Lord of the People: My Talent is 100 Million Points Strong

Chapter 779 Heading to Holy Night

Following a flash of gray-white light, Lei Xiao and his group returned to the territory first.

The ice demon Gals had just seen the light of day again, and his body was still weak. Lei Xiao would naturally not let him run around too hard.

The two half-elf priests who are good at healing are also not suitable for going to the Kingdom of Holy Night.

After all, Lei Xiao clearly understood that what he needed to do next was to penetrate into the center of the Holy Night Army where there were so many powerful people.

When other main subordinates are in place, there is no need to put these precious and purely therapeutic subordinates with limited combat capabilities at risk.

"Xueya, Fasha, it's still the same as before, you can stay in the territory with Senior Gars."

In front of the gate of the lord's mansion, Lei Xiao nodded to the two territorial alchemists: "Take Senior Gals to familiarize yourself with the territory. I have already arranged the room. Just ask Ward directly."

"As ordered, Lord, please rest assured."

Xue Ya and Fa Xia touched their chests and saluted at the same time, saying in unison.

"Senior Gars, while I am away, the territory will be left to you to take charge."

Lei Xiao nodded to the ancestor of the Bingliu family, then turned to the two half-elf priests, and continued: "Elder Al, Elder Lanke, thank you for your hard work this time."

"Lord, what are you talking about?"

Al, whose face was glowing red, quickly touched his chest and saluted, bowed and said: "It is a great honor for these old guys under me to be able to see the lord's grace up close!"

After Al finished speaking, Lanke, who was beside him, also took a step forward and echoed: "You are right, Lord Lord, these are things that subordinates should do!"

"With wise older men like you sitting in charge of the territory, I will no longer have any worries."

Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and ordered the five fourth-level experts to return to their respective positions.

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao called the four people Lian, Chaoyan, Nanxing and Nanyue who were originally staying in the territory.

Together with the original six people, Gracilaria, Polygonum, Hong Ye, Erza, Ye Cang, and Ariel, a new ten-person subordinate team was formed, and they were ready to go to the Holy Night Kingdom.

As for Ju Bai, who followed him back to the territory, he still had important official duties assigned by Lei Xiao just now and needed to go back to take charge of the work. He was unable to follow the action this time.

"Okay, let's go."

When the main force and subordinates were all in place, Lei Xiao nodded to Jiang Lei.

"As you command, Lord."

Following Jiang Li's command, he raised his hand to draw a graceful gray six-pointed star, and the group left the territory instantly.

After that, Lei Xiao first sent Ju Bai back to the Fortress of Flowing End, and then went directly to the Mountain Fortress, which is the terminal station of the teleportation network.

Lei Xiao not only needs to go to the Holy Night Kingdom through here, but also needs to further strengthen Bai Lao's confidence.

Lei Xiao clearly understood that even a kingdom general who had experienced hundreds of battles would not be able to calm down when facing such a huge opponent.

The mountain fortress is the eastern gateway to the territory, so there must be no mistakes.

Sure enough, after Lei Xiao notified the members of the Shadow Squadron stationed at the Mountain Fort Fortress to inform Mr. Bai, he just teleported to the meeting hall of the Mountain Castle Fortress. Mr. Bai, who had been waiting here, immediately greeted him.

"Your Excellency, you are finally here!"

Although Bai Lao's resolute old face did not show any anxiety or timidity, the urgency in his words and eyes was already very obvious.

"General Bai, I already know everything."

Lei Xiao nodded to Mr. Bai, smiled calmly and said: "It seems that the other party did not miss this opportunity to take advantage of the situation."

"I didn't expect that the Saint of the Moon Palace would personally take action and lead the 250,000 Holy Night Army to attack. This is equivalent to launching a full-scale national war. Those damn Holy Night Lords and powerful ministers are determined to add insult to injury this time. !”

Bai Lao's wrinkled old face was full of solemnity, he clenched his fists and said: "If the old king is not critically ill, even if he lends some courage to the new king of Shengye, the other party will never dare to march with such a big fanfare!"

After finishing speaking, Bai Lao's clenched fists dropped weakly again.

Even if he is, there is no way he can stop the 250,000-strong army.

"What is supposed to come will always come. Having illusions can only weaken our fighting spirit. Only an iron fist that is harder than the enemy is the eternal truth."

