Chapter 747： Lord's Battle Banner

"Ariel, do you want to talk about the fallen nobles guarding the mountain fortress?"

Lei Xiao had obviously guessed what little princess Leng Yan was thinking, and said with a faint smile.

"Return to the lord, this is exactly what the subordinates are worried about."

Ariel gently put down the teapot, and responded with frowned eyebrows: "There are more than 13,000 fallen nobles guarding the mountain fortress. Not only are they well-equipped and well-trained, but they have also experienced many tragic border battles not long ago. It is undoubtedly much stronger than the ordinary garrison."

"The analysis is correct. To a certain extent, the combat effectiveness of this part of the defenders is already comparable to that of the surrendered troops of the three legions."

Lei Xiao stood up from the throne, and while moving his muscles freely, he smiled and said, "Ariel, if it were you, what would you do?"

"My lord, my subordinate's approach is to allow the fallen noble defenders of the mountain fortress to go back to visit their relatives in batches after the surrender of the three legions has surrendered, and use this as an opportunity to subdue them."

Ariel frowned and thought for a moment, then responded: "It is conceivable that these soldiers have been stationed in the mountain fortress for a period of time, and have gone through many bitter battles. They must be homesick. We only need to tell them that they can return home. Would be grateful."

After a pause, Ariel added: "After returning home, their family members have already stood by our side, and the result is self-evident."

"His Royal Highness is right."

The Marquis of Rose's elegant echo sounded: "These fallen noble defenders who were recruited all went out in accordance with the royal family's order."

"In theory, Her Royal Highness, who is a member of the royal family and has the right to inherit the throne, has absolute jurisdiction over them. It is completely reasonable to allow them to return home."

"Moreover, they also know that the mountain fortress is the eastern gate of the Cold Flame Kingdom, which is of great significance. Naturally, they will not slack off at will, otherwise their hometown will be the first to suffer."

"The most important thing is that when the mountain fortress was in crisis, their city lords chose to stand by and treat them as abandoned children."

"Only the well-planned lord and the brave princess stepped forward, regardless of their own safety, and saved them in the hands of the Holy Night Army, which has an overwhelming advantage in both number and combat power."

Only the Marquis of Rose smiled gracefully, and continued to talk eloquently: "Under the trade-offs, they are easier to subdue than the surrendered troops of the three legions."

"Perfect analysis."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and said to the two Kingdom generals on the other side of the conversation: "Bert, Jubai, what do you two think?"

As the kingdom's generals who have experienced many battles, Burt and Jubai are undoubtedly the people who understand the psychology of the soldiers best.

"Return to the lord, and the subordinates second."

Bert's old voice came over first: "During the offensive and defensive battle of the mountain fortress, the subordinates have already noticed that the defenders of the fallen nobles were all disappointed with their respective city lords, and instead looked towards the lord and the princess. Incredibly adored."

"My lord, my subordinates also agree with Her Royal Highness's approach."

The orange-white sassy and crisp voice rang out later: "However, in order to prevent a certain prince's spy from instigating it, I suggest that Her Royal Highness Princess go there in person to stabilize these fallen noble soldiers."

"Just what I want."

Lei Xiao snapped his fingers, nodded to Ariel who was standing beside him and said, "Then let's make the Mountain Fortress the first stop of the lecture tour tomorrow, and I will also discuss with Bai Lao about the Mountain Fortress." defense work."

"Obey! Please rest assured, my lord!"

Ariel bowed and saluted, confidently said: "Leave everything to the subordinates."

"I look forward to your excellent performance."

Lei Xiao nodded to Ariel, and concluded: "Okay, let's come to an end for the time being to discuss matters concerning the surrender of fallen nobles and the recruitment of defenders."

"By the way, I have one last thing to discuss with you all."

Lei Xiao seemed to hear something, and then he said, "That's about me, Princess Keqing, and Ariel's battle flag, since this place is completely under my control, it's natural to fly my own flag. "

"Hey, my lord, my subordinates have already thought about this matter."

