Chapter 1592: The Lord in the Banquet Hall
Under the grateful gazes of the Deer People, Lei Xiao looked around the messy and dilapidated banquet hall and the thin and haggard faces with an expressionless face, and said lightly: "It seems that everyone has realized what happened."
Surrounded by many powerful people, Lei Xiao slowly walked into the dim banquet hall and continued, "Yes, it was indeed us who put a lot of effort into ending this ridiculous dream despite the obstruction of a group of error correctors. But the one who really played a key role was not us, but her."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he slightly turned sideways and made way for a thin figure with a broken horn on his head in the team. It was undoubtedly Rosa.
Because of the overdrawn magic power, her face was still pale and her breathing was not steady, but she no longer had the urgency and anxiety she had before. Instead, she looked extremely calm and stable.
"Is it Elder Rosa?"
The deer people looked at the long-lost fair face and called out Rosa's name.
In addition to being surprised, Terry and the other deer people elders, all of them suddenly understood.
His Majesty the Human is right. The Moon Shadow Magic Circle is the core secret of the Deer People. Although His Majesty the Human is surrounded by powerful people, it is impossible for him to figure out the secret of the magic circle in a short time. The matter is self-evident.
"Long time no see, everyone. I am no longer an elder."
Rosa waved her hands quickly, lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, I entered the patriarch's castle without permission. I hope you won't blame me."
Hearing this, all the Deer People nobles looked a little embarrassed, especially Terry, who looked very uneasy. He still clearly remembered the scene when he had just become the patriarch.
"Rosa, your father acted on his own will and was determined to oppose the Broken Wing King, which resulted in our Moon Shadow Deer People suffering such a tragic defeat. The five most elite fifth-order legions were almost wiped out!"
Terry, who had just put on the crown of the chieftain, put his hands behind his back and said coldly to the deer girl with a sad face below him: "That guy has died violently, and he deserved it. What else do you have to say?"
"Uncle, you know that the Broken Wing King is tyrannical and has occupied all the mineral veins in the area around our Moon Shadow Deer People. He has brutally slaughtered our people, causing many miners and guards to die in a foreign land. Not to mention that his army is approaching and intends to fight against us and our allies."
Rosa's eyes were red and swollen. She said calmly, "Father is clearly fighting to protect the interests and future of the Moon Shadow Deer People. Why are you slandering my father like this?!"
"You are still talking nonsense. It is obvious that he overestimated his own abilities, which caused the Moon Shadow Deer Man to suffer heavy damage! The Broken Wing King has a huge momentum and many minions. How can he be a powerful existence that we can defeat?"
Terry flicked the sleeves of his robe and snorted coldly, "Don't bother to quibble anymore. It seems that you still don't repent. From today on, you are no longer an elder of the Moon Shadow Deer People. Get out of this clan leader's castle immediately and don't let me see you again!"
Hearing the sound, Rosa bit her red lips and clenched her fists, but finally she was unable to let go and left without looking back.
"Master, Elder Rosa is the leader of the younger generation of the Moon Shadow Deer People. She is also the youngest Deer People elder since the Blank Era and is quite famous in the tribe. Isn't this a bit too arbitrary?"
The Great Elder looked at Rosa's lonely back as she left, and an extremely complicated expression emerged on his wrinkled old face.
"It is precisely because of this that this clan leader kicked her out forever."
Terry folded his arms, gently stroked the patriarch's throne beside him, and said lightly: "Otherwise, how can this patriarch sit here peacefully?"
……
"Mr. Rosa, please raise your head. They are the ones who should lower their heads."
Just when the scene was dead silent, Lei Xiao's calm voice rang out: "They were supposed to be the stags protecting the tribe, but now they have become the black sheep that are almost destroying everything. Compared with them, you who saved everything are more qualified to stand here."
Hearing the sound, all the deer people, including Terry, lowered their heads, and their towering antlers also lowered.
"Mr. Rosa, what is the horn on your head...?"
After a while, the Great Elder asked in a low voice.
"In fact, you all should know it clearly, right?"
