Chapter 509： Lord and Princess on the Wall

"Is there another possibility for me?"

Listening to Lei Xiao's inexplicable words, Ariel raised her head again, with her drooping eyebrows, and looked at Lei Xiao with a puzzled expression: "From another world, what do you mean by this?"

"A kind of power battle that can calm down the capital, let Leng Yan return to the former strong, but also allow you to return to the capital, the possibility of reuniting with your father."

Looking directly at Ariel's confused star eyes, Lei Xiaodan smiled.

At present, there are no Leng Yan army soldiers around on the city wall where Lei Xiao and Ariel are, only a group of subordinates are on the side.

So it's a good time to talk to Ariel.

"Are you telling the truth?!"

Hearing the sound, I saw Ariel's star eyes, as bright as a gem, and she couldn't believe it.

However, this splendid 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 brothers who are squatting in the capital, her strength is not even a chestnut in the ocean.

After all, the sphere of influence of her three brothers is not only as simple as the capital and surrounding areas, but has already spread all over Leng Yan.

This huge comparison of strength is like countless giant peaks, pressing down on her, almost breathless, what else?

"Before this fortress offensive and defensive battle begins, I am afraid that even Lao Bai himself does not believe that we will win such a big victory."

With a slight smile, Lei Xiao's dark eyes moved, and his gaze was placed on the cheering Leng Yan soldiers not far away.

Then he said: "And the victory in front of me has already explained everything. It is because of your appearance that this impossible has become possible."

Having said this, Lei Xiao's eyes fell on Ariel again, and smiled: "If you didn't insist on coming to this border area, I am afraid that the Holy Night Army would have already broken these three fortresses?"

There is no doubt that Lei Xiao said this for only one purpose.

That is to make Ariel, the fifth princess of Leng Yan, realize her importance.

After all, before that, Ariel, who was forced to leave the capital, had already deeply understood the strength gap between her and the other princes, and her heart was filled with the frustration of being powerless.

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, Ariel now is like a piece of unpolished jade.

And what we have to do is to polish it into a qualified cold flame queen as soon as possible.

Moreover, in this process, the eastern area of ​​Leng Yan, and even the entire Leng Yan, will be brought under his command, so that he can accumulate strength to the maximum extent.

Then, the overall combat capability and equipment level of the entire Lengyan realm will be improved, and a solid foundation will be laid for the development of the territory.

Only in this way can Lei Xiao gain enough capital to look at other human races and nations on the continent, and even other races.

In order to continuously accumulate resources, be fully prepared for the terrible cataclysm that may come at any time.

After all, although the human races are huge, they are limited in forging, alchemy, etc., and cannot be compared with other longer-lived races.

"All in all, as Wang Xi said, my talent is likely to be the key to solving the cataclysm, and even to understand the many mysteries and truths including the blank era, and the real reason why a billion lords came here. ."

At this moment, Lei Xiao looked at Ariel, who was already moved with the twinkling stars in front of him.

As he continued to think: "Of course, Wang Xi also said 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 go on unswervingly. The unknown is scary, but I believe that even if it is a long dark night, there will definitely be a moment of dawn."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao took a deep breath and his eyes were like torches.

Next, the first thing he needs to do is naturally to perfectly subdue the arrogant Princess Leng Yan in front of him.

On the other side, after hearing Lei Xiao's encouragement just now, Ariel was still a little hesitant.

He whispered again: "However, this time, although we won a big victory, what I did was very little. Basically, it was all your credit."

"That's true."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao continued: "However, if there are things I can do, there are naturally things you can do."

After a pause, Lei Xiaodan smiled and said, "My dear fifth princess, look around you."

"Around me?"

Hearing the sound, Ariel looked around while wondering.

It was found that the surrounding city walls were filled with cheering Leng Yan army soldiers, and everyone's cheeks were filled with joyful smiles after victory, and their morale was extremely high.

"Have you seen it? If it weren't for your encouragement before the war, I am afraid that the 30,000 Cold Flame soldiers in the three fortresses would not have maintained such high morale when they faced several times more than the Holy Night Army. Bar."

I saw Lei Xiao continued to keep a smile and said again.

"Listening to what you said, there is indeed something I can do!"

Hearing this, Ariel's slender eyelashes flickered with excitement.

However, after a while, she shook her head again and said: "These things that I can do, my brothers can also do, this is not my advantage, maybe they can do better than me. It's better, otherwise, it won't get the support of so many nobles and wealthy businessmen."

"Dear Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess, I am not talking about the morale of the soldiers themselves."

Looking at Ariel's fair face, Lei Xiao smiled and said, "Although he has only a meager strength, he still stands on the front line to boost morale and fight side by side with the soldiers, it is you, not yours. Those princes."

At this time, I saw Lei Xiao aggravated 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.”

"Having said that, I understand the temperaments of the three king brothers. In any case, it is impossible for me to change them one bit."

Shaking her head helplessly, Ariel sighed softly: "What's more, I don't have the strength and capital at all."

"I've said it just now, there are things I can do, and there are things you can do."

With a slight smile, Lei Xiaodan said: "Since you can't change your brother's words, then it's okay to realize your own ideals by yourself?"

"From another world, do you mean that you are willing to help me?"

Hearing the sound, Ariel's star eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked.

