Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong
Chapter 1736 - Chapter 1736 Chapter 992 Movements from All Sides

Chapter 1736: Chapter 992: Movements from All Sides Chapter 1736: Chapter 992: Movements from All Sides Two cold moons hung high in the sky, and the pitch-black curtain of night glittered with stars, making the whole night sky appear exceptionally dazzling and profound, as if countless pairs of eyes were silently watching over the Earth.

Beneath the chilly moonlight, the silhouette of a large city, which had just seen the last of its battle flames extinguished, emerged–it was Kael Castle, recently taken by Leo Ray.

This fortress city, nestled between two mountains, was deadly silent, entirely dark as if the entire city had fallen into a deep slumber.

Only the city walls and the magic spheres wandering within continued to shine, the glow emitted by patrolling teams.

Such a serene scene made it hard to imagine that not long ago, a life-and-death battle involving hundreds of thousands of soldiers had taken place here.

And yet, the air was still replete with the rich smell of blood and the putrid stench of char, stark reminders to all that the war clouds lingering over this land had not completely dispersed.

With the cold moon aloft, on a hidden mountain peak next to Kael Castle, two strangers draped in brown cloaks stood high above, silently gazing down at the grand city where the smoke of war was gradually fading.

Though these two deliberately concealed their presence, a dangerously potent aura still faintly radiated from them, causing the space around them to tremble.

This undoubtedly meant that both were national-level Tier 5 powerhouses.

“Who would have thought that Coldflame Kingdom’s fortress city, known as impregnable, still could not halt the steps of that Otherworldly Mr. Lane.”

A hoarse voice of an elder sounded, as the slightly shorter figure stood with hands clasped behind his back, deeply inhaling the air filled with the scent of blood, lamenting, “This Coldflame City, which has never been taken by outsiders, ultimately fell during a struggle for the throne among its own people–truly an ironic turn of events.”

“Your Excellency is correct, and even more unbelievable is that the Fourth Prince Faction, which initially had the upper hand and the support of the three great aristocratic families, was successfully breached by that Otherworldly Mr. Lane from within and overturned a situation of absolute disadvantage. It’s nothing short of a miracle, unprecedented in the history of human clan warfare.”

The robust figure with a burly build saluted, responding in a stable and deep voice, “There are plenty of lessons to be gleaned from this war; upon returning, I will be sure to lead a thorough analysis.”

“Good. However, your subject of analysis must not be limited to the war itself.”

The older and significantly more aged figure nodded at the burly figure, saying, “That guy is the real opponent we need to guard against.”

“Your Excellency, are you referring to that Otherworldly Mr. Lane?”

The burly figure quickly caught on, saluting again, “That Otherworldly Mr. Lane is indeed too low-key and inscrutable. By the time we truly took notice of him, he had already seized half of the Coldflame Kingdom.”

“Now, the entire Coldflame Kingdom is almost in his grasp.”

The aged figure nodded slightly, murmuring, “Had I not observed this grand city’s battle from start to finish personally, I would never have believed that Kael Castle could fall in such a manner, nor that the instigator behind it all was that Otherworldly Lord serving as the Princess’s Guest Official.”

“Defeating in quick succession two of the great aristocratic families’ armies, which even we are cautious to engage with, is he really just an Otherworldly Lord who has not long arrived?”

The burly figure nodded along, “Compared to those ordinary, weak Otherworldly Lords, he’s a complete cut above, not even on the same level.”

“Regardless, given his actions in supporting the Fifth Princess, his ambitions likely extend far beyond Coldflame Kingdom, and we must remain vigilant.”

The voice of the aged figure grew stern, barely audible, “We must not let him pose even the slightest threat to us, to the extent that preemptive action, however drastic, is warranted!”

As the aged figure finished speaking without waiting for the burly figure’s response, both turned their attention to the nearby forest depths, having evidently noticed something.

As their presence surged, a giant shield and battle spear appeared in the hands of the burly figure who intently eyed a sky-reaching tree and coldly called, “Who goes there?”

“Your Excellency, the Council Guard Captain need not be tense. I am merely passing by.”

A crisp voice rang out as a slender and tall figure in black emerged from the shadow of the big tree.

The cold moonlight revealed her masked face with a black veil, and beneath the veil, a delicate and fair complexion was faintly visible–it was Teresa, who had changed her disguise multiple times.

“The Lunar Temple Holy Maiden?”

The burly figure under the hooded cap looked dark, speaking coldly, “I didn’t expect you, a cunning woman, to be here as well.”

“The Council Guard Captain from the Orchid Federation can come, so why can’t I?”

Teresa, with her arms crossed, leaned against the big tree, raising an eyebrow as she then turned to address the older figure, “Your Excellency, the Chairman, I didn’t expect that even you would personally make the long journey here.”

“Heh, even though my Orchid Federation does not share a border with the Coldflame Kingdom, we know the importance of being vigilant. That young Otherworldly individual, whose fame is soaring, warrants a visit from this old man.”

The aged figure removed his hood, revealing a face crisscrossed with wrinkles and scars, nodding and smiling, then sharply changing the subject, “Saintess Madam, your art of stealth is indeed superb. You must have been eavesdropping here for quite some time, haven’t you?”
