Chapter 1227 The Lord's Power
"W-What are you going to do?"
Looking at Lei Xiao's smiling face, Andre felt a chill in his heart. He could not even think of any hostility. He subconsciously took a step back and asked, "How did you advance to the fifth level?"
After Andre finished speaking, a look of panic appeared on Seville's old face and he made the same gesture.
Although the strength of both of them was at the level of fifth-order senior strongmen, which was obviously higher than Lei Xiao who had just been promoted, they still felt an extremely strong sense of oppression from the latter and had no confidence of winning.
Furthermore, both Andre and Savior understood it clearly.
Lei Xiao's caution and alertness are already known to everyone. Since he was able to appear in front of them quietly and in person, he must have made thorough preparations and countermeasures. How could they have any chance of winning?
What's more, they are now just a group of birds in a cage. As long as Lei Xiao is willing to block the supply route, they will inevitably be destroyed.
Now that King Lei Xiao has returned, he must have dealt with other things, so he will turn his attention to these caged birds.
Thinking of this, a trace of regret suddenly appeared on Seville's old face. The chief said to Lei Xiao: "Your Highness, the Prince of the Holy Lion, it was us who were instigated by the Holy Temple of Light, which led to such a disaster. If Your Highness wants to punish us, then punish us especially."
"Yes, you can kill or chop them up as you wish, but please don't make things difficult for those soldiers and the Holy Night Kingdom."
Andre gritted his teeth and softened.
After saying that, the two of them knelt on the ground and bowed their heads to Lei Xiao.
After experiencing a series of failures and confinement, although they didn't say it out loud, in their hearts, Lei Xiao had already become like a god of war.
"If I had known this would happen, I would have done nothing in the first place. Let me first see if there is any black energy surrounding you."
Lei Xiao's expression remained calm and he waved his hand gently.
As Lei Xiao finished his words, the burly figure of Bing Lao and the slender figure of Xiao Jie emerged in front of the former.
Old Bing just waved his hand, and two icy shackles with cold air rising from them completely imprisoned Seville and Andre, while Xiao Jie began to cast the golden barrier.
As golden light flashed in the hall, Seville and Andre, who were completely imprisoned, could not help but open their eyes wide and sweat broke out on their foreheads.
Because from Bing Lao and Xiao Jie, the two knowledgeable people both felt a powerful aura that was simply unmatched, which was the pressure from a sixth-level strong man.
"Two sixth-level masters? What kind of giant are we fighting against?"
Before the dumbfounded Seville and Andre could react, the brilliant golden light in the hall had gradually disappeared. Although they all looked stunned, no black air came out of their bodies.
"Sevier has been famous for a long time, so it is expected that he has not been bewitched. I didn't expect that even Andre is not a pawn of the source of evil."
Theresa appeared from behind Lei Xiao with her arms folded, her brows slightly frowned.
Beside Therese, there are not only main strong men such as Itadori, but also Louise, Diana and the Three Sages of Alchemy.
Needless to say, the main subordinates are all important forces to protect Lei Xiao. Louise was just bored and had to come to find Lei Xiao halfway.
Diana and the Three Sages of Alchemy naturally represented the Mercenary Guild and the Alchemist Guild, and were sent by Gray Old Man and Joniel to assist Lei Xiao.
As for Gray Old Man and Joniel himself, they were working on completing other tasks assigned by Lei Xiao.
Although it has not been officially acknowledged yet, after a series of side-by-side battles, in the hearts of these two top human powerhouses, Lei Xiao is no different from the ruler of the human race.
"The Saintess of the Moon Palace?"
Seeing Theresa, Andre and Sevier were stunned again.
But before they could recover from their surprise, when other figures appeared, especially Diana and the Three Sages of Alchemy who were extremely famous in the human world, the two of them had already turned from surprise to shock.
Even the well-known and powerful senior figures of the two neutral organizations are willing to stand behind Lei Xiao. What this means is self-evident. Even the king of a country would never receive such courtesy casually!
Besides being shocked, their hearts began to pound again. Fortunately, they did not have any evil thoughts just now, otherwise, in the blink of an eye, they would be covered in blood and would have no chance of survival at all.
