Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong
Chapter 1751 - Chapter 1751 Chapter 999 King without a crown_2

Chapter 1751: Chapter 999 King without a crown_2 Chapter 1751: Chapter 999 King without a crown_2 Leo Ray furrowed his brows, but then he let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, in addition to that, he still had control over 15 Commercial Land legions and 10 direct subordinate legions quelling the last of the power struggles, not to mention the recently captured soldiers from the fallen nobility.

Bryan Nelsen also held 20 legions directly affiliated with the Royal Family, ready to be mobilized at any time.

Most crucially, the land of the Coldflame Kingdom was fertile, with an extremely abundant food reserve excluding the Northern Territory.

With Xenia Blackwood’s latest development of the magic wheat variety, they could significantly increase the food production, so there was no need to worry about grain and fodder.

“Of course, in the process, new soldiers are continuously being recruited throughout the Coldflame Kingdom. Although their role is limited, they still represent a force,” Leo said.

Leo gripped the command stick tightly, his eyes bright and determined.

These new recruits would be equipped directly with the finest Tier 2 Equipment, while the other veteran legions would upgrade to complete Tier 3 Equipment.

After the battle at Kael Castle, the Tier 3 Equipment in Leo’s warehouse was sufficient to easily equip a million-strong army.

To conceal his strength and not further provoke the surrounding kingdoms, Leo naturally wouldn’t make such a high-profile move initially.

But should a real crisis arise, outfitting every soldier of the Coldflame Kingdom with Tier 3 Equipment was certainly possible.

Just as Leo thought of this, the Mind Talk prompt suddenly rang out.

After connecting, he instantly heard Linda’s excited voice, which was transmitted through the speaker.

“Reporting to Lord, my forces along with General Benson’s have rendezvoused with Mr. Nelsen’s Royal Army Corps, and we have captured the last city of the corrupt nobles. Now, the entire Coldflame Kingdom is adorned with Lord’s Shadow Lord Flags; everything is under the Lord’s control!”

Upon hearing Linda’s words, all the subordinates in the room were thrilled, cheering and leaping with joy.

After enduring a series of grand battles and surviving deadly crises one after the other, Lord had become the uncrowned king of this Human Kingdom!

In the midst of this, Ariel Watson, with a rapturous expression on her fair face, tightly embraced Leo’s arm.

“Everyone, although the path ahead is still fraught with thorns, let’s remember this moment because our earnest efforts and battle have finally been rewarded. This is our glorious beginning, but it will certainly not be the end.”

Feeling equally exhilarated, Leo took a deep breath, trying to calm the excitement in his heart.

Starting from a humble wooden hut in the forest, he had finally expanded his influence to the pinnacle of power in this kingdom!

Amidst the excitement, Leo, looking at his subordinates embracing each other in a frenzy of celebration, smiled and said, “Starting today, the Territory will hold grand celebrations. This is the reward you all deserve. Roger Smith and Belinda Wright will make the arrangements. I’ll particularly provide plenty of Gold Dragons, high-level equipment, and magic medicines as rewards for the event.”

With that said, Leo’s demeanor became formal again, and he declared firmly, “We have come through fire, and we shall be invincible!”

“We have come through fire, and we shall be invincible!”

The subordinates’ cheers immediately filled the entire hall, bringing the heated atmosphere to its peak.

Knowing that time was pressing, Leo immediately began discussions with Linda and Benson, consulting with Bryan on organizing a triumphal ceremony.

After a series of power disputes, the Royal Capital was already jittery and tense, and a grand triumphal ceremony was undoubtedly the best way to uplift spirits.

As Bryan had already prepared everything in advance, the conversation went very smoothly.

“Mr. Nelsen, let’s proceed with that plan. I want the nobles and citizens of the Royal Capital to clearly understand that the chaos is over, and their king is back.”

Leo quickly finalized the time for the triumphal ceremony with Bryan, setting it at noon the following day, when the sun was at its hottest, symbolizing the fiery victory.

