Chapter 1018: Ariel''s Tips


    Looking at Ariel''s clear starry eyes filled with worry, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and saidfortingly: "Don''t worry, I''m already dealing with the next crisis."


    "Just like what you said when you were crowned just now, the sleeping Lion King has awakened. The Lion King''s fangs are still there and the sharp ws are not broken. They will only be sharper in the tempering of blood and fire."


    However, despite what he said, Lei Xiao understood clearly in his heart.


    The powerful enemy we face this time is by no meansparable to any previous opponent.


    After all, even the three cold me giants we faced in Kyle Castle only represented half of the cold me kingdom''sbat power, but they had already put themselves on the verge of life and death several times.


    Once the other side takes action this time, it will definitely use all the strength of the country tounch a ruthless war to destroy the country. The purpose is topletely destroy us in our infancy.


    Moreover, the strength of each opponent isparable to our current one, or even stronger.


    In other words, even if an opponent attacks from one direction, I will face more than twice the pressure of Kelburg. This is an unprecedented life and death challenge.


    What if opponents from two directions, or even three directions, attack at the same time? The level of danger will increase exponentially.


    "Thinking about it this way, the thrilling battle at Kelburg that almost cost me my life several times is nothingpared to the next battle to destroy the country."


    Thinking of this, although his heart was extremely solemn, Lei Xiao still showed a calm face and told Ariel all about his next n.


    As the Holy Lion Prince of the Cold me Queen, as the Protector of the Cold me Kingdom, as Ariel''s lord, and as Ariel''s man, Lei Xiao naturally would not show any worries or worries.


    "As expected of the lord."


    After listening to Lei Xiao''s description, Ariel''s clear starry eyes suddenly showed a sense of security. She nodded heavily and said: "During the time of the ancestral hero king, there were as many as a dozen members of the Zhuyue n. With a scale of ten thousand people, after hundreds of years of development in the Cold me Kingdom, the poption has be even more prosperous."


    "Because of this, the half-elves of the Zhuyue n were strong enough to be called the four most powerful families in the Cold me Kingdom at that time, along with the Phya, Lancaster, and Yorkman ns."


    "It is precisely because of this that the Zhuyue n was envied and coveted by other nobles. In addition, several sessive kings at that time listened to the nder and became suspicious, so that they were eventually expelled from the Cold me Kingdom."


    Having said this, Ariel lowered her eyebrows and sighed softly.


    You must know that the half-elves'' archery skills are the best among human nations, and their agility and potential in their blood are far better than ordinary human soldiers. They are indeed an extremely powerful force.


    The most important thing is that the half-elves sacrificed their lives for the Kingdom of Lengyan. In every war, the Kingdom of Lengyan was at the forefront. Until a period of rtive peace, the royal family at that time undoubtedly made a clear move. The matter of killing a donkey.


    Ariel had carefully read through the history of that time. In the former fiefdom of the Zhuyue n, the half-elves not only had no problem with the local human race civilian Qiu, but also farmed and trained together. They also left all their wealth when they left, and even None of the weapons and equipment issued by the kingdom were taken away.


    After subsequent investigation, it was found that the money, food and materials umted by the half-elves had been kept at a minimum level, and everything else was turned over to the royal family without any trace of deviance.


    "They just want a ce to live, but they are still being kicked out without mercy."


    Ariel shook her head helplessly and sighed again.


    Originally, in Ariel''s ideal, she was prepared to wee the return of the half-elves in a peaceful and prosperous era, but now, she can only rely on their power again.


    "Yes, it was indeed the royal family at that time that was sloppy."


    Lei Xiao froze his eyebrows, then smiled again and said: "I believe that as long as we show sincerity and sincerity, they will be willing to fight side by side with us again."


    Lei Xiao clearly understood that the key point in contacting the Zhuyue ny in Mia.


    Since his appearance is very simr to Wangyou, the leader of the Zhuyue n back then, he must not be an ordinary person.


    And judging from the fact that Mia became a mercenary and did almost anything for money, I am afraid that the Zhuyue n must have encountered some difficulties, and this was the breakthrough point for negotiating with them.


    "When I have time, I will be in contact with Mia."


    Lei Xiao nodded slightly, snapped his fingers lightly and said.


