Chapter 557： Allegiance of the Marquis of Rose

Realizing this, Marquis Rose's mouth opened wide, causing a huge wave in his heart in an instant.

Before that, when he saw Lei Xiao with his own eyes, and there was indeed a fifth-order strong man with knotweed by his side, although Marquis Rose seemed calm on the surface, his heart was already touched.

You must know that even the three princes who fought openly and secretly inside and outside the capital, only the eldest prince has the support of the white knight!

This undoubtedly means that, at least in terms of top combat power, Her Royal Highness is indeed qualified to compete with the three princes!

"It is worth mentioning that, as the name suggests, the White Knight is a fifth-order powerhouse who strictly abides by the spirit of chivalry. Although his strength is enormous, he rarely participates in the intrigue between the three princes."

While shocked in his heart, the Marquis of Rose lightly fingered the orchid, and fell into contemplation again.

"It is said that even the ruthless eldest prince has refused to carry out some dark assassination orders personally issued, and only loyally guards the integrity of the eldest prince."

"Therefore, the eldest prince, who has received the support of most of the traditional nobles, has not achieved an absolutely overwhelming advantage even though he has the allegiance of the fifth-order powerhouse of the White Knight."

"After all, in the past two or three hundred years, due to complex reasons such as conflict of interest and conflict of ideas, Leng Yan's new aristocrats, who have been inconsistent with Leng Yan's traditional aristocrats, have gradually formed an extremely terrifying scale. The strong and wealthy, fully support the second prince."

"As for the fourth prince who claims to be only supported by wealthy businessmen, he is still very strong. This undoubtedly means that there is clearly a powerful mysterious force at work behind him."

Thinking of this, Marquis Rose pulled his thoughts back to reality again, and looked at Lei Xiao with reverence.

And now, right in front of him, Her Royal Highness, the weakest and most powerful princess, after receiving the full support of His Excellency Ke Qing, already has two monstrous fifth-rank powerhouses at the national level!

While his mind was agitated, Marquis Rose, whose rough face was flushed red, continued to think.

"However, although I don't know the origin of the horror of this young and mysterious Your Excellency Ke Qing, if there are only two fifth-order powerhouses, it is naturally not enough. Fighting is completely different."

"You must know that the power of the other three princes has already spread all over Leng Yan, both openly and secretly, and each prince holds at least hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of heavy soldiers."

"Once the curtain of war is opened, even if the strength of two fifth-order powerhouses is strong, one person can contain or even destroy an army of ten thousand people, but the other armies can still easily take advantage of this time to completely destroy Kongqing Town. Razed to the ground."

"All in all, the strength of the fifth-order powerhouse, although it can be called the ceiling of the human race's combat power, can almost instantly kill any powerhouse below the fourth-order, but it does not mean that it is invincible. Once the energy in the body is exhausted, it is naturally the end of the hero. It's time."

"As a result, the wars of the past dynasties have shown that in most cases, what the monstrous fifth-order powerhouses play is not directly put into the battlefield as combat power, but used as an excellent tactical card. At the critical position and moment, give the opponent a thunderous fatal blow."

Thinking of this, Marquis Rose's eyes lit up, obviously realizing something.

"It's no wonder that on the frontier battlefield, His Excellency Keqing defeated the three main army and five bad army of the Holy Night Army with only one main army and two bad army with low morale..."

"It is conceivable that Your Excellency Ke Qing obviously used these two as the fifth-order powerhouses of the trump card, used them to the extreme, and adopted some other unexpected and powerful means, and finally achieved such a great victory!"

Looking at Lei Xiao excitedly, Marquis Rose sighed in his heart: "I remember a general who experienced hundreds of battles, once said that the most difficult thing in this world is to guess the opponent's true intentions on the battlefield. "

"And on the ever-changing battlefield, Your Excellency Ke Qing is still able to strategize against the very famous Red Devil, the famous general of the Holy Night Moon Palace, so that he has achieved such a great victory. It can be seen that Your Excellency Ke Qing is not only in strength. It's very low-key and hidden."

Just as the Marquis Rose was filled with emotion.

