Chapter 1224 The Lord Enters the Palace
After thoroughly demonstrating his new strength to Ariel, Lei Xiao's pressure accumulated during this period was swept away, and he felt refreshed.
After that, as it was already late, the two did not do anything else but slept the first sound sleep since they entered the Kingdom of Grimm.
The next morning, the first thing Lei Xiao did was to return to the territory and carry out his daily routine.
Although this period is extremely busy, these are always the things that Lei Xiao must do and he never misses a single day.
After all, the transmission network between the Lengyan Kingdom and the Grimm Kingdom has already been unblocked, and it would not delay Lei Xiao for a few minutes.
As for the loss of territory, it was minimal.
After all, the territory covers a relatively small area, and with the full energy provided by the garrisoned subordinates, the absolute protective barrier was not broken by countless roots like the Lion City. Only many of the buildings serving as barracks on the periphery were damaged, and Lei Xiao had already repaired them.
After arranging everything in the territory, Lei Xiao stood at the gate of the lord's mansion and nodded to Jiang Xi beside him.
According to the planned plan, the next thing to do is to deal with the alliance forces that are still trapped in the Eversleeping Canyon.
But before that, there was one more thing he needed to do, which was to say hello to Therese and tell her his ultimate goal.
As for the ultimate goal, it is naturally to control the entire Holy Night Kingdom.
Accompanied by a flash of gray light, this time, Lei Xiao appeared in front of the gate of Bingshi City.
"I have made an appointment with Theresa to meet directly in the Holy Night Capital, Night Court City."
"Ye Ting City is located in the heart of the central area of the Holy Night Kingdom, so using Ice Stone City for teleportation is undoubtedly the best choice. After all, Jiang Xi has not yet completely built the teleportation network for the human world at this stage."
While thinking this, Lei Xiao stepped into this divine land that had long belonged to him.
In the blink of an eye, when Lei Xiao walked out of the gate of Bingshi City again, a huge city with many connections and exuding an ancient and magnificent atmosphere came into view. It was the capital of the Holy Night Kingdom, Ye Ting City.
"The history of Night Court City is much longer than that of Lion City. It has stood on this land for a thousand years. Seeing it today, it is indeed extraordinary and is not inferior to the capitals of other countries at all."
Lei Xiao looked up at the tall and thick city wall in front of him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then walked into the gate of this ancient royal capital accompanied by Bing Lao, Xiao Jie, Jiang Xi and several other main subordinates.
After entering the city, Lei Xiao noticed further.
Compared with Lion City, although this place has initially recovered from the ravages of the roots and resumed normal life and carried out repair work, the mood of the residents is obviously much lower, and they all look panic-stricken.
This is no wonder. As the Prince of the Holy Lion, the news that he led all the strong men to defeat the Son of the Evil God and saved the human world has spread throughout the human world.
However, the Holy Night Kingdom had previously stood on the opposite side of itself as an enemy, and the invading army was trapped in the Eversleeping Valley with their lives uncertain. It was not surprising that this situation had occurred.
After all, there have been many cases of tyrants taking revenge in the course of history.
"But I'm not a tyrant. The more uncertain they are and the more they fear me, the better opportunity it is for me to increase my reputation. What I need is the power of the entire human world. If I can use that power, why should I kill them all?"
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to observe the situation in Yeting City.
Of course, he would not let any of the Holy Night war factions and minions who sided with the Evil God's Chosen Son go, and they must be eliminated completely.
It didn't take long before Lei Xiao arrived at the inner city of Ye Ting City, where the Holy Night Palace was located.
"Your Highness, you are here."
At the main gate of the palace in Night Court City, after seeing Lei Xiao's figure, Theresa, who had been waiting there for a long time, immediately came forward to greet him.
Next to Theresa, there was a chivalrous female knight in plain clothes, who was naturally Lei Xiao's subordinate and Holy Night liaison officer, Kara.
"Your Excellency, the Saint, how are you?"
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and then walked towards the interior of the palace under the guidance of the other party.
Originally, according to Theresa's idea, she was going to hold a grand welcome ceremony for Lei Xiao with the standards of a king. As a hero who saved the human world, he was naturally worthy of any grand ceremony.
