Chapter 1219 Meeting and the Lord's Decision
In the brightly lit hall, the smoke of battle and the thick black fog had gradually dissipated. Lei Xiao stood in front of the throne, looking at the soldiers of the Summoning Legion who were cleaning the hall around him, and took a deep breath.
A whole day had passed since the end of the battle. During this time, not only had the entire Glowing City been completely under his control, but reports of losses had also been received from various places.
As countless roots dissipated, although everywhere was in ruins and many buildings and bridges were destroyed to varying degrees, fortunately the casualties were minimal, although most people were quite frightened.
"According to Fei'er's analysis, there are two main reasons why this time it didn't lead to a disaster. The first reason is that we stopped the opponent in time and didn't let the absorption continue."
"The second reason is that the opponent was too greedy. He chose to fully activate the Blood Dark Tree from the beginning, instead of starting with the Glowing City. Since the number of targets that were entangled and absorbed energy at the same time was too large, it actually reduced the pressure on each individual."
"In this case, even the frail old people and children have not reached an irreversible point, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise."
Lei Xiao just thought of this, and Wu Fuxiong, who was in charge of summarizing the situation, bowed and reported: "Your Excellency, the casualties of our soldiers who participated in the battle have been counted. Although the overall casualties exceeded 70%, most of them did not suffer serious injuries due to their excellent equipment and complete distribution of magic potions."
At this point, Wu's tone was filled with respect again, and he continued, "Thanks to the Lord's timely efforts to turn the tide, even the soldiers with more serious injuries did not fall down in the ravages of the roots."
"I have said it before, this is not just my achievement, each and every one of you has contributed greatly."
Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly, and then said seriously: "Give orders to Ju Bai, Fei Si and others to treat the wounded with all their strength. Don't worry about the consumption of magic potions. I want every soldier to get the best treatment. This is what they deserve."
"In addition, I have instructed Jiang Xi and Bingshi City to bring in healing soldiers and experts from all over the place to further improve our healing capabilities. The seriously injured subordinates have all been teleported back to the Bright Healing Center in the territory. We must make use of all resources."
After a pause, Lei Xiao added: "By the way, it's not just our soldiers, but also the soldiers from the Iron Hand Islands and the Kingdom of Grimm that need to be taken into consideration. Their contributions are also an indispensable part of victory."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, Catherine and Lawrence, who were also dealing with follow-up issues on the side, couldn't help but look at him with gratitude and admiration.
"Please rest assured, Lord. I will do my best to coordinate this matter."
Wu Zhongzhong nodded again, then bowed and left.
Just as Wu Ganggang left, Lorenz, Hui Lao and Joniel came over. With the help of high-level potions and healing scrolls, although all three of them suffered serious injuries, they recovered quite quickly.
"Your Highness, with the assistance of the two presidents, all the uncontrollable magic traps in the entire Glowing City have been lifted!"
The old bishop touched his chest with excitement and saluted, reporting to Lei Xiao: "The crisis of the entire Glowing City has been completely resolved. This sacred city has returned to the embrace of light!"
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
Lei Xiao walked down from the high platform where the throne was, nodded and motioned for everyone to sit down at the temporary conference table that had just been set up, and then said seriously: "Then next, we should discuss the affairs of the Holy Temple of Light itself."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, everyone looked serious and nodded heavily. Even the three current kings, Catherine, Lawrence, and Eckhart, the first princess of Pars, Cecilia, and the kings of Lengyan present all gathered around at Lei Xiao's signal.
As one of the three neutral organizations protecting the human world, the Temple of Light had such an incident that almost destroyed the entire human world. It really needs to be discussed in detail.
Although all of this was caused by the evil god's chosen son behind the scenes, it is undeniable that the Temple of Light itself is also to blame.
After everyone was seated, Lei Xiao's eyes swept over the figures in front of him one by one.
