Chapter 1456 Doubts and Talks
After Fleming finished speaking, three terrain dragons surrounded by heavy armor flew over, and then landed heavily on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
As the dust settled, Lei Xiao noticed.
They were three fifth-level undead beasts, but they were covered in armor and were difficult to identify.
This is not surprising. After all, the human race and even most of the forces in the foreign lands are extremely wary of necromancy, and they don’t even know the difference between those who control humans and those who control animals.
Once seeing or hearing the appearance of the undead, it is bound to cause tension and anxiety, otherwise Fleming's profession would not have been described as a summoner in the legend of the nine dragon-slaying heroes.
Therefore, Fleming covered it up to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
Of course, Lei Xiao, who had subdued Lina and had Nolan's loyalty, understood clearly that there was a huge difference between the two.
Because no matter whether it is the lich or the nightmare knight and most of the necromancers, they are all people who use forbidden techniques to control people. They use fear and despair as the source of their practice. The cruelty and bloody methods are self-evident.
However, beast tamers such as Fleming, Lina, and Nolan only absorb the violence and savagery from the ferocious beasts and do not use any forbidden techniques, which is completely different.
Lei Xiao's gaze swept across the three terrain dragons, and his eyes suddenly widened.
On the broad back of each terrain dragon, there is a familiar figure, it is the missing Dana, Davis, and another powerful dragon!
"Your Majesty, while tracking the lich, I accidentally discovered a dungeon in an abandoned ancient city, where these people were imprisoned, and the lich was trying to kill them all. I heard that Your Majesty has a close relationship with the Dragonborn, so after a fierce battle, I brought them back."
Fleming touched his chest and saluted, then spoke again.
"Your Majesty, it is indeed Her Majesty the Queen, His Royal Highness the Prince, and the Captain of the Guards!"
After Lei Xiao's signal, the dragon generals such as Nar, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately rushed forward. After helping the three unconscious people down one by one, they reported to Lei Xiao with excitement on their faces.
"I have prepared all the high-level healing items. Quickly take them into the city for treatment."
Lei Xiao nodded to Nar and the others, then looked at Fleming again and said gratefully, "Old sir, you really helped a lot. They are my right-hand men."
"It is undoubtedly an honor for me to be able to help Your Majesty."
Fleming still maintained his luggage posture and responded: "Compared with your majesty's contributions to the human race, what I have done is not worth mentioning."
"In short, I will be even more powerful if I can get the help of the old gentleman."
Lei Xiao gathered his thoughts, nodded to the old dragon slayer and said, "Time is urgent, let's go into the city first."
After saying that, Lei Xiao led everyone into the Ice Stone City. As the heavy gate of the Ice Stone City was completely closed, in just a moment, the entire city appeared in front of an area filled with black air. This was the edge of the Howling Land where the Lich was located, and it was also the rendezvous area agreed upon by our side and the two alliances.
At first glance, the thick black fog covered the sky and the earth, and it was impossible to see the scenery inside. Even the surrounding area was littered with dead trees and bones. There was no sign of life, as if the end of the world had come.
"The area where this lich is located is indeed extremely strange."
Lei Xiao stood on the towering wall of Bingshi City, looking at the deep darkness like an abyss in front of him, and frowned tightly.
Although Bingshi City was still several kilometers away from the area filled with black fog, even at this distance, he could still feel a thick and cold deathly aura rushing towards him, which made him feel awe-inspiring.
"I'm sorry, Lord. Due to the fierce battle last night, the absolute defense barrier and teleportation function of Ice Stone City have been restored, but other barriers such as purification and isolation have not yet been restored, so I'm sorry to make you unhappy."
Seeing Lei Xiao frowning, Shuang hurriedly touched his chest and saluted, looking ashamed.
"You misunderstood. I was looking at the entire area, not just the things I perceived in front of me."
Lei Xiao casually touched Shuang's head and smiled, "At this distance, it shouldn't have any impact on the soldiers below level 5 in the city, right?"
