Chapter 1246 Before the Meeting Begins
The group of people only stayed in the command hall of Ice Stone City for a moment, and a blue light flashed across the surrounding magic screens.
When the screen became clear again, a magnificent pure white city had already come into view. It was the Glowing City where the main hall of the Temple of Light was located.
"Except for this Ice Stone City, Crystal Blue City has already transported all other participating monarchs and leaders of neutral organizations to their places. Let's prepare to enter the city now."
Lei Xiao nodded to Ariel and Catherine in front of him and said, "With the cooperation of Saint Queen Sophia and others, the venue has been almost decorated."
"As you command, Lord Lord!"
The two queens caressed their chests and saluted, and arranged their entourages to prepare for departure.
Behind Ariel and Catherine, Al, Bert, Valentin and other civil servants and generals were ready to go. Of course, Louise also followed.
"Your Highness, could you please take a moment of your time?"
Just when Lei Xiao was about to leave the city, Qi Duo's rustling voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Of course, there is still some time before the meeting starts, and there is also a luncheon before the official meeting."
Lei Xiao first nodded and signaled Ariel and Catherine to go to the venue first, and then looked in the direction of the sound. Behind Chiduo, Mia and a dozen other half-elf elders also followed.
"Very good!"
Chiduo's fair cheeks immediately showed excitement, while Mia and the other half-elf elders also had the same expression.
"To be honest with you, Your Highness, I have been carefully inspecting the new fiefdoms you gave me in the past few days. Those cities are the most fertile and important places in the Lengyan Kingdom. They are even much stronger than the fiefdoms I lost before."
I saw Qi Duo regaining her composure and saying with gratitude: "But you handed these into our hands without hesitation. Even though the clan members are frightened, they all feel grateful to you!"
"it's not a big deal."
Looking at the grateful expressions of Qi Duo and others, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and responded: "I am just returning the glory that originally belonged to you to you. You all deserve this."
"No, we just did what we should do!"
Chiduo waved her hand quickly, and said with a serious look on her fair face: "From the very beginning, His Highness worked tirelessly to rescue us who were trapped in the blue barrier with no ammunition or food, not to mention Later, he saved our lives again from those deadly roots!”
"Yes, with the gift of the lord, the Zhuyue clan's overall strength has been greatly enhanced, not to mention the high-end equipment and high-end magic potions that the subordinates and others could not even think of before. The ultimate weapon!"
Mia poked her head out from behind Chi Duo and added: "With the gift of the lord, the Zhuyue clan has not only regained their lost dignity and glory, but has also reached a new height that has never been seen before!"
After Mia said this, all the half-elf elders also nodded, their old eyes shining with uncontrollable gratitude and reverence.
"These are all earned by your courage and sweat. I just make them shine even more."
Lei Xiao still maintained a smile and said seriously: "From the many battles in the north to the battle of Glow City that decided life and death, each of you has contributed a lot. It is precisely because of your efforts that I can move forward all the way. Until today."
"Your Highness is telling the truth. It is under your leadership and able to fight side by side with you that the Zhuyue clan can devote themselves wholeheartedly to every fierce battle!"
The more Chiduo spoke, the more excited she became. She couldn't help but kneel down in the tunnel and said, "I can't repay His Highness's kindness, so we want to take our relationship to a deeper level, sign a surrender contract with you, and truly become one of your subordinates. I hope your highness will make it happen!”
"I hope your highness will fulfill my wish!"
Mia and the other half-elf elders also knelt on the ground and said in unison.
Seeing this scene, Huzhang, Hongye and other subordinates who were following Lei Xiao looked at each other and smiled, and couldn't help but feel excited.
The lord has just conquered Catherine and others, and now he has conquered the half-elves of the Zhuyue clan. How can this not make people's hearts swell?
You must know that the number of half-elves in the Zhuyue clan is close to 200,000. Adding in the previous Catherine and others, this undoubtedly means that the Lord has added more than 300,000 new subordinates under his command!