On the other side, looking at Marquis Rose, who was holding an orchid finger, Lei Xiao shivered involuntarily, and instantly felt his goosebumps fall to the ground.

"I think I finally realized clearly that there is no reason why Ariel can't do anything about her."

Thinking of this without knowing whether to laugh or cry, Lei Xiao regained his energy, and then said to the waiting person in front of him, "Okay, Hong Ye, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Don't worry, my lord, your subordinates will definitely clean up this place."

I saw Hong Ye bowing slightly, smiling at Lei Xiao, and the flame in his hand rose violently again.

"Your Excellency the strong woman, please pay attention to the other wine barrels that are still intact when you destroy that abominable slime..."

Immediately afterwards, Marquis Rose returned to God and followed carefully.

On the other side, after hearing Marquis Rose's order, Hong Ye had no choice but to frown on the Lord's face and nodded before saying, "Don't worry, I have my own measure."

"Then let's get out of here first."

Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao immediately took his own steps and walked towards the passageway where he had just come.

In this way, except for the red night that is ready to go.

Under the guidance of Marquis Rose, Lei Xiao and his party returned to the vast wine cellar hall just now.

"Speaking of which, according to Hong Ye, this kind of devouring slime was extinct in the blank era, and it was a prince's force who put this terrible beast here... How did they find it? , this kind of extinct beast that has disappeared in the long river of history?"

Thinking of this in confusion, staring at Lei Xiao who was standing in front of the neat rows of oak barrels, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

In any case, it can be seen from this matter.

The power of the three princes is obviously much more inscrutable than he had previously estimated.

"Forget it, now is not the time to think about this, let's find a way to bring this Marquis Rose under his command as soon as possible, to be able to get this knowledgeable Lan Lengbao City Lord, no matter from which aspect, it will have a lot of impact on me. s help."

"By the way, I don't have any idle Tier 4 Recruitment Tokens at the moment. I only have ten Tier 2 Recruitment Tokens that I have accumulated in the past two days. Let's upgrade them first."

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao immediately began to upgrade.

Immediately afterwards, a series of familiar prompting sounds rang in Lei Xiao's ears.

【Congratulations, your upgrade is! 】

[Congratulations, your upgrade is 105! 】

...

【Congratulations, your upgrade is! 】

...

"Sure enough, I got another Tier 4 recruitment order!"

After listening to the notification sound, Lei Xiao's face could not help showing a hint of joy, and immediately began to take stock of it secretly.

After some inspection, Lei Xiao found out.

He has obtained a total of 1 Tier 4 Recruitment Order, 4 Tier 3 Recruitment Orders, and 530 Tier 2 Recruitment Orders.

"At the moment, with the newly acquired ones, I have more than 2,800 Tier 1 Recruitment Orders, 570 Tier 2 Recruitment Orders, 6 Tier 3 Recruitment Orders, and 1 Tier 4 Recruitment Order? Not bad, not bad, take the Marquis of Rose. preparations are complete.”

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's eyes fell on Marquis Rose, who still had a sad and bitter face, and asked: "Your Excellency City Lord, which prince's messenger do you think put this slime? "

"Your Excellency Hui Keqing, according to the analysis below, the initial size of this swallowing slime should be smaller than that of ordinary slimes. According to the memory below, these three waves of messengers did not bring any suspicious items into the This underground wine cellar, the biggest possibility, is directly hidden in the clothes."

Nodding to Lei Xiao, Marquis Rose pondered: "From the perspective of time, the envoys from the eldest prince's faction came the earliest, a month ago, and the last wave of envoys came a week ago.

As a result, the suspicion of the eldest prince's faction can almost be ruled out, because when he brought the last wave of messengers in, he didn't find any clues. "

"That's right, although I don't know how long it took for the swallowing slime to grow into the size it is today, but it can't be a month ago, otherwise, when Shuanghuaqing entered for the last time, there must be will notice."

Nodding slightly, Ariel said thoughtfully.

"His Royal Highness said that the second prince and the messenger of the fourth prince were only three days apart. Moreover, when the last wave of the messengers of the fourth prince arrived, they only stayed in the second district of Fine Wine for a while. I didn't visit carefully, so my servant didn't pay attention to the situation in the depths of the wine cellar."

