Chapter 1428: After the Promotion and the Mutation
While feeling confused, Lei Xiao calmed down and immediately contacted Ariel through telepathy.
"My Lord, have you succeeded in your promotion?!"
Ariel answered immediately, and a crisp voice mixed with surprise and a hint of worry immediately reached Lei Xiao's ears.
"Finally a near miss."
A smile appeared on Lei Xiao's spirited face, and he responded, "It's just a physical energy vortex, and it's still halfway to being officially completed."
"That's great! I've been feeling uneasy all day! However, even if you only advance one energy vortex, you are a genuine sixth-level expert!"
Ariel's voice began to become more and more excited, and she kept talking: "I didn't expect that the Lord had already entered the hall of the sixth-level strong man just from morning to midnight! This is something that other strong men dare not even think about! I heard that some strong men from the outside world even took several months!"
"So, it only took me less than a day to successfully upgrade the physical energy vortex?"
Lei Xiao let out a long sigh and nodded thoughtfully.
After all, he was different from ordinary people when he was promoted to the fifth level, and he possessed the power of God and a number of buffs, so it was not surprising that he only took less than a day.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately asked: "Did anything happen during this period of time?"
"My Lord, according to your instructions, the preparations for fighting against the Eclipse and the exchanges with the strong men from the foreign lands are proceeding in an orderly manner, and no unexpected incidents have occurred."
Ariel's report came over immediately, and she continued, "It's just that the fairy queen Fanny, the tauren general Bruno, the troll chief Hanershu, and the dragon queen Dana have successively sent news that in the area north of the Outland where our territory borders other forces, the two alliance forces are clearly sending large numbers of troops to the border fortresses near us, and the purpose is not clear yet."
"Oh?"
After listening to Ariel's words, Lei Xiao gently stroked his chin.
The territories of our four major forces, including the Dragonborn, Flower Elves, Trolls, and Tauren, almost span the entire plate, and are indeed all connected to the territories of forces deeper in the outside world.
And just like the information I got before, these forces are not fighting alone, but have formed a large-scale alliance, and the strength of each force is greater than ours.
"Before this, although I had obtained intelligence about the influx of spies from the other side, I did not get any information about reinforcements. After all, these allied forces not only need to guard against each other, but also need to guard against more powerful second-rate forces, which has formed a situation of restraint between each other."
"Due to the mutual restraint, the other party should not blindly send reinforcements to our side. After all, they have just sent a lot of spies. Even if they want to collect information from us, it is impossible for them to do so quickly. This is also the consensus reached between me, Fanny and other leaders of the foreign domains."
"The current situation is obviously more complicated than we imagined. Why would the other side send a large number of troops to the border near us? Are they preparing to fight us?"
"Although this possibility exists, the other side's opponents include more powerful second-rate forces and each other. Once a war starts with us, they will definitely be stabbed in the back by other forces."
"In this situation, the other side should choose to win us over to stabilize the situation. Why would they directly prepare for war without any communication?"
Confused, Lei Xiao collected his thoughts and asked again, "Ariel, what are Fanny and the others doing now?"
Before advancing, Lei Xiao had already decided on our response measures when he was away.
That is to let the human high-level leaders headed by Ariel and other seven human kings, Gray Old Man and other three direct forces, as well as Broy, Shult, Chris, Fanny, Dana, Hanershu, Bruno and other high-level leaders of our foreign forces form a decision-making meeting to discuss countermeasures together and exchange the latest information in real time.
Therefore, Ariel was naturally very clear about the current dynamics of Fanny and others.
"My Lord, the leaders of our four major forces, including the Dragonborn, Flower Fairies, Trolls, and Tauren, have all gone to our border fortresses, and have also begun to strengthen their troop deployment to a certain extent."
Ariel's response came immediately: "The dwarves and other foreign forces in the rear, as well as the human race, are also on guard at all times to prevent any accidents, but they are not deployed on the front line."
"You did the right thing. It's not time to send more troops yet. With the transportation from Icestone City, we can deploy troops to any place on the border at any time."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and responded: "Tell the others to find out as much as possible about the reason why the other party sent more troops, and make plans after I am completely promoted."
"Yes, Lord, you must be extremely careful!"
Ariel's voice had a hint of worry in it again, and she quickly responded.
Originally, Ariel planned to stay by Lei Xiao's side forever, but Lei Xiao did not agree.
Firstly, it's because Lei Xiao needs Ariel as his spokesperson to stabilize our camp. Secondly, he needs to concentrate fully when advancing, and having Ariel around would distract him.
"Don't worry, the most difficult moment has passed. With the help of the sixth-level physical energy vortex, it won't be that difficult to upgrade to the magic energy vortex."
Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and after giving Ariel a few more instructions, he stopped talking.
Next, Lei Xiao contacted Rogge, the person in charge of the territory, and after confirming that everything was normal, he sat cross-legged on the ground again and put the second "Morning Star" into his mouth.
Just as Lei Xiao said just now, this time, with the assistance of the physical energy vortex and after successfully advancing, Lei Xiao has been reborn again.
Therefore, even though the extremely violent medicinal power was still extremely brutal, it was eventually defeated and was completely drawn into the vortex of magic energy by Lei Xiao, who then compressed it with all his strength until it became a part of his own energy.