"You are so sincere, how can I refuse?"
Lei Xiao helped Qi Duo and others up in turn and nodded slightly.
Regarding the Zhuyue clan's surrender, Lei Xiao had actually already expected it in his heart.
However, since quite a few members of the Zhuyue clan were scattered throughout the fiefdom, they had not bothered to mention this matter. However, Qiduo brought it up first.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, while inspecting the fiefdom, I have recalled all the clan members here. When I think of asking Your Highness to sign a contract with us, everyone is so excited that they cannot sleep. Being able to get closer to His Highness, this But it’s something that all tribesmen dream of!”
Qi Duo obviously saw Lei Xiao's doubts and quickly added.
"Then without further ado, let's get started."
As Lei Xiao walked out of the door of the command hall, he nodded slightly and said, "Today is destined to be a day worth remembering."
Not long after, Lei Xiao appeared on the high platform in the central square of Ice Stone City, and below the high platform, there were densely packed half-elves.
Every handsome face was filled with irrepressible expectations, and they looked at Lei Xiao, who was at the top, with reverence.
The young man from another world in front of them not only saved all their lives twice, helped them regain their lost dignity, but also gave them supreme glory and unprecedented power.
Facing this transcendent existence that was above the royal power, what else could they give in return for this amazing grace except wholehearted submission?
"Your Highness, please agree to our urgent request. We are willing to follow you forever until death!"
Qi Duo knelt on the ground again and put her head close to Lei Xiao's feet.
After Qi Duo finished speaking, the other hundreds of thousands of half-elves also made the same action, making the whole scene look quite spectacular, and the familiar prompt sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Dear Lord, the Moon Clan begs to sign a surrender contract with you. Do you agree? 】
"I will guide you in the direction of progress. As long as we don't stop, the road ahead will continue to extend."
Lei Xiao's steady and high-spirited voice rang out, and it lasted for a long time in the huge square.
After Lei Xiao agreed to the half-elves' request in his heart, the golden contracts suspended in the air reappeared, and the soft and brilliant light reflected the excited handsome faces.
As Qiduo and others completed the contract one after another, the constantly refreshing translucent text appeared in front of Lei Xiao again.
[Congratulations, Qiduo, the fifth-level nine-star half-elf arrow god of the Moon-Chasing Clan, has signed a surrender contract with you. The overall surrender rate reaches more than 99%, which will take effect. 】

[Congratulations, you have unlocked a new special "manufacturing" project: "Building Blueprint: Moon-Chasing Windmill"! ]
…
"Did you complete it successfully?"
When the translucent text on the screen gradually dissipated, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and a new attribute interface popped up.
[Name: Moon-Chasing Clan]
[Race: Half-Elf]
[Submission: 100]
[Population: 192350]
"Male: 96160"
"Female: 96190"
"First level: 35005"
"Second level: 152251"
"Third level: 5001"
"Fourth level: 92"
"Fifth level: 1"
[Number of buildings: 235]
"Like the Scarlet Clan just now, is the submission level also directly 100?"
Lei Xiao's eyes wandered over the attribute interface, muttering to himself in his heart.
"As for why the number of second-level people is so much more than that of first-level people, it is the result of my careful training."
"Not only that, including third-level and fourth-level people, I have invested a lot of training resources to finally reach this scale. Needless to say, the fifth-level strongman is Qiduo, the clan leader."
"Although the lifespan of half-elves is several times that of humans, it is not as good as that of blood races. In addition, the Moon-Chasing Clan has been displaced for a long time, and has fought many life-and-death battles with other barbaric alien races during this period. It is not surprising that the overall strength is inferior to the latter."
"As for the scarcity of buildings, it is because the half-elves have been living in Bingshi City before, and some of them have moved to the fiefdom recently, which is very normal."
