Chapter 1225: The Glittering Palace and New Allegiance
"Greetings, farewells to His Royal Highness, the Prince of the Holy Lion. Thank you for saving the entire human world and the Holy Night Kingdom!"
A timid voice sounded, and the young new King of the Holy Night's legs softened, and he knelt directly in front of Lei Xiao.
This kneeling immediately caused an uproar among the densely packed princes and nobles around.
You know, as one of the seven heroes of the human world, the Holy Night Kingdom has stood on this land for a thousand years. During this period, many talents emerged, and the stars shone, and countless battles have been experienced.
In the process of war, although there were defeats, the Holy Night Kingdom has never lowered its proud head like anyone.
But now, their supreme king has put down his scepter, lowered his crown, and knelt in front of a young man from another world, which is simply despairing.
But after thinking about it, the Holy Night nobles were relieved.
The young man from another world not only withstood the attacks of the five armies of annihilation with his own strength, but also led the strong men to attack the main hall of the Holy Temple of Light, which had never fallen, with the help of the Alchemist Guild and the Mercenary Guild, and finally eradicated the disaster for the human world, and even saved the lives of everyone present among countless roots.
Such an epic and amazing feat is indeed enough to make any human monarch kneel down and praise this supreme achievement.
Thinking of this in their hearts, the princes and nobles who ruled the Holy Night Kingdom could not help but make the same action. They all prostrated themselves at Lei Xiao's feet and said in unison: "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving the entire human world and the Holy Night Kingdom!"
"It's no big deal, it's just a side job."
Lei Xiao's calm eyes swept over these princes and nobles, and finally fell on the trembling new King of Holy Night at his feet, and said calmly: "Everyone, please stand up. Not long ago, the army of the Holy Night Kingdom almost left my territory full of corpses. I can't afford this great gift from you."
After hearing Lei Xiao's meaningful words, everyone lowered their heads even lower. How dare they really raise their heads?
"Everyone, since His Royal Highness has spoken, we should not keep His Royal Highness waiting for too long."
After a long while, until Theresa's voice came to the rescue, the new King of Holy Night and the nobles stood up again, and the whole place was still dead silent.
Lei Xiao looked at the new King of Holy Night who stood up again in front of him, and a look of scrutiny flashed across his eyes.
I saw that the other party looked like a nobleman, with a handsome face with a bit of timidity and helplessness. It was indeed the same as the rumors, a weak new king without his own opinion.
"However, it was precisely because of this character that I had time to grow and did not confront the Holy Night Kingdom's annihilation army head-on when I was not strong enough."
Just when Lei Xiao was thinking of this, Theresa's introduction sounded: "Your Highness, this is the new king of my Holy Night Kingdom, His Majesty Willy."
Before Lei Xiao could speak, the new king Willy hurriedly said: "Your Highness is of a transcendent status, and his achievements are unparalleled in the human world. He is the glory of the human race and a role model that I can never reach. So you can just call me Willy without the honorific."
"Then I'll be frank."
Lei Xiao was not polite and nodded slightly and said: "Willie, although I really want to I will have a good chat with you right away, but before that, I have one more thing to do, which is to eliminate the last remnants of the source of evil. "
"I believe you all know that although the source of evil has been annihilated, some of the minions of the Black Abyss Brotherhood who once helped it to do evil still remain among you. They are all enemies of the human race and must be punished as they should be."
Lei Xiao's eyes began to become sharp, and he said coldly: "Then let's start now."
As Lei Xiao's voice fell, before everyone present could react, Xiao Jie's vast energy rose, and a shining golden barrier quickly unfolded from her palm, instantly covering the entire hall.
Including the Black Abyss Brotherhood, the minions of the Evil God's Chosen Son were all cursed to ensure that the secret would not be leaked. As Xiao Jie, who had also been cursed by the Evil God's Chosen Son, naturally knew the energy fluctuations of the Evil God's Chosen Son the most.
And this golden barrier can reappear the remaining curse power of the Evil God's Chosen Son.
As expected, the brilliant light of the golden barrier just fell on the bodies of the princes and nobles of the Holy Night, and a series of faint black air suddenly emerged from some of the nobles, just like a magic mirror.