As time went by, a light blue magic energy crystal began to condense in the increasingly deeper magic energy vortex, until the same runaway scene as before broke out again.
After all, the free magic energy particles and physical energy particles in the air are not compatible with each other, so Lei Xiao naturally has to go through a process of adaptation and control.
With the support of many advantages and experience, although Lei Xiao was obviously more at ease this time and used his mental power to the extreme, the process of suppressing and blocking energy particles was still indispensable.
Finally, when Lei Xiao opened his eyes again, everything came to an end. The rich magic power that had finally surged out was also easily taken back into the magic energy crystal.
"Is this what it feels like to be a double-level sixth-level expert? The magical energy particles that were previously difficult to perceive are now clearly visible, as if the entire world is under my control."
Feeling this incomparable sense of pleasure, Lei Xiao took a deep breath slowly.
At this point, I have taken one step further and stepped into the threshold of a double sixth-level powerhouse!
Feeling extremely excited, Lei Xiao casually opened his attribute bar.

[Honor: 000105th "Lord Arena" Champion]
"Yes, seeing the strength line is really exciting. In addition, there is a new display of "honor" at the bottom? I haven't noticed it before."
"But it is conceivable that the Lord Arena has probably been held countless times, right? There must be quite a few lords who have won the championship. I wonder if there will be a ranking function in the future?"
Lei Xiao thought so and closed the property interface.
"But these are not the things I need to consider right now. The important thing is that I obviously spent a lot of time to advance just now. I wonder if there have been any new changes in our overall situation during this period of time?"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao contacted Ariel again while walking out of the training room.
This time, Ariel still answered the call immediately, but her voice was obviously much more urgent.
Through communication with Ariel, Lei Xiao learned that it was already the next morning. Most importantly, Lei Xiao also received an unexpected news from Ariel.
"Ariel, are you saying that Dana disappeared with Davis?"
Lei Xiao frowned and confirmed.
"That's right, Lord. It happened half an hour ago. According to the urgent news from Dragonborn General Naar, in the early morning, when the Dragonborn Queen and Prince Zhan Yi were inspecting the border fortress together, they and hundreds of guards were all missing."
Ariel's voice became more serious, and she added, "At present, martial law has been imposed on one side of our border, and the decision-making committee members are rushing here to prepare for a meeting at Lion Castle!"
"Got it. I'll be there soon. Let's talk when we meet."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and immediately stopped talking.
Then, Lei Xiao first walked towards the lord's office and began to quickly complete the daily routine of receiving recruitment orders.
During this process, Lei Xiao couldn't help but frown.
The importance of Dana and Davis is self-evident, representing the supreme authority of one of our forces.
But now, both of them are missing in the border area where undercurrents are surging. The reason behind this is somewhat intriguing.
You know, let’s not talk about the fact that Dana, who is at the sixth level, has not fully recovered from her injuries, but Davis is a genuine sixth-level powerhouse, not to mention that he has many trump cards to support him after the upgrade.
Coupled with a group of equally powerful members of the Royal Guard, it is not something that ordinary people can do to make so many strong people disappear inexplicably without sending any signal.
As the helmsman of our side, I naturally have to investigate everything thoroughly. If this matter is not handled properly, it will undoubtedly affect our overall morale and even the overall stability, and will have a considerable negative impact on the subsequent actions to penetrate deeper into the outside world.
What's more, whether in the Lord's Arena or on the previous battlefield, Davis and other dragon-born warriors have made indispensable contributions, and he will never sit idly by.
"Originally, I was planning to move forward in a way that minimized the losses, but if this was really done by the opposing forces, it would be an unforgivable provocation. Don't blame me for being ruthless then."
"Since I was born, I have never lowered my head, and this time is no exception."
After quickly completing his daily affairs, Lei Xiao greeted the old butler Ward, picked up some prepared meals, left the territory, and came to the Lion Castle with Bingshi City.
Walking into the spacious and bright King's Hall, Lei Xiao noticed.
At this time, the entire King's Hall was already packed with strong men from the human race and other races, and the atmosphere was very heavy.
Since there is a portal inside the Lion Castle that is directly connected to the teleportation station, it does not take much time for the powerful outsiders to come here.
Seeing Lei Xiao appear, a group of figures immediately came forward and saluted him respectfully.
Especially after noticing that Lei Xiao successfully advanced in such a short time, everyone was excited, making the atmosphere in the hall noticeably more uplifting.
However, a dark cloud was quietly spreading in the King's Hall.
After the ceremony, the powerful dragon warriors led by Nar almost hugged Lei Xiao's thighs, and each dragon's face was full of anxiety and pleading.
"Your Majesty, please save our king and His Royal Highness Prince Zhan Yi!"
Nar and others knelt down in front of Lei Xiao, crying and sobbing.
"Everyone please stand up, this is what I need to do next."
Lei Xiao helped Nar and the others up one by one, nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely do you justice. Since the other party has stretched out their evil hands to us, no matter who they are, I will make them pay a price they cannot afford."
After that, Lei Xiao sat down at the head of the conference table in the center of the hall, and then said to Nar: "Okay, tell me everything you know." (End of this chapter)
