Chapter 1053: Inside the dark castle
Latest website: "One is the manner in which Her Majesty the Queen behaves."
Lei Xiao glanced at the group of strong vampires standing silently behind the Scarlet Queen, and said calmly: "Currently, the Iron Hand Archipelago has encountered a major crisis, and everyone is panicking. However, Her Majesty the Queen still talks and laughs calmly. This is obviously not what a female official can do. actions.
"His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, do you mean to say that everyone is frowning and thinking of ways to think about the future of this country, but I am the only one who is staying out of the matter, as if it is none of my business?"
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, the Scarlet Queen's fair and delicate face became a little gloomy, and she frowned and asked: "Do you think I am not worthy of being the king?"
"On the contrary, that's what I admire about Her Majesty."
Lei Xiao's face was calm and composed, and he said calmly: "In the final analysis, the so-called frown is just a way of expressing emotions, and it has nothing to do with anything else."
"If Her Majesty the Queen, who holds the supreme power, is also frowning like others, this country has really lost its future."
"After all, the superior himself is the beacon in the hearts of his subordinates. Once the beacon flickers, people will be in panic, and the consequences are self-evident."
"The landslide in front does not change the color, and the tsunami remains silent in the back. This is the example of a king in the heart."
Lei Xiao looked at the mature, gentle and delicate face of the Scarlet Queen and smiled: "Her Majesty the Queen has perfectly interpreted this."
"As expected of the Holy Lion Prince from another world, who is famous throughout the human nations. I only heard that His Highness is a **** in his military skills, but I didn't expect that His Highness's views are also quite extraordinary."
The blood queen's fair face returned to normal, and she raised her eyebrows and said, "Moreover, my Iron Hand Islands is not the only country that is currently in a life-and-death crisis, right? And someone is also extremely calm and composed."
At this point, the implication of the vampire queen is self-evident.
Although Lei Xiao was praising her on the surface, he was actually using it to flatter himself.
"Her Majesty the Queen was just joking. I had no other intentions."
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Lei Xiao changed the subject and continued: "The second is the title that was inadvertently revealed in Her Majesty the Queen's words."
"Her Majesty the Queen only uses honorifics when addressing herself, but when addressing other high-level vampires, she uses their names or positions directly instead."
When he said this, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said: "Such courage is obviously not something that a female official can achieve."
"I am even more and more impressed by His Highness the Holy Lion Prince who can even notice such trivial things."
The Scarlet Queen crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows slightly: "As for the third thing, the matters I asked about are too intensive and completely beyond the scope of a female official's functions, right?"
"Yes, at first I thought "Your Majesty Karina" was sent by Her Majesty the Queen to test me, but then I thought about it. Her Majesty the Queen is wise and there is no need to do this. She can just ask in person. "
Lei Xiao nodded, still maintaining a faint smile and said: "I have to say that Her Majesty the Queen's actions really exceeded my expectations."
"His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince is ridiculous. Ahead is my castle. Let's move on. Letting guests stand in the courtyard is not the way we treat guests in the Iron Hand Islands."
The Scarlet Queen nodded to Lei Xiao, and then began to lead the way again.
After passing the large garden where the fog became thicker and thicker, a huge dark castle appeared in front of Lei Xiao and his party.
Compared with the Lion's Castle, which is almost the same size, this dark castle is shrouded in mist, with a line of bats passing by in mid-air from time to time. It is a little less imposing, but has a little more eerie atmosphere.
"It's really starting to smell like a vampire."
Lei Xiao looked at the hazy surroundings and smiled helplessly in his heart.
If his territory hadn't been in danger, and if there were other options, maybe he wouldn't have come to the Iron Hand Islands to dance with the vampires.
Lei Xiao was thinking this while, under the guidance of the Scarlet Queen, he headed towards the interior of the dark castle.
Entering the gate of the black castle, Lei Xiao noticed quite unexpectedly.
Compared with the unspectacular outside, the interior of the castle exudes luxury and magnificence, except that the light is slightly dim.
On the freshly painted white walls, portraits of vampire-style characters were hung.
Pale faces, black eye circles, vaguely visible fangs, and black tuxedos are all present. Lei Xiao can only easily identify the characters in each painting based on their hairstyle, beard, and clothing.
