Chapter 1228: Kindness and Strength
After subduing Phil, Lei Xiao, as per usual, first gave him a set of fifth-tier equipment and magic potions as well as other trump cards, and then took this new subordinate back to the central military tent.
Seeing Lei Xiao and Phil reappear, the generals of the Canglan Federation who were still waiting here did not dare to be negligent and immediately knelt down and saluted, "Greetings to His Royal Highness! Greetings to the new Speaker!"
While kneeling on the ground, everyone couldn't help but recall the fierce methods Lei Xiao used to wipe out those black fog termites. That cold and piercing look was engraved in their minds like a nightmare and could not be erased.
Among them, Seville was particularly impressed. In addition to awe, a hint of worry and despair also emerged on his old face.
Now that the new Speaker has been established, Lei Xiao should naturally deal with him, the culprit who launched the army to destroy the country. He still remembers vividly the desperate scene when Andre was taken away not long ago.
Although he had been trapped here from the beginning and had not caused any substantial harm to the Lengyan Kingdom, he would probably be retaliated by Lei Xiao. Not to mention becoming a prisoner, even losing his life was reasonable.
After all, he and Andre once led a small number of elite troops to attack the mountain fortress. Although they were eventually repelled by Lei Xiao, the fact that he and Andre became pawns of the source of evil was unquestionable.
"No need to be so polite, I am just the Holy Lion Prince of the Cold Flame Kingdom."
Just when Seville was feeling anxious, Lei Xiao waved his hand casually and said calmly, "Next, let's proceed to the next step."
Hearing this, an expected look of despair suddenly appeared on Seville's old face. It was indeed time to punish him.
However, just as old Seville closed his eyes and prepared to accept the judgment of fate, Lei Xiao's voice had already rang in his ears: "Then, Seville will serve as the vice-president and assist Phil in managing the Canglan Federation."
"what?!"
Hearing Lei Xiao's words, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Seville's wrinkled old face. He was stunned on the spot, not daring to believe his ears.
After a while, he came back to his senses, crawled to Lei Xiao, and said in shock: "Your Highness, you, you want me to be the deputy speaker?"
"That's right, Mr. Sewell, there's no need to be so polite. Please stand up."
Lei Xiao smiled and nodded slightly, saying: "You have worked hard in the Canglan Federation for decades, conquering the humanoids, driving away the monsters, and building villages. This is how you completely stabilized the land that was once a loose sand. You are the person who knows that land best, so you are naturally qualified for this position."
"But after all, I once stood against His Royal Highness and caused a lot of trouble for His Royal Highness."
Sewell's old face was still full of disbelief, and he asked with wide eyes, "Why is Your Highness still so kind to me?"
"Because this is not for me, nor for the Cold Flame Kingdom, but for the entire human world."
Lei Xiao still maintained a faint smile and responded: "Only with the great assistance of the old gentleman can the Canglan Federation recover in the shortest possible time and become an extremely important force in the human world, so you are of course the best candidate."
At this point, Lei Xiao's tone softened a bit, and he continued, "In any case, I hope the old gentleman will not refuse."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, Seville's body began to tremble uncontrollably.
The young man from another world in front of him not only did not punish the old man, but instead gave him enough dignity and even left him a way out in the end.
How could he not be grateful for such kindness?
At this moment, Seville truly realized.
As the lord of the alien world, Lei Xiao was able to make unstoppable progress in a short period of time and reach the pinnacle of human power, even impressing the three supreme neutral organizations.
What he relies on is not only the mysterious talent of a lord and the irresistible command ability, but also the monarch's magnanimity that can accommodate the heaven and the earth!
While sighing in his heart, tears were already streaming down Seville's old face. He completely prostrated himself at Lei Xiao's feet from the inside out and made a promise in his heart to swear allegiance to him until death.
He lowered his old head and said with all his heart, "Your Highness is so kind to me, how can I refuse? I am willing to assist Speaker Phil and burn my life for the human world under the protection of Your Highness!"
"Please stand up, old man. From now on, we will advance and retreat together until the end of time."
Lei Xiao bent down and helped the trembling Seville up, nodding with satisfaction.
There are two main reasons why I made this decision.
The first, of course, was to thoroughly consolidate Phil's position.
Just as he said just now, Seville holds a very high position in the Canglan Federation and has indeed made many contributions and achievements.
