Lord of the Nation: My talent is 100 million points strong

Chapter 1260 The One Who Accepted the Summoning
When he ran to the front of Lei Xiao, he saw that the middle-aged man with a stern face crawled on the ground while still some distance away, and slid directly to his knees in front of Lei Xiao, with a look of fear and trepidation on his face.

"I, Witt, represent all the soldiers to greet the Lord! Please forgive our disrespect! We will definitely assist the Lord with all our strength!"

The middle-aged man with a stern face almost buried his head at Lei Xiao's feet, and said tremblingly: "If the Lord wants to punish me and others, then punish me alone. Even if it means taking my life, I will never complain!"

As the middle-aged general named Witt finished speaking, the rest of the new subordinates immediately made the same kneeling posture, not daring to look directly at Lei Xiao at all.

Looking at the sudden scene before them, both Lei Xiao himself and the other subordinates around him had a hint of confusion on their faces, obviously they were all caught off guard.

"Whatever made them so terrified, they must have been through a lot."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately bent down and helped the trembling Witt up, smiling and said: "Everyone has come here to obey my call. I can't even welcome you in time, so how can I blame you?"

After saying that, Lei Xiao pulled Witt to the front of the other new subordinates, helped several of them up one after another, and signaled the others to stand up as well, without having to continue the formal ceremony.

After everyone stood up nervously, it was the turn of Witt and other new subordinates to be surprised.

Because they really could not see any trace of blame on the lord's gentle face, but rather it was full of sincerity.

Surprised and flattered, Witt opened his lips again and again, and then tentatively asked: "My Lord, you really don't blame me and others?"

"You are determined to fight for me and have come to this strange land. What crime have you committed?"

Lei Xiao looked at Witt's trouser legs and knees that were scratched by his slipping and kneeling just now. He motioned Ye Cang to come forward to treat the latter, and turned his palm up and handed a new set of lining to the other party.

"This……"

Holding the new clothes that Lei Xiao casually handed to him in his hands and feeling the warmth brought by the healing spell, Witt's face was full of gratitude. While feeling flattered, he finally told them the reason for their fear and trepidation.

"My Lord, we didn't bring any equipment or personal belongings with us. This has caused great losses to you, my Lord!"

After hearing what Witt said, Lei Xiao suddenly understood.

There is indeed such a clause in the master-servant contract that servants who accept the call should carry the necessary tools and equipment so that they can serve the territory as soon as they receive the call.

"That makes sense. Even for a country, the weapons and armor carried by a group of third-level warriors and other personal trump cards are a considerable amount of wealth. After all, a force that has the strength to cultivate third-level forces cannot only equip them with second-level equipment."

"And Witt and the others didn't bring any equipment. Theoretically speaking, this really meant that I suffered a loss."

Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and figured everything out in his mind.

I remember that Qin Qian mentioned in a report that the lords in this land had also experienced this situation for a period of time in the early days. After all, equipment was extremely scarce for the lords at that time, and it could even be said to be the key to survival.

After finally summoning a subordinate who is dedicated to fighting, especially a stronger second-level subordinate, if the other party does not bring any equipment and comes empty-handed, the lords will indeed feel disappointed, and it is not uncommon for them to vent their anger on the new subordinate.

"But after I gradually integrated the power of the lords, whether it was equipment or other supplies, they were distributed according to demand, and those who were capable would get more. This made the lords no longer worry about survival, and this situation naturally did not happen again."

"As for me, I have already equipped all the second-level and above forces of the entire human world with third-level and above equipment. Naturally, I will not care about these 1,000 sets of third-level equipment, even if they are not upgraded."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, seeing that the lord did not speak for a while, the hearts of Witt and other new servants, which had just been put at ease, rose to their throats again.

Before accepting the summons, Witt had witnessed with his own eyes that the alien lord and tyrant in their land had summoned a team of the same number and size, and all the members died because the new subordinates did not carry any equipment. This situation was not uncommon, and sometimes they were even summoned just for equipment.

