Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 707: Chapter 476: The Unyielding Princess_2

On the other side, Ariel’s long eyelashes flickered, feeling somewhat embarrassed, smiling slightly at Leo Ray.

At this moment, it was evident.

Ariel’s delicate face overflowed with heartfelt gratitude, thus her previous resistance towards Leo Ray had softened considerably.

Noticing this, Leo Ray raised an eyebrow and responded, “Even though we might be able to save all these inhabitants this time, you still can’t really change much about the situation. You should understand this better than I do.”

“What you said is true, what I can do is limited to this,”

Hearing this, Ariel frowned and sighed softly, “But still, it’s better than doing nothing.”

With those words, Ariel once again felt an intense sense of helplessness.

Admittedly, this time’s smooth success was only possible with the help of the annoying man in front of her.

However, if she had more substantial power… perhaps she could do more.

Unfortunately, since multiple assassination attempts and being forced to leave her father’s side and the royal capital, she had surpassed the age of dreaming.

Moreover, the nightmarish experiences had made her realize how the survival-of-the-fittest world was far crueler than she had ever imagined.

Nevertheless, she still had dreams.

She yearned for power, hoping to restore the gradually decaying and corrupt nation she loved to its former peace and tranquility.

She wished for the enemy-burnt windmills to spin again, and for the displaced children to smile once more. However, reality often ran contrary to dreams.

“Even so, I will not give up on my dream!”

At this thought, Ariel clenched her fists tightly, her face resolute.

On the other hand, Leo Ray had seen all this.

The unyielding and determination shown by Princess Cold Flame had greatly exceeded his expectations.

“Now, I’m more and more convinced that my choice was right.”

Muttering to himself quietly, Leo Ray nodded slightly.

Most importantly, judging by the current situation, he was undoubtedly one step closer to successfully winning her over.

“Lord, we are approaching the Coldflame Army’s control zone soon,”

Just then, Serena’s crisp voice reached Leo Ray’s ears, “I have found a few Coldflame Army scout squads in the dense forest ahead.”

“Very good, continue monitoring.”

Nodding slightly, Leo Ray opened the Mind Talk and said, “Once we completely get rid of the Saint Night Army, we’ll proceed according to our previous plan.”

Undoubtedly, since they were preparing to go to the Coldflame Mountain Fortress,

they naturally had to make the necessary preparations before entering.

It was worth mentioning that,

through their investigation and Ariel’s account,

the General of the Coldflame Kingdom stationed in the fortress was none other than Fortress General White, who remained loyal to the old king.

Therefore, the likelihood of him harming Ariel was almost nonexistent.

However, to be cautious, Leo Ray would not reveal all their strength.

Apart from Ariel, Gideon Black, and Scarlett, only Taylor would follow in the shadows with an Invisibility Cloak, while the others – Serena and Stella – would do the same.

It is worth mentioning that, as Leo Ray had previously ordered Red Night to act low-key.Therefore, even Ariel didn’t know that there was another Tier 5 Powerhouse hidden among their team. This was undoubtedly Leo Ray’s most powerful trump card.

As for Linda, Bianca White, Abigail, and Amelia, due to their relatively weaker strength, they were on standby around the fortress to be ready for any emergency.

“Besides, there are two main reasons why I chose to enter the Mountain Fortress.”

At this moment, walking in the forest, Leo Ray cleared the waist-high weeds in front of him with his sword and said, “The first reason is to meet Lord White.”

With a thoughtful nod, Leo Ray continued to ponder, “Currently, thirty thousand Coldflame soldiers are divided into two parts.”

Among them, twenty thousand were conscripted Defense Army from various regions, and the other ten thousand were directly under the command of Kingdom General White, one of the eight legions of the Coldflame Royal Family.”

Thinking of this, Leo Ray looked at Ariel’s slender figure and thought, “Since Lord White is loyal to the old king, and Ariel is the old king’s favorite youngest daughter.”

Therefore, after winning over Ariel, if they could take control of this power, it would undoubtedly greatly increase their own strength, of course, provided that the fortress is not taken by the Saint Night Army.”

It’s worth mentioning that, before this, Leo Ray had asked Burt and Joshua.

At that time, why they didn’t choose to abandon Cyan Town and go directly to the Border Battlefield to seek Lord White’s protection.

The answer they got was that first, Lord White at the border was in a precarious phase and was always at risk of being attacked by opponents both openly and covertly.

Second, if Saint Night knew that Ariel, the fifth princess of Coldflame, was so close, they would probably be targeted by their enemies immediately.

After all, Ariel represented the Coldflame Royal Family, and capturing her alive would undoubtedly deal a huge blow to the morale of the Coldflame Army.

Third, at that time, Ariel had left the Royal Capital under the pretext of diplomatic visits to Cyan Town.

If they went straight to the border region, they would be accused of treason by the other princes, and would never have a chance to turn things around.

“Speaking of which, the second reason for me to personally enter the Mountain Fortress was to get a close look at this large military fortress of the Coldflame Army.”

Leo Ray thought with a slight raise of his eyebrow, “In the near future, as our forces expand, we will inevitably face similar-sized fortresses as obstacles.”

“Therefore, if I can place myself in the shoes of others and take a tour inside, it will undoubtedly play a very important constructive role in my future plans.”

Just as Leo Ray was thinking about this,

On the other side, Serena’s crisp voice came again, “Lord, a scout team of the Coldflame Army has detected our team and is quickly approaching us!”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray smiled faintly and said, “It’s fine. Let them come.”

After speaking, Leo Ray nodded at Ariel, and she nodded slightly at Burt in response.

The next second, the burly Burt’s thoughts moved, and a large triangular flag appeared in front of everyone.

Upon closer inspection, the entire flag was a brilliant gold, with a red shield emblem on it, and in the center of the emblem was a proudly standing golden lion.

Without a doubt, this was the symbol of the Coldflame Royal Family, representing royal authority.

In a short moment, as the rustling sound came from the surrounding bushes, a team of rangers wearing red-patterned leather armor appeared before everyone.

“Who are you, and why are you flying the flag of the Coldflame Royal Family?”

Looking at the fluttering royal flag, the Scout Captain held his bow taut and asked Burt, who was holding the flag, with a frown.

“I am Giant Axe General Burt, and the one beside me is Holy Light General Joshua.”

At this time, Burt replied calmly, “As for why we’re flying the royal flag, don’t you see? It’s because Princess Ariel of Coldflame has arrived!”

“What?! The two Kingdom Generals and Princess Ariel?!”

Upon hearing this, all the scouts were shocked and immediately knelt down, bowing their heads deeply.

“You don’t have to be so courteous, please guide us to the Mountain Fortress. I want to see General White,” Ariel said lightly, with a hint of the arrogance and grace befitting a member of the royal family on her exquisite face.

“But…”

On the other side, the Scout Captain showed a worried expression and hesitated to speak.
