Chapter 902 The Lord's Plan and the Coming Shadow

What Lei Xiao was curious about was naturally the reason behind the White Knight's refusal to show his true colors to others. I am afraid this is the reason why the White Knight, as a human race, can still be active for thousands of years.

"Forget it. For the white knight who witnessed the destruction of the Kingdom of Loren, this may be a past event that he does not want to mention. It is too rash to ask now."

"Besides, just like what I said just now, the battle is not over yet, and it's far from time to relax. Arrange the white knights into the counterattack team first."

"With the addition of the white knight, the morale of our soldiers will undoubtedly be further improved!"

After making up his mind, Lei Xiao first added some potions and magic scrolls to the white knight, and then ordered Sarah to fight with the white knight, and let the white knight go first to boost the morale of the soldiers.

As the former Apocalypse Knight of the Loren Kingdom, the White Knight naturally has no reservations about Sarah, which will undoubtedly quickly improve Sarah's actual combat ability.

As for the white knight's damaged mount just now, Lei Xiao had already asked about it.

The Pegasus puppet's wings are partially damaged, so the white knight is temporarily unable to fly.

However, fortunately, the alchemy puppet has an automatic repair function, and it will be able to recover by itself in a short time.

After the White Knight and Sarah left, Lei Xiao, accompanied by Jiang Li, went to another battlefield at the entrance of the Watching Star Corridor for supplies.

The situation here is the same as the main battlefield just now, and the curtain has completely come to an end.

I saw that on the battlefield where the dawn was shining, gunpowder smoke was still slowly rising in many places, scorched corpses, broken battle flags and weapons were everywhere, and there was a mess everywhere.

Gently sniffing the strong smell of blood in the air, Lei Xiao learned about it through reports from Ed and others.

The Shuiyue Fenglong Legion led by Ed and Tran is escorting a large number of fallen nobles to surrender, while the Battle Doll Legion led by Theon is cleaning the battlefield.

Afterwards, Lei Xiao collected all the news on the battlefield and learned more about it.

After the tragic offensive and defensive battle of Wangxing City, the main battlefield just now, and the entrance battlefield of this Wangxing Corridor.

At least half of the 300,000 fallen noble coalition forces became our captives, while the rest died on the battlefield. Of course, a considerable part of them was caused by the two fighting each other.

As for our battle damage, more than half of the 7 main legions suffered casualties, and 1/4 of the 10 recruit legions and the Fenglong Shuiyue legion and the battle doll legion on this battlefield suffered casualties.

"That is to say, besides the wounded and left behind soldiers, I still have 10 legions available."

"And these 10 legions will be reorganized, under the leadership of the main generals such as Orr and Bert, and they will be divided into two groups according to the predetermined plan, going north and south respectively."

"After experiencing this massive war, those recruits can also play a certain role. After all, what they need to face is the empty and panic-stricken enemy city."

As Lei Xiao thought about it, his eyes moved, and then he focused on another part of our soldier camp without any flags.

These are the northern soldiers brought by the third princess Caroline and the blade general Hilda.

"Although they have the teleportation from Crystal Blue City, these soldiers from the northern border have always come from afar, and they have made great contributions."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, nodding to signal Jiang Li to distribute supplies to the northern soldiers.

Due to the important task of guarding the Buluo Fortress, these soldiers in the northern border could not stay for long, nor could they participate in the next counter-offensive.

But as reinforcements from afar, they did play a vital role and proved their strong strength and extraordinary courage.

"Just like the appearance of Wuhe White Knight, without the help of Caroline and the Northern Army, I would never have defeated the opponent so quickly."

While sighing in his heart, Lei Xiao continued to think.

Apart from these negligible supplies, I will also give other rewards to this friendly army.

However, now that our counterattack is imminent, it is not the time to celebrate.

When the counterattack comes to an end, I will personally go to Buluo Fortress to reward these northern soldiers.

In this way, not only can I further increase the prestige of myself and Ariel in the northern army, but it can also pave the way for the next action.

As for what the next action is, it is already very obvious.

First, under Caroline's appeal, strive to take over the remaining 20 neutral cities in the northern border without bloodshed, and completely bring the vast northern border under his control.

