Chapter 1250 The Meeting Begins
In an elegant yet magnificent and quaint hall, Lei Xiao sat at the head of the conference table, his eyes sweeping over the nine figures at the bottom one by one.
The two people sitting at the front were Gray Old Man from the Mercenary Guild and Joniel from the Alchemist Guild, followed by Sophia who was in charge of the Temple of Light and Ariel, the Queen of Cold Flame.
Further back were Queen Cecilia of Pars, Queen Catherine of Iron Hand, King Eckhart of Verdant, King Willy of Holy Night, Saint King Lawrence of Grimm, and Speaker Phil of Blue Orchid.
Behind every leader and king, there are large emblems and flags representing their respective characteristics.
Whether it's the sword and shield emblem of the Mercenary Guild, the Libra emblem of the Alchemist Guild, the Holy Light emblem of the Temple of Light, or the Lion emblem of the Cold Flame Kingdom, the Black Dragon emblem of the Pars Empire, or the Eagle emblem of the Verdant Kingdom, they are all lifelike, adding a sense of solemnity to the entire venue.
And behind Lei Xiao, of course, was hanging the flag of the Demon Shadow Lord and the lord's emblem drawn based on the flag.
In addition to the ten main participants including Lei Xiao, the main officials and national strongmen of each country were also present and sat in the back seats.
Originally, Lei Xiao was planning to arrange for the Pelican Princess Fei'er to attend the meeting as a monarch, but the latter declined and just sat behind Lei Xiao as an entourage.
At this point, the role of this quaint hall is self-evident. It is an important place for holding the Human World Conference.
"Your Excellency, all the participants have arrived."
Shirley, who was in charge of the reception at the venue, touched her chest and saluted, then reported to Lei Xiao in a low voice.
"understood."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, you are all my comrades who have walked on the line between life and death with me. Our fates have long been linked, so I won't say any more polite words."
"The reason why I have solemnly summoned you all here today is for only one purpose, and that is to decide the future of the human race together with you."
Lei Xiao's eyes were solemn, and he said in a serious tone: "After the battle of Glowing City, I have seen all your efforts and contributions. It is precisely because of your command day and night on the front line that the reconstruction of the human world has made rapid progress and is proceeding smoothly."
"With your honest cooperation, people no longer have barriers between them, and no longer engage in intrigue and deception. Instead, they work shoulder to shoulder towards the same direction. This is a harmonious scene that has never been seen in the human world since the blank era."
As Lei Xiao finished his words, the atmosphere in the entire conference hall became increasingly heated.
Just as Lei Xiao said, after the end of tit-for-tat confrontation, the countries that no longer had to guard against each other focused their energy entirely on reconstruction and revitalization.
Swords are sheathed, fortresses are opened, heavy troops are withdrawn, trade routes are reopened, cooperation is established... these things that were once out of reach have now all become reality!
While feeling excited, everyone's eyes were focused on Lei Xiao, and their admiration was beyond words.
Especially the seven monarchs and subordinates, they all understood clearly.
Although the lord attributed the credit to their efforts, the one who really played a decisive role was naturally the lord himself.
It is precisely because the Lord conquered the armies of destruction one after another with his own strength, placed crowns on their foreheads, handed scepters to their hands, crowned them personally, and removed all obstacles, that they can sit here safely and become kings second only to one person!
Apart from the seven monarch subordinates, Sophia, who is in charge of the Temple of Light, is needless to say, there is no essential difference between her and the subordinates.
After undergoing a comprehensive upgrade, Gray Old and Jonil have already completely followed Lei Xiao's lead, expressing their loyalty all the time, and can't wait to become Lei Xiao's direct subordinates.
As for the other participants, needless to say, all of them have received great favors from Lei Xiao, and they worship Lei Xiao, and are proud to be Lei Xiao's direct subordinates.
Seeing such a lively scene, Fei'er and Qin Qian, who were sitting behind Lei Xiao, were filled with thoughts.
