Chapter 1260 The One Who Accepted the Call
When I ran right in front of Lei Xiao, I saw the middle-aged man with a stern face kneeling on the ground while still some distance away, with a look of fear on his face.
"On behalf of all the officers and men, my subordinate Witte is here to see the lord! Please forgive us for our disrespect! We will definitely assist the lord with all our strength!"
The middle-aged man with a stern face almost buried his head under Lei Xiao's feet and said tremblingly: "If the lord wants to punish the sins of his subordinates, then punish him, even if it means killing his subordinates. I will never have any complaints from my subordinates!”
As the middle-aged general named Witt finished speaking, the other new subordinates immediately made the same kneeling gesture, not daring to look directly at Lei Xiao.
Looking at this sudden scene in front of them, whether it was Lei Xiao himself or the other subordinates around him, a look of confusion appeared on their faces, which was obviously unexpected.
"No matter why they are so scared, they must have been through a lot."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately lowered his body and helped the trembling Witte up, and said with a smile: "You all followed my call. I am too late to welcome you, so how can I blame you?"
After that, Lei Xiao pulled Wit to the front of the other new subordinates, helped a few of them up one after another, and motioned for the others to get up as well, so there was no need to continue to salute.
After everyone stood up uneasily, this time it was Witt and other new subordinates' turn to be surprised.
Because they really couldn't see any trace of blame on the gentle face of this lord, but it was full of sincerity.
Surprised, the flattered Witt opened his lips again and again, and then tentatively said: "Lord, do you really not blame your subordinates?"
"You are determined to fight for me, and you don't hesitate to come to this strange land. What's the crime?"
Lei Xiao looked at Witt's trouser legs and knees that had been scratched due to slipping and kneeling just now. While signaling Ye Cang to step forward to treat the latter, he turned his palms up and handed a new set of lining to the other person's hands.
"this……"
Holding the new clothes casually handed over by Lei Xiao with both hands, and feeling the warmth brought by the healing spell, Witt looked filled with gratitude. While feeling flattered, he finally revealed the reason for their fear.
"Lord, but we did not bring any equipment or personal belongings. This caused huge losses to the Lord!"
After hearing Witt's words, Lei Xiao suddenly became enlightened.
There is indeed such a clause in the master-servant contract. The slaves who accept the summons should bring the necessary tools and equipment so that they can serve the territory as soon as they accept the summons.
"Think about it, even for a country, the weapons, armor and other trump cards carried by a third-level strong team are an extremely considerable amount of wealth. After all, a force that has the strength to cultivate third-level power cannot just do it for It is equipped with second-level equipment.”
"And Witt and others did not carry any equipment. Theoretically speaking, this does mean that I suffered losses."
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, understanding everything in his mind.
I remember that Qin Qian once mentioned in one of her reports that this situation also occurred for a period of time among the lords on this land in the early days. After all, equipment was extremely scarce for the lords at that time, and it could even be said to be the key to survival. location.
After finally summoning a slave who focuses on fighting, especially a stronger second-level slave, if the opponent does not bring any equipment and comes empty-handed, the lords will indeed feel disappointed, and there will be examples of venting their anger on the new slave. Not uncommon.
"But after I gradually integrate the power of the lords, whether it is equipment or other materials, they will be rationed as needed, and there are more capable people, so that the lords no longer worry about survival, and this situation will naturally not Appeared."
"As for myself, I already have enough equipment for all the second-level and above powers in the entire human world to have third-level and above equipment. Naturally, I won't care about this mere thousand sets of third-level equipment, even if they are not upgraded."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, he saw that the lord did not speak for a while, and the hearts of Witt and other new subordinates that had just been relieved rose to their throats again.
Before accepting the summons, Wit had witnessed with his own eyes that after the alien lord tyrant in their land summoned a team of the same number and size, all of them died because the new subordinates did not carry any equipment, and this situation was not Rarely, sometimes even summoned just for equipment.
