Lord of the Nation: My talent is 100 million points strong

Chapter 1267 Ceremony and Gifts

In the magnificent sacred hall, as everyone knelt on the ground, Sophia's excited voice rang out: "Please return to your throne, our great emperor!"

As Sophia's voice fell, Lei Xiao had already sat on the emperor's throne in the center, and Ariel and the other seven monarchs also knelt on the ground, respectfully adjusting the emperor's robe that extended out for Lei Xiao.

After her robes were arranged, Sophia's inspiring and noble voice sounded again.

"Dear distinguished guests, the one looking down upon each of you now is His Majesty Lei Xiao, the first emperor of the human world. He guides the human world to peace and prosperity. He is the chosen son of God who is favored by the gods. His coronation ceremony was inherited by the ancient guardians of the human race. His authority is unquestionable!"

"The honorable monarchs of the seven nations, the president of the Mercenary Guild, the president of the Alchemist Guild, the strong men of the major directly affiliated organizations, the lords of other worlds, and all the princes, nobles, and people of the human race, you must now bow down at the feet of His Majesty the Emperor and swear allegiance to His Majesty. Are you willing?"

"We are willing. The human world will surely regain its glory under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor! Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty!"

For a moment, the loud and clear oath sounded throughout the entire sacred hall.

Including Sophia, the master of ceremonies, the monarchs of the seven nations, Ice Old Man, Gray Old Man, Joniel and other sixth-level strongmen, and even the Pelican Princess Feier, everyone in the audience, without exception, knelt down in front of Lei Xiao and bowed their heads to him.

Lei Xiao, wearing the emperor's crown, held a scepter and a ball in his hands, sitting on the emperor's throne, looking down at everyone present.

"Everyone please stand up."

After a while, when the deafening sound of oaths gradually faded away, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and signaled everyone to stand up.

Looking at those pairs of eyes that were raised in reverence, Lei Xiao said solemnly, "Thank you all for coming to my coronation ceremony. Today is destined to be an extraordinary day in the history of the human race."

"This is not only because of my coronation ceremony, but also because there will no longer be any disputes in the human world. From now on, we will work together as a closely connected whole for the same goal, which is to regain the glory of the ancient human race and rebuild the glory of the human race."

"To get out of this corner of the world, to establish contact with the races outside the world, to start trade, and to make the human race no longer despised by all races, this has been the lifelong wish of countless monarchs and powerful people since the blank era."

"And today, I can finally solemnly announce that we already have the potential to achieve all of this. We already have enough capital to take the first step that countless human kings have been dreaming of!"

Lei Xiao stood up from the throne, the imperial crown on his forehead shining brightly.

After hearing what Lei Xiao said, the princes and nobles present all became excited and rejoiced.

However, Lei Xiao changed the subject and said, "But I need to remind you that we don't have much time left."

"Under the premise that the great catastrophe mentioned in countless prophecies may come at any time, even those powerful races standing at the peak of their strength cannot remain immune, let alone the human race trapped in a corner?"

"Therefore, we are not only fulfilling the long-cherished wish of our ancestors, but also for ourselves. Otherwise, the weak human world will be completely annihilated in the destructive torrent of the catastrophe."

Lei Xiao's voice became more solemn, shaking everyone's heart.

"I believe you all understand the seriousness of the situation. This unknown disaster is definitely not something the human world can contend with. We must find more friends, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and stay closely connected. Only then can we have a glimmer of hope."

“So, what we need to do is far more serious than the long-cherished wishes of our ancestors.”

"That is, before an unknown disaster strikes, we must make every possible preparation. Even if a strong opponent stands in our way, we must not stop, because destruction is behind us and we have no way to retreat."

"There is one more thing I need to remind you of. I'm sure many people here have already thought of it. That is, most of the forces in the outer regions have also learned that the Great Cataclysm is coming, especially those powerful forces that stand at the top of the strength of all the races."

