Chapter 999: uncrowned king
Latest URL: After a while, Lei Xiao broke the silence in the room first, and said, "Since the other party is in the dark and we are in the light, instead of worrying blindly, it is better to strengthen our own strength. As long as we have enough strength, we will It is enough to be immovable like a mountain, to respond to all changes with the same.”
"What Your Excellency Ke Qing said is very true, and the first step to increase your strength is to completely stabilize the interior of the kingdom. It seems that the coronation ceremony of Her Royal Highness is imminent, and Yu will go back to prepare immediately."
Wu nodded to Lei Xiao, then turned to Ariel, and asked, "His Royal Highness, the old minister is returning to the capital, do you need to go back and visit His Majesty the old king first?"
"Before I left, I made a promise before my father's hospital bed that if possible, I would return with hope and dawn, so that the smoky king would return to peace."
Hearing the sound, although Ariel's starry eyes were full of urgency, she finally shook her head and responded firmly: "At present, there are still remnants of the fallen nobles who have not yet been settled, so I think that after everything is settled, we will go back to you." Bring this good news to your father."
"Her Royal Highness's determination is admirable. The veteran is waiting for the triumphant return of Her Royal Highness and Your Excellency Ke Qing in the capital."
Seeing Ariel's firm eyes, Wuzhong nodded emphatically, and immediately left under the watchful eyes of Lei Xiao and Ariel.
Looking at Wu Li's back, Lei Xiao stroked his chin thoughtfully.
After everything is settled, there is actually one thing that has not yet been clarified, and that is Wu's true identity.
Judging from what happened in Wangxing City illusion at that time, Wu's body is very likely to be a [God Stone], which blocked his face for some reason.
However, now is obviously not the time to pursue Wu's body, as long as we know that he is on our side, it is enough. This point is enough to prove from the battle of Wangxing City.
"My lord, I'm afraid that my father really won't wake up again."
When only Lei Xiao and Ai Lier were left in the living room, the Princess Lengyan finally couldn't bear it any longer and leaned against Lei Xiao's shoulder.
However, Lei Xiao, who knew that he was not sure of healing, did not make any promises to the former, but just clenched the former's cold slender hand, and did not let go for a long time.
…
In the next two days, while our army led by Benson and Lin was in full swing, we were cleaning up the remnants of the fallen nobles.
There is only one thing that Lei Xiao mainly does, and that is to dispatch troops and deliver various supplies to various border fortresses to defend against possible crises.
First of all, needless to say, the northern border army of 20 legions, after returning to the northern border, was immediately teleported by Crystal Blue City to the unfallen fortress where Caroline was stationed to guard against the Pars Empire.
Secondly, after reorganization, the descending army corps and recruit corps that came later reached a total size of 30 corps.
They were sent to the mountain fortress to join Bailao to guard against the Kingdom of Holy Night, and the Goblin Legion sent to Luolong City and Red Stone to guard against the half-orc army in Outland.
Especially in Luolong City, Lei Xiao almost fell into the hands of the half-orc army last time, so naturally he dared not be careless this time.
As for the specific number of garrisons, there are 20 legions in Shanbao Fortress and 10 legions in Luolong City.
After all, compared to the half-orcs, the Holy Night Kingdom, which is just around the corner, is still more threatening.
Finally, the Lancastrian Legion and the Yorkman Legion will also, needless to say, soon return to their respective fiefs.
Among them, the Lancaster family is still guarding against the Grim Kingdom, and the Yorkman family is naturally still guarding against the Prairie Kingdom.
Although they lost their troops in the Battle of Fort Keil, fortunately, the two giants did not suffer injuries. Based on the existing foundation, it is still easy for each of them to assemble 20 legions.
"In this way, the mountain fortress in the eastern region, plus Bai Lao's garrison and Randall's mercenary troops, can reach a total of 25 legion garrisons."
"Dragon City, together with the newly recruited Goblin Legion and Dragon City recruits from Redstone, is already close to the strength of 15 legions."
"Under the leadership of Caroline, the unfallen fortress in the north has more than 25 garrisons."
"And the Western Falling Sun Fortress and the Southern Rainforest Fortress stationed by the two giants will each have a strength of 20 legions."
