Chapter 1018 The Undercurrent at the Ceremony
Especially the Lengyan nobles present were so excited that many of them even had red eyes.
Six powerful people at the national level actually gathered together and were canonized in front of Her Majesty the Queen's throne. In the history of the Lengyan Kingdom, there has never been such an exciting moment!
This undoubtedly means that there will be six country-level powerful men who are willing to fight for the Lengyan Kingdom, to protect the royal power, and to protect everyone present!
How inspiring is this? They witnessed a new history!
Even the chief representatives of the neutral forces couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
Not to mention the small and medium-sized neutral forces, in this scene alone, the Leng Yan royal family had thrown them off countless streets.
As for the three major forces at the pinnacle of neutral organizations, the representatives of the Alchemist Guild, the Mercenary Guild, and the Temple of Light all had equally awe-inspiring expressions on their faces.
Although the size of the six national-level powerhouses is still not comparable to them, it is already the highest among any human nation.
In the huge auditorium, the only ones who had mixed emotions such as disdain and solemnity towards this scene were naturally the diplomats from other human nations.
At present, the overall strength of the Cold Flame Kingdom has been greatly reduced, but the number of top experts has increased instead of falling. If it recovers its strength, what will happen?
What's more, although the Lengyan Kingdom is now severely damaged and waiting to be revitalized, the new Lengyan Queen has the help of the outsider.
Not only did it eliminate the worms in the kingdom such as the fallen nobles, but it also caused the three wealthy families that already coveted the royal power to surrender. This undoubtedly greatly reduced the power of the royal family and enhanced the majesty of the royal family.
Moreover, this guest from another world had just gained the immense power of the Leng Yan Kingdom legally, and even had an ambiguous relationship with the new queen.
In other words, this will bring the originally distraught Lengyan Kingdom back under the jurisdiction of the royal family, and will make the entire Lengyan Kingdom work together as if a sick lion is about to wake up.
Therefore, no matter what, we must completely destroy the sick lion while it is still confused in order to eliminate any worries.
As for the six fifth-level powerhouses at the national level, it is really scary to mention them alone, but in the final analysis, the Lengyan Kingdom is only one of the seven human kingdoms, not to mention that it is attacked from all sides, and there is no room for buffering.
No matter how strong a sick lion is, it can fight a fierce tiger, but can it still resist a group of tigers attacking from all directions at the same time?
Thinking of this, a group of diplomats from other countries exchanged vague glances with each other, their hearts full of teasing and disdain.
Of course, on the surface, they were no different from anyone else and were still celebrating the greatest ceremony of the Cold Flame Kingdom.
"The Shangwei family, the Lancaster family, and the Yorkman family have returned from their lost ways, and the culprits have all been punished. I declare that Lin Shanglu is appointed as the head of the Shanglu family, and Isaac Lancaster is appointed as the head of the Lancaster family. Patriarch, appoint Colson Yorkman as the Patriarch of the Yorkman Family!”
After Marquis Redford finished speaking, Lin, Isaac and Colson took a step forward at the same time. While kneeling on one knee to salute the king and his ministers, they solemnly said to Ariel: "I thank my king, long live my king. God bless my king!”
"I hope you can make up for your mistakes and regain the lost glory as soon as possible."
On the throne, Ariel's fair face was full of grace, and she said: "In addition, the Shangwei family has made outstanding achievements in the battle at Kel's Fort. The elders and legion commanders of each clan commanded them well, and the soldiers fought bravely. They are worthy of being one of the richest families in the kingdom. Name, I will choose a day to visit Lion Heart City in person and personally reward these brave soldiers."
"My king is so kind and kind, I would like to express my gratitude to my king!"
Lin still kept kneeling on one knee and said excitedly.
"You deserve this."
Ariel nodded slightly and waved her hand to signal the three wealthy family heads to stand up.
Then, Marquis Ruifford's voice rang out again: "The eight generals of the royal family represent the kingdom's force and glory, and their positions are extremely important. Although some rebellious officials and traitors have fallen during this turmoil, new generals are also rising."
"Hod Falcon Spear is specially appointed as the royal cavalry general and leads the royal cavalry regiment!"
"Benson Ivey is specially canonized as the Royal Demon Hunting General and leads the Royal Demon Hunting Legion!"
"Specially ennoble Shuanghua Oak as the royal heavy artillery general, commanding the royal heavy artillery regiment!"
