Chapter 1225: The Glittering Palace and New Allegiance
"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Prince of the Holy Lion. Thank you for saving the entire human world and the Holy Night Kingdom!"
A timid voice sounded, and the young new King of Holy Night's legs went weak and he knelt down in front of Lei Xiao.
This kneeling immediately caused an uproar among the princes and nobles who were crowded around.
You know, as one of the seven powers in the human world, the Holy Night Kingdom has stood on this land for a thousand years. During this period, it has produced many talented people, shining generals, and has experienced countless battles.
Although there were defeats during the war, the Holy Night Kingdom never lowered its proud head to anyone.
But now, their supreme king put down his scepter, lowered his crown, and knelt in front of a young man from another world. This was simply despairing.
But after thinking about it, the Holy Night nobles felt relieved.
The young man from another world in front of him not only withstood the attacks of five armies of annihilation by himself, but also, with the assistance of the Alchemist Guild and the Mercenary Guild, led the strong men to attack the main hall of the Temple of Light, which had never fallen before. In the end, he eliminated the disaster for the human world and even saved the lives and property of everyone present among countless roots.
Such an epic and stunning feat is indeed enough to make any human monarch kneel down and sing praises to this supreme achievement.
Thinking of this in their hearts, the princes and nobles who ruled the Holy Night Kingdom could not help but make the same move. They all prostrated themselves at Lei Xiao's feet and said in unison: "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving the entire human world and the Holy Night Kingdom!"
"It's no big deal, just something that happens along the way."
Lei Xiao's calm gaze swept across these princes and nobles, and finally landed on the trembling new King of Holy Night at his feet. He said calmly: "Everyone, please stand up. Not long ago, the army of the Holy Night Kingdom almost left my territory littered with corpses. I can't afford such a great gift from you."
After hearing Lei Xiao's meaningful words, everyone lowered their heads even more. How could they dare to really raise their heads?
"Everyone, since His Royal Highness has spoken, we should not keep His Royal Highness waiting for too long."
After a long while, until Theresa's voice of relief was heard, the new King of Holy Night and the nobles stood up again tremblingly, and the whole place was still dead silent.
Lei Xiao looked at the new King of Holy Night who stood up again in front of him, and a look of scrutiny flashed across his eyes.
He looked like a nobleman, with a rather handsome face showing a hint of timidity and helplessness. He was indeed as the rumors said, a weak new king without his own opinion.
"However, it was precisely because of his character that I had time to grow and was not able to confront the Holy Night Kingdom's army of annihilation head-on when I was not strong enough."
Just as Lei Xiao was thinking about this, Theresa's voice of introduction sounded: "Your Highness, this is the new king of the Holy Night Kingdom, His Majesty Willy."
Before Lei Xiao could speak, the new king Willy said quickly, "Your Highness is of a distinguished status, and your achievements are unrivaled in the human world. You can be called the glory of the human race, and you are a role model that I can only dream of. So you can just call me Willy, no need to use a honorific title."
"Then I'll be blunt."
Lei Xiao was not polite and nodded slightly, saying: "Willie, although I really want to have a good chat with you right away, but before that, I still have one thing to do, which is to eliminate the last remnants of the source of evil."
"I believe you all know that although the source of evil has been annihilated, some of the minions of the Black Abyss Brotherhood who once helped it commit evil still remain among you. They are all enemies of the human race and must be punished as they deserve."
Lei Xiao's gaze began to become sharp, and he said coldly: "Then let's get started."
As Lei Xiao's voice fell, before everyone present could react, vast energy rose up from Xiao Jie's body, and a shining golden barrier quickly unfolded from her palm, instantly covering the entire hall.
All the minions of the Evil God's Chosen Son, including the Black Abyss Brotherhood, have been cursed to ensure that the secrets will not be leaked. As Xiao Jie, who had also been cursed by the Evil God's Chosen Son, naturally knows the energy fluctuations of the Evil God's Chosen Son best.
And this golden barrier can re-manifest the remaining curse power of the Evil God's Chosen Son.