Before Rosa could speak, Lei Xiao took over the conversation and said calmly: "If she hadn't gritted her teeth and cut off her horns, she would probably be no different from you who are living a life of drunkenness and dreaming."
"I know that many deer people value the horns on their heads more than their lives. Rosa is willing to sacrifice her life for her tribe and has been fighting against the Moon Shadow Magic Circle alone. The sadness and bitterness of this are self-evident. As guardians, what have you done?"
After Lei Xiao said this, the deer people couldn't even raise their heads. However, Lei Xiao didn't stop talking. He looked at Terry and said, "Your Excellency Chief, is this the grand scene you just showed me?"
"This……"
Terry was speechless for a long time.
He clearly understood that before the Moon Shadow Magic Circle was activated, the Moon Shadow Deer Man had already been in a desperate situation, and now, he had been trapped in this false dream for such a long time. He simply couldn't imagine what a mess the entire Deer Man Forest had become.
While feeling confused and troubled, Terry's eyes involuntarily fell on Lei Xiao.
He had also heard of the great achievements of this young human emperor, and knew that the former had a very good foundation. And now, the only person who could turn the tide and save the Moon Shadow Deer People from danger was this human emperor!
With this in mind, Terry quickly bowed to Lei Xiao politely, and then tried to close the distance by saying, "Anyway, thank you, Your Majesty, for turning the tide and saving us, the Moon Shadow Deer People!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for turning the tide and saving us, the Moon Shadow Deer People!"
Others also echoed and said in unison.
"I just said it, the person you should thank is not me, but her."
Lei Xiao let Rosa out again, his voice light and casual.
Lei Xiao knew exactly what Terry was thinking.
After all, the purpose of his visit this time was to win over the Moon Shadow Deer People, and now, although some unexpected changes have occurred, fortunately everything has been resolved in the end.
With his current resources, it would be easy for him to provide the Moon Shadow Deer People with enough food and other urgently needed supplies to help them overcome the difficulties.
But then again, since I am in control of the situation and have given the Moon Shadow Deer People a chance to be reborn, I naturally have to pick a deer that I am satisfied with.
At this point, the matter is self-evident.
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, the Deer People nobles all rushed to express their gratitude to Rosa, which made the young and frail Deer People feel at a loss. After all, after being expelled from the Patriarch's Castle, she couldn't even find a stable place to live in Moon Shadow City, as if she had been completely forgotten.
Lei Xiao's next words made Rosa even more surprised and unbelievable.
"To be honest, the purpose of my trip is to be able to walk hand in hand with Moon Shadow Deer Man. Since those who walk side by side with me are in trouble, I will naturally not sit idly by."
Lei Xiao walked slowly among the deer people and said calmly: "I will provide everything the Moon Shadow Deer People need to the greatest extent possible, and even do my best to help the Moon Shadow Deer People return to their former peak."
Hearing what Lei Xiao said, the eyes of all the deer people widened and their faces were filled with ecstasy.
You know, this human emperor not only has the Stone Giant Chief willing to follow him, but also so many Half-step Seventh Order strongmen, which is enough to prove that he has already occupied a place in the second-rate forces.
In addition, the fact that he was able to overthrow third-rate forces and the human race was enough to prove that he was of great importance. Therefore, all the deer people clearly understood that the young human emperor in front of them really had the capital to do what he said and was willing to help them!
This is not just the emperor of the human race, he is simply their god!
Just as the deer people were rejoicing, Lei Xiao's voice sounded again: "Having said that, your performance in recent years has been too disappointing, and you almost destroyed the entire tribe. I don't feel comfortable handing these things over to an incompetent head deer."
Although Lei Xiao's words were extremely sharp, the deer people, including Terry, lowered their heads again.
Especially the deer people elders, who had actually been extremely disappointed with Terry, who was willful, incompetent and furious, but instead looked very approving.
"As for who I think is the right candidate, it's self-evident."
Lei Xiao turned his gaze to Rosa and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Your Majesty, you want me to be the leader?!"
Rosa looked at Lei Xiao's meaningful eyes, then she reacted, looking at a loss.