"Specially confer Bai Zhi Yuebai as the Royal Arrow General, commanding the Royal Arrow Army!"
"Other than that, the positions of Giant Ax General Bert, Holy Light General Ju Bai, Fortress General Bai Lao, and Blade General Hilda remain unchanged, and their titles have all been raised by one level to show their great military exploits!"
As Fred's words fell, the eight people whose names were called walked out of the queue, knelt down in front of Ariel with solemn faces, and said in unison: "Your Majesty, thank you my king, long live my king, God bless my king!"
Needless to say, these kingdom generals were all canonized by Lei Xiao.
Needless to say, Hodder, Benson, and Marquis Rose have demonstrated outstanding abilities in previous wars, making them more than qualified to serve as generals of the kingdom.
As for promoting Bai Zhi to General Lijian, Lei Xiao mainly had two considerations.
First, only Bai Zhi's archery skills and superb skills are enough to be qualified for the position of General Sharp Arrow.
Secondly, Lei Xiao's next step is to find ways to recruit the Zhuyue clan to return to the Cold Flame Kingdom to further enhance the kingdom's overall strength.
Therefore, the fact that there are half-elves such as Jiang Li and Bai Zhi serving as high-level officials in the royal family is enough to prove that Lei Xiao is not trying to make a fool of himself.
In addition, Bai Zhi, as the deputy commander of the territory, has always performed very well, arranging everything in the territory in an orderly manner. The half-elf archers under her command have also made outstanding achievements many times, and they are not far behind in terms of ability.
Needless to say, the other four king generals, Bert and Ju Bai, have always been the main force under Lei Xiao. Hilda and Bai Lao have already proven their strength and loyalty, so there is no need to change.
As for Orr, who also had great military exploits, although he was a good commander and qualified to be a general of the kingdom, his achievements in government affairs were even better and he played an unparalleled role.
Whether it is the arrangement of the garrison and the supply of food and fodder for dozens of our legions, or the handling of many matters such as the return of troops to their hometowns, the recruitment of new soldiers, etc., everything is coordinated and there is no need for Lei Xiao to worry too much.
Therefore, Lei Xiao is planning to let Orr serve as the prime minister of the kingdom to further assist Ariel in governing the Cold Flame Kingdom.
With the return of the eight kingdom generals, Orr's appointment was announced.
"The Orfengchi family has been loyal to the royal family for generations. They are full of knowledge and foresight. They are worthy of great responsibilities. They have made great achievements for me and are specially appointed as the prime minister of the kingdom!"
After hearing this appointment, even though Lei Xiao had already revealed a little to Al in advance, Al's resolute face was still full of excitement. He quickly stepped forward, bowed his head deeply towards Ariel and said: "I thank my king, long live my king, God bless my king!"
You know, back then he just left the royal capital as an insignificant court magician. Unexpectedly, when he returned again, he was appointed by the lord to the high position of head of the palace. How could this not make him extremely excited?
Thinking of this in his mind, although Al shouted long live my king, the real king in his heart was naturally self-evident.
After that, according to Lei Xiao's wishes, Ariel also successively appointed the three important positions of Minister of Law, Minister of Finance, and Royal Judge to three senior nobles who were born as city lords: Ed, Tran, and Moon. .
As for other positions such as Minister of Agriculture, Minister of Hunting, Forest Ranger, Ceremony Officer, Herald Officer, Stable Master, etc., they were all given to other noble families loyal to the royal family.
These are the results of discussions between Ariel and the old king when they were in the dormant dreamland. With the old king's eyesight, it is naturally impossible to see them wrong.
In addition to the main subordinates such as Ye Cang, Sarah, Chaoyan, Gars, Randall, Lian, and Lina, Lei Xiao still needs to stay by his side. Although he did not get an official position, he still has He was canonized as a cold flame noble of intermediate level or above.
As for the subordinates in the territory, Ariel does not need to canonize them one by one. With Lei Xiao's status as the Grand Duke, he can just canonize them himself.
In other words, the entire eastern region of Lengyan has actually become a principality ruled by Lei Xiao, but Lei Xiao cannot focus his energy on it.
"I still have Xuan Yue, Ging Guo, Bran, Maier, Nate, Ned, Maia, Lixia, Reese, Guanzhong, Vasong, Yaer, Os, Wood, Celia, Donna, With the assistance of Tina, Tia, Ryan, Kerr and others, plus the main subordinates and territorial subordinates, controlling the eastern region will naturally be no problem."
