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

Chapter 722: Chapter 483: Planning at the Council Hall _2

“Very well, retrieve the scroll later, and the task of launching the signal will be left to you.”

Nodding at Gideon Black, Leo Ray turned and said to Ariel Watson, “As for our lack of a commander, that’s even easier to solve.”

At this point, Leo Ray’s dark eyes shifted and finally landed on Burt and Joshua, who were standing next to each other, and he said with a slight smile, “Apart from Lord White, we have two other generals in the kingdom who are equally renowned as Lord White here. Would we really lose to the enemy in this respect?”

There was no doubt that both Burt and Joshua had fought in numerous large and small battles, climbing up from the bottom through hard work as kingdom generals.

Many of the battles they commanded were considered classic examples in the Noble Academy and were widely circulated in the Coldflame Army.

As a result, both their reputation in the Coldflame Army and their command abilities were obviously top-notch.

“You are right!”

Hearing this, Ariel Watson’s eyes sparkled, and she joyfully said, “Let’s do as you say, outsmarting them combined with the command of Mr. Bert and Miss. Joshua, striking the Saint Night Army may not be an impossible task!”

“Besides, there’s one more crucial point.”

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Leo Ray continued, “That is, you – the Coldflame Fifth Princess.”

“Me? What do you mean?”

Blinking her starry eyes in confusion, Ariel Watson asked.

“Currently, the morale of the soldiers in the three fortresses is very low, which is a major issue.”

Nodding slightly at Ariel Watson, Leo Ray replied, “Under the circumstances of the impending siege by the Saint Night Army, as long as you, the Coldflame Fifth Princess, are willing to stand up and fight alongside the soldiers, I believe the morale of the Coldflame Army will immediately soar.”

Before this, Leo Ray had already learned that Ariel Watson, as a member of the royal family, enjoyed a high reputation in the Coldflame Kingdom. In addition to her outstanding appearance, her kind and pure heart was a popular topic among the people.

Furthermore, the news of her being forced to leave the royal capital had already spread throughout the military and political circles of Coldflame, causing many people to lament.

In summary, if Ariel Watson could stand up and fight for the fortresses at this time, it would undoubtedly have a significant impact on boosting the morale of the soldiers.

On the other hand, with the princes’ reputation declining day by day,

As long as the fortress was saved, Ariel Watson’s personal reputation would undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.

This would also play a crucial role in the balance of power for controlling Coldflame.

“As to whether this move will attract the attention of the three princes, the answer is, of course, yes.”

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Leo Ray continued to ponder, “Nevertheless, as long as we can make the Saint Night Army retreat, leaving them more time to compete for power, they won’t interfere much. On the contrary, they should thank this ‘foolish sister’.”

On the other side, hearing Leo Ray’s words, Ariel Watson immediately nodded and said without hesitation, “If I can reignite the fighting spirit of the soldiers, I will not hesitate to do so.”

“Very well, now only the last issue remains.”

Nodding in satisfaction, Leo Ray glanced at August Montgomery, who was already lifeless and then frowned at the brawny priest next to him, “Gideon, how many more accomplices does this guy have?”

“My Lord, we’ve already cleared all the forces in the castle,” Gideon replied with a bow to Leo Ray, “There are a few ordinary soldiers in the middle teams outside, who are unaware of the situation and can be easily taken care of.”

“Understood.”

Hearing this, Leo Ray noticed that Taylor, and Scarlett, had already cleaned up the battlefield, gained quite a few spoils of war, and signaled them to keep it safe.

Given the current urgent situation, it was not the time to count the spoils of war.

Immediately afterward, Leo Ray’s mind talk alert rang.

Upon connecting, Stella Clark’s crisp voice came through, “My Lord, my subordinate has found a suspicious dungeon!”

“Tell me the exact location, we’ll head over right away.”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray left behind Scarlett and Gideon Black with a team of Earth Guardians, and after guarding August Montgomery and keeping tabs on various parts of the castle,n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He quickly led Taylor, Scarlett, Ariel Watson, Burt, and Joshua towards the direction described by Stella Clark.

So, in a short time,The six people wearing Invisibility Cloaks were the ones who met up with Stella Clark.

Looking around, it was a stone cottage converted from a fortress, which seemed to be the residence of the castle gardener or a florist.

However, judging from the overgrown weeds surrounding it, it was evident that no one had lived here for some time.

“My Lord, this place is close to the castle but also the most secluded nearby. It seems that August Montgomery has been planning to imprison General White here for a long time,” said the tall and brawny Taylor, bowing to Leo Ray.

“Indeed, let’s go in and take a look.”

After saying this, Leo Ray nodded to the petite and exquisite Stella Clark next to him.

As such, upon walking directly through the doorway, Leo Ray discovered that all the furniture here was gone. Debris and wooden crates were piled up everywhere, and it looked exceptionally chaotic. This was clearly set up just to deceive people, and it was very consistent with what Gideon Black had described earlier.

“My Lord, in this small room.”

Then, Stella Clark’s silver bell voice reached Leo Ray’s ears again: “There was originally a big iron gate in this room, which has been forcibly removed by my subordinate…”

Upon entering the small room, Leo Ray noticed that the lighting was dim, and the room was also filled with debris.

However, there was an open space in the middle that had obviously been moved not long ago.

And there on the ground appeared a square metal door leading to the dungeon.

“Indeed, it’s a very hidden location.”

Ariel Watson walked up with a little urgency, only to find the metal door emitting a brilliant light and exuding an atmosphere as solid as a rock.

“A Tier Third magic restriction? This is not a problem for me.”

Realizing this, Ariel’s expression turned solemn. Several small golden magic arrays appeared around her, illuminating the dark room.

In an instant, accompanied by a familiar sound of shattered glass, the magic flow light on the metal door vanished without a trace.

“As expected of my beloved Fifth Princess, you still have some skills,” said Leo Ray with a faint smile, nodding at Taylor nearby.

With that, the metal door was effortlessly pulled open by Taylor, accompanied by a slightly harsh metal friction sound.

Next, Taylor led the way, followed by the others who descended the earthen staircase.

It wasn’t long before the group of six arrived in a dark and damp cellar.

Under the illumination of the Light Crystal Stone, Leo Ray glanced around and noticed that the area wasn’t very spacious. In the central position, there was a pure black metal cage emitting an eerie atmosphere.

A brawny figure with disheveled hair sat cross-legged in the cage, facing away from the group.

Leo Ray had seen such black metal cages in Cyan Town’s dungeon before, which were not only shock-absorbing and incredibly sturdy but also often used to imprison significant combatants due to their shock-absorbing magic array.

“August Montgomery, give up on this idea of yours. I will never join forces with you,” said an old, firm, and dignified voice from the figure, albeit incredibly weak, indicating that the speaker was badly injured.

“General White, it’s me! I’ve come to save you!” Ariel hurriedly approached and called out.

Hearing this, the brawny figure trembled and abruptly turned around.

Following that, an emaciated and incredulous old face was revealed to everyone: “Your Highness the Princess, how did you end up here?!”
