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

Chapter 372 The Uninvited Guest of Kongqing Town

At this moment, looking at the subordinates who stood respectfully in the lower position, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a pensive expression again.

"According to what Carol, the captain of the garrison army in Shuiyue City, my next target to conquer is Jubai, the general of the Holy Light next to Ariel, who was born about three days away from Mailan Town by carriage. Between the towns, Red Arrow Town on the lower bank of the river."

"Five years ago, this was an ordinary fishing town, run by a declining earl family."

"And as an orphan, Jubai came from the monastery in this town, and was lucky enough to be adopted by the castellan's family in the end. This is considered to have received a formal education, which laid a good foundation for his future fame."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao took the white porcelain cup handed over by the maid, and continued to think while looking at the steaming black tea in it.

"However, just when Jubai, who became an adult, joined the Lengyan royal family's army and began to make his mark on the battlefield, there was a very professional bandit robbery in Chijian Town."

"As a result, the city lord's mansion and the garrison of Chijian Town, including Jubai's adoptive parents, were completely wiped out, making Chijian Town a land of no one overnight. The monastery where Bai was in when he was a child was not spared, and was directly burned by the flames."

Taking a sip of the steaming tea, Lei Xiao couldn't help but frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought again.

"Finally, after a series of investigations, it was found that the culprit of all this was the Marquis Rocky, the city lord of Songluo City in the surrounding area. The so-called bandits were nothing more than elite soldiers under his command in disguise."

"As for its purpose, it is also very simple. It is to take Chijian Town as its own, and then develop the breeding of bead monsters, making Chijian Town a cash cow for itself."

"And this move has caused a lot of casualties among the local residents of Chijian Town. After all, the Bead Monster is an extremely vicious and difficult to manage monster."

"Of course, the lives of these low-level people naturally don't care about the aloof Marquis Rocky."

Taking another sip of the steaming black tea, Lei Xiao's brows became even tighter as he continued to think.

"According to Carol's further description, I also learned that these things were finally admitted by the Marquis of Rocky himself."

"However, since standing behind her is the most powerful eldest prince of the Lengyan royal family, even though Jubai, who has learned all the truth, still has nothing to do with him, so he can only let the enemy continue to attack her. Hometown reckless."

After drinking more than half of the black tea in the cup, Lei Xiao couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly again, thinking to himself.

"Therefore, the matter is undoubtedly very simple and clear. If you want to subdue the Holy Light General Jubai, naturally you have to start with the Marquis of Rocky."

"The eldest prince behind him that others are afraid of, does not pose much threat to me, the lord of another world who is currently hiding in the dark."

"However, it will be a matter of time before there is a direct conflict with the eldest prince."

"After all, according to Xing Hui, Ariel's personal maid, and Qing Shu, the vice-captain of the personal guard, the eldest prince also participated in many assassinations of Ariel back then, and the methods were extremely vicious."

"It is conceivable that once the other party notices my existence, I am afraid that the Marquis of Rocky will inevitably become the other party's pawn and pose a considerable threat to me."

"Therefore, cutting off the opponent's wing in advance is only a matter of advantage and harm to me. At the same time, it will also make the successors of the Marquis of Rocky afraid."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

Without warning, his voice prompt suddenly sounded.

After the connection, Nan Xing's sassy voice came over immediately: "My lord, something unexpected happened! My subordinate and Nan Yue just found a person who appeared near the city lord's mansion in Kongqing Town." Suspicious, stealthy third-order peak powerhouse, and successfully subdued him."

As he spoke, Nan Xing's crisp voice became angrier: "After that, my subordinates discovered that before he was captured, he had quietly killed two waves of guards in Kongqing Town who were patrolling around. The army squad, it seems, is looking for an opportunity to sneak into the city lord's mansion!"

"He even killed two teams of my soldiers. This guy got himself a death pass."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao's face suddenly showed a trace of awe, and then asked: "Where is this person now?"

"Lord Lord, this person has been imprisoned in the secret dungeon in the City Lord's Mansion by his subordinates and Nanyue, and Lin and Guanzhong have immediately strengthened the vigilance around the City Lord's Mansion and completely blocked the news , Lord Lord, please rest assured."

