutral northern city lord?
support?"
"Currently, in addition to the 10 city lords who are loyal to those two guys, there are still 20 city lords who are in a neutral state."
Caroline nodded thoughtfully and responded: "According to my estimation, there will be about 10 city lords who can join our camp immediately. As for the other 10 city lords, I'm afraid it will take a little more effort."
"Most of these other 10 city lords were my father who followed Ariel and I to retake the Northern Territory from the Pars Empire. They are very loyal to their father and are difficult to shake easily."
When Caroline said this, she smiled at Lei Xiaoer again and said: "However, if it really comes to the time when we must take over the Northern Territory, I will personally come forward as a lobbyist. With my experience in working in the Northern Territory for so many years,
With her prestige and Ariel’s rising reputation, everything will surely be solved.”
"Then please trouble Your Highness the Third Princess. Your Highness Ariel and I will also be able to pass by then."
After listening to Caroline's words, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
With two Lengyan Princesses taking action at the same time, the matter is indeed a sure thing.
If there are still a few stubborn ones, it would be easy to directly eliminate them or use coercion to lure them away.
As long as these northern city lords surrender and admire from the bottom of their hearts, and then use their huge wealth and various magical weapons and other items to consolidate their loyalty, everything will naturally fall into place.
"Next, will the only army left to defeat the two princes? The opponent's apparent combat power alone is already astonishing enough. I hope there won't be too many hidden trump cards."
Just when Lei Xiao curled his lips and thought of this, the group of people had already arrived at the control hall on the third floor of the Light Chaser Castle.
Needless to say, Caroline and Hilda were shocked when they saw the neatly arranged real-time magic projections and rows of magic control chairs.
Lei Xiao nodded to Xion, who was on standby, and ordered him to start teleportation.
With Xion stroking his chest and saluting, not long after, the entire city appeared in a crystal clear blue galaxy.
After seeing the real-time image in the magic projection, Caroline and Hilda had not yet reacted, but in the blink of an eye, the entire city had appeared not far away from another large city.
"This is Ice Armor City?!"
Hilda looked at the city where the magic projection appeared, and couldn't help blurting out: "Ice Armor City is the city within the great prince's sphere of influence, and it is also the northern city closest to Wangxing City. So, we are now located in the northern border.
Is it at the southern edge?”
"That's right, this is not the southernmost point of the North. I'm just looking for a reference first."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and nodded to Xion again.
This time, when the scene in the magic projection became clear again, a large military fortress standing on the highest point of the glacier was reflected.
Caroline and Hilda knew this military fortress very well.
"Is it the Ice Valley Fortress of the Pars Empire? I didn't expect to be able to cross the entire northern border in an instant."
Caroline took a deep breath slowly, her eyes filled with uncontrollable shock.
"Your Highness the Third Princess, General Hilda, do you now fully understand the method of reinforcing Star Star City?"
Lei Xiao looked at the amazed expressions of the two men, smiled lightly and said: "At that time, we only need to let the army directly enter the city. If there are changes in the fortress, we can return reinforcements as soon as possible."
"My sister Ke Qing always surprises me."
After a long while, Caroline finally came back to her senses.
Although she had just guessed that this miraculous city was standing between the Fortress and the group of green rot pterosaurs.
But when I witnessed the city crossing the entire northern border and even reaching the sphere of influence of the Pars Empire, I was still shocked in my heart.
Afterwards, Lei Xiao and Caroline finalized some details of reinforcements, including the matter of replacing all soldiers in the northern border with second-level equipment before the war. Caroline and Hilda were excited to hear this.
Thank you again and again.
This undoubtedly means that the comprehensive strength of the northern border army will be greatly enhanced!
At the same time, Lei Xiao also revealed intentionally or unintentionally that if everything went well, it would be time to equip all members with level 3 equipment next time, which made the two of them even more excited.
It wasn't until everything was finalized that the group left Crystal Blue City again.
Since it was already late, and Ariel and Caroline hadn't seen each other for a long time, Lei Xiao decided to stay at the Fortress for one night and return tomorrow morning under the warm invitation of Caroline and Hilda.
territory.
"I have to say, it seems that a person's night has become a bit difficult."
Lying on the comfortable big bed in the luxurious single bedroom in Buluo Fortress, Lei Xiao couldn't help but curled his lips slightly.
As for Ariel, she naturally slept in Caroline's room.
"Fortunately, after a busy day, I have perfectly achieved my set goal."
"Not only did Teresa, the Saint of the Moon Temple, retreat from the Holy Night Army, but she also successfully formed an alliance with the third princess, Caroline."
"Without the deadly army along the way, coupled with the reinforcements from the northern border army, this undoubtedly means that I have initially reached the conditions to compete with the coalition forces of the two princes."
Lei Xiao tightened the quilt around him and let out a sigh of relief.
"Just like what I just thought, although I don't know how many trump cards these two vengeful guys have prepared that I didn't expect, what is certain is that this will definitely be an arduous battle.
And the outcome is uncertain.”
"Thus, now that the overall situation has been basically settled, what I need to do next is to seize the time to increase the elite combat power of my subordinates."
"This is undoubtedly the fastest way to increase overall combat effectiveness besides large-scale recruitment."
Lei Xiao looked at the dark ceiling and nodded thoughtfully.
"Currently, I still have the third-level [Star Pattern Magic Pill] and the third-level [Double Moon Condensation Pill] from Xue Ya and Faxia Alchemy that have not yet been used."
"Although a part of it was broken down and given back to the two of them for further refining, it was still enough for me to have two more third-level elite squadrons in my hands. This is theoretically comparable to the power of an ordinary legion."
"And the recruitment orders I have accumulated are enough to summon two elite third-level squadrons before the war begins. Together with the original half-elf wolf cavalry, this will undoubtedly become an important trump card in my hand."
"As for the other Rose Energy-Gathering Pills and Qi-Condensing Pills, they must be put to good use as soon as possible."
"By the way, I wonder how Shannai is doing. Exploring the ruins of King Loren's capital is also a way to quickly increase our strength..."
While Lei Xiao was thinking this, his breathing began to become evener.
