Chapter 1564 Plans and Actions
When Lei Xiao walked out of the reception room again, the room had already become completely quiet.
Knox and the other black-armored warriors were all foaming at the mouth and twitching back and forth on the ground. Their blurry, purple and swollen faces were filled with fear and despair.
After teaching the other party a small lesson, Lei Xiao immediately started the next task, which was to grab some useful information from the other party's mind in order to further understand his opponent.
After all, although Lila and other stone giants were restrained by the opponent, they actually had very limited understanding of the opponent, and they knew even less about the opponent, so they would not let go of this tongue that was delivered to their door.
Although Ye Cang, who is the best at this, is still in the process of promotion, Da Zhuang has always been by his side. After Xuan Ji's strength is improved, it should not be difficult to do this.
As expected, although this group of guys who rely on the power of others to bully others are usually domineering, the barriers in their minds are almost non-existent. Da Zhuang, who is good at using mental attacks, easily obtained a lot of information.
The first point, and what he needed most, was the forces that were still dissatisfied with the Throne Corridor.
Just like the stone giants and half-titans, a considerable number of forces appear to obey the arrangements of the Throne Corridor, but secretly have a completely opposite attitude.
After all, the Throne Corridor was too overbearing, and just tried every possible way to grab unlimited things, which led to many famine situations similar to the stone giants, and also had a significant impact on the foundation of many second-rate forces.
However, since the power of the Throne Corridor was too huge and was completely overwhelming, these forces had no choice but to swallow their anger.
"As one of the main emissaries of the Throne Corridor, Knox has visited almost all forces. He can judge right from wrong through the words and deeds of the clan leaders."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and nodded thoughtfully.
As for the second point, it is the information about the Broken Wing King and his minions.
Unfortunately, although Knox is a senior noble of the Broken Wing Clan and has some status in the clan, he is ultimately just an errand boy, not a core minister of the Broken Wing King, and only knows the basics.
"No wonder this guy doesn't know the specific content of the meeting. It makes sense."
"Even so, at least we can clearly determine who are the minions and who are the potential allies. This is extremely important."
Lei Xiao snapped his fingers lightly and thought so in his heart.
With these as the foundation, what you need to do is very simple.
That is, before the meeting begins, we should try to win over those forces that are in the same situation as the Stone Giant, so as to use them as capital to counter the opponent, or even take the initiative. This is a good opportunity for us to turn the tables.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that the Broken Wing Clan really had a small piece of wings on its back. I almost twisted the root of that guy's wing off."
Jasmine obviously hadn't thought about Lei Xiao's move yet. She was still immersed in the scene of beating him up just now. She jumped up and down and asked, "What should we do with these guys?"
"Keep him in the cell of Icestone City for now. Maybe he can be of some use."
Lei Xiao glanced at the people in the room who were rolling their eyes and talking nonsense, then nodded to Old Bing and told him to take care of the matter.
After Da Zhuang's questioning, these guys were no different from the walking dead and would no longer pose any threat.
As for whether this would arouse the other party's vigilance, Lei Xiao had already learned from Lila and others at the beginning that Knox would often get drunk and it was common for him to delay his return for a day or two.
Furthermore, judging from the route, the other party will also go to several other second-rate forces, so even if King Broken Wing discovered something unusual, it would be difficult to detect the clues for a while.
After all, for more than ten years, these messengers from the Throne Corridor have been running rampant and nothing has ever gone wrong. I'm afraid the other party doesn't believe that anyone would attack them.
"Your Majesty, the meeting will be held tomorrow night, and I don't have much time to wait."
As the leader of the Stone Giants, Lila quickly understood what Lei Xiao was thinking. She frowned and said, "It may not be easy to find as many allies as possible within one day."
"That's right. Even though those forces share the same stance as us, we don't have much in common. I'm afraid they won't trust us easily."
A trace of worry also appeared on Keira's fair face, and she echoed.
Upon hearing this, Payton and other stone giant elders all nodded, obviously having the same concerns.
I have to say that time is indeed too limited, it can even be described as urgent.
"It is indeed not easy to do this, and the other party is very powerful. If we are not careful, we may face a catastrophic disaster."
Lei Xiao first affirmed everyone's thoughts, and then changed the subject and said: "But don't forget that since we are in a time crunch, the other side has even less time to react. This is both our disadvantage and our advantage."
At this point, Lei Xiao smiled again and added: "Besides, you don't have to be too nervous. Even if we don't find enough friends before the meeting, as long as nothing goes wrong at the meeting, we still have a chance."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, everyone's frowned brows relaxed and they all nodded.
"But the problem is that the other party is so eager to gather all their forces, I'm afraid they have bad intentions."
Jasmine reacted quickly this time. She tilted her head and said, "I always feel that the other party will cause some trouble in the meeting."
"So it's always a good idea to be prepared, and we just need to do our best."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and instructed everyone: "Let's start the action immediately."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he immediately began to make corresponding deployments.
First of all, in order to avoid being noticed by the other party, the army of stone giants will remain in place for the time being and just need to be ready for battle. After all, with the teleportation of Ice Stone City, we can quickly appear anywhere.
Secondly, based on the information provided by Knox, immediately draw up a route map to visit these potential allies as much as possible and find out their current situation to increase the chances of persuading them.
Finally, we quickly headed to the next force, which was naturally the Semi-Titan that had already surrendered to us.
After everything was arranged properly, Lei Xiao returned to Bingshi City with his men and the Lila sisters. Although it was already late at night, time was so urgent that we had to race against time.
During this process, Lei Xiao also briefly informed the subordinates in the territory and the human race of the situation and ordered everyone to be on high alert. As for Ariel, she was still in the process of promotion, so she didn't have to ask for leave.