"In that case, let's just let them know what happened."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and nodded to Diana.
Theoretically speaking, she and the other side were still enemies, and as the vice president of the mercenary guild, she was undoubtedly the best and most authoritative representation as a third party.
"As you command, Your Highness."
Diana maintained an extraordinary respect for Lei Xiao. She immediately stepped forward and said to Andre and Seville, who were still stunned, "What a stupid thing you have done. Let me, the vice president, tell you in person."
After that, Diana described the series of events that happened after the other party was trapped in the Eversleeping Valley.
Diana described everything clearly, from Lei Xiao's victory over all the annihilating armies, his sword pointing at the Kingdom of Grimm, the battle of Brilliant City, to the final arrival at the City of Glorious Light, which marked the beginning of the decisive battle.
Especially the final confrontation between Lei Xiao and the son chosen by the evil god was described in great detail by Diana, who did not hesitate to praise him, and even Lei Xiao himself felt a little embarrassed after hearing it.
"Now you understand how foolish your decision was, don't you? Not only did you draw your swords against the savior of the human world, but you also became the pawns of the source of evil that was trying to destroy the human world."
Diana's sharp eyes swept back and forth between the two of them, and she snorted coldly, "Don't you bow your head and repent like His Royal Highness?"
"It's all our fault for not overestimating our own capabilities. Your Highness, please be more magnanimous!"
Hearing the sound, Seville and Andre immediately fell to their knees again, trembling, not daring to raise their heads.
"The person you need to apologize to is not me, but the entire human world."
Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Gather your generals and soldiers. There must be many remnants of the Evil God's Chosen Sons among them. This will be the first step for you to repent."
Then, with the full cooperation of Andre and Sevier, Lei Xiao not only made everything public, but also quickly found out all the hidden members of the Black Abyss Brotherhood in the Eversleeping Canyon.
In particular, almost half of the pro-war nobles of the Holy Night Kingdom and high-ranking councilors of the Canglan Federation had become puppets of their opponents, which left Andre and Seville himself dumbfounded.
After wiping out all these termites on the spot and arranging the subsequent matters of eradicating the roots of the problem, Lei Xiao called the new king Willy and ordered him to take over the army of the Holy Night Kingdom.
Among these trapped Holy Night troops, there are also some upright nobles who can become Willy's right-hand men and assist him in reorganizing the Holy Night court.
Of course, because of Lei Xiao's relationship, Therese, as the Holy Maiden of the Moon Palace, naturally did her best to assist, making everything go very smoothly.
It is worth mentioning that during this process, Lei Xiao also accidentally discovered two old friends, Baron Yes, whom he first met on the border battlefield, and the former deputy squadron leader Ao Feng.
Needless to say, Yes and Ao Feng were shocked to see that the Holy Lion Prince, who was famous throughout the human world, was actually Lei Xiao.
At the same time, they were surprised and honored. They were so surprised and happy that they even rushed to kiss Lei Xiao's leather boots, but were finally rejected by the latter.
However, these were naturally a ready-made help, and Lei Xiao didn't spend much effort to recruit the two of them as his subordinates.
"I am willing to swear allegiance to you, my lord, until death!"
In the central military tent, after signing the contract, Yes and Ao Feng knelt down in front of Lei Xiao, their faces filled with excitement.
They never thought that they would have the honor of meeting such a great man!
"You're welcome. After all, you are all my comrades who have fought with me."
Lei Xiao smiled slightly, helped the two of them up one after another, and checked the attribute column by the way.

"Although your strength is not as good as mine, you have helped me a lot in the past. I will just let you soar to the sky."
After closing the attribute bar, Lei Xiao casually gave the two of them a lot of magic potions that permanently increased their strength, enough for them to reach the fourth level, and they stayed together with Willy.
Of course, Lei Xiao also did not forget Kara, who served as the liaison officer of the Moon Palace. He helped her advance to a fourth-level strongman and continue to stay by Therese's side.
As for Prince Andrei of the Griffin, he was stripped of all his noble titles, expelled from the Holy Night royal family, and imprisoned awaiting judgment. This was also a good opportunity for the new King Willy to establish his authority.