Second, of course it is Caroline herself, this Leng Yan's third princess, I have to subdue her sooner or later, only by doing this can I make Ariel's future throne more stable.

At the same time, Princess General Caroline, who has already achieved a lot of prestige on the battlefield, can also become a great help to Ariel, whether it is the status of the royal family or her own strength.

Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao asked Tran, Ed, and Theon about the specific situation of the battle and the details of the surrender.

Now that hundreds of thousands of surrendered soldiers have been captured, it is natural to resolve the conflict between himself and the new citizens as soon as possible, and strive to bring these surrendered soldiers under his command as soon as possible.

With the successful experience tested by the previous war and the support of its own increasingly large assets, it is only a matter of time before it is done.

"I can only have more than 100,000 troops at present. With the addition of these surrendered troops, and if I can successfully conquer the entire northern border, the total strength of my troops will easily exceed the coalition forces of fallen nobles this time!"

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a look of joy on his face.

At that time, it is time for me to take Ariel to point at the capital.

Just as Lei Xiao thought of this, the sounds of horseshoes and orderly footsteps could be heard not far away.

Following the prestige, Lei Xiao noticed.

I saw Caroline and Hilda leading another part of the northern border army, rushing over from the main battlefield.

"I haven't had time to talk to this princess general before, so I just took this opportunity to say hello."

While thinking about it, Lei Xiao led Jiang Li to meet him.

Seeing Lei Xiao's figure, Caroline and Hilda's eyes lit up, and they rushed forward one after another.

"My sister Keqing, you really let me participate in a passionate and hearty battle!"

Before Lei Xiao could speak, Caroline, who was dressed in black plate armor, jumped off her mount and spoke excitedly to Lei Xiao.

"You not only successfully defeated the coalition forces of 300,000 nobles, but also successfully killed 3 enemy fifth-tier powerhouses and 4 fallen noble generals. This wonderful and endless battle of the star-watching corridor is enough to be recorded in the annals of the entire human race. For countless scholars and powerful people of future generations to look up to!"

Caroline, who was already extremely martial, became more and more excited as she spoke, and even lifted half of the visor on the helmet, revealing part of her fair skin and red lips, and continued: "In other words, my sister Keqing, you have created a new History!"

After Caroline finished speaking, the tall and tall Hilda also nodded quickly.

"His Highness the third princess thinks highly of me, and I'm just doing my best, just like what I said to His Highness at the time, this time each of us is fighting for the future."

Hearing the excitement in Caroline's words, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and responded, "So, it's not me who created history alone, but every soldier involved in this war, including Your Highness, He personally left a strong and colorful stroke in the long river of history, which is worthy of being remembered by future generations."

After a pause, Lei Xiao added solemnly: "Without the help of Her Royal Highness the Third Princess and General Hilda, not only would more soldiers under my command have died, but the victory would not have come so easily."

"Hilda, let me just say it, this guy's mouth is like honey, and he can always put words into people's hearts."

Caroline smiled sarcasticly, obviously very satisfied with Lei Xiao's reply, and then said: "Okay, the Buluo Fortress is empty, we can't stay here for a long time, so let's not stay here for now."

"Understood. In short, this time I am really grateful to Your Highness the Third Princess. When I come to an end, I will go to the Buluo Fortress with Her Highness Ariel to celebrate everyone."

Lei Xiao nodded, then called Theon over casually, and asked him to lead Caroline and the others to Crystal Blue City, and then return to Buluo Fortress via Crystal Blue City.

"My sister, Keqing, you don't need to say thank you. Your Excellency has already said that we are all fighting for our own future."

Seeing that Lei Xiao had arranged everything properly, Caroline sat back on the horse with satisfaction, and then led the team to leave.

"The third princess who is as wild as a wild horse? I hope I can find an opportunity early and tame her as soon as possible."

Lei Xiao looked at Caroline's leaving back, slightly raised his eyebrows, and refocused his attention on the battlefield at the entrance.

After that, through the news sent by Curio and others, Lei Xiao learned further.

Not long ago, there were 50,000 relatively weak fallen aristocratic reserve reinforcements who tried to come to support. Obviously, they did not expect the war to end so quickly.

