Chapter 1228: Combining Kindness and Power
After subduing Phil, Lei Xiao, as usual, first gave him a set of fifth-level equipment and magic potions, and then returned to the central army tent with his new subordinate.
Seeing Lei Xiao and Phil reappear, the generals of the Canglan Federation who were still waiting here did not dare to be negligent, and immediately knelt down and saluted: "Greetings to His Royal Highness! Greetings to the new Speaker!"
While kneeling, everyone couldn't help but recall the fierce means Lei Xiao used to wipe out the black fog borers just now. The cold and piercing eyes were like a nightmare engraved in their minds and lingering.
Among them, Seville, in particular, had a hint of worry and despair on his old face in addition to awe.
Now that the new Speaker has been established, Lei Xiao should naturally deal with him, the culprit who launched the army to destroy the country. He still remembers the desperate scene when Andre was taken away not long ago.
Although he was trapped here from the beginning and did not cause any substantial harm to the Cold Flame Kingdom, he was afraid that he would be retaliated by Lei Xiao. Not to mention becoming a prisoner, it was reasonable that he would even lose his life.
After all, he and Andre had led a small number of elite troops to attack the mountain fortress. Although they were eventually repelled by Lei Xiao, the fact that he and Andre became the chess pieces of the source of evil was unquestionable.
"No need to be polite, I am just the Holy Lion Prince of the Cold Flame Kingdom."
Just when Seville was in a state of confusion, Lei Xiao waved his hand casually and said calmly: "Next, let's proceed to the next step."
Hearing this, Seville's old face suddenly showed a touch of expected despair. It was indeed time to punish him.
However, just as old Seville closed his eyes and prepared to accept the judgment of fate, Lei Xiao's voice had already sounded in his ears: "Then, Seville will serve as the vice-chairman and assist Phil in managing the Canglan Federation."
"What?!"
Hearing Lei Xiao's words, Seville's wrinkled old face suddenly showed a trace of surprise, and he was stunned on the spot, not daring to believe his ears at all.
After a while, he came back to his senses, crawled to Lei Xiao, and said in shock: "Your Highness, you, you want me to be the vice-president?"
"Yes, Mr. Seville, there is no need to be polite, please stand up."
Lei Xiao smiled and nodded slightly, saying: "You have worked hard for decades in the Canglan Federation, conquered the humanoids, drove away the monsters, and established villages, which completely stabilized the land that was once a piece of loose sand. You are the one who knows that land best, so you are naturally qualified for this position."
"But after all, I once stood on the opposite side of Your Highness, and caused Your Highness a lot of trouble."
Sevier's old face was still Full of disbelief, the old man opened his eyes and asked: "Why does Your Highness treat me so well?"
"Because this is not for me, nor for the Cold Flame Kingdom, but for the entire human world."
Lei Xiao still maintained a faint smile and responded: "Only with the great assistance of the old gentleman can the Canglan Federation recover in the shortest time and become an extremely important force in the human world, so you are of course the best candidate."
At this point, Lei Xiao's tone softened a bit, and then said: "In any case, I hope the old gentleman will not refuse."
Hearing Lei Xiao's words, Seville's body began to tremble uncontrollably.
The young man in front of him not only did not let this old guy be punished, but gave him enough dignity, and even left him a step down at the end.
How could he not be grateful for such a kindness?
At this moment, Seville really realized it.
As the lord of the alien world, Lei Xiao was able to reach the peak of human power in a short period of time and even impressed the three neutral organizations with transcendent status.
What he relied on was not only the mysterious lord talent and the unpredictable command ability, but also the monarch's capacity that could accommodate the world!
While sighing in his heart, Seville's old face was already full of tears. He completely bowed down at Lei Xiao's feet from the inside out and made a promise of loyalty in his heart.
He lowered his old head and couldn't help but said sincerely: "Your Highness is so kind to me, how can I refuse? I am willing to assist Speaker Phil and burn my life for the human world under the protection of Your Highness!"
"Old sir, please stand up quickly. In the future, we will advance and retreat together until the end of time."
Lei Xiao lowered his body to help Seville, who was trembling, and nodded with satisfaction.
There are two main reasons why he made this decision.
First, of course, it was to completely consolidate Phil's position.
Just as I said just now, Seville has a high position in the Canglan Federation and has indeed made many contributions and achievements.