"Then it's the Canglan Federation's turn next."
After dealing with all the affairs of the Holy Night Kingdom, Lei Xiao gathered Seville and the generals of the Canglan Federation who were not deceived in the central military tent.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince of the Holy Lion!"
After witnessing the fierce methods Lei Xiao used to eliminate those remnants, neither Seville, the Speaker of the Senate, nor the generals of the Canglan Federation dared to be negligent and knelt down in front of Lei Xiao.
"I'm sure you all know the matter very well."
Lei Xiao's scrutinizing gaze moved, landing on the people in front of him one after another, and he said lightly: "It is not difficult to see from this incident that Seville is old and is no longer suitable for the position of Speaker, so I will choose a new Speaker from among you who can lead the Canglan Federation to a bright future."
After hearing what Lei Xiao said, the whole audience fell silent.
The old speaker, knowing that he had caused a big disaster, had nothing to say and could only stand aside with a face full of shame.
The generals of the Cang Lan Federation swallowed their saliva and dared not make any sound.
Everyone understood clearly that the young man from another world in front of them was already the ruler of the human world. Not even the kings dared to disobey him. He was even above the three neutral organizations. Who dared to disobey what he said?
"The coyote tribe, the rabbit tribe, the fox tribe..."
Lei Xiao's gaze continued to wander, passing over the human generals until it fell on the humanoid generals.
The Canglan Federation is an alliance of many humanoid tribes and the human race, so it is not surprising that these humanoid generals appear.
"Your name is Phil, right? Judging from the pronunciation of your name, it's exactly the same as a princess I met not long ago. It's also the same name as the old fire magic master of the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group."
Lei Xiao's sight finally stopped at a young fox general. He snapped his fingers and said, "Then, you will be the new Speaker of the Canglan Federation."
"Your Highness, are you talking about me?"
Phil's brown ears trembled, and he said in disbelief, "Is this true?!"
Looking at the other party's astonished face, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and said: "Of course, from this moment on, you are the supreme ruler of the Cang Lan Federation."
"Thank you very much, Your Highness! I will definitely not let you down!"
Phil's resolute face was full of excitement, and he knelt down in front of Lei Xiao again.
Naturally, other generals, including Seville, did not dare to have any objections and rushed to express their support and agreement.
Seeing this expected scene, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
Although this decision may seem hasty to outsiders, it is actually the result of careful consideration.
Lei Xiao, who had conducted in-depth research on the Cang Lan Federation, understood it clearly.
The fox people are the best among the many humanoid races. Not only do they possess keen observation and five senses, and extremely strong combat capabilities, but most of them are upright in nature. They combine the agility of fox-like beasts with the simplicity of humans, making them the best choice for subordinates.
Moreover, Phil himself is one of the most outstanding young generals of the Cang Lan Federation. He is both brave and resourceful, but he has been suppressed just because of his impure bloodline.
Furthermore, he had heard about the power structure of the Cang Lan Federation a long time ago, and no humanoid race had yet been able to reach the top of the power pyramid.
In this way, he not only expressed his determination to change the Cang Lan Federation and shocked those high-ranking parliamentary generals, but also gained the favor and full support of the humanoid races. It was like having the best of both worlds.
"I am willing to lead the Qingyu Clan and even the entire Canglan Federation and swear allegiance to you, Lord!"
Sure enough, in a subsequent private conversation with Phil, Lei Xiao easily won the loyalty of the fox general and gained another capable general.
[Name: Phil]
[Occupation: Foxman Sharpshooter]
[Level: Level 4, 5 stars]
【Loyalty: 100】
[Skill 1: Storm Continuous Shot [Active] (Long-range physical single target attack)]
[Skill 2: Wing Arrow Block [Active] (Unable to move, increases own range)]
[Skill 3: Fox Eyes [Passive] (Gain night vision effect)]
[Skill 4: Heart of the Fox Archer [Passive] (When using a longbow, moderately increases damage and is immune to blinding effects)]
After closing the opponent's attribute bar, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
What he had to do next was to further consolidate Phil's position and allow him to completely control the Cang Lan Federation.