Soon, Lei Xiao and his group appeared in front of the main gate of the Half-Titan capital.
"Your Majesty!"
Hollis, Bruce, Lux and others had been waiting here for a long time. They immediately came forward and bowed their heads to Lei Xiao.
Originally, the young new half-Titan king was planning to arrange a large welcome ceremony, but was stopped by Lei Xiao. Now was obviously not the time to show off his power and status.
After Lei Xiao signaled the three to excuse themselves from the formalities, Hollis's worried voice rang out: "Your Majesty, the messenger from the throne corridor arrived in the evening."
"I already know about this, and this is exactly why I came here at night."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then nodded to everyone and said, "Let's talk about it after we enter the city."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Hollis and the other two did not hesitate and began to lead the way.
Soon, the group had passed through the long and huge streets of Semi-Titan and arrived at the castle in the center of the royal city.
The decoration style here is quite similar to that of the stone giant, except that it is full of bronze decorations, and the corridors are decorated with rows of giant shields and battle axes.
As for the lighting facilities, they are not shining light crystals or guiding light balls, but rising magical flames. The picture of light and shadow interlaced with shield and axe makes the whole castle look more ancient.
"I have to say, the Half-Titan's castle is really unique."
Jasmine walked in the middle of the giant corridor, which made her look even smaller, and she couldn't help but blurt out.
Beside Jasmine, Lila and Kayla looked the same, curiously observing everything around them.
As the mortal opponents of the Demi-Titans, they, as stone giants, have never set foot here.
When they were competing with the Demi-Titans, they had imagined countless ways to break into this center of power that symbolized the glory of the Demi-Titans, but they never thought that one day they would be able to walk in so brazenly.
As for Hollis and others, they had no time to care about what Lila and her sister were thinking. Instead, they kept describing to Lei Xiao how the Throne Corridor had made huge profits over the years.
"Is it really the same as the situation with the Stone Giant?"
Under Hollis's guidance, Lei Xiao came to a lounge that had been prepared long ago, sat down, and nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty, the messenger coming to inform you of a meeting tomorrow night is definitely not a good thing. The time is too rushed. I'm afraid there must be some clues."
Hollis's huge bronze face was filled with worry. He continued, "If the other party continues to grab things recklessly like this, the semi-Titans will soon be starving to death."
After that, Hollis and the other two knelt down and saluted Lei Xiao without any hesitation, saying, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for us!"
“It’s a familiar scene indeed.”
Lei Xiao smiled helplessly in his heart, helped the three people up one by one, nodded slightly and said: "This is exactly what I am worried about, but fortunately, we have already taken countermeasures."
Having said that, Lei Xiao described what had just happened at the stone giant.
"As expected of His Majesty, you beat Knox so hard that he was left with a broken tooth!"
Hearing this, Hollis and the other two all looked extremely surprised and cast even more respectful gazes at Lei Xiao.
You know, this is something they have been thinking about for a long time, but they didn't expect that Lei Xiao could accomplish it so easily and perfectly!
After feeling excited, Hollis calmed down and said to Lei Xiao solemnly: "Your Majesty, the half-titan will always be by your side. Please deploy it at your will!"
"So are we, the Stone Giant!"
Seeing Hollis express his attitude, Lila and Kayla were not willing to be outdone and spoke in unison.
After saying that, the two destined rivals noticed each other again and couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Although the two are no longer competing with each other under Lei Xiao's coordination, the competitive spirit still exists.
"I know that neither of you wants to fall behind, but you should focus on what is coming. Don't forget that our goal is to pull the Broken Wing Clan off the throne of the Throne Corridor."
Lei Xiao noticed this scene keenly and nodded to Hollis and Lila. As long as the competition between the two was healthy, this might not be a bad thing.
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
Hollis and Lila both touched their chests and saluted, nodding heavily. Both of them were the heads of their own families, and they knew what was more important when it came to major issues.
"Okay, there is one more important matter that needs to be dealt with immediately."
Lei Xiao stood up from his seat and walked towards the door.
As for what it was, it was naturally to fully upgrade the Semi-Titan.
It didn't take long before Lei Xiao walked out of the last equipment room in the castle. Behind him were only piles of various colorful equipment and the shocked and stunned faces of Hollis and the other two.
By the time the three of them reacted, it goes without saying that they prostrated themselves at Lei Xiao's feet. Lei Xiao turned over his palm and handed three more colorful potions to Hollis.
"This is a sixth-level shapeshifting potion. I don't need to tell you about its effects."
Lei Xiao nodded to Hollis and said, "Your bodies are too large, it is easier to move in human form."
After the upgrade just now, the half-titan happened to have some stock of fifth-level shapeshifting potions, all of which were upgraded to sixth-level by Lei Xiao.
After that, Lei Xiao gave Lila another one and told her to pass it to Payton.
Just as Lei Xiao said just now, although Hollis and others are half-giants, their bodies are over five meters tall, and they are all strong and sturdy.
Going to the territories of other second-rate forces in such a form is indeed too conspicuous. Even if using illusion camouflage, it can only change visually, and it is still difficult to make substantial changes. It is impossible to pass through some normal-sized corridors and doors.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift!"
Hearing this, Hollis and the other two were all delighted and bowed their heads in thanks.
"You're welcome. Without further ado, let's head to our first target."
Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly, looked at Hollis and Lila and said, "The second-rate force closest to you is the dark half-elves, right?"
According to the route map listed by Lila and others just now, the first one is indeed the Dark Half-Elf Kingdom.
"That's right, Your Majesty."
Lila nodded quickly, and then her expression was obviously a little abnormal, and she smiled helplessly and said: "But Your Majesty, the situation there is a bit special. I suggest that it is better to visit the next force directly." (End of this chapter)
