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

Chapter 748: Chapter 495: Brief Calm Before the Fortress_2

Gazing down at the fortress below, where the retreating soldiers of the Saint Night Army had been regrouped, Leo Ray squinted his eyes.

“Your Excellency Mr. Lane is right. I will immediately inform Burt and the other two fortresses to stay vigilant, be ready to deal with the enemy’s unknown schemes at all times,” Lord White said, nodding to Leo Ray, bowing slightly to Ariel Watson, and then turning to call a few Coldflame commanders on standby before quickly leaving.

“Sir, what should we do now?”

A rough voice sounded as Taylor stepped forward and bowed slightly to Leo Ray.

“As I just said, our top priority now is to figure out the whereabouts of the enemy’s disappearing legion as soon as possible,” Leo Ray pondered for a moment before responding, “As for the last step of our countermeasure, it’s not the right time yet. After all, under the current situation where we haven’t fully grasped the situation, it is obviously not a wise choice to split our forces to attack the enemy’s rear.”

Next, Leo Ray opened the mind talk, connected to his surrounding subordinates one by one, and then quietly arranged, “Taylor, you, Gideon Black, Scarlett, and Linda, along with Serena Clark, Stella Clark, Bianca White, Abigail, and Amelia, will continue to track the traces of the disappearing legion.”

“Although we have no clue at the moment, it can be imagined that the enemy’s target must be one of these three fortresses,” Leo Ray said, nodding his head and adding, “So, you nine will split into three teams and focus on investigating the areas around the three fortresses. As for Saint Night, she will stay by my side to follow my orders.”

“Yes, sir!”

Hearing this, Taylor and the other subordinates bowed in unison, their figures flashed and disappeared on the spot, while the other end of the mind talk also received neat responses.

With everything arranged, Leo Ray looked up from the towering fortress, his black eyes falling upon the bright twin moons in the night sky, and his brows furrowed once more.

At the moment, the enemy’s elite long-range forces had been defeated, completely losing their firepower advantage over their own side.

Yet, under these circumstances, the enemy still chose not to retreat.

From this, it was clear that the enemy was extremely confident in the cards they had up their sleeve.

“That hidden legion wouldn’t just drop from the sky, would it?” Leo Ray thought to himself with a slight sneer, “Moreover, the enemy’s trump card must not be just one. So, how will they act?”

“The battlefield is so quiet now, like the brief calm before a storm,” Ariel Watson, dressed in her uniform, approached and asked Leo Ray, “What kind of tricks do you think the Saint Night Army will use next?”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

At this moment, an indescribable meaning was added to Ariel Watson’s gaze as she looked at Leo Ray.

Only after the excitement of repelling the Saint Night Army had passed did she realize clearly.

The composed young man before her had once again saved countless Coldflame citizens and the Royal Family soldiers on the walls, protecting them from the ravages of war with his every move.

Otherwise, under the fierce attacks of the enemy’s two long-range legions just now, this mountain fortress would have been shaken to its core once again.

Such actions could even be called heroic for Coldflame.

What was most critical was that the opponent was just a visitor from another world who had done many things that the members of the Coldflame Royal Family and aristocratic families, who should have taken on the responsibility of protecting the Coldflame, could not do…

This made Ariel Watson, also a member of the Coldflame Royal Family, feel ashamed.

Although Ariel Watson was unwilling to admit the dereliction of her ailing father and her three royal brothers, Leo Ray’s actions had indeed shocked and moved her.

“As for the tricks, I can’t predict them, but the enemy’s target is still these three fortresses,” Leo Ray replied, slowly shifting his gaze back. “Moreover, the defenses of this mountain fortress are the most complete, so it’s obvious.””So you think their next target might be the other two small fortresses on the hillside?”

Hearing that, Ariel Watson collected herself, a look of sudden realization on her delicate face, and said, “Although those two small fortresses have the same number of soldiers as here, they are temporarily organized from the defense units from different places, so the combat power is much weaker.”

Also, the number of Magic Cannons is minimal, and with the city wall less than ten meters high, it does make it easier for the enemy to breach.”

Ariel’s eyes brightened, and she continued, “However, the biggest advantage of those two small fortresses lies in their terrain, which to a certain extent, makes up for these disadvantages.”

“That’s correct. If the enemy truly chooses to attack those two small fortresses, there must be countermeasures, and we should not take them lightly.”

Nodding slightly, Leo Ray’s gaze traveled into the distance, finally landing on one of the small fortresses on the hillside, and responded.

Without a doubt, the reason why this mountain fortress was able to stop the Eighty Thousand Sacred Night Army’s advance was because of the other two small fortresses on both sides. They formed a mutually supportive position, cooperating, and restraining the enemy’s forces.

If one of the fortresses is captured by the enemy, it would be like losing an arm, and the defense ability of the mountain fortress would also decline drastically.

Thus, neither the mountain fortress itself nor the two small fortresses beside it can afford any loss.

“What countermeasures? They have to crawl up bit by bit. How else can the enemy come, from the sky?”

Following Leo Ray’s line of sight, Ariel also looked at the small fortress and pondered.

At present, the small fortress they were looking at was on their left hand, built beside a dense forest.

The one to the right was surrounded by a vast open space, seeming even more defensible and harder to attack.

Upon hearing the same idea that he had just thought of from Ariel’s mouth, Leo Ray couldn’t help but laugh, and then said, “Let’s just wait and see.”

Pausing for a moment, Leo Ray continued, “Now it’s not far away from dawn, and daylight would further reduce the enemy’s advantage. So I believe the enemy will soon start some action.”

As expected, just as Leo Ray’s words fell,

The two Holy Night Legions previously guarding the small fortresses at the foot of the mountain began to move, slowly closing the distance to the two aforementioned small fortresses.

Additionally, the two other legions who had been staying behind simultaneously launched a massive offensive toward the mountain fortress.

“What is going on?!”

Seeing the Sacred Night Army advancing from all three directions, Ariel’s fair complexion showed a hint of confusion, and exclaimed, “Could it be that the enemy is planning to attack our three fortresses simultaneously?!”

“That’s impossible.”

Leo Ray waved his hand slightly, indicating Ariel not to worry, and replied, “If my guess is correct, the enemy’s primary attacking direction is actually just one of the three fortresses, while the other two serve merely as a distraction to tie up our forces.”

After speaking, Leo Ray squinted his eyes, gazing at the four Holy Night Legions that were in full swing below the fortress, then said, “It seems the opponent’s trump card is ready.”

“Which one are they going to attack? The forest-side fortress on our left hand, the open area fortress on our right hand, or this mountain fortress?!”

Hearing this, Ariel Watson couldn’t help but swallow hard and murmured to herself, “And where will their disappearing legion appear?!”

Not long after Ariel finished speaking, the two opposing legions that had bypassed the depression in front of the mountain fortress and the other two opposing legions that had just climbed halfway up the mountain had already arrived and began to line up for battle.

“It seems the answer will be revealed soon.”

At this moment, Leo Ray took a deep breath of the air filled with a thick scent of blood and killing intent and slowly said.
