Gray Old Man came forward and whispered to Lei Xiao with a serious look on his face, "Your Majesty, the Moon Hunter Mercenary Group just received urgent news about the Fluorescent Rift."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded and signaled Hui Lao to continue.
The Moon Hunter Mercenary Group is one of the three most powerful diamond-level mercenary groups of the human race, and is also a mercenary group directly under the Mercenary Guild.
Because he traveled between the human territory and the outside world all year round and was very familiar with the terrain and topography of the outside world around the human territory, he was appointed by Lei Xiao to become a scout force directly under the emperor, responsible for investigating the situation around the human territory to ensure the safety and stability of the human race.
During this period of time, the Moon Hunting Mercenaries had played a significant role in clearing out the surrounding barbarian forces. They were always able to discover the enemy's strongholds and fortresses, and grasp the movements of the enemy's army, making it easier for our army to attack and destroy them.
After Lei Xiao formed alliances with the dwarfs, tree people and wood elves, the range of activities of the Moon Hunter Mercenaries was further expanded until it covered all areas east of the northernmost tip of the Baibu Mountains, including the sphere of influence of the current three major allies.
As for the Fluorescent Rift, it is a super-large rift extending from the northernmost end of the Baibu Mountains, running all the way from the western coast to the eastern coast, almost spanning the entire plate.
It is precisely because of the existence of the fluorescent rift that the three major forces of dwarves, tree people, and wood elves on the edge of the outer domain are separated from other outer domain forces by terrain.
In other words, only by crossing the fluorescent rift can one reach the edge of the core area of the outer domain.
"Your Majesty, according to the latest intelligence from Moon Hunter Mercenary Leader Hill, several foreign forces located north of the Rift Valley have entered a state of war. The specific situation is currently unknown."
Gray's old face was still full of solemnity as he continued.
"We are entering a state of war even though the specific situation is unclear? This is on the border between us and the other side."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and nodded thoughtfully.
To the north of the rift are the unfamiliar foreign forces, and to the south of the rift are naturally the northernmost tip of Pars surrounded by the Hundred Mountains, as well as the sphere of influence of the three major allies: the dwarves, the tree people, and the wood elves.
Although the fluorescent rift is long and narrow, it is obviously not an insurmountable barrier for foreign forces.
In other words, under the premise that the other party's purpose is still unclear, we cannot rule out the possibility that the other party intends to move south to our detriment.
"We have just experienced a fierce battle. The main force and soldiers are all exhausted, and quite a few have been seriously injured. Now there is a sudden storm in the north of the rift valley. I have to say, it is really one wave after another. But no matter what, we have to finish the current affairs as soon as possible."
With this in mind, Lei Xiao first ordered Hui Lao to continue to pay close attention to the developments north of the rift, and then just as he was about to focus his attention again on Hong Ye, the heads of the three major allies, Broy, Shult, and Chris, rushed over one after another.
It was not difficult to tell from the three people's equally solemn expressions that they had obviously learned of the sudden tension in the north of the Rift Valley.
"Your Majesty, we have never had any conflict with the foreign forces north of the Rift Valley, but now they are suddenly preparing for war. Even if they are not targeting us, we have to be on guard."
Broy took a step forward first and nodded heavily at Lei Xiao with an anxious look on his face.
Unlike the Ents and Wood Elves who are separated by the natural barriers of forests and peaks, the Dwarf Elves are the least advantageous force both in terms of location and terrain. Once the forces on the other side of the Rift really move south, they will undoubtedly be the first to suffer.
What made Broy even more anxious was that with the end of the Battle of Dragon's Lair, the dwarfs were finally able to return to cities such as Misty Dream City on the ground after five hundred years. This was the dwarfs' long-cherished wish.
And now, just when his long-cherished wish had come true, he suddenly encountered a new situation. How could this not make the young dwarf elf king anxious?
"Don't worry, Your Majesty the Dwarf Elf. I have already said this when we formed the alliance. We are all comrades who will advance and retreat together. If you are threatened, the human race will naturally not stand idly by."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly to Broy and said, "Besides, we have already reached a consensus. The Fluorescent Rift is undoubtedly a gap that we must cross. Only when more forces join us can we be more confident in dealing with the Cataclysm."