After I supported Phil to take the position, although I received the full support of the humanoid generals, the human generals were not as convinced as the former, and most of them were just afraid of me.
Although I also have ways to solve all this, my vision is no longer limited to one country. Doing everything myself will only waste more time and energy, so that it will not be worth the loss.
Therefore, in order to completely control the Canlan Federation in the most convenient way, he also needs an auxiliary key of power to completely unlock the hearts of these generals, and Sewell is undoubtedly the best candidate.
Second, in the face of the catastrophe that may come at any time and the implementation of the plan to lead the human race into the outside world, the more elite soldiers and generals under his command, the better. Even if they are just one point stronger, they are likely to be able to lever the scales of victory. important weight.
What's more, I speculate that block wars with other foreign lords may not be far away.
Under this premise, just like what I have always done, if I can use these powers that have not been eroded by the darkness for my own use, it will undoubtedly be the best thing, both controllable and practical.
"Currently, I don't have a way to obtain the fifth-level recruitment order. It is obviously impossible to directly regain Sevier, so this method of combining kindness and power is the best choice."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao's eyes moved and looked towards the other generals of the Canlan Federation.
As expected, everyone looked at him with expressions of gratitude and reverence.
"Phil, Mr. Sewell, the Canlan Federation will be left to you. I will bring the three major neutral organizations to provide you with all necessary assistance."
Lei Xiao nodded to the two people in front of him and said with a smile: "At the same time, I will order the Holy Night Kingdom to cancel all control measures and allow goods from other countries to be smoothly transported to the Canlan Federation."
"Thank you very much, Your Highness the Prince!"
Hearing this, not only Phil and Sewell, but also the other generals of the Canlan Federation looked even more grateful, and they all knelt down on the ground again.
You must know that the reason why the Canlan Federation has been at war with the Holy Night Kingdom for decades is because the Holy Night Kingdom takes advantage of its geographical advantages to control all trade routes between the Canlan Federation and other countries in order to collect high taxes from them.
After all, the Canlan Federation is located in the easternmost part of the human world, bordering only the Kingdom of Holy Night. It is often constrained by the Kingdom of Holy Night, resulting in an extreme shortage of various materials, and it is not possible to earn gold dragons from local specialty products.
It is precisely because of this geographical reason that the Canglan Federation borrowed the Holy Night Kingdom and formed an alliance with it.
Now, if trade can be restored, its importance to the Canlan Federation is self-evident!
"Everyone, get up. This is just a temporary measure in a short period of time. When my new trade method is fully implemented, you will be able to experience the products and food from all over the human world anytime and anywhere."
Lei Xiao raised his hand and said with a smile.
As for the new trade method Lei Xiao mentioned, it is naturally the lord network.
At present, with the day and night efforts of Qin Qian and other lords, it goes without saying that the lord network in all regions of the Lengyan Kingdom is fully operational.
The lord networks of the Green Kingdom, Grim Kingdom, Iron Hand Islands, and Holy Night Kingdom have also begun to build their networks.
This undoubtedly means that with the expansion of Lei Xiao's sphere of influence, it is now close to connecting the entire human world. This will be an important step for Lei Xiao to lead the comprehensive reform of the human world.
Afterwards, Lei Xiao explained to everyone some other details including the establishment of the lord network, and as usual gave some priceless equipment, magic potions and other items.
In this process, especially for Phil, who was a direct subordinate, just like Eckhart at the beginning, Lei Xiao specially gave the opponent two fifth-level alchemy puppets, the Dark Guardian, and a large number of trump cards, which were enough to stabilize his position.
Amid everyone's surprised thanks, Lei Xiao took Phil and Sewell back to the mountain fortress again.
In the dungeon of the fortress, another fifth-level strong man from the Canlan Federation was imprisoned, it was Fan Lunding, the captain of the parliamentary guard. Before that, Lei Xiao had asked Xiaojie to check, and he was also not surrounded by black mist.
The most important thing is that Lei Xiao also knew this person in detail.
Although he has a hot temper, he is upright and resolute. Like Sewell, he does not have any bad behavior. On the contrary, he has made outstanding achievements in the Canlan Federation and made many military exploits.
If such a talent can be used by himself, Lei Xiao will naturally not let him go.
"Sir Speaker?"
Deep in the deep fortress dungeon, seeing Sewell actually appearing here with Lei Xiao, Fan Lunding's face was full of surprise, pointing at Lei Xiao and saying: "Why are you with him?"