After he helped Phil take the position, although he gained the full support of the humanoid generals, the human generals were not as convinced as the former. Most of them were just afraid of him.
Although I have ways to solve all of this, my vision is no longer limited to one country. Doing everything myself will only waste more time and energy, which will not be worth the effort.
Therefore, in order to completely control the Cang Lan Federation in the most convenient way, he also needs an auxiliary key of power to completely unlock the hearts of these generals. Seville is undoubtedly the best candidate.
Second, facing the catastrophe that may come at any time and the plan to lead the human race into the outer realms, the more elite soldiers and generals under your command, the better. Even if they are just a little stronger, they may become an important weight to tip the scales of victory.
What's more, he speculated that the territory war with other foreign lords might not be far away.
Under this premise, just as he had been doing, if he could use these powers that had not been eroded by darkness for his own benefit, it would undoubtedly be a great thing, both controllable and practical.
"At present, I have no way to obtain a fifth-level recruitment order. It is obviously impossible to directly retake Seville, so this method of combining kindness and force is the best option."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao's gaze moved and looked at the other generals of the Canglan Federation.
As expected, everyone looked grateful and respectful, and they all looked towards him.
"Phil, Mr. Sewell, the Canglan Federation is now in your hands. I will bring the three neutral organizations to provide you with all the necessary assistance."
Lei Xiao nodded to the two people in front of him and said with a smile: "At the same time, I will order the Holy Night Kingdom to cancel all control measures and allow the goods from other countries to be smoothly transported to the Canglan Federation."
"Thank you very much, Your Highness!"
Hearing that, not only Phil and Seville, but also the other generals of the Cang Lan Federation were all filled with gratitude, and they all knelt on the ground again.
You know, the reason why the Canglan Federation has been at war with the Holy Night Kingdom for decades is because the Holy Night Kingdom took advantage of its geographical advantages to control all trade routes between the Canglan Federation and other countries in order to collect high taxes from them.
After all, the Canglan Federation is located at the easternmost part of the human world and only borders the Holy Night Kingdom. It has been constrained by the Holy Night Kingdom, resulting in an extreme shortage of various supplies, and local specialty products cannot earn gold dragons.
It is precisely because of this geographical reason that the Canglan Federation will pass through the Holy Night Kingdom and form an alliance army with it.
And now, if trade can be restored, its importance to the Canglan Federation is self-evident!
"Everyone, get up. This is just a temporary measure for a short period of time. When my new trade method is fully implemented, you will be able to experience the goods and food of the human race from all over the world anytime and anywhere."
Lei Xiao raised his hand and said with a smile.
As for the new trading method that Lei Xiao mentioned, it is naturally the Lord Network.
At present, thanks to the day and night efforts of Qin Qian and other lords, it goes without saying that the lord networks in all areas of the Lengyan Kingdom are already fully operational.
The lord networks of the Verdant Kingdom, Grimm Kingdom, Iron Hand Islands, and Holy Night Kingdom also began to be built one after another.
This undoubtedly means that with the expansion of Lei Xiao's sphere of influence, the distance to connecting with the entire human world is already within reach. This will be an important step for Lei Xiao to lead the comprehensive innovation of the human world.
Afterwards, Lei Xiao explained to everyone some other details including the construction of the lord's network, and according to convention, he gave them some priceless equipment, potions and other items.
During this process, especially for Phil, who was a direct subordinate, just like Eckhart at the beginning, Lei Xiao specially gave him two fifth-level alchemical puppets, the Dark Guardians, and a large number of trump cards, which were enough to consolidate his position.
Amid everyone's surprised thanks, Lei Xiao took Phil and Sevier back to the mountain fortress again.
In the dungeon of the fortress, there was another fifth-level strongman from the Cang Lan Federation imprisoned. He was the captain of the parliament guard, Valentine. Before this, Lei Xiao had asked Xiao Jie to check and found that he was not surrounded by black fog either.
The most important thing is that Lei Xiao also knows this person in detail.
Although he has a hot temper, he is upright and resolute. Like Seville, he has not done any bad things. Instead, he has made outstanding contributions to the Cang Lan Federation and established many military exploits.
If Lei Xiao could use such a talent, he would naturally not let him go.
"Mr. Speaker?"
