Chapter 558 The Allegiance of Marquis Rose

Realizing this, the Marquis of Rose opened his mouth wide, causing a huge wave in his heart.

Before that, when he saw Lei Xiao with his own eyes, and there was indeed a powerhouse of the fifth rank, the tiger stick, beside him, although Marquis Rose seemed calm on the surface, he was already touched in his heart.

One must know that even among the three princes who fought openly and secretly inside and outside the capital, only the eldest prince was supported by the white knight!

This undoubtedly means that, at least in terms of top combat power, Her Royal Highness is indeed qualified to compete with the three princes!

"It's worth mentioning that, as the name suggests, the White Knight is a fifth-tier powerhouse who strictly abides by the spirit of chivalry. Although he is extremely powerful, he rarely participates in the intrigue between the three princes."

While being shocked in his heart, Marquis Rose still looked elegant on the surface, and fell into deep thought again.

"It is said that even the ruthless eldest prince personally issued certain shady assassination orders, which he once refused to carry out, and only loyally guarded the eldest prince's Zhouquan."

"Of course, there is another important reason, because in the palace, there is another fifth-level powerhouse, Mr. Wu, who checks and balances."

"As a result, the eldest prince, who has won the support of most of the traditional nobles, has not gained an absolute overwhelming advantage even though he has the allegiance of the white knight, a powerhouse of the fifth rank."

"After all, in the past two or three hundred years, due to complex reasons such as conflicts of interests and ideas, Leng Yan's new nobles, who have always been at odds with Leng Yan's traditional nobles, have gradually formed an extremely terrifying scale, and they have exhausted their resources. The strong and the wealth are fully supporting the second prince."

"As for the fourth prince who claims to be supported only by wealthy businessmen, he is still very strong. This undoubtedly means that there is obviously a powerful mysterious force behind him."

Thinking of this, Marquis Rose brought his thoughts back to reality again, and looked at Lei Xiao with reverence.

And now, right in front of him, Her Royal Highness, the weakest princess, after receiving the full support of Her Majesty Ke Qing, has two mighty Zhenguo-level fifth-order powerhouses by her side!

While his mind was agitated, Marquis Rose, whose rough face was flushed, continued to think.

"However, although I don't know the origin of the terror of this young and mysterious Your Excellency Ke Qing, if there are only two fifth-order powerhouses, it is naturally far from enough. After all, a large-scale battlefield and a small-scale fierce battle It's quite different."

"You know, the power of the other three princes has already spread all over Leng Yan, both openly and secretly. Each prince has at least hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of heavy soldiers in his hands."

"Once the battle begins, no matter how powerful the two fifth-tier powerhouses are, one person can contain or even destroy an army of ten thousand people, but the opponent's other army can still easily take advantage of this time. Completely razed to the ground.”

"All in all, although the strength of the fifth-order powerhouse can be called the ceiling of the human race's combat power, it can almost kill any strong man below the fourth-order power, but it does not mean invincible. Once the energy in the body is exhausted, it will naturally be the end of the hero. It's time."

"Thus, the wars of all dynasties have shown that in most cases, the role of the powerful fifth-tier powerhouse is not directly used as the main combat force on the battlefield, but as an excellent tactical hole card. , at the critical position and moment, give the opponent a thunderous fatal blow."

Thinking of this, Marquis Rose's eyes lit up, obviously realizing something.

"It's no wonder that on the border battlefield, Your Excellency Ke Qing defeated the three main armies and five miscellaneous armies of the Holy Night Army with only one main army and two miscellaneous armies with low morale..."

"It is conceivable that Your Excellency, Ke Qing, obviously used these two fifth-order powerhouses as trump cards to the extreme, and adopted some other unexpected and powerful means, which finally achieved such a big victory!"

Looking excitedly at Lei Xiao, Marquis Rose sighed in his heart: "I remember a general who experienced many battles once said that the most difficult thing in this world is to guess the opponent's true intentions on the battlefield. "

"Your Excellency, Ke Qing, faced the famous Red Devil of the Holy Night Moon Hall on the ever-changing battlefield, but he was still able to plan a strategy, so that he won such a big victory. From this, it can be seen that Your Excellency Ke Qing is not only in strength. It's extremely low-key and hidden."

At the same time that Marquis Rose was filled with emotion.