Including herself, the heads of four countries, the Cold Flame Kingdom, the Iron Hand Islands, the Verdant Kingdom, and the Grimm Kingdom, have gathered. Although Cecilia is attending the meeting as the first princess of Pars, she can become the new emperor of the Pars Empire at any time if she wants.
With the leaders of five countries gathered together, plus the old presidents of the two major neutral organizations, the Mercenary Guild and the Alchemist Guild, all the people present were in high positions, capable of dominating the course of the entire human world.
"Everyone, I won't waste any more time on polite words. Let's get straight to the point."
Lei Xiao, who was sitting at the head of the group, nodded slightly and said to everyone, "This matter not only involves the Holy Temple of Light itself, but also involves nobles and even royal families from various countries, who have become the other party's pawns. So I think in order to completely calm this storm, we must make the truth of the matter public and conduct a comprehensive investigation of all nobles."
"Your Highness is right. This way, those remnants still hiding in the dark will have nowhere to hide, and it can also serve as a warning to the entire human world."
Joniel's old face was full of solemnity. He nodded to Lei Xiao and said, "My Alchemist Guild agrees with His Royal Highness' proposal."
"My Mercenary Guild also fully supports this."
Gray Elder followed closely and added: "Only by doing this can the human world recover from this crisis as quickly as possible."
After the two old presidents expressed their opinions one after another, Lawrence and Eckhart, as well as the Cold Flame kings, as their subordinates, not to mention Catherine and Cecilia, all responded without any hesitation.
"As for the second question, it is about the Temple of Light itself."
After the first topic was passed, Lei Xiao continued, "It is conceivable that after the matter was made public, the reputation of the Holy Temple of Light would be greatly reduced, so what we need to decide next is whether it is necessary for the Holy Temple of Light to continue to stand in the human world."
Hearing this, everyone fell silent, and the old bishop even lowered his head in shame.
It is a great irony that the guardian of the human world has become a hotbed of darkness.
After a while, Lawrence's old face showed a solemn expression. He spoke first, "Your Highness, the Holy Temple of Light is the main source of healing experts in the human world. It is of great significance to the human world. It is better to keep it for the benefit of the human world."
"Saint King Grimm is right. There are still a group of priests who are bathed in light gathered around His Royal Highness. They have given speeches and made many contributions. At least they should have a place to go."
Eckhart did not hesitate and continued, "I think that as long as everything is under control and there are no grudges among the human world, this is enough to prevent trouble before it happens."
After the two of them finished speaking, Catherine and Cecilia quickly nodded in agreement.
"I have no objection to the opinions of Saint King Grim and King Verdant."
Joniel stroked his short gray beard, then shook his head helplessly and said, "Fundamentally speaking, our Alchemist Guild is also responsible for letting the other party run rampant in secret for a hundred years. If we could have discovered the clues in advance, perhaps all this could have been avoided."
"Yes, in the final analysis, this is all because we are suspicious of each other and each of us is acting on our own."
Gray Old Man, with an embarrassed look on his face, sighed and added, "If everyone is open and honest, what's the harm in letting the Holy Temple of Light continue to stand in the human world?"
"The human world is very close to becoming one."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and then concluded: "Then, let's implement it according to your opinions."
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Your Majesties, and the two Presidents!"
Lorenz's old face was full of excitement, and he knelt down in front of Lei Xiao.
"Please stand up, old sir. You have made an invaluable contribution this time. There is no need to be so polite."
Lei Xiao helped Lorenz up and returned to his seat.
Lei Xiao also has a positive attitude towards the survival of the Temple of Light, but the premise is naturally in his own hands.
As long as we can control this giant that was once the world's largest monster, it will be of great benefit to the future in every aspect.
"In that case, let's determine the new ruler of the Holy Temple of Light. Only the right person can allow the Holy Light to shine upon the earth again."
Lei Xiao's gaze moved, and finally landed on Sophia, whose fair face shone with holiness and gentleness, and said with a smile: "I propose that Her Majesty the Saint Queen take over this position. What do you think?"
