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

Chapter 316 Pterodactyl Knight and Maid Star Return【5K】

"My lord, my subordinates were thinking about this just now..."

The pterosaur knight captain Xiao En took off his barrel helmet, revealing a middle-aged resolute face full of beards, and replied respectfully with some doubts: "Before the subordinates and others accept the summon, the mount is still by your side. , but after coming here, I found that the mount was not summoned together."

"So it is."

Lei Xiao stroked his chin lightly, and nodded thoughtfully.

Although it was the first time he had recruited knights, judging from the current situation.

It seems that only the subordinate who has signed the master-servant contract can accept the summon, not including the mount beside him.

"Forget it, at least Sean and the others have brought equipment, unlike a certain girl who can leave her ancestral magic staff at home when she accepts a summons."

Thinking about this secretly, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly.

"Having said that, the pterosaur knight without a mount will undoubtedly have greatly reduced combat effectiveness and tactics. We need to find new mounts for Xiao En and others as soon as possible."

Looking at the bewildered Sean and other new subordinates, Lei Xiao began to make the next step in his mind.

At this moment, the familiar reminders sounded one after another.

[Congratulations, your subordinate third-rank five-star pterosaur knight Sean has developed extreme admiration for you, and his loyalty has increased by 23 points, which is currently 73 points. 】

[Congratulations, your subordinate third-tier three-star pterosaur knight Luke has developed extreme admiration for you, and his loyalty has increased by 22 points, which is currently 72 points. 】

【Congratulations, your subordinate...】

Hearing the expected voice, Lei Xiao slightly raised his eyebrows.

In front of Lei Xiao, the gazes of Xiao En and the other 10 pterodactyl knights had already become fiery.

Whether it was the two radiant miraculous buildings, or the monstrous aura emanating from the fifth-order powerhouse Knotweed, they were all sending the same message to them.

That is the lord in front of him who is much stronger than them, obviously not an ordinary person!

"It seems that I waited for this to come to a remarkable territory."

Sean and the others, whose eyes became more and more fiery, all exclaimed in their hearts.

"Only Sean's plate armor is Tier [-], and the weapons and armor of the other pterodactyl knights are Tier [-]?"

"According to the usual practice, the next step is to directly increase the loyalty of these new subordinates to full."

While Xiao En and the others were amazed, Lei Xiao's heart moved, and ten shining Tier [-] lances and ten sets of Tier [-] plate armor appeared in front of everyone in an instant.

For a moment, the emerald green grass flickered with splendor, and the brand-new equipment shone brightly in the bright sun, reflecting the dazzling light, making it almost hard to take your eyes off it.

Just when the 10 new subordinates were shocked beyond measure by the sudden scene in front of them.

Lei Xiao smiled indifferently, and waved his hand casually, indicating that the equipment had been given to them.

"At this stage, I don't have enough Tier [-] lances in my hand, so let's make do with the Tier [-] lances I got on the battlefield."

"As for the fourth-tier plate armor, it is just enough. It is all upgraded from the second-tier equipment of the previous Great Swordsman Squadron."

Just when Lei Xiao thought about it.

Sean and the other ten pterodactyl knights without dragons, needless to say how surprised they were, their loyalty was no surprise, and they all rose to a full 100 points.

"Sean, from now on we will be partners fighting side by side. I will give you my back and help you find a new mount as soon as possible."

Hearing the pleasant reminder, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

"My subordinates are very grateful to the lord!"

The excited Xiao En and the other 9 pterosaur knights bowed their heads deeply to Lei Xiao again.

While leaning down to help him up, Lei Xiao opened Sean's attribute bar.

【Name: Sean】

[Occupation: Winged Dragon Knight]

[Class: Tier [-], [-]-star]

【Loyalty: 100】

[Skill [-]: Swooping stabbing "active" (physical single target attack, additional piercing effect)]

[Skill [-]: Falcon's Eye "Active" (improves eyesight, resists blinding effect)]

[Skill [-]: Pterosaur Partner "Passive" (you can tame the Sky Pterosaur to become a mount, and when riding a Pterosaur, your combat ability will increase)]

[Skill [-]: Lance Proficiency "Passive" (when using a lance, moderately increases damage)]

"As the captain, Sean is at the third-tier five-star level, and the rest of the pterodactyl knights are all at the third-tier three-star level?"

