Chapter 1246 Before the Meeting Begins
The group stayed in the command hall of Ice Stone City for only a moment, as a blue light flashed across the surrounding magic screens.
When the screen became clear again, a magnificent pure white city came into view. It was the Glowing City where the main hall of the Temple of Light was located.
"Except for this Ice Stone City, Crystal Blue City has already picked up all the other monarchs and leaders of neutral organizations attending the conference. Let's prepare to enter the city now."
Lei Xiao nodded to Ariel and Catherine in front of him and said, "With the cooperation of Saint Queen Sophia and others, the venue has been almost set up."
"As you command, Lord Lord!"
The two queens touched their chests and saluted, and arranged their respective entourages to prepare for departure.
Behind Ariel and Catherine, Or, Bert, Valentin and other civil and military officials were ready to go. Of course, Louise also followed.
"Your Highness, can I take up a little of your time?"
Just when Lei Xiao was about to leave the city, Qiduo's breathing suddenly rang in his ears.
"Of course, there is still some time before the meeting starts, and there will be a luncheon before the formal meeting."
Lei Xiao first nodded to signal Ariel and Catherine to go to the venue first, and then looked in the direction where the voice came from. Behind Qiduo, Mia and a dozen other half-elf elders also followed.
"Great!"
A hint of excitement immediately emerged on Qiduo's fair cheeks, and Mia and the other half-elf elders had the same expression.
"To be honest, Your Highness, I have carefully inspected the new fiefs you have granted me in the past few days. Those cities are the richest and most important places in the Cold Flame Kingdom. They are even much stronger than the fiefs we lost before."
Qi Duo regained her composure and said with gratitude, "You handed these to us without hesitation. All of us in the tribe are extremely grateful to you!"
"it's not a big deal."
Looking at the grateful expressions of Qi Duo and the others, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and responded: "I am just returning the glory that originally belonged to you. This is what you deserve."
"No, we are just doing what we should do!"
Qi Duo waved her hands quickly, and said with a serious expression on her fair face: "From the very beginning, it was Your Highness who worked tirelessly to rescue us from being trapped in the blue barrier with no ammunition or food. Not to mention that he later saved our lives again from the deadly roots!"
"That's right. With the Lord's grace, the overall strength of the Moon-Chasing Clan has been greatly enhanced, not to mention the high-level equipment and high-level magic potions that we, the subordinates, could not even dream of before!"
Mia poked her head out from behind Qiduo and added, "With the Lord's grace, the Moon-Chasing Clan has not only regained its lost dignity and glory, but has also reached unprecedented new heights!"
After Mia finished speaking, all the half-elf elders nodded, with irrepressible gratitude and admiration flashing in their old eyes.
"These are all earned with your courage and sweat. I just make them more shining."
Lei Xiao still maintained his smile and said seriously, "From the many battles in the North to the life-and-death battle in Glorious City, each of you has made an indelible contribution. It is because of your efforts that I have been able to move forward to where I am today."
"Your Highness, you got it wrong. It is under your leadership and because we are able to fight alongside you that the Moon-Chasing Clan can devote themselves wholeheartedly to every fierce battle!"
Qi Duo became more and more excited as she spoke, and she could not help but kneel down and said, "Your Highness, I have no way to repay your kindness, so I want to take our relationship with you to the next level, sign a surrender contract with you, and truly become a part of you who surrender to you. I hope Your Highness will help me do this!"
"I hope Your Highness will help me!"
Mia and the other half-elf elders also knelt on the ground and said in unison.
Seeing this scene, Hu Zhang, Hong Ye and other subordinates who followed Lei Xiao looked at each other and smiled, and couldn't help but look excited.
The lord has just conquered Catherine and others, and now it is the turn of the half-elves of the Moon-Chasing Clan. How can one not be excited?
You know, the number of half-elves of the Moon-Chasing Clan is close to 20. Adding Catherine and others before, this undoubtedly means that the lord has added more than 30 new subordinates!
"You are all so sincere, how can I refuse you?"
Lei Xiao helped Qi Duo and others up one by one and nodded slightly.
Lei Xiao had actually already anticipated the surrender of the Zhuyue Clan.
However, since a considerable number of members of the Zhuyue clan were scattered throughout their fiefdoms, they had not had time to mention this matter. It was Qiduo who brought it up first.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness. When I was inspecting the fiefdom, I have already called all the tribesmen back here. When we thought about asking Your Highness to sign a contract with us, we were all so excited that we couldn't sleep. Being able to get closer to Your Highness is something that all the tribesmen have dreamed of!"