In the early morning, in the bright hall of the lord's mansion, Lei Xiao, surrounded by the subordinates of the main force and the subordinates of the territory commander, held a slender baton, stood in front of the huge sand table depicting the entire area of the Lengyan Kingdom, and nodded thoughtfully .
So far, the five major border fortresses bordering other countries in the Cold Flame Kingdom have all been deployed, reaching a total of 105 legions.
"It's really inconspicuous once this million-strong army is dispersed."
Lei Xiao's eyes moved, passing the five gates on the giant sand table one by one, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart.
Lei Xiao clearly understands that as long as these locations can be defended, the Kingdom of Lengyan will be impenetrable.
"However, although this number sounds huge, nearly half of them are recruits. Once a war is fought with an enemy country, they are hardly considered cannon fodder in front of the opponent's elite army."
"Especially in the middle and late stages of the coalition of fallen nobles, when they were at the end of the road, they even forcibly dragged the thin Free Farmers onto the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness was not even as good as my recruits."
Lei Xiao frowned, but immediately felt relieved.
Fortunately, in addition to this, I still have 15 merchant army regiments and 10 direct subordinate regiments in my hands to quell the final power battle, not including the recently captured fallen noble soldiers.
And Wu's hands still have 20 forces directly under the royal family, which can be mobilized at any time.
The most important thing is that the land of Lengyan Kingdom is fertile, and the grain reserves outside the North are extremely sufficient.
In addition, Xuanyue's latest development of magic wheat seeds can further greatly increase food production, so there is no need to worry about food and grass at all.
"Of course, during this process, recruits from all over the Cold Flame Kingdom are still being recruited continuously. Although they can play a limited role, they are still a force."
Lei Xiao clenched the baton in his hand, his eyes were piercing.
These new recruits will be directly distributed with the most sophisticated Tier 2 equipment, while the other veterans will be equipped with Tier 3 equipment.
After the Battle of Fort Keil, the Tier 3 equipment in Lei Xiao's warehouse was enough to equip millions of troops easily.
In order to hide his strength and not further arouse the sense of crisis in the surrounding countries, Lei Xiao naturally wouldn't be so high-profile at the beginning.
But if it really comes to a critical moment, it is not a bad idea to equip every soldier in the Cold Flame Kingdom with Tier 3 equipment.
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, the reminder to read the words suddenly sounded.
After connecting, I only heard Lin's excited voice, which was immediately transmitted through the speaker.
"My lord, my subordinates and General Benson's troops have merged with the royal army led by Mr. Wu, occupying the last city of the fallen nobles. Now the entire Lengyan Kingdom is full of my lord's phantom lord flag. Everything is under the control of the lord!"
Hearing Lin's words, the subordinates present were all excited and cheered.
After a series of massive battles and fatal crises again and again, the lord has overcome all obstacles and has become the uncrowned king of this human country!
Among them, especially Ariel, with an expression of uncontrollable joy on her fair face, she hugged Lei Xiao's arm tightly.
"Everyone, although the road ahead is still full of thorns, let's remember this moment, because our efforts and struggles have finally paid off. This is the starting point of our glory, but it will never be the end."
Lei Xiao, who was also extremely excited in his heart, slowly took a deep breath, trying to calm down the throbbing in his heart.
Starting from a small cabin in the forest, he has finally expanded his territory to the apex of power in this country!
When excited, Lei Xiao looked at the subordinates who were embracing each other like a carnival, and said with a smile: "Starting today, the territory will hold a grand celebration, this is the reward you deserve, and it will be arranged by Roger and Bai Zhi That's it, I will give a lot of gold dragons, high-level equipment, potions and other items as event rewards."
Having said this, Lei Xiao's expression became serious again, and he said solemnly: "We have come from the flames of war, and we will be invincible!"
"We have come from the flames of war, and we will be invincible!"
The cheers of the subordinates immediately resounded throughout the hall, causing the fiery atmosphere in the hall to reach its peak in an instant.
After that, Lei Xiao, who knew he was running out of time, immediately discussed with Wu through Lin and Benson about holding the triumphant ceremony.