Lei Xiao closed the attribute bar, his heart moved slightly, and he handed a storage ring and 30 Tier [-] and Tier [-] healing potions to Xiao En.

With the blessing of these potions, the survivability of Xiao En and others will undoubtedly be greatly improved.

Amid Sean's excited thank you, Lei Xiao announced the opening of the meal, and then he and his followers enjoyed the delicious food prepared by the top chef Rudy and others on the green grass in the southeast corner of the territory.

Because the taste was so good and the supply was in short supply, Chef Rudy and other chefs even added several meals in the middle, and everyone was full of praise.

It has to be said that under the warm morning light, it is indeed a very pleasant thing to sit and eat on the green land exuding the fragrance of green leaves and earth, which makes people feel like returning to nature.

This point, for Lei Xiao who had been living in a metropolis full of high-rise buildings before time travel, was a rare enjoyment of physical and mental pleasure.

During this process, Lei Xiao called the old housekeeper Ward and the head chef Rudy to his side successively, and also equipped them with a storage ring and a corresponding number of potions.

Of course, it also included the fourth-order Mowu as a kitchen knife, which was also handed over to Rudy who was full of surprises.

Under the warm sun, just after Lei Xiao put the last bite of buttered toast drenched in honey into his mouth, the reminder to read the words sounded.

As soon as the connection was made, Lin's magnetic whisper came to Lei Xiao's ears.

"My lord, after investigation by my subordinates, I found that a third-rank personal maid beside Princess Ariel, and a third-rank deputy squadron leader of the Royal Guard under her command were born in Kongqing Town, and also in our Mailan Town within the sphere of influence."

Speaking of this, Lin's voice became more excited: "In this way, just as the lord imagined, we can first find a way to subdue these two people, so as to learn more about Ariel from the side. Message from the princess."

"Lin, you've done a great job, you've worked hard."

After listening to Lin's report, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

After the hall meeting with Ariel and her group, and after several trials and analysis, Lei Xiao has already come to a conclusion.

That is the reason why Ariel personally led the team to Kongqing Town, the real purpose is to avoid the increasingly fierce competition for the throne in the Lengyan King Capital.

Moreover, the open and secret struggle between several cold flame princes may have threatened Ariel's own life.

It is conceivable that although Ariel, the fifth princess of Lengyan, is the weakest, she also has the right to inherit the throne after all.

This alone is enough to give the other crazy princes a reason to attack him.

"What deserves my vigilance is that the arrival of Ariel will definitely attract the attention of other princes."

"We can't even rule out the possibility that these guys will send elite spies and killers into Kongqing Town to collect intelligence and continue to assassinate Ariel."

Lei Xiao frowned slightly, and thought to himself: "At that time, Kongqing Town will undoubtedly become the target of those princes and the huge noble forces under their command."

"However, as the so-called opportunities and challenges coexist, while Kongqing Town and even the territory in the forest are threatened, I also have an extra trump card in my hand, Ariel."

Lei Xiao stretched his brows again, stood up from the green grass next to the half-built stone kitchen, and nodded thoughtfully.

"As long as I can take this proud Princess Lengyan under my command and help her seize the throne, then the entire Lengyan Kingdom will undoubtedly be completely in my hands."

"Of course, judging from the current situation, it is still extremely difficult to subdue this perverse and willful princess. After all, the other party is the pinnacle of power in the Lengyan Kingdom, a true member of the royal family."

Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath of the fresh morning air, his gaze became more serious.

Although the three princes will not leave too much time for themselves, they may point their swords at Kongqing Town at any time, triggering a life-and-death battle.

But in order to achieve the goal of subduing Ariel, I have to further confirm whether this Princess Leng Yan has any other unfavorable thoughts or attempts, which is undoubtedly crucial.