Qi Duo obviously saw Lei Xiao's doubts and quickly added.
"Then let's get started without further ado."
As Lei Xiao walked out of the command hall, he nodded slightly and said, "Today is destined to be a day worth remembering."
Soon, Lei Xiao appeared on the platform in the central square of Ice Stone City, and below the platform were densely packed half-elves.
Every handsome face was filled with an irrepressible anticipation, and they looked at Lei Xiao, who was sitting at the top, with reverence.
The young man from another world before them not only saved all of their lives twice and helped them regain their lost dignity, but also further bestowed them with supreme glory and unprecedented power.
Faced with this transcendent being who is above the royal power, what else can they give in return for this amazing kindness except wholehearted submission?
"Your Highness, please agree to our urgent request. We are willing to follow you forever, until death!"
Qiduo knelt on the ground again and put her head close to Lei Xiao's feet.
After Qiduo finished speaking, hundreds of thousands of other half-elves also made the same movements, making the whole scene look quite spectacular. A familiar prompt sound then rang in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Dear Lord, the Moon-Chasing Clan begs you to sign a surrender contract. Do you agree? ]
"I will guide you in the direction of progress. As long as we don't stop, the road ahead will continue to extend."
Lei Xiao's steady and high-spirited voice rang out, lasting for a long time in the huge square.
After Lei Xiao agreed to the half-elves' request in his heart, the golden contracts floating in the air reappeared. The soft and brilliant light reflected the excited handsome faces.
As Qiduo and others completed the contracts one after another, translucent text that kept refreshing appeared in front of Lei Xiao again.
[Congratulations, the Moon-Chasing Clan's 99th-rank -star Half-elf Arrow God Qiduo has signed a surrender contract with you. The contract will take effect once the overall surrender rate reaches over %.]
[Congratulations, Mia, the 99th level star half-elf senior illusionist of the Moon Chaser Clan, has signed a surrender contract with you. The contract will take effect once the overall surrender rate reaches over %.]
[Congratulations, the Moon-Chasing Clan's 99th-rank -star Half-elf Forest Priest Kos has signed a surrender contract with you. The contract will take effect once the overall surrender rate reaches over %.]
……
[Congratulations, Tiers, the third-level, nine-star half-elf archer of the Moon Chaser Clan, has signed a surrender contract with you. The surrender rate will be effective when it reaches over 99%.]
[Congratulations, Laura, the second-level eight-star half-elf heavy infantryman of the Moon Chaser Clan, has signed a surrender contract with you. The surrender rate will be effective when it reaches more than 99%.]
[Congratulations, Peter, the second-level three-star half-elf collector of the Moon-Chasing Clan, has signed a surrender contract with you. The surrender rate will be effective when it reaches more than 99%.]
……
[Dear Lord, the overall submission rate of the Zhuyue Clan has successfully reached over 99%. Congratulations! You have gained the submission of all members of the Zhuyue Clan! ]
[Congratulations, you have unlocked a new feature "Manufacturing" project: "Building Blueprint: Moon Arrow Factory"! ]
[Congratulations, you have unlocked a new feature "Manufacturing" project: "Architectural Blueprint: Three-story Barracks by the Moon"! ]
[Congratulations, you have unlocked a new feature "Manufacturing" project: "Architectural Blueprint: Moon Windmill"! ]
……
"Did you finish it successfully?"
When the translucent text that was flooding the screen gradually disappeared, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and a new attribute interface popped up.
[Name: Moon Chaser Clan]
[Race: Half-elf]
[Submission: 100]
Population: 192350
"Male: 96160"
Female: 96190
"First level: 35005"
"Level 152251: "
"Level 5001: "
"Level 92: "
"Level 1: "
Number of buildings: 235
"Just like the Crimson Tribe just now, is the degree of submission also directly 100?"
Lei Xiao's eyes wandered across the attribute interface, and he muttered to himself in his heart.
"As for why the number of second-level people is so much greater than that of first-level people, it is precisely the result of my careful training."
"Not only that, including the third and fourth levels, I also invested a lot of cultivation resources to finally reach this scale. Needless to say, the fifth-level strongman is Qiduo, the clan leader."
