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

Chapter 830: Chapter 536: Light in Princess’s Eyes_1

Noticing the change in Leo’s tone, Lord White nodded and said, “Please speak, Mr. Lane.”

“Never become enemies with Princess Ariel and me.”

With a faint smile, Leo’s expression turned calm again, and he said, “Of course, this third point is more of a suggestion than a condition.”

Hearing the warning in Leo’s words, Lord White nodded again slowly.

Then he responded, “Please rest assured, Mr. Lane, my family has been loyal to the Coldflame Monarch for generations, never getting involved in power struggles. I am willing to guarantee this with my personal and family honor!”

Pausing for a moment, Lord White added, “The help Mr. Lane and Princess Ariel provided this time not only saved my life and preserved my honor from being trampled upon by August Montgomery.”

Moreover, you also saved the thirty thousand Coldflame soldiers in the three fortresses and countless Coldflame citizens living in the villages behind the fortress. I am eternally grateful for your kindness!”

After finishing speaking, Lord White solemnly knelt on one knee and bowed to Leo and Ariel in turn.

At this moment, full of gratitude, Lord White clearly understood.

Although there are forces of the Great Prince’s faction in the rear of the Mountain Fortress.”

However, these formidable forces are, in fact, the vanguard forces that ignored the summoning order and formed a second line of defense around Pinehaven City instead.

With this, the answer is self-evident.

The Great Prince’s faction obviously intended to use veteran General White and the thirty thousand Coldflame Guardians in the three fortresses as cannon fodder to weaken the Saint Night Army as much as possible.

If they could hold their ground, that would be best; if not, they would use Pinehaven City as their second line of defense to defeat the already weakened Saint Night Army.

In this way, not only could they minimize their own military losses.

Moreover, they could also gain the reputation of repelling the Saint Night Army, undoubtedly accomplishing two goals in one move.

In addition, in order to build the second line of defense, the Great Prince’s faction had conscripted farmers from nearby villages to build fortifications.

Yet they did not provide any protective measures for the remote villages outside these cities.

Thus, it is clear that once the Mountain Fortress defenses are breached, these remote villages would be the first targets to be looted and destroyed.

Meanwhile, the Great Prince’s faction can maximize their troop preparations to meet the enemy during this time…

Thinking of this, the sighing Lord White, who was helped up by Leo, sighed again.

Such an approach is clearly inferior compared to what Mr. Lane has done in front of them.

“Mr. Lane, Princess Ariel, I’ve seen what both of you have done. The forces behind some people in the fortress are simply incomparable to the two of you!”

Once he was helped up, Lord White nodded solemnly again.

On the other side, hearing Lord White’s words, Leo raised his eyebrows slightly.

Regarding the Great Prince’s actions, after combining the information provided by Asher earlier, Leo had already guessed most of the details.

However, Leo didn’t look down on the Great Prince’s strategy to weaken the Saint Night Army. If he were in the Great Prince’s shoes, he might not have made a different choice.

After all, Leo is well aware that in this world where power reigns supreme, there is no such thing as righteousness. The only choice is what to sacrifice in order to achieve victory.

Since he can accomplish both fame and benefit, why choose this low-level method?

With these thoughts in mind, Leo smiled faintly and then responded, “All right, General White, now that you’ve agreed to the three conditions, let’s get started.”

“Understood, Mr. Lane, Princess Ariel, please follow me.”

Nodding to Leo and Ariel, Lord White, accompanied by the crisp sound of armor clashing, took the lead and advanced to the front of the team.

Next, they went directly to the city wall in front of the Mountain Fortress.

After carefully inspecting the troops and subordinates, Leo confirmed that there were no losses to any of the 200 Tier 2 Fire Magic Cannons thanks to the Absolute Defense Barrier’s powerful effect.

Satisfied, Leo withdrew 160 of them and took all ten of the unupgraded Tier 1 Magic Cannons and ten unupgraded Tier 2 Magic Cannons provided by Lord White into his possession.

In this process, Lord White also ordered his confidants to bring the battle spoils: Tier 3 and above equipment.

Upon inventory, there were a total of 10 Tier 3 Longswords, 5 Tier 3 Shields, 5 Tier 3 Magic Staffs, 3 Tier 3 Longbows, 3 Tier 3 Greatswords, 2 Tier 3 Battle Axes, 1 Tier 3 Long Spear, as well as 2 sets each of Tier 3 Magic Robes, Tier 3 Leather Armor, and Tier 3 Light Armor.

Additionally, there was 1 Tier 4 Magic Staff, 1 Tier 4 Longbow, 1 Tier 4 Battle Axe, 1 Tier 4 Greatsword, and 1 Tier 4 Longsword.

It goes without saying that armor tends to be damaged more severely on the battlefield than weapons.

After completing the inventory, Leo generously swept all 35 Tier 3 equipment and 5 Tier 4 equipment into his Space Bracelet without hesitation.

Seeing this, there was no change in Lord White’s expression.

It should be known that the cost of a single Tier 2 Magic Cannon is more than a million Gold Dragons, significantly higher in value than a Tier 4 weapon.
