Chapter 1425 Discussion and Deployment
"Old President, feel free to say whatever you want to say."
In the bright hall emitting the glow of cold flames, Lei Xiao noticed the solemnity of Gray Old and nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty, the information that the Seeker told us has indeed benefited us a lot, and we have a better understanding of the current situation, including the Cataclysm, but can we really trust his words?"
Gray Old Man's old eyes were filled with worry, and he asked, "After all, the other party is an Eclipse, and he can't conduct mental attack inquiries at all."
Hearing this, all the other strong men on our side nodded as well.
In fact, when talking with the seeker just now, Lei Xiao had already arranged in advance for Ye Cang, Da Zhuang, Chris and two other wood fairy elders who were good at spiritual inquiries to try to obtain useful information directly from the other party's mind.
But it turns out that Eclipse's spiritual structure is completely different from that of all other races. It is like an unshakable boulder that cannot be seen at all.
To be more precise, we are unable to even select the other party as the target of the spell, so the other party may not even notice it, or simply ignore it.
Just after the White Knight left, Ye Cang, Da Zhuang, Chris and others had already reported.
"The old president's concerns are reasonable, but don't forget a considerable part of the information just now. In fact, we had already speculated before talking to the seeker, and we just confirmed it again."
Lei Xiao nodded to Gray Old Man and smiled, "Besides, there is no reason for the Seeker to do this."
After hearing Lei Xiao's response, everyone nodded thoughtfully.
What the Lord said is correct. There is really no need for the other party to do this. After all, judging from the current situation, once the "Eclipse" comes in overwhelming force, I am afraid that we will have no choice but to be destroyed.
As everyone thought of this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became much more solemn, and many people even felt a little at a loss.
"Everyone, do you still remember the big mission that the Hero King left for the Mercenary Guild?"
Noticing the solemn atmosphere in the hall, Lei Xiao changed the subject and said, "The mission is to find the cracks in the Cataclysm. To this end, the old president and others have traveled almost all over the human world."
"Your Majesty, this is exactly what I want to discuss next."
Gray Elder stroked his gray beard and said thoughtfully, "According to the information we have so far, could this Cataclysm rift be a crack in the Demon-Blocking Wall?"
"This is the only possibility."
Lei Xiao confirmed what Gray Old Man said, and then said, "Although the Seeker just mentioned that the Demon Blocking Wall may collapse at any time, I think that even if it collapses, it will not completely lose its function. It will just be like a gap in the wall, because the Demon Blocking Wall is a creation of the gods."
"A creation of the gods?! Lord, how did you know that?"
Shirley blurted out with surprise on her fair face.
"The answer is actually very simple."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and described his speculation about the "prompt sound".
Prior to this, Lei Xiao had already told the main warriors about the divine revelation he had heard before and the three questions he asked about the "prompt sound". Therefore, everyone quickly understood the meaning of Lei Xiao's words.
"It turned out to be like this... So it was the "prompt sound" that led to the catastrophe? But why did the god do this?"
After listening to Lei Xiao's description, Shirley's fair face showed even more surprise, and everyone else on our side had the same expression.
"This is something I am eager to know, because it must be related to the truth of the blank era, but we are currently lacking the necessary information and cannot speculate further."
Lei Xiao's eyes were deep, and he immediately added: "However, as long as we know that the magic barrier cast by the "prompt sound" will not collapse completely, but only cracks will appear, it is enough for us to see hope in fighting against "eclipse."
"I understand your majesty's meaning!"
Gray nodded with sudden enlightenment, and agreed, "In fact, this is similar to what His Majesty ordered before. As long as we find the location where the cracks in the Demon-Blocking Wall may appear, that is, the Cataclysm Crack mentioned in the Hero King's quest, and then set up multiple defenses, or even block the cracks, we will be able to wait for the opportunity to stop the "Eclipse" that intends to sweep across the world!"
