Chapter 1099 - 1099 672 Illusionist Under the Moonlight_1

Chapter 1099: Chapter 672: Illusionist Under the Moonlight_1 Chapter 1099: Chapter 672: Illusionist Under the Moonlight_1 Brocade Winthrop noticed his wrist, where a delicate golden bracelet embedded with a pale blue gemstone, was trembling slightly and emitting a faint blue glow.

It was this that caught his attention.

However, due to Brocade Winthrop’s perfect disguise created by his illusion technique, the White Knight did not notice this.

“Why is the Azure Resonance Stone resonating at this time?”

Feeling surprised but calm, Brocade Winthrop pondered silently: “Or in other words, how did that girl Olivia suddenly appear near the battlefield?”

“Could it be that the illusionist disguised as Mr. Lane is Olivia? No, it’s impossible. It hasn’t been that many years, and her progress wouldn’t be so rapid, would it? But if it’s not her, then why would she activate the Resonance Stone at this time to see me? How did she know I was here?”

While Brocade Winthrop was wondering this in his heart.

The White Knight at the top seat had apparently noticed the change in his behavior and curiously asked, “What happened?”

“Nothing, I was just lost in thought.”

Brocade Winthrop’s face showed no emotion, responding with a light smile.

“It seems you are worried about the future battle situation, aren’t you?”

The White Knight seemingly misunderstood and shook his head helplessly, “The sudden appearance of the Nightmare Knight is indeed beyond expectation. Furthermore, the aggressiveness of the Lord of Cyan City has completely disrupted our original plans.”

“White Knight, in the current battle situation, who do you think poses a greater threat between the two?”

Brocade Winthrop tilted his head slightly and looked at the White Knight in his pure white armor, asking with interest.

“Who poses a greater threat?”

The White Knight answered without hesitation: “Naturally, it is the New Noble Forces led by the Nightmare Knight. After all, they have one Tier 5 Powerhouse, five Tier 4 Powerhouses, and nearly five legions of soldiers.”

Pausing for a moment, the White Knight added: “However, fortunately, the Nightmare Knight overestimated his own abilities on the battlefield today, and has suffered significant losses. I suppose he won’t be too reckless? With your assistance, I still have confidence in annihilating the enemy completely.”

“What if the Nightmare Knight has other powerful trump cards or reinforcements that are as powerful as Tier 5 powerhouses?”

Brocade Winthrop raised his eyebrows and continued asking, “Given the current situation, everything is possible.”

“You are right. There must be a powerful force backing the Second Prince. Once they gain control of the Eastern Region, it will undoubtedly give the controller a great advantage in the future struggle for the throne. Otherwise, the Crown Prince wouldn’t have sent us here.”

The White Knight rubbed the lower part of his helmet, pondering, “If the situation develops in a worse direction, I can only request the Crown Prince to dispatch powerful reinforcements.”

“Powerful reinforcements?”

Brocade Winthrop furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “Are you talking about the mysterious and enigmatic Black Duke who suddenly appeared in the Royal Capital and actively assisted the Crown Prince?”

“That’s right, the Black Duke.”

The White Knight nodded, replying, “Although I don’t know the origin of the Black Duke, I can’t see through his strength, and I can vaguely feel an extremely dangerous aura from him.”

“I didn’t expect that even you, a Tier 5 Third Star, would be unable to fathom the depth of the Black Duke.”

Brocade Winthrop held his chin with one hand, took a deep breath of the slightly damp air in the room, and said thoughtfully, “Moreover, being able to gain the trust of the extremely cautious and suspicious Crown Prince, this person is truly extraordinary.”

At this point, Brocade Winthrop changed the subject and asked with a raised eyebrow: “By the way, compared to the Nightmare Knight’s side, is there no threat from the Fifth Princess and the Princess’s Guest Official?”

“Compared to the Nightmare Knight, I think the threat is smaller.”

The crisp sound of armor clashing echoed as the slightly numb White Knight stood up from his seat and paced slowly, “After all, even with the best defense measures in Cyan Town, there can only be a few thousand soldiers.”

“Moreover, the Giant Axe General and Holy Light General who follow the Fifth Princess are both respected high-ranked commanders of Coldflame, but without soldiers, everything is just empty talk.”

“As for the Lord of Cyan City who claims to be the Princess’s Guest Official, it has long been rumored that he is just an Otherworldly Lord who has not been here for long. Even if he managed to gain the loyalty of a Tier 5 Powerhouse, I do not believe he has much power.”

“After all, he has only been in this world for a short time. It’s difficult for him to contend with noble families who have operated in their territories for centuries. To describe him as overestimating his abilities is being kind, and I don’t think he’s capable of it.”

With a hint of disdain in his tone, the White Knight continued, “So, I think your intuition is ultimately just intuition. The Princess’s Guest Official is unlikely to compete with other princes. He’s just struggling in vain for survival or, perhaps, he simply doesn’t have the guts.”

“That makes sense. On the battlefield, a Tier 5 Powerhouse will eventually reach their limits no matter how strong they are. The powerful battle formations formed by Tier 1 Ordinary Soldiers after rigorous training can display strength that is not inferior to a Tier 5 Powerhouse of the same level, if not stronger.”