Lei Xiao still maintained a faint smile, nodded to the old general and said: "Don't worry, Old General Bai, just leave it to me this time."

"Your Excellency, Guest Minister, so you already have a good strategy to defeat the enemy?"

Looking at Lei Xiao's accomplished face, Bai Lao's old eyes lit up and he asked excitedly.

Of course, Bai Lao would not have any doubts about Lei Xiao's words.

This guest from another world has created many miraculous battles that can be recorded in history, and each time is so shocking and unexpected.

Maybe this time, we can really turn the tide again!

"Although I don't know the final result yet, I will try my best."

Lei Xiao's smile faded, and his face became serious again: "Before that, Old General Bai just needs to be prepared and everything will be done step by step."

"I understand, Your Excellency Ke Qing. With His Excellency Ke Qing's words, I feel relieved."

Bai Lao showed his eager eyes, and began to calm down again, and said with the same solemnity: "As long as I and this fortress army are still there, your Excellency, guest minister, can rest assured!"

"Thank you, General Bai, for your hard work. The recruitment work in various places is now proceeding in an orderly manner. Reinforcements will be delivered together with the ordnance and equipment I promised."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, smiled at the old general and said, "Business matters, we will stay soon."

"Have a nice trip, Your Excellency, guest sir."

Bai Lao stroked his chest and saluted, and quickly gave way to the road.

Then, under Bai Lao's watch, Lei Xiao and his party disappeared into the fortress' meeting hall.

The momentary feeling of weightlessness passed by, and when Lei Xiao's vision became clear again, he had arrived halfway up a mountain with a wide view.

"Okay, Jiang Li doesn't need to teleport. Let's go straight ahead. We'll just take a look at the city and folk customs of the Holy Night Kingdom."

Lei Xiao looked at the mist-shrouded mountains and rivers ahead and nodded to his subordinates.

According to the information from Dean, the army led by the Saint of the Moon Temple is currently near Kelly City, an important town in the west of the Holy Night Kingdom. According to the normal carriage journey, it takes about ten days to reach the mountain fortress.

But if you march quickly, you can reach the mountain fortress in five days.

Of course, for the extraordinary strength of Lei Xiao and his party, the journey is only three hours at most, and this is still in an environment where they are not very familiar with the topography of Holy Night.

In addition, although this time he needed to go deep into the enemy camp, Lei Xiao did not bring Bai Wei and other third-level subordinates with him, so he had no mounts to use for the time being.

But after Lei Xiao was promoted to the fourth level of powerhouse, both his own speed and the energy reserves in his body were no longer what they used to be. Coupled with the assistance of the power of the gods, he was enough to keep up with the speed of other subordinates.

"In the process of moving forward at a rapid pace, I can become more skillful in using the energy in my body and combining the power of the gods. It is also a kind of special practice."

Lei Xiao thought this while, surrounded by his subordinates, he began to move forward rapidly.

At the front of the team, Erza, who knows the Holy Night Kingdom best, is leading the team, so it will be no problem to reach the destination smoothly.

Accompanied by a gust of wind and lightning, Lei Xiao passed through several small fortresses and military camps of the Holy Night Army, and soon came to the long-lost Yaxiang Town.

I saw that the tranquility of the past had been restored here, and the houses that had been burned by the war had been repaired. The fields were busy with watering, and the windmills in the fields in the suburbs were running. It looked prosperous.

"I remember when I first came here, it was still a mess. It was completely different from the current scene. It really made people feel like they were in another world."

While Lei Xiao was sighing, he did not stop, but continued towards the hinterland of the Holy Night Kingdom.

Although the Holy Night Kingdom has many fortresses in this area, military camps are dotted all over the place, and the defense is extremely tight.

But for Lei Xiao and others whose strength is above level four and possess invisibility cloaks, there is no difference between them and being in name only.

After about half an hour, the road under their feet began to become smoother. After Lei Xiao and his party passed several fortresses and villages, a large city standing at the foot of the mountain appeared in front of them.

At a glance, this city is fortified and deep, surrounded by densely populated areas. Its scale is by no means inferior to that of Gelin City and Fanyin City.

"Lord, this is Fort Sali, an important border town of the Holy Night Kingdom. It is a fortress city integrating military and mineral resources."

