Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong
Chapter 2015 - 1131: The Sudden Uninvited GuestChapter 2015: Chapter 1131: The Sudden Uninvited Guest
Facing Diana and Old John, Leo Ray listened to the “whispers” from the other side, contemplating silently in his heart.
The other party’s intent couldn’t be clearer. Even though he had managed to give a satisfactory answer to their probing, ultimately, they still had to leverage the Temple of Light to sell him another favor.
After all, the other side was taking the immense risk of “offending” the Temple of Light to maintain neutrality, without launching an attack, which spoke volumes.
“A neutral organization that has stood tall in the human countries for over three thousand years is indeed extremely cunning. While appearing to do me a personal favor, they are probably also secretly supporting the Temple of Light, yet finding excuses to only talk without taking action.”
“By playing both sides in this way, no matter who ends up victorious, the Mercenary Guild won’t find itself too passive.”
While thinking this, Leo Ray feigned an oblivious look, as if he hadn’t heard the “whispers” at all.
Opposite Leo Ray, seeing that he was unmoved, Diana redirected her gaze, shrugged, and said, “Your Royal Highness the Holy Lion, since we’ve already spoken openly, I’ll not disturb Your Highness any further.”
Having said that, Diana in her purple dress stood up, looking as if she was about to take her leave.
“Vice President, you are too kind. Once everything is settled, I will definitely host a grand banquet to thank you and the Mercenary Guild; perhaps our future cooperation can become even deeper.”
Leo Ray also stood up, smiling politely, “I’m sure the Vice President is aware, I have a modest knack for obtaining surprising equipment and magic medicines, often in considerable quantities.”
“Hehe, then I look forward to cooperating with Your Royal Highness the Holy Lion, provided the Coldflame Kingdom can smoothly pass through this crisis.”
Diana lightly raised her eyebrows, her fair face becoming serious again, and said solemnly, “Lastly, let me remind Your Highness one more time, the foundation of the Temple of Light is by no means comparable to the grim Kingdom.”
“Although Your Highness nearly wiped out Grim Kingdom’s million-strong army last night and summoned past kings and strongmen, seemingly having the upper hand, the real challenge has just begun.”
“I wouldn’t want to see our rare, millennia-client of the Mercenary Guild encounter any mishaps.”
With that, Diana smiled and then gracefully stepped out of the royal meeting hall.
Behind Diana, the other mercenaries, including Durant, politely bid farewell to Leo Ray and the others.
Especially Durant, whose respectful demeanor was clear evidence that he was no longer as antagonistic as before.
After sending off the representatives of the mercenaries at Lion Castle, Leo Ray stood before the majestic gate of the castle, first instructing the others, including Taylor and Randall, to continue seeing off the guests, before finally exhaling a long breath.
“Phew, is it just the Alchemist Guild left?”
Bathed in the moonlight, Leo Ray took in the lingering scent of blood in the air, pondering silently.
Once he settles the last of these three major neutral organizations, he can fully focus on dealing with the Temple of Light.
“Since gaining control of the Coldflame Kingdom, I’ve established cooperation with all the Alchemist branches in Coldflame Kingdom, while in The Deep Green Kingdom where Eckhart resides, although there are relatively fewer Alchemist Guilds, discussions are also proceeding intensively.”
Leo Ray’s gaze wandered over the rows of royal guards, thoughtfully nodding.
“Thanks to these continuous supplies from the Alchemist Guilds, I’ve been able to secure large amounts of magic medicine, minimizing casualties in every battle.”
“And every member of the opposing guilds has also received the large amounts of heavenly treasures they’ve longed for, reveling in it, even being grateful to me.”
“With such close collaboration, persuading the Alchemist Guild to remain neutral should be easier, right?”
Just as Leo Ray thought of this, the hurried voice of mind talk suddenly rang out.
After connecting, Tran’s tense voice immediately came through: “Reporting to the Lord, there are over a dozen red dragons obscuring the sky, flying rapidly towards the Royal Capital!”
“What?”
Upon hearing this unexpected news, Leo Ray’s brows immediately furrowed.
After last night’s battle, to further strengthen the city’s defenses, the City Lord of Firsdale City was reassigned to the position of Royal Capital Warden by him, passing his previous duties to Xenia Blackwood to instead oversee the outer defense of Lion City and personnel movement.
Since it was he who sent the report, it undoubtedly means the other party is already very close to the Royal Capital!
“Tran, are you sure you didn’t see wrong?”
Startled, Leo Ray moved to a quiet place and quickly asked.
“Lord, you know the situation beneath my family’s castle. Others can be mistaken, but I absolutely cannot!”
Tran’s voice grew even more urgent, responding, “I’m standing on the city wall. They’re getting closer and closer!”
As Tran’s voice fell, Asher Porter’s face changed abruptly after just ending magic communication, quickly coming over to stand by, having also received this sudden news.
“Understood, no need to sound the city’s alarm, just order the soldiers to be on high alert. I’ll be there soon.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly, his brow furrowed in deep thought.
“At your command, Lord, given that three red dragons have come once before, the purpose of these red dragons coming to the Royal Capital is probably…”
Tran didn’t finish his sentence, stopping in time, but the implication was already clear.
“I understand what you mean. This matter must be kept quiet. I have my strategies to deal with it.”
With that, Leo Ray closed the mind talk.
The purpose Tran referred to was naturally the fact that Red Night had to be confined beneath Firsdale City to escape pursuit from its kin.
“Since the Stargazing Corridor Battle, I’ve had to repeatedly have Red Night assume a dragon form, inevitably drawing the attention of other red dragons. And it happens at this critical point.”
Leo Ray’s brow twisted into a knot, just in time to see Red Night’s slender and graceful figure speeding towards him.
“My Lord.”
As she drew near, Red Night’s fair face was filled with solemnity and seriousness, evidently also sensing the approach of many kin.
“I know everything, leave it all to me. I will fulfill my promise.”
Leo Ray nodded to Red Night, leaving everything unsaid.
As long as he remains standing here, naturally, no one can harm his subordinates in the slightest.
With that, Leo Ray reopened the mind talk, beginning to make intense arrangements.