In the blink of an eye, at least one-third of the Holy Night nobles were covered with black air, which looked shocking.
"With the army and the main nobles trapped in the Eversleeping Canyon, I didn't expect that there would be so many dark remnants here."
Theresa's eyes were gloomy, and she nodded to Lei Xiao and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for finding these black sheep who are eating from the inside out for the Holy Night Kingdom."
"You're welcome, it's just a piece of cake."
Lei Xiao frowned and responded.
In the Cold Flame Kingdom, because all the corrupt nobles were caught in one fell swoop, he only found a very small number of termites when the golden barrier was tested not long ago, and the number of Holy Night Kingdom is indeed surprising.
"Your Highness, then leave it to me."
After saying that, Teresa's eyebrows rose, and black magic chains appeared out of thin air, quickly binding the nobles shrouded in black energy on the spot, causing wailing and screaming in the hall.
Then, under Theresa's order, groups of heavily armed elite soldiers from the Moon Palace filed in and escorted all the Black Mist nobles out.
In the process, Lei Xiao noticed.
The new Holy Night King Willy in front of him was not shrouded in black mist, but his handsome face became increasingly pale, with almost no trace of blood.
"It seems that even the chosen son of the evil god thought this guy was of little use, so he didn't seduce him. But for me, this guy is the most suitable leader and subordinate candidate. After all, there is no opportunity. , the royal family is not someone who can be conquered easily."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded with satisfaction.
As long as he subdues it, arranges a few capable subordinates to assist him, and adds Theresa's assistance, the power of the Holy Night Kingdom will be firmly in his hands.
"Your Highness, you must have a lot to say to His Majesty Willy, right? The room has been prepared for you."
Teresa smiled and said to Lei Xiao: "Leave this to me. Your Highness the Prince only needs to concentrate on talking with His Majesty Willy."
"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."
Lei Xiao shrugged, then raised his eyebrows at Willy and said, "Then let's talk about the Holy Night Army in Eternal Sleep Canyon."
Looking at Lei Xiao's half-smiling expression, Willy suddenly felt so oppressed that he couldn't even speak, so he could only nod his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
As for the other Holy Night nobles who were not bewitched, they were either frightened half to death by the scene just now, or they were already impressed by Lei Xiao and did not dare to raise any objections.
Not long after, under Theresa's arrangement, Lei Xiao and Willy came to a luxurious reception room.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. It was not my idea to send troops to the Cold Flame Kingdom. I also ask Your Highness to be merciful and not arrest me too!"
As soon as the door to the reception room was closed, Willy's legs trembled all over and he was about to kneel down in front of Lei Xiao again, but the latter leaned down and helped him up.
Since he had just given the Holy Night monarchs a warning and confirmed that the other party had not been deceived, Lei Xiao no longer had to embarrass the weak new king in front of him in this private situation.
"I know all this. Your father died suddenly, and you were crowned in a hurry. Your power is weak, and there are frequent wars. You are caught between the Moon Palace and the main battle dignitaries. It must be very difficult, right?"
Lei Xiao's face was gentle and he smiled and said: "To be honest, I have to thank you for your indecision, so you didn't launch a heavy attack at the first time."
Hearing the sound, Willy was stunned for a moment, and then his shoulders couldn't stop shaking.
Just like what Lei Xiao said, for him, a young new king who was crowned in a hurry but with weak power, everything that happened during this period was really like a nightmare, making it difficult for him to settle down for a moment.
And the ministers in the court are either vying for power or having their own agendas. Who will really take his ideas into consideration? Even Theresa looked down on him at all, and the courtesy between a monarch and his ministers was just a show.
But Lei Xiao's words in front of him were like the rain after the rain. They could be said to have hit Willy's heart directly, making the new king, who had not yet overcome the pain of losing his father but was forcibly pushed to the tower of power, filled with emotion.
After all, for him, since the death of his father, no one has really cared about his life or death!
While sighing in his heart, Willy looked flattered and said with tears: "His Royal Highness, thank you for not sending troops immediately. This is the most correct choice I have ever made in my life!"