After nodding his head, the Marquis of Rose seemed to remember the missing rose again, and while scanning the ground, he added: "As for the second prince's messenger, he was halfway around in the second area of ​​fine wine. Circle, the most suspicious.

However, although the envoys of the fourth princes only stayed for a short time, one of them has been chatting with his servants. Now that he thinks about it, it is possible that he did it deliberately to distract the attention of his servants. "

"So that's the case. It seems that the suspicion of the second prince and the fourth prince's messengers cannot be ruled out. However, I think there is a third possibility."

Gently rubbing his chin, Lei Xiao pondered: "That is, among the envoys of the second and fourth princes, there is actually a team that the eldest prince sent people to pretend to be, in order to get rid of you, of course.

Moreover, the shrewdness of this move is that if you miss, you can transfer your hatred to the other two princes. "

"This……"

Hearing Lei Xiao's words, Marquis Rose was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became enlightened, nodded and said, "Your Excellency Ke Qing is right, from the point of view of the eldest prince's seemingly righteous and dignified, but in fact insidious and cunning character, this possibility It's really not small!"

After speaking, Marquis Rose involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of spit, and then muttered to himself: "I originally thought that without the participation of the eldest prince, the pressure of the lower class would be less, but in this way, the lower prince has already been taken over by all the three princes. Are you watching?"

"If that's the case, what will the Lord of the City do next?"

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao continued: "It is conceivable that if the opponent fails this time, he will not give up. I am afraid that the next time we will usher in a more violent storm."

"Your Excellency Ke Qing is right."

Involuntarily sighed, Marquis Rose frowned and said: "Originally, I planned to grit my teeth and not get involved in this power struggle, but from the current situation, it is precisely because of this stupid decision that let me The lives of the servants, and even the foundation of the entire family, were almost destroyed."

After he finished speaking, Marquis Rose looked at Lei Xiao's indifferent face, and couldn't help but be filled with thoughts.

Just as he thought before, compared to the other three waves not long ago, the prince messengers from the capital.

The Lord Keqing and Her Royal Highness in front of them both had the same goal of winning over them, but their sincerity and attitude were completely different from the arrogant and unreasonable messengers before.

Even at his own risk, he helped himself to solve this deadly crisis.

Thinking of this, Marquis Rose, while feeling grateful, first bit his big lip, pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind, and said tentatively to Lei Xiao: "Your Excellency Keqing, you and the princess are the first Does the purpose of coming here count?"

"Of course, if someone like the city master joins, it would be better."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao smiled lightly.

"Great!"

Hearing the sound, Marquis Rose first nodded to Lei Xiao, and then came to Ariel, and wanted to give a big gift.

However, before he could make a move, Ariel waved her hand quickly, and then said, "Shuanghuaqing, the person you want to be truly loyal to is not me, but my master."

After all, Ariel bowed to Lei Xiao and saluted, and then stood obediently to the side the master of Her Royal Highness? ! Your Excellency Keqing, who are you? ! "

Seeing this scene, the Marquis Rose couldn't believe his eyes, and was stunned on the spot, looking dumbfounded.

"Ariel, tell this astonished city lord all about me."

Nodding to Princess Leng Yan, Lei Xiao still kept a faint smile.

Immediately afterwards, Ariel briefly described to Marquis Rose about Lei Xiao's identity as the lord of the other world, the matter of preparing to support herself as the Queen of Cold Flame, and the terrifying cataclysm that may come at any time.

"So that's the case. What I've seen is just a trivial power struggle in front of me, and what the Lord is watching is the terrifying cataclysm that is about to take place in the distance and will sweep the entire continent. The gap here is simply It's hard to describe in words..."

"But it is such a big man that even Her Royal Highness can conquer, but he is willing to come to this underground wine cellar at the risk of encountering unknown monsters for my insignificant small city owner..."

Thinking of this, the Marquis Rose did not hesitate, and immediately knelt down in front of Lei Xiao, and said sincerely: "My subordinate, Shuanghua Oak, is willing to swear allegiance to the Lord!"
