Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong
Chapter 1640 - Chapter 1640 Chapter 943 The Unexpected Hidden Card_2

Chapter 1640: Chapter 943: The Unexpected Hidden Card_2 Chapter 1640: Chapter 943: The Unexpected Hidden Card_2 “Although the 10 main forces corps of the Sanders family are barely on par with the enemy in terms of overall strength, their battle experience is far inferior to the enemy’s.”

Gideon Black maintained a respectful posture and frowned, “With the troops we have at hand, it will be extremely difficult to determine the outcome in just two days against such a powerful force.”

Upon hearing Gideon’s words, the others couldn’t help but frown as well.

As Gideon had said, in the upcoming battle, the enemy was a formidable force that they had never encountered before in terms of both quality and quantity.

“That’s right, as I mentioned earlier, this is bound to be a tough battle, but we have no other choice but to face it.”

Leo Ray’s face was full of determination as he looked at his subordinates one by one.

“Moreover, don’t forget that we have an opportunity to attack the Sanders family’s army first, which will at least give us control of the battle’s direction from the outset.”

“Further, after so many trials of blood and fire, we are no longer the same as before.”

Upon saying this, Leo Ray nodded to his subordinates and said, “As long as we work together, we can touch the light of victory!”

Upon hearing Leo Ray’s words, the furrowed brows of his subordinates relaxed, and they nodded in agreement.

“Gideon, have you obtained any more intel from Harrison?”

Leo Ray turned his attention back to the muscular priest and asked further.

“My Lord, I have gathered some information about the Fourth Prince himself.”

Gideon adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and bowed, “He is far more mysterious than we thought, even the observant Harrison has very limited knowledge about him.”

“Oh?”

Leo Ray became interested in this and immediately asked, “Tell me more.”

“My Lord, the reason the Fourth Prince was able to unite the three great aristocratic families is that he promised them extraordinary benefits, including half of the Coldflame Kingdom’s territories.”

Gideon frowned again and answered respectfully, “That is why the three great aristocratic families chose to pledge allegiance to the Fourth Prince.”

“Giving away half of the kingdom? What on earth is he thinking? That’s like handing the Coldflame Kingdom to the three great aristocratic families!”

Hearing Gideon’s words, Ariel Watson exclaimed in astonishment.

“You should know that the three great aristocratic families of Coldflame already occupy half of the kingdom.”

“This has caused several generations of rulers, including my father, to be constantly on edge. But due to the previous rulers’ incompetence, my father could not turn the tide, which is why he set his sights on reclaiming the Northern Territory.”

“In the current situation, if we give away half of the territories under the royal family’s control, wouldn’t that mean the three great aristocratic families will occupy three-quarters of the Coldflame Kingdom?”

Ariel crossed her arms and furrowed her brows, “You should know that the reason the three great aristocratic families have maintained peace with the royal family is because of the balance of power between them. If these families continue to expand their sphere of influence, the existing balance will be broken, and the outcome would be unimaginable!”

“That’s true, but the Fourth Prince is not a fool. He must be aware of what we can think of.”

Leo Ray gently patted Ariel’s shoulder and smiled, “The reason he would do this is that he probably has at least two cards up his sleeve.”

“Two cards?”

Ariel’s fair face showed curiosity as she asked, “My Lord, what exactly are his tricks?”

“The first one is quite easy to understand.”

Leo Ray smiled faintly at Ariel and analyzed, “The Fourth Prince is confident that he can continue to maneuver between the three great aristocratic families, causing them to restrain each other once again and eventually reaching a new balance.”

“No wonder you are the Lord, Sir. Lord Harrison and the other two major aristocratic family heads also understand it this way.”

Gideon Black’s respectful voice then came through.

“However, Harrison also clearly understands that the Fourth Prince, although meticulous and bold, is still young after all.”

“Once they truly achieve victory, the three great aristocratic families will become even stronger, and at that time, the Fourth Prince will not be able to control them. But at least at the current stage, the three great aristocratic families still need to restrain their ambitions and gather around the Fourth Prince.”

After listening to Gideon Black’s addition, Ariel Watson thoughtfully nodded her head and said, “So, is it a mutually exploitative relationship between the Fourth Prince and the three great aristocratic families at the moment?”

“That’s right, and both sides believe they have a handle on each other.”

Leo Ray nodded and then couldn’t help but curl his lips: “The most crucial point is that until they defeat us, this mutually exploitative relationship is undoubtedly unbreakable.”

“Indeed, Lord is wise in advance to control the Sanders family.”

Ariel followed with a nod and continued to ask, “Lord, what is the second dependency of the Fourth Prince you mentioned?”

“The best way to control the situation is, of course, a combination of soft and hard methods. If balancing can be seen as the ‘soft’ in the combination of soft and hard, then the undoubted ‘hard’ factor would be one’s own strength.”

Leo Ray snapped his fingers and replied, “In other words, aside from the three great aristocratic families, the Fourth Prince must also have some hidden cards that could deter the three great aristocratic families.”

“Lord, are you saying that the Fourth Prince’s subordinates do not only consist of the three great aristocratic families but also the help of other hidden forces or some terrifying trump cards?”

Ariel’s starry eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

“That’s right, after all, attracting the three great aristocratic families who covet royal power is an extremely risky move in itself.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, affirming, “So I speculate that what the Fourth Prince relies on is definitely not just the three great aristocratic families.”

“No wonder you are the Lord, Sir. You are indeed insightful!”

Gideon Black stepped forward, his face full of admiration, “Not to conceal it from the Lord, this is precisely the information on the Fourth Prince that I will describe next.”

“Last night, before Harrison left the Fourth Prince’s secret palace, the Fourth Prince lent Harrison a secret trump card in case of emergencies.”

“When Harrison received this secret trump card, he was truly shocked and then stored it in his storage ring.”

“However, due to Harrison’s arrogance, thinking that the gravity-imprisonment barrier would be enough to bring us down, he never had the chance to use it. It wasn’t until Lord took it secretly that Harrison came to regret it.”

Upon hearing Gideon Black’s words, Ariel’s white face became increasingly curious, asking, “Even Harrison was shocked? What is the trump card the Fourth Prince gave him?”

“It is a Tier 5 Alchemy Puppet.”

Gideon Black took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Moreover, it uses extremely rare alchemy materials that can withstand most Tier 5 magic attacks.”

“A Tier 5 Alchemy Puppet?!”

Upon hearing this, Ariel’s face was full of astonishment, murmuring, “You know, even our Coldflame Royal Family has never owned a Tier 5 Alchemy Puppet. How did the Fourth Prince get one?”

“What’s more important is that since the Fourth Prince was able to give Harrison one for self-defense, it means that he must have other Alchemy Puppets of the same strength. Otherwise, he would never easily bring them out.”

Leo Ray also took a deep breath, frowning, “This guy is really hiding his true self.”

As Leo Ray finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became heavy again.

Alchemy Puppets already possess extremely strong self-healing abilities, and an existence comparable to a Tier 5 powerhouse is indeed very tricky to deal with.

Amid the astonishment in his heart, a touch of curiosity couldn’t help but emerge on Leo Ray’s face.
