Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong
Chapter 1308 - Chapter 1308 Chapter 778 Heading to Saint Night_2

Chapter 1308: Chapter 778: Heading to Saint Night_2 Chapter 1308: Chapter 778: Heading to Saint Night_2 Lord White’s anxious old eyes began to calm down, and he solemnly said, “As long as this old man and the fortress legion are here, Mr. Lane can rest assured!”

“Thank you, General White. The recruitment work in various places is currently underway in an orderly manner, and the reinforcements will be delivered along with the promised weapons and equipment.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly and smiled at the old general, “The main issue is at hand, so we won’t stay long.”

“I wish you a smooth journey, Mr. Lane.”

Lord White bowed with a hand on his chest and hurriedly gave way.

Then, under Lord White’s watchful eyes, Leo Ray and his party disappeared into the fortress’s conference hall.

A momentary sense of weightlessness flashed by, and when Leo Ray’s vision cleared again, he found himself on an open hillside.

“Alright, Jasper Richardson, no need to teleport. Let’s go ahead and take a look at Saint Night Kingdom’s city and customs.”

Leo Ray looked at the misty mountains and rivers in front of him and nodded to his subordinates.

According to the intelligence received from Dean, the army led by the Lunar Temple Holy Maiden was currently near the western stronghold of Saint Night Kingdom, Karley City. Under normal carriage travel, it would take about ten days from the mountain fortress.

If they were to march urgently, they could reach the mountain fortress in five days.

Of course, for Leo Ray and his extraordinary party, it was at most a three-hour journey, even without being familiar with the Saint Night landscape.

In addition, although he didn’t bring Tier 3 subordinates like Bianca White due to the need to infiltrate the enemy camp, he temporarily did not have a mount to use.

However, after Leo Ray advanced to a Tier 4 Powerhouse, both his speed and the energy stored in his body had greatly improved. With the help of the Power of Divine Grace, he could keep up with the speed of other subordinates.

“In the process of advancing at my own speed, I can become more proficient in using the energy in my body and combining it with the Power of Divine Grace, which could be considered a special form of cultivation.”

Thinking so, Leo Ray began to speed forward, surrounded by his subordinates.

At the forefront of the team was Elusa, who was most familiar with the Saint Night Kingdom. Reaching the destination smoothly would be no problem with her leading the way.

With the wind whistling by, Leo Ray quickly arrived at the long-lost Cliff Fragrance Town after passing several small Saint Night Army fortresses and barracks.

It could be seen that the town had returned to its former tranquility, with houses destroyed by war now repaired. The fields were busy with irrigation, and windmills were turning on the outskirts, painting a thriving picture.

“I remember the first time I came here, it was a mess, completely different from the scene now. It’s really like a different world.”

With a sigh, Leo Ray didn’t stop and continued towards the heartland of the Saint Night Kingdom.

Although the Saint Night Kingdom had numerous fortresses and well-arranged camps in this area, their defense was extremely tight.

However, for Leo Ray and the others, who were all above Tier 4 and possessed Invisibility Cloaks, it was no different from being non-existent.

About half an hour later, as the road beneath them became smoother, Leo Ray and his party passed several fortresses and villages and finally saw a large city standing at the foot of a mountain.

At a glance, the city was strong and deep, with defensive measures all around. Its scale was no less than that of Golin City and Viennas City.

“Lord, this is Salvey Castle, a border stronghold of the Saint Night Kingdom. It is a fortress city that combines military and mineral resources,” Elusa’s crisp introduction sounded in Leo Ray’s ears. “Once we pass through here, we will truly enter the heartland of the western part of the Saint Night Kingdom.”

“It seems we’re getting closer and closer to our destination.”Leo Ray withdrew his observing gaze and nodded to the subordinates beside him, “Let’s continue moving forward.”

Afterward, their field of vision began to broaden as they left the mountainous region and arrived on a vast, green plain.

Various trade routes crisscrossed the landscape, with long merchant convoys and accompanying mercenary guards passing by from time to time, making the place appear quite prosperous.

“Lord, the overall strength of the Saint Night Kingdom is almost on par with Coldflame, proving to be a formidable opponent indeed,” remarked Ariel Watson through mind talk.

“But unlike the Coldflame Kingdom, besides the Moon Palace occupying half of the territory, Saint Night Kingdom’s upper echelons are controlled by aristocratic families. Other nobles can only attach themselves to these great aristocratic families, and besides their respective territories, they possess virtually no voice.”

“Interesting, this is indeed different from the three great aristocracies of Coldflame who simply grow wealthy in their own territories,” replied Leo Ray, raising an eyebrow before asking, “So, the main conflicting point in Saint Night is not between the old and new nobles but between ordinary nobles and the aristocratic families?”

“Lord, you’ve hit the nail on the head,” answered Ariel in a soft, respectful tone. “The aristocratic families of Saint Night have overwhelming power, sometimes even changing the law to benefit themselves, causing resentment among the other mid to low-level nobles.”

“To my understanding, there have even been several occasions in the history of the Saint Night Kingdom where these nobles banded together, leading to direct military confrontations. However, they all ended without issue after mediation by the royal family, leaving only a bad reputation.”

Ariel’s voice grew somewhat confused, “Yet, the royal family of Saint Night has turned a blind eye to these situations. Almost every king has allowed these aristocratic families to act recklessly, seldom intervening.”

“It’s because the Moon Palace maintains a balance among them,” explained Leo with a casual smile, clearing Ariel’s doubts. “As Elusa mentioned, the Moon Palace’s duty is to fulfill the Dark Elf Queen’s promise and uphold the rule of the Saint Night Royal Family. They naturally don’t have to worry about the aristocratic families usurping power.”

“Moreover, although I don’t know the specific situation of the Saint Night court, it can be imagined that these aristocratic families must be mutually restraining each other and secretly plotting against one another. Otherwise, organizations like the Dark Devourer Association would never be allowed to grow in strength.”

With his insightful gaze, Leo continued, “Every ruler of Saint Night only needs to balance the relationships among these factions while ensuring the interests of the royal family. In some ways, this is much more convenient than directly governing all nobles.”

“Completely understood, so this is how it is…” Ariel’s voice rang out in sudden enlightenment, “It seems that I still have much to learn from Lord.”

“I just said it offhandedly, it’s really nothing serious,” replied Leo Ray, his entirety wrapped in an energy shield while pursuing wind and lightning, “Ariel, what is most important is that you learn to use your brain to think, only then can you truly see the essence of things.”

Time on the road always flew by, and by noon, an outline of a city standing on the plain in the distance slowly emerged on the horizon.

Through the explanations of Ariel and Elusa along the way, Leo had gained a preliminary understanding of the Saint Night Kingdom, undoubtedly playing a vital role in the upcoming meeting with Moon Palace Saintess Teresa.

“Hopefully, things will go smoothly. If the other party does not agree to put a temporary halt to the attack, I fear that everything will soon fall apart,” muttered Leo Ray, taking a deep breath while looking at the increasingly clear city ahead.

“Lord, the city of Karley is just ahead. According to Dean’s secret report, the Saint Night Army led by Teresa will resupply here,” Elusa’s slightly solemn voice reached Leo Ray through mind talk. “In terms of timing, the other party should also be arriving soon.”

“Seems like our timing is just right,” answered Leo, sensing the tension in Elusa’s words and nodding resolutely.

“Let me have a good meeting with this Moon Palace Saintess Teresa, who’s leading an army of 250,000 soldiers and see what’s so special about her.”
