Chapter 752 Lord's Worries and Bai Lao's Respect

"Besides, just like what I was worried about before, the possibility that the Holy Night Kingdom, which has been coveting this area, will take advantage of this area cannot be ruled out."

Lei Xiao's brows began to furrow even more, and the drowsiness that had surged up just now subsided a bit.

Lei Xiao clearly understood that even though he already controlled a quarter of the Lengyan Kingdom, his troops were extremely limited and scattered.

Whether facing the Holy Night Kingdom, which was almost as large as Leng Yan, or the First Prince and Second Prince who still had an absolute advantage, he could still face disaster at any time.

After all, besides the three established legions of Fanyin City, Gelin City, and Luolong City, the army under his command.

There are only two independent knights left, the garrison of Lan Lengbao, the conscript army of Shanbao Fortress led by Jubai, the soldiers of Shanjing Principality, and the soldiers of Kongqing Town, Magnet Town and Mailan Town around the territory. Together with the subordinates in the territory, they cannot reach the size of three legions.

And even if they could barely make up six legions, due to the consumption of this battle and the fact that the new soldiers had not had time to replenish, they would not be able to fully exert their full strength, and the overall combat power would have to be discounted by 10 or 10%.

As for the two goblin legions commanded by Hongshi, they are currently replacing Benson in guarding Luolong City leading to the outside world, while the power of Shuiyue and Fenglong City cannot be mobilized for the time being due to the special terrain.

"The most important thing is that the vast majority of these combat forces are scattered throughout the 33 cities. Once they are all assembled, the eastern region, which has not yet been completely stabilized, will immediately fall into chaos."

"Also, what I need to defend is the Lengyan hinterland facing Wangxing City, the Holy Night Kingdom facing Shanbao Fortress, and the three fortresses outside the territory facing Luolong City.

"As long as one of these three gates falls, the opponent can drive straight in, ignite the flames of war throughout the entire area, and easily wipe out my hard-won achievements."

Looking at the pitch-black ceiling in front of him, Lei Xiao couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Controlling the eastern part of Lengyan is indeed just the beginning."

"Then again, so far, all the things I can do have been deployed, and the recruitment of new soldiers in various places is also in full swing. This is undoubtedly the fastest way to directly increase strength."

"At the same time, I have also ordered Randall to contact Donna in Red Arrow Town and start recruiting mercenaries from the entire area on a large scale."

"Through the previous small-scale experiments in Chijian Town, it can be confirmed that with the contractual constraints of the mercenary guild, the discipline of these mercenaries is still reliable. As for the combat power, it is doubtful, but it is better than nothing."

"As for the next thing, all I can do is to wait and see what happens, and then see what happens."

At the same time Lei Xiao frowned and thought.

In the hinterland of the Cold Flame Kingdom and somewhere in the Holy Night Kingdom, two armies of hundreds of thousands, or even two hundred thousand, are gathering in secret under the cover of night, and they are heading towards Lei Xiao's direction. Coming forward in a mighty way.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight entered the room, Lei Xiao, who had been tossing and turning almost all night, rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed.

"Even when the enemy is present and the territory is used as bait, my sleep quality has never been so bad. Maybe it's because I have completely gained control of the entire area, and I am too excited?"

Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, then closed his eyes and concentrated on his daily practice.

After a while, Lei Xiao felt refreshed, got out of bed, and began to wash and change clothes.

Not long after, the neatly dressed Lei Xiao stepped out of the lord's suite and walked towards the lord's office at the other end of the quaint corridor.

When he arrived at the lord's office, Lei Xiao skillfully carried out the daily affairs of recruiting the order, receiving the return crystal, and reversing the process.

It is worth mentioning that although Qin Qian and other lords are still stationed in Wangxing City, Lei Xiao has already arranged Orr to **** him in advance. The territory in the middle is naturally easy.

Therefore, this time, the matter of reverse derivation was not delayed.

"The copper and iron ingots needed to upgrade the mansion are already enough. As for the only missing fine steel ingot, after searching the whole area, how can it be enough this time?"

"In other words, after upgrading the trophies in each city, I will be able to upgrade the mansion to further expand the population and combat power!"

