Chapter 255 Hall Talk (Part 1)
Looking at Lei Xiao's piercing eyes, whether it was Princess Ariel herself or the two generals of the fourth-rank kingdom beside her, they couldn't help but start to look at each other.
Their superior attitude and the many means of coercion and lure by the Lengyan royal family obviously have no effect on the young man in front of him.
Moreover, it is not difficult to see from the cold eyes of the other party.
If they made any misdeeds, the other party would really get rid of them all without hesitation, even the noble Princess Ariel, I'm afraid it would be no exception.
At this time, under the bright sunshine, a hundred flowers bloomed on the huge square, greenery was everywhere, and there was a warm scene everywhere.
But the hearts of all the Lengyan powerhouses have long since fallen into a hole in the ice, and there are strands of chill continuously.
Behind the gentle face of this calm-looking young man in front of him, there is no doubt that what is hidden is decisiveness and cruelty that make people feel bone-chilling.
"His Royal Highness, according to the old minister, the meaning of the other party's words is already obvious."
I saw the fourth-tier white-haired old man in heavy plate armor, frowned for a moment, bowed to Ariel and said: "That means we must put down our posture and adopt the etiquette and posture that an ordinary mission should have. Only by acting will you get the respect of the other party.”
"Your Highness, the old general is right."
Although there was still a tinge of anger on her fair face, the fourth-rank female clergyman nodded helplessly.
Then he whispered to Ariel: "This person looks like a tough guy who doesn't want to be tough, and belongs to the most difficult type to deal with, and just on the surface, the strong energy he displays is already enough. Pretty amazing."
"Although it is very uncomfortable, under the current situation, it is more beneficial for us to use this annoying guy as an ally rather than as an opponent."
Dai Mei lowered her eyebrows and sighed softly, and the female priest added: "After all, at this stage, I have no place to settle down in the capital."
"I also understand this truth, but this guy with a calm face is simply itchy with hatred."
Wrinkling her pretty nose slightly, Ariel was like a deflated ball, muttering to herself: "Forget it, this is the only way to go now."
After finishing speaking, Ariel took a step forward, flicked her curly long hair, and cleared her throat pretending to be calm.
Immediately afterwards, he said reluctantly: "Forget it, since you sincerely invited me, then I will give you some face, and I will lead the way."
Although it seemed that Ariel still had that haughty posture, her voice was subconsciously much smaller. Compared with before, she obviously lacked confidence.
"It seems that this is the last stubbornness of this princess."
Seeing that the other party forcibly found a step down for him, Lei Xiao shrugged with his mouth curled up, and didn't say anything else.
Then he took all the main force subordinates and walked straight to the city lord's mansion.
After the confrontation just now, I have already completed the intended goal.
That is to deter the opponent to the maximum extent while keeping the hole cards.
In this way, while severely dampening the opponent's spirit.
Invisibly, I have mastered the initiative for further dialogue.
The most important thing is to make the other party clearly aware of one point.
If there is any change in this Kongqing Town, the only thing that greets them is undoubtedly a catastrophe.
...
After a while, Lei Xiao was already sitting on the throne at the top of the main hall on the first floor of the City Lord's Mansion.
Behind him, there are two people, Hu Zhang and Ye Cang.
In the spacious and bright hall, on the left hand side of the first position.
In order, there are Guan Zhong under Lei Xiao's command, the two captains of the defense army of Kongqing Town, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Chao Yan, A Ling, and A Bing, a total of 8 people.
And on the right hand side of the first position.
It was the opponent's white-haired old man in fourth-tier plate armor, a female priest in fourth-tier pure white priest robes, five third-tier maids, and Lin and Fang Hai as neutral forces.
As for the most important Princess Ariel, she naturally received VIP-level treatment and sat next to Lei Xiao's throne... on a luxury chair with armrests that was obviously cut short by sawing.
In addition, the two elite squadrons and other entourage brought by the other party were arranged in an idle barracks not far from the City Lord's Mansion.
Of course, there were also two squadrons of great swordsmen and a squadron of magicians who followed Lei Xiao, closely watching each other's every move.
And those extremely eye-catching luxury airships have also been properly arranged.
"Okay, let's not gossip, let's get straight to the point."
Seeing that everyone was already seated, Lei Xiao nodded slightly while waving his hand to signal the waiting maid to serve tea.
"It's exactly what the princess wants."
On the other side, Ariel, who was obviously bowing her head, naturally knew that Lei Xiao did it on purpose. The corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily, suppressing the anger in her heart, and still pretending to be calm.
Next, after Ariel's brief introduction, Lei Xiao learned about it.
Those two strong fourth-tier powerhouses are both one of the generals of the eight kingdoms who are loyal to the Lengyan royal family.
The white-haired old man wearing armor and carrying a battle ax is Burt, the great axe general.
And the young woman wearing a pure white priest's robe and carrying a long sword at her waist is the orange-white general of the Holy Light.
"Generals of the Eight Great Kingdoms? It's interesting. It seems that these two generals are the supporters of the fifth princess."
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, and murmured in his heart: "It is worth noting that the large troops under their command did not show up. There must be something else wrong with it. We must take the opportunity to ask about it later."
Through this period of understanding, Lei Xiao clearly understood.
In this world, the people who can really be called generals are at least at the level of the army commander who commands the army of ten thousand people.
In other words, this also proves from the side that the Lengyan royal family alone has at least eight legions of troops.
Coupled with the other Lengyan Zhucheng, for the current self, it is indeed a very terrifying number.
After all, at this stage, he only owns Kongqing Town and Mailan Town, these two small towns, and the combat power of an army of ten thousand people is enough to match a powerful fifth-order powerhouse.
"By the way, the fiefdoms of Xueya and Faxia's respective families must be completely settled down. As the heirs of their earl family, it is not difficult to do this."
"In this way, my overall strength will be further increased. In addition, the other cities around Kongqing Town and Mailan Town have to find opportunities to investigate carefully."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao cheered up and gave a brief introduction to all the subordinates under his command.
After both parties greeted each other politely, Lei Xiao didn't hesitate, and straight to the point said to Ariel, "Then, my dear Fifth Princess, please tell me the real purpose of your coming here."