"I?"
Sophia was obviously caught off guard and didn't react for a while.
"I agree. Her Majesty Sophia is the most respected monarch of the Kingdom of Grimm and has an excellent reputation in the Temple of Light. She is the most suitable candidate!"
Lawrence immediately voted in favor, his face full of excitement.
"I agree. Even the boundless grasslands are echoing with the good name of Her Majesty the Saint Queen, and the eagles in the sky are cheering for her."
Eckhart naturally had the same responsibility. Even if Lei Xiao asked Chao Yan to take over as the ruler of the Temple of Light, the new verdant king would be able to sing a song of praise.
"Me too."
Catherine looked at Lei Xiao with admiration. Although her words were brief, the meaning was self-evident. As long as it was Lei Xiao's proposal, she would definitely agree.
As for Cecilia, she nodded her head rapidly without any objection.
In the heart of the first princess of Pars, the strength and background shown by Lei Xiao have long been unattainable. It is a great honor for her to be able to chat with the latter.
"Your Highness's proposal is indeed the most appropriate choice."
Gray Old Man and Joniel looked at each other, and both saw a hint of certainty in each other's eyes.
The two of them naturally understood clearly that as long as Sophia took over, the Temple of Light would be directly controlled by Lei Xiao.
But this young man from another world not only saved the entire human world, but may also be able to lead the human race to stand at the top of all races and stand shoulder to shoulder with those arrogant immortal races again. How exciting is this?
What's more, with the current trend, this young man from another world is only half a step away from dominating the entire human world. What other choice do they have except to submit and go with the flow?
"Then it's decided."
Lei Xiao snapped his fingers lightly and smiled at Sophia, "Your Majesty, Queen Saint, although it may be a little abrupt, please do not refuse."
"Since it is the instruction of His Royal Highness, how can I refuse?"
A solemn look appeared on Sophia's fair face. She nodded seriously and said, "Although this position is of great importance, I will definitely do my best."
"See His Majesty the Pope!"
Seeing that everything was settled, the old bishop immediately came to Sophia and bowed respectfully, saying, "I grew up listening to your legendary stories when I was a child. It is my great honor to join you in turning your heart to the Holy Light!"
"Please stand up quickly, old sir. You are the pillar of this generation of the Holy Temple of Light. I will have to rely on you in the future."
Sophia, who was once the king of a country, was already accustomed to such scenes. She smiled and helped the other person up.
"Okay, let's end this meeting here. The catastrophe has just ended, and we still need everyone to go all out to guide the human world back to order. I believe you all already know about the catastrophe, and the challenges we face are far from over."
Lei Xiao stood up from his seat, nodded to everyone and said, "I will provide all the help you need, including a large number of building blueprints and various resources, to ensure that the broken human world will be renewed in a short time. No one will be displaced, and no one will starve or freeze."
"As you command, Your Highness the Prince!"
After hearing Lei Xiao's instructions, the leaders all stood up and spoke in unison.
Looking at the backs of everyone leaving, Lei Xiao did not relax, but immediately began to arrange some finishing work, such as taking over all the cities of Grimm, as well as celebration banquets and commendation meetings and other trivial matters.
Among these, especially regarding other cities under the Holy Temple of Light that had not yet been controlled around Glowing City, Lei Xiao immediately dispatched Bing Lao, Qi Duo and others to bring Ice Stone City to help Lawrence take over and ensure that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
In addition, Lei Xiao also informed Qin Qian and other lord leaders of the relevant situation, telling them that they could relax and fully cooperate with the reconstruction work in various places.
“Is it finally over?”
Looking at the generals and main subordinates on standby who took orders and left one after another, Lei Xiao's tense face finally relaxed a little and he slumped down in the soft conference chair.
Now that everything has been deployed, I should re-examine my new strengths and gains.
