Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 1787: Chapter 1117: Undercurrents at the Ceremony_2 Chapter 1787: Chapter 1117: Undercurrents at the Ceremony_2 Secondly, Leo Ray needs to find a way to recruit the Moon Chaser Clan to return to Coldflame Kingdom, further enhancing the overall strength of the kingdom.

Thus, having Half-Elves like Jasper Richardson and Belinda Wright hold senior positions in the Royal Family is proof enough that Leo Ray is not merely dreaming big.

Moreover, as the deputy commander of the territory, Belinda Wright has always performed excellently, managing everything in an orderly manner, and her commanded Half-Elf Archers have also achieved remarkable feats. In terms of capabilities, she is second to none.

As for the other four Kingdom Generals, Burt and Joshua need no further mentioning, always being the main force under Leo Ray’s command, while Hilda and Lord White have also proven their strength and loyalty, so there is no need for change.

As for Asher Porter, whose military achievements are also exceptional and who is an excellent commander, his contributions to administrative affairs are even more outstanding, playing an unmatched significant role.

Thus, Leo Ray plans to appoint Asher Porter as the Kingdom’s Prime Minister, to further assist Ariel Watson in governing the Coldflame Kingdom.

With the eight Kingdom Generals reinstated, the appointment of Asher Porter follows suit.

“Asher Porter of the Fengchi Family has been loyal to the Royal Family for generations, a man filled with wisdom and foresight, capable of great responsibilities; has established unprecedented merits for me, hence appointed as the Kingdom’s Prime Minister!”

Hearing this appointment, despite Leo Ray having somewhat revealed it in advance, Asher Porter’s determined face was still filled with overwhelming excitement, and he promptly stepped forward, deeply bowing to Ariel Watson: “Your servant is grateful, My King. Long live My King, may the heavens bless our King!”

It is known that he once left the Royal Capital as a mere court mage; who would have thought that upon his return, he would be appointed by Lord to such a high court position? How could this not thrill him enormously?

In his heart, although the words he shouted were for My King’s long life, the real king in his heart was naturally self-evident.

Afterward, according to Leo Ray’s intention, Ariel Watson sequentially appointed the Minister of Law, Finance Minister, and Royal Judge to Adam, Tran, and Moody Moon, three city lords of noble origin.

As for the Minister of Agriculture, Minister of Hunting, Forest Patrol Officer, Ceremonial Officer, Herald Officer, and Stable Master, these positions were all passed to other noble families loyal to the Royal Family.

These were the outcomes discussed by Ariel Watson and the Old King in the Dormant Illusionary Realm. With the Old King’s discernment, mistakes in seeing people were naturally impossible.

Besides, other key subordinates like Gideon Black, Sarah Shawn, Scarlett, Gals, Randall, Leah, and Lina, Leo Ray still needs to keep by his side, though not holding specific official titles, they were all titled as mid-level or higher Coldflame Nobles.

As for other subordinates within the territory, there’s no need for Ariel Watson to appoint each one; as Duke, Leo Ray can make the appointments himself.

In other words, the entire Coldflame Eastern Region has essentially become a principality ruled by Leo Ray, it’s just that Leo Ray couldn’t possibly focus his energy on this alone.

“I also have Xenia Blackwood, Bella White, Bran, Mel, Nathan Howard, Ned Nathan, Matthew, Rita, Reece, Rhizoma Drynariae, Walter Mason, Earl Jenkins, Oliver Montgomery, Woodward Brown, Celia, Donna, Tina, Tia, Layne, and Keller, among others to assist, along with main force subordinates and territory subordinates, controlling the Eastern Region naturally poses no issue.”

Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully, pondering in his mind.

“The Northern Territory is overseen by Caroline, a host of Northern Territory Lords, and Crystal Blue City; Cold Flame Western Region by Isaac of the Lancaster clan; and the Southern Region by Kelson of the Yorkman clan, all without any issues.”

“Meanwhile, I will also gradually dispatch some capable direct subordinates to these two major aristocratic families’ controlled areas, in the name of the Royal Family, to further enhance control over these regions.”