"It is because of your efforts that the Moon Shadow Deer Man was able to escape. In comparison, some people almost became the source of destruction."
Lei Xiao glanced at Terry, who immediately lowered his head again, not daring to look him in the eye.
Lei Xiao shifted his gaze to the group of deer people and continued, "We admire Rosa's bravery and perseverance. She has already become our comrade-in-arms in the fierce battle with the Correctors just now. Therefore, I will fully support Her Excellency Rosa. Do you have any other opinions?"
After saying that, all of our strong men slowly stepped forward, exuding a vast aura around them.
It is no exaggeration to say that facing this group of weak deer nobles who have just emerged from their dreams, Lei Xiao can immediately reshuffle everything with just one order.
"Your Majesty, they have all made great contributions to our Moon Shadow Deer People. Please don't make things difficult for them."
Seeing this, Rosa stepped forward subconsciously and spoke.
After seeing this scene, the deer people felt grateful, but also felt so guilty that they were speechless.
After her father died fighting for the tribe, this young deer girl not only did not receive the respect and care she deserved, but was instead expelled from the tribe leader's castle.
They had all been taken care of by the old patriarch and should have extended a helping hand, but due to Terry's power, they chose to ignore it all.
Now, when this deer-man girl appeared in front of them again and was actually speaking for them, how could they not sigh?
"Your Majesty, we have no objection. If we had allowed Her Excellency Rosa to take over the position of patriarch, we would never have fallen into this situation today!"
The great elder, whose face was filled with mixed emotions, stood up first, knelt down and saluted Rosa, saying, "Greetings, Chief. We are willing to overcome all difficulties under your guidance and make this forest full of vitality again!"
"Greetings, Lord Patriarch!"
The other deer people also made the same action, even Terry, who looked sad and ashamed.
"Everyone, please stand up. Although this is extremely sudden, I will do my best, just like my father did, until I die."
Rosa nodded heavily to Lei Xiao first, and then said solemnly: "From this moment on, we, the Moon Shadow Deer People, will be reborn!"
Soon, Lei Xiao was sitting in the reception room that had just been cleaned by the deer man servants.
And directly opposite Lei Xiao were a group of Deer People leaders led by Rosa.
As for Terry, Lei Xiao directly handed him over to Rosa for punishment, which also helped Rosa establish her authority.
"Your Excellency, Patriarch, I will make it short."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and described the fight against the Broken Wing King.
"Your Majesty, the Broken Wing King and I, the Moon Shadow Deer People, are sworn enemies. We will of course do our best to help him!"
Rosa nodded heavily without any hesitation.
All the deer people elders also made the same move and clenched their fists.
As the Broken Wing King became more and more unscrupulous in his plundering and oppression, this was actually what they had wanted to do a long time ago.
"only……"
Rosa hesitated for a moment, then said with embarrassment, "We, the Moon Shadow Deer People, have just survived this catastrophe. Our soldiers are extremely weak. Please don't blame us, Your Majesty."
"I am very clear about this, so what I need you to do is to send someone to help me contact other forces around me and serve as a backup force."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then said: "At present, everything is still unclear when King Duan Yi suddenly convened a meeting. There are many variables, and what we can do is to be as prepared as possible, or even take the initiative, and never fall into a passive situation."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. We will fully cooperate with Your Majesty! Your Majesty is the savior of the Moon Shadow Deer People. Your kindness to us is as great as a mountain. The Moon Shadow Deer People will always follow Your Majesty!"
Rosa still did not hesitate and saluted Lei Xiao by touching her chest.
"The chief is right. The Moon Shadow Deer People will never let their benefactors be humiliated!"
The deer people elders all nodded and said in unison.
"Very good. I will leave a lot of food in various places in the Deer Man Forest to solve your urgent needs. When the matter is over, I will provide more help."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and took a deep breath.
At this point, the meeting with the Broken Wing King is just around the corner.
Although I don't know what I'm about to face, or what the other party will do, it's probably not that easy to get the upper hand from me. (End of this chapter)
