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

Chapter 931 Showdown in Lionheart City
The travel-worn Lei Xiao, with Ariel, Lin and other main subordinates, just sat down and rested in the castle hall for a while, and news came one after another from the subordinates who were monitoring everywhere in Lionheart City.

"My lord, near the dungeon of the guards, I suddenly found traces of Han Shui. He is walking towards the dungeon with his cronies and guards. It looks like a bait to interrogate us!"

"My lord, Han Shui was found in the inner city's core Patriarch's castle. He was standing on the open-air balcony of the Patriarch's castle and rang the giant bell of the Shanglu family. It was a signal to gather members of the Shanglu family!"

"My lord, I found the whereabouts of Han Shui at the station of the guards. He has dispatched troops and led a large number of soldiers to march towards this hidden castle!"

After the three reports were over, Lei Xiao received three more messages in succession.

First, all the outer city gates of Lionheart City were closed, the thick gates fell, the suspension bridge of the moat was raised, and the city walls were full of heavily armed Guards soldiers and the Shanglu family's reserve army.

Second, all the inner city gates of Lionheart City are also closed, and even the airport not far away has stopped taking off and landing.

Thirdly, all the blocks in Lionheart City were quickly put under martial law. Except for the patrolling Guards soldiers, not even a fly could be seen on the streets.

This undoubtedly means that the main city of the Shanglu family is already in a state of war.

Since Lei Xiao had turned on the reading, the subordinates present, as well as the three elders, Keen, Aiwen, and Bazel, also heard the latest news.

As for the other three elders, together with some main subordinates, they continued to secretly monitor the target person Hanshui who appeared in three places at the same time.

"Han Shui's movements are so fast."

Ariel frowned, her fair face was full of seriousness: "When did this guy come back? It's so quiet."

"This is not surprising. To Hanshui, Lionheart City is like his own castle. It is naturally easy to return to the castle from the outside without being discovered."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, as expected.

Although Lei Xiao deployed the elite subordinates of the Instant Eye Squadron inside and outside all the entrances and exits of Lion Heart City, judging from the current situation, Han Shui obviously bypassed our eyeliner.

"Your Excellency, Han Shui appeared in three places at the same time. He must have used some kind of cover-up in an attempt to distract our attention and combat power. What shall we do next?"

Old Keen and the other two neutral elders looked at each other, and after seeing a trace of solemnity in each other's old eyes, he continued in a deep voice: "According to the old man's guess, the three cold waters that appeared at the same time are probably all The substitute, the real Hanshui has arrived at the owner's castle and is secretly manipulating everything."

"The old man thought so too."

Ai Wen gently stroked his gray beard, frowned and said: "This guy is extremely cautious and cunning, which undoubtedly shows that Han Shui has been keenly aware of Your Excellency Ke Qing's plan."

Hearing the words of the two elders, the subordinates couldn't help but also frowned.

The opponent appeared from three places at the same time, which really made people feel a little bit overwhelmed.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. Although this matter seems difficult to deal with, as long as you analyze Han Shui's motives for doing this one by one, the matter will be very simple."

Lei Xiao smiled lightly and began to express his opinion.

"First of all, the first place where Hanshui appeared was the dungeon. It must be to confirm our "bait". These two "bait" are of little importance to us, so there is no need to be distracted in this direction. "

Lei Xiao paced slowly in front of the crowd, but his speaking speed became faster and faster.

"Secondly, the second place where Han Shui appeared is the Patriarch's Castle, and he is gathering all the left-behind members of the Shanglu family. The purpose is actually very simple."

"That is to declare His Royal Highness Ariel and me as the public enemies of the Shanglu family, in an attempt to preemptively mobilize all family members to hunt down and kill them."

"After all, apart from the dog legs that are completely loyal to Hanshui, there are still quite a few members of the Shanglu family who are relatively neutral, but they are only acting on orders and are not our real enemies."

Lei Xiao's face remained calm, and he continued to express his views.

"It is conceivable that if we resist and clash with these neutral Shanglu family members, the hatred will definitely deepen, making us completely stand on the opposite side of the entire Shanglu family."

"At that time, even if Han Shui is successfully pulled down from the position of patriarch, it will be difficult for Lin, who is supported by us, to gain the approval of other family members."