But after thinking it over again and again, Lei Xiao did not agree to the other party's proposal, but chose to travel in a low-key manner.
After all, the human world is currently in a state of disrepair, and there is no need to waste energy and resources on these unimportant aspects. Moreover, the Holy Night Army is still trapped in the Eversleeping Canyon, and it is obviously not the time to hold the ceremony. This can be seen from the uneasy atmosphere in the city.
"Your Highness, this time you have truly become a great hero of the entire human world."
On the palace avenue filled with birdsong and flowers, Therese's eyes sparkled, and her words revealed a touch of sincere respect. As she walked, she said, "In addition, His Royal Highness's strength has also risen rapidly. I didn't expect that he is now on par with me."
Theresa's respect became more obvious as she continued, "I have to say, Your Highness always surprises and shocks people."
After saying that, Theresa glanced at Bing Lao and Xiao Jie behind Lei Xiao with a look of awe on her face.
Although Theresa's strength was only level five and one star, as a dark elf who had seen many powerful dark elves, she could still distinguish them clearly.
The aura emanating from the old man and the young man was extremely powerful, and their every move could cause the space to tremble slightly. This undoubtedly meant that both of them had reached the sixth level that even fifth-level warriors could not dream of!
Being able to gain the loyalty of two sixth-level powerhouses, Lei Xiao has obviously reached a new height, far beyond the scope of any human monarch.
"You are too polite, Your Excellency. It is thanks to Your Excellency's scroll of manifestation that I was able to make such a great progress."
Lei Xiao looked at the neatly trimmed and exquisite gardens around him, smiled slightly and said, "The Saint Lady has also made an indelible contribution to my success today."
"Your Highness is too kind. Compared with your Highness who turned the tide, I am not even the icing on the cake. At most, I have done my best. If your Highness had not defeated the source of evil, even I and this palace would have been ruined here."
Theresa's words revealed a hint of gratitude, and then she raised her eyebrows and said, "It is precisely because of your Royal Highness's fierce tactics that I was able to turn the passive situation into the active one."
After saying that, Theresa looked around and saw that the Holy Night soldiers patrolling and standing guard were all wearing the emblem of the Moon Palace, and the Moon Palace flags were planted everywhere.
This undoubtedly means that the entire palace is under her control.
“It’s really a reassuring scene.”
Lei Xiao had naturally noticed this a long time ago, and smiled slightly and said, "By the way, why did Her Excellency the Saint ask me to meet here instead of the Moon Palace?"
"Your Highness, you are asking questions even though you already know the answer."
Theresa responded calmly, "At present, the Cold Flame Kingdom, the Grimm Kingdom, the Verdant Kingdom, and the Iron Hand Islands are all following the lead of His Royal Highness. The reason why His Royal Highness came to me first is to discuss how to control the Holy Night Kingdom, right?"
"Yes, I would like to hear the advice of Her Excellency the Saint."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and responded: "After all, Your Excellency the Saint is not an outsider. She is my most important partner. I will naturally not let you be caught in the middle."
"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. Now the matter is very simple."
Theresa smiled and continued, "As long as it is confirmed that the new King of Holy Night has not been bewitched by the source of evil, Your Highness only needs to subdue him, just like Erza did. In this way, the Kingdom of Holy Night will fall into the hands of Your Highness."
"If the new king is bewitched, His Royal Highness can simply choose another member of the Holy Night Royal Family to be crowned."
After hearing Theresa's straightforward words, Lei Xiao couldn't help but be stunned.
Although Lei Xiao did think so, he didn't expect it to come out of Therese's mouth first.
After all, Therese is the Saint of the Moon Palace and the guardian appointed by the Dark Elf Kingdom, responsible for the important task of protecting the Holy Night Kingdom.
"Your Highness, don't be surprised. It's only a matter of time before you rule the human world. How can my Holy Night Kingdom remain immune? This is just an inevitable result."
Theresa still maintained a faint smile and responded, "Only by doing this can the Holy Night Kingdom fall into your hands without bloodshed, and I can also report to Her Majesty the Dark Elf Queen."
At this point, Theresa raised her eyebrows and said, "Your Highness, you don't want to conflict with the Dark Elf Kingdom, do you?"
"The Dark Elf Kingdom is the homeland of you and Erza. It's better to be friends than enemies."
