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

Chapter 911

After Chester finished speaking, the banquet hall was silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely dignified.

Not only the 20 northern city lords present, but also the other ladies and noble ladies who attended the meeting were all panic-stricken and began to look at each other in blank dismay.

Didn’t the benevolent and wise Highness Ariel and the respected guest just returned a large amount of food to the northern border?Are you ready to march to the north again, bringing death and mourning?
But isn't Her Highness Ariel known for her kindness and kindness?Why do you want to burn the flames of war again on this piece of permafrost that was once riddled with holes?
All of a sudden, pairs of flustered and unbelievable eyes were projected on Ariel and Lei Xiao one after another, with a sense of accusation.

"I didn't expect Chester to point his sword at Ariel's kindness. Now things have become a little troublesome."

Caroline, who has been paying attention to the development of the situation, couldn't help tightening her slender willow eyebrows when she saw this.

You know, Ariel's long-standing dream is to let the people of Lengyan live and work in peace and contentment, and to completely eradicate slavery. In fact, she is working hard like this.

If you use troops against the neutral cities in the north, it means that Ariel has spread the flames of war that she least wants to see on this vast frozen land, which undoubtedly violates Ariel's original intention.

Once these become established facts, plus Chester and others yelling innocent, I am afraid that Ariel's reputation will plummet. No matter how you think about it, this is not a good deal.

"My sister Keqing, the other party is trying to make a fuss about public opinion and put you and Ariel in an unkind situation. It depends on how you respond."

Thinking of this in her heart, Caroline folded her arms and looked at Lei Xiao with great interest.

You know, most of the nobles in the northern border are stubborn by nature, but they also have the cunning and vision that nobles must have. They can be described as a group of extremely difficult guys to deal with.

At the same time, Ariel who was on the side heard Chester's words, and looked at Lei Xiao solemnly.

"Ignite an innocent neutral city to war? Your Excellency the Marquis, isn't this remark embarrassing?"

Noticing the gazes cast by the two princesses one after another, Lei Xiao's face remained calm, and while walking towards the tense crowd, he said indifferently: "Everyone should know that except for the northern border, Lengyan has been ignited everywhere now. There is a war, or a war is about to be ignited."

"Especially in the eastern region and the central region, where the people of Lengyan have already sunk several times in the vortex of blood and fire. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as starving and dying."

"Under such circumstances, if using troops on the northern border can completely quell the flames of war in Lengyan, then both His Royal Highness Ariel and myself are willing to be the ones you say bring down the flames of war."

As soon as Lei Xiao said this, Chester and other northern city lords, who originally thought things would turn around, couldn't help showing shock, obviously they didn't expect Lei Xiao to continue to insist on his own way.

"If we don't stop all of this, the flames of war will eventually spread to the entire northern border, so we have no choice. There is an abyss behind us, and we have no way out."

Lei Xiao slowly walked in front of the northern city lords, his voice getting louder and louder.

"Everyone, do you really think that as long as you remain neutral, you can be alone? Don't you know that there will be no eggs when the nest is overturned?"

"The three great aristocratic families who have always coveted the throne, once they successfully support the fourth prince to take the throne, do you think they can really protect the Lengyan Kingdom with one heart and one mind?"

Lei Xiao's words were sonorous and forceful, and each word trembled in the hearts of the northern lords.

"The answer is of course no. In order to fight for power and profit, the three great aristocratic families will inevitably drag the Lengyan Kingdom into endless wars. The result is naturally very obvious."

"At that time, there will be only two fates for the cities in the northern border. Either they will become cannon fodder for the power war of the three giants, or they will be swallowed up by the resurgent Pars Empire. There will never be peace from now on."

Lei Xiao's sharp gaze swept across the faces of the northern city lords again, and said softly, "Is this the future you all want?"

"This……"

As soon as Lei Xiao finished speaking, no matter whether it was Zilvini, Chester or other northern city lords, they were speechless again, and began to frown and meditate.

And the small group of northern city lords who originally agreed with Lei Xiao and Ariel were already determined to swear allegiance to Ariel.

"So, Her Highness Ariel and I hope that everyone can recognize the reality and not rest on their laurels."

