Chapter 720: Chapter 482: The Battle in the Conference Hall_2

After speaking, looking at the delicate face of Ariel, who was suddenly filled with ecstasy, and August, who had a gloomy face and seemed ready to burst at any moment, Leo Ray didn’t hesitate and waved his hand, saying indifferently, “Enough, let’s end this farce.”

“Kill them for me…” The next second, just as August, who knew the situation was bad, was preparing to give a desperate order.

A series of unexpected screams of horror erupted.

Taylor and Red Night, who had been lurking on the second floor for a long time, took the initiative to launch their attacks from the left and right directions.

In an instant, the scene switched from extreme stillness to extreme motion amidst the interweaving of sword and claw shadows and the color of blood.

Because the space on the second floor was quite narrow.

Furthermore, the soldiers of the Saint Night Army’s two elite spy squads stood tightly together, their attention all focused on Leo Ray and Ariel below.

As a result, caught off guard by Taylor’s broadsword and Red Night’s fierce claw attack.

A large number of soldiers collided with each other like headless flies, or fell from the heights, creating a scene of extreme chaos.

However, these Tier 2 elite spies of the Saint Night Army were extremely well-trained.

In just a moment, they managed to regain their footing and began raising their crossbows, pulling the trigger without hesitation.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The next second, a dense storm of sharp arrows mixed with bloody wind shot towards Taylor and Red Night!

However, when the sharp arrowheads were about to reach their bodies.

A set of earth-yellow and a set of dark red translucent armor appeared out of thin air.

Barely visible, they easily blocked these arrows with the crisp sound of metal collision.

As all of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this scene, August’s face was ashen, and his bloodshot eyes nearly burst, disbelievingly saying, “Is this the energy barrier that can only be condensed by a Tier 5 powerhouse capable of securing a nation?!”

“Besides that burly man, there’s actually another Tier 5 powerhouse?!”

Looking up at Red Night who radiated a terrifying aura, Ariel’s fair cheeks showed a mixture of shock and excitement that she couldn’t suppress.

Next, she saw her bright eyes move downward, finally stopping on Leo Ray standing calmly beside her, causing a storm to surge in her heart.

She never thought that this newcomer would have two national-level Tier 5 powerhouses loyal to him!

For her part of the Coldflame Royal Family, this was already on par with their top combat power!

“No wonder he deployed that burly man to be with me, he had another female Tier 5 powerhouse by his side!”

Thinking of this, Ariel’s long eyelashes flickered as she looked at Leo Ray’s gentle profile.

Meanwhile, she couldn’t help but sigh in her heart, “That said, just like that last time at my ancestor’s resting place, only he was teleported in. I must say, this unexpected fellow certainly knows how to surprise and astonish people…”

At the same time, the crushing battle on the second floor continued.

Facing the concentrated fire of a Tier 2 elite squad, a typical Tier 4 powerhouse might be under great threat.

However, for Taylor and Red Night, who were Tier 5 powerhouses, it was of little consequence.

In a short time, as deadly trajectories swept through the air.

With the battering of a giant sword and sharp claws like a storm, the two elite spy squads with no escape or chance to avoid quickly suffered heavy casualties.

Amidst the broken crossbows and curled blades scattered on the ground between crisscrossed bodies.

These Saint Night elite spies, who usually served as assassins and harvesters, never expected that they would be defeated so cleanly today, just like the targets they had once killed.

“This is what happens when you aim your arrows at an opponent you shouldn’t provoke.”

Watching the battle on the second floor as it approached its conclusion, without any expression on his face, Leo Ray’s gaze shifted and finally rested on August and the three rebellious commanders not far in front of him.

At this moment, looking at the four men who had begun to shiver in front of them, Leo Ray indifferently told Gideon Black and Scarlett, “Go ahead, no need to hold back, except for the mastermind behind the scenes.””As you command, my lord!”

Hearing this, the two ready and waiting immediately sprang into action. One leaped into the air, while the other clenched his fists, cracking his knuckles as he strode forward.

At the same time, under Ariel’s signal, Burt and Joshua – who were keeping their own subordinate identities hidden – followed with grim expressions on their faces.

“I’ll take one of them to hell even if I die!”

On the other side, August Montgomery, with a murderous look on his face, brandished his huge sword with a flash of cold light. Alongside three Tier 3 pinnacle powerhouses, they charged forward together.

Balls of fire and sword energies intertwined in an instant, and both sides collided in a fierce battle.

Without a doubt, although the number of fighters on both sides is equal, their side consisted of all Tier 4 powerhouses, holding a clear overwhelming advantage.

Driven by the thunderous assault, the entire conference hall was cleared in the blink of an eye, leaving only August Montgomery standing.

As for the four on their side, they remained unscathed, of course.

Ultimately, with Taylor’s intervention, August Montgomery was quickly subdued on the spot.

“Gideon, check his body to see if there’s any other information we haven’t uncovered yet,” Leo Ray instructed the brawny priest with a slight nod.

He obviously wouldn’t waste time talking to such a ruthless individual. If it weren’t for their timely intervention, Ariel and the others would have likely been killed on the spot by him.

“Understood, my lord.”

Hearing his orders, Gideon bowed gracefully, anticipation etched across his chiseled features.

Next, maintaining a mysterious smile, he pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and slowly approached August who had been confined to the ground.

“What are you trying to do?”

Unable to move, August sensed a bone-chilling cold coming his way and struggled in response subconsciously.

“Don’t worry, it will be over soon.”

As Gideon drew closer, his gold-rimmed glasses reflected a black light, akin to an abyss.

The next second, August’s frantic struggle came to an abrupt halt.

His horrified, clouded eyes quickly changed from panic to listlessness, reflecting only the eerie glow of the metallic skull necklace on Gideon’s chest.

Seeing this, Leo Ray subtly nodded.

Ever since uncovering Gideon’s unique interrogation talent in the Cyan Town spy infiltration incident, he had kept it in mind.

However, since August’s power wasn’t much lower than Gideon’s, his resistance to mental attacks would naturally be quite high.

Thus, Leo Ray chose the previous strategy for caution’s sake.

On the other side, Ariel also noticed this happening and glanced eagerly at Gideon, who was probing August’s mind.

From August’s previous description, it could be inferred that a large-scale battle would be launched by the Saint Night Army before the daybreak tomorrow, aimed at capturing the fortress in a pincer attack.

With the whereabouts of Lord White, the fortress’s commander, still unknown, it was a matter of urgency to quickly obtain more useful details from their opponents under the pressing situation.

Otherwise, if the mountain fortress were to fall, and the Saint Night Army were to march straight in, the consequences would be unimaginable.

By then, countless more Coldflame citizens would be subjected to war’s devastation and torment!

As Ariel became increasingly anxious, Gideon slowly opened his tightly shut eyes and bowed to Leo Ray, saying, “My lord, everything is under control.”