"You must not be arrogant in front of His Highness! I am no longer the Speaker. Do you know how big of a mistake we have made?"
Sevier, who was no different from a subordinate, snorted coldly and described the whole story.
"Did we actually become the pawns of the source of evil? How sad is this, and how ridiculous are our actions?"
After hearing the truth of the matter, the middle-aged strong man retreated and collapsed on the ground, with an uncontrollable look of regret on his face.
"Fan Lunding, you were once my most loyal subordinate and guard, and you have always worked diligently for the Canlan Federation."
Sewell's wrinkled old face was full of seriousness, and he said solemnly: "Now I have decided to swear allegiance to His Highness the Prince and assist the new Speaker Phil in rebuilding the Canlan Federation. Now His Highness the Prince has ignored the past grudges and not only allowed me to regain my life, but also I have not forgotten you, but if you are still stubborn, I will personally send you on your way. "
"His Royal Highness the Prince saved the human world, saved everyone including us, and also used his astonishing kindness to forgive the general's recklessness. How can the general dare to persist in his stubbornness?"
With tears of gratitude, Fan Lunding knelt down in front of Lei Xiao without any hesitation, and said sincerely: "The general is willing to swear allegiance to His Highness the Prince to the death, and is also willing to use this sinner's body to do his meager contribution to His Highness the Prince!"
"Very good, please get up."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and signaled Mr. Bai who was on standby to open the cell door.
At Sewell's suggestion, Lei Xiao also resigned from the position of Captain of the Guards of the Valentine Council and assigned him to garrison at the core fortress between the Canlan Federation and the Outer Territory, serving as a low-level commander to serve his crimes.
The latter was naturally grateful and did not dare to slack off at all.
After everything was arranged properly, Lei Xiao led everyone back to the canyon and ordered everyone to gather the army and prepare to leave here.
With the transportation of Ice Stone City, it would only take a blink of an eye to return to the Canlan Federation. Of course, before that, Lei Xiao had prepared enough food to feed the army.
As for the army of the Holy Night Kingdom, they have completed all this and returned home in advance.
"In this way, the Holy Night Kingdom and Canlan Federation are completely in my hands."
Looking at the Canglan soldiers heading towards Ice Stone City, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
At this time, the fog in the Yongmian Canyon has long since dispersed, and the bright sunshine has once again enveloped the earth, making everything shine.
"Lord Lord!"
I saw Erza and Mia, who had not seen Lei Xiao for a long time, already appearing not far away, as well as Dinah, the president of the "Mirror Witch Association" and other palace illusionists, as well as the phantom maids of the vampire clan, all with faces filled with expressions. He rushed over with reverence.
Although all of them have been supporting the "Lost Path", Lei Xiao's story still spread to everyone's ears from Bai Lao.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Lei Xiao first touched the heads of Erza and Mia, then nodded specifically to Dinah, and then said: "You have done a great job this time, trapping this menacing army of country-destroying people for me. You Everyone will receive the rewards and praise they deserve. This is an illusion action worthy of being recorded in the history of the human race. Without your efforts, the consequences would be unimaginable."
"We are willing to go through fire and water for His Highness the Prince!"
Upon hearing the sound, Dinah and others, including the phantom maids, immediately knelt down and saluted Lei Xiao, caressing her chest.
Among them, especially Dinah, the president of the "Mirror Witch Association", her fair face is full of excitement and excitement. Being able to join Lei Xiao's command is undoubtedly the most correct choice she has ever made in her life!
You know, at that time Lei Xiao was just a new prince who was beleaguered on all sides, but now, Lei Xiao has become the ruler and savior of the human world. How could she not be extremely excited as she has been immersed in fighting?
As for why even the vampire phantom maid is so respectful, it's naturally because Louise has been following Lei Xiao like a follower.
Seeing that the Supreme True Ancestor has lowered his posture and turned into a mere follower, what reason do they have not to lower their heads?
After all the illusionists were settled in Ice Stone City to rest, Lei Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
At this point, everything in Yongmian Canyon is completely over.
"The Holy Night Kingdom and Canlan Federation should send some capable generals to assist Willy and Phil, including the capable Lords of the Gods, to coordinate matters with the lords from other worlds."
After arranging all the follow-up matters properly, Lei Xiao's eyes were bright and clear.
Next, it was time to deal with the Pars Empire.