"These are all members of the royal family of my blood clan since the blank era. Although my blood clan's lifespan is long, they cannot avoid returning to dust after all."
The Scarlet Queen shrugged and wrote lightly: "Of course, this does not equal the history of the Iron Hand Islands. It only took more than a hundred years to control this country."
"Compared to the human race, you who can easily survive for thousands of years can indeed easily take root and control power in any country, and eventually aspire to the throne."
Lei Xiao mused while walking in the quaint corridors of the castle: "Let me guess, before the Iron Hand Islands were isolated from the world, there was no news of any power disputes."
"So, Her Majesty the Queen did not use force when she ascended the throne, she just followed the trend."
At this point, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "As for the method used, marriage? No, for the vampires with long lifespans, there is no need to be so troublesome. That means the original royal family of the Iron Hand Islands has died out, right? "
"As expected of His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, he always hits the mark."
The sound of the Scarlet Queen's red high heels hitting the ground was particularly loud in the spacious corridor.
Just listen to her reply: "The Iron Hand Islands have always been at odds with the Kingdom of Grim. Over the past hundreds of years, many members of the royal family have taken the lead and died in battles with the Kingdom of Grim."
"But my blood clan was one step away from the game, and it was also because we were defeated by the alliance of the three major forces, the Kingdom of Grim, the Pars Empire and the Temple of Light, that we had no choice but to come to the Iron Hand Islands."
As she spoke, the Scarlet Queen clenched her fists and said in a deep voice: "They have slaughtered countless top warriors and innocent subjects of my blood clan. When the time comes, I will never let them go."
"Sorry, Your Highness the Holy Lion Prince, I got off topic."
The Scarlet Queen, who knew she had lost her temper, calmed down and continued describing.
"As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Although the royal family of the Iron Hand Islands at that time cooperated with the Temple of Light to encircle and suppress us, they actually provided us with shelter and a place to recuperate."
"My blood race has always been at odds with the human race, but we also know that a favor must be repaid, so we secretly eliminate those ministers bribed by the Kingdom of Grim in order to consolidate the rule of the Royal Family of the Iron Hand Islands."
"During this process, my blood clan naturally established a firm foothold in the palace and became a royal guardian-like existence."
"Until the last monarch died without heirs, my blood clan, which was at the height of its power, naturally became the new king."
"Of course, in the eyes of the outside world, this is just a normal dynasty change. After all, my blood family has already firmly occupied the high position of prince. With the superficial status of a human noble, it is not surprising that we will follow the trend."
After hearing what the Scarlet Queen said, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and said, "So, did your Majesty be crowned king at that time?"
"No, His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince finally guessed wrong once."
The Scarlet Queen raised her eyebrows and responded: "To be precise, I am the second queen of the Blood Dynasty of the Iron Hand Islands, and the first queen is my sister."
When the Scarlet Queen said this, a door to the room opened in front of the group of people.
Looking inside the door, Lei Xiao noticed.
Although the lighting is slightly dim, it is spacious and clean, and a high throne can be vaguely seen at the end, which is obviously the king's meeting hall.
I saw that in the center of the meeting hall, tables, chairs and refreshments had been set up for reception, and two rows of pale vampire maids were standing in order, waiting respectfully.
"Currently, our Iron Shou Islands are in trouble. This is already the highest level of hospitality."
The Scarlet Queen took a step forward, nodded slightly to Lei Xiao and said, "His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, please come in."
"Your Majesty the Queen, you are so polite. We are both from the far end of the world. How can we meet each other before?"
Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, and immediately entered the slightly gloomy Hall of the Blood King.
Under the respectful guidance of several vampire maids, Lei Xiao noticed as the group of people sat down one after another.
The Scarlet Queen did not sit on the throne at the top, but sat directly opposite us with several vampire ministers.
"His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, this is our Spirit Wand Prince Velentin of the Iron Hand Islands..."
As soon as the two parties sat down, the Scarlet Queen made the introduction first.
After the two sides finished introducing each other and greeting each other, Lei Xiao took further notice.
Although all the vampire ministers were secretly wary, on the surface the atmosphere between the two parties was still very harmonious.
As for the Scarlet Queen herself, her face was full of sincerity, and she looked like she knew everything and could tell her everything.
