Chapter 1710: Chapter 979: The Truth of Ten Years Ago_2 Chapter 1710: Chapter 979: The Truth of Ten Years Ago_2 Hearing Old Keene say this, Nolan’s unkempt face grew even paler as he said in disbelief, “Elder, are you saying that all of this was orchestrated by the Lancaster Clan themselves?”

“That is the only possibility.”

Keene nodded heavily and replied, “Kane’s iron-fisted methods of managing the clan were not only applied within the Lancaster Clan itself but also made the lives of the people in the territories miserable. This has long been an open secret in the Coldflame Kingdom.”

“And it is precisely because of this that Old Man Sanders and the Sanders legion under my command were quickly sent back to the Sanders Family by Kane, under the pretext of inadequate defense. I’m afraid this too was something Kane had calculated well in advance.”

“At that time, the war with the Grimm Kingdom was already drawing to a close, so naturally Kane would not allow an outsider like me to take credit for the accomplishments of the Lancaster Clan.”

Keene heaved a deep sigh, then shook his head helplessly, “Later, although I reported the whole situation to the family, it didn’t receive the attention it deserved, and in the end, it was just dropped.”

“So, that’s how it is.”

Ariel Watson furrowed her brows thoughtfully and nodded, “So after annihilating all the villagers of Sacred Remains Village, Kane not only found the Demonic Beast Bones, making you, Your Excellency Nolan, owe him a big favor, but he also conveniently drove Elder Keene’s legion out of the west–indeed, killing two birds with one stone.”

“Does that mean that the villagers of Sacred Remains Village all fell victim because of me?”

After listening to Keene’s description, Nolan froze for a moment, then clenched his fists tightly.

“In the years following the incident, as someone who had been secluded and earnestly cultivating in the local area, the more I understood the Human World, the more I felt something was off.”

“But when I considered Kane’s status and power, which could have easily resolved this matter, I didn’t think he would go to such lengths, so I didn’t pursue it any further–I had no idea Kane was capable of such heinous deeds!”

Nolan’s pale face was filled with indignation as he said, “What makes me the most furious is that after that incident, even though I repeatedly declined the luxuries and honors offered by Kane and seldom met with him, focusing on cultivation in the wilderness…”

“Every time I went into town for supplies, I almost always encountered someone from the Lancaster Clan, which led to an invitation from Kane. And every meeting, Kane would insinuate things about Sacred Remains Village, saying the people there were living well, almost as if he was taunting me, until this war broke out!”

At this point, Nolan’s expression was one of grinding anger as he continued, “That hypocrite has been deceiving me for ten years, even painting Mr. Lane as an utterly vile person, which eventually led me to agree to assist him in attacking Mr. Lane.”

“Perhaps it is precisely because Kane’s reach and influence are so vast that he could pull off such a scheme.”

Listening to the battle cries that still ravaged the surroundings, Leo Ray took a slow, deep breath and said solemnly, “The complexity of the human heart is far beyond what a straightforward and powerful hermit like you, who has only recently entered the Human World, could imagine.”

“Mr. Lane, you’re right. It was naive of me.”

Nolan shook his head helplessly, took a deep breath, and said, “Fortunately, on the way here, I heard many genuine accounts about you, Mr. Lane, and the Princess, and I came to know that you’re not as Kane had described.”

“Add to that your extraordinary strength and my junior sister’s full efforts to stop me–I came to my senses in the nick of time, avoiding a grave mistake.”

Nolan’s words conveyed a firmer tone, and he nodded emphatically to Leo Ray, “Mr. Lane, I have no more doubts in my mind, I am fully at your command!”

“Seeing you’ve found the truth, I too am greatly relieved.”

Looking at Nolan’s determined face, Leo Ray felt the weight in his heart finally settling, and he smiled faintly, “The current situation is very clear now. With your arrival, our side’s top combat power is already comparable to that of the enemy. At this stage, we just need to maintain the status quo and wait for the arrival of the reinforcements from outside the city before we give our all to break the Absolute Defense Barrier.”

“So, that’s how it is. Credit to you, Mr. Lane.”

Nolan said, enlightened, and pondered, “I’ve been out of touch for so long, and given our timely relocation just now, the enemy must have noticed something. Remaining unresponsive to their changes and leaving them baffled and wary is indeed the best choice to buy time.”

Listening to Leo Ray and Nolan’s conversation, Ariel Watson, the main force subordinates, and elders like Keene all nodded in agreement, their faces brightening with encouragement.

With Nolan’s addition and the imminent arrival of our one hundred thousand reinforcements, the scales of victory were undoubtedly starting to tip in our favor.

But just as everyone was buoyed by excitement, a suddenly mocking male voice arose out of nowhere: “Heh heh, despicable Otherworlder, playing quite the game, aren’t we?”

Hearing this, Nolan, with the greatest strength among them, had a stern look, quickly positioned himself in front of Leo Ray, and demanded towards the ruins ahead, “Who’s there?”

Where Nolan’s gaze fell, three figures slowly emerged from the darkness.