Immediately afterwards, a look of disbelief appeared on her face, and she said in shock: "Your last sentence means... let me join in the power struggle? This is what you said just now. Another possibility?!"

"Not to join the power struggle, but to end it all and get it back on track."

Looking at Ariel's wide-open starry eyes, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and then said, "Dear Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess, as far as I know, in the 600-year history of the Lengyan Kingdom, there are many Is there a queen?"

"In the history of Leng Yan, there is indeed the existence of heroic queens, such as Rose King Esther..."

Muttering to herself, Ariel quickly shook her head, waved her hand and said, "But, I never thought of becoming Leng Yan's new queen."

"Now you can think about it."

With a slight smile, Lei Xiao continued: "Or, would you like to see Leng Yan crumbling or even overturning in the double vortex of power and foreign enemies?"

Looking at Ariel's somewhat bewildered starry eyes, Lei Xiao continued, "I remember you said when you were boosting morale, "This battle will decide not only the life and death of each of us, but also the life and death of each of us. Our children and grandchildren and the future of the kingdom" right? "

Speaking of which, Lei Xiao said in 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, just for a moment, Ariel lowered her eyebrows again, and said with some fingers at a loss: "However, I don't know if I can do all this well and not be ashamed of my Lengyan royal family."

"Where your heart is and where your body is, at least you have an extra protective heart than your brother."

After he finished speaking, Lei Xiao didn't say anything else, but left Ariel, who was agitated, and left temporarily with his subordinates.

Needless to say, the reason why Lei Xiao chose to show his cards before conquering the opponent.

Naturally, it was to prepare Ariel mentally and to further strengthen her determination.

Indeed, although Lei Xiao can also find a way to conquer 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 relying on her current beliefs is undoubtedly far from enough.

What Lei Xiao wanted was a strong queen, not a cowardly princess.

Therefore, it is more secure to let him make up his mind and 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.

The two were instructed to contact Guante and the other two commanders of the Mailan Town garrison as soon as possible to prepare for the next step of secret conquest work.

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao immediately contacted Dean, the commander of the Shadow Squadron in charge of intelligence collection in the border area.

First, I 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, the two shadow squadrons that had just been dispatched were in full swing to build various city intelligence bases.

Therefore, the intelligence gathering work has not yet officially started.

"I have to say that this time, thanks to that guy Ariel, I was able to break the Holy Night Army's attack. Otherwise, once the Holy Night Army breaks through the fortress, the situation will undoubtedly be more difficult."

"Therefore, the next developments on the border battlefield must be firmly in my hands."

"Before this, I have distributed 50 Invisibility Cloaks and 50 Illusion Cloaks to the two Shadow Squadrons respectively, and with the cooperation of Grand Duke Buren of Shanjing, it is naturally not a problem to do this."

Thinking of this, surrounded by all the subordinates, Lei Xiao came to the guest room of this forest-side fortress and checked the injuries of Lin, Nan Xing and Nan Yue again.

After the orange-white treatment, the three of them were basically fine.

Next, just when Lei Xiao had just instructed the servants to rest in the room for a while.

The dusty red night flashed in front of him, bowing and reporting: "Report to the lord, the subordinates have successfully completed the pursuit mission!"

"Very good, hard work."

Nodding slightly to the dragon woman in front of him, Lei Xiao asked, "How is the current situation on the battlefield?"

"Reporting to the lord, Leng Yan's cavalry has been chasing and killing to the front camp of Holy Night, and then stopped the pursuit."

I saw that Hong Ye still kept the posture of bowing and responded.

"Behind the frontier camp is a canyon area, where it is easy to set up ambushes. It seems that the Leng Yan Army should be afraid of being ambushed by the Holy Night Army."

The rough and powerful voice sounded, and the knotweed opened his mouth thoughtfully.

"As for the forward camp, it was completely destroyed when we returned!"

On the other side, Chao Yan, wearing a pointed witch hat, blinked her eyes with excitement.

"Bai Wei I hope you didn't sleep in Chaoyan's lower bunk."

Lei Xiao pouted slightly, and Lei Xiao joked for no reason, then took stock of all the subordinates around him.

At this time, except for A Ling and A Bing, they were still on standby at the mountain fortress.

Hu Zhang, Hong Ye, Ye Cang, Chao Yan, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Bai Wei, and Lin were all by his side.

As for Bert and Orange, they naturally stayed with Ariel.

After Shawn and other ten pterosaur knights completed the task of attacking the camp, Lei Xiao had ordered them to secretly hide in the surrounding mountains for emergencies.

"Everyone, this battle has been hard work."

First, after taking a sip of the fragrant tea handed over by Bai Wei, Lei Xiao said, "This time, we can achieve such a victory, and everyone present is due to the contribution."

"I am willing to die for the lord!"

Directly opposite, the subordinates immediately bowed and saluted, and responded neatly.

He waved his hand lightly, indicating that everyone needn't be more polite, and Lei Xiao said again: "When we return to the territory, I will upgrade the combat readiness items in the storage ring for everyone, and then instruct Rudy to treat everyone well."

"Thank you very much, my lord!"

Hearing the sound, a look of joy appeared on the faces of everyone present, and bowed again.

Just when Lei Xiao and others just said this.

A polite knock on the door rang out.