"Under the premise that the fire is imminent, I decided to use a two-pronged approach. First, I sent Nan Xing Nanyue to monitor the other party, and second, I ordered Lin to investigate the other attendants around the princess."

"In this way, I can be targeted, wait for the opportunity to poach the corner of one or more princesses first, and then intuitively understand the real situation of Ariel and her party from these people."

"After all, this time, Ariel has brought two fourth-tier kingdom generals, five third-tier personal maids, a second-tier battle maid team and a second-tier royal guard."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao patted the leaves of grass left on his body, and then said to the sassy female knight on the other side of the conversation: "Lin, wait for me in Kongqing Town, I will take someone there in a while."

After shutting down the recitation, Lei Xiao let the main force and the commanders of the squadrons go to the lord's mansion for a meeting, while pondering again.

According to reports from Lin and Nan Xing Nanyue, Ariel seems to have another important purpose for her trip.

First, she once seriously asked Lin about the detailed geographical environment around Kongqing Town, as well as the distribution of large and small towns.

Second, she mentioned the word "that matter" many times in the conversation with the two kingdom generals.

Combining the above two points, it is not difficult to judge that the other party must still be hiding something.

"Regarding this, it must be investigated as soon as possible."

Lei Xiao, who had already stepped into the gate of the mansion, went straight to sit on the throne in the first place, and began to prepare for today's work.

Not long after, all the main force and all the commanders stood in the lower position.

Sitting on the throne, Lei Xiao took a sip of the fragrant tea that the third-tier maid had just brewed, and began to arrange today's work.

"Everyone, the work in the territory today is exactly the same as yesterday. There is only one main goal, and that is to connect the city wall consisting of 50 fortresses as soon as possible, as well as the construction of the city gate and the territory kitchen."

Holding a steaming cup of tea, Lei Xiao glanced at the audience and continued to say, "The tasks of all squadrons remain the same, and each can perform its duties."

"Follow your orders! Lord Lord!"

The eight commanders in the lower position and the head chef Rudy stepped forward neatly, and said with their hands touching their chests.

"Very good. In addition, the daily defense work in the territory must still be given priority, and there must be no slack."

Lei Xiao looked down at the nine subordinates standing neatly, and instructed: "Each squadron must ensure that there is a squadron fully armed and sticking to their respective sentry positions at all times. In the event of an accident in the territory, the others must also quickly switch to a fighting state." .”

"Please rest assured, my lord. Yesterday, my subordinates and others have coordinated a variety of emergency situations and countermeasures."

Bai Zhi, the squadron commander with the oldest qualifications in the territory, responded with a serious face.

"Well done, if there is an enemy attack, Baizhi will be responsible for coordinating the attack of the four long-range squadrons in the territory, and Rogge will be in charge of the other four melee squadrons."

Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then said, "I hope you can keep the territory as solid as gold."

Lei Xiao had already noticed when the orc army was wiped out at the pass.

As the commander of the half-elf archers, Bai Zhi has a very good commanding ability.

Coupled with the fact that the half-elves have inherited the ability of the elves to be close to nature, fighting in the forest is even more comfortable, so there is naturally no problem.

As the commander of the heavy guard squadron, Rogge is not only the oldest, rich in combat experience, but also has an extremely stable personality. He is also the most suitable candidate among all melee commanders.

Therefore, Lei Xiao had such an arrangement.

"Obey! Please rest assured, my lord!"

The long-haired Angelica dahurica and the white-haired Rogge touched their chests in salute at the same time.

"When I'm not around, the territory will be handed over to you."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then turned his attention to the old butler, and continued: "As for Ward and the four maids, they are still assisting the barracks, building the magic array for sewage treatment, and cleaning the lord's mansion."

"Obey! Your lord, leave everything to your subordinates."

The old butler gave a standard gentleman's salute and responded respectfully.

"Sean, for the time being, you can help chef Rudy and the others build the kitchen. Today I will send someone to investigate the distribution of the pterosaurs in the surrounding area, and fix your mounts as soon as possible."

Lei Xiao shook the steaming teacup, and ordered to the captain of the pterodactyl knight.

"Follow your orders! Lord Lord!"