After all, that aloof alien lord tyrant relies on some means to always summon high-level subordinates, and he doesn't care at all.
The frightening summoning scene, the stunned new subordinates who fell, and the tyrant's unbridled laughter became Witt's nightmare, which he would never forget.
Therefore, as soon as Wit was summoned, he kowtowed to Lei Xiao to admit his mistake.
Wit already knew this by observing the otherworldly lords in that land.
Although the young lord with black hair and black eyes in front of him is completely different from that lord tyrant, he who can summon 1,000 third-level subordinates at once with such a big deal must also be the ruler of this land, at least as good as that lord. The tyrant stands at the same height!
Facing such a big shot, how could Witt and others not be frightened?
Noticing that Witt's expression was still a little uncertain, Lei Xiao did not speak immediately, but smiled and stepped aside, signaling Witt and others to look at the other subordinate teams in the territory.
I saw that whether it was the glorious guards with shining golden armor, the magicians wearing profound robes, or the ordinary-looking peasant squadron, the weapons and armor on their bodies were all more brilliant than the third-level equipment. As for Not to mention the equipment of the main subordinates, which was so dazzling that Witte and others were a little dazzled.
At this point, these new subordinates noticed that in the huge territory, they were all equipped with equipment of level four or above, and the splendor of the national level was even more dazzling, it was simply unbelievable!
Even if they were the lords and tyrants there, their territory would never reach this level!
"Do you understand now? What I value is not the equipment, but you yourself. All I need is Paoze who can fight alongside me, and companions who can accompany me on this journey. That's all."
Lei Xiao nodded to Wit and the other new subordinates, and said seriously: "The moment you decide to fight for me, you are already me, everyone present, and an indispensable part of this territory. ”
"Now you can rest assured. We have prepared breakfast for you. When the summons is over, we will take care of you together."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, the other subordinates behind him also nodded with smiles on their faces.
Seeing this scene, both Witte and the other new subordinates were stunned for a long time, and then they all knelt down on the ground again, expressing their inner thoughts with actions.
It's just that last time it was because of fear and uneasiness, but this time it was because of excitement and gratitude. They never thought that they would meet such a wise master.
If that tyrant had half the power of the lord in front of him, how could their family be ruined and have to choose an unknown future?
But fortunately, they were lucky. Instead of meeting another tyrant, they met the lord in front of them.
While the new subordinates were kneeling on the ground, Lei Xiao opened the overview interface of the new subordinates while listening to the notification sound of rising loyalty.
"So it turns out that Witte and the others are all Earthly Dragon Knights? I didn't expect to summon such a rare soldier, after all, in this land. It is an organized force that only the Cold Flame Kingdom possesses."
"You know, even with my balanced training, Leng Yan's Earthly Dragon Knights have not yet developed such a fighting strength."
Lei Xiao's eyes flashed with surprise and he continued to check.
In terms of strength, some commanders such as Witte have all reached the peak of the third level, while most of the knights are at the third level and one star, and it seems that they have just been promoted.
"This is also expected. After all, it is rare to see a thousand-man force with all third-level troops, let alone a rare unit like the Earthly Dragon Knight."
"Under normal circumstances, three or four ordinary knights of the same combat strength may not be the opponent of an Earth Dragon Knight, let alone a group charge."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and quickly opened the attribute columns of several new slaves.
In terms of skills, the knights all master active skills such as "Heavy Spear Thrust", "Earth Dragon Carbine", "Epee Cross Slash", and "Heavy Shield Slam".
Passive skills include "Earth Dragon Companion", "Dust-proof Eyes", lance, heavy sword, shield mastery and mastery, etc.
"Needless to say, I will be able to supply enough of the fourth-level equipment needed by the knights right away, and the required mounts can also be obtained in a short time. After all, the Yorkman family, one of the three wealthy families in Leng Yan, is an earth-moving dragon. The cradle of knights raises a large number of earth dragons.”