Deep in the dungeon of the fortress, Valentine was surprised to see Sewell and Lei Xiao appear here. He pointed at Lei Xiao and asked, "Why are you with him?"
"Don't be presumptuous in front of His Highness! I am no longer the Speaker. Do you know how big a mistake we have made?"
Seville, who looked like a subordinate, snorted coldly and described the whole story.
"Have we become pawns of the source of evil? How sad this is, and how absurd are our actions?"
After hearing the truth of the matter, the middle-aged strong man retreated and slumped to the ground, with an expression of uncontrollable regret on his face.
"Valentine, you were once my most loyal subordinate and guard, and you have always worked diligently for the Canglan Federation."
Sewell's wrinkled old face was full of seriousness, and he said solemnly: "Now I have decided to swear allegiance to His Royal Highness the Prince and assist the new Speaker Phil in rebuilding the Canglan Federation. Now His Royal Highness the Prince has forgiven the past and not only allowed me to be reborn, but also has not forgotten you. But if you still insist on being stubborn, I will send you off with my own hands."
"Your Highness has saved the human world, saved every one of us, and forgiven my recklessness with such great kindness. How dare I continue to be stubborn and rebellious?"
With tears of gratitude, Valentine knelt down in front of Lei Xiao without any hesitation, and said sincerely: "I am willing to swear allegiance to Your Highness until death, and I am willing to use this sinner's body to do my little bit for Your Highness!"
"Very good, please stand up."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, signaling Bai Lao who was on standby to open the prison door.
At Seville's suggestion, Lei Xiao also removed himself from his post as captain of the Valentine Council Guard and sent him to garrison in the core fortress between the Cang Lan Federation and the outside world, where he served as a low-level commander and made amends for his crime.
The latter are naturally grateful and dare not slack off in the slightest.
After arranging everything, Lei Xiao led everyone back to the canyon and ordered them to gather the troops and prepare to leave.
With the transportation from Bingshi City, it only took a blink of an eye to return to the Canglan Federation. Of course, before that, Lei Xiao also prepared enough food to feed the army.
As for the army of the Holy Night Kingdom, they had already completed all of this and returned home early.
"In this way, the Holy Night Kingdom and the Canglan Federation are completely under my control."
Looking at the Canglan soldiers marching towards Bingshi City, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
At this time, the fog in the Eversleeping Canyon had long since dissipated, and the bright sunshine once again enveloped the earth, and everything seemed to be sparkling.
"Lord Lord!"
Erza and Mia, who had not seen Lei Xiao for a long time, had appeared not far away. The president of the "Mirror Witch Society", Dina, and other court illusionists, as well as the phantom maids of the vampires, all came over with reverence on their faces.
Although all of them have been supporting "Lost Path", Lei Xiao's story was still heard by everyone through Bai Lao.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Lei Xiao first touched Erza and Mia's heads, then nodded to Dina, and then said: "Everyone has done a great job this time. You have trapped this aggressive army of annihilation for me. Each of you will receive due rewards and praise. This is an illusion operation that is worthy of being recorded in the history of the human race. Without your efforts, the consequences would be unimaginable."
"We are willing to go through fire and water for His Royal Highness!"
Hearing the voice, Dina and others, including the phantom maids, immediately knelt on the ground and saluted Lei Xiao by touching their chests.
Among them, Dina, the president of the "Mirror Witch Society", had excitement and excitement written all over her fair face. Being able to join Lei Xiao's team was undoubtedly the best choice she had ever made in her life!
You know, at that time, Lei Xiao was just a new prince who was surrounded by enemies on all sides, but now, Lei Xiao has become the ruler and savior of the human world. How could she not be excited when she has been fighting hard all the time?
As for why even the phantom maid of the vampire clan was so respectful, it was naturally because Louise had been following Lei Xiao like a follower.
Seeing that the supreme True Ancestor has lowered his posture so much and become like a follower, what reason do they have not to lower their heads?
Lei Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief after settling all the illusionists in Ice Stone City to rest.
At this point, everything in the Eversleeping Valley came to an end.
"The Holy Night Kingdom and the Canglan Federation should each send some capable generals to assist Willy and Phil, including the capable lords of the Warrior God Group, to coordinate matters with the lords of the other worlds."
After arranging all the follow-up matters, Lei Xiao's eyes were bright.
Next, it is time to deal with the Pars Empire.