Seeing that the scene was beginning to reverse, Lei Xiao's voice softened a little.

"Now swear allegiance to Her Royal Highness Ariel. You will fight for your future against the cold new king. Once Her Royal Highness Ariel is crowned, you will all be the greatest contributors! Share the supreme glory with the new king!"

After Lei Xiao finished speaking, the small group of city lords couldn't bear it any longer, they knelt down on one knee before Ai Lier, and performed the royal salute.

"Your servant, Rosborough, is willing to lead Frost City to swear allegiance to His Royal Highness Ariel!"

"My subject, August Sark, is willing to lead Xueye Town to swear allegiance to His Royal Highness Ariel!"

"Your servant, Kolderweiss, is willing to lead the Cracked Ice Castle to swear allegiance to His Royal Highness Ariel!"

……

However, even though five northern city lords had sworn allegiance one after another, the other 5 were still full of hesitation, obviously not making up their minds.

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao, who knew that he had already succeeded halfway, heaved a sigh of relief and nodded to Caroline.

At present, the hearts of most of the northern city owners have actually been shaken.

Under such circumstances, as long as Caroline, who has a good reputation in the north, comes forward, it will undoubtedly further strengthen our authority.

"Everyone, if you are really thinking about your fiefdom and people, then you should take up arms and fight for your own future with your own hands."

Caroline understood, took a step forward and stared firmly and said: "Many people present must have guessed that thanks to some kind of help from Your Excellency Ke Qing, the frontier army of the Fortress that I am leading also participated in the battle that just ended not long ago. The Battle of Stargazing Corridor."

"It was an exciting battle, and it also allowed me to see the long-lost dawn of the Cold Flame Kingdom."

While Caroline was feeling emotional, her sassy voice became more determined.

"And now, I solemnly declare here that I have decided to lead the [-] frontier troops of the Bufall Fortress, as well as the royal family's blade army, to form an alliance with my sister, the fifth princess, Ariel, and we will live and die together until the end of my life!"

As soon as Caroline said this, it really caused an uproar in the banquet hall.

This has undoubtedly been explained from the side. Her Highness Caroline, the third princess who is also a member of the royal family, has completely stood by His Highness Ariel's side, and fully supports Her Highness Ariel's ascension to Lengyan's throne!

Realizing this in their hearts, quite a few of the city lords of the northern region who remained neutral showed a bit of slack. Even the city lord of Silver Snow City, Cilvini, showed a wavering expression on her fair face.

"Everyone, it's time to make a decision."

Keenly aware of the changes in Cilvini and the others, Lei Xiao strikes while the iron is hot, and said sternly: "Whether you should take up arms and fight for your own future, or sit and wait for the judgment of doom, if you choose the former, you will continue the family tradition." Glory, and if you choose the latter, you will perish with your city!"

Looking at Lei Xiao's shining black eyes, I saw that Cilvini's fair face finally stopped hesitating, and immediately with a firm expression on her face, she knelt down on one knee towards Ariel and said, "Your servant, Zilvini Bingpo, is willing to Lead Yin Xuecheng and swear allegiance to His Royal Highness Ariel! Her Highness Ariel will be crowned king!"

"His Royal Highness Ariel will be crowned king!"

After Cilvini took the lead, the other nine northern city lords also knelt on the ground, swearing their loyalty to Ariel.

So far, 20 of the 15 northern city lords have sworn allegiance, leaving only 5 people including Chester, who have not expressed their attitude and still seem stubborn.

"I have focused on investigating Chester before. This guy is a typical northern nobleman. Although he is extremely stubborn and rigid, he is also an upright person who will repay his kindness. He is deeply loved by the common people under his rule."

Looking at Chester's burly and tall body, Lei Xiao slightly raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart: "To deal with such a guy, I'm afraid we need some little seasoning."

"Your Excellency the Marquis, I once heard His Royal Highness Ariel mention that Drifting Ice City, your family's fief, had a very tragic battle that year, which completely wiped out the minions of the Pars Empire entrenched here. "

Lei Xiao nodded to Chester and chose a new topic.

"I didn't expect Her Royal Highness Ariel and Your Excellency Ke Qing to be involved in the history of Liubing City. I am flattered."