Not far away, Lei Xiao shivered involuntarily when he saw Marquis Rose who was looking at him with an inexplicable excited look and an elegant face, and instantly felt his goosebumps drop all over the ground.

"I think I finally realized clearly that there is no reason why Ariel has nothing to do with the other party."

Thinking of this speechlessly, Lei Xiao regained his spirits, and then said to the dragon woman who was standing by in front of him, "Okay, Hong Ye, I will leave the rest to you."

"Don't worry, my lord, this subordinate will definitely clean up this place."

Hong Ye bowed slightly and smiled at Lei Xiao, the flame in his hand rose violently again.

"Your Excellency, this strong woman, please pay attention to the other wines that are still intact while eliminating that nasty slime..."

Immediately afterwards, Marquis Rose came back to his senses and followed carefully.

Hearing the Marquis Rose's order, Hong Ye could only frowned and nodded for the Lord's sake, "Don't worry, I have my own measure."

"Then let's get out of here first."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then took his own steps and walked towards the passageway where he came just now.

That's it, except for the red night who is ready to go.

Under the guidance of Marquis Rose, Lei Xiao and his party returned to the vast wine cellar hall just now.

"Having said that, according to what Hong Ye said, this kind of devouring slime has been extinct in the blank era, and it is the power of a certain prince who put this terrible monster here... How did they do it? Found, this kind of extinct Warcraft that has disappeared in the long river of history?"

Thinking of this in perplexity, Lei Xiao frowned slightly as he stared at the neat row of wine barrels in front of him.

In any case, it can be seen from this matter.

The power of the three princes is obviously much more unpredictable than what I had estimated before.

"Forget it, now is not the time to think about these things, let's find a way to get the Marquis of Rose under his command as soon as possible. To get this knowledgeable Lord of Lan Leng Castle, no matter from which aspect, it will have a big impact on me. help."

"By the way, I don't have any idle Tier 4 Recruitment Orders on me. I only have ten Tier 2 Recruitment Orders that have not been upgraded in the past two days. Let's upgrade first and see."

Thinking about this, Lei Xiao immediately upgraded.

Immediately afterwards, a series of familiar reminders rang in Lei Xiao's ears.

[Congratulations, your "Tier 2 Recruitment Order" has been upgraded to a "Tier 3 Recruitment Order"! 】

[Congratulations, your "Second-Tier Recruitment Order" has been upgraded to 105 "Second-Tier Recruitment Orders"! 】

...

[Congratulations, your "Tier 2 Recruitment Order" has been upgraded to "Tier 4 Recruitment Order"! 】

...

"Sure enough, I got another Tier 4 recruitment order!"

After listening to the prompt, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a look of joy on his face, and immediately began to take inventory secretly.

After some inspection, Lei Xiao found out.

I have obtained a total of 1 Tier 4 Recruitment Order, 4 Tier 3 Recruitment Orders, and 530 Tier 2 Recruitment Orders.

"Currently, including the newly obtained ones, I have more than 2,800 Tier 1 recruitment orders, 570 Tier 2 recruitment orders, 6 Tier 3 recruitment orders, plus 1 Tier 4 recruitment order? Not bad, take over Rose The preparations for the Marquis are complete."

After thinking about it, Lei Xiao's eyes fell on Marquis Rose, who still had a sad face, and asked, "Your Excellency, which prince do you think is the one who secretly put this slime in?" messenger?"

"Returning to Your Excellency, according to my analysis, the initial size of this devouring slime should be smaller than that of ordinary slimes. According to my memory, these three waves of messengers did not bring any suspicious items into the This underground wine cellar is most likely to be hidden directly in the robe."

Nodding to Lei Xiao, the Marquis of Rose pondered, "From the point of view of time, the first envoys sent by the eldest prince came a month ago, and the last wave of envoys came a week ago.

From this, the suspicion of the eldest prince's faction can be almost ruled out, because when the last wave of envoys was brought in later, no clues were found. "

"That's right, although I don't know how long it took the Devouring Slime to grow to the size it is today, but it can't be a month ago, otherwise, when Qing Shuanghua went in for the last time, there must be will notice."

Ariel nodded slightly, blinking her starry eyes thoughtfully.