Benson gave a strange laugh, and said impatiently: "Needless to say, the flag of Her Majesty the Princess, since it represents the authority of the royal family, it only needs to make a slight change on the royal family's crest of the cold flame holy lion. The usual practice of King Cold Flame."

I only heard Benson talking more and more vigorously, and he continued: "As for the battle flag representing the lord, it needs to be carefully planned. The suggestion of the subordinate is the bone flag with a red background, which will undoubtedly make the enemy see If you hear the news, you will be terrified!"

"Your Excellency Benson's suggestion about Her Royal Highness's battle flag is very reasonable, but the battle flag representing the lord should be more majestic, and the bone flag is almost synonymous with necromancers and pirates, it is too notorious. "

Orr's clear and steady voice then rang out: "My lord, this subordinate thinks that the flying dragon flag can be used to represent the authority of your lord!"

"I don't think so. Throughout the ages, most of the people represented by the Dragon Battle Banner are reckless people who advocate strength. This obviously does not match the lord who is strategizing."

The voice of Marquis Rose's objection came from the words immediately: "According to my subordinates, only the nobility and elegance of the Battle of Roses flag can perfectly bring out the lord's inner self!"

"Dear Your Excellency Double Flower, roses are just your hobby, right? How can you use flowers to represent the king?"

Bert's helpless old voice also came to Lei Xiao's ears: "My lord, although I haven't made up my mind yet, my subordinates think that we must at least find a powerful, frightening, yet lethal person." Only the unpredictable image of the battle flag can perfectly interpret the majesty of the lord."

"I agree with Sir Burt's words, but the words of other ministers are also correct."

Ariel nodded thoughtfully, fixed her eyebrows and said: "After all, it is too difficult to find a banner that fits the demeanor of the lord."

"Yes, yes, what kind of battle flag can match the Lord Lord?"

Xuanyue's perplexed crisp voice rang out: "I feel that no matter which one it is, it can't fully explain everything about the lord."

"You don't need to be so formal, the battle flag is just a symbol, I don't pay much attention to it."

Hearing the heated and solemn discussions among his subordinates, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and said, "Anything is fine."

In fact, Lei Xiao originally wanted to find a lighter topic to adjust the emotions of his subordinates after discussing the serious topic of surrendering troops.

Unexpectedly, it turned into a more serious topic.

"My lord, this must not be done casually."

Ariel's crisp voice of justice and stern words sounded beside Lei Xiao: "The battle flag is the symbol of the lord, and it is also the spiritual pillar of our soldiers. It is something that needs to be guarded desperately. As long as the lord's war flag The flag is still fluttering, and the soldiers will never take a step back!"

"It makes sense."

After waving his hand to signal Ai Lier not to get excited, Lei Xiao curled his lips and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, we must discuss the best way."

After Lei Xiao finished speaking, all the subordinates responded, and the discussion began in full swing.

Among them, there are not only Orr and the Marquis of Rose who quoted scriptures and spoke eloquently, but also Benson, who only thinks about how to intimidate the enemy, and Xuanyue's various imaginative existences, so that all kinds of ideas , came out in an endless stream.

Then it was denied one by one by Bert, Jubai, Tran, Ed, Tina, Ryan and other relatively normal subordinates, just like a serious debate.

In order to brainstorm ideas, Lei Xiao gathered the main subordinates and the main commanders of the territory who were recuperating, and joined in this increasingly large-scale discussion.

"By the way, I suddenly had a good idea!"

After about an hour or so, Ariel's starry eyes lit up, and her red lips parted slightly: "After this battle is over, remember that the lord has a new nickname, called the Shadow Lord, right?"

"His Royal Highness is right."

Benson's response came from the words immediately: "As far as I know, there are two main reasons why the lord got such a domineering nickname."

"Firstly, it is because our territory is located in the Shadow Forest, and the lord is a lord from another world who has descended. That's why we are called the Lord of Shadows."