"Your Majesty is right. The Tree People will always fight alongside the Human Race and all of you."
Shuerte's voice was firm, and his old face was full of seriousness as he said, "No matter what we face in the future, the Shuren will never take a step back."
"The same is true for the wood elves. They will always be the most loyal partners of the human race and you."
Chris followed closely behind and said without hesitation: "Although the fierce battle has just ended, just as His Majesty said, we don't have much time left, so the wood elves will immediately send 10 third-level legions to station near the rift valley, ready to fight at any time."
"The tree people will also try their best to station near the canyon."
There was no hesitation on Schulte's old, wood-carved face as he agreed.
"As for the human race, although their strength still needs to be strengthened, their million-strong army has already been prepared and is ready to respond to any emergency at any time."
Lei Xiao looked at the human generals on standby behind him and smiled slightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you all! The dwarf elves will also deploy their main forces near the canyon, and the matter of returning to the ground can be left to the dwarf elves' civilians and reserve forces."
Broy's still dark face was full of gratitude. He nodded heavily and said, "The dwarves once built more than a dozen fortresses of various sizes near the Rift Valley. Although they have been abandoned for hundreds of years, there is no problem in re-activating them!"
"That's settled then. The task of transporting soldiers and supplies will be given to me. Ice Stone City can easily reach any corner of the Rift Valley."
Lei Xiao snapped his fingers lightly, and the three leaders started to act separately again, and Lei Xiao also ordered the generals to cooperate.
Seeing that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, Lei Xiao turned his attention back to Hong Ye, who was giving a speech and summarizing under the awe-struck gaze of all the dragons.
"My fellow tribesmen, the fall of the culprit is only a new beginning, not the end of things. Our tribe has been in chaos for so many years. Now it is time to get everything back on track."
Hong Ye's voice was excited, and he said: "We have lost a lot in the past, but setbacks and hardships will only make us stronger. We must regain the glory of the dragon race and let the dragons stand on top of the world again!"
Listening to Hong Ye's speech, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
The sky cannot be without the sun for a day, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the same goes for the dragon group. After the coronation ceremony, Hong Ye is already the de facto Dragon King. With the assistance of dragons such as Serin and Hong Si, as well as many of Hong Ye's grandfather's old subordinates, it is not difficult for him to completely control the entire dragon group.
After all, there are only a few giant dragons here, and a considerable number of them are in the dragon group's own sphere of influence. The only problem is what is happening with the Dragon Elder Council.
"But just like Hongye said, I can't directly intervene in this matter, so let's leave it all to Hongye. I believe that she can accomplish all of this."
Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
While Lei Xiao was thinking about this, he listened to the reports from the generals.
At present, thanks to the unremitting efforts of Crystal Blue City and other human soldiers, all the barbarians around the human territory have been wiped out.
This undoubtedly means that there are no more threats around the human race, and Lei Xiao can focus all his attention on the fluorescent rift.
It is worth mentioning that after Benson led his soldiers to wipe out a large tribe of wild boar people, he accidentally rescued a group of goblins that were almost wiped out by the wild boar people. The group was tens of thousands in size, which made the other side very grateful.
Benson had fought alongside the goblin army led by Hongshi in Luolong City, so he naturally had a certain understanding of goblins.
After asking, Benson learned that this group of goblins was another branch of the Kingdom of Thorns. They did not choose to enter the Endless Passage with Redstone's ancestors and have been wandering ever since.
Since the leader of this goblin army had died in battle and the army was on the verge of collapse, Lei Xiao simply handed over everything to Redstone. After all, Redstone had made an invaluable contribution to our side, and after a series of battles, his goblin soldiers had also suffered a lot of losses, which just made up for the goblin population.
"Half-elves, Snow Wolf Tribe, Moon Wolf Tribe, Goblins, Blood Tribe... I have fought hard all the way here and have undoubtedly won the loyalty of many subordinate tribes. I hope they can integrate into the human world as soon as possible."