"But whether it's the elves, dwarves, or winged people, arrogance and indifference blinded their eyes. They would rather face the disaster alone than consider all races, let alone establish cooperation. In their eyes, weak forces are just a burden, including humans."

"But we don't have the capital. Even if we did, we would never choose to do so, because humble humans know that a single branch can be easily broken, but a bundle of branches cannot. We will join hands with every friend."

"I believe that if the entire land is tightly connected, even the most violent storms will not be able to shake us at all!"

After hearing what Lei Xiao said, everyone's originally extremely solemn faces suddenly became excited.

"Since those powerful forces that have the ability to unite all races have chosen to keep to themselves, or even to watch other forces perish with indifference, then we humans might as well be the leaders who gather everything together, even if it means becoming enemies with those top forces!"

"We will crush their arrogance, tear down their prejudices, and make them surrender to us!"

Lei Xiao's voice began to rise, and he added: "Although this will be a difficult and bumpy road, what I want to say is that I believe that as long as I work hand in hand with you, the fire of hope in the human world will never be extinguished, and the fire of hope in the entire land will never be extinguished!"

"We are willing to fight for His Majesty the Emperor! We are willing to fight for the future of mankind!"

Everyone knelt on the ground again, and the sound echoed throughout the hall.

"I have sensed your determination, and it makes me feel stronger than ever before."

Lei Xiao raised his hand to signal everyone to stand up, nodded with satisfaction and said: "The Great Cataclysm is indeed terrible, but we should be more grateful that the future is still in our hands. We will use our own hands to protect the human world and the future of the entire land!"

After Lei Xiao finished speaking, the whole audience burst into thunderous applause and became excited again.

Including the four sixth-level warriors, everyone was full of fighting spirit and couldn't wait to show their skills.

When the applause died down, Fei'er took a step forward, touched her chest and saluted Lei Xiao, saying: "Your Majesty really has the world in your heart. Then I will also follow the agreement and offer a small help to Your Majesty."

After saying that, Fei'er opened her slender hands, and a small and quaint badge engraved with an exquisite silver wolf head pattern came into Lei Xiao's eyes.

"Is this the surprise Your Highness the Princess just mentioned?"

Lei Xiao took the badge and felt a cool touch.

"Your Majesty, this is the royal emblem of the Silver Fire Kingdom, symbolizing the supreme authority of the Silver Fire Kingdom."

Fei'er nodded and introduced: "I believe your majesty has already known that although there are many ancient human kingdoms, the Silver Fire Kingdom is the ruler of the ancient human race. This includes not only the entire human world, but also many affiliated ethnic groups that are protected by the ancient human race."

"For example, flower fairies, dragonborn, gray tribe, phantom tribe, halflings, etc. These tribes are protected by the Silver Fire Kingdom and swear allegiance to the royal family of the Silver Fire Kingdom until the advent of the blank era."

Fei'er's shining eyes blurred a little, and she continued, "This means that this royal emblem, which symbolizes the authority of the Silver Fire Kingdom, theoretically still has the power to rule over these affiliated tribes. After all, the Silver Fire Kingdom has a heavy influence on these affiliated tribes."

"So, if I take out this badge, I might be able to get help or even loyalty from these subordinate races?"

Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and smiled at Fei'er, "Thank you for the gift from Her Royal Highness Princess Pelican. This will surely play an important role in my entry into the Outer Realm!"

After saying that, Lei Xiao held up the ancient badge for display, which caused cheers and applause in the hall.

"However, I have no idea how much effect it can have."

Seeing Lei Xiao being so serious, Fei'er quickly added: "According to what I have learned during this period, many of these tribes have long disappeared, and have not even appeared since the blank era."

"Besides, if they no longer recognize the Silver Fire Kingdom, it will not have any effect. After all, after the arrival of the Blank Era, the Silver Fire Kingdom not only failed to fulfill its responsibilities as a protector, but also destroyed itself..."

"None of this is important. What's important is the Princess's thoughts, isn't it?"

