Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong
Chapter 1198 - Chapter 1198 Chapter 722 The Unstoppable Attack_2

Chapter 1198: Chapter 722: The Unstoppable Attack_2 Chapter 1198: Chapter 722: The Unstoppable Attack_2 With a glance at the lifeless corpse, the thick voice of the Rose Marquis reverberated through the entire city wall.

“We pledge loyalty to Her Highness Princess Ariel and fight for her to completely eradicate the corrupt nobles entrenched here. Princess Ariel once said that we, the Coldflame nobility, should serve as the shield to protect the common people, not the sword against them!”

The Rose Marquis’s voice grew stronger as he announced loudly, “Free farmers of Pinehaven City, raise your swords and fight for yourselves and for Princess Ariel!”

It goes without saying that the Rose Marquis’s words were instigated by Leo Ray.

As Leo Ray originally planned, only by utilizing Ariel, a member of the royal family with a high reputation among the people, could they justify their actions and quickly stabilize a city.

After all, Leo Ray knew clearly that in the face of the potential great catastrophe, he needed to seize every moment to gather resources and accumulate strength to deal with larger unknown crises rather than focusing on the insignificant aspects of governance and schemes.

Sure enough, after proving his identity, the conscripted free farmers on the city walls were first startled, then filled with excitement.

Recently, the story of Princess Ariel, risking her own safety with Mr. Lane’s help to repel the invading Saint Night Army, had spread throughout the city.

Both Princess Ariel’s bravery and Mr. Lane’s strategy had become popular topics of conversation for the people.

For the free farmers who could barely get enough to eat yet still risk their lives working in the fields, this was undoubtedly a rare source of comfort.

After all, they were citizens of Coldflame, and there was a Princess of Coldflame willing to fight to protect them, rather than treating them like livestock!

“Kill the minions of the traditional nobles! We must fight for Princess Ariel and Mr. Lane!”

Accompanied by the angry roars, the conscripted free farmers threw themselves at the soldiers of the traditional nobles and became entangled with them. Flags depicting the emblem of Pinehaven City’s traditional nobles were hurled down from the city wall by the angry farmers.

For a time, flags were broken, swords clashed, and the battle on the city wall turned chaotic. Rose Marquis seized the opportunity, along with his subordinates, and easily opened the western gate of Pinehaven City.

With the help of the free farmers inside the city, Rose Marquis and his forces quickly gained control over Pinehaven City, bringing this key stronghold of the traditional nobles under Leo Ray’s control.

Meanwhile, in the area controlled by the traditional aristocratic forces, a troop bearing the banner of the Black Lion, the Kingdom’s General, had also captured the nearby Liuxi Fortress and began advancing into the traditional aristocrats’ heartland.

In the forefront of the troop was a young female general dressed in white. In addition to the Black Lion’s banner, fluttering above her head was a flag bearing the intertwined images of a holy sword and the wings of an angel.

Under the dawn’s light, this female general’s identity was obviously that of Holy Light General Joshua, another of Leo Ray’s capable generals and one of the Eight Great Kingdom Generals of Coldflame.

After the black fog in Cyan Town dissipated, following Leo Ray’s orders, Joshua, bearing the tokens of the various city lords, rushed toward the Mountain Fortress.

As expected, Joshua led the defense forces from Cyan Town, Milan Town, Magnet Town, Blue Cold Fortress, Golin City, Viennas City, and Dragon’s Lair. These 7,000 soldiers had become a formidable force after several battles with the Saint Night Army.

Since Leo Ray had made a prior agreement with Lord White stationed there, both the Moon Wolf Clan soldiers who passed through the Coldflame Territory and the part of the defensive forces led by Joshua received Lord White’s full support.

Along with Joshua, the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps’ leader and the three old Grand Mages returned.

However, instead of returning to the Mountain Fortress, they went directly to the Knight’s City of the traditional aristocratic forces, Pentium City.There, 1000 elite mercenaries from the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps had already infiltrated the city in stages. By the time Randal arrived, they had already opened the city gates.

Under the sudden attack of the 1000 elite mercenaries, the reserve soldiers of the Pentium City Defense Army naturally couldn’t withstand the onslaught. Moreover, since the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps were fighting under Ariel’s banner, they quickly won the support of the local free farmers.

All of this had been carefully arranged by Leo Ray in advance.

In the eastern region of Coldflame Kingdom, Pentium City was second only to Pinehaven City as a stronghold of traditional nobles. After both of them fell, the other cities were no longer a threat.

Thus, following Leo Ray’s meticulous arrangements, his powerful troops and soldiers swept through like a crushing wave, not only successfully eliminating the last ray of life for traditional nobles but also leading to the consecutive falls of Pinehaven City, Pentium City, and Liuxi Fortress.

As for the other traditional noble cities, besieged by these four forces, they had already become frightened and trapped birds, just waiting to fall in due time.

At the forefront of these traditional noble forces was a medium-sized city – Vilun City.

At this moment, Vilun City’s gates were tightly closed, and the walls were heavily guarded by soldiers, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Although Vilun City’s lord, Baldwin, was one of the first to be captured and failed among traditional nobles, he was clever enough to leave a well-trained defense army battalion to defend the city before leaving.

Together with the 3,000 reserve soldiers in the city, Vilun City had become the most heavily defended traditional noble city in the region.

“Stay alert and don’t slack off even for a moment!”

On the city wall of Vilun City, a middle-aged commander with a worried expression was reminding the daydreaming defense soldiers around him.

From the trembling tone of his voice, it was clear that he was already in a state of panic. This man was Keller, the Vilun City defense battalion commander and the only commander left behind.

Keller was not a noble; he was just a free farmer. Due to his exceptional talents, he eventually became a mercenary.

Later, for his excellent skills, Keller was appreciated by Baldwin and forcibly recruited into his ranks, joining the Vilun City defense army, gradually being promoted to his current position.

After receiving a series of unfavorable news, Keller, who knew that the situation was extremely bad, was very uneasy at this time.

What worried him the most was not the war situation but the safety of his family in the City Lord Mansion.

Since Keller was not a local of Vilun City and had quite impressive strength,

Baldwin entrusted him with the defense of the city before leaving. After all, this insignificant battalion commander was just a humble free farmer who didn’t deserve to compete with others for merits.

However, much to Baldwin’s chagrin, Keller was usually not rough with the free farmers and tried to help these lowly fellows as much as possible.

Therefore, to prevent Keller from making any unexpected moves, Baldwin ostensibly said it was for the safety of his family, but in fact, put them all under house arrest and had them guarded by loyal retainers left behind.

And now, Baldwin’s whereabouts were unknown, and Vilun city was on the brink of danger.

Keller was not sure if, when the city breaks, his family would be the first to be slaughtered by the City Lord’s personal guards. It was important to know that those fanatical guards were extremely ferocious and only obeyed the City Lord.

Moreover, even if the personal guards didn’t make a move, the forces attacking the city would definitely not spare his family… Thinking of this, Keller’s mind was already in turmoil.

Just when Keller was feeling unsettled,

a gentle voice had already reached his ears, “Don’t worry, your family is safe now; there’s no need to worry anymore.”