Chester looked at Lei Xiao in surprise and cautiously. Although he didn't understand the latter's intention, he nodded and said, "Yes, it was a battle like purgatory. My Lengyan soldiers fought bloody battles. Melted the enemy's ice fortress with fiery blood, and finally opened the door to victory."

"During that battle, the two main legions of His Majesty the Iron Wrist King, one royal legion, and three rebel legions in the north of our territory, a total of tens of thousands of soldiers stained the battlefield with blood, completely eradicating the [-] Paars entrenched in Ice Flow City. The defenders of the Sri Lankan Empire."

Chester sighed softly, and said heavily: "We and the people of the northern border will never forget His Majesty the Iron Wrist King, and we will never forget the soldiers under His Majesty's command! Without their fighting to the death, the northern border is still the same Will be occupied by the demons of Pals! It is because of them that we and other descendants of the northerners will not have to continue to be slaves!"

"Then, Your Excellency the Marquis, it is obvious that they or their descendants are suffering from the torment of war and are in the same situation as they were in the northern border."

Lei Xiao's tone was gentle, but revealed an undeniable force, and continued to prompt: "His Royal Highness Ariel is fighting for them and their descendants, should you stand by and watch?"

"This……"

Hearing Lei Xiao's words, Chester and the other stubborn northern city lords were at a loss for words again, and suddenly became enlightened.

After looking at each other for a few times, there was no hesitation in the eyes of the five people including Chester.

I saw Chester stepping forward, with a face full of gratitude and guilt, and said: "Your Excellency, please forgive me for being rude before, thanks to your words that awakened the dreamer, I have truly recognized the reality!"

"Only by joining His Royal Highness Ariel's camp, can we fight for the future and repay the friendship owed in the past."

Having said that, Chester knelt down on one knee and bowed his head to Ariel: "Your servant, Chesterbrook, is willing to lead Drift Ice City to swear allegiance to His Royal Highness Ariel, and is willing to seize the throne for His Royal Highness Ariel! "

After Chester finished speaking, the other four northern city lords also knelt down on the ground full of excitement, swearing their loyalty from the bottom of their hearts.

"Please get up, I have already felt your fiery heart and high fighting spirit."

Ariel, who was full of awe, helped up Chester and the last five northern city lords one by one, and immediately walked in front of all the northern city lords, and said solemnly: "Everyone, I am very pleased that you have joined us, and it also makes me happy." I saw the demeanor and unyieldingness of the nobles in the north."

"I believe that with everyone's assistance, those youngsters who covet the throne will not be able to succeed in the end!"

After Ariel finished speaking, the 20 northern city lords headed by Cilvini, Chester and others knelt down on one knee again, and said in unison: "I am willing to fight for His Highness Ariel, and His Highness Ariel will definitely fight for you!" Be crowned king!"

And the other noble ladies and noble ladies have already prostrated themselves on the ground with excitement, silently swearing their loyalty.

For a moment, the banquet hall, which was originally full of wind and waves, was already full of hearts, and the atmosphere was turbulent and enthusiastic.

Seeing this exciting scene, both Ariel and Caroline breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time looked at Lei Xiao who looked calm.

The former was naturally full of excitement and pride. After all, it was thanks to his lord that he was able to surrender the 20 neutral northern city lords without bloodshed.

While the latter was excited, there was a complex and strange color in the eyes looking at Lei Xiao, and he felt that his heart was agitated like never before.

Apart from my own father, I am afraid that no one can do such an amazing thing, right?

Lei Xiao, who was the focus of the two Leng Yan princesses, raised his eyebrows slightly.

Although it took some small talk, he still achieved his set goal and brought 20 northern cities under his control.

The number of cities in the Lengyan Kingdom under his command has reached 73.

At the same time, the entire northern territory has also entered its own territory.

"Combined with the eastern region and part of the central region, half of the country of Lengyan Kingdom is completely in my hands."

Thinking of this with joy in his heart, Lei Xiao was full of fighting spirit.

As for the next thing, it is natural to prepare for the battle with all your strength, and the battle with the fourth prince will determine the outcome.

"While preparing for the battle with all my strength, I still have one extremely important thing to do, which will determine the success or failure of the decisive battle."

Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to think secretly.