After closing the attribute bar, Lei Xiao's eyes were like torches. He lowered his body to help Qiduo up, and raised his hand to signal other half-elves to stand up.
It is certain that as long as he carefully cultivates himself, it will be easy for the Moon-Chasing Clan to continue to advance triumphantly.
After that, Lei Xiao encouraged the half-elves a few more words, and in the deafening cheers and responses, he walked down the platform and flew towards the city gate.
"It's almost time, and it's time to go to the Glowing City to attend the meeting."
Just as Lei Xiao subdued the Moon-Chasing Clan, in the Glowing City not far away, there was a different scene.
This originally desolate city has been completely renewed, and a large number of dilapidated buildings covered by roots have disappeared, replaced by brand new buildings.
Not only that, even the originally messy roads and other infrastructure such as square parks have been repaired, making the whole city once again filled with a long-lost sacredness and peace.
Under Lei Xiao's arrangement, since Sofia hosted this extremely important human race world conference, the city of Glory was even more decorated and heavily guarded, creating a lively but solemn atmosphere.
In the banquet hall of the main hall of the Guangming Temple in the inner city of Glow City, there was an even busier scene.
I saw that the spacious and bright banquet hall was resplendent. The simple elven wood rectangular tables were covered with white tablecloths with gold edges. On top of the tablecloths, there were plates after plates of mouth-watering delicacies. Delicious food.
Hundreds of well-dressed maids were dragging dinner plates back and forth and were busy in the banquet hall, making final preparations to welcome the monarchs and high-ranking officials from various countries.
"Beatrice, have you heard? This time all the monarchs of the seven countries will really come here!"
A short-haired maid with exquisite makeup blinked her shining eyes, carefully placed the champagne bucket on the dining table, and said excitedly to the long-haired maid beside her: "Thank you to the Holy Light! I can finally see the most beautiful thing in my heart." The most dignified Queen!”
"Barbara, you're too loud!"
The long-haired maid Beatrice quickly made a "shush" gesture, but she could not conceal her inner excitement and responded: "You mean Her Majesty Ariel, the Queen of Cold Flames, right?"
"Her Majesty Ariel is the eldest among the eldest ladies. I heard that every move she makes is extremely elegant. She is the most perfect lady! Her beautiful face makes all flowers eclipse. It is really exciting!"
At this point, Beatrice's fair face was flooded with anticipation, and she said excitedly: "But Her Majesty Queen Cecilia will also come, right? Don't you think Her Majesty the Queen is more attractive when she is galloping on the battlefield? By the way, there is also the Scarlet Queen Catherine, who is said to be an extraordinary strong person!"
After hearing the conversation between the two, several other young maids around them also came over, their faces full of expectations.
"Anyway, Her Majesty Ariel is the most perfect queen in my mind."
The short-haired maid Barbara raised her eyebrows slightly, and then stars appeared in her eyes, and she blurted out: "What's more important is that the Lord will also come! It is said that the Lord summoned the Seven Kings of the Human Race Woolen cloth!"
"You mean the great Holy Lion Prince!!"
Beatrice also immediately became energetic, and her delicate face was full of longing as she said: "As long as I can see that gentleman, I will have no regrets in this life! I hope the head maid will not transfer me to the kitchen later. "
"Hey, I'm really ignorant. Last time at His Majesty Lawrence's coronation ceremony, I was lucky enough to see the true face of His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince!"
Barbara looked extremely proud and showed off: "I still remember that scene fresh! No, to be more precise, I will never forget it in this life!"
As soon as Barbara said this, the other maids around her immediately gathered around and began to chatter about specific details.
"Bragging is not the behavior of a lady, so why don't you tell me, what is the difference between His Highness's true appearance and the magic portrait we have collected?"
Beatrice put her hands on her hips, obviously not believing what the other person said.
"I'm not bragging! I was just a little further away and didn't see clearly..."
Before Barbara could finish her words, a slender figure exuding an impressive aura had already appeared behind her.