The former was extremely pleased to see that the human world once again had a new guardian and ruler, while the latter was so excited that he almost fainted.
You know, the one who dominates the human world is an alien lord with black hair and black eyes who comes from Daxia just like her. How can she not be extremely proud?
It was also because of Lei Xiao's protection that other alien lords who were struggling to survive in the dangerous jungles in the human world began to gradually contact and communicate with the local people. They no longer had to struggle for survival in fear every day.
It is no exaggeration to say that Lei Xiao, with his own strength, changed the fate of countless alien lords in the human world. It is not an exaggeration to call him a savior!
Not to mention that under Lei Xiao's leadership, the lords gathered together to work towards the same goal and even became an aristocracy. If this had happened before, it would undoubtedly be a life that the lords would never have dared to imagine!
Feeling the increasingly heated atmosphere at the venue, Lei Xiao, who affirmed everyone's achievements, changed the subject and said, "With everyone's full efforts, although the human world is thriving, this is far from enough, because we don't have much time left."
Lei Xiao's eyes became more solemn as he continued, "The primary threat we face is the catastrophe mentioned in many prophecies and by fortune-tellers."
"Your Highness is right. We have already confirmed this prophecy a hundred years ago that it will definitely happen. However, due to the complicated situation at the time and the interference of the source of evil, it has not received widespread attention."
Gray's old eyes were also filled with solemnity as he echoed.
"That's right. Fortunately, the human world has now become one under the leadership of Your Highness. We can now face this problem that cannot be ignored."
Joniel took over the conversation and added: "Once this unknown storm arrives, it will undoubtedly affect the fate of the entire human race and even the entire world. We must not ignore it at all."
After Lei Xiao finished talking to the two old presidents, the atmosphere in the entire venue became solemn.
"Although we don't know the specific content of this unknown catastrophe, fortunately we still have a small breakthrough, which is the catastrophe crack that already exists somewhere."
At this point, Lei Xiao nodded to Hui Lao, indicating that he should describe in detail the matters of the mysterious task entrusted by Wang Xi.
At that time, when he learned the specific content of the mysterious mission, although Lei Xiao deployed related matters at the first time, he did not tell his subordinates the specific reasons. Now, it is time to let everyone know everything.
"So our ancestors had already noticed something six hundred years ago?"
After listening to Gray Old Man's description, Ariel nodded in surprise and said, "If we can find the crack of the Cataclysm, we can indeed take some precautions, and even further study what it is!"
After Ariel said this, everyone else present nodded in agreement.
"In short, efforts to find the cracks in the Cataclysm must continue to increase."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he waved to Hong Ye who was serving beside him, and the latter immediately unfolded a large schematic diagram on the prepared map stand.
What is depicted above not only covers all the territories and seas of the human world, but also the ruins marks scattered throughout every corner of the map.
"This is a diagram of the ancient ruins of the human world drawn up by the Mercenary Guild in conjunction with the resources provided by the Seven Nations. It marks the locations of all known misplaced objects."
Lei Xiao stood up from his seat, took the baton handed to him by Hong Ye, and started gesturing in front of the map.
"According to my deployment, all observation stations, barracks and corresponding containment measures at the locations of the dislocated objects must be completed as quickly as possible, so that if there is any movement in any place, we can respond and block it immediately."
Lei Xiao's baton moved and finally landed on the vast sea area south of the Green Kingdom. He said, "In addition, the surrounding sea areas should not be neglected, especially this area, which needs to be patrolled more intensively."
"Your Highness, according to your instructions, I have dispatched all the warships and fishing boats of the Green Kingdom."
Eckhart raised his hand and said with embarrassment, "Although the Verdant Kingdom has a huge number of archers and magic knights, its naval power is relatively weak. I'm afraid it won't be able to cover the entire sea area in a short time."
“That’s exactly what I was going to say next.”
