At this point, both Princess Ariel herself and the two Tier 4 generals by her side couldnt help but exchange glances.

Without a doubt, their superior attitudes and the various tactics of coercion and bribery employed by the Coldflame Royal Family were completely useless against the young man before them.

Moreover, from his eyes, one could clearly see…

If they made any dishonorable moves, he would not hesitate to eliminate them all, perhaps even including the noble Ariel.

At this moment, under the brilliant sun, the vast square was full of blooming flowers and green grass, making the scene warm and cozy everywhere.

However, the hearts of the Coldflame powerhouses present were already as if they had fallen into an ice cave, continuously sending out chills.

The indifferent young man before them, whose gentle demeanor hid a bone-chilling decisiveness and cruelty.

“Your Highness, in the view of this old servant, the meaning in the other party’s words has already been very clear. ”

After a moment of silence, the Tier 4 white-haired elder in heavy plate armor slightly nodded his head.

Then, bowing to Ariel, he said, “That is, we must put aside our pride and act with the etiquette and demeanor of a proper diplomatic envoy to gain the other party’s respect.”

“Your Highness, the old general has a point.”

On the other side, although the fair-faced woman still carried a trace of anger on her face, the Tier 4 female knight couldn’t help but nod, and then whispered, “This man is obviously one who is hard to deal with, belonging to the most difficult kind of person.

Furthermore, the sheer strength he has displayed on the surface alone is already astonishing.

Therefore, though it’s infuriating, at this point, it’s more advantageous for us to be allies with this annoying man rather than opponents.

After all, we have almost nowhere to shelter in the royal capital at this stage.”

“I understand that, but this carefree man makes me so angry that my teeth itch.’

Ariel couldn’t help but sigh lightly, furrowing her cute nose and murmuring to herself, “Forget it, there’s no other choice now.”

As she said this, Ariel stepped forward, flicking her slightly curled long hair and trying to maintain composure as she cleared her throat.

Then, somewhat reluctantly, she said, “Fine, since you truly invite me sincerely, I will give you face and let you lead the way.”

At this point, even though she still appeared proud, her voice had unconsciously softened a lot, and compared to before, it was clearly lacking confidence.

“It seems that this is the Princess’s final stubbornness.”

On the other side, seeing that she had forcibly found a way to save face for herself, Leo Ray shrugged slightly and said nothing further. He then led his subordinates directly towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

Without a doubt, after the confrontation just now, they had already achieved their predetermined goal: to intimidate their opponent to the greatest extent possible while preserving their trump cards.

Thus, they were able to crush their opponents’ spirits while taking control of further conversations.

Most importantly, it allowed the other party to clearly understand that if they wanted to make any moves in Cyan Town, all they would face would be utter disaster.

…And so, after a short while.

Leo Ray was already seated on the throne in the first-floor main hall of the City Lord’s Mansion. Behind him stood Taylor and Gideon Black.

On the other side, in the spacious and brightly lit hall.

On the left-hand side of the lower part of the hall.

In order were Rhizoma Drynariae, the two Cyan Town Defense Army Battalion Commanders, Serena Clark, Stella Clark, Scarlett, Abigail, and Amelia, a total of 8 people.

On the right-hand side.

There were the opposing forces: the old man in Tier 1+ Plate Armor, the young woman in a Tier 4 pure white Priest Robe, five Tier 3 Female Servants, and acting as a neutral force were Linda and Mason Banks.

As for the most important Princess Ariel, she naturally received VIP treatment, sitting next to Leo Ray’s throne on a luxurious armchair that had been obviously sawed shorter by a section.

Furthermore, the two elite squads brought by the opposing side and other accompanying personnel were all arranged in an idle barracks not far from the City Lord’s Mansion.

Of course, there were also the two Great Swordsman Squads and a Mage Squad following Leo Ray who came to keep a close watch on the opposing side’s every move.

“Alright, let’s cut the small talk and get straight to the point.”

Seeing that everyone was in place, Leo Ray nodded slightly, signaling the maid on standby to serve tea to Princess Ariel, and then spoke.

“That’s just what this princess intended.”

On the other side, Ariel, who had obviously been lowered by a section, knew that Leo Ray had done it on purpose. She couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her mouth, suppressing the anger in her heart and still pretending to be calm.

Next, through Ariel’s brief introduction, Leo Ray learned.

Those two powerful Tier 4 Powerhouses were both among the Eight Great Kingdom Generals loyal to the Coldflame Royal Family.

The white-haired old man in armor, wielding a battle-axe, was Giant Axe General Burt.

And the young woman in a pure white priest robe, with a longsword at her waist, was Holy Light General Joshua.

“Eight Great Kingdom Generals? Interesting. If nothing unexpected happens, these two Kingdom Generals should be the supporters of the Fifth Princess.”

At this moment, Leo Ray couldn’t help but fall into contemplation: “However, their main forces do not seem to have appeared. It is clear that there must be something peculiar about this, and I must find an opportunity to ask carefully later.

Through his understanding during this period, he clearly realized.

In this world, those who can truly be called generals are at least corps commanders leading an army of ten thousand.

In other words, this also indirectly proves that the Coldflame Royal Family alone has at least eight legions of troops.

Moreover, other Coldflame cities, when combined, would indeed be a terrifying number for the current themselves.

After all, at this stage, the friendly forces only have Cyan Town and Maron City, these two small towns.

“But having said that, the hereditary territories of Joshua Bingaman and Orion

Wolfe must be thoroughly pacified later. With their identities as heirs to the count’s family, it should not be difficult to achieve this.”

“Once this is done, our strength will be further increased, and we must also find an opportunity to carefully investigate the other cities around Cyan Town and Maron City.”

Thinking of this, Leo Ray cheered up, and introduced his subordinates in a simple manner again.

When both sides had politely greeted each other, Leo Ray did not hesitate to continue speaking to Ariel, “So, dear Fifth Princess, tell me the real purpose of your coming here..”
