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

Chapter 785: Chapter 513: Ariel Watson’s Loyalty_2

First, just like this border fortress defense battle, seize the opportunity to continuously expand Ariel’s reputation, influence, and appeal, laying a solid foundation for unifying Coldflame.

Second, it is natural to use Ariel’s identity as the Fifth Princess to attract more neutral city lords and other forces to join their camp, in order to rapidly expand their power.

“At this stage, both of these points must be carried out relatively quietly, endeavoring to do so to the smallest extent possible without drawing the attention of the three princes in the royal capital,”

Leo Ray slightly nodded his head and continued to ponder: “Of course, in this process, I must also constantly pay attention to the movements of the mysterious organization, try to learn more about this organization, and look for all clues related to the Blank Era three thousand years ago and the great catastrophe.”

“In short, as my footsteps keep moving forward and my strength gradually grows, it’s hard not to be curious about what interesting and unimaginable things will happen in the future, as the unknown will be gradually unveiled,”

Thinking of this, Leo Ray pulled his thoughts back to reality and then said to Ariel in front of him: “Alright, dear Fifth Princess, let’s go back to our territory first.”

“My …my Lord, just call me Ariel, please.”

Ariel quickly waved her hand and spoke with her head lowered.

From her intermittent words, it was evident that she was still not quite used to her new name for Leo Ray.

Then, Ariel seemed to have remembered something, her spirits lifted, and she asked doubtfully, “My Lord, isn’t our goal to find suitable powerful mercenary candidates?”

“That’s right, so we need to go back to our territory first.”

With a faint smile, Leo Ray paced forward and nodded to his other subordinates.

As for why Leo Ray wanted to return to his territory, the answer was simple.

The suitable powerful mercenaries in Leo Ray’s mind were the three Tier 4 magic system elders and other Tier 3 peak-level elite mages who had been employed by Lord Asher Porter of Viennas City and had encountered the mysterious organization at the auction.

“I remember Kelsey once mentioned that the organization these mercenaries belong to is called Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps, which is quite famous in Coldflame.”

“And during the battle with the mysterious organization led by No.7 Black-robed Person, although they were absolutely suppressed in terms of strength, they still did not shy away from the battle, which proves their professionalism.”

“The most critical point is that these three Tier 4 powerhouses are earth, water, and fire system Great Mages, especially good at changing terrain, they can play a considerable role on the battlefield, so it’s worth my time to make friends with them.”

At this moment, Leo Ray thought so while walking towards the exit of the conference hall surrounded by his subordinates: “The fastest way to get to Viennas City is to use a teleportation crystal to instantly teleport to Quinn Serena of Pine Sound Range first, then to Viennas City.”

“I just sent a private message to Quinn Serena, she’s currently exploring outside and it will take her half an hour to get back, so during this time, I’ll simply take Ariel and the others back to the territory first, and change their equipment.”

“And besides, I’m quite curious about their trump cards, especially Ariel’s.”

Thinking of this, Leo Ray, who was now at the entrance of the hall, put on his invisibility cloak and turned to Ariel and said, “All right, let’s get going.”

Next, apart from Linda who was in charge of Cyan Town,

Leo Ray’s group of ten, as well as Ariel, Burt, and Joshua, all put on their invisibility cloaks and dashed towards the direction of their territory in the forest.

In no time, the party of thirteen who entered the Demonic Shadow Forest finally stopped in a dense forest.

Looking around at the lush trees, Ariel’s delicate face was full of confusion, and she asked Leo Ray, “My Lord, where exactly is our territory?”

On the other side, Burt and Joshua, who were also visiting the territory for the first time, had equally baffled expressions on their faces.

“Follow me, and you’ll see.”

Having said that, Leo Ray smiled lightly and took another step forward.

The next second, under the gaze of Ariel, Burt, and Joshua, Leo Ray instantly disappeared into the air.

“Is this an illusion? I can’t feel any abnormal aura at all…”

Seeing this, the astonished Ariel, Burt, and Joshua looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

Following Leo Ray’s footsteps, just as the three were about to collide with a row of verdant towering trees,

Everything in front of them suddenly became clear.At this moment, what appeared before them was no longer a vast, dense forest.

It was a large fortress that seemed utterly impregnable!

At first glance, numerous figures exuding impressive auras were scattered around the perimeter of the fortress, busily digging trenches.

And on the towering city walls, rows of elite soldiers clad in various types of armor stood tall.

Among them were crossbowmen in armor, carrying large shields, and burly warriors wielding long spears.

Even the sharp-eyed Ariel Watson spotted a group of handsome half-elves wearing leather armor and carrying short bows, patrolling the city walls in the distance.

“Is this the Lord’s territory? I didn’t expect that even half-elves, who are extremely despised by humans, could be brought under his command, not to mention the Snow Wolf Clan…”

As she marveled, Ariel’s gaze passed over the towering walls and continued to observe.

In the center of this large fortress stood a simple castle of considerable size.

Although the exterior was plain, it gave an unshakeable sense of solemnity, making people feel awe-stricken.

On the other side was a bright lighthouse-shaped building.

Under the radiant sunlight, the surface of the tower emitted a faint yellow pattern, making it incredibly eye-catching.

“It’s actually a Miracle Building?!”

Realizing this, Ariel’s eyes widened with disbelief.

As for Burt and Joshua standing beside her, their eyes were also unfocused, revealing their astonishment.

It should be known that Miracle Buildings and national-level Tier 5 Powerhouses were both symbols of royal power!

Without a doubt, what the three of them saw was the Lord’s Mansion at the center of the territory and the tallest building in the territory: the Illusory Vision Tower.

“Let’s keep moving.”

Leo Ray smiled faintly and took another step forward.

Next, accompanied by respectful greetings from the surrounding subordinates, Leo Ray led Ariel and the others past the small city gate on the western side of the territory and entered the interior.

“What are those two buildings next to the tower…?!”

It was only now that Ariel exclaimed in surprise.

As it turned out, there were not just one, but three Miracle Buildings within the territory!

It was important to note that even her Coldflame Royal Family only had one Miracle Building passed down from the Era of the Hero King.

This Miracle Building was guarded not only by the strongest royal guards besides the king’s personal guards.

Moreover, only the select aristocratic families were allowed to visit the periphery during major festivals and celebrations.

Even she, the beloved Princess Cold Flame, was only allowed to visit once a year, on her birthday, one could imagine its significance.

“Being able to establish such a jaw-dropping domain within this dense forest, Lord is indeed unfathomable…”

At this moment, as Ariel stared at the three Miracle Buildings standing tall in the northern part of the territory, her eyes widened with disbelief, almost turning to stone on the spot.

On the other hand, Burt and Joshua’s eyes were about to pop out as their mouths opened wide in amazement, losing all the dignity of kingdom generals in high positions.

“All right, we’ll have plenty of time to look at these things later. And I believe that sooner or later, the number of Miracle Buildings will continue to increase.”

Gazing at the dumbfounded trio, Leo Ray smiled faintly and said, “Next, we should discuss the matter of changing our equipment.”