Erza's crisp introduction sounded in Lei Xiao's ears: "As long as you pass through here, you have truly entered the hinterland of the western region of the Holy Night Kingdom."

"It seems we are getting closer to our destination."

Lei Xiao withdrew his observing gaze, nodded to the subordinates beside him and said, "Let's move on."

Then, the vision of Lei Xiao and his party began to become wider and wider, and soon they completely left the mountainous area and came to an endless emerald green plain.

I saw that the business roads here crisscrossed each other, and sometimes long caravans and escorting mercenaries passed by. It looked quite prosperous.

"Lord, the overall strength of the Holy Night Kingdom is almost the same as Leng Yan. It is indeed an extremely good opponent."

Ariel's clear voice reached Lei Xiao's ears through her words: "But what is different from the Cold Flame Kingdom is that except for the Moon Palace, which occupies half of the country, the top leaders of the Holy Night Kingdom are all controlled by noble families. The other nobles can only rely on a few wealthy families, and have almost no right to speak except for their respective fiefdoms."

"It's a bit interesting. This is indeed completely different from the three wealthy Lengyan families who are just making a fortune in their respective fiefdoms."

While chasing the wind and lightning, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and then asked: "The main point of conflict in Holy Night is not between the old and new aristocrats, but between ordinary aristocrats and aristocratic wealthy families, right?"

"Lord, you really hit the nail on the head."

Ariel's soft and respectful voice came over again: "The aristocratic families in Shengye are so powerful that they even change their orders day by day and formulate some laws that are only beneficial to their own fiefdoms, which attracts complaints from other middle and low-level nobles."

"As far as I know, in the history of the Holy Night Kingdom, there have even been several situations where middle and low-level nobles united and directly fought against each other. However, in the end, they all ended without any problem due to the coordination of the royal family. Instead, they caused a lot of trouble. fishy."

Ariel's voice gradually became a little confused: "But the Holy Night royal family has mostly turned a blind eye to this situation. Almost every king has allowed these wealthy families to act unscrupulously and rarely intervened."

"It's probably because the Moon Palace is a check and balance."

Lei Xiao smiled faintly and solved Ariel's confusion: "Just like Erza said, the responsibility of the Moon Palace is to fulfill the promise of the Dark Elf Queen and maintain the rule of the Holy Night Royal Family. Naturally, Don’t worry about a few wealthy families taking over the honors.”

"In addition, although I don't know the specific situation of Shengye Palace, I can imagine that the several wealthy families must also be checking and balancing each other, secretly coming and going. Otherwise, Dark Devour would not be allowed to do this. The killer organization grows."

Lei Xiao's eyes were as bright as fire and he continued: "And every Holy Night King only needs to balance the relationship between these people while ensuring the interests of the royal family. To a certain extent, this is comparable to directly governing all It’s much more convenient for nobles.”

"I completely understand, it turned out to be like this..."

Ariel's suddenly enlightened voice suddenly sounded: "It seems that I still have a lot to learn from the lord."

"I just said it casually, it's no big deal."

While chasing the wind and lightning, Lei Xiao, whose whole body was wrapped in an energy shield, smiled and said: "Ariel, the most important thing is that you must be good at using your own mind to think, so that you can truly see the essence of things."

The time spent on the road always flies by, and by noon, the outline of a city standing on the plain has slowly emerged on the distant horizon.

Along the way, through Ariel and Erza's explanations, Lei Xiao has already gained a preliminary understanding of the Kingdom of Holy Night, which will undoubtedly play a vital role in his subsequent meeting with Saint Teresa of the Moon Temple. role.

"I hope things will go smoothly. If the other party does not agree to suspend the attack, I am afraid everything will be in vain soon."

Lei Xiao looked at the increasingly clear city in the distance and slowly took a deep breath.

"Lord, ahead is Kelly City. According to Dean's secret report, the Holy Night Army led by Teresa will conduct a supply operation here."

Erza's slightly solemn voice reached Lei Xiao's ears through her words: "Judging from the time, the other party should be arriving soon."

"It seems that the timing is just right."

Hearing the tension in Erza's words, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, his voice calm and powerful.

"Then let me take a moment to find out what is so special about Saint Teresa of the Moon Temple who has led an army of 250,000 men."
