Chapter 509: Lord and Princess on the Wall
"Is there another possibility for me?"
Hearing Lei Xiao's inexplicable words, Ariel, who had drooping eyebrows, raised her head again, looked at Lei Xiao with a puzzled expression, and said, "He came from another world, what do you mean by that?"
"A possibility that can not only quell the power struggle in the capital, bring Lengyan back to its former strength, but also allow you to return to the capital and reunite with your father."
Looking directly into Ariel's confused starry eyes, Lei Xiao smiled faintly.
At their position, there were no soldiers of the Cold Flame Army around, only a group of subordinates, so it was a good time to talk to Ariel.
"Are you serious?!"
Hearing the sound, Ariel's star pupils suddenly became as bright as jewels, unbelievable.
However, this brilliant brilliance was fleeting, and a haze flooded Ariel's delicate cheeks again: "Don't make fun of me, how is this possible?"
At this time, Ariel clearly understood.
Compared with her three princely brothers who are in the royal capital, her strength is not even a drop in the ocean.
After all, the sphere of influence of her three brothers is not just as simple as the capital and the surrounding areas, but has already spread all over Lengyan.
This kind of huge strength comparison is like countless giant peaks, pressing down on her body, so what else?
"Before the start of this fortress offensive and defensive battle, I'm afraid even Bai Lao himself didn't believe that we will win such a big victory."
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao's dark eyes moved, and he focused his gaze on the cheering Leng Yan soldiers not far away, and said lightly: "The victory in front of me already explains everything, it is because Your presence made the impossible possible."
Having said that, Lei Xiao's eyes fell on Ariel again, and he smiled and said, "If you hadn't insisted on coming to this border area, the Holy Night Army would have already breached these three fortresses, right?"
Undoubtedly, the reason why Lei Xiao said this was for one purpose.
That is to make Ariel, the fifth princess of Leng Yan, realize her importance.
After all, before this, Ariel, who was forced to leave the royal capital, had already deeply understood the power gap between her and the other princes, and her heart was full of frustration of powerlessness.
And letting Ariel regain her confidence and ignite the flame of hope is naturally the first step for Lei Xiao to support her on the throne.
After all, the current Ariel is like a piece of rough jade.
And what our side has to do is to polish her into a qualified cold flame queen as soon as possible.
And, in this process, take advantage of the opportunity to bring the eastern region of Lengyan, and even the entire Lengyan under his command, so that he can accumulate strength to the maximum extent.
In turn, the overall combat capability and equipment level of the entire Lengyan territory will be improved, laying a solid foundation for the development of the territory.
Only in this way can Lei Xiao gain enough capital to look at other human nations on the mainland, and even other races.
Thereby continuously accumulating resources and making full preparations for the terrible catastrophe that may come at any time.
After all, although the human nations are huge, they are limited in forging and alchemy, and cannot compete with other longer-lived races.
"All in all, just like what Wang Xi said, my talent is very likely to be able to solve the catastrophe, and even figure out the many mysteries and truths of the blank era, as well as the real reason why a billion lords came here."
At this moment, Lei Xiao looked at Ariel, whose starry eyes were twinkling in front of him, who was already moved.
While continuing to think: "Of course, Wang Xi also said at the same time that this is an extremely difficult and tortuous road. Maybe what will appear in front of me in the future is not hope, but an abyss of despair."
"As a result, all I can do now is to keep walking unswervingly. The unknown is scary, but I believe that even if it is a long night, there will be a moment of dawn."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao took a deep breath, his gaze was like a torch.
Next, the first thing I need to do is to perfectly subdue the proud Princess Lengyan in front of me.
On the other side, after hearing Lei Xiao's encouragement just now, Ariel obviously still hesitated, and whispered again: "But this time, although we won a big victory, the things I did were very few. Its rare, basically its all due to you.
"That's right."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao continued: "However, if there are things I can do, there will naturally be things you can do."
After a pause, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and said, "My dear Fifth Princess, take a look around you."
"My surroundings?"
Hearing the sound, Ariel looked around while being puzzled.
It was found that the surrounding city walls were full of cheering soldiers of the Lengyan Army. Everyone's cheeks were filled with joyful smiles after victory, and their morale was extremely high.
"Dear Fifth Princess, if it weren't for your encouragement before the start of the battle, I am afraid that the 30,000 Lengyan soldiers in the three fortresses would not have been able to maintain this state when facing several times more Holy Night Army. Get your morale up."
Lei Xiao continued to smile and spoke again.
"Hearing what you said, there is indeed something I can do!"
Hearing this, Ariel said excitedly as her slender eyelashes flickered.
However, after a while, she shook her head again and said: "What I can do, my brothers can also do. This is not my advantage. Maybe they can do better than me. Its better, otherwise, you wont get the support of so many nobles and wealthy businessmen.
"Dear Your Highness the Fifth Princess, what I'm talking about is not about boosting the morale of the soldiers itself."
Looking at Ariel's fair face, Lei Xiao smiled and said, "It's you, not yours, who stand at the front line to boost morale and fight side by side with the soldiers. Brother Wang."
At this time, Lei Xiao accentuated his tone, and continued: "What you have is a heart that is truly willing to protect Leng Yan and thousands of civilians. This is exactly your brothers, The most precious treasure that is not possessed."
"That being said, I understand the temperaments of the three brothers. No matter what, I can't change them a little bit."
Shaking her head helplessly, Ariel sighed softly and said, "What's more, I don't have the strength and capital at all."
"As I said just now, if there are things I can do, there will naturally be things you can do."
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao said lightly: "Since you can't change your brother Wang's words, then it's okay to realize your ideals by yourself?"
"From another world, you mean you are willing to help me?"
Hearing the sound, Ariel's starry eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked.
