Chapter 1111: Chapter 678: The Lord in the Hall and the Returned Message_1 Chapter 1111: Chapter 678: The Lord in the Hall and the Returned Message_1 “My Lord, the situation is as follows.”

On the other end of the mind talk, Stella Clark took a deep breath and began to describe in detail.

Through Stella’s description, Leo Ray learned that:

It turned out that the three infantry legions of the Second Prince’s forces did not choose to settle down and recuperate after arriving at the temporary camp where Nightmare Knight had retreated, like the White Knight did.

Instead, they marched directly towards Cyan Town.

What’s puzzling was that their marching route was extremely close to the White Knight’s temporary camp, which was converted from a village, almost right under the enemy’s nose.

“Understood, continue your observation.”

After listening to Stella’s report, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.

As Leo Ray closed the mind talk,

Ariel Watson’s anxious voice sounded beside him: “My Lord, could it be that the Nightmare Knight intends to join forces with the White Knight and strike us first?”

“The probability of that is almost zero.”

Leo Ray looked at the large sand table in front of him and shook his head: “If they really want to do that, they wouldn’t be so obvious and let us be prepared.”

“My Lord’s words are very true.”

Burt stroked his white beard, his old but resolute face full of seriousness, and echoed: “Given the hostility between the two princes, it is impossible for them to choose to cooperate under the minimal threat on the surface of the territory.”

“Elder Burt is right. Fortunately, My Lord’s foresight, from the very beginning, did not show all our strength and managed to hide the vast majority of our territory’s power perfectly. Otherwise, we could not rule out this possibility.”

Joshua gently rubbed his fair chin and frowned, “Furthermore, as My Lord has said, if these two truly wanted to cooperate, there would be no need to join forces in one place. They could just squeeze us in a pincer attack like the two claws of the Emperor Raging Crab, making the territory and Cyan Town unable to help each other.”

“So that’s it.”

Ariel Watson nodded thoughtfully, her face seemed to clear up.

However, soon after, she blinked her long eyelashes and asked in confusion, “But why would Nightmare Knight deliberately lead his army past White Knight’s camp? Isn’t that giving the White Knight the opportunity to catch them off guard?”

“On the contrary.”

Leo Ray stared at the sand table, at the White Knight’s temporary camp located southwest of Cyan Town, and contemplated, “I think this is exactly what the Nightmare Knight intended to do.”

“It was on purpose?”

The confusion on Ariel Watson’s delicate face became more apparent.

After a while, she finally realized, and suddenly asked: “My Lord, are you saying that Nightmare Knight was purposely selling a flaw to lure the White Knight into attacking?”

“Exactly.”

Leo Ray nodded without hesitation and replied, “Only in this way can the reason for Nightmare Knight’s actions be explained.”

“My Lord’s analysis is well-founded.”

Burt’s old face was full of agreement and he added, “That Nightmare Knight must have been well-prepared to deliberately pass by White Knight’s camp.”

“But judging from the battle situation yesterday, Nightmare Knight did not seem to have the upper hand against the White Knight.”

A.R. Watson crossed her arms, her eyebrows knitted together, “And the White Knight is an extremely skilled Tier 5 Powerhouse in charge. Exposing his infantry legions to such a powerful national general would be like seeking death, wouldn’t it?”

“Princess, the situation is not as simple as you think.”

Joshua also knitted his brows, nodded thoughtfully, and then suddenly realized: “Oh, I see!”

“Joshua, you must have thought that Nightmare Knight deliberately hid some of his power in yesterday’s contest, right?”

Looking at the Queen’s General’s suddenly enlightened expression, Leo Ray smiled faintly.

“My Lord, that’s exactly right.”

Joshua put his hand on his chest and bowed, his fair face still frowning, and replied, “During the battle yesterday, I felt something was off. Although Nightmare Knight and White Knight fought back and forth and took control of the battlefield several times, the Nightmare Knight seemed a bit relaxed.”

“Whether it was the Titan Undead, one of his hidden trump cards that was completely defeated by White Knight, or those surrounded new aristocracy soldiers, Nightmare Knight seemed to not care at all.”

Joshua said this, her eyebrows almost twisted into knots, and summarized: “To sum up, Nightmare Knight’s face-to-face confrontation with White Knight yesterday was more like a test than a contest, just to probe White Knight’s true strength.”

“So that’s how it is…”

Ariel Watson held a steaming cup of black tea in her hands and exclaimed incredulously, “But looking at the final result, White Knight still won, didn’t he? Nightmare Knight’s actions seemed to be counterproductive.”

“Princess, the situation isn’t that simple.”

Burt’s face was full of solemnity, and he slowly said, “If things are really like this, although Nightmare Knight did retreat in the end, it turned out that he achieved his strategic goal.”