    "Lord, please give orders to your subordinates if necessary."


    Ariel nodded heavily, and then continued: "The Lord''s second method is also an extremely clever idea."


    "As far as I know, under the shadow of the three major neutral organizations, many small and medium-sized neutral organizations are living in the cracks."


    "Most of these small and medium-sized neutral organizations were founded by the unpopr fallen nobles of various countries or by the orphans of the destroyed country. After hundreds of years or even thousands of years of development, they have long distanced themselves from the original country. "


    "Although the strength of a single force is rtively limited, if it can be recruited to a certain number, it can indeed lead to qualitative changes, giving us a considerable improvement!"


    "After all, among these small and medium-sized forces, there are also many fourth-level and even fifth-level hidden powerhouses and ancient heritage hidden among them. They must not be ignored at will."


    When Ariel said this, she nodded to Lei Xiao and said: "My subordinates will list all the small and medium-sized neutral organizations registered with the royal family as soon as possible, and sort them ording to information such as the size of the power and the location of the headquarters, so as to facilitate The lord will conduct the screening!"


    "Then I''ll leave it all to you."


    Lei Xiao touched the head of the new Cold me Queen again, and immediately asked: "Ariel, do you have any other good ideas?"


    "Back to Lord, I do have two other ideas."


    I saw Ariel straightening up and sitting upright in front of Lei Xiao. She smiled and said, "The first is the Phantom n Temple underneath the Shanglu Family Lord''s Castle in Lion Heart City."


    "In the previous Battle of Kelburg, the other party helped us once. Maybe this time they can provide us with some useful suggestions or help."


    After hearing what Ariel said, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and said in deep thought: "It makes sense. I have seen the majestic Phantom n city in a fantasy world. Maybe we can really get it from each other." Some inspiration defensively.


    "After all, here we have four illusion masters, Xiao Huan, Erza, Xiao Ya and Mia."


    Lei Xiao clearly understood that the Cold me Kingdom extended in all directions, and the ces that needed to be defended were too scattered.


    From this, even if the fortress in one direction is stabilized, it will provide a certain degree of certainty of victory.


    Or even if it only blocks the army in one direction for a period of time, it will win extremely valuable fighter opportunities for us.


    Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao continued: "Furthermore, the Phantom Tribe has helped us a lot before. It is reasonable and reasonable for us to go back and say thank you."


    "The Lord is right, he is a trustworthy friend."


    Ariel''s starry eyes sparkled, and she continued: "As for the second idea, it is the mercenary guild."


    "Mercenary Guild?"


    Lei Xiao pondered and nodded, thoughtfully: "In the previous war, with the efforts of Randall and Donna, we did hire a lot of mercenaries, exceeding the size of 5 legions. Although It does not exert itsbat effectiveness on the frontal battlefield, but its auxiliary role in defending the mountain fortress and stabilizing the rear cannot be ignored."


    "However, the Mercenary Guild is, after all, a neutral organization throughout all human nations. If it involves a national war, it will never be used by us."


    Regarding the mercenaries, Lei Xiao has actuallymunicated with Randall, who is the senior mercenary leader of Lengyan.


    The answer is that no matter how generous the offer is, the mercenary guild has never participated in a war between one country and another.


    This is their bottom line as a neutral organization, and it is also the basis for their credibility to gain a foothold and be respected among the human nations.


    But there is one exception, that is, the Mercenary Guild allows domestic mercenaries to fight to protect their homnd.


    Therefore, in the process of recruiting new soldiers from various ces, Lei Xiao is also recruiting mercenaries from the Cold me Kingdom on arge scale. At present, it has probably reached the scale of 10 legions.


    However, these mercenaries are scattered all over Leng Yan. At best, they can only be used as a force to stabilize the rear. It is also difficult to y a role in the frontal battlefield.


    Thinking of this, Lei Xiao''s eyes lit up, as if he realized something, and he suddenly said to Ariel: "I understand, since we will hire domestic mercenaries to stabilize the cities in the rear, we will send more soldiers to On the front line, the other side will definitely do the same, so as to send out the entire nation''s troops to the maximum extent possible."