In addition to being overjoyed, Lei Xiao casually upgraded the potion produced by the Gelin City Alchemist Guild yesterday.

"In addition to going to various cities today to collect loot and accompany Ariel on a lecture tour, let's take down the other two alchemist guilds in this area as well."

"In this way, my daily potion output will reach a new level! This is an important part for soldiers to exert stronger combat power and reduce casualties."

As Lei Xiao thought about it, he decomposed 10 parts of many rare potion ingredients needed by Xue Ya and Fa Xia for alchemy, two types of permanent strength enhancement, and then walked out of the office.

Next, Lei Xiao had a sumptuous breakfast in the cafeteria with his subordinates.

Then, the main subordinates and commanders in the territory were assembled, and a routine meeting began.

"Today, there is still only one task for all the personnel in the territory, and that is to have a good rest."

On the throne in the hall of the mansion, Lei Xiao nodded to the commanders of the territory at the next seat, and then told Ward and Rudy: "The celebration banquet will be held on time tonight, so be sure to prepare."

"Obey! Your lord!"

All the subordinates saluted together and said in unison.

"Xueya, Fasha, these are the alchemy materials you need."

Signaling the two alchemists to come forward together, Lei Xiao handed over the large amount of rare potion ingredients that had just been decomposed to the two.

When the two returned to their original positions with great joy, Ariel took a step forward, bowed and said: "My lord, according to the results of yesterday's meeting, the design of your exclusive Zhanqi subordinate has been completed. "

After speaking, Ariel's slender hand already had a neatly folded golden flag, and it was handed over to Lei Xiao respectfully.

For Ariel, who has received Leng Yan's top elite education since she was a child and is proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, designing a flag is obviously not a difficult task.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Lei Xiao took the battle flag and nodded expectantly.

You know, this is your own flag.

The place where this flag flies is the place where you are sheltering.

And on the battlefield, as long as this flag appears, it will undoubtedly represent the most elite force in the territory he leads!

In other words, this flag can not only scare the enemy, but also bring hope to our own people!

Feeling the soft touch brought by the golden flag, Lei Xiao stood up from the throne and couldn't wait to stretch it out.

Immediately afterwards, a beautifully designed pattern was displayed in front of Lei Xiao.

In the middle of the golden flag, there is a tall and straight human-shaped shadow drawn by black, with two horns on its head and two wings on its back, which looks profound and elusive.

Only the pair of red pupils with flames on the head of the black shadow are extremely eye-catching.

However, this image is clearly the shadow of a demon, but because every line is perfect, the layout of the whole picture is just right, and because of the full artistic atmosphere, it gives people an inexplicable sense of mystery and sublime, just Like a fallen angel who fell into the mortal world.

After reading the entire banner several times, Lei Xiao nodded with great satisfaction.

This is undoubtedly a perfect fit for his newly acquired "Shadow Lord" nickname!

Seeing this scene, all the subordinates at the next position also let out admiration.

"Ariel, well done, this will be my exclusive battle flag from now on."

Lei Xiao casually touched Ariel's head, smiled slightly and said.

"Great! As long as the lord is satisfied, the subordinates will be satisfied!"

Hearing that Lei Xiao had adopted his design, Ariel's fair and delicate face was full of joy, and she quickly bowed in salute.

At this moment, Lei Xiao, who was so close to Ariel, noticed it.

On Ariel's almost flawless cheeks, despite the proper makeup, there is still a faint layer of dark circles under the eyes. It seems that the design should be very late yesterday, and then come up with such a perfect battle flag pattern.

"Go to bed early in the future."

Gently whispering something in Ariel's ear, Lei Xiao walked slowly under the throne, unfolded the flag in his hand, and solemnly said to the other subordinates in the lower position: "I declare that starting today, this The place where the battle flag is flying is my territory, and it is under my protection, and one day, I will make this flag everywhere!"

"The lord is mighty!"

Chao Yan, who was in the lower position, blinked her big eyes and blurted out first.

"The lord is mighty!"

The rest of the main subordinates and commanders also followed up excitedly: "The subordinates are willing to contribute to the lord's road of conquest!"