"My Lord, this is a safe distance and will not be affected by the miasma. The detection barrier I temporarily deployed did not detect any abnormalities."
Shuang nodded heavily, and then a hint of helplessness emerged on his fair face, saying: "Unfortunately, because many barriers have not yet been restored, Bingshi City cannot directly go deep into the other side's territory."
"It doesn't matter. Ice Stone City is certainly convenient, but we must also be prepared to not rely on Ice Stone City. This is the best opportunity to hone our skills."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and waved his hand slightly.
Seeing that the friendly forces of the two alliances had not arrived yet, Lei Xiao turned to Fleming again, took out a set of sixth-level equipment and some sixth-level trump cards, and said with a smile: "Old sir, you have helped a lot this time, these are my return gifts to you."
"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable."
Fleming, who came to Icestone City for the first time, was already shocked by the grandeur of this divinely favored place. Now he saw so many divine weapons that only the top masters of second-rate forces could possess. He waved his hands and said flatteredly, "I just came to your majesty. These are too precious."
"Take it. Compared with the old gentleman's achievements, these are nothing."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and handed these colorful objects directly to the other party.
Afterwards, there is no need to say how grateful and lamented Fleming was. After all, even though he had been traveling in the outside world for hundreds of years, most of the time he was just concentrating on cultivation and could not achieve even a little bit of these things.
But what is certain is that these can undoubtedly enhance his strength to a great extent and allow him to reach a whole new level!
With great excitement in his heart, Fleming's gaze swept over our strong men one by one until it fell on Lina.
I remember that when I asked this girl to leave her hometown and go to the human territory for training, her strength was only at the peak of the third level. But now she is no longer the same as before, just like the current human race.
If one had not seen it with one's own eyes, who would have imagined that the existence that was once regarded as an ant by the tribes in the outside world could now occupy a place in the outside world, not only possessing more than 50 third-level legions, but even surpassing many old-fashioned foreign forces?
And all of this is because of the young human monarch in front of him!
Fleming's gaze, filled with excitement and awe, finally turned back to Lei Xiao, his face full of excitement.
Noticing the excited look from the other party, Lei Xiao just smiled in response.
Under his own training, Lina, who already had extraordinary talent, has now reached the fifth level and is moving towards the peak of the fifth level.
The overall strength of the human race has naturally also increased. Not only the million-strong army in the city, but even the ordinary defenders in the human territory have long been transformed from the past. They have basically reached the second level or above, which was the level of the most elite legion of the human race not long ago.
Of course, as long as we don't stop, this is far from the limit of human beings.
"Hehe, teacher, with the help of the Lord, I am now able to control the giant dragon undead!"
Lina patted her chest proudly, and then asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Teacher, I remember that when I left, you were just a fifth-level strongman, why are you so powerful now?"
"Nizi, your hometown is a member of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance after all. If a strange sixth-level expert appears, how can it not attract the attention of the Rainforest's top leaders?"
Fleming smiled faintly and responded: "Master just wants to practice in a low profile and doesn't want to cause any trouble."
"So, the teacher was hiding his strength back then? Even the elders of the clan didn't notice it."
Lina blurted out as if something had suddenly dawned on her.
"Having said that, I am also very confused."
Gray Old Man, Joniel, and Qiduo, who was also one of the Nine Dragon Slayers, looked at each other and asked in confusion, "Old friend, when you were exterminating the evil dragon and when you left the human race to travel to the outer realms, your strength was only comparable to ours. Why has it increased so dramatically now?"
Especially Gray Old Man and Jonil who have already advanced to the sixth level understood clearly that after surviving nine deaths and finally entering the sixth level hall, even though they have practiced hard for so many years, they are still a long way from the sixth level two stars.
And this guy Fleming actually reached the sixth level and five stars, which is simply unbelievable!
While feeling puzzled, Joniel seemed to have thought of something and blurted out, "Old friend, you wouldn't have entered the sixth level at that time, right?"
"It's always better to keep a low profile."
Fleming nodded without comment and smiled, "I have to say, it's really surprising to see you two old guys still alive."
