#1527 - Upcoming dinner party
Hearing that Lei Xiao had something else to say, everyone sitting at the conference table calmed down and continued to listen attentively.
"Then we will naturally head to the Broken Valley Alliance. It is time to fulfill my promise to protect the King."
Lei Xiao, who was sitting at the head of the conference table, smiled faintly and said calmly.
"Your Majesty, have you found a way to restore the appearance of the Broken Valley Alliance's strong men?"
Hearing the voice, Loris's lion eyes lit up, and Sina had the same expression.
Both of them clearly understood that the strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance, led by Guardian King Gary, had always trusted Lei Xiao very much, because the former not only successfully awakened them, but also ultimately helped them complete their revenge and defeat the demons and liches.
Now I am facing two extremely powerful enemies. If the strong men of Broken Valley Alliance can also lend a helping hand, it will definitely be a very significant help!
"That's right. Just leave this matter to me. You two can go back and mobilize your troops to confront the enemy army. I will pick you up in the evening to attend the enemy's Hongmen Banquet."
Lei Xiao nodded to Loris and Xina, and responded: "Then everyone please take your seats."
After saying that, Lei Xiao dissolved the meeting and sent Loris, Sina and others back to their respective territories.
"As expected of His Majesty, you have arranged everything in an orderly manner and analyzed the matter very thoroughly."
Fei'er obviously hadn't recovered from the excitement of leaving the Glowing City. A blush spread across her fair face, and she smiled at Lei Xiao.
"But there is no doubt that these two opponents are very strong. I'm afraid that the next match will be an extremely difficult one."
Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and said to Fei'er: "I'm sorry, I was supposed to take you around for a walk, but I didn't expect to encounter such a sudden situation just after I went out."
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I was so anxious before when I was powerless. Now that I can move freely under your grace, I will naturally do my best."
Fei'er waved her hand gently and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please just give me your orders. Whether it is for Your Majesty or for the human race, I have no choice but to do it."
"Hey, human boy, I have been with you through life and death several times, but you never said sorry to me, and you didn't even keep your promise to me!"
After hearing the conversation between Lei Xiao and Fei'er, although Jasmine had not yet figured out Fei'er's identity, she still said indignantly, "You, you guy, are you forgetting the old ones when you see the new ones?"
"Little elf sister, what are you talking about? Before coming here, I saw His Majesty working hard for what he promised you."
Fei'er, the Pelican Princess, was obviously more mature and steady than Jasmine. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty also said that you are the most indispensable person in the team. If it weren't for you, where would His Majesty get such confidence? So, you are the core of the team."
"Of course. Without me, this team would be disbanded!"
Hearing Fei'er's praise, Jasmine straightened her chest again, looked at Lei Xiao and said: "Human boy, you still have some conscience. You always mention me! This time I won't bother with you!"
Seeing this scene, all our warriors couldn't help but smile. Rather than saying that Jasmine was emphasizing the importance of her existence, it would be more appropriate to say that she was vying for favor.
"Thank you for your understanding, Jasmine."
Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, and then said seriously: "Let's go to the Broken Valley Alliance immediately."
However, in the area of the original huge white city, a brand new city has sprung up. The white and majestic city walls are shining brightly under the sunlight, which undoubtedly represents new hope.
"Your Majesty, you are here!"
Old Gary and other strong men from the Broken Valley Alliance had already stood at the city gate. When they saw Lei Xiao, they immediately came forward to greet him. Although they could not see the expression on his face, they could tell from his voice that he was obviously very enthusiastic.
"I hope you are well, old leader."
Lei Xiao clasped his opponent's bony palm tightly and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that this place has changed so much in such a short time."
"If it weren't for the human Majesty who provided a large number of building blueprints and resources, how could we build such a magnificent city in such a short time?"
Old Gary's voice was full of gratitude, and he nodded heavily and said, "Your Majesty, please come in. I still have a lot of things about the layout of the city that I would like to hear your advice on!"
"You are too polite, old chief. We can talk about these things slowly later. I also have a lot to learn from you."
Lei Xiao got straight to the point and said, "I came here this time to fulfill my promise to the old leader."
"Your Majesty, is it possible that you have really found a way to restore our appearance?"
Hearing this, Old Gary spoke excitedly with an uncontrollable joy in his tone, and the other powerful men from the Broken Valley Alliance who were accompanying him were also very excited and looked at Lei Xiao expectantly.
"Yes, let's get started now."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and let Fei'er out.
"Your Majesty, leave the rest to me."
Fei'er nodded to Lei Xiao, then stepped forward and said to Old Gary and the others, "Everyone in the Broken Valley Alliance, you only need to learn a special secret method to restore your original appearance."
"To put it simply, this is somewhat similar to the summoning of a golem puppet, but it is more subtle and mysterious. It is a universal secret technique that can be used by both physical and magical masters."
"As for the specific way of energy circulation, although it is difficult for ordinary people to understand, it is simple and easy to understand for those of you who have alternative containers..."
After Fei'er's detailed explanation, Old Gary and others quickly grasped the essence of the secret technique and began to try it out.
It didn't take long before an extremely mysterious energy wave spread out and old Gary's appearance changed. His exposed form completely disappeared, and in his place appeared a burly old humanoid with a resolute face and a gray beard.
On his head stood a pair of beast ears similar to those of a bear-like monster, and on his forehead was a shiny crown that had obviously been wiped.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao nodded slightly to the accompanying Bing Lao. As the cold air rose, a crystal clear ice mirror condensed in mid-air.
"It's been a long time since I last saw you. I have finally returned to my original form!"
Old Gary looked at himself in the mirror, his burly body shaking uncontrollably with excitement. It was not because he cared so much about his appearance, but because he had finally gotten rid of his appearance that was no different from that of the undead!