However, it had already been wiped out by the Moon Wolf Clan Ranger Team that he had deployed in advance, led by Bo Lun and assisted by Xiao Ya, which could be regarded as a small episode after the war.

In this way, while dealing with some scattered affairs after the war, Lei Xiao took a nap on this battlefield. It was not until the 100,000 troops under his command left the Star Corridor that he brought some of the main force and the elite squadron back to the territory for a rest.

As for Ariel, accompanied by Hong Ye and other main powerhouses, she led the soldiers forward bravely.

When Lei Xiao opened his eyes again in the bedroom of his lord's mansion, it was almost evening.

"After sweeping away the threat in front of me, I really feel safe."

Lei Xiao stretched firmly and sat up from the bed.

After some simple washing, Lei Xiao first came to the lord's office, and began to carry out daily matters such as receiving the recruitment order.

Looking at the overview interface of the territory and pondering for a moment, Lei Xiao chose to receive 10 second-level recruitment orders to prepare for the next step of upgrading the lord's mansion to expand the population.

"The resources needed for the next upgrade of the mansion, in addition to the old three basic resources of stone, wood, thatch, and the three advanced resources of iron ingots, copper ingots, and fine steel ingots, there is also a new resource of extraordinary ingots. "

"Needless to say the first six, as my sphere of influence grows, even fine steel ingots are no longer a problem, and only the last new resource, the Brilliant Brilliant Ingot, remains."

"This is a level 4 rare resource, refined from the Brilliant Brilliant Ore, but there is no clue about the place of origin. Go back and tell your subordinates to inquire about the Brilliant Brilliant Ingot."

After making up his mind, Lei Xiao sat down in the lord's office, first ordered the main powerhouses to take turns by reading, and then began to listen to the latest battle situation of the commander's subordinates.

Lei Xiao learned about it through the reports of his subordinates.

First of all, Caroline and others have successfully returned to the Buluo Fortress.

It is worth mentioning that although the Pals Empire immediately sent a large army to test after receiving the news that Caroline's northern army appeared in the star-watching corridor, they were stopped by Caroline and others in time, so they simply did not Any surprises.

"I'm afraid the generals of the Pars Empire couldn't figure out why Caroline and the others crossed half of the Lengyan Kingdom in an instant."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and continued to listen.

Secondly, all the surrendered soldiers have been escorted back to the three cities of Wangwangxing, Fenglong, and Shuiyue, a total of more than 160,000 people, a little more than expected.

According to previous experience, Lei Xiao also instructed the guards Tran, Ed and others how to act, and convert these surrendered soldiers into our forces as soon as possible.

In the end, the two armies going north and south went like a broken bamboo all the way, and the counterattack was very smooth.

The former has captured 3 opposing cities including Ice Armor City, while the latter has also captured 4 opposing cities including Lute City.

As for other cities, they are still stepping up their strategies.

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, his face full of joy.

This undoubtedly means that after the 33 cities in the eastern region including Shuiyue and Fenglong, the number of Lengyan cities under his control has reached 40!

"But it's clearly not the end, it's just the beginning."

After listening to the reports from his subordinates, Lei Xiao's gaze was like a torch, and he thought in his heart.

Now that the general trend is basically set, all I need to do next is to prepare the celebration banquet and plan the follow-up actions.

"The new defeat of the first prince and the second prince coincides with the low and weak morale. Naturally, I must gather all my strength as quickly as possible, and strive to wipe the two from the road to the throne as soon as possible."

"It's not rude to come and go. This time, you took advantage of my weakness to attack me. Then it's my turn to do so next time."

Lei Xiao stood up from his seat, a faint smile emerged from the corner of his mouth.

Just like what I thought before, to accomplish all of this, the entire northern border must be pacified first.

However, just as Lei Xiao was thinking about how to get the entire northern territory into his pocket quickly.

In the distant kingdom's capital, there is another force hidden in the dark, holding the same idea as Lei Xiao, slowly surfacing from the shadows, and has already begun to attack the first and second princes.

A bloody battle that is about to sweep across the entire capital is about to begin.
