Chapter 1346: Lord's Deployment and Inquiry
"Please let your Majesty know clearly."
Broy stood on tiptoe and handed the baton back to Lei Xiao. Chris and Shult also looked over.
"That is, in addition to the two measures of stationing in fortresses and conducting scouts, we should also deploy a large number of sky knights or alchemical puppets for observation, so as to keep track of the enemy's movements at all times."
Lei Xiao pointed his baton at the towering mountains around the Giant Valley one by one, and said, "Especially in these areas, whether it is scouts or fortresses, it is undoubtedly difficult to observe. If the enemy's sword goes astray, it will be difficult for us to respond in time."
"Your Majesty is right. Although our strength is limited, the dwarves have a special flying reconnaissance corps that can be deployed at these locations!"
Broy's eyes lit up and he responded immediately.
"Your Majesty, the dwarves have more than one flying legion. Don't forget there is also an ancient dwarf flying legion."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and reminded Broy.
The ancient dwarf elf legions that Lei Xiao was referring to were naturally the five ancient dwarf elf alchemical puppet legions that were discovered in the dwarf warehouse deep in the Baibu Mountains at that time.
After reaching a comprehensive cooperation with the dwarf elves, Lei Xiao took the time to hand over the command of the five ancient alchemical puppet legions back to Broy.
After all, these ancient alchemy legions are all second-level legions. They can no longer play a big role for Lei Xiao now. The benefits of handing them over to Broy again are self-evident.
First of all, it can naturally enhance the relationship with the dwarves.
The second is that although the current alchemical puppet technology of the dwarves is outstanding, it has not yet reached the level of the ancient dwarves, and many key technologies have been lost in the blank era.
Various war modules carried by these five ancient dwarf alchemical legions can fight automatically like normal legions, and can even be adjusted in real time according to the battlefield situation. Only one team or even one normal operator is needed to command an entire alchemical puppet legion.
However, the alchemical puppets made by the dwarfs now still require one-on-one control by special soldiers. Once the controlling soldiers are killed or injured, it will undoubtedly greatly affect the combat effectiveness of the alchemical puppets.
From this, it is not difficult to see that if the dwarfs can master this technology again, their overall strength will undoubtedly be raised to a higher level. Of course, humans are also involved in it, and even the wood elves later joined in.
"Your Majesty is right. At present, the alchemists of the dwarves, humans, and wood elves, as well as some talents from other worlds, are working hard to analyze these war modules in the Alchemy City, and have made considerable progress. However, this does not affect the dispatch of the Ancient Flying Legion for reconnaissance. We will make arrangements for it in a moment!"
Broy nodded heavily, looking excited.
Just as Lei Xiao thought, if the dwarfs really mastered this technology, they would undoubtedly be able to invest more manpower and resources into other fields of magical technology.
After all, the dwarfs are relatively weak, and most of them have almost no fighting talent. Instead, they are better at mental work.
After Broy finished speaking, Chris added: "Although wood fairies cannot hunt in the sky like flying monsters, they can also assist in reconnaissance!"
"Trees can sense the trembling of the forest. Once an enemy sets foot here, they will not be able to escape our eyes and ears. Leave the forest-covered areas near the Great Valley to us."
Schulte's old face, like a wooden sculpture, was full of calmness as he echoed the words.
"Very good. The human race also has a force of sky knights that can be deployed. With everyone's efforts, our defense will be even more solid."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and immediately began to make detailed arrangements.
It was not until the two moons quietly appeared in the sky that Lei Xiao put down his baton and shifted his gaze away from the giant sand table in front of him.
"Let's get started without further ado. Icestone City will fully cooperate with you."
Lei Xiao nodded to Broy, Shult, and Chris in turn, and then said, "In addition to Ice Stone City, I will also establish a second command center at the teleportation station in the human territory to facilitate the deployment of troops and communication between you."
The teleportation station is directly connected to the capitals of all allies and is undoubtedly the most suitable place.
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, everyone nodded heavily and immediately took action.
