Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Cold Flame and Holy Night_l
Translator: 549690339
Under the deep blue night sky, a pair of bright moons shone like mirrors.
In the reception hall of the Lord’s Mansion, under the illumination of Light Crystal Stones as bright as LED lights, Leo Ray sat in the highest position and looked at those seated below him.
To his left hand, in order, were Taylor, Gideon Black, Serena Clark, Stella Clark, and Scarlett.
On his right hand, there were Belinda Wright, the Half-Elf, and four other Tier 1 captains, including Gavin Sullivan.
Of course, to gather more opinions, Leo Ray also opened Mind Talk and connected remotely with Leader Gunner Santons of the Half-Elf Clan, who was several kilometers away within a Barrier.
“A Tier 5 Powerhouse, a Tier 4 Powerhouse, three Tier 3 Powerhouses, and a Tier 2 Seven-Star Half-Elf Ranger…
It seems that we need to hurry up and train Belinda and other Tier 2 Half-Elves into Tier 3 Powerhouses in order to enhance our strength.”
After thinking about this, Leo Ray’s spirits lifted slightly, and he returned his attention to reality. He said solemnly, “Alright, let’s skip the pleasantries and get straight to the point.
At present, the situation we’re facing is like this…”
Then, Leo Ray proceeded to describe in detail the series of events that took place when he entered the city in the afternoon, the distribution of power in Cyan Town, the composition of the City Lord’s forces, and their current movements.
On the other side, after hearing the Lord’s introduction, a look of seriousness spread across the faces of those seated below.
There was no doubt that if the ruthless City Lord gathered all the city’s forces to attack, even if they could eliminate the enemy completely, it would likely come at a heavy cost.
After all, if the total number of mercenaries in the city were added, the enemy would have at least five Tier 3 Powerhouses, nearly two hundred Tier 2 Powerhouses, and more than three thousand Tier 1 soldiers.
This was assuming that the two Tier 3 Powerhouses from Sanders’ Trading Conference remained neutral.
The most critical issue was that due to the limited time, they were not sure whether the City Lord had any hidden trump cards or secret weapons that were unknown to them.
What if the enemy asked for reinforcements or strong fighters from other cities?
As such, it became clear that if a direct conflict broke out between the two sides, unbearable losses would be incurred for the growth of Leo Ray’s forces. see.”
If there is a Tier 3 Earth Element Magician powerhouse or several Tier 2 Earth Element Magician powerhouses in the enemy’s camp who can build bridges, this river will immediately lose its protective effect.
Moreover, since the enemy is a local force and knows the surrounding terrain like the back of their hand, it is likely that even damming the river for a siege would be noticed by them.
It seems that our current situation is indeed highly dangerous.”
As Gunner Santons finished speaking, the atmosphere in the enormous reception hall became tense.
On the other side, the Old Half-Elf’s voice paused for a moment before continuing: “But from the Lord’s steady and composed tone just now, I can tell that the Lord must have some strategies in mind, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Seeing that everyone understood the seriousness of the problem, Leo Ray lifted his water cup and took a sip of sweet spring water to moisten his throat.lmmediately, he shared the previously discussed plan with Taylor about the internal sabotage and decapitation operation to weaken their opponent’s strength, as well as concerns about defending the city in the future.
“Lord is truly extraordinary! The decapitation operation, combined with internal sabotage, is indeed the best choice for us at the moment!”
After taking the opportunity to flatter, Gunner Santons’ voice came out again, “When I was young, I traveled and adventured in both of these human kingdoms. ”
The kingdom where Cyan Town is located in the west of the forest is called the Coldflame Kingdom, and the more distant Darkshire in the east belongs to the Saint Night Kingdom.
Although the influence of the king of these two human kingdoms is extremely limited outside the royal capital and the surrounding areas,
The local lord holds tremendous power, and many civilians suffer as a result.
However, as long as these local lords choose to obey the royal family and pay attention to obligations such as tax collection and conscription of soldiers, they can be protected by the king.
Therefore, to maintain the authority of the king, even though Coldflame and Saint Night are currently in a fierce war,
When we, the emerging force, take control of Cyan Town, the enraged Coldflame Royal Family may send a large army to attack, and they won’t stop until we are completely wiped out.
So, Lord’s concerns about defending the city in the future are indeed justified.”
“I understand.” After hearing this, Gideon Black at the lower end of the table adjusted his glasses and showed a thoughtful expression: “It seems that if we cannot deal with the problem of the upcoming Coldflame army in advance,
Even if we eliminate the current threats, I’m afraid it would only trigger a more violent and deadly storm.”
At this point, everyone unanimously swallowed and felt as if the temperature around them had dropped significantly.
“This shows that Lord’s plan for two sets of arrangements.
The first is to win over the collateral chairman of the Sanders family, using their reputation to better undermine the forces in the city and carrying out subsequent stability work in the city.
The second arrangement should be about planning to solve the next problem, right?” Immediately after, Gunner Santons’ hoarse voice came out again. “Old Chief, you really can’t hide anything from you.”
With a faint smile, Leo Ray put down the water cup in his hand, slowly stood up, and replied, “That’s right, the second arrangement is to solve this issue.”
“Lord, what exactly is the arrangement?” On the other side, Scarlett, who had been somewhat confused, couldn’t help but asking, tilting her ponytail on her
head.
“It’s simple, it’s breaking the situation by borrowing the trend.” Walking towards the people at the lower end of the table, Leo Ray said with a faint smile.
“Breaking the situation by borrowing the trend?” Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but show a pondering look, and began to think along with Leo Ray’s words.
“Undoubtedly, we cannot contend with a kingdom with our current strength.
So, what we need to do is only one thing, that is, to use the power that can confront Coldflame, so that Coldflame has no time to care about the situation here.”
Looking at everyone’s thoughtful expressions, Leo Ray continued to prompt,
“The answer should be obvious now, right?”
“Lord, do you mean to use the fact that Coldflame and Saint Night are at war on the border to achieve the purpose of keeping Coldflame from paying attention to us here?!”
After frowning and thinking for a moment, Taylor finally realized the plan.
“That’s right.”
With a faint smile, Leo Ray answered..