Immediately afterwards, Nanyue's clean and clear voice reached Lei Xiao's ears again.

"You did a very good job. This matter is no small matter. The most urgent thing is to find out the origin of the other party. Stand by at the City Lord's Mansion. I will be there soon."

With a slight nod, Lei Xiao drank the rest of the tea in the cup, then looked at the main powerhouses such as Hu Zhang, Ye Cang, and Chao Yan at the lower position, and said, "Get ready to go, let's go to Kongqing Town first." Take a trip!"

"Follow your orders! Lord Lord!"

Hearing this, all the subordinates bowed immediately, all looking ready to go.

Accompanied by a gust of wind and lightning.

It didn't take long for Lei Xiao and his party to appear in the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion in Kongqing Town.

At this time, except for the six people, Hu Zhang, Ye Cang, Chao Yan, Bai Wei, A Ling, and A Bing.

There are also Nan Xing, Lin, and Fang Hai, who are small and exquisite, standing respectfully in the lower seats.

As for Nan Yue who was not present, after questioning, Lei Xiao found out.

The inarticulate twin sister is guarding the cold-blooded intruder in a secret dungeon.

"My lord, because the news was blocked in a timely manner, Princess Ariel and her party did not notice any abnormalities regarding this matter."

Lin stepped forward slightly, bowed and said, "Lord Lord, although Kongqing Town has implemented extremely strict access inspection measures, it still has little effect on these strong men who are above the third level and good at stealth.

"Therefore, my subordinates believe that in addition to building the barrier of the "Pupil of Insight" within the scope of the City Lord's Mansion, all the main roads in the surrounding area should be further strengthened. "

After pondering for a while, Lin added: "The specific method is to use the combination of clear whistle and dark whistle to deploy defensive forces as the first solid line of defense in the peripheral area."

"Lin, I'll leave these to you, just go ahead and do it."

Nodding his head slightly, Lei Xiao frowned slightly again and said, "Have you learned something about the other party's identity?"

"Return to the lord, this man is very tight-lipped. After being caught, he didn't say a word. He tried to commit suicide several times, but was stopped by his subordinates."

Lin and Nan Xing looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

"My lord, maybe my subordinates have some ideas."

Ye Cang took a step forward, bowed slightly and said.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Cang gracefully pushed the eyes on the bridge of his nose, and the metal skull necklace on his chest immediately reflected a dazzling cold light.

"Go ahead, no matter what means you use, as long as you can get some useful information."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly, signaling the other party to start action immediately.

As a dark priest, Ye Cang, who is good at mental attacks, can be regarded as specialized in dealing with such stubborn guys.

"Obey, please rest assured, my lord."

Bowing to Lei Xiao again, Ye Cang started to walk out of the hall under the guidance of Lin and Nan Xing.

After the three of them left, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then asked the old blacksmith in brocade robes, "Mr. Fang Hai, how are you preparing for the forging equipment?"

"Return to the lord, all the materials for forging [Bright Silver Bright Light Armor] have been collected, and the subordinates are in the process of forging."

I saw Fang Hai bowed slightly, and responded respectfully: "Also, my subordinate also obtained a new third-tier weapon blueprint [steel carbine spear] by using the resources of the City Lord's Mansion."

"Currently, most of the materials for the carbine have been collected, and only the most critical fine steel ingots are left. Fortunately, my subordinates have found some materials that are mainly produced by the dwarves."

Speaking of this, Fang Hai couldn't help showing a look of anticipation on his old face: "It is estimated that it will be delivered this evening. Although the quantity is not large, it should not be a problem to forge two or three."

"Steel ingot?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao's eyes lit up.

At this stage, if you want to continue to upgrade the lord's mansion.

The most important resource is the refined steel ingot, which is a level 3 rare resource.

In order to obtain this rare resource, Lei Xiao once disassembled all the Tier [-] metal equipment in his hand, but still got nothing.

"About the fine steel ingot, I wanted to ask Fang Hai for a while, but I didn't expect to have reached this point!"

Realizing this, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction, and said again: "Old Mr. Fang Hai, when the forging materials for the fine steel carbine are ready, we must forge a few as soon as possible. This is one of the most important things we do now. One, it must be done as a top priority."