Immediately afterwards, a look of disbelief suddenly appeared on her face, and she said in shock, "From another world, what do you mean by your last sentence... Let me also join in the power struggle? This is you Another possibility just mentioned?!"
"Not to join the power struggle, but to end it all and put it back on track."
Looking at Ariel's starry eyes, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and then said: "Dear Fifth Princess, as far as I know, in the more than 600-year history of the Lengyan Kingdom, there are many There is a queen, right?"
"In the history of Leng Yan, there are indeed heroic queens, such as Rose King Esther..."
Mumbling to this point, Ariel quickly shook her head, waved her hands and said, "But, I never thought of becoming Leng Yan's new queen."
"Now you can think about it."
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao continued: "Or, would you like to see Leng Yan in the double vortex of power and foreign enemies, faltering or even overturning?"
Looking at Ariel's bewildered eyes, Lei Xiao went on to say: "I remember you said when you were boosting morale, "This battle decides not only the life and death of each of us, but also the life and death of each of us." descendants and the future of the kingdom," right? "
Speaking of this, Lei Xiao said with a more serious tone: "Could it be that you want to watch the future of the Lengyan Kingdom fall into endless wars and disputes?"
"Of course I don't want to!"
On the other side, Ariel raised her fair neck and responded immediately.
However, after only a moment, Ariel lowered her brows again, and said with some fingers at a loss: "I don't know if I can do all this well, so as not to be ashamed for my cold royal family."
"Where your heart is going, where your body is going, at least you have a more protective heart than your brother Wang."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao didn't say anything else, but left behind Ariel, who was in a state of agitation, and left temporarily with his subordinates.
Needless to say, the reason why Lei Xiao chose to show his cards before subduing the opponent.
Naturally, it was to prepare Ariel and further strengthen her determination.
Of course, although Lei Xiao can also find a way to subdue the opponent first, and then order him to do so.
However, what Ariel needs to control in the end is a huge kingdom after all, and it is undoubtedly not enough to rely on the current belief.
What Lei Xiao wanted was a powerful queen, not a cowardly princess.
Therefore, it is safer to let him make up his mind and then seek help from his own side.
After leaving Ariel, the first thing Lei Xiao did was to contact Guanzhong in Kongqing Town and Xuanyue in Mailan Town.
He ordered the two to contact Guan Te and the other two garrison commanders of Mailan Town as soon as possible to prepare for the next secret subjugation work.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao contacted Dean, the commander of the Shadow Squadron who was in charge of intelligence collection in the border area.
First, he briefly introduced the situation of this battle, and then instructed him to closely monitor the dynamics of both sides on the battlefield from the end of this battle.
Before that, because the two shadow squadrons that had just been dispatched were building intelligence bases in various cities.
Therefore, the intelligence gathering work has not officially started.
"I have to say, this time, thanks to Ariel, I was able to break the attack of the Holy Night Army. Otherwise, once the Holy Night Army breaks through the fortress, the situation will undoubtedly be even more difficult."
"Therefore, the next dynamics of the border battlefield must be firmly in my hands. Before that, I have distributed 50 invisibility cloaks and 50 illusion cloaks to the two shadow squadrons, plus With the cooperation of Grand Duke Bo Lun of Shangshan Jing, it is naturally not a problem to do this."
Thinking of this, surrounded by his subordinates, Lei Xiao came to the guest room of the forest edge fortress again, and checked the injuries of Lin, Nan Xing and Nan Yue again.
After undergoing the treatment of Jubai, the three of them are basically fine.
Next, when Lei Xiao had just ordered his subordinates to rest in the room for a while.
The dusty Hong Ye flashed in front of him, and bowed to report: "My lord, my subordinates have successfully completed the pursuit mission!"
"Very good, thanks for your hard work."
Nodding slightly to the dragon woman in front of him, Lei Xiao asked, "How is the current situation on the battlefield?"
"My lord, Lengyan's cavalry chased them all the way to the front camp of Shengye, and then they stopped attacking."
Seeing that Hong Ye still maintained the posture of bowing, she responded.
"Behind the forward camp is a canyon area, which is easy to set up ambushes. It seems that the Lengyan army is probably afraid of being ambushed by the holy night army."
A rough and majestic voice sounded, and the knotweed said thoughtfully.
"As for the forward camp, it was completely destroyed when we returned!"
On the other side, Zhao Yan, who was wearing a pointed witch hat, blinked her starry eyes and said excitedly.
"Bai Wei, I hope you didn't sleep in Chaoyan's lower bunk."
Slightly pursing his lips, Lei Xiao teased for no reason, and then took stock of the subordinates around him.
At this time, except for A Ling and A Bing, who were still on standby at the Shanbao Fortress.
Knotweed, Hong Ye, Ye Cang, Chao Yan, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Bai Wei, and Lin are all by her side.
As for Bert and Jubai, of course they still stayed with Ariel.
As for Xiao En and other ten pterosaur knights, after completing the task of attacking the camp, Lei Xiao had ordered them to hide secretly in the surrounding ~ for emergencies.
"Everyone, everyone has worked hard in this battle."
First, he took a sip of the fragrant tea that Bai Wei handed over, and Lei Xiao said: "This time, we have achieved such a result, and everyone present has contributed a lot."
"Willing to die for the lord!"
All the subordinates immediately bowed and saluted, and responded neatly.
Gently waving his hand, signaling to everyone that there is no need to be too polite, Lei Xiao said again: "When I return to the territory, I will upgrade the combat equipment items in the storage ring for you, and then tell Rudy to treat you well."
"Thank you very much, Lord Lord!"
Hearing the sound, a look of joy appeared on the faces of all the people present, and bowed again.
Just when Lei Xiao and the others were talking about this.
There was a polite knock on the door.
