Chapter 1250 The Meeting Begins
In an elegantly decorated yet magnificent ancient hall, Lei Xiao sat at the head of the conference table, his eyes swept over the nine figures at the bottom one by one.
The two sitting in the front were Gray Old Man from the Mercenary Guild and Joniel from the Alchemist Guild, followed by Sophia who was in charge of the Temple of Light and Ariel, the Queen of Cold Flame.
Further back, it was Queen Cecilia of Pars, Queen Catherine of Iron Hand, King Eckhart of Verdant, King Willy of Holy Night, Saint King Lawrence of Grimm, and Speaker Phil of Canglan.
Behind each leader and king, there were large emblems and flags representing their own characteristics.
Whether it was the sword and shield emblem of the Mercenary Guild, the Libra emblem of the Alchemist Guild, the Holy Light emblem of the Temple of Light, or the lion emblem of the Cold Flame Kingdom, the black dragon emblem of the Pars Empire, or the eagle emblem of the Verdant Kingdom, they were all lifelike, adding a bit of solemnity to the entire venue.
Behind Lei Xiao, of course, was the Shadow Lord flag and the Lord's emblem drawn according to the flag.
In addition to the ten main participants including Lei Xiao, the main officials and national guardians of each country were all present and sat in the back seats.
Originally, Lei Xiao was going to arrange for the Pelican Princess Fei'er to attend the meeting as a monarch, but the latter declined and just sat behind Lei Xiao as an entourage.
At this point, the role of this quaint hall is self-evident, and it is an important place for holding the Human World Conference.
"My Lord, all the participants have arrived."
Shirley, who was in charge of the reception at the venue, touched her chest and saluted, and reported to Lei Xiao in a low voice.
"I understand."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, you are all my comrades who have been on the line between life and death with me. Our fates have long been linked, so I won't say any more polite words."
"The reason why I have summoned you all so solemnly today is that I have only one purpose, which is to decide the future of the human race with you."
Lei Xiao's eyes were solemn, and he said seriously, "After the battle of Glowing City, I have seen your efforts and contributions. It is precisely because of your command day and night on the front line that the reconstruction of the human world has made rapid progress and progressed smoothly."
"With your sincere cooperation, people no longer have barriers, no longer have intrigues, but shoulder to shoulder, working together in the same direction. This is a harmonious scene that has never been seen in the human world since the blank era."
As Lei Xiao's voice fell, the atmosphere in the entire conference hall became more and more heated.
Just as Lei Xiao said, after the tit-for-tat confrontation was over, the countries that did not need to guard against each other all put their energy completely on reconstruction and revitalization.
Sheathing the sword, opening the fortress, withdrawing the heavy troops, reopening the trade route, establishing cooperation... these things that were once out of reach have now become reality one by one!
In addition to being excited, everyone's eyes were focused on Lei Xiao, and their respect was beyond words.
Especially the seven monarchs and subordinates, they all understood clearly.
Although the lord attributed the credit to their efforts, the real decisive role was naturally played by the lord himself.
It was because the lord conquered the army of destroying countries one after another with his own strength, put a crown on their foreheads, sent a scepter to their hands, crowned them personally, and cleared all obstacles, that they were able to sit here safely and become the kings under one person and above ten thousand people!
Apart from the seven monarchs and subordinates, Sophia, who is in charge of the Temple of Light, is no different from the subordinates in essence.
After experiencing a comprehensive upgrade, Gray Old Man and Jonil have already completely followed Lei Xiao's lead, expressing their loyalty all the time, and wishing to become Lei Xiao's direct subordinates immediately.
As for the other participants, there is no need to say more. All of them have received great gifts from Lei Xiao, and they are in awe of Lei Xiao, and they are proud to be Lei Xiao's direct subordinates.
Seeing such a lively scene, Fei'er and Qin Qian, who were sitting behind Lei Xiao, were full of thoughts.
The former was very pleased to see that the human world had a new guardian and ruler again, while the latter was so excited that she almost fainted.
You know, the one who dominates the human world is a foreign lord with black hair and black eyes from Daxia like her. How can she not be proud of this?
It is also because of Lei Xiao's protection that other alien lords who were struggling to survive in the remote jungles of the human world have gradually begun to contact and communicate with the locals, and no longer have to struggle to survive in fear and live in fear every day.
It is no exaggeration to say that Lei Xiao has changed the fate of countless alien lords in the human world with his own strength. It is not an exaggeration to call him a savior!
Not to mention that under the leadership of Lei Xiao, the lords gathered together to work for the same goal, and even became the aristocracy. If it were before, this would undoubtedly be a life that the lords would not dare to think about!
Feeling the increasingly enthusiastic atmosphere in the venue, Lei Xiao, who affirmed the achievements of everyone, changed the subject and said: "With the full efforts of everyone, although the human world is thriving, this is far from enough, because we don't have much time left."
Lei Xiao's eyes became more solemn and he continued: "The primary threat we face is the catastrophe mentioned in many prophecies and diviners."
"What Your Highness said is absolutely true. I have confirmed that this prophecy will definitely happen a hundred years ago. However, it was only because of the complicated situation at that time and the obstruction of the source of evil that it did not receive widespread attention."
The gray old man's eyes were also full of solemnity and he echoed.
"Yes, fortunately, the human world today has been integrated under the leadership of His Highness, and we can again face this issue that cannot be ignored."
Yoniel took over the conversation and added: "Once this unknown storm comes, it will undoubtedly affect the fate of the entire human race and even the entire world. We must not ignore it in the slightest."
After Lei Xiao finished talking to the two old presidents, the atmosphere in the entire venue became solemn.
"Regarding this unknown cataclysm, although we don't know the specific content yet, fortunately we still have a small breakthrough, which is the cataclysm crack that already exists somewhere."