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, thinking about it in his mind.
"The north is controlled by Caroline, the Northern City Lords and Crystal Blue City, the west of Cold Flame is controlled by Isaac's Lancaster family, and the south is controlled by Coulson's Yorkman family. There are no problems. .”
"At the same time, I will continue to dispatch some capable direct subordinates in the name of the royal family to the areas controlled by these two wealthy families to assist the two subordinate family heads in the management, and further improve the control of these two areas."
"As for the central area where the royal capital is located, the Shangwei family led by Lin and the assistance of Orr and others will soon stabilize."
Lei Xiao took a deep breath slowly, his eyes bright.
Ariel has been successfully crowned, and everyone does not need to worry about it.
In this way, the focus of the next thing can be entirely on enhancing one's own strength as soon as possible.
"Except for the Zhuyue clan and wooing small and medium-sized neutral forces, I have to upgrade all the treasure troves of the Leng Yan royal family and the three wealthy families as soon as possible."
"At the same time, we will also carry out batch replacement of equipment for the legions in various regions, and then upgrade the replaced equipment."
"By the way, the resources needed for the lord's mansion and the miracle buildings in the territory must be found as soon as possible, and the construction of the territory must not be left behind."
Lei Xiao's eyes moved and fell on the calm-looking diplomats from various countries in the auditorium.
"Except for the Iron Hand Islands, which are cut off from all human nations, are all the people from the Pars Empire, Grim Kingdom, Prairie Kingdom, Holy Night Kingdom, and Canlan Federation here?"
Lei Xiao's face was calm, but his heart became more solemn.
You must know that the country behind everyone here has the ability to easily assemble an army of millions, and the overall national strength is even better than the current Cold Flame Kingdom.
With the current strength of myself and the entire Cold Flame Kingdom, I can still protect myself by focusing on dealing with one of them. However, if the two countries attack at the same time and fall into a two-front battle, the outcome will be unknown.
If the three countries launch an attack at the same time with the strength of the whole country, with the current strength of the major border fortresses, they will all be broken through soon without any suspense.
By then, it will be self-evident that the Lengyan Kingdom and territory will be completely destroyed.
If the situation is even worse, how should I deal with it?
What's more, it is still unknown whether the Black Abyss Brotherhood, which is bound to take revenge, controls other royal families, and whether they will take the opportunity to add insult to injury.
"I'm afraid there will be new news in the next two days. No matter how secretive the other party's actions are, there will never be any traces of the movement of the army."
"After all, the three wealthy families and the royal family have complete intelligence networks. Once the other party makes any changes, I will get the news as soon as possible."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao, who was well aware of the current crisis, slowly took a deep breath.
War is inevitable, and the opponent will definitely see blood when he takes action, leaving him little time.
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, the grand coronation ceremony was coming to an end.
Ariel, surrounded by Hong Ye, Jiang Li and others, began to leave slowly, and the guests naturally touched their chests and saluted again, expressing their due respect to the new queen of Leng Yan.
After Ariel disappeared at the end of the auditorium, the guests present also began to leave the auditorium in an orderly manner under the guidance of the royal guards.
During this process, some Lengyan nobles originally wanted to further develop their relationship with Lei Xiao, but when they arrived at the chief position, Lei Xiao had already disappeared.
"Lord, my subordinate's performance just now was okay, right?"
In the extremely luxurious king's exclusive lounge in the Lion's Castle, Ariel, who had changed into a casual dress, nestled on Lei Xiao's shoulder, with a caressing look on her face. She had long since lost the majesty and grace of the queen.
Ariel blinked her long eyelashes and said to Lei Xiao in a serious manner: "When I conferred the title on the lord, my subordinates were extremely nervous because they were afraid that the lord would be dissatisfied."
"I'm very satisfied with your performance today."
Lei Xiao patted Ariel's head and said with a smile, "My little princess has finally grown up to be the queen of a country."
"It's all thanks to the lord. Without the help of the lord, how could I be where I am today?"
Ariel got into Lei Xiao's arms, and there was a hint of determination in her starry eyes: "As long as the lord is by my side, my subordinates will have nothing to fear!"
After saying that, Ariel seemed to realize something, and she straightened up quickly, and said sternly to Lei Xiao: "Lord, my subordinates also know that we don't have much time left to prepare. Those countries of tigers and wolves are very They will attack us soon, how should we respond next?" (End of Chapter)