While Old Gary was getting extremely excited, the other powerful warriors from the Broken Valley Alliance who were accompanying him also returned to their original appearance one after another. Among them, there were slender leopard-man warriors, burly tiger-man warriors, eagle-man warriors with retracted wings, and so on.
"Your Majesty, we will never forget your kindness!"
In great excitement, Old Gary led a group of powerful men from the Broken Valley Alliance who had recovered their appearance to kneel on the ground and paid a great salute to Lei Xiao.
"You are too polite, old leader. You have fought side by side with us and helped us overcome difficulties one after another. Compared with what you have given us, this is nothing at all."
Lei Xiao helped the other person's muscular body up and said with a smile: "This is what you deserve."
"It is undoubtedly our greatest honor to be able to meet His Majesty the Human Race!"
Old Gary became more and more excited, and said to Lei Xiao excitedly: "Your Majesty, please come into the city for a chat. This is Your Majesty's city!"
"Old leader, I also want to have a good chat with you, but with the enemy at hand, I'm sorry I can't do that."
Lei Xiao's smile revealed a hint of helplessness as he politely declined.
"Your Majesty, what happened?"
Old Gary had a puzzled look on his face, and asked, "Is it because of the mobilization of the Demi-Titans and Stone Giants? According to the scouts' report, the other side seems to be deploying some legions to our side, but we have just returned here and have not yet established a complete information network. We have not easily set foot on the other side's territory, so we cannot get more accurate information."
"It seems that the old leader already knows something. Yes, the specific situation is as follows."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and described the whole story.
"What? The half-titans and the stone giants actually mobilized all their main forces here?"
After listening to Lei Xiao's description, Old Gary's bear ears stood up straight and his face was full of disbelief.
All the strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance had the same look on their faces and began to look at each other in bewilderment.
When the Broken Valley Alliance was at its peak, it had experienced some friction with these two second-rate forces, and knew how powerful they were.
"But these two forces have been fighting for Titan's orthodoxy. Why would they suddenly make such a move?"
While being surprised, Old Gary immediately asked this question: "Is it because we just wiped out the lich together?"
"That's probably the root of it, but I think there may be other potential reasons."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and responded: "In any case, as long as we attend the other party's dinner, everything will naturally become clear."
"As expected of His Majesty, you are the human race. You know that the other party has ill intentions, but you are still fearless."
Old Gary held Lei Xiao's hand tightly again and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please take us with you. The entire Broken Valley Alliance will obey your Majesty's orders!"
After Old Gary finished speaking, the other strong men from the Broken Valley Alliance all nodded, their faces filled with fighting spirit.
"Thank you very much, see you in the evening."
After shaking hands with Old Gary, Lei Xiao bid farewell to him and returned to Ice Stone City.
Now that we have reached an agreement with the strong men from the three alliances, it is time to further strengthen our combat power.
After returning to the human territory, the first thing Lei Xiao did was to summon nine fifth-level peak powerhouses, including Nanxing, Nanyue, Chaoyan, Yecang, Sarah, Erza, Xueya, Fasha, and Gars, and distributed the magic potions for upgrading to the sixth level and various auxiliary magic potions.
Whether it is the holders of the [God's Stone] such as Nanxing, or alchemists such as Xueya, they are his most core forces and naturally need to be trained. As for Chaoyan, although she has not yet obtained the [God's Stone], she has worked hard and made great contributions, so she deserves it.
After receiving the gift from Lei Xiao, it goes without saying that the excited warriors’ shouts of gratitude resounded throughout the world and their eyes were filled with tears. To step into the hall of sixth-rank warriors is undoubtedly what everyone dreams of!
It is worth mentioning that Lei Xiao also obtained a large number of auxiliary promotion potions from Guanwang City. The most useful one among them is that it can shorten the promotion time to a considerable extent. This is undoubtedly the best thing for Lei Xiao, whose time is precious. After all, the promotion of the main subordinates means a temporary lack of combat power.
"Although Yuji, Jiang Li, and Louise are no longer useful, they are all gifted after all. I believe they will be able to advance successfully soon."
Inside the King's Hall of Lion Castle, Lei Xiao looked at the main warriors who were kneeling and leaving, and then looked at the last brocade box in his hand that exuded a strong and exotic fragrance.
The last spot to advance would naturally go to Ariel, who guarded the rear for him.
In the king's lounge, after receiving Lei Xiao's gift, the young Queen Leng Yan was not so excited, but was still immersed in the battle of Watching City described by Lei Xiao.
Ariel's eyes were shining as she stared at the lord in front of her.
Although the latter downplayed the incident and did not describe the danger in detail, Ariel still learned the whole story by asking Or and others.
Whether it was being trapped in a false fortress, finding a way through the void, or the final battle in Watch City, she was simply terrified and broke out in cold sweats.
But she couldn't show it too obviously, otherwise how could a queen who was worried all day long guard the rear for her lord?
It would be even worse if the lord were distracted by this.
"My Lord, please take good care of yourself."
Although she had thousands of words in her heart, Ariel only said this one sentence in the end.
"Don't worry, I understand."
Lei Xiao nodded heavily and touched the other person's head casually.
Naturally, he knew very well what Ariel was thinking.
After a while of tenderness, Lei Xiao did not stay for long, but returned to Bingshi City without stopping. Based on the experience gained from Guanwang City, he held a meeting with the generals of the million-strong army, explained that there would most likely be a head-on confrontation between the two opponents, and ordered the generals to be prepared.
By the time everything was deployed, it was already dusk.
"Then, it's time to try your luck at this Hongmen Banquet."
Lei Xiao's eyes were deep as he stood on the top of the magnificent city wall and looked into the distance. (End of this chapter)