Lei Xiao shrugged and said bluntly: "Besides, my next goal is to get out of this corner of the human world. Perhaps the Dark Elf Kingdom will become my indispensable ally."
"Your Highness really has great ambitions."
This time it was Theresa's turn to be stunned, and she smiled awkwardly.
Having grown up in the Dark Elf Kingdom, she understood it clearly.
Although Lei Xiao reigns over the human world, he can be regarded as the number one person in the human world since the blank era. He is unprecedented and unrivaled, and he has also greatly increased the strength of the human world.
But even if the entire human race were to gather together, they would still be no match for the Dark Elf Kingdom, not even half of it. This is the power of the outlander races.
What's more, although they are reluctant to admit it, the Dark Elf Kingdom, which has been declining for nearly a thousand years, can only be regarded as a second-rate or even third-rate force in the outside world at best. This is evident from this.
To those top-notch forces that have hidden themselves from the world, humans are no different from ants.
"Are you ambitious? When I was just a small lord of Kongqing City and had my eyes on the Lengyan Kingdom, someone once said so. Now, I have stood at the top of the human world."
Lei Xiao immediately understood the meaning of Theresa's words and smiled slightly, "The world is unpredictable. No one can predict what will happen in the future, right?"
"Your Highness is right. Perhaps one day I will be able to proudly tell everyone in the Dark Elf Kingdom that this young man is my best friend. He will bring glory and a brand new future to the Dark Elves."
Theresa's eyes sparkled with brilliance, and she smiled as well, "I'm really looking forward to that day."
“Maybe that day won’t be too far away.”
When Lei Xiao said this, a heavily guarded ancient castle had already appeared in front of the group.
"Your Highness, that is the core of the palace, Wangye Castle. I have gathered the new King of Holy Night and all the ministers in the King's Hall, waiting for your arrival."
Theresa nodded to Lei Xiao, and her expression became serious. She said solemnly, "I only know that someone must have been bewitched by the source of evil, but I can't tell who it is. Your Highness, please find out these bad apples while you are at it."
"Don't worry, I have my own way to distinguish them."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and immediately quickened his pace.
Under Theresa's guidance, it didn't take long for Lei Xiao and his party to pass through the castle's numerous defenses and arrive at the King's Hall of the Holy Night Kingdom.
As the two huge doors of the hall were pushed open, a loud roll call sounded: "The savior of the human world, His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince of the Cold Flame Kingdom has arrived!"
For a moment, the king's hall, which had been in turmoil, suddenly fell silent.
Under the gaze of hundreds of high-ranking nobles of Holy Night, a tall and heroic young man walked slowly in on the red carpet.
Needless to say, this is Lei Xiao.
At the same time, he is also the first person in nearly a thousand years to enter the Hall of Power of the Holy Night Kingdom with guards as a conqueror.
Behind Lei Xiao, Therese, Bing Lao, Xiao Jie, Jiang Li, Tiger Stick, Hong Ye and eight fifth-order alchemical puppet dark guardians who had recovered from the previous battle and were responsible for leading the way stood in a neat line, causing waves of vast momentum that shook the heavens and the earth to rise into the sky and shake the hearts of every prince and noble of the Holy Night.
Looking at Lei Xiao's terrifyingly luxurious display, all the Holy Night nobles couldn't help but swallow their saliva, their scalps suddenly felt numb, and they didn't even dare to breathe.
Even the new King of Holy Night, who was sitting high up in the throne, immediately jumped up from the throne and stood there at a loss.
You know, for an ordinary king to have two fifth-rank nation-guarding strongmen as guards is already the best among the human race.
And Lei Xiao's luxurious lineup obviously goes far beyond this scope!
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Lei Xiao is willing, he only needs to move his fingers, and in the blink of an eye, this place, which is the highest power hall of the Holy Night Kingdom, will undoubtedly be turned into a river of blood and a purgatory on earth.
"Everyone, this is His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince who just saved the human world. Is this how our Holy Night Kingdom treats guests?"
Seeing the scene fall into dead silence, Theresa's fair face showed a gloomy look, and she spoke sternly to everyone.
Hearing the voice, the new King of Holy Night standing in front of the throne was startled, then he crawled down the platform and came straight to Lei Xiao.
