Chapter 1299: Chapter 774: Advantages and Plans_2 Chapter 1299: Chapter 774: Advantages and Plans_2 Inside the spacious castle conference hall, compared to the initially low morale, the atmosphere had significantly improved.

“Next is the crucial third point.”p>

Leo Ray paced slowly in front of his subordinates and smiled, “Since the two princes who are hostile to each other can form an alliance, why can’t we find a reliable ally too?”

“A reliable ally?”

Upon hearing Leo Ray’s words, the faces of those present couldn’t help but look at one another.

Great Prince and Second Prince’s power was immense, and their strength still held an absolute advantage, especially now that they have joined forces.

Such a formidable momentum, coupled with the simultaneous deployment of four Kingdom Generals, would seem like a war without suspense to anyone, right?

After all, our overall strength has been almost completely exposed, and the other party will undoubtedly counter each move specifically.

Under such circumstances, who would be willing to muddy the waters? What’s the difference between this and bringing about one’s own destruction? Even if neutral nobles with city-scale power joined in, they could hardly make any decisive impact.

“Lord, is Sister of the Third Princess whom you speak of as a potential ally?”

Ariel Watson’s eyes lit up, and she couldn’t help but blurt out.

Upon hearing Ariel Watson’s words, the main subordinates present finally revealed enlightened expressions.

Ariel Watson’s sister was none other than Coldflame’s Third Princess, who had been leading an army and stationed at the Invincible Northern Fortress in recent years. She was renowned for her battle merits and had great prestige among various human countries.

Although the Third Princess was a woman, she was very skilled in horsemanship and close combat, and was famous for her bravery.

As for leading soldiers, she was also an excellent strategist, clear about rewards and punishments, resolute in killing and strategy, and even more outstanding than ordinary Kingdom Generals.

It was precisely because of this that the Invincible Northern Fortress she was guarding could be regarded as truly impregnable, even repelling enemies thousands of miles away, bringing years of peace to the Kingdom’s Northern Territory.

“Yes, I’m referring to this Third Princess.”

Seeing the sudden realization on his subordinates’ faces, Leo Ray stopped in his tracks and smiled faintly, “As far as I know, the Third Princess controls at least five legions of elite Northern Territory troops, including one of the eight Royal Army Corps, the Blade Legion. If we can gain her full support, it will be a decisive help to our side!”

“Lord, what you said is extremely true. The soldiers under the Third Princess are mostly from the local Northern Territory, and the Northern Territory is known for its harsh, icy conditions, strong winds, and constant sleet. Soldiers who grow up in such harsh environments undoubtedly possess stronger combat capabilities.”

Lord Asher saluted and said respectfully to Leo Ray, “Although I have never set foot in the Northern Territory, I’ve heard that the people there are fierce and sturdy. An ordinary hunter can kill a vicious Demon Beast of the same level with bare hands. You can see just how formidable they are.”

“Lord, Lord Asher is right. Joshua and I have both been stationed at the Invincible Northern Fortress before.”

Burt’s hoarse voice sounded, “The soldiers of the Northern Territory are indeed incredibly tenacious. If it weren’t for the despicable Pars Empire taking advantage of the situation back then, no one could have taken the Northern Territory from the Kingdom.”

After a pause, Burt continued, “As for the Third Princess, I have fought alongside her several times. The Third Princess’s bravery is even greater than mine. I often see the old king’s heroic posture in her.”

“To receive such praise from General Bert, it seems that this Third Princess is indeed an absolute ruthless character.”

Leo Ray once again imagined the burly figure of Barbie Diamond and couldn’t help but smile.

However, at the same time, an expectant expression appeared on Leo Ray’s face. Just what kind of person was this Third Princess of Coldflame? It was truly intriguing.

“But Lord, forming an alliance with this brave member of the royal family is not an easy task.”

Joshua’s resolute voice reached Leo Ray’s ears, “I have also had the honor of working with the Third Princess for some time. The Third Princess is clear-headed and logical, proficient in both civil and military skills, and is well-informed about the situation in Coldflame. She will not send troops to assist us easily.””Furthermore, the Third Princess is, after all, a member of the royal family. While she is brave and good at fighting, her pride has grown alongside her abilities, and she’s somewhat capricious…”

At this point, Joshua’s crisp voice became somewhat hesitant.

“Both of you generals make good points. Regardless of other factors, even though the Third Princess’s mind is all about the battlefield and she has no intention of vying for the throne, she has always maintained a neutral and self-serving attitude.”

Rose Marquis’s elegant voice chimed in: “Most importantly, we have no direct connection with the Third Princess. Acting rashly may backfire. Please consider this carefully, my lord.”

“Just as you all have analyzed.”

Ariel sighed lightly and said with furrowed brows, “When I was young, my elder sister doted on me extremely, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen her. Moreover, our positions are different now, and whether she still recognizes me as a younger sister is an unknown factor.”

After Ariel finished speaking, the subordinates fell into a brief silence.

In the current situation where a large army is pressing down and there is no established relationship with the Third Princess, successfully forming an alliance with her is indeed an extremely difficult task.

“I understand all of your concerns and worries.”

Leo Ray looked at the worried faces of his subordinates and smiled. “As Rose Marquis said, since we have no relationship with her, why not create one? Or rather, make her owe us a favor.”

“Make her owe a favor?”

Benson scratched his head in confusion and asked, “My lord, what exactly should we do?”

“You all should have heard about the recent situation in the Northern Territory, right?”

Leo Ray waved his hand to signal Benson not to worry, still maintaining a faint smile, and asked in return.

“My lord, heavy snow has fallen in the Northern Territory recently, resulting in no grain production and a trend of famine. The Royal Capital has been reluctant to release grain, obviously being sabotaged by one of the princes…”

At this point, Benson’s eyes brightened, and he suddenly realized, “The Northern Territory is currently in a famine, and our area is abundant with food. If we can use the much-needed grain in the Northern Territory as a door opener, we can indeed make the Third Princess owe a huge favor to our lord in a short period!”

After Benson finished speaking, the other subordinates also nodded thoughtfully, as if they had seen the light.

“Several princes have surplus food but deliberately withhold it, while we, despite our own difficulties, are still willing to lend a hand to the Third Princess. With such contrast, it’s easy to see who stands on higher moral ground.”

Leo Ray raised an eyebrow and said to the subordinates, “Even if the Third Princess realizes that we want to forge an alliance with her, she will still have to think about it seriously. After all, we are the only ones willing to help her.”

“Besides, from the fact that the Royal Capital deliberately refuses to release grain, it is evident that several princes are wary of the Third Princess and intentionally act this way to weaken the power of the Northern Territory.”

Leo Ray’s eyes gleamed with intelligence, and he analyzed logically, “As the saying goes, ‘when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.’ Who can guarantee that once we are completely annihilated, the Third Princess won’t become the next target of the other princes?”

“My lord’s analysis is very reasonable!”

Asher’s resolute face was filled with excitement, and he echoed, “Moreover, if we want to transport a large amount of grain to the Northern Territory, we have to go through the territories of the Great Prince and the Second Prince. This would provide a reason for the Third Princess to send reinforcements!”

“Exactly. As for whether the Third Princess will accept our help and be willing to send troops, I’ll have to personally visit the Northern Territory to negotiate.”

Leo Ray snapped his fingers lightly and concluded, “Thus, these three unparalleled advantages are the hope of our success this time.”

“However, if we genuinely want to ignite this slim chance into a raging flame, we still need a minor catalyst.”

Leo Ray smiled faintly and continued to speak confidently.