"What Her Royal Highness said is very true, but the envoys of the second prince and the fourth prince are only three days apart, and when the last wave of envoys of the fourth prince arrived, they only stayed in the second district of fine wine for a while. Take a closer look, so the minister did not notice the situation in the depths of the wine cellar."

After nodding, the Marquis of Rose seemed to think of the missing rose again. While scanning the ground, he added: "As for the second prince's envoy, he turned halfway in the second district of fine wine. circle, the biggest suspect.

However, even though the fourth prince's envoys only stayed for a short while, one of them had been chatting with his subordinates all the time. Thinking about it now, it was very likely that he did it on purpose to distract the subordinates' attention. "

"So that's the case. It seems that the suspicion of the messengers of the second prince and the fourth prince cannot be ruled out. However, I think there is a third possibility."

Gently rubbing his chin, Lei Xiao murmured: "That is, among the envoys of the second prince and the fourth prince, there is actually a team sent by the first prince to pretend to get rid of you.

And the cleverness of this trick is that if you miss it, you can transfer your hatred to the other two princes. "

"this……"

Hearing Lei Xiao's words, Marquis Rose was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized, he nodded and said, "Your Excellency, you are right. From the perspective of the eldest prince's seemingly righteous but insidious and cunning character, this possibility It's really not small!"

After finishing speaking, the Marquis of Rose swallowed involuntarily, and muttered to himself: "I thought that without the participation of the eldest prince, the pressure on me would be less, but in this way, I have been stared at by the three princes at the same time." Are you on?"

"Since that's the case, what is your Excellency the City Lord going to do next?"

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and continued: "It is conceivable that if the other party fails this time, they will not let it go. I am afraid that the next time it will be a more violent storm."

"Your Majesty Keqing is right. I originally planned to bite the bullet and not get involved in this power dispute."

Sighing involuntarily, the Marquis of Rose said frowningly: "But judging from the current situation, it is precisely because of this stupid decision that my life and even the entire family's foundation were almost destroyed in one fell swoop. .”

After speaking, Marquis Rose looked at Lei Xiao's indifferent face, and couldn't help but be full of thoughts.

Just as I thought before, compared with the other three waves not long ago, the envoys of the princes from the capital.

Your Excellency Ke Qing and His Royal Highness the Princess in front of you both have the same purpose of wooing yourself, but both their sincerity and attitude are completely different from the previous arrogant and unreasonable messengers.

Even, he didn't hesitate to risk his life to help him solve this fatal crisis.

Thinking of this, Marquis Rose was grateful, bit his big lips, and pondered for a moment.

Afterwards, he finally made up his mind, and said tentatively to Lei Xiao, "Your Majesty, is the purpose of you and Your Highness the Princess coming here in the first place?"

"Of course, it would be great if someone like Your Excellency the City Lord joins in."

Raising his eyebrows slightly again, Lei Xiao smiled faintly.

"Great! Thank you, Your Excellency, Ke Qing!"

Hearing the sound, Marquis Rose nodded excitedly to Lei Xiao, and then came to Ariel, ready to make a big gift.

However, before he could make a move, Ariel quickly waved her hand and said, "Qing Shuanghua, the person you really want to be loyal to is not me, but my master."

After all, Ariel bowed to Lei Xiao, and then obediently stood aside.

"His Royal Highness's master?! Your Excellency, who are you?!"

Seeing this scene, Marquis Rose couldn't believe his eyes, and was stunned on the spot with a dumbfounded look.

"Ariel, tell this surprised City Lord everything about me."

Nodding to Princess Lengyan, Lei Xiao still kept a faint smile.

"Obey, my lord."

Immediately afterwards, Ariel briefly described Lei Xiao's status as a lord of another world, his plan to support her to become the queen of cold flames, and the terrible catastrophe that might come at any time, with Marquis Rose.

"It turns out that what we are seeing is just the insignificant power struggle in front of us, but what the lord is watching is the terrible catastrophe that is about to happen in the distance and will sweep the entire continent. The gap here is simply It's hard to describe in words..."

"But it is such a big man who can subdue even Her Majesty the Princess, but is willing to come to this underground wine cellar at the risk of encountering unknown monsters for me, an insignificant little city lord..."

Thinking of this, the Marquis of Rose did not hesitate, and then knelt down in front of Lei Xiao, and said sincerely: "My subordinate, Double Flower Oak, is willing to swear allegiance to the Lord Lord!"
