Chapter 1245 New Allegiance and the Lord's Considerations
Seeing the crowd in the square, Lei Xiao walked towards the high platform at the top under the guidance of Catherine and Louise, and further noticed.
In front of the crowd, there was not only the figure of Prince of the Spirit Staff, Vilentin, but also five other blood princes who had fought side by side with Lei Xiao.
A little further back, Lei Xiao also saw another group of familiar figures, the phantom maids who helped maintain the illusion barrier.
And the others behind them all had pale faces and dark circles under their eyes, and the fangs at the corners of their mouths were sometimes looming, which was the symbol of the blood clan.
Among them, there were not only blood clan soldiers in strict formation, but also many blood clan civilians in ordinary clothes, and the figures of men, women, old and young were all clearly visible.
"Your Highness, as you can see, all the pure blood of my blood clan is gathered here, a total of 120,610 people."
Catherine's voice was solemn, and she said to Lei Xiao with a serious face: "And there is only one reason why we are gathered here today, that is to ask Your Highness to sign a surrender contract with us. We are willing to swear in the name of the blood in our bodies, and swear to follow Your Highness until death, and are willing to be the sword in Your Highness's hand, and share the fate with Your Highness!"
After Catherine finished speaking, Louise also walked forward and said with a grin: "Human Prince, this is the case. This is the result of the joint discussion between this lady, Catherine and all the blood clans. Please don't refuse. "
"As long as you agree, all the vampires present will be your servants at your disposal, including me, of course."
At this point, Louise waved her hand and added, "But don't think wrongly. The reason why I made this decision is because you saved the lives of everyone present and won our respect and awe. It is definitely not because you have always refused to become my husband, so I am paying for you..."
After hearing what Catherine and Louise said, Lei Xiao's expression was calmer, while Ariel, Tiger Stick, Hongye and other subordinates who accompanied him all looked unbelievable.
You know, everyone knows that the arrogance of the vampires, not to mention that signing a surrender contract requires the consent of more than 99% of the individuals in the bloodline with independent thinking ability, so the difficulty can be imagined.
After all, there are more than 100,000 vampires present, and only when everyone present surrenders to Lei Xiao wholeheartedly can this step be finally achieved!
Ariel was extremely surprised, and her eyes flickered. She looked at Lei Xiao's calm face and understood the meaning of his words not long ago.
It turned out that the Lord had anticipated everything from the beginning!
In the center of the audience, just as Ariel thought, Lei Xiao, who was already standing in the middle of the platform, had an expected expression and looked at the crowd.
As long as Catherine and others swore their allegiance to him, he would undoubtedly become the real master of the human race.
"Your Highness, please don't refuse!"
Seeing that Lei Xiao did not reply immediately, Catherine's white cheeks surged with anxiety, and she added: "Your Highness, since you sacrificed yourself to repair the "Blood Feast Barrier" and saved countless people here, you have won our respect, not to mention saving everyone from the countless raging roots. "
"As our savior, we have long regarded you as the real master in our hearts. "
Catherine became more and more excited, and finally knelt on one knee and said: "So, please don't refuse, Your Highness!"
"Please don't refuse, Your Highness!"
Including Louise, more than 100,000 figures present also knelt on the ground with reverence, swearing their inner loyalty to Lei Xiao with actions.
As the uniform voices of the crowd fell, a familiar prompt sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Dear Lord, the Crimson Clan begs to sign a surrender contract with you. Do you agree?]
"Since you have chosen to surrender to me, from this moment on, everyone will be under my protection. As long as I am still standing here, this land will always have a place for you. I will lead you into glory and reach an unprecedented peak. "
Lei Xiao's steady and unquestionable voice echoed in the huge square, and he agreed to the request of the vampires in his heart.
Golden contracts floating in the air emerged out of thin air and appeared in front of every pale face, shining with brilliant and soft light.
Louise and Catherine took the lead, and without hesitation, they gathered a stream of pure blood energy on their fingertips and pressed it on the golden contract with a solemn look.
After that, whether it was the vampire princes such as Valentin, the phantom maids, or other members of the scarlet clan, they all made the same action, and there was no trace of anger in their blood-red eyes. Hesitate.
As the golden contracts that came into effect became brighter and brighter, lines of translucent text soon appeared in front of Lei Xiao like a screen.

…
As soon as the prompt sound ended, a new attribute interface popped up in front of Lei Xiao.
[Name: Crimson Tribe]
[Race: Blood Tribe]
[Submission: 100]
[Population: 120610]
"Male: 60290"
"Female: 60320"
"Level 1: 0"
"Level 2: 100270"
"Level 3: 20123"
"Level 4: 209"
"Level 5: 8"
[Number of Buildings: 20580]
"The submission level is full right away? It saves some effort."
Lei Xiao looked at the numbers on the attribute bar and raised his eyebrows slightly.
It's no wonder, after all, at the beginning, his strength was too weak.
Whether it was the half-elves such as Bai Zhi or the Snow Wolf Tribe such as Bai Wei, they all took some time to subdue them, but Catherine and Louise surrendered on their own initiative, so it's not surprising that such a result appeared.
