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

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Leo Ray continued to ponder, “And now, my strength has not only reached the Tier 3 Peak Level, but the number of subordinates around me has also greatly increased.”

Thinking of this, Leo Ray squinted his eyes, holding tightly to the thick, soft white fur around the neck of the giant wolf beneath him while looking to his left and right.

At this moment, not only were Taylor and two Tier 5 Powerhouses present around him.

In addition, with the inclusion of the two Kingdom Generals, there were six Tier 4  Powerhouses, and the rest were at the Tier 3 Peak Level.

“Now that I think about it, everything on the battlefield at that time was pretty thrilling.”

At this moment, Leo Ray couldn’t help but sigh and muttered to himself in his heart, “By the way, I wonder how Baron Yeste of the Saint Night Army, along with Alexander Montgomery and are doing lately? This time, I’m on their opposing side since the Coldflame Army is at a disadvantage.”

“If I run into them again, they can only blame their bad luck.” Leo Ray faintly smirked and smiled lightly.

“My Lord, we are almost at our destination.”

At this moment, Taylor’s rough voice came through the ongoing Mind Talk, asking, “What should we do next?”

“Same as usual, let’s find an open place with a good view, gather and observe the current situation of both sides.”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray didn’t hesitate and responded immediately.

So, after a short while.

Their party, chasing the wind and pursuing the lightning, stopped together atop a towering mountain peak.

Easily dismounting from his wolf, Leo Ray first stretched and warmed up his body that had become slightly stiff from riding, then turned to the female knight beside him and said, “Linda, tell me about the latest battle report you’ve learned.”

“My Lord… City Lord, here’s the situation.”

Seeing Ariel Watson approaching, Linda composed herself and then replied, “After the Coldflame Army’s initial victories turned into defeats, the Saint Night Army wanted to pursue and attack, but was stopped by the Mountain Fortress of the Coldflame Army…”

Next, through Linda’s description.

Leo Ray also revisited the situation after their side, the last straw, had assisted the Saint Night Army in crushing the Coldflame Army, and had withdrawn from the battlefield successfully.

At that time, when they returned to their territory,

The completely defeated Coldflame Army had retreated to the border town of Coldflame, the Mountain Fortress.

This fortress, built against a mountain, had a geographical location very similar to Dragon’s Lair at the foot of the Hundred Ranges – both were situated at the entrance between two mountain peaks.

However, compared to the flat terrain of Dragon’s Lair,

The surroundings of the Mountain Fortress were significantly more perilous, making it extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

And not far from the left and right sides of the Mountain Fortress were two other small fortresses built on the hillside. They formed a triangle with each other.

Once one fortress was attacked by the enemy, the other two would provide support from different directions, making the difficulty of attacking the city even higher.

“At that time, the Saint Night Army took advantage of their high morale from their victory, and launched a fierce feint attack on one of the small fortresses, intending to engage in a classic siege.”

Linda tucked a strand of loose hair behind her ear and continued, “However, the other two fortresses, including the Mountain Fortress, kept their doors closed and did not take the bait.”

“In the end, the Saint Night Army reluctantly withdrew after a fruitless day and night of siege.”

“It was the best choice to withdraw with the fruits of victory,” Leo Ray said with a faint smile. “If this goes on and the Coldflame Army in the other two fortresses recovers its vitality while waiting for an opportunity, the outcome of the battle may once again become uncertain.”

“City Lord, your words are absolutely right.”

On the other side, Linda nodded and continued, “After that, both sides enjoyed a period of peace, and the number of Powerhouses in the border area on both sides was also constantly being replenished…”Through Linda’s description, Leo Ray learned the following.

In the time that followed, the number of soldiers in the border area of both sides quickly reached the scale of the war, almost thirty thousand on each side.

However, the reinforcements from Saint Night’s side continued to increase significantly, reaching a scale of eighty thousand.

The number of powerhouses above Tier 3 among them was naturally much higher than that of the Coldflame side.

“As a result, the Coldflame Army, inferior in both size and number of powerhouses compared to Saint Night, retreated back to the center of the three fortresses centered on the Mountain Fortress, not going out no matter how Saint Night harassed, until now,”

Linda’s vigorous but slightly weak words entered Leo Ray’s ears.

“Originally, our side’s reinforcements should have arrived quickly.”

On the other hand, Ariel Watson’s fair face began to darken, biting her red lips, and said, “According to the law, in the face of a major crisis in the kingdom, every noble city lord under the protection of the royal family has the obligation to send troops to reinforce!”

“The premise is under the protection of the royal family,”

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Leo Ray looked straight into Ariel Watson’s eyes and said, “Now, the royal capital of Coldflame has already been thrown into chaos, and there is no leisure time to focus on this matter.”

“City Lord is right, I heard that the emergency conscription order in various places has been issued long ago.”

Nodding to Leo Ray, Linda added, “However, the cities near the border in the Coldflame Eastern Region have already been conscripted, some even twice.”

When it came to the other cities in more distant regions, they all responded in various ways, holding back their troops and maintaining a dismissive attitude…”

“As a result, in the midst of mutual comparison, combined with the power struggle for the throne, the majesty and deterrence of the royal family have declined significantly, which I think is the main reason for the current crisis.”

On the other side, the burly Burt couldn’t help but let out a heavy sigh and shook his head helplessly.

“If the situation continues to develop like this, I’m afraid things will only get worse.”

Joshua, on the side, also expressed his concern on his delicate face and added.

“The cities of Coldflame right now are like scattered sand. If these thirty thousand soldiers are devoured by the enemy, I’m afraid the Saint Night Army, which is advancing deep into the territory, will soon break through the other cities one by one.”

Looking at Ariel Watson’s somewhat pale face, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows and continued, “At that time, not to mention just the Coldflame Eastern Region, the entire Coldflame Kingdom would be on the verge of collapse.”

“Impossible!”

Hearing this, Ariel Watson rallied her spirits, clenched her fists, and said, “The main commander here is one of my father’s most valued commanders.”

He is also one of the top three fortress generals in the Eight Great Kingdom Generals, General White, who has never had the city he is stationed in be conquered by the enemy!”

“Princess, what you said is true, but as the saying goes, even the cleverest housewife can’t cook without rice. In the face of a large gap in both the number of soldiers and powerhouses, we should make plans as soon as possible.”

Immediately after, under Leo Ray’s subtle hint, Joshua nodded slightly and continued with a frown.

“Joshua is right, Princess, we know General White’s strength the best, but times have changed…”

On the other side, Burt’s old face was full of solemnity, and he echoed the sentiment.

Seeing this, Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction.

Without a doubt, Leo Ray did this to prepare to win over Ariel Watson.

Only by making this Coldflame Princess, who grew up in the royal greenhouse, thoroughly realize the seriousness of the situation, can she grow quickly and firmly determine her future resolve to rise up in arms.

Otherwise, a weak princess, even if she is supported and placed on the queen’s throne, will naturally not be able to govern a kingdom well.

However, at this point.

Thick black smoke suddenly floated up from the foot of the mountain.