After experiencing a series of power disputes, the king's capital has already been panicked from top to bottom, and the grass and trees are full of soldiers. The grand triumphal ceremony is undoubtedly the best way to inspire people.
Since Wu had prepared everything in advance, the conversation went very smoothly.
"Mr. Wu, let's do this. I want the nobles and people in the capital to clearly understand that the chaos is over and their king is back."
Lei Xiao quickly agreed with Wu on the time of the triumphant ceremony, and it will be at noon tomorrow, which is the hottest moment of the sun, which symbolizes the hottest victory.
"Understood, Your Excellency Keqing, after such a long period of **** storms and panic, it is time for the royal capital to usher in a real dawn."
An old and exhilarating voice quickly came from Lin's words: "Your Excellency and Princess, don't worry, leave everything to the old minister."
After closing the reading, Lei Xiao and Ariel looked at each other, and they could see the uncontrollable excitement in each other's eyes.
At the beginning, they were still guarding the corner of Kongqing Town, but now, they are only one step away from the capital!
Aside from his excitement, Lei Xiao immediately began to arrange the triumphant ceremony.
Because the Merchant Army Corps led by Lin and the Legion directly under Benson are already close at hand to the capital.
Therefore, Lei Xiao ordered the two to dispatch elite soldiers, reorganize into five elite legions in total, and follow him and Ariel to participate in the triumphant ceremony.
After all, this is the strength of 25 legions, so Lei Xiao can't bring so many soldiers into the city together, the triumphant ceremony might last for several days.
In addition, Lei Xiao will also bring all the main subordinates above Tier 4 and some Tier 3 squadrons in the territory.
These are all elite forces that symbolize strength, so it is natural to show some of them to open the eyes of the nobles and the people who participated in the triumphant ceremony.
It's worth mentioning that after Xueya and Faxia's alchemy in the past few days, Lei Xiao promoted the 6 second-tier elite squadrons in the territory to third-tier squadrons.
At the same time, Lei Xiao, whose equipment arsenal was more and more abundant, and all the squadrons in the territory were equipped with Tier 4 equipment, which further enhanced the overall strength of the territory.
At the end of the arrangement, Lei Xiao also ordered Jiang Li to deploy a teleportation network in the city closest to the capital, so that he, Ariel and others could attend the ceremony on time.
During this process, Lei Xiao also invited Caroline, Hilda, Bai Lao, the two wealthy elders who will soon become the heads of the family, and other Shanglu elders to attend the ceremony, further increasing the authority of himself and Ariel.
After deploying everything, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath.
At this point, we are waiting for tomorrow's triumphant ceremony.
When the triumphant ceremony is over, it will naturally be Ariel's coronation ceremony.
It has to be said that it is indeed a great sense of accomplishment to be able to personally send this Princess Leng Yan to the throne.
"After Ariel is crowned, she must live in the palace. However, with the help of the teleportation network, all of this will not be a problem."
"Whether it's the princess or the soon-to-be-crowned queen, everything about her is mine and nothing more."
Lei Xiao slightly raised his eyebrows, and immediately threw himself into the carnival with his subordinates.
…
The next day, at noon, the capital of King Lengyan, Lion City.
Under the shining of two brilliant suns, this majestic and huge capital, as if shrouded in holy light, stood quietly on a verdant plain.
Located at the core of the central area of Lengyan, the Lion City extends in all directions. The width of the moat alone exceeds 100 meters, and the continuous city wall is extremely towering, which is breathtaking.
It is said that when the King of Heroes established the Lion City, he invited more than ten powerhouses of the fifth-order magic system to assist him, and there was even a mysterious powerhouse from a foreign race, making this cold-flame largest metropolis unbelievable. It is said to be impenetrable.
On every wall of the Lion City, the golden lion flag representing the royal family is fluttering. There are countless figures of the royal soldiers, and pairs of eyes revealed from the helmets are sharp and vigilant, staring at the inside and outside of the city. every corner of the
On both sides of the huge eastern city gate of the capital, there are already crowds of people, even extending hundreds of meters outward, shoulder to shoulder but orderly.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the direction of the end of the road, full of uncontrollable urgency and excitement.
That's where Lei Xiao and Ariel are coming. (end of this chapter)