As expected, as soon as the brilliant light of the golden barrier fell on the princes and nobles of Holy Night, faint black air suddenly emerged from the bodies of some of the nobles, just like a magic mirror.
In the blink of an eye, at least one-third of the Holy Night nobles were covered in black air, which looked shocking.
“With the army and the main nobles trapped in the Eversleeping Valley, I didn’t expect there would be so many remnants of the Darkness here.”
Theresa's eyes were gloomy. She nodded to Lei Xiao and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for uncovering these black sheep for the Holy Night Kingdom."
"You're welcome, it's easy."
Lei Xiao frowned slightly and responded.
In the Cold Flame Kingdom, because all the fallen nobles were caught in one fell swoop, I only found a very small number of termites when the golden barrier was tested not long ago. The number in the Holy Night Kingdom is indeed surprising.
"Your Highness, leave the rest to me."
After saying that, Theresa raised her eyebrows, and black magic chains suddenly appeared out of thin air, quickly binding the nobles shrouded in black air on the spot, causing wailing and screams in the hall to rise one after another.
Then, under Theresa's order, teams of fully armed elite Moon Palace soldiers filed in and escorted all the Black Mist nobles out.
During this process, Lei Xiao noticed.
The new Holy Night King Willy in front of him was not shrouded in black fog, but his handsome face became paler and almost bloodless.
"It seems that even the Evil God's Chosen Son thinks this guy is of little use, so he didn't bewitch him. But for me, this guy is the most suitable candidate for a leader's subordinate. After all, without an opportunity, the royal family is not someone who can be easily conquered."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded with satisfaction.
As long as he conquers them and arranges a few capable subordinates to assist them, and with Theresa's help, the power of the Holy Night Kingdom will be firmly in his hands.
"Your Highness, I'm sure you have a lot to say to His Majesty Willy. The room has been prepared for you."
Theresa smiled and said to Lei Xiao, "Leave this to me. Your Highness only needs to concentrate on talking with His Majesty Willy."
"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."
Lei Xiao shrugged, then raised his eyebrows at Willy and said, "Then let's talk about the Holy Night Army in the Eversleeping Canyon."
Looking at Lei Xiao's half-smile, Willy felt so oppressed that he couldn't even speak. He could only nod like a chicken pecking at rice.
As for the other Holy Night nobles who were not bewitched, they were either scared half to death by the scene just now or had already been convinced by Lei Xiao, so they did not dare to raise any objections.
Soon, under Theresa's arrangement, Lei Xiao and Willy came to a luxurious reception room.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness. It was not my idea to send troops to the Cold Flame Kingdom. Please show mercy, Your Highness, and don't arrest me!"
As soon as the door of the reception room was closed, Willy, who was trembling all over, felt his legs go weak and he was about to kneel down in front of Lei Xiao again, but the latter bent down and helped him up.
Since he had just given the Holy Night monarchs and ministers a warning and confirmed that they had not been bewitched, Lei Xiao would not have to embarrass the weak new king in front of him in such a private occasion.
"I know all this. Your father died suddenly, and you were hastily crowned with a weak power. Wars broke out frequently, and you were caught between the Moon Palace and the war-loving dignitaries. It must have been very difficult, right?"
Lei Xiao's face was gentle, and he smiled: "To be honest, I have to thank you for your indecision, which is why you didn't send a large force to attack right away."
Hearing the voice, Willy was stunned at first, and then his shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably.
Just as Lei Xiao said, for this young new king who was hastily crowned but had weak power, everything that happened during this period was indeed like a nightmare, making him unable to rest for a moment.
The ministers in the court were either fighting for power or harboring their own ulterior motives. Who would really care about his thoughts? Even Theresa looked down on him completely, and the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects was just a pretense.
But Lei Xiao's words were like a refreshing drizzle after rain, which struck Willy's heart directly, making the new king, who had not yet gotten over the pain of losing his father but was forced to the top of the power tower, feel deeply moved.
After all, for him, ever since his father passed away, no one has really cared about his life or death!
While sighing in his heart, Willy looked flattered and said with tears streaming down his face, "Your Highness, thank you for the compliment. Not sending troops at the first opportunity was the best decision I have ever made in my life!"
