Chapter 724: Chapter 484: Mr. Wu and the White Knight_2

Realizing this, Lord White couldn’t help but sigh.

It seemed that he had undoubtedly been too arrogant and shallow in the past.

“General White, you are too kind. You have always been the role model for both of us. It’s only right for us to do this.”

Hearing this, Joshua and Burt exchanged smiles and responded with a smile.

After thanking Burt and Joshua a few more times, Lord White’s gaze shifted and finally settled on Leo Ray.

Having regained some of his strength, he could clearly sense that.

Apart from the female Tier 5 powerhouse he had encountered earlier, there was actually another Tier 5 powerhouse beside this indifferent young man!

“How could this kid with two national-level Tier 5 powerhouses be loyal to him? What is his background?!”

Realizing this, a hint of solemnity appeared on Lord White’s face.

As someone who had fought for the Coldflame Royal Family for most of his life, he understood very well that a Tier 5 powerhouse symbolized absolute royal authority!

Why would such a person with a powerful background appear here?

“However, judging from the current situation, this kid is obviously a friend rather than an enemy.”

At this thought, Lord White secretly let out a sigh of relief, thanked Leo Ray with a nod, and then asked, “Your Excellency, why do you choose to help us?”

“General White, I think you’ve misunderstood something.”

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Leo Ray replied with a faint smile, “I’m not helping you, but Ariel Watson.”

“So that’s how it is.”

Staring into Leo Ray’s eyes for a moment, Lord White took a deep breath and said, “Regardless, I’m still very grateful to Your Excellency!”

As he finished speaking, Lord White, with Burt’s help, forcibly stood up and deeply bowed to Leo Ray.

At this point, Lord White understood clearly.

It would have been absolutely impossible for Princess Ariel, Burt, and Joshua to come here on their own.

As a result, the indifferent young man had obviously played a decisive role.

Most importantly, although he didn’t know the motive and goal of this young man’s actions,

but with the struggle in the Royal Capital escalating,

to say something rebellious, the current Ariel was nothing more than a down-and-out princess without power or authority.

Lord White couldn’t figure out what this young man, who had two Tier 5 powerhouses loyal to him, could gain from Ariel.

On the contrary, Lord White felt that it was more appropriate to say that Princess Ariel had found a powerful backer.

“General White, you’re too polite, you should thank this princess instead.”

Nodding slightly to the still weakened white-haired old man, Leo Ray looked at Ariel Watson and said,

“Old minister, thank you, Your Highness!”

Immediately following, without hesitation, Lord White knelt before Ariel Watson.

“General White, please get up. Right now, it is more important to treat your injuries.”

After hastily signaling Burt to help Lord White up, Ariel Watson smiled and said, “General White, you don’t need to thank me, in fact, I should be the one thanking you.”

As she spoke, a look of gratitude appeared on Ariel Watson’s face, and she continued, “Now, with the chaos in the Royal Capital, you are still working tirelessly to guard the kingdom’s gate for my Coldflame.

Even with the temptation of high positions and great wealth, you have never wavered, truly deserving to be called the pillar of my Coldflame!”

“Your Highness, you’re too kind. It’s an honor for me to serve the Coldflame!”

Upon hearing these words, Lord White’s body trembled with excitement as he declared firmly.

After letting out a heavy sigh, Lord White continued, “I blame myself for being careless, using the wrong people, resulting in today’s situation, almost subverting the three fortresses.”

“General White, there’s no need to blame yourself.”

At this moment, Ariel Watson shook her head helplessly and said, “According to the tradition of the Coldflame, each Kingdom General has two Deputy Generals appointed by the Royal Family for a limited term. If you want to talk about using the wrong people, then it’s the Royal Family’s responsibility.”Hearing this, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows slightly.

Before this, he had heard Joshua mention the matter.

Otherwise, after Joshua was appointed as Kingdom General, his old subordinate Kara would not have been forced to part ways with him.

Doing so undoubtedly limited the power of each kingdom general to a considerable extent, preventing them from threatening the supreme authority of the royal family.

“By the way, General White, the reason I am here is like this …”

After that, Ariel recounted the series of events since they went to rescue Coldflame Residents from Saint Night’s control area, in detail to Lord White.

Of course, due to Leo Ray’s previous emphasis, neither his identity as Lord of Cyan City, nor as the Otherworldly Lord, was mentioned by Ariel.

“So that’s what happened. I didn’t expect August to be a part of Saint Night.”

After listening to Ariel’s words, Lord White gently stroked his slightly chaotic, white beard and nodded thoughtfully.

Then, Lord White changed his expression to a serious one and said, “About the issue of Saint Night Army being at our doorstep before tomorrow morning, it is certainly an urgent matter.”

“General White, about this issue, my…assistant has already made a plan.”

As she spoke, Ariel turned to Leo Ray and nodded.

“My idea is as follows. If there are any shortcomings, please do not hesitate to point them out, General White.”

Taking over from Ariel, Leo Ray nodded slightly, and then reiterated the three aspects of countering the enemy’s plan, command issues, and improving morale.

“Your idea coincides with mine, indeed this is the most reasonable countermeasure at present.”

Nodding thoughtfully, Lord White said, “However, the Urne City of this mountain fortress can only accommodate an army corps of enemies at most.”

As he spoke, White, who was sitting on the ground, tried to stand up on his own.

Meanwhile, he continued, “Moreover, with the cautious nature of the Red Devil as the enemy commander, it is not easy to take advantage of them.

Therefore, we must plan carefully on the most important point of countering the enemy’s plan…”

However, as Lord White straightened up his body, a look of pain appeared on his aged face, and he sat back down with Burt’s help.

“General White, your injuries are serious, please do not move around.”

On the other side of the room, Joshua, who was concentrating on healing, spoke.

Finally, after a while.

Joshua’s life force gradually dissipated from her hands, and she could not help but exhale.

“Miss Joshua, how are General White’s injuries now?”

Seeing this, Ariel immediately asked.

“Your Highness, it does not look promising.”

Sighing lightly, Joshua replied, “General White’s injuries are very serious, and many of the energy pathways in his body have been greatly damaged. All I can do is to completely heal the surface wounds.”

As she spoke, Joshua stroked the damp strand of hair on her forehead and added, “As for the damaged energy pathways, I have nourished them one by one. The rest is up to General White to recover.”

“Wouldn’t this mean that General White is unable to personally command on the battlefield now?”

Immediately after, Ariel’s fair face showed a worried expression, and she asked hurriedly.

Seeing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Just now, from Lord White’s words, it was clear that the enemy commander was an extremely difficult person to deal with.

Therefore, if White, who is serving as the commander of the fortress and the army corps, cannot participate in this battle, or even defend the fortress for some time.

It would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to their arrangement.

“Your Highness, indeed that’s the case. General White is currently very weak, even standing for a long time will be a problem.”

Joshua shook her head helplessly and replied.

Then, her eyes brightened as if reminded of something, and she quickly said, “Wait! There might be another way!”
