Ariel Watson frowned, and after thinking for a moment, she said with a puzzled look, “In addition to figuring out the strengths of the White Knight, what other goals have the Nightmare Knight achieved?”

“General Bert is referring to the issue of the cavalry, isn’t he?”

Leo Ray’s gaze slowly retracted from the sand table in front of him and continued, “Before the war began, one of the White Knight’s advantages was their 30,000-strong cavalry force.”

“However, after Olivia’s illusion disguise and yesterday’s battle, this 30,000-strong cavalry has been greatly reduced, and no longer poses an absolute threat to the Nightmare Knight.”

Leo Ray’s eyes were sharp as he continued, “I believe that in addition to figuring out the strengths of the White Knight, this was another important goal of the Nightmare Knight in yesterday’s battle.”

“I see! Upon careful consideration, the White Knight did indeed achieve a bitter victory.”

Looking at Leo Ray’s shining black eyes, Ariel Watson nodded in admiration, “So it seems that compared to the traditional nobles led by the White Knight, the threat of the Nightmare Knight is greater.”

“Afraid so.”

Leo Ray refocused his gaze on the sand table in front of him, and laughed helplessly, “At first, I thought that the commander of the Second Prince’s forces was just a Kingdom General, but I didn’t expect someone with such a strong death energy to appear.”

“My Lord is right; this is indeed very unexpected. The Nightmare Knight is a Tier 5 senior powerhouse, significantly stronger than the Tier 5 Third Star White Knight, and the once-dominant cavalry under the White Knight have been shattered. However, the main force of the Nightmare Knight’s longbowman troops remains.”

Joshua lowered his eyebrows and shook his head helplessly, “As a result, the advantage on paper has completely reversed.”

“Besides, as my Lord has persuaded Brocade Winthrop not to be our enemy anymore, does this mean that the threat posed by the Nightmare Knight to our territory is now greater than the White Knight?”

Ariel Watson nodded thoughtfully as she looked at Joshua’s stern and imposing face, “It seems that our focus should shift from the White Knight to the Nightmare Knight.”

“Not only that, but I have a feeling that the mysterious organization might be behind the Nightmare Knight. Even if it’s not, we must be on guard against the recently quiet mysterious organization.”

Leo Ray stared at the opposing forces on the sand table and contemplated, “So, based on the current situation, indeed, we should focus our attention on the Nightmare Knight.”

“My Lord’s reasoning is correct.”

The calm and steady voice of General Burt rang out as he looked carefully at the sand table and agreed, “However, the White Knight is not to be underestimated.”

“My Lord, although I have fought alongside him many times, I have never seen anyone push him to a dead end, not even in yesterday’s battle.”

Burt’s tone became more serious as he continued, “Therefore, there must be some extraordinary cards on the White Knight, and their threat cannot be underestimated.”

“Moreover, if the mysterious organization secretly intervenes, there might be more than two Tier 5 powerhouses in the two opposing camps.”

Ariel Watson’s crisp and slightly nervous voice rang out again, “I didn’t expect that the power struggle between these parties would involve such terrifying forces.”

Hearing Ariel’s words, the subordinates’ expressions inevitably became solemn.

If the enemy had more than two Tier 5 powerhouses, our own advantage in Tier 5 powerhouses would undoubtedly be wiped out.

Even if we could disguise ourselves as another powerful Tier 5 powerhouse from the Coldflame Royal Family, it would be an unknown factor whether we could deter the enemy if they deployed more than two Tier 5 powerhouses.

“Although that may be the case, as long as the two sides do not join forces, we still have a chance.”

Feeling the oppressive atmosphere in the castle hall, Leo Ray smiled faintly, “Don’t worry, everyone. As I have said before, if the enemy thinks they can easily trap us in a deadly situation, they would be mistaken.”Upon hearing Leo Ray’s words, the faces of the subordinates were filled with renewed excitement.

That’s right, as long as they were by the Lord’s side, there was nothing to fear!

While feeling excited, Ariel Watson furrowed her brows and pondered for a moment before asking, “My Lord, since the Nightmare Knight plans to lure the White Knight out, how do you think the White Knight will respond?”

“Judging from the White Knight’s past battle records, he is not an ordinary person in terms of his wisdom. Even if he didn’t see through the Nightmare Knight’s probing and showing weakness right after yesterday’s battle, he would surely realize it later.”

Looking at Ariel’s puzzled face, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows with a smile and said confidently, “Therefore, the White Knight will definitely not fall for the bait easily. Instead, he might use some kind of countermeasure to thwart the Nightmare Knight’s scheme.”

“Moreover, although Brocade Winthrop promised not to attack our territory, he never said he wouldn’t deal with the Nightmare Knight.”

At this point, Leo Ray’s smile grew deeper as he continued, “Therefore, the Nightmare Knight may not only fail but also suffer a great loss. After all, luring the snake out of its hole requires bait. If the snake isn’t caught, the bait will be lost in vain.”

“My Lord makes a valid point.”

Ariel pondered and nodded thoughtfully, “I’m really curious to see what kind of strategy the White Knight will use.”

“Don’t worry, since the Nightmare Knight has once again chosen to target the White Knight first, all we need to do is sit back and enjoy the show. I’m sure new information will be coming our way soon.”

Leo Ray still maintained a faint smile, casually taking a sip of the hot tea handed to him by the maid, and then spoke.

Sure enough, it didn’t take long.

With a clear and sharp voice, Stella Clark’s voice mixed with the sound of intense fighting came from the Mind Talk, “Reporting to my Lord, the vanguard of the new aristocratic forces led by the Nightmare Knight was attacked by the White Knight’s cavalry near their camp! Both sides are currently engaged in battle!”

“It seems that the vanguard is the bait of the Nightmare Knight.”

Leo Ray leisurely swirled the fragrant hot tea in the white porcelain cup, and smiled lightly.

Half an hour later, Serena Clark’s clear voice came again, “Reporting to my Lord, after swiftly annihilating the vanguard with a thunderous momentum, the White Knight has been completely cut off from retreating by the Nightmare Knight’s infantry. However, strangely enough, the White Knight and his cavalry managed to break through the tight encirclement with minimal losses and returned to their well-defended camp. I will investigate how they managed to do this.”

After two cups of tea had passed, Serena’s sudden realization came, “My Lord, I’ve found out. It turns out that many magic traps had been set up in advance along the White Knight’s route back to the camp and were concealed with illusions.”

“Though the encirclement of the Nightmare Knight seemed impregnable, a significant number of its soldiers had actually fallen into the magic traps and perished. The gaps were filled with illusions by Brocade Winthrop. The White Knight managed to escape through this gap.”

As Serena finished speaking, Leo Ray and the others in the hall exchanged amused glances and continued to wait for the battle report.

By sunset, when the afterglow began to spill onto the earth, Leo Ray received the final result of the battle.

After the White Knight had easily broken through the encirclement, the infuriated Nightmare Knight began to use the overwhelming number of longbowmen to attack the White Knight’s camp.

However, this led to the activation of more magic traps and ordinary traps that had already been dug. In the end, the Nightmare Knight had no choice but to retreat, leaving thousands of dead bodies behind.

Perhaps out of caution, the White Knight did not pursue the enemy from his camp but allowed them to leave the battlefield instead.

“Alright, now we need to pay attention to where the Nightmare Knight makes camp.”

As Leo Ray spoke, his eyes grew sharp again, “If I’m not mistaken, the real battle will officially begin tonight.”

Upon hearing Leo Ray’s words, the expressions of the commanders and loyal subordinates in the hall all turned solemn.