At this point, Lei Xiao nodded to Old Hui and motioned him to describe in detail the mysterious mission entrusted by Wang Xi.
At that time, when he learned the specific content of the mysterious mission, although Lei Xiao arranged the relevant matters immediately, he did not inform his subordinates of the specific reasons. Now, it is time to let everyone know everything. .
"Did the ancestors already notice some clues six hundred years ago?"
After hearing Old Hui's description, Ariel nodded in surprise and said: "If we can find the cracks in the cataclysm, we can indeed make some preparations, and even further study what they are!"
As soon as Ariel said this, everyone else present nodded in agreement.
"In short, the search for cataclysmic cracks must continue to increase."
After Lei Xiao said this, he waved his hand to Hong Ye, who was waiting on the side. The latter immediately unfolded a large schematic map on the prepared map stand.
What is depicted above not only covers all the territories and sea areas of the human world, but also has ruins marked in every corner of the map.
"This is a schematic map of ancient ruins in the human world drawn by the Mercenary Guild and combined with resources provided by the seven countries. All known locations of misplaced objects are marked on it."
Lei Xiao stood up from his seat, took the baton from Hong Ye, and started gesturing in front of the map.
"According to my deployment, all observation stations, barracks and corresponding sealing measures established at the locations of misplaced objects must be completed as quickly as possible, so that once there is any change in any place, we can react as soon as possible to blockade it. "
Lei Xiao's baton moved and finally landed on the vast sea area to the south of the Green Kingdom, and he said: "In addition, don't ignore the surrounding sea areas, especially this area, and we must focus on inspections."
"Your Highness, according to your instructions, I have dispatched all the warships and fishing boats of the Green Kingdom."
Eckhart raised his hand to speak, and said with embarrassment on his face: "But although the Green Kingdom has an extremely large number of cavalry archers and magic knights, its sea power is relatively weak, and I am afraid that it will not be able to cover the entire sea area in a short period of time."
"That's my next question."
Lei Xiao waved his hand gently, first signaling to the young new king of Green Green that there was no need to worry, and then continued: "That is to vigorously develop maritime power in various places and build several new large fleets."
"What His Highness said is absolutely true. The relative weakness of maritime power is indeed a major weakness of the human world. If it can be vigorously developed, it will also be a great help for the future to enter the outer world!"
Lawrence, who was once the maritime commander of the Kingdom of Grim, his eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed: "The Kingdom of Grim has a large number of shipbuilding technologies and talents, as well as specialized training institutions. I believe that I will definitely contribute to His Highness. !”
"There are also many corresponding talents here!"
Cecilia took over the conversation and said excitedly: "And because of the long coastline, Pars also has a lot of experience in port planning and construction!"
After Cecilia finished speaking, a middle-aged Pars general behind her nodded immediately, looking eager to fight. He was none other than the Duke of Lennox, Lei Xiao's former defeated enemy.
After Cecilia's coronation, Lei Xiao took the time to pick up the Royal Maritime Commander of the Pars Empire from his cell and continue to serve Cecilia.
Since Lennox was Cecilia's mentor at sea and had a close relationship, and Lei Xiao came in person, the former was flattered and felt grateful to Lei Xiao. He had already become Lei Xiao. One of the most loyal followers.
"The shipbuilding technology of Pars and Grim is indeed the best among the human nations, but our Iron Hand Islands are also full of talents."
Catherine smiled and said: "I am willing to do my best to contribute to His Highness's grand blueprint!"
"Then it's settled. The above three countries will take the lead, with the full support of the other four countries and neutral organizations, to build new ports, shipbuilding facilities and training institutions on the coastlines of the human world, especially the Green Kingdom, which is the top priority. Heavy."
Lei Xiao returned the baton to Hong Ye, sat back in his seat, and continued to deploy: "In this process, each country will send a certain number of ships to assist the Cangcui Kingdom while ensuring its own search efficiency, so as to ensure that all the sea areas of the Cangcui Kingdom are quickly covered."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The monarchs saluted with their chests and said in unison.
"By the way, there is another force that can participate."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, looked at Qin Qian behind him, and asked: "Lord technology can also play a certain role in promoting the construction of new ships, right?"
"Your Highness, while developing the airship internal combustion engine, we have also developed a ship internal combustion engine, which can increase the speed to a considerable extent and further optimize the ship structure. I believe it will definitely play a role."
Since Qin Qian had already met the monarchs and ministers at the banquet just now, she became less restrained and introduced the Lord shipbuilding technology currently developed like a treasure.
After hearing Qin Qian's words, especially Lawrence, Catherine, Lennox and others who knew ships very well, their eyes lit up and they were all excited.
Although the actual effect has not been seen yet, it is not difficult to see from Qin Qian's introduction that for the human world, this is undoubtedly a step across the ages, which will greatly increase the strength at sea!
"Then let's move on to the next topic."
Seeing that everything was arranged properly, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and said, "That is the matter of forming a million human army. This will be the most elite force of the human race and the foundation for us to fight against everything in the future."
"Nowadays, the various barbarians wandering around the human race are huge in number, bloodthirsty and cunning, and have brought blood and rain to the human race. They are undoubtedly the best targets for our training."
"Therefore, it is time to officially enter the implementation stage of assembling a million troops and then eliminating the surrounding barbarians."
After that, Lei Xiao described his plan to deploy a million elite troops to the Iron Stone Fortress.
As for the specific elite soldiers, they were selected by the seven countries according to the proportion, and finally reported to Lei Xiao for decision.
Because the monarchs and subordinates were very cooperative, it didn't take long for Lei Xiao to discuss the matter that he had been thinking about.
"Next, we should also proceed to the most critical matter."
Lei Xiao's eyes became brighter and his voice was sonorous and powerful.
