Chapter 715: Chapter 480: The Killing Intent Emerges in the Conference Hall_1

“Then I’ll follow your arrangement.”

With a thoughtful nod, Ariel Watson furrowed her brows for a moment, then turned to Leo Ray for confirmation: “Are you sure you want to leave this Tier 5 Powerhouse by my side?”

“Absolutely.”

Gazing at the delicate expression on Ariel’s face, which showed a hint of emotion that had never been there before, Leo Ray smiled faintly: “What? Are you worried about me, dear Fifth Princess?”

“No way, don’t flatter yourself.”

Feeling a bit flustered, Ariel waved her hand hurriedly and said, “I’m just worried about having fewer strong helpers!”

After speaking, Ariel muttered softly, “After all, I feel more at ease with you by my side.”

“All right, let’s get back to the topic. As I said earlier, they will definitely try to divide the six of us into three groups under the pretext of reporting on the battle situation and then break them one by one.”

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Leo Ray continued speaking to Ariel: “Since we are mercenaries in name, they won’t say much to us. Therefore, the task of getting useful information from them will be up to you.”

“Don’t worry, I know what to do.”

Hearing this, Ariel nodded her head, her face solemn, “As a Coldflame Kingdom general who colluded with the Saint Night Army and attempted to subvert this fortress, I will never let that person go, whoever the mastermind behind the scenes is!”

Upon hearing this, Burt and Joshua, who were standing nearby, also nodded their heads solemnly.

One could imagine that if the fortress were to be captured by the Saint Night Army with the least cost under the condition of inside and outside collusion, the cities behind the fortress would suffer greatly, and Lord’s control over the entire Coldflame Eastern Region’s layout would be severely affected.

Because of this, today, no matter what, they had to thoroughly wipe out the dangerous undercurrent lurking in the fortress!

“Fine, let’s see how the lovely Fifth Princess performs.”

On hearing this, Leo Ray nodded at Taylor while putting the teaware on the table back into his Space Bracelet.

On the other side, Taylor, realizing the signal, immediately put on his cloak and vanished from everyone’s sight.

At the same time, the powerful aura attached to the walls of the reception room quietly dissipated.

In no time, the door of the meeting room was pushed open again, and August Montgomery, along with several Coldflame Army commanders, walked in.

“Greetings, Your Highness the Princess.”

After bowing to Ariel Watson, August Montgomery still had that smiley expression on his face and said, “Everything is ready for the report on the military situation. Please, Your Highness and the two Kingdom Generals, follow me to the Conference Hall in the castle.”

At this point, August Montgomery glanced at Leo Ray and the others and added, “As for these three mercenary friends, please wait for a moment. After all, the next task involves the core secrets of our Coldflame Kingdom.”

“I understand.”

Seeing everything going as expected, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows slightly and then sat back down with Gideon Black and Scarlett by his side.

“You may lead the way.”

On the other side, Ariel Watson gave a slight nod, her expression calm.

There was no doubt that with Leo Ray’s analysis and Taylor, a Tier 5 powerhouse by her side, the Fifth Princess of Coldflame felt confident.

Of course, in August Montgomery’s eyes, this arrogant princess had always been the same.

However, what he didn’t know was that, before, Ariel’s attitude was due to ignorance, while now, it was because of fearlessness.

Next, after taking a glance at the equally calm and collected Leo Ray, Ariel, accompanied by Burt and Joshua, followed August Montgomery and the others out of the reception room.

At this moment, as Ariel walked along the spacious castle corridor, her expression turned somewhat puzzled again.

That annoying fellow from the Otherworld actually deployed his strongest weapon, capable of securing a nation’s safety, by her side. It was simply incomprehensible.

“However, on second thought, since my father fell seriously ill, it is the first time someone has cared so much about my safety…”

Thinking of this, Ariel quickly shook her head secretly and murmured in her heart, “No, he must have ulterior motives; otherwise, he wouldn’t have made such a move!”

Realizing this, Ariel furrowed her brows for a moment before relaxing them again.

She sighed softly, then thought to herself, “But, though I don’t want to admit it, I am just a down-and-out princess without power or influence now. There’s nothing on me that could possibly catch his eye with his formidable influence.”

At this moment, recalling the Tier 5 Nation-Guarding Divine Weapons worn by Taylor, Serena Clark, Stella Clark, Scarlett, as well as Leo Ray himself, Ariel couldn’t help swallowing her saliva.

Undoubtedly, on this point alone, this baffling Otherworldly Lord was unfathomable.

After all, even in the whole Coldflame Royal Family, there were only two Tier 5 Divine Weapons: the sword of the Ancestral Hero King, and Commander Perry of the Earth Dragon Knights’ lance from the same era as the Ancestor!

“Since the end of the Ancestral Hero King’s era, there have been no Tier 5 Forging Masters born in Coldflame Kingdom and neighboring Saint Night Kingdom.”

“Without anyone capable of forging, this is the main reason why Tier 5 Divine Weapons are scarce, aside from the extremely rare raw materials and limited forging success rate.”
