Chapter 1315: Chapter 782: Lord and Lunar Temple Holy Maiden (Part 2)_1 Chapter 1315: Chapter 782: Lord and Lunar Temple Holy Maiden (Part 2)_1 Looking at Teresa’s astonished face as she slammed the table and stood up, Leo Ray still maintained a faint smile, not responding in a hurry, but raised his hand to signal Elusa to pour a cup of hot tea for her.
Teresa also realized that she had lost her composure and calmly sat back down in her chair.
“Your Excellency, isn’t your term ‘playing dirty’ a bit excessive?”
Seeing that Teresa’s emotional outburst had somewhat subsided, Leo Ray responded faintly, “My territory is currently in a state of disarray, yet you’ve led your troops to take advantage of the situation, attempting to reignite the flames of war and strife on this ravaged land. Isn’t that playing dirty?”
“The winner takes all. When the Saint Night Kingdom was weak, the Coldflame Kingdom also added fuel to the fire.”
On Teresa’s delicate and fair face, a calm expression reappeared, and she raised her eyebrows, “Facing a wounded and ferocious demon beast, delivering the final blow is just a display of mercy from our Saint Night Kingdom.”
“As expected of the Lunar Temple Holy Maiden, who holds half of the Saint Night Kingdom in her hands, your ability to twist words is truly admirable.”
Leo Ray’s expression remained calm, smiling as he said, “If that’s the case, then why do you label my countermeasures as ‘playing dirty’?”
“Mr. Ray, let’s stop the word games.”
Teresa snorted coldly, “Are you really planning to start a full-scale war between the human nations and my Dark Elf Kingdom?”
“Your Excellency, you’ve already put a sword to my neck. Can you really expect me to keep this millennia-old secret buried forever?”
Leo Ray shrugged his shoulders, appearing nonchalant.
It was only when she heard Leo Ray and Teresa’s conversation that Ariel Watson, who had been somewhat confused, finally understood.
The countermeasure Lord mentioned was to expose the secret that the Dark Elf Queen had been secretly protecting the Saint Night King for thousands of years.
As a member of the Coldflame Royal Family, Ariel Watson knew clearly.
Although the human nations continuously waged wars, deeply resenting each other, as humans, they shared a common trait – valuing their own bloodline, which is the pride of the human race and an essential means to consolidate power.
Not to mention the royal families at the top of the power pyramid, even the noble class below wouldn’t allow any foreign race to occupy a place.
This directly led to the fact that the half-elf tribe who fought alongside the ancestral Heroic King was ultimately stripped of its title under internal and external pressures, and eventually expelled from the kingdom.
In short, keeping other races out of the core ruling class has become a consensus among the human nations, and a bottom line that cannot be crossed.
Undoubtedly, the Saint Night Royal Family, which has always been under the protection of the Moon Palace, completely violates this principle.
With that said, things became very clear.
If Lord Ray were to expose the secret of the Dark Elf Queen’s assistance to the Saint Night Royal Family, the rule-breaking Saint Night Kingdom would immediately become the target of the human nations, and their extinction would be imminent.
However, due to the promise made by the Dark Elf Queen, the Dark Elf Kingdom would naturally not stand idly by, which is tantamount to igniting a full-scale war between the Dark Elf Kingdom and the human nations.
Even if the Dark Elf Kingdom is strong, it can’t possibly be a match for the entire human race, for the sheer number of human nations is incomparably larger than any foreign race, and that’s beyond doubt.
“As expected of Lord Ray, this is indeed a direct jab at the heart of the problem.”
Ariel Watson, feeling excited, cast an admiring glance at Leo Ray beside her.
However, Teresa, who was sitting across the dining table, had a growingly gloomy expression on her face.
As the chosen Lunar Temple Holy Maiden, Teresa understood clearly:
Besides upholding the authority of the Saint Night Royal Family, her primary mission was to protect the agreement between the Queen and the first ruler of Saint Night, even at the cost of her life.
If this secret were really leaked, regardless of the outcome of the war, her priest clan would likely be the first to be blamed by the Queen!
With this in mind, Teresa took a deep breath and coldly said to Leo Ray, “Mr. Ray, the only consequence of doing this is to completely ignite a devastating war between our Dark Elf Race and the human race. Can you bear this responsibility?”
“Your Excellency, you jest.”
Leo Ray lifted his glass, leisurely sipped on the champagne, and replied, “Remember, it is your Saint Night Kingdom that tried to bring war flames into my territory, causing my people to fall into the whirlpool of blood and fire, and my land to be engulfed in agony. I am simply returning the favor.”
“After my death, I won’t care about the ensuing chaos.”
Leo Ray put down the glass in his hand, his words suddenly resolute, “Since your Saint Night Kingdom is determined to destroy me, I will definitely drag you down with me, and of course, that includes your dear Dark Elf Kingdom!”
Looking at Leo Ray’s sharp, determined gaze, Teresa fell silent for a while, before finally revealing a helpless smile, “Mr. Ray, you are indeed no ordinary person. It seems I’ve underestimated your abilities.”