As soon as Gray Elder said this, the other strong men on our side who had not yet reacted suddenly realized.
Originally, facing the nearly invincible "Eclipse" that no one knew where it would appear from, everyone felt a little helpless.
And if we can really carry out targeted defenses as Lei Xiao and Hui Lao said, and concentrate our strength to fight against "Eclipse", we will indeed have a glimmer of hope, even if it is extremely slim!
"So this is the key to why the Ancestral Hero King issued the great mission."
Ariel was excited and said thoughtfully, "But Lord, the Demon-Blocking Wall is a magical restriction cast by the gods. It is undoubtedly extremely mysterious and far beyond our comprehension. Although it covers the entire land, we cannot sense it at all, so how can we find cracks that may appear in the future?"
"That's right. The human race's territory is so vast that if we simply search for it, it is indeed like looking for a needle in a haystack. But fortunately, we are not without trace."
Lei Xiao smiled mysteriously, and then began to explain: "Don't forget how the seeker came to the ground."
"My Lord, are you saying that the cracks in the Magic Barrier are where the magic veins will erupt?"
Shirley's eyes lit up, and she immediately reacted, saying with sudden enlightenment: "My Lord, what you said is absolutely right. Although the cracks that were created when the magic veins erupted have been repaired, they must be the most vulnerable places in the entire magic restriction!"
After Shirley said this, Chris and other wood fairies who had the deepest understanding of magic at the scene all nodded excitedly. Just like what the former said, the repaired part of the barrier was indeed more fragile than the other parts!
You know, just like the flower fairies who once maintained the barrier for the ancient human race, the wood fairies obviously have a deep understanding of magic barriers.
"That's right. If the Demon Blocking Wall is going to have cracks, these places where cracks have appeared before are undoubtedly the most likely places, such as the ruins of the Loren Capital and the depths of the dragon's nest on the Wumeng Peak."
Lei Xiao affirmed Shirley's opinion and continued, "So, we must focus on monitoring such places and deploy corresponding absolute defense barriers. I will hold a meeting later and deploy them overnight."
Lei Xiao clearly understood that although according to the content of the task entrusted by Wang Xi, the Cataclysm Crack would appear in the human territory, he could not confirm whether the crack would only appear in the human territory or would also appear in other areas of the outside world at the same time.
Therefore, these places cannot be ignored at all. After all, as one moves forward, more and more foreign regions are included in one's sphere of influence. At least, one must have deployments in all the areas under one's control.
While Lei Xiao was thinking, the eyes of the powerful men became more determined.
With the Lord's strategic planning, our confidence in fighting against "Eclipse" has undoubtedly increased!
"Your Majesty, should we stop searching for the Great Catastrophic Crack in the area of the Dimensional Storm and the area of the Dislocated Object?"
Gray Lao pondered for a moment and asked again.
"No, I will invest more manpower, material resources and financial resources. Although our previous two investigation and defense directions may not be related to the Cataclysm Rift, they are undoubtedly things we have not figured out yet, so we only need to make some adjustments, and the investigation must continue."
Lei Xiao gently stroked his chin and responded, "It goes without saying that there are dislocated things, especially the increasingly frequent dimensional storms in recent years. Although we have the ability to deal with them, we still don't understand the reasons for their formation."
"Understood, Your Majesty."
Gray Old Man's face was full of competence, and then he frowned and said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing that needs to be dealt with as soon as possible, that is the location where Old Nick had the accident..."
"Deep in the monster cave, the portal is difficult to activate, but it is undeniable that in the unknown ruins on the other side of the portal, Eclipse has been active and is still there."
After hearing what Gray Old Man said, Ariel immediately agreed, "Yes, Lord, there must have been an explosion of magical veins there, and it is not far from Fanyin City. Once the other party repairs the portal from the other side, even if the number is limited, it will undoubtedly pose a great threat to the surrounding Lengyan people."