"Okay, everyone take your place."

Looking at the excited subordinates, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then dismissed the meeting.

Afterwards, Lei Xiao assembled ten main subordinates including Ariel, Knotweed, Hong Ye, Lian, Ersha, Ye Cang, Chao Yan, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, and Lina.

According to the predetermined plan, the next destination is naturally the Shanbao Fortress.

Just as Lei Xiao was about to leave, a crisp and clear voice sounded out of nowhere: "Lord, please wait a moment!"

In the next second, a slender figure flashed in front of Lei Xiao, it was the half-elf patriarch Jiang Li.

"Jiang Li, didn't I give everyone in the Yuebai clan a day off last night?"

Seeing a familiar face, Lei Xiao couldn't help but wondered, "Why are you here?"

"My lord, I appreciate your kindness. It's an eventful time for the territory. How can my subordinates stay out of it, even if it's only for one day?"

Jiang Li smiled and responded: "Furthermore, those subordinates of the Returning Crystal have all been remodeled, and it's time to follow the lord's instructions to build a convenient transmission network."

"Then let's go, the first stop is the mountain fortress."

Looking at Jiang Li's eager expression, Lei Xiao didn't say anything else, just nodded slightly.

At this point, with a faint wave of energy rippling out, a group of twelve people had disappeared in place in an instant under the teleportation technique of Jiangli.

It didn't take long for Lei Xiao and his party to appear in Lengyan's border area, standing in front of the mountain fortress in the center of the two peaks.

Looking up at the huge fortress exuding an unshakable aura in front of him, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

No matter how many times you have been here, the eastern gate of the Lengyan Kingdom still gives people a sense of awe.

"His Excellency, Your Excellency, Your Royal Highness, welcome to Shanbao Fortress!"

An old and deep voice sounded, and Bai Lao, who was dressed in white heavy armor, had already led a group of commanders of the fortress legion, and rushed up to meet him.

Bai Lao and others, who have already learned about the drastic changes in the entire area, clearly understand.

The young man standing in front of them is no longer a small empty city lord, but a powerful figure who controls more than 30 cities and all resources of the Lengyan Kingdom!

This kind of strong strength is enough to make everyone, including Bai Lao, stand in awe!

"Old General Bai, we meet again."

Sensing the subtle change in Bai Lao's tone, Lei Xiao smiled faintly.

Although Randall and other members of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps had left the Mountain Fortress to station in Pentium City.

But because there is a team of Shadow Squadron members as liaison officers, Lei Xiao has notified Bai Lao and others in advance before setting off, and this is the scene where Bai Lao and others greet him.

"It is undoubtedly our great honor to meet Your Excellency Ke Qing and Your Highness the Princess so soon."

Bai Lao's words were full of sincere admiration, and he nodded to Lei Xiao.

At the beginning, after learning that Kongqing Town and the territory in the forest were surrounded by new and traditional nobles respectively, Bai Lao, who was always paying attention to the situation on the battlefield, and the senior general Leng Yan under his command, were already heartbroken.

In that unsolvable desperate situation, if any one of them were to be replaced, or all of them were counted, there would be absolutely no possibility of winning!

And the guest in front of you, Your Excellency ~www.mtlnovel.com~ not only turned defeat into victory in the end, but was able to acquire such a vast entire area at an unbelievable speed!

Such a wonderful thunder technique is simply breathtaking, enough to be easily recorded in the history of the Lengyan Kingdom, and even the entire human race!

The most important thing is that Your Excellency, Ke Qing, wiped out those fallen nobles who caused disasters. This is undoubtedly a happy thing for Bai Lao and other neutral nobles who are loyal to the old king.

After all, one of the lifelong wishes of the old king was to get these fallen nobles back on track and completely remove the shackles from the free peasants.

It is a pity that because these two groups of depraved nobles are already deeply entrenched in the kingdom, even the wise and brave old king has not made substantial progress under the weight of many parties.

It is this feat that even the old king failed to achieve, but it turned into reality in the hands of this young man!

Thinking of this one after another in their hearts, Bai Lao and the others couldn't help but cast even more reverent gazes like Lei Xiao.