"Secondly, it's because the lord's attack must be a killer move, which made those fallen nobles dizzy, like the shadow of a demon, always shrouded their heads, making everyone frightened, which just fits the phantom lord's plan. The nickname spread widely among the enemy's camp."

Speaking of this, Benson's words were full of envy and reverence, and he couldn't help saying: "As expected of the lord, even his nickname is a hundred times better than his subordinate's head-crushing madman, hehe."

"It is indeed a very impressive title."

Xuanyue's crisp voice sounded, and she echoed, "Not only does it sound very domineering, but it's also extremely mysterious. Most importantly, it can also make the enemy frightened."

"If that's the case, how about using the "Shadow Lord" as the theme of the Lord Lord's battle flag? "

Ariel smiled slightly, and suggested: "I think the black shadow of the devil, coupled with the gold that symbolizes dignity, is simply perfect!"

"As expected of Her Royal Highness, the old minister agrees with both hands."

Burt's old voice came out, agreeing.

"The subject also agrees! Her Royal Highness has really grown a lot."

The elegant voice of Marquis Rose followed.

Immediately afterwards, other subordinates who were present and read the words also echoed one after another, obviously they all agreed with this proposal very much.

"Does it belong to my phantom battle flag? It's interesting."

Lei Xiao also nodded with satisfaction, and agreed: "Then it's settled. As for the specific design work, I will leave it to Ariel."

"Obey! Your lord!"

Hearing that Lei Xiao accepted her suggestion, Ariel's starry eyes were filled with joy, she nodded repeatedly and said, "Leave everything to my subordinates!"

Then, Lei Xiao led his subordinates to decide on the style of Ariel's exclusive battle flag, that is, a small golden princess crown was added on the head of the Lengyan Holy Lion, and a flash of light was added beside it, representing The light spell that Ariel is good at.

So far, the matter of designing the battle flag has also come to an end.

"Okay, let's end this meeting. All cities maintain the highest alert. If there is any emergency, report to me immediately."

Lei Xiao waved his hand, and said to the reader: "As for the trusted managers of the cities who did not attend the meeting, the members of the Shadow Squadron will notify them on their behalf."

"Obey! Your lord!"

The uniform response of all the subordinates rang out.

After the meeting was over, Lei Xiao just wanted to go upstairs to rest when Xue Ya and Fa Xia greeted him.

"My lord, after two days of hard work, the two subordinates have successfully refined a third-order potion!"

I saw Xueya and Faxia's faces were full of excitement, and they bowed to Lei Xiao together in salute.

After speaking, the two of them handed a small brocade box respectfully to Lei Xiao.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Looking at the two territorial alchemists whose faces were filled with excitement, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows as he took the brocade box.

In the past few days, I have devoted all my energy to dealing with the war and post-war affairs, but I have neglected the matter of refining potions.

"Since yesterday morning, the war in the territory has come to an end. Presumably the two of them started refining at that time?"

Lei Xiao looked at the Shuangyue Condensation Pill and the Star Pattern Magic Pill in his hands, and nodded with satisfaction.

"During the offensive and defensive battle of the territory and the subsequent offensive and defensive battle of Kongqing Town, the third-tier half-elven wolf cavalry squadron played a great role."

"Not only did a large number of traditional aristocratic spies be eliminated, so that the other party hardly obtained any useful information, but they also collectively beheaded the commanders at all levels of the traditional aristocrats who surrounded the territory at the first moment of the counterattack. UU Reading It made the opponent's position chaotic and laid a solid foundation for victory."

"And these two potions that have just begun to be refined will undoubtedly make the territory have one or two more teams of third-tier powerhouses, or one or two fourth-tier powerhouses!"

In addition to being overjoyed, Lei Xiao seemed to have remembered something, and frowned slightly.

"By the way, I only obtained two refining materials for the two types of potions, and these two are already the product of Xueya and Fasha's second alchemy."

"In other words, if there is no quantitative change in this upgrade, and then part of it is broken down, then I have to start collecting these extremely rare alchemy materials again."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao did not hesitate, and decisively started the upgrade.