Lei Xiao gently waved his hand, first signaling the young new king of Cangcui not to worry, and then continued: "That is to vigorously develop the maritime forces of various places and establish several new large fleets."
"Your Highness is right. The relatively weak maritime force is indeed a major weakness of the human world. If we can vigorously develop it, it will be a great help in advancing into the outer realms in the future!"
Lawrence, who was once the naval commander of the Kingdom of Grimm, immediately agreed, "The Kingdom of Grimm has a large number of shipbuilding technologies and talents, as well as specialized training institutions. I'm sure they will be able to contribute to Your Highness!"
"I have quite a few talented people here too!"
Cecilia took over the conversation and said excitedly: "Because of the long coastline, Pars also has a lot of experience in port planning and construction!"
After Cecilia finished speaking, a middle-aged Pars general behind her immediately nodded, looking eager to get ready. It was the Duke of Lennox, who was once defeated by Lei Xiao.
After Cecilia was crowned, Lei Xiao took the time to take the Royal Maritime Commander of the Pars Empire out of the cell and continue to serve Cecilia.
Since Lennox was Cecilia's mentor at sea and they had a close relationship, and Lei Xiao's personal visit made the former flattered and grateful to Lei Xiao, and he had already become one of Lei Xiao's most loyal followers.
"Pars and Grimm's shipbuilding technology is indeed the best among all human nations, but our Iron Hand Islands are also full of talents."
Catherine smiled and said, "I am willing to do my best to contribute to your highness's grand blueprint!"
"Then it is settled. The above three countries will take the lead, and the other four countries and neutral organizations will fully assist in building new ports, shipbuilding facilities and training institutions on the coastlines of all human races around the world. The Verdant Kingdom will be the top priority."
Lei Xiao returned the baton to Hong Ye, sat back in his seat, and continued to deploy: "In this process, each country will ensure its own search efficiency while sending a certain number of ships to assist the Cang Cui Kingdom to ensure that all the sea areas of the Cang Cui Kingdom are quickly covered."
"As you command, Your Highness!"
The monarchs touched their chests and saluted, saying in unison.
"Oh, by the way, there is another force that can participate."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, looked at Qin Qian behind him, and asked: "Lord technology can also play a certain role in promoting the construction of new ships, right?"
"Your Highness, while developing the airship internal combustion engine, we also developed a ship internal combustion engine that can increase the speed to a considerable extent and further optimize the ship structure. I believe it will definitely play a role."
Since Qin Qian had already made the acquaintance of all the kings and ministers at the banquet just now, she became less restrained and introduced the lords' shipbuilding technology currently being developed in detail.
After hearing Qin Qian's words, especially Lawrence, Catherine, Lennox and others who were very familiar with ships, their eyes lit up and they all became excited.
Although the actual effect has not yet been seen, it is not difficult to see from Qin Qian’s introduction that for the human world, this is undoubtedly an epoch-making step that will greatly increase the strength at sea!
"Then let's move on to the next topic."
Seeing that everything was arranged properly, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "That is to form a million-strong human army. This will be the most elite force of the human race and the foundation for us to fight against everything in the future."
"Nowadays, the various barbarians wandering around the human race are huge in number. They are bloodthirsty and cunning, and have brought bloodshed to the human race. They are undoubtedly the best targets for our training."
“So, it’s time to officially enter the implementation phase of gathering a million troops and then exterminating the surrounding barbarians.”
After that, Lei Xiao described his plan to deploy one million elite troops to the Iron Stone Fortress.
As for the specific elite soldiers, they will be selected by the seven countries in proportion, and finally reported to Lei Xiao for decision.
Since the monarchs and their subordinates were extremely cooperative, it didn't take long to discuss the matter that Lei Xiao had been thinking about for a long time.
"Next, we should proceed to the most critical matter."
Lei Xiao's eyes became brighter and his voice became more powerful.