"Don't underestimate yourself. Your journey to becoming a king has only just begun. However, the power structure of the human world is about to undergo earth-shaking changes, and unknown disasters may occur at any time. There is no time left for you to grow slowly."
Lei Xiao's voice became solemn again, and he said bluntly: "Submit to me, and I will protect you, the Holy Night Royal Family, and the entire Holy Night Kingdom. I will allow you to grow up as quickly as possible and become a true king who can stand on his own."
At this point, Lei Xiao's tone became more meaningful: "This is something that even the Dark Elf Kingdom cannot do. After all, what they promised is only to protect the crown on your head, not you yourself. Of course, I have already discussed this matter with Theresa."
Just as Lei Xiao said, including these words, were actually the result of discussions between Lei Xiao and Theresa.
"Your Highness, are you saying that not only will you not blame me, but you will also take me under your wing and train me to become a true king?"
Hearing Lei Xiao directly reveal the supreme secret of the Holy Night Royal Family, Willy was stunned at first, then his face was full of excitement, and he said without hesitation: "Your Highness is so kind, how can I refuse? I am willing to swear allegiance to Your Highness until death!"
As the firm words fell, Willy knelt down again, but this time, there was no fear and panic on his face, but excitement and enthusiasm.
"Then let's start signing the contract."
Seeing that everything was as he expected, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and a shining recruitment order appeared.
It didn't take long before a familiar prompt sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Congratulations, the fourth-level one-star griffin knight Willy Griffin has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! ]
"From this moment on, you will follow my footsteps, leaving a strong mark in the history of the human race, and witness the future of the human race and even the entire world."
Lei Xiao bent down and helped Willy up, and as usual, he checked the other party's attribute column.
[Name: Willy]
[Occupation: Griffin Knight]
[Level: Level 4, 1 Star]
【Loyalty: 100】
[Skill 1: Roaring Stab [Active] (Physical single-target attack, with additional piercing effect)]
[Skill 2: Falcon Eye [Active] (Improve vision, resist blinding effects)]
[Skill 3: Griffin Companion [Passive] (You can tame a griffin as a mount. When riding a griffin, your combat capability increases)]
[Skill 4: Heart of the Griffin [Passive] (A special ability unique to the royal bloodline of the Holy Night Kingdom, which can convert the energy in the body into a special soothing force, allowing all the griffins around to overcome their fear, stimulate their potential, and maintain a tight charge formation)]
[Skill 5: Sword and Lance Mastery [Passive] (When using a long sword or lance, moderately increase damage)]
"It seems that this guy still has some potential, but he is just like a rough diamond that needs to be polished."
After closing the property bar, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
The Holy Night Kingdom is famous for its sky knights who use griffins as their main mounts and their superb alchemical bomb technology. If the scale is further expanded and built into a super-large sky knight training base, it will undoubtedly further enhance the human race's air combat capabilities.
At the same time, we can also further magnify the characteristics and advantages of other countries, concentrate on training some special arms, and regularly hold drills and exchanges and training between commanders to achieve the purpose of mutual learning and integration. These are important means to improve the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the human race in addition to basic hard power.
"Once we have complete control over the human world, we will immediately begin to implement these steps."
As Lei Xiao thought this, he brought his thoughts back to reality.
Now that the new Holy Night King Willy has been conquered, it’s time to head to the Eversleeping Valley.
Only by bringing this army under his command can he truly control the Holy Night Kingdom.
"Willie, let's set off now without further delay. It's time to remove the illusion array of the Eversleeping Canyon."
Lei Xiao's eyes sparkled as he said to the young new king in front of him, "Completely extinguishing the flames of war in the human world and then gathering the power of the entire human world is our next crucial step."
"As you command, Lord Lord!"
After signing the contract with Lei Xiao, Willy was obviously more confident. He nodded heavily and said, "I'm afraid that most of the main war nobles trapped in the Eversleeping Canyon have been bewitched by the source of evil. We must eliminate these termites as soon as possible!"
Looking at Willy's brand new look, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and then, surrounded by the former, he strode out of the door of the luxurious reception room.