“As for the Central Region where the Royal Capital is located, led by Linda of the Sanders and assisted by Asher and others, it will also soon stabilize.”

Leo Ray took a deep breath, his eyes shining.

Ariel Watson has been successfully crowned; there’s no need for me to worry about other regions.

Thus, I can fully focus on strengthening my own power swiftly.

“Besides bringing back the Moon Chaser Clan and drawing in small and medium neutral forces, I need to urgently upgrade all the treasure vaults of the Coldflame Royal Family and the Three Great Aristocratic Families.”

“Also, proceeding to reequip the legions in various areas in bulk and then upgrading the equipment replaced.”

“Indeed, resources required for the Lord’s Mansion and the Territory Miracle Building should be searched for as soon as possible; the development of the territory must not fall behind.”

Leo Ray’s gaze shifted, then landed on the diplomats from various nations in the hall, who looked composed.

“Apart from the Ironhand Archipelago, which has ceased relations with the Human various countries, are representatives from the Pars Empire, Grimm Kingdom, Prairie Kingdom, Saint Night Kingdom, and Orchid Federation all present here?”

Leo Ray’s expression remained calm, yet his heart grew increasingly heavy.

You must know, behind each person here is a nation capable of easily assembling a million-strong army, with an overall national strength surpassing that of the present Coldflame Kingdom.

With his own and the current strength of the entire Coldflame Kingdom, focusing on just one of these could possibly preserve them; however, if two nations attacked simultaneously, engaging in a two-front war, the outcome would be uncertain.

Should three nations attack simultaneously with the full force of their nations, given the current forces at the major border fortresses, they would probably break through quickly, with absolutely no suspense.

By then, the situation would naturally speak for itself, and the Coldflame Kingdom and its territory would face complete destruction.

What if the situation turns even more dire? How should he respond then?

Moreover, it’s still unknown whether the relentlessly vengeful Black Abyss Brotherhood has taken control of other royal families or if they would exploit the situation.

“Probably within a day or two, new information will emerge. Even if the enemy acts covertly, the mobilization of a large army is absolutely impossible to occur without a trace.”

“After all, the three great aristocratic families and the royal family have a well-established intelligence network; as soon as the enemy makes a move, I will be the first to know.”

Reflecting on this, Leo Ray, who had a thorough understanding of the current crisis, took a deep breath.

War is inevitable, and when the enemy strikes, they will draw blood; there is not much time left for him.

Just as Leo Ray thought of this, the grand coronation ceremony had already come to an end.

Ariel Watson, escorted by Xenia Blackwood, Jasper Richardson, and others, began to slowly leave the venue, while the guests naturally bowed once again to show their due respect to the new Coldflame Queen.

As Ariel Watson disappeared at the end of the grand hall, the guests began to leave the hall in an orderly fashion, guided by the royal ceremonial guards.

During this process, some Coldflame nobles wanted to further network with Leo Ray, but by the time they reached the chief seats, Leo Ray was already nowhere to be seen.

“Lord, did my performance just now suffice?”

In the extremely luxurious king-specific rest room of the Lion Castle, Ariel Watson, now dressed in a simple skirt, was snuggling up to Leo Ray’s shoulder, her face showing a clingy demeanor, long lost the majesty and grace of a queen.

Ariel Watson blinked her long eyelashes and seriously said to Leo Ray, “When you were conferring titles on me, my heart was so nervous; I was afraid you wouldn’t be satisfied, my Lord.”

“I am very satisfied; your performance today was also excellent.”

Leo Ray casually stroked Ariel Watson’s head, smiling and said: “My little princess has finally grown into the queen of a nation.”

“It’s all thanks to Lord. Without your help, how could I have achieved this today?”

Ariel Watson burrowed into Leo Ray’s embrace, her starry eyes reflecting unwavering determination: “As long as I have the Lord by my side, I will fear nothing!”

Having said that, Ariel Watson seemed to realize something, quickly straightening up, and spoke earnestly to Leo Ray: “Lord, I know we don’t have much time left to prepare. Those predator nations will soon make their move against us, how should we respond next?”