"Not only that, I also plan to further open the gates so that allies such as tree people, dwarves and wood elves can come to the human world at any time. At the same time, humans can also go to them for trade and travel. This is the key to the integration of humans into the Outlands."
"In addition, as far as I know, whether it is tree people, dwarf elves or wood elves, they actually have some weak subordinate tribes under their command, such as grass elves, cave-dwelling halflings, peak forest elves, etc., which can further inject new vitality and vigor into the human world. Only by combining the strengths of hundreds of families can the human race become stronger."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, Hong Ye had finished his speech, and brought Serin and other dragons who transformed into human form and walked towards the former together.
After being promoted to a sixth-rank warrior, Lei Xiao was quite surprised to notice that Hong Ye's figure had become taller and his skin had become whiter and tighter.
"My Lord, I have heard about the incident in the Fluorescent Rift Valley."
Hong Ye's fair and delicate face showed worry, and he asked, "How about I postpone my trip to the Elders' Council and bring people to assist you here for a while?"
After Hong Ye finished speaking, Serin and the other dragons also showed worried expressions and nodded.
"No need for that. Although you have completed the coronation ceremony, you have not yet been officially recognized. If you continue to stay here, things will inevitably change. Not only will you lose the support of some dragon elders, but it will also give your opponents more time to prepare and cause more trouble. After all, there are many of your fellow tribesmen in your hometown."
Lei Xiao hesitated for a moment, then responded: "What you need to do now is to completely stabilize your position in the entire dragon group, don't give the other party any chance to take advantage of you, and then gain the approval of the Dragon Elders Council. Only by doing this can we truly rest assured."
"My Lord, these subordinates all understand. So, you here..."
Hong Ye didn't finish his words, but the worry he expressed was self-evident.
"Don't worry, don't forget that the human race is no longer fighting alone, and we will have more and more friends."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and responded: "Besides, although several forces on the other side of the rift valley have suddenly changed, there is no reason or clue that it will be disadvantageous to us. Maybe there are other reasons. You just need to lead your people back safely."
"As you command, Lord, I will complete all matters as quickly as possible and strive to return to your side as soon as possible!"
Although worry was still revealed in Hong Ye's starry eyes, he still nodded heavily.
"The future is uncertain, so be extremely careful."
Lei Xiao patted Hong Ye's shoulder gently and gave more instructions.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, don't forget that we are here for you!"
Serin smiled with her missing front tooth, patted her chest and said, "Even if Hongye hasn't thought of it, we will definitely think of it!"
"My lady, please don't be so presumptuous as to address my king by his name."
Upon hearing this, Boll quickly reminded in a low voice.
"I see. I'm not used to it yet, am I?"
Serin pouted, and then smiled at Lei Xiao and said, "No matter what, please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will assist my king well even if it is for your sake."
"That's right, I'll do it even if it costs me everything."
Hong Si, who had just recovered from his injuries, also stepped forward and said solemnly, "It is your Majesty and our king who have brought us hope. We will never let your Majesty down."
After Hong Si finished speaking, the other powerful dragon warriors all nodded.
"Then I'll leave it to you. I'll be waiting for your return here."
Lei Xiao's eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally landed on Hong Ye. He nodded slightly and said, "Remember that sentence. No matter when, the territory will be your most solid backing."
"Goodbye, my lord."
Hong Ye nodded heavily, and immediately led the dragons to make final preparations before departure.
According to Lei Xiao's suggestion, all the dragons used shapeshifting potions to move in relatively inconspicuous human forms. At the same time, Lei Xiao also equipped everyone with invisibility cloaks.
When all this was done, Hong Ye first bowed deeply to Lei Xiao together with hundreds of powerful dragon warriors, and then flew out one after another and disappeared into the depths of the boundless mountain mist.
"Well, it's time to pay close attention to the situation of the Fluorescent Rift."
After watching Hong Ye leave, Lei Xiao's eyes sparkled, and he walked towards the portal with a group of generals.