Sean, who was dressed in shining plate armor, immediately bowed and saluted.

"As for Xueya and Faxia, they are still refining Qi Condensation Pill."

Lei Xiao looked at the two aristocratic alchemists standing respectfully, and ordered again: "In addition, the materials required for the third-order potion have almost been collected, especially the star pattern magic pill, which is an important part of the territory. The most important."

Lei Xiao nodded to the two of them, and added: "I hope you will improve your alchemy level as soon as possible, so as to lay the foundation for the next higher level of potions."

"Please rest assured, my lord, my subordinates will go all out!"

Xueya and Faxia bowed together and said in unison.

"As for the other powerhouses, follow me to Kongqing Town in a while."

After drinking the fragrant tea in the cup, Lei Xiao clapped his hands, motioning for everyone to disperse.

After this, Lei Xiao soon came to the small gate on the west side of the territory.

Surrounding Lei Xiao are five people, Hu Zhang, Chao Yan, A Ling, A Bing, and Bai Wei.

Needless to say, Tier [-] knotweed, Chao Yan, A Ling, and Ah Bing have all reached the peak of Tier [-].

Even Bai Wei, who is a mount, has reached the level of the third-order seven-star.

"Okay, let's go now."

Lei Xiao nodded to the people beside him, turned over and stepped onto the giant white wolf with soft fur.

Then, under the shocking eyes of the gate guards, the group of people turned into a phantom and disappeared in front of the city gate in an instant.

……

Accompanied by a gust of wind and lightning, after arriving at the densely populated Kongqing Town, the six Lei Xiao, who had already put on the illusion cloak, went straight to the secret room of the Shanglu Trade Fair.

"My lord, this is how it happened."

Lei Xiao had just taken his seat, and Lin, who had been waiting here, immediately said, "After investigation by my subordinates, this princess maid from Kongqing Town is completely a commoner, and she has been away from home for more than ten years. Given the circumstances of the background, it is not easy to be promoted to the third-tier powerhouse by one's own strength, and after many selections, to become the princess's personal maid."

"It's a good seedling."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then asked, "How much do you know about this maid's specific information?"

"Master Hui, this maid is named Xinghui, and her profession is a sword dancer, a physics profession between an assassin and a swordsman."

Lin straightened her long hair that was tied behind her head, and responded respectfully: "Currently, Xinghui is serving Ariel, and I went home once during the period, but I haven't seen the long-lost family."

"Oh? Why is that?"

There was a hint of doubt on Lei Xiao's face, and he frowned and asked: "Isn't her home in Kongqing Town?"

"That being said, the lord doesn't know anything."

Lin also raised her willow eyebrows, and continued to introduce: "Many years ago, when the former city lord was in power, he and Magnet Town, another town located in the northwest of Kongqing Town and under the Baibu Mountains, jointly developed a mine vein and moved it to A large number of civilians have been sent to carry out mining work, and Xinghui's family is one of them."

After a pause, Lin shook her head helplessly: "The residents of Kongqing Town have not returned to their hometown so far, and are still stranded in Magneto Town."

"It turns out that there is such a thing."

On Lei Xiao's face, there was a hint of hesitation.

Regarding Magnetic Town, Lei Xiao had already heard Lin's report before.

This city is about a day and a half away from Kongqing Town by carriage. It is located at the foot of the Baibu Mountains, and its scale is almost the same as that of Kongqing Town.

Like the more distant Songlin City, it is a mining town mainly engaged in ore mining.

At the same time, it is also the northern area of ​​Kongqing Town, the nearest large town.

"My lord, I also heard that the residents of Kongqing Town are often squeezed out by the local residents of Magneto Town, and their lives are very bad."

Immediately, Lin, who was full of helplessness, bowed and added again.

"Understood, then let's go to Magneto Town."

Lei Xiao stretched his muscles and said leisurely to the subordinates beside him: "Now I am the master of Kongqing Town, and I will never allow the residents under my rule to be oppressed by others."

"The Lord is mighty!"

Hearing Lei Xiao's sonorous and forceful words, all the subordinates were excited and said in unison.