"I won't die before you."
Gray Old Man and Joniel were obviously not willing to admit defeat and responded with raised eyebrows.
However, Fleming's next words caught the two of them off guard: "By the way, I wasn't the only one who hid my strength back then."
After that, before Gray Old Man and Jonil could react, Fleming looked at Qiduo, who was still young and beautiful, nodded slightly and said, "But compared with Qiduo, we old men have really changed completely."
"That's not right. Even though half-elves have a longer lifespan, I am the one holding you back."
Qiduo smiled helplessly, and a trace of vicissitudes appeared on her delicate white face.
Among the four old friends who have reunited, she is the only one who is still stuck at the peak of the fifth level and unable to break through. How can she not feel regretful?
"Oh, right. Over a hundred years ago, I saw a half-elf who looked like Wangyou at the entrance of the Mirage Market. Even their auras were very similar."
Fleming obviously remembered something, and blurted out to Qiduo: "It's just that the other party's figure flashed by, and there were several powerful and formidable people following him. I didn't have time to say hello."
"You mean Aunt Forget-Your-Sorrow is still alive?"
After hearing Fleming's words, Qiduo opened her eyes wide with an expression of disbelief.
As Wangyou's successor and niece, Qiduo knew clearly that the former clan leader who once led the Zhuyue clan to assist the hero king Lengyan in his wars had died unexpectedly in a war more than five hundred years ago, and not even his body was left.
But what is certain is that if this former patriarch with extraordinary talent were still alive, he would have already entered the realm of a sixth-rank strongman.
The most crucial thing is that Qiduo, whose parents died unexpectedly when she was young, was raised by Wangyou, so her deep feelings for the latter are self-evident.
"But if my aunt is still alive, why doesn't she return to the Moon Chasing Clan to find me? You know, this is her home."
Qiduo's fair face was once again filled with confusion, and she looked lost.
"Maybe my eyes are blurry because of my old age? Or maybe there are other reasons."
Fleming didn't say anything else, just shook his head helplessly.
After hearing the conversation between several people, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
At present, as he had successively subdued Chris, Broy, Fanny and others, although there were more and more sixth-order combat forces under his command, most of them had their own duties and important responsibilities, and it was far from being able to call on them at will.
Not only Fleming in front of him, if Wangyou and even other dragon-slaying heroes were still alive, they would undoubtedly become an extremely important force.
"However, even Fleming may not know the whereabouts of these people. Let's take it one step at a time. These powerful people, who are either from the human race or have close ties with the human race, have been in the outer realm for a long time. Perhaps they can provide considerable help in addition to themselves."
Just as Lei Xiao was thinking about this, Bing Lao appeared and saluted to him, saying, "Your Majesty, the people from the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and the Desert Alliance have arrived one after another."
As Bing Lao finished speaking, Lei Xiao looked towards the surroundings of Bingshi City. Sure enough, he saw two iron divisions emitting tremendous momentum converging from the left and right sides of the city. Judging from the flags, they were the Wild Sand Alliance and the Rainforest Fortress Alliance.
“I have to say, this kind of scene of friendly forces gathering together is really exciting.”
Lei Xiao looked at the two teams of powerful warriors who were obviously much stronger and were gathering quickly under the city wall, and nodded slightly.
At this moment, even the black fog ahead and all the unknown howling places did not seem so unfathomable.
"Then it's time to take action."
Lei Xiao waved his hand and ordered the surrounding warriors: "Those above level 5, follow me!"
Under the command of Lei Xiao, as the heavy gate of Bingshi City opened, our powerful men who were ready to go filed out and stood in the center of the two friendly forces.
Lei Xiao, who was at the front of the team, looked back and saw that our team and the two friendly forces were a black mass. The strong men above level five were so dense that the number was close to tens of thousands.
Feeling the incomparable momentum surging back and forth in the air, not only Lei Xiao, but even the other strong men around him were shocked. This was a genuine fifth-order legion!
Just as Lei Xiao was feeling overwhelmed, two teams of strong men flew over. (End of this chapter)