"This is indeed something that needs to be focused on. I will make comprehensive deployments in the entire area, including the cave, and relocate the people around to a safer area. When I have time, I will personally explore the unknown ruins and erase the "Erosion" in it."
Lei Xiao nodded without hesitation, his eyes becoming sharper.
"My Lord, how should the White Knight be placed?"
Shirley touched her chest and saluted, then asked, "Have they been placed here to prevent accidents? But this is the core of the Cold Flame Palace."
"That's true. It would be great if there was a place with functions similar to the Lion King Palace. It would be best if it was far away from crowded areas and power centers."
Gray Old Man stroked his old chin and echoed.
"There is indeed such a place, and that is Crystal Blue City."
Lei Xiao thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "The function of the Light Chaser Castle is undoubtedly similar to that of the Lion King Palace. If it can also accommodate other life sources besides Xi En and others, it will undoubtedly be great."
"Although Crystal Blue City can only operate in the human territory now, it can also reach any remote place in an instant."
After saying that, Lei Xiao immediately looked at Shirley and Bing Lao and said, "Then the task of conducting a comprehensive investigation of the Light Chasing Castle will be handed over to you two. As the owner of the Light Chasing Castle, I will open up the maximum authority of the Miracle Building to assist you in the investigation. Before that, the White Knight will have to stay deep in the Lion King Palace, and the Stone Elf owner and the Stone Elves will take turns to guard it."
"As you command, Lord Lord!"
Hearing this, everyone touched their chests and saluted, saying in unison.
"Okay, we should get out of here then."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he took a step forward.
After returning to Lion Castle, the first thing Lei Xiao did was to summon the seven human kings, representatives of lords such as Qin Qian, and leaders of our forces in the outer realms including Chris to a meeting, informing everyone of the latest information about the catastrophe. This was the first time that Lei Xiao had convened such a large-scale meeting, gathering all the major forces under his command.
After describing everything, the second thing Lei Xiao did was, naturally, to deploy comprehensive monitoring measures and build defense measures at all locations within our sphere of influence where the magic veins had erupted.
After everyone left with solemn expressions, Lei Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the queen's room with Ariel.
"My Lord, you have been busy for so long, you can finally take a rest."
Ariel handed Lei Xiao a cup of hot tea and couldn't help but sigh.
"This is just the beginning. What we are facing next is not only the great catastrophe that may strike at any time, but also other forces that are currently difficult to reach standing opposite us in the deeper parts of the Outer Realm."
Lei Xiao held the steaming cup of tea and smiled, "However, this rugged road is no longer just ours. We have more and more companions."
"Your Excellency is right. I was really surprised to see so many powerful outsiders gathered together. Queen Catherine is even stronger, and Cecilia, Lawrence, Eckhart, Willy, Phil and the others are all very nervous."
Ariel blinked her starry eyes, obviously cherishing the time alone with Lei Xiao. She said with great joy, "The adorable fairies are needless to say. The tree people are all very calm, and the dwarves also look amiable. The most hair-raising ones are the extremely burly trolls and minotaurs."
"But they are extremely respectful to the Lord, which makes me feel very excited. After all, these powerful beings used to look down on the human race."
"By the way, the Dragon Queen is exactly like us. It's really surprising..."
Listening to Ariel's endless talk, Lei Xiao smiled and took a sip of the tea in the cup.
I have to say, although Ariel's crisp voice has been lingering in my earrings, my heart is rare quiet and calm.
However, although everything went very smoothly, there was still one thing that made him extremely concerned.
That is the way to fight against "Eclipse". If we only rely on the power of the [God's Stone], it would obviously be too weak.
After all, in the battle at the dragon's lair alone, he had almost consumed all the power of the stone elves.
"Is there any other way to harm Eclipse? In any case, the collection of other God Stones must be further strengthened."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
In addition, there is another extremely important matter that is imminent. (End of this chapter)