"In other words, apart from Hanshui's loyal dogs, we should avoid confronting these neutral Shanglu family members head-on. Instead, we should use our tactics and take the opportunity to win over this part of the force."

Hearing what Lei Xiao said, the three elders including Ke En and the subordinates nodded thoughtfully and expressed their agreement.

"The most important thing is that this coincides with the second step of the plan we discussed a long time ago. In addition, as Elder Keen said, Han Shui must be hiding in the owner's castle."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and concluded: "So, this is where we focus and deploy most of our combat power."

"What Your Excellency Keqing said is very true. The supporters of the six people including the old man, and the collateral members such as Gail are simply unable to compete with the dog legs of Hanshui. Only by winning over the neutral family members can we occupy The family's absolute right to speak."

The gray eyebrows on Ke En's old face stretched a little, and he said in a deep thought: "In this way, combined with the majority votes of the Presbyterian Council in our hands, Lin Nizi can completely secure the seat of Shanglu Patriarch."

"But Your Excellency Ke Qing, there is still a key issue that has not been resolved."

Keane's gray eyebrows were twitched again, and his old face was full of tension. He said, "That's the last of Han Shui's three avatars. He's leading the army all the way to this hidden castle. How should we deal with it?"

As the chief elder of the Shanglu family, Keane clearly understood.

Since Han Shui's avatar personally led the troops here, it undoubtedly shows that he has doubts about the explosion of the castle yesterday and the lives and deaths of the four of them.

After all, the opponent's soldiers had been under the cover of illusion all the time, and they didn't find any corpses.

In this case, as long as the other party arrives here, the castle's illusion will be deciphered immediately, and at that time, the lives of himself and his family members will definitely be lost.

"Please rest assured Elder Keen, this is exactly what I need to deploy next."

Lei Xiao smiled lightly, and his tone remained calm: "The solution is actually very simple, as long as we don't let Hanshui's dog legs invade this castle."

"I will deploy a heavy army in this castle, and leave some main force strong enough to easily resist the siege of the army-level enemy army."

After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao nodded to Xiao Zhao who had transformed into a female knight of the human race.

As a small summoner of the God Stone Spirit, the exclusive skill is to summon a legion of Loren heavy cavalry. Although other arms can also be summoned, they are far less powerful and durable than the exclusive skills.

Therefore, as long as 1 heavy cavalry dismount and fight with bows, together with some main force and half-elf Mia, it is more than enough to defend the castle in a short time.

Hearing Lei Xiao's words, Old Keen felt relieved, and said with a grateful expression on his face, "I'll leave it all to Your Excellency, Ke Qing."

"You're welcome, then let's start arranging the defense immediately."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, nodding to signal Xiao Zhao, Randall, Gals, Lina, Chao Yan, Bai Wei and other main subordinates to follow Old Keen to deploy.

Lei Xiao clearly understood that this castle hidden by the illusion was the residence of old Keane and his family.

Only by making this place solid, can these four elders be grateful and serve us without distraction.

At the same time, after attracting part of the opponent's strength and attention here, he can better confront Hanshui in the owner's castle head-on.

After Keen and the others left, Lei Xiao's eyes shifted and fell on the two neutral elders, Ai Wen and Bazel.

Lei Xiao smiled faintly, nodded and said, "You two, since Hanshui has already summoned all the family members, the two of you can't be absent, so let's go to the Patriarch's Castle to have a look."

"To tell you the truth, you are extremely important to me and Your Highness the Princess, so please leave everything to you two."

After a pause, Lei Xiao added solemnly: "Of course, the state-level equipment afterwards is also indispensable."

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty, and Your Royal Highness, please rest assured, we will do our best!"

Aiwen and Bazel nodded heavily and said in unison.

The two neutral elders naturally understood clearly in their hearts.

Just as he had thought before, since Han Shui had already attacked Keen and the others without hesitation, it would be their turn next.

After all, they have repeatedly jumped between the two over the years, grabbing a lot of benefits that originally belonged to Han Shui's group, which may have already aroused Han Shui's murderous intentions.

Moreover, they not only took away Lei Xiao's meeting gift, but also got the promise of town-level equipment.

With the blessing of so many factors, the two of them have already served Lei Xiao wholeheartedly.

After that, Lei Xiao brought Ariel, Jiang Li, and Polygonum cuspidatum, and under the guidance of Aiwen and Bazel, they came to the center of the inner city, outside the Patriarch's castle.