At this time, Ice Stone City had stopped near the teleportation station, and it was easy for everyone to return via the teleportation station.
After everyone left, Lei Xiao finished arranging all matters concerning the human race and prepared to send Ariel back to Lion Castle.
"My Lord, although the four major forces of trolls, minotaurs, flower fairies, and dragonborn have all entered a state of war, they have not yet shown any hostility to us. Are we overreacting by being so prepared and making careful deployments?"
Under the quiet night sky, the silvery moonlight reflected a hint of confusion on Ariel's delicate face.
"In my opinion, far from overreacting, the defense is still a little loose."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and then said seriously: "Don't forget that the other party is taking action right under our noses. No matter what their intentions are, we can't relax at all. There are countless of our people and our lifeline here. Protecting them is our responsibility and the weight of the crown."
"Since we wear crowns and hold authority, we should think more comprehensively. If we are careless, who can protect the people who believe in us?"
Lei Xiao's expression became more serious, and even more dignified under the moonlight. He added, "So, I would rather be overly nervous 10,000 times than cause irreversible consequences due to one carelessness."
"My Lord, I understand what you mean."
Ariel's expression also became firm, and she nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, Lord, according to our agreement, I will guard the rear for you!"
After saying this, although there was still reluctance on Ariel's face, she still walked out of the gate of Ice Stone City.
After sending Ariel back to the castle, Lei Xiao had no time to rest. After sending Ice Stone City to the outer land to assist in the deployment of the defense line, he walked into Crystal Blue City and then came to Glowing City.
The reason why Lei Xiao went here was to meet the Pelican Princess Fei'er.
According to Fei'er's description, in the Silver Moon Era before the blank era, the flower fairies and dragonborn were once affiliated groups of the ancient human race. They were protected by the Silver Fire Kingdom and swore allegiance to the latter.
Now, we are about to encounter these two forces that were once affiliated with the ancient human race. Lei Xiao naturally has to discuss with Fei'er how to contact them more safely when necessary.
After all, the strength of both of them is extremely impressive, especially the Dragonborn, who has the shadow of the Light Elves behind him. If not handled properly, it will undoubtedly cause great trouble to our side.
It didn't take long before Lei Xiao appeared in the secret meeting room of the main hall of the Temple of Light in Glowing City. Sitting in front of Lei Xiao were Fei'er, Sophia and several other Lengyan monarchs.
"Everyone, the situation is very complicated at the moment, so I will be brief."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then described the current situation of the fluorescent rift.
"Trolls, minotaurs, flower fairies, and dragonborn?"
After listening to Lei Xiao's description, Fei'er rested her chin on one hand, with a thoughtful look on her delicate face, and said: "To us in the Silver Moon Era, these are just like ants. I didn't expect that they are so powerful now."
"The gears of time will never stop, not to mention the unknown blank era we have experienced. Fortunately, the courage and potential of the human race have not changed."
Lei Xiao nodded at Fei'er, and then told her about the other party's strength.
Like the three third-rate allies of Outland, namely the Wood Elves, Dwarf Elves and Tree Men, these four are all at the same level. However, because the strength of our allies was severely damaged after the two dragon battles, these four appear to be more powerful.
As for how powerful the other party is, Lei Xiao had also carefully asked Broy, Chris and others.
Any one of these forces alone is enough to fight back and forth with our entire force. Even if we win, it will be a pyrrhic victory. And if we face two forces at the same time, I am afraid it will be disastrous.
The problem is that we don't know whether the other four are allies, nor do we know why they are suddenly preparing for war.
"I see. Although the other party has not yet shown any hostility, your Majesty is doing the right thing."
Saint Queen Sophia's starry eyes revealed a hint of approval, and she nodded and said, "How can I allow others to snore beside my bed? Moreover, this "other" is currently eyeing me covetously, and I don't know what he wants to do."
"But what is certain is that since the other side has gathered heavy troops on one side of the giant valley at the same time, even if they have their own ulterior motives, it is obvious that they want to attack the giant valley itself or our territory, right?"