    "So, as long as we hire as many mercenaries as possible from other countries in advance and only allow them to operate on theirnd, the other party that cannot hire mercenaries will naturally have to leave more soldiers to defend their hometown in case something unexpected happens. !


    After Lei Xiao finished speaking, Ariel nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Lord, although this move has a rtively limited effect, it is also a way to reduce the opponent''s overall strength!"


    "As expected of my princess, this reminds me."


    Lei Xiao once again touched Ariel''s head affectionately, and immediately contacted Randall and the heads of the wealthy families, telling them to take action as soon as possible.


    With Lei Xiao''s current cash flow, it would be easy to hire hundreds of thousands of mercenaries.


    As for the specific employment method, it is very simple.


    All it takes is for the mercenary guilds in major cities in other countries to issue rtively simple hunting or gathering tasks with extremely generous rewards. This is enough to make the mercenaries flock to the mountains or forests to search frantically.


    When the other party wants to hire, there will naturally be a shortage of mercenaries. After all, both parties will sign an employment contract before epting the task, and there is no way to hire them again.


    "As one of the legendary mercenaries closest to the fifth-level powerhouse, Randall''swork resources are naturally spread all over the human nations, and the intelligenceworks of the three giants in each country are extremelyplete. The two cooperate with each other, and it is very easy to The task can be released soon."


    "Most of the Phya Trade Fair has branches in major cities in other countries. It ispletely easy toe up with funds to meet the preliminary work needs. I only need to provide Lin with the funds."


    Thinking of this, Lei Xiao gave Lin some special instructions.


    Afterpleting all of this, Lei Xiao couldn''t help but let out a long sigh of relief.


    As for going to the Phantom n Temple, you only need to stop by when upgrading the Phya Family Treasure House.


    "Lord, my subordinate will soon bring the crown and the holy sword to change the authority of all the magic restrictions in the royal treasure house. At that time, the lord can ess everything in it at will."


    Ariel''s starry eyes lit up, and she nodded to Lei Xiao again: "As for the two wealthy family heads, Isaac and Colson, they were teleported back to their respective fiefdoms just now by Sister Jiang Li, and they will soon be here. The treasure house will be sorted out."


    "Very good, then let''s split up."


    Lei Xiao smiled slightly, stood up immediately and said, "I''ll go to Mia first to try tomunicate with Zhuyue n."


    After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and first handed over themand authority of the two fifth-level alchemy puppets to Ariel in case something unexpected happened.


    Xuan even left the queen''s exclusive lounge under the moved gaze of the other party.


    "Mia has just attended the coronation ceremony. I have asked Erza and Xiaoya to take her to rest. The location is at the other end of the corridor."


    Lei Xiao thought this while walking along the quaint castle corridor.


    This is the exclusive area of the royal family, so no other noblese to disturb him. Only the royal servants and guards who pass by asionally respectfully caress their chests and salute Lei Xiao, expressing their loyalty and respect.


    In the blink of an eye, Lei Xiao opened the door to another lounge.


    As soon as he entered the door, Lei Xiao immediately heard the girl Chaoyan''s beaming voice.


    I saw her standing in the center of the lounge, holding arge piece of cream cake that she had taken a few bites of in one hand, and gesturing back and forth with the other hand: "That fifth-level alchemy puppet is scary, I almost cut it off." Half of my eyebrows were cut off!"


    Sitting in front of her were Erza, Xiaoya and Mia. They were outside the city at the time and did not know the fighting situation in the city. They were listening in rapt attention.


    "Why is it that girls like you are everywhere? You are already a fourth-level veteran, and you are also a noble Earl of the Kingdom. Can you have some aristocratic stability, even a little bit?"


    Lei Xiao casually gave Chaoyan a chestnut, and then the thrilling storytelling session ended.


    "I''ve met the lord!"


    Seeing Lei Xiao''s figure, including the aggrieved Chao Yan, the four people in the room immediately bowed and saluted. Even Mia quickly lowered her head, looking extremely respectful.


    For her, everything that happened in the past few days, including the Battle of Lionheart City, the Battle of Kell Castle, the entry into the royal capital, the triumphal ceremony, and the coronation ceremony just now, was like a dream. She was ttered, and it was still Commission paid in full!


    She was just an erratic mercenary before, how could she have received such top-notch treatment?