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled at Fei'er, "Don't worry, with the full support of Her Royal Highness the Princess, I will move forward without any worries."

Hearing this, Fei'er was stunned at first, then she smiled and said, "I was originally planning to give you a small surprise, but I didn't expect to be moved by your gratitude. It seems that I didn't make a mistake about you."

At this point, Lei Xiao's coronation ceremony came to an end amid the cheers and applause of the crowd, but the ceremony was not completely over yet.

Because after this, there is another extremely important thing, which is naturally to review the newly formed human army of one million.

Under the arrangement of the king's subordinates, Lei Xiao had just eaten a few snacks in the emperor's lounge when he received the news that everything was ready.

"Let's go now without further delay."

Lei Xiao put down the teacup and walked out of the room surrounded by his main subordinates.

The sky was clear and the sun was shining. When Lei Xiao appeared again surrounded by the kings and main subordinates, he was already standing on the towering platform outside Huiguang City.

This huge reviewing platform is magnificent, even taller than the walls of Glowing City. It was built by the most elite earth magicians in the human world to ensure that Lei Xiao can overlook every corner of the army.

Under the majestic stage, a million-strong army consisting of the elite troops of the entire human world has been lined up. It is a black mass, yet it is sparkling with dazzling brilliance.

"Not bad, not bad. This is the mighty army of our human race."

Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes and examined the 100 neat square formations under his feet.

These phalanxes are of legion-level size, neatly arranged in a 10x10 formation, and look extremely shocking.

Just as Lei Xiao saw this, millions of human soldiers in the audience had already knelt down and bowed their heads. A deafening voice resounded through the world: "Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor! We are willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty!"

"Soldiers, please stand up."

Feeling the uniform and overwhelming momentum coming towards him, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and his blood boiled in his heart.

These were all soldiers who had sworn allegiance to him. Although he had once commanded an army of nearly one million, that was only part of the military force of the Cold Flame Kingdom, the Iron Hand Islands, and the Grimm Kingdom.

Whether in terms of their own strength or overall quality, they are obviously no match for this elite force that brings together the entire human race.

What's more, after integrating the resources of the human world, he also focused on training them.

"According to the information submitted by the kings' subordinates, all members of this human army composed of the elite forces of seven countries are above the second level. I have perfectly achieved my original goal of having a million-strong army at the second level."

"Not only that, this million-strong army also includes more than 100,000 third-level warriors and a thousand fourth-level warriors. This can be fully described as a thousand generals and a million soldiers."

"This is just the strength of the soldiers themselves. What's more, I have equipped all of them with equipment above level three. This is a level that no human force could ever reach before!"

Lei Xiao looked at this unique force in the human world and became more and more excited.

Before this, a legion composed of about 50% second-level soldiers was enough to be called the main force. They were the most important elite combat forces in each country. Only royal families and wealthy families had them, and they were invincible.

Even for a main army like this, having two fourth-level warriors and dozens of third-level warriors in charge is already a luxurious command team.

As for the equipment, most of them were only level two, and level three only accounted for a small part. But now, I have completely raised this standard to a whole new level. How can I not feel a sense of accomplishment?

While Lei Xiao was excited, his eyes continued to wander among the dark military formation.

Of course, this is obviously not the entire strength of the human world. After a period of recuperation and recruiting new soldiers, the human world still has at least 500 legions scattered across the country, but their strength is relatively weak.

"I will also step up the training of those ordinary legions, but they will not enter the outer realm for the time being. They will only serve as defense and reserve forces."

"After all, the strength of the tribes in the outer domain is tyrannical. Sometimes the gap cannot be made up by numbers. As long as a series of sixth-level wide-area spells are cast, the result can be imagined."

"Even with the blessing of the absolute defense barrier, with my current strength, I can't resist too many sixth-level spell attacks. The sixth level is just the basic threshold for the powerful warriors of the foreign tribes to defend the country. This shows it."

While Lei Xiao was thinking this, he focused his attention on the mighty military formation.