The wise king Abner gently stroked his chin, frowned and said: "The current situation is indeed extremely tense."
"Yes, this is exactly what I am worried about. According to the information I have obtained, these four parties are not good people, otherwise they would not be able to survive in the Outer Realm until now."
Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, then looked at Fei'er again and said, "That's why I came to ask for the opinion of Her Royal Highness Princess Pelican."
"Your Majesty, you were right not to make contact with them easily. From what I remember, these four are indeed forces that will not yield easily."
Fei'er tried her best to recall the past, and said thoughtfully: "In the Silver Moon Era when all races were at their peak, although it was difficult for a full-scale war to sweep everything to occur, friction between the various forces was still inevitable, and there were even forces that were destroyed. This was also something that the gods tacitly agreed to. The strong will win, which is an eternal truth no matter what era it is."
"As for these four, including the flower fairies and dragonborn who once submitted to the ancient human race, I don't have much impression of them. Perhaps it's because I have forgotten too much, or perhaps it's because I never paid close attention to them. After all, it's difficult for the strong to be interested in the weak."
Fei'er's fair face showed a hint of helplessness, and then she said seriously: "But according to my memory, flower fairies and dragonborn are not without weaknesses. The former likes all kinds of natural treasures, while the latter likes shiny things."
"It's about the same information I got."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, remembering Broy, Chris and others' descriptions of the two.
As a group of fairies, flower fairies are actually distant relatives of the wood fairies led by Chris, and are very similar in both body shape and appearance.
However, unlike the wood fairies who worship nature and have a simple power structure, the flower fairies who like to bully the weak have reached a civilization similar to that of humans. Although they call themselves city-states and sound harmless, they are actually similar to empires and enslave many weaker ethnic groups.
The relationship between flower fairies and wood fairies is like the agricultural age looking at the Stone Age. They simply ignore each other. Even though they are not far away from each other, there has been no communication for more than two thousand years. In history, flower fairies have even had several wars with wood fairies. As a result, the flower fairies won more and lost less, and took a lot of advantages from the wood fairies.
From this, it is not difficult to see that the flower fairy's love for natural treasures is probably the last bit of interest she has in nature.
As for the Dragonborn, as the name suggests, they are a humanoid race with dragon blood. Although their body size is not much different from that of humans, they have dragon faces that are extremely similar to those of dragons, and their skin is covered with scales. Some even have dragon tails and horns. Their specific appearance is directly related to the amount of dragon blood in their bodies.
Compared to the savage flower fairies, dragonborns obviously combine the advantages of dragons and humanoids. Although they are also extremely difficult to mess with, their way of doing things is more tactful and they are better at judging the situation. Perhaps this is exactly why the light elves found them.
In addition, it goes without saying that the trolls, who are notorious for being cannibals and known for their brutality and evil, are undoubtedly more difficult to communicate with. As for the tauren, they are a symbol of stubbornness and dullness, and they are violent and irritable by nature, and are obviously not someone who can be easily changed.
From this, it is not difficult to see that if you have to communicate with each other, it is more appropriate to choose flower fairies and dragonborn.
"It may be difficult to completely impress the two with only natural treasures and magic gems. After all, the resources I have now are extremely limited. Even if I want to decompose the sixth-level magic potion, I don't have much left."
"As for the Dragonborn who have come into contact with the Light Half-Elves, even if I grit my teeth and decompose the sixth-level weapons inlaid with gems to obtain rare magic gems, I am afraid it will be difficult to find a breakthrough. After all, these top forces have a large number of mines for mining rare magic gems, which can be said to be thousands of gems a day. And I am obviously a little stretched with my limited number of sixth-level weapons."
Lei Xiao thought for a moment, then looked at Fei'er again and asked, "Your Highness, besides the emblem of the Silver Fire Kingdom, is there anything else that can impress the other party?"
"Let me think about it, it seems to be true."
Fei'er frowned and pondered for a while, then her starry eyes suddenly lit up.
