Chapter 1788: Chapter 1018 Ariel Watson’s Hint Chapter 1788: Chapter 1018 Ariel Watson’s Hint Looking at Ellie’s clear eyes filled with worry, Leo Ray simply smiled lightly and comforted, “Don’t worry, I have already started handling the crisis that’s coming.”

“Just like what you said during your coronation, the Slumbering Lion King has awakened. The Lion King’s fangs remain sharp, its claws unabated, and they only become sharper through the trials of blood and fire.”

However, though he spoke thus, Leo Ray was clearly aware in his heart.

The formidable opponents we face this time are incomparable to any adversaries we have ever faced before.

After all, even the Three Great Coldflame Families we faced at Kael Castle only represented half of Coldflame Kingdom’s combat power, and yet, they have already pushed me to the brink of life and death several times.

Once the opponent makes a move this time, they will surely mobilize the entire nation’s power to launch a merciless Battle of Annihilation, aiming to completely obliterate us in our infancy.

Moreover, each opponent’s strength is sufficient to match, or even surpass, our current forces.

In other words, even if opponents from one direction attack, our side will face a pressure more than double that of Kael Castle–this is an unprecedented life-and-death challenge.

What if opponents from two directions, or even three directions, attack simultaneously? The level of danger would increase exponentially.

“Thinking about it, the nerve-racking battle at Kael Castle that nearly cost me my life several times seems trivial compared to the upcoming Battle of Annihilation.”

Despite the weight in his heart, Leo Ray still maintained a composed appearance and laid out his subsequent plans to Ellie.

As the Holy Lion Prince of the Queen of Coldflame City, as the Protector of the Coldflame Kingdom, as Ellie’s Lord, and as Ellie’s man, Leo Ray naturally would not show any anxiety or worry.

“Indeed, worthy of being the Lord,” Ellie responded after hearing Leo Ray’s description, her clear starry eyes gaining a touch of tranquility, as she nodded heavily and said, “During the era of the Ancestral Hero King, the Moon Chaser Clan had a scale of more than ten thousand people; after several centuries of development in Coldflame Kingdom, their population has prospered tremendously.”

“That is why the Half-elves of the Moon Chaser Clan had enough strength to be named as one of the Four Great Families of Coldflame Kingdom alongside , Lancaster, and Yorkman at that time.”

“And for this same reason, the Moon Chaser Clan faced jealousy and covetousness from other nobles, combined with successive kings who believed in slanders and grew suspicious, resulting in their ultimate expulsion from Coldflame Kingdom.”

At this point, Ellie sighed softly.

One should know, the archery of the Half-elves surpasses that of all Human various countries, and their agility and potential in their blood far exceeds that of ordinary Human Soldiers, truly a formidable force.

Most crucially, for Coldflame Kingdom, the Half-elves fought selflessly, always at the forefront in every battle, until a relatively peaceful period arose and the Royal Family undeniably committed an act of killing the donkey once it had done its job.

Ellie had studied the history carefully; in the former territories of the Moon Chaser Clan, not only did the Half-elves not violate the local Human Civilians at all–cooperating in farming and training–but they also left behind all their riches when they departed, even not taking the weapons and equipment issued by the Kingdom.

After investigations, it was found that the wealth and supplies accumulated by the Half-elves were always maintained at minimal levels, with everything else turned over to the Royal Family without any trace of ulterior motives.

“They merely asked for a place of their own to settle in, yet were ruthlessly expelled without mercy.”

Ellie shook her head helplessly, sighing again.

Originally, in Ellie’s ideal vision, she was prepared to welcome the Half-elves back in a peaceful and prosperous era, but now, they once again need to rely on their power.

“Indeed, the Royal Family acted rashly at that time.”

Leo Ray furrowed his brow, but then smiled again, saying, “I believe, as long as we show true sincerity and good faith, they will definitely be willing to fight alongside us again.”

Leo Ray clearly understood, the key to liaising with the Moon Chaser Clan lay with Mia.

Given that her appearance greatly resembles Iris Winters, the former leader of the Moon Chaser Clan, she must be an extraordinary individual.

And considering Mia’s become a mercenary, willing to go to great lengths for money, it is likely that the Moon Chaser Clan must have encountered some difficulties, offering a breakthrough point for negotiations.

“When I find the time, I will make contact with Mia.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly and snapped his fingers lightly.

“I will accompany you as well,”
Ellie nodded heavily and continued, “The second method of Lord is also a very clever idea.”

“As I understand, under the shadow of the Three Major Neutral Organizations, many small and medium-sized neutral organizations survive in the cracks.”

“These small and medium-sized neutral organizations, mostly created by fallen nobility from various countries or by orphans of destroyed nations, have developed over hundreds or even thousands of years, having long severed their affiliations with their original countries.”

“Although the power of each individual organization is somewhat limited, if we can gather a certain number, it would indeed create a significant qualitative transformation, providing a substantial boost to our side!”