"In addition, although the territory also has knight-like troops such as half-elf wolf cavalry, they are only ranger troops who are good at fighting in jungles and other complex terrains and cannot charge on the frontal battlefield."
"And this Earthly Dragon Knight will undoubtedly make up for the shortcomings of the territory. Whether it is an honor guard to show the majesty of the territory or a mobile unit, it will play a great role!"
"After all, with the transformation and expansion of the territory, the scope of the flat land and cities will become larger and larger, which just meets the knight's requirements for terrain."
Lei Xiao thought like this and helped Witte over again.
Then, Lei Xiao waved his hand, and 1,000 sets of fourth-level equipment required by the Earth Dragon Knights were neatly arranged.
Before Witte and others could react, the same number of high-end storage rings, various high-level magic potions, magic scrolls and other sky-high-priced items also appeared one after another, leaving Witte and others stunned.
They who once defended the outside of the tyrant's territory clearly understood that even the direct subordinates of the tyrant had not yet reached this level!
"Everyone, please put it away. This is just the beginning."
Looking at the grateful expressions of Witte and others, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said: "From this moment on, as long as I am still standing here, this land will always have a place for you."
"Being lucky enough to come to the lord's territory is undoubtedly a great blessing among the misfortunes of these bereaved dogs. I am willing to fight to the end for the lord!"
Witte's strong body was constantly trembling, his voice was extremely excited, and the other new subordinates also had the same expression, crying with joy.
After the new subordinates put away their equipment and quickly changed their clothes, the power of a powerful third-level warrior was fully displayed in front of Lei Xiao.
"This is my subordinate."
Lei Xiao looked at the thousands of black heavy-armored knights lined up neatly in front of him, especially those pairs of eyes filled with gratitude and reverence, and nodded with satisfaction.
Although the loyalty of these weather-beaten new subordinates has increased significantly slower, they have all reached 100 points.
After being satisfied, Lei Xiao couldn't help but have a trace of curiosity on his face.
As for the specific content of curiosity, it is naturally what Witt and others have experienced. This is also one of Lei Xiao's intended goals, which is to understand as much as possible the situation of the alien lords in other sectors.
"Lord, are you curious as to why my subordinates have fallen to this level?"
Witte obviously noticed Lei Xiao's thoughts. He sighed heavily and then described it in detail.
It turned out that after the tyrant of that land took over the human world, he immediately attacked the outside world non-stop.
As a result, they were too arrogant, resulting in poor command and hasty preparation, and finally returned in defeat, leaving the human world with a broken army.
In the end, the tyrant came up with an insidious plan, which was to use the small country that connected the land with the outside world as a bait, allowing the enemy Dark Orc army to march in, and then launch a siege.
"Could it be that the bait is..."
After hearing what Witte said, Lei Xiao had already reacted.
"Yes, Lord, this is my hometown."
Witt's voice trembled as he responded: "At that time, my subordinates and others were still conscientiously guarding the tyrant's territory on the periphery, and had no idea what was happening."
"When the subordinates received the order and were transferred there to eliminate the last dark orcs, they discovered that their former home had been reduced to ruins with corpses everywhere, and there was deathly silence everywhere. Only the black magic crows that were eating carrion were left. Haunting in the dark sky."
At this point, Witt was already crying.
"The cracked earth, the smoke that has not yet dissipated, and the pungent smell of blood shocked the subordinates and others. The tyrant finally won, but the subordinates and others lost everything."
"In the end, the subordinates and others decided to escape from the clutches of the tyrant, but they were quickly noticed by the other party's minions. They were raided and rounded up at night, and the equipment warehouse was also protected by a defensive barrier."
"In a hurry, the subordinates and others had no choice but to hide in hiding, and then they were summoned by the lord."
Witte wiped his cheeks and said with gratitude: "Thanks to the lord, otherwise the fate of my subordinates and others would be self-evident."
Listening to Witte's description, Lei Xiao frowned slightly and his brain started spinning rapidly.