After all, that high and mighty tyrant lord from another world can always summon high-level subordinates by some means, and he doesn't care about anything at all.

The terrifying summoning scene, the new subordinates who fell down in shock, and the tyrant's unbridled laughter became Witt's nightmare, which he would never forget for the rest of his life.

Therefore, the first thing Witt did when he was summoned was to kowtow to Lei Xiao and admit his mistake.

Witt had already learned this by observing the alien lord in that land before.

Although the young lord with black hair and black eyes in front of him is completely different from the tyrant lord, he must be the ruler of this land, or at least on the same level as the tyrant lord, as long as he can summon 1000 third-level subordinates at once.

Faced with such a big shot, how could Witt and others not be terrified?

Noticing that Witt's expression was still somewhat uncertain, Lei Xiao did not speak immediately. Instead, he smiled and moved aside, motioning Witt and others to look at the other subordinate teams in the territory.

Whether it was the Glorious Guards in shining golden armor, the magicians in deep robes, or the ordinary-looking peasant squadrons, the weapons and armor on their bodies were all more brilliant than the third-tier equipment. As for the equipment of the main subordinates, it goes without saying that it made Witt and others dazzled.

At this point, these new subordinates noticed that in such a huge territory, there were all equipments of level four or above, and the national-level ones were so dazzling that it was simply unbelievable!
Even the tyrant lords there would never have such a large territory!
"Do you understand now? What I value is not your equipment, but you. All I need are comrades who can fight side by side with me and walk with me. That's all."

Lei Xiao nodded to Witt and the other new subordinates, and said solemnly: "The moment you decided to fight for me, you became an indispensable part of me, everyone present, and this territory."

"You can rest assured now. We have prepared breakfast for you. When the summons are over, we will welcome you together."

After Lei Xiao finished speaking, the other subordinates behind him all nodded with smiles on their faces.

After seeing this scene, both Witt and the other new subordinates were stunned for a while, and then they all knelt on the ground again, expressing their inner thoughts with actions.

The only difference was that last time they were filled with fear and anxiety, but this time they were filled with excitement and gratitude. They never thought that they would meet such a wise master.

If that tyrant had half the magnanimity of the lord in front of him, how could they have ended up with their families broken up and had to choose a future of uncertainty?

But fortunately, they were lucky. Instead of meeting another tyrant, they met the lord in front of them.

Just as the new subordinates knelt on the ground, Lei Xiao opened the overview interface of the new subordinates while listening to the prompt sound of increasing loyalty.

"So Witt and the others are all ground dragon knights? I didn't expect to summon such a rare type of soldiers. After all, in this land, only the Cold Flame Kingdom has such an organized force."

"You know, even with my balanced training, Leng Yan's Earth Dragon Knights have not yet developed such combat power."

A hint of surprise flashed across Lei Xiao's eyes, and he continued to check.

In terms of strength, some commanders such as Witt have all reached the peak of the third level, while the vast majority of knights are at the third level, one star, and it seems that they have obviously just been promoted not long ago.

"This is also to be expected. After all, a force of a thousand men with all members at level three is rare, not to mention a rare type of soldier like the Earth Dragon Knight."

"Under normal circumstances, three or four ordinary knights of equal combat power may not be a match for a ground dragon knight, not to mention a group charge."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly and quickly opened the attribute columns of several new subordinates.

In terms of skills, the knights all master active skills such as "Heavy Spear Thrust", "Earth Dragon's Backstab", "Heavy Sword Cross Slash", and "Heavy Shield Slam".

Passive skills include "Earth Dragon Companion", "Dust-Proof Eye", mastery and proficiency of lance, heavy sword, shield, etc.

"Needless to say, I will be able to supply the knights with sufficient fourth-level equipment immediately, and the mounts they need can also be obtained in a short time. After all, the Yorkman family, one of the three great families of Lengyan, is the cradle of the Earth Dragon Knights and raises a large number of Earth Dragons."