"Although the lifespan of half-elves is several times that of humans, it is not as long as that of vampires. In addition, the Moon Chasing Clan has been displaced for a long time, and has fought many life-and-death battles with other barbaric races. It is not surprising that their overall strength is inferior to the latter."
"As for the small number of buildings, it's because the half-elves had been living in Icestone City before, and some of them have only recently moved to their fiefdoms. This is quite normal."
After closing the attribute bar, Lei Xiao's eyes were sharp. He bent down to help Qi Duo up, then raised his hand to signal the other half-elves to stand up.
What is certain is that as long as we cultivate carefully, it will be easy to make the Moon-Chasing Clan's strength continue to advance by leaps and bounds.
After that, Lei Xiao encouraged the half-elves a few more words, and amid deafening cheers and responses, he walked down the platform and flew towards the city gate.
"It's almost time to go to Glowing City to attend the meeting."
At the same time that Lei Xiao was subduing the Zhuyue Clan, in the nearby Huiguang City, there was a completely different scene.
I saw that this city, which was once in a desolate state, had been completely transformed. A large number of dilapidated buildings covered by roots had disappeared, and in their place were brand new buildings.
Not only that, even the roads that were once in a mess and other infrastructure such as squares and parks have been repaired, making the entire city full of a long-lost sense of sacredness and peace again.
Under Lei Xiao's arrangement, since Sophia hosted this extremely important human world conference, the Glowing City was decorated with lights and heavily guarded, creating an atmosphere of both liveliness and solemnity.
In the banquet hall of the main hall of the Holy Temple of Light in the inner city of Glowing City, there was an even busier scene.
The spacious and bright banquet hall was magnificent. The rectangular dining tables made of simple elven wood were covered with white tablecloths with gold edges. On top of the tablecloths were plate after plate of mouth-watering delicacies.
Hundreds of well-dressed maids were dragging plates back and forth in the banquet hall, busying themselves making final preparations for welcoming monarchs and high-ranking officials from various countries.
"Beatrice, have you heard? All the monarchs of the seven kingdoms will really come here this time!"
A short-haired maid with delicate makeup blinked her sparkling eyes and carefully placed the champagne bucket on the dining table. She excitedly said to the long-haired maid beside her: "Thank the Holy Light! I can finally see Her Majesty, the most beautiful and dignified queen in my heart!"
"Barbara, you're being too loud!"
The long-haired maid Beatrice quickly made a "hush" gesture, but she was also unable to hide her inner excitement, and responded: "Are you talking about Her Majesty Queen Ariel of the Cold Flame?"
"Her Majesty Ariel is the eldest of the young ladies. I heard that every move she makes is extremely elegant. She is the most perfect lady! Her beautiful face makes all the flowers pale in comparison. It is really exciting!"
At this point, Beatrice's fair face was filled with anticipation again, and she said excitedly: "But Her Majesty Queen Cecilia will come too, right? Don't you think Her Majesty who gallops on the battlefield is more attractive? Oh, and there is also Her Majesty Scarlet Queen Catherine, who is said to be an extraordinary strong person!"
After hearing the conversation between the two, several other young maids around also came over, their faces full of anticipation.
"Anyway, Her Majesty Ariel is the most perfect queen in my mind."
The short-haired maid Barbara raised her eyebrows slightly, and then stars appeared in her eyes. She blurted out: "More importantly, that master will also come! It is said that it was that master who summoned the seven kings of the human race!"
"You mean the great Prince of the Holy Lion!!"
Beatrice also perked up immediately, her delicate face full of longing as she said, "As long as I can see that master once, I will have no regrets in this life! I hope the head maid won't transfer me to the kitchen later."
"Tsk, you are so ignorant! Last time at His Majesty Lawrence's coronation ceremony, I had the honor of seeing the true appearance of His Royal Highness the Prince of the Holy Lion with my own eyes!"
Barbara looked extremely proud and boasted, "I still remember that scene vividly! No, to be more precise, I will never forget it in my lifetime!"
As soon as Barbara said this, the other maids around immediately gathered around and began to chatter and ask for specific details.
"Boasting is not the behavior of a lady. So, tell me, how is the real appearance of His Highness different from the magical portrait we have collected?"
Beatrice put her hands on her hips, obviously not believing what the other person said.
"I'm not bragging! I was just a little far away at the time and didn't see it clearly..."
Before Barbara finished her words, a slender figure exuding a distinguished aura appeared behind her.