"There is no need to belittle yourself. Your road to kingship has just begun. However, the current power structure of the human world is about to undergo earth-shaking changes, and unknown disasters may come at any time. There is no time left for you to grow slowly. "
Lei Xiao's voice became solemn again, and he said bluntly: "Submit to me, and I will protect you, the Holy Night Royal Family, and the entire Holy Night Kingdom. I will let you grow up as quickly as possible and become a person in charge of your own affairs." The true king.”
At this point, Lei Xiao's tone became a little more meaningful: "This is something that even the Dark Elf Kingdom can't do. After all, what they promised is to protect the crown on your head, not yourself. , Of course, I have also communicated with Teresa about this matter."
Just like what Lei Xiao said, including these words, they are actually the result of discussions between Lei Xiao and Theresa.
"Your Highness, are you saying that not only do you not blame me, but you also want to take me under your wing and train me to become a true king?"
Hearing Lei Xiao directly tell the supreme secret of the Holy Night Royal Family, Willy was stunned at first, and then his face was full of excitement, and he said without any hesitation: "Your Highness the Prince is so kind, how can I refuse? I am willing to die. Allegiance to His Majesty the Prince!"
As the firm words fell, Willy knelt down on the ground again, but this time, his face was no longer frightened and panicked, but filled with excitement and high spirits.
"Then let's start signing the contract."
Seeing that everything was as expected, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and a shining recruitment order emerged.
It didn't take long before a familiar prompt sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Congratulations, the fourth-level one-star griffin knight Willy Griffin has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! ]
"From this moment on, you will follow my steps, leaving a strong and colorful mark in the history of the human race, and witnessing the future of the human race and even the entire world."
Lei Xiao bent down and helped Willy up, and as usual, checked the other party's attribute column.
[Name: Willy]
[Profession: Griffin Knight]
[Rank: Level 4, 1 star]
[Loyalty: 100]
[Skill 1: Roaring Thrust "Active" (Physical single attack, additional piercing effect)]
[Skill 2: Eye of the Falcon "Active" (Improve vision, resist blinding effect)]
[Skill 3: Griffin Companion "Passive" (Griffins can be tamed as mounts, and combat capabilities increase when riding griffins)]
[Skill 4: Griffin Heart "Passive" (Special ability unique to the royal bloodline of the Holy Night Kingdom, which can convert the energy in the body into a special soothing force, allowing all the surrounding griffins to overcome fear, stimulate potential, and maintain a tight charge formation)]
[Skill 5: Sword and Spear Mastery "Passive" (When using a long sword or lance, moderately increase damage)]
"It seems that this guy still has some potential, but he is just like a piece of unpolished jade and lacks polishing."
Closing the attribute bar, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
The Kingdom of Holy Night is famous for its sky knights who ride griffins as their main mounts and their exquisite alchemical bomb technology. If the scale is further expanded and this place is built into a super-large sky knight training base, it will undoubtedly further enhance the human race's aerial combat capabilities.
At the same time, he can also further magnify the characteristics and advantages of other countries, concentrate on training some special arms, and regularly hold drills and exchanges and training between commanders to achieve the purpose of mutual learning and integration. These are important means to improve the comprehensive combat power of the human race in addition to the basic hard power.
"When the human world is completely controlled, start these steps immediately."
Lei Xiao thought as he pulled his thoughts back to reality.
Now that the new king of Holy Night, Willy, has been subdued, it is time to go to the Eversleeping Canyon.
Only by bringing this army under his command can he truly control the Kingdom of Holy Night.
"Willie, let's set off now without delay. It's time to remove the illusion array of the Eversleeping Canyon."
Lei Xiao's eyes sparkled, and he said to the young new king in front of him: "Completely extinguishing the war in the human world and then gathering the power of the entire human world is our next crucial step."
"Yes, Lord!"
After signing the contract with Lei Xiao, Willy's confidence was obviously much stronger. He nodded heavily and said: "I'm afraid that most of the main war nobles trapped in the Eversleeping Canyon have been bewitched by the source of evil. These termites must be eliminated as soon as possible!"
Looking at Willy's brand new look, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and then, surrounded by the former, strode out of the door of the luxurious reception room.