Because it is protected by a high-level detection enchantment, Lei Xiao did not directly enter the interior of the Patriarch's Castle for the time being in order to avoid threatening others.

Instead, he hid with his subordinates on a few big trees not far away, where he could have a panoramic view of the gate of the Patriarch's castle and the garden in front.

Under the bright sunlight, Lei Xiao looked beyond the dense surrounding leaves and noticed further.

I saw that the gate of the Patriarch's castle was already open, and many powerful nobles in robes or armor were gathering in the gate one after another.

Although these nobles are male and female, and of different ages, they all have a common feature, that is, the stag coat of arms of the Shanglu family is engraved on their chests, and they all have a touch of aura on their faces. The faint arrogance unique to the nobility.

"After 600 years of reproduction, the Shanglu family in the interior of the Cold Flame Kingdom is flourishing. Except for the owner who holds the title of the only Grand Duke in the Cold Flame Kingdom, anyone who picks it up may be a Marquis or Earl , looking at it today, it really is true.”

Lei Xiao looked at the titles engraved above the clan crests of the Shanglu family members, and nodded thoughtfully.

I have to say that except for the auction in Fanyin City, I have never seen so many nobles gather together, and this is only the left-behind members of the Shanglu family.

"My lord, among these left-behind members, apart from Hanshui's supporters and neutral members, there are also quite a few collateral members. These members often carry out the heaviest work in Lionheart City. As long as your lord raises his arms, Coupled with the prestige of Uncle Gail, it is not difficult to get their support."

Leslie leaned close to Lei Xiao's ear, and introduced softly: "Of course, there are also friends of the subordinates, as well as subordinates of the elders such as grandfather, who will also support the lord."

Since Laisley is a leader among the younger generation of the Shanglu family and a well-known eldest lady in the family, she does have many playmates in the family, including quite a few suitors.

"It's really reassuring words."

Lei Xiao smiled faintly at Leslie, and said softly: "Okay, let's see how that Hanshui guy mobilizes all his power and prepares to hunt us down."

As soon as Lei Xiao's voice fell, hundreds of key members of the Shanglu family had already lined up in the courtyard of the Patriarch's Castle, waiting for Han Shui's speech.

Not long after, Lei Xiao was able to see a tall and straight middle-aged man dressed in pale gold and milk white knight casual clothes and a red velvet coat, appearing on the open-air balcony of the castle deep in the garden.

"Is this the cold water? Seeing is believing."

Lei Xiao squinted his eyes, looked at the indifferent face of the other party, and nodded thoughtfully.

According to Gail, Lin's father was originally the most gifted powerhouse among the collateral members of the Shanglu family for hundreds of years.

Lin's mother, on the other hand, came from a down-and-out aristocratic family, and her talents were also extremely good. The two of them had just reached their thirties, and both broke through the shackles and reached the admirable fourth-order level.

Over the past few years, Lin's father's strength has soared all the way, even approaching Han Shui, who had just ascended the throne of Patriarch at that time, so he was very popular in the clan.

This is naturally open-minded on the surface, but the dark cold water in the heart does not allow it, and the final result is self-evident.

In order to get rid of the two, Han Shui took advantage of his position as the head of the family and directly sent the two to the most intense and dangerous southern border battlefield at that time.

Moreover, he bribed the great elder of the Yorkman family who was in charge of the battlefield on the southern border at that time. In a battle where the enemy was outnumbered, he refused to send troops to support him. In the end, Lin's parents were left helpless and both died in the On the battlefield, even the bones were not found.

At that time, Lin had only just learned how to make soy sauce, and she knew nothing about her parents' experience, let alone that her parents who had been taking good care of her had passed away forever, and she became an orphan who was loved by no one.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly.

In Lei Xiao's mind, a small figure with a ponytail has emerged, sitting alone on the steps of the house day after day and year after year, waiting for his parents to come back.

"These were later discovered by Lin's father's friend, Gail, who secretly went to the southern border area to investigate."

"But even if you know this, Gail still can't do anything in the face of the deep-rooted cold water."

"Even today, Gail hasn't told Lin about all this, so Lin only knows that her parents died heroically on the frontier battlefield."

Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao sighed softly, and continued to stare at Han Shui's expressionless and indifferent face.