"In addition, although the territory also has knight-like troops such as half-elf wolf cavalry, they are only ranger troops that are good at fighting in jungles and other complex terrains. They are unable to charge into battle on the front battlefield."

"And this group of ground dragon knights will undoubtedly make up for the territory's shortcomings in this area. Whether as a ceremonial guard that demonstrates the majesty of the territory or as a mobile force, they will play a huge role!"

"After all, with the transformation and expansion of the territory, the scope of the plains and cities will become larger and larger, which just meets the knights' requirements for terrain."

Lei Xiao thought so and helped Witt over again.

Then, Lei Xiao waved his hand, and 1000 sets of fourth-level equipment needed by the Earth Dragon Knights were neatly arranged.

Before Witt and the others could react, the same number of high-level storage rings, various high-level potions, magic scrolls and other high-priced items also appeared one after another, leaving Witt and the others stunned.

Those who once defended the periphery of the tyrant's territory knew clearly that even the tyrant's direct subordinates had not reached such a level!

"Put them all away quickly, this is just the beginning."

Looking at the grateful expressions of Witt and others, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and said: "From this moment on, as long as I am still standing here, this land will always have a place for you to stand on."

"Having the honor of coming to the Lord's territory is undoubtedly a great blessing for us, the stray dogs. I am willing to fight to the death for the Lord!"

Witt's strong body kept shaking and his voice was extremely excited, while the other new subordinates all had the same expression and were crying with joy.

After the new subordinates put away their equipment and quickly changed their clothes, a powerful force of third-level warriors was fully displayed in front of Lei Xiao.

“This is my subservience.”

Lei Xiao looked at the thousands of black heavily-armored knights lined up neatly in front of him, especially those eyes filled with gratitude and admiration, and nodded with satisfaction.

Although the loyalty of these weathered new subordinates increased significantly more slowly, they had all reached 100 points.

While feeling satisfied, a hint of curiosity could not help but emerge on Lei Xiao's face.

As for the specific content of curiosity, it is naturally what exactly Witt and others have experienced. This is also one of Lei Xiao’s predetermined goals, which is to learn as much as possible about the situation of the alien lords in other plates.

"My Lord, you are curious about why I and others have fallen to this state, right?"

Witt obviously noticed Lei Xiao's thoughts. He first sighed heavily and then described it in detail.

It turned out that after the tyrant of that land dominated the human world, he immediately attacked the outside world without stopping.

As a result, due to their arrogance, poor command and hasty preparation, they were ultimately defeated and suffered heavy losses in the human world.

Finally, the tyrant came up with a sinister plan, which was to use the small country bordering the outer world as bait, allowing the army of the mortal enemy, the Dark Orcs, to march straight in, and then lay siege.

"Could it be that the bait is..."

After hearing what Witt said, Lei Xiao had already reacted.

"Yes, Lord, this is the hometown we are waiting for."

Witt's voice trembled as he responded, "At that time, my subordinates and I were still diligently guarding the tyrant's territory and had no idea what was happening."

"When my subordinates received the order and were transferred there to wipe out the last Dark Orcs, they found that their former homeland had turned into a ruin with corpses all over the ground. There was deathly silence everywhere, and only the carrion-eating black magic crows were still screaming and hovering in the dark sky."

At this point, Witt was already crying.

"The cracked ground, the lingering gunpowder smoke, and the pungent smell of blood shocked me. The tyrant finally won, but I lost everything."

"Finally, my subordinates and others decided to escape from the clutches of the tyrant, but were soon discovered by his minions and were ambushed at night. A defensive barrier was also placed in the equipment warehouse."

"In a hurry, I and others had to hide lightly, and then we were summoned by the lord."

Witt wiped his cheek and said with gratitude: "Thanks to the Lord, otherwise the fate of my subordinates would be self-evident."

Listening to Witt's description, Lei Xiao frowned slightly, while his brain was working rapidly.