But Lei Xiao clearly understood in his heart that this vampire woman was too smart.
After he showed considerable sincerity, the other party not only accepted the order, but also reciprocated the favor, telling the entire process of the Blood Tribe's rule of the Iron Hand Islands without any hesitation.
This seems to be a sincere attitude, but if you believe it completely, you will be in trouble.
Regardless of the fact that the other party pretends to be a female officer and comes to test it in person, one can tell one thing or two just from the occasional warnings shown by these important officials of the blood clan.
And although the other party claims to be isolated from the world, he knows everything about the other six human nations, and he obviously still has a lot of ambitions.
"In any case, what I am representing now is not only myself, but also the entire Lengyan Kingdom's monarchs, ministers and people, as well as the alien lords of the Xiaoshen Group. There must not be any negligence."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath.
Now I am not familiar with the other party, and the cooperation between one country and another country is nothing more than common interests and opponents. After all, I do not yet have strong force to make the other party surrender.
Therefore, if you want to successfully win over the other party, apart from the "Blood Feast Ceremony", the current strategy is to only start with a common opponent to persuade the other party to the maximum extent.
After all, I have too much time to take care of myself now. Even if I promise more benefits, once I am destroyed, it will all be empty talk.
"To be honest with Her Majesty the Queen, a total of 40 legions including the royal legion and wealthy legion stationed near the royal capital of Leng Yan Kingdom have all set off this morning. Except for a small number of reinforcements in the eastern region, the rest have all headed towards the Sunset Fortress."
Lei Xiao's words were calm, but they revealed great power.
Just like what Lei Xiao said, the enemy is currently in the north, Luolong City, and Mountain Fort Fortress, and it is premised on the premise that we already have countermeasures.
Lei Xiao did send out 15 of the 20 royal regiments, 15 merchant army regiments, and 10 directly affiliated regiments this morning.
Only one guard regiment without a leader and four ordinary royal regiments were left to guard the royal capital and surrounding areas.
Among the 40 legions dispatched, except for the demon-hunting legion led by Benson, who went to his hometown of Luolong City to take charge of the overall situation and resist the orc army, the rest marched towards the west.
However, since the Sunset Fortress in the west and the Rainforest Fortress in the south both have to travel a long distance, Lei Xiao is not completely sure which direction to send the army in.
Of course, at least under the current situation, there is no problem in saying this.
As soon as Lei Xiao said this, before the Scarlet Queen could speak, the burly Spirit Staff Prince Virundin immediately asked: "His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, do you mean that in the invading five-way army, the Cold Flame Kingdom must use all its strength?" To deal with the Grim Kingdom?
"That's right, we, the Cold Flame Kingdom, have no feud with the Kingdom of Grim, but the other party took this opportunity to add insult to injury. The king even went so far as to lead a personal expedition and take the lead in bringing the smoke and flames of war to my people. This caused controversy within my palace. Very dissatisfied."
Lei Xiao nodded calmly and responded: "So, I want to make it clear to the other party. If you want to take advantage of the chaos and take advantage of the soft persimmon of the Cold Flame Kingdom, you have to see if the Kingdom of Grim has the pair. Iron hand."
"In other words, I will make the Kingdom of Grim pay a price that it cannot afford."
As soon as Lei Xiao said these words, there was a wave of waves in the opposite vampire camp.
"The Lancaster family of the Cold Flame Kingdom is already stationed at the Sunset Fortress. Counting the upcoming merchant merchant family and the Royal Legion, the total force of the Sunset Fortress will reach more than 600,000. Judging from the number of main legions alone, In terms of quality, this is not much worse than the Kingdom of Grim!"
"That's right, with this kind of strength comparison, and with the Holy Lion Prince presiding over the overall situation, there is no way the Kingdom of Grim can easily break through the Sunset Fortress's defenses!"
"If the Grim Kingdom's millions of troops fall into a protracted war and a war of attrition, the country's power will be greatly damaged!"
"The most important thing is that the defenses of the cities along the coastline of the Kingdom of Grim are weak. This is a good opportunity for us and the vampires to take revenge!"
While all the vampire ministers were whispering to each other, the Scarlet Queen frowned slightly and said calmly: "Your Highness the Holy Lion Prince, you seem to have forgotten something important, right?" (End of Chapter)