"I already knew that the population was over six figures, and the blood race individuals were at the second level from the beginning, so there was no first level."
"As for the total number of third-level people, is it more than the size of two legions? This is already a very good proportion, far exceeding the average level of the human world."
"After all, the blood race has a long life span. Although it cannot be compared with the first-tier races such as the elves, it is also a very good existence. What's more, before I came, I had suffered several defeats."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and continued to observe on the attribute column.
"More than 200 fourth-level powerhouses are also a considerable number, and there are 8 fifth-level powerhouses?"
Lei Xiao opened the detailed list of fifth-level powerhouses and checked further.
"Louise, who is half a step away from the sixth level, Catherine and Valentin, who are at the peak of the fifth level, and the other 5 blood princes? They are all old faces who have fought side by side."
Lei Xiao closed the attribute interface and took a deep breath slowly.
At this point, following the other six monarchs, Catherine and Louise also formally swore allegiance, making all the royal power of the seven human nations in their hands.
"Everyone, please stand up. We still have a long way to go in the future. I will walk side by side with you until the end of time."
Lei Xiao bent down and helped Louise and Catherine up, and nodded to everyone present.
"I am willing to go through fire and water for the Lord!"
The neat and powerful response sounded, and it lasted for a long time in the huge palace square.
"Great, human prince, no, Lord!"
Louise squeezed into Lei Xiao's arms, her delicate face full of excitement and said: "From now on, I am the Lord's man!"
"True Ancestor, you are too rude to the Lord!"
Seeing this, Catherine looked at a loss, wanting to stop but not knowing how to start, so she had to say: "There are so many people watching."
"Tsk, don't think that I don't know, Catherine, you actually want to do this too, right?"
Louise pouted, and then reluctantly jumped off Lei Xiao.
"Okay, let's get ready, the meeting will start soon, you can go to the venue with me."
Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, and walked down the platform surrounded by his subordinates.
After waiting for a while in the most luxurious lounge of the castle, Louise and Catherine were ready to go and reappeared in front of Lei Xiao.
Seeing that it was not yet noon, Lei Xiao casually asked about some matters concerning the Iron Hand Islands.
The most critical point was about the "Blood Feast Barrier".
Lei Xiao had already known about it before.
Catherine's sister used herself as the center of the formation, and then launched the "Blood Feast Ceremony", which transformed all the residents of the country into special vampires, so that the residents obtained some vampire characteristics, such as longer lifespan, stronger physique and powerful regeneration ability.
The only drawback is that it cannot leave the coverage of the "Blood Feast Barrier".
Even though he later fully activated the "Blood Feast Barrier", allowing the human soldiers to escape from the barrier's coverage, there was still a time limit and they needed to return to the barrier regularly to recuperate.
But in any case, this obviously enhanced the soldiers' combat capabilities to a great extent.
"My subordinates know! Lord, do you want more human soldiers to be blessed by the "Blood Feast Barrier"? "
Louise's starry eyes lit up, she nodded with enlightenment and said: "Theoretically, this is indeed feasible, but there are three issues that need to be considered."
"My true ancestor is right, let me let my subordinates explain it in detail to my lord."
Catherine took over the conversation and continued: "First, this special transformation is not something that can be completed overnight. It requires at least a hundred years of precipitation. During this period, this part of the combat power cannot be moved to other places. Able to move within the barrier.”
"Secondly, the overall number of people who can convert is also limited. For example, the barrier on the Iron Hand Islands is already reaching saturation."
Catherine's voice became more solemn and she added: "As for the third, it was one of the considerations at the time, and it was based on the consideration of population growth."
"After all, the food produced here is limited. It was also blocked by the Pars Empire and the Kingdom of Grim at that time. Even if aquatic resources are added, it cannot supply an increasing population. And with the substantial increase in life span, the new The population growth will also plummet.”
After listening to Catherine's explanation, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and said thoughtfully: "Ignoring everything else, will it take at least a hundred years to complete the conversion?"
"From this point of view alone, this is something that cannot be replicated."
"After all, what I lack most now is time. Let alone a hundred years of accumulation, even if it takes a year, I'm afraid it's too late."
Having said that, Lei Xiao didn't take this matter to heart anymore.
In addition to the many restrictions mentioned above, the disadvantages of the "Blood Feast Ceremony" are also obvious. Once the core of the barrier is deliberately destroyed by the enemy, even if the dependent soldiers who cannot get supplies can persist for a while, they will eventually have no choice but to perish. This will Become a fatal weakness.
"If you think about it carefully, as long as the current resources of the Iron Hand Islands are well developed, both the vampires themselves and the dependent soldiers can still provide me with an extremely powerful combat force."
"After all, raising the level of soldiers to a certain level and pursuing quality is much more useful than blindly increasing quantity. Otherwise, if you use a high-level spell, the results can be imagined."
"Furthermore, it is extremely important to strengthen the protection of the core of the barrier."
With this in mind, Lei Xiao discussed with Catherine some plans to enhance the overall strength of the soldiers and strengthen the palace's defense measures based on his own ideas.
It wasn't until the time was almost up that the group of people returned to Ice Stone City and headed towards Glow City together.
