Chapter 371: Controlling the Ni Kingdom Realm! Queen Elsa!
He walked out of the treasure vault.
Li Yue returned to the Wang Gong.
"Respected Lord Chenxi!"
Eight elderly-faced great nobles bowed deeply.
They were the heads of the true great families of the Ni Kingdom Realm—the strongest few families besides the royal house.
They controlled every aspect of the Ni Kingdom Realm.
Moreover, each held the title of Hou Jue, the highest rank of nobility in the Ni Kingdom Realm.
Although they were very reluctant to come.
At this moment, the entire Wang Cheng was already under Lord Chenxi's control.
Those Moon Elf archers riding blood vultures one by one.
And those powerful witches one by one.
Plus the holy angels with outstretched holy wings, hovering in the sky.
All of them made them dare not make any move that might cause Lord Chenxi to misunderstand. "My lords, it is an honor to see you." Li Yue smiled and bowed slightly in return.
"We do not know, Respected Lord Chenxi, how you intend to handle Hogra City and the entire Ni Kingdom Realm?" The eight great nobles exchanged glances.
Then the eldest head of the Cecil family spoke up to ask.
The Cecil family has a long history.
Before the Ni Kingdom Realm was even established, it had been passed down on this land for hundreds of years.
It is also the oldest family in the Ni Kingdom Realm.
At the same time, it is the most powerful family besides the royal house. "Resources and faith."
Li Yue smiled, looking at the eight great nobles before him who could represent the entire Ni Kingdom Realm: "I only need these two things, and power can be yours." At present.
He did not yet have the ability to control a kingdom.
There were far too many matters in every aspect within it.
If he got bogged down in them.
There would be no leisure at all.
The witches were spellcasters after all, not professional administrators.
Managing such a territory as Lord Chenxi's domain was fine.
But controlling every aspect of a kingdom was impossible. So—he simply gave up the tempting idea of becoming a king outright.
Lord Chenxi's domain was his foundation.
And he only needed the Ni Kingdom Realm as a vassal force to support Lord Chenxi's domain.
As soon as he said this, immediately—whether it was the eldest head of the Cecil family or the other heads, their breathing grew slightly rapid.
Power can be yours!
This is the power of a kingdom! If their family could hold it—just thinking of it.
The breathing of the few grew even more rapid, appearing very excited.
Taking a deep breath.
The Cecil head bowed deeply again: "We do not know, Respected Lord Chenxi, what resources you need?" "I am a lord, so naturally I need energy." Li Yue smiled, paused for a moment, then said again: "Every day I need you to provide two hundred thousand energy." Upon hearing this—including the Cecil head, the eight people froze.
Two hundred thousand energy!
As heads of great families, they themselves had already become lords.
Naturally, they knew very well what two hundred thousand energy represented.
They even had price lists for various resources on their transaction interfaces.
A single blue magical equipment piece.
Was only between 300 to 600 energy.
Two hundred thousand energy meant needing over three thousand—over six thousand blue magical equipment pieces!
Of course.
Measuring it entirely by magical equipment would not be right.
After all, the territories currently controlled by their Ni Kingdom Realm were not few, exceeding one hundred.
Hunting magical beasts daily could yield a lot of energy. But—their territories would not develop anymore?
"Respected Lord Chenxi, we need to discuss this." The eight exchanged glances and bowed, saying.
Although this condition was astonishing.
But the Ni Kingdom Realm was too large, with over two million square kilometers of land and seventy to eighty million subjects.
Enough to create astonishing wealth.
And the number of lords could continue to increase. "Please, go ahead." Li Yue nodded.
He did not want to make a mess of the Ni Kingdom Realm.
The passage to the underworld had already appeared.
Within the Ni Kingdom Realm, there would likely be passages as well.
If he slaughtered all these families and stripped them of resources.
Then the Ni Kingdom Realm would be finished.
Tens of millions of common people would likely become food for dark creatures.
This was not what he wanted to see.
Moreover, if this place became a paradise for dark creatures, it would be a great threat to his Lord Chenxi's domain. So—the Ni Kingdom Realm had great significance in continuing to exist.
He would not move these eight great families.
Of course.
If he chooses to court his own death, then he cannot blame him.
But after witnessing the strength of Lord Chenxi's domain, these great nobles surely would not continue to court death.
Not long after.
After the eight elder clan heads finished their discussion, Clan Head Cecil stepped forward and bowed, saying, "My Lord, Lord Chenxi, we agree to your demands!"
"But we hope you will order the Kingdom of Xine to withdraw its troops. Without an Epic-level powerhouse to hold the line, we are no match for the Kingdom of Xine." Li Yue, a smile on his face, nodded and said, "Naturally."
"Since you agree, from this day forward, the Kingdom of Lilenni shall be a vassal power of my Domain of Chenxi. Any invasion against it will be regarded as an invasion against my Domain of Chenxi." Upon hearing this, Clan Head Cecil and the other seven immediately showed expressions of joy on their faces.
Although the price paid was great.
Yet gaining the protection of the Domain of Chenxi from now on is worth it!
Afterwards.
Li Yue then arranged for Archbishop Mike, who had hurriedly arrived, to meet with the eight clan heads.