"Obey! Please rest assured, my lord."

Fang Hai's old face was full of seriousness, and he saluted Lei Xiao again.

Next, Lei Xiao talked with Fang Hai for a while.

The door at the end of the hall was reopened.

Sisters Ye Cang, Lin, and Nan Xing Nanyue appeared in front of Lei Xiao.

At this point, it can be clearly seen.

There was still a happy smile on the corner of Ye Cang's mouth, as if he had just participated in a grand event.

"My lord, the matter has been fully clarified."

Ye Cang saluted gracefully, and then reported: "This person is from Songluo City, and he is the captain of Marquis Rocky's spy. There are three important tasks."

"The first is to spy on the new city lord of Kongqing, that is, your situation, my lord."

"The second is to spy on Princess Ariel's current situation."

"The third is to find out the current defense force and the number of strong people in Kongqing Town."

After speaking, Ye Cang bowed gracefully again, and stood aside respectfully.

"I didn't expect that I would be ranked first in the important task."

After listening to Ye Cang's report, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and murmured in his heart: "Speaking of which, this person is actually Jubai's enemy and the confidant of Marquis Rocky. Surprise, I haven't started to do anything yet, but this guy came to Kongqing Town first to plot evil."

"My lord, the Marquis of Rocky is one of the prince's loyal henchmen. I'm afraid this matter has something to do with the prince."

Lin pondered for a while, then frowned slightly and said, "In other words, this eldest prince is the real mastermind behind the scenes."

"It makes sense."

Nodding his head slightly, Lei Xiao couldn't help frowning slightly, thinking secretly in his heart.

"At first, I thought that the tentacles from the distant capital would reach out after a while."

"Looking at it now, leaving aside the other two princes, the eldest prince's faction alone is probably an extremely difficult opponent."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

Seeing that Ye Cang was a little embarrassed at first, he exchanged glances with Lin and the others who just came back together, and after hesitating for a moment, he reported again: "Lord Lord, there is actually one more thing."

"From this person's mouth, the subordinates also learned that according to Luo Ji's order, once it is confirmed that the lord is just a lord from another world, this person can directly kill the lord..."

Speaking of this, Ye Cang immediately added: "However, please rest assured, my lord, this person can no longer pose any threat to my lord."

"Well done, I'm afraid they don't have the ability to get rid of me."

With a faint smile, Lei Xiao stood up from the throne, walked towards the people in the lower position, and said, "In short, from the current situation, we can know that at least the tentacles of the eldest prince's faction have reached here."

"Therefore, we must work hard and make all preparations for the war that may come at any time."

I saw Lei Xiao, who had already walked to the side of the subordinates, with a slightly cold face, and first ordered to Lin: "As for the strengthening of the city defense of Kongqing Town, including the reinforcement of the walls and the excavation of the trenches, we must speed up the progress. In addition, The job of recruiting new soldiers must also be grasped at the same time."

"Obey! Please rest assured, my lord!"

Lin touched her chest and saluted, and responded: "Currently, Guanzhong is on the periphery of the city lord's mansion, directing the strengthening of the defense line, and the subordinates will pass on all the orders of the lord lord in a while."

"very good."

Nodding in satisfaction, Lei Xiao took a step forward and came to Nan Xing Nanyue again, and continued: "Thanks to you two this time, if you encounter this situation again next time, you must tell me as soon as possible report."

Speaking of this, Lei Xiao paused for a moment, and saw his mind move, a splendid dagger and a metal crossbow flashed out of thin air.

Then they were handed over to Nanxing Nanyue respectively, which were the fifth-order [Fengshen's Blade] and the fifth-order [Fengshen's Crossbow] that were upgraded in the Winged Human Clan's barrier area.

Looking at the twin sisters' expressions of surprise and joy, Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and said, "Keep working hard, the safety of the City Lord's Mansion will be left to you."

"Follow your orders! Lord Lord!"

A crisp voice sounded, and while being extremely excited, the two identical people immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads deeply to Lei Xiao.

"Okay, it's time for us to get started."

Slightly nodding his head, Lei Xiao turned around, and said to Hu Zhang, Ye Cang and others: "Let's go! Go to Chijian Town!"