“Understood, Mr. Lane. After such a long time of turmoil and anxiety, it is time for the Royal Capital to welcome the true dawn.”

Bryan Nelsen’s exhilarated voice soon transmitted through Linda’s mind talk: “Please rest assured, Mr. Lane and your Highness Princess, leave everything to this old minister.”

After closing the mind talk, Leo Ray and Ariel Watson exchanged glances, both clearly unable to contain the excitement reflected in each other’s eyes.

Initially, they were merely defending a corner of Cyan Town, and now they were just a step away from the Royal Capital!

In his excitement, Leo Ray immediately began to make arrangements for the triumph ceremony.

Since the Commercial Land Army led by Linda and General Bansen’s direct legion were already very close to the Royal Capital,

Leo Ray ordered both to each dispatch elite soldiers, totaling five elite legions, to accompany him and Ariel Watson to the triumph ceremony.

After all, with the forces of 25 legions, Leo Ray naturally couldn’t bring so many soldiers into the city together; otherwise, the triumph ceremony might last several days.

In addition, Leo Ray would also bring all Tier 4 and above main force subordinates from his territory, along with some Tier 3 squadrons.

These were all symbols of elite strength that naturally needed to be shown off to let the nobles and citizens attending the triumph ceremony marvel at them.

It’s worth mentioning that after several days of alchemy by Joshua Bingaman and Orion Wolfe, Leo Ray had advanced 6 of the Tier 2 Elite Squadrons in his territory to Tier 3.

With an increasingly stocked equipment storage, Leo Ray also upgraded all squadrons within his territory to Tier 4 equipment, further enhancing the overall strength of his territory.

At the end of his arrangements, Leo Ray had Jasper Richardson set up a teleportation network in the city nearest the Royal Capital to facilitate timely attendance at the ceremony by himself and Ariel Watson.

During this process, Leo Ray also took the opportunity to invite Caroline, Hilda, Lord White, and two soon-to-be household heads from noble families, along with other Shanglu Elders, to further increase his and Ariel Watson’s authority.

Having deployed everything, Leo Ray took a deep breath.

At this point, all that remained was waiting for tomorrow’s triumph ceremony.

After the triumph ceremony would naturally be Ariel Watson’s coronation.

It must be said, being able to personally see this Princess of Coldflame ascend to the throne was indeed a greatly fulfilling act.

“After Ariel’s coronation, she’ll definitely have to live in the royal palace, but with the teleportation network’s help, all of this won’t be a problem.”

“Whether as a princess or the soon-to-be-queen, everything about her is mine, and that’s all there is to it.”

Leo Ray gently raised an eyebrow, then immediately plunged into celebration with his subordinates.

…

The next day, at noon, in the Royal Capital of Coldflame Kingdom, Lion City.

Bathed in the light of two brilliant suns, this immense and majestic capital city, enveloped in holy light, quietly stood on a verdant plain.

Located in the core of Central Coldflame, Lion City had roads extending in all directions, with the Protective City River alone being more than a hundred meters wide and the continuous city walls extremely towering, awe-inspiring to behold.

It is said that when the King of Heroes built Lion City years ago, he had the assistance of over ten Tier 5 magic powerhouses, including even a mysterious Foreign Race strong man, making this Coldflame’s premier city nearly impregnable.

On every side of Lion City’s walls flew the Gold Dragon flags representing the Royal Family, and the presence of Royal Family soldiers was overwhelming, their eyes sharp and vigilant, peering keenly from their helmets, watching every corner both inside and outside the city.

At the vast eastern city gate of the capital, a sea of people had already formed, even extending hundreds of meters outward, packed shoulder to shoulder yet orderly.

Every single person’s gaze was intensely fixed on the direction of the road’s end, filled with uncontrollable urgency and excitement.

That was precisely where Leo Ray and Ariel Watson were about to arrive.
