Chapter 1132: Chapter 688: Princess and Knight_2 Chapter 1132: Chapter 688: Princess and Knight_2 âWithout air superiority, it indeed causes me quite a bit of trouble.â
Leo Ray stared intently at the situation in the sky, murmuring to himself.
High up in the sky, the Pterosaur Knights with oil on their wings fled very quickly.
As a result, the White Knight, who had risen into the air, did not continue his pursuit, but began to descend.
After all, the White Knight was well aware that once he temporarily left the battlefield, the Magic Breakers would not be far from being destroyed.
âThe White Knightâs strength is a notch above the Red Night, and with his clever mind, he really is a tough opponent.â
Seeing the White Knight slowly descending, Leo Ray couldnât help but shake his head helplessly.
However, Leo Ray did not let Sean and the others idle, and instead, had them support Cyan Town.
Since this trump card had already been revealed, it must be used to its fullest potential.
On the other side of the battlefield, after the White Knight had descended halfway up in the sky.
At his signal, the magic cannon attacks on the territory temporarily ceased, and the smoke-filled battlefield resumed a brief calm.
âPrincess, may we have a talk?â
A loud voice rang out.
The White Knight finally stopped not far above the western city wall of the territory and spoke loudly.
Hearing this, Ariel Watson looked at Leo Ray, obviously waiting for the Lordâs command.
âGo ahead, see what he wants to say, and besides, from the current situation, delaying some time is not a bad thing for us.â
Leo Ray nodded to Ariel Watson with approval.
âYes, my Lord.â
After getting Leo Rayâs approval, Ariel Watson first put on the delicate crown symbolizing the Coldflame Fifth Princess, and then soared into the sky, finally stopping at the edge of the absolute defense result.
Immediately following, several floating magic spheres lit up, completely illuminating Ariel Watsonâs slender figure.
Under the cold moonlit night, the night breeze blew, and Ariel, dressed in a tight suit, had her ponytail gently dancing.
Combined with her fair and dignified face, she exuded a resolute yet noble aura, which can be said to be maxed out.
âYour servant pays his respects to the Princess.â
Seeing Arielâs figure, the White Knight, riding on a Pegasus puppet, performed a chest salute and then said, âPlease forgive your servant for meeting you in such a state; he had no choice but to do so.â
âWhite Knight, do not be polite; since you have chosen to meet me with swords and guns on the battlefield, there is no need for such etiquette.â
Ariel waved her hand expressionlessly, and spoke faintly.
âYour Highnessâ words are too harsh. Your servant is only following the Great Princeâs orders to take you safely back to the Royal Capital and has no other intentions. Please forgive me if there is any disrespect.â
The White Knight maintained a respectful posture, responding.
âThe Great Princeâs command? If I remember correctly, my father has not yet established a crown prince, has he?â
Arielâs eyebrows furrowed, her voice becoming more severe as she questioned, âNow that the old king of Coldflame is still alive, you, as a guardian of our Coldflame Royal Family, have openly sided with the Great Prince. Where do you place the honor of a knight and the oath you once swore?â
âYour Highness, there is no need to attack your servant with these grandiose words. Since your servant chose to stand on the side of the Crown Prince, he has already made up his mind.âThe White Knightâs voice was devoid of any fluctuations, âHis Majesty the old King has been in a coma for quite some time, and the Coldflame Kingdom desperately needs a new king. Since no one can reach an agreement on who it should be, I am willing to take the risk and contribute to the glory of the Coldflame Royal Family.â
Pausing for a moment, the White Knight added, âAmong the princes, the Crown Prince is undoubtedly the best choice for the throne.â
As soon as the White Knight finished speaking, the traditional nobles behind him burst into thunderous cheers and applause.
âCondoning the restoration of serfdom, neglecting the safety of civilians, allowing the Saint Night Army to attack the Mountain Fortress, and turning our homeland into a battlefield⊠Is this the glory of the Coldflame Royal Family you speak of?â
Ariel Watsonâs face was stern and she coldly said, âOur Coldflame Royal Family has no such glory!â
âYour Highness, I didnât invite you out to argue. As long as you choose to give up resistance, I wonât harm you in the slightest.â
The White Knight still spoke in his calm tone, âI assume you can see the current situation. If you continue to resist, both you and this territory will eventually be consumed by flames.â
âWhite Knight, give up this thought. Everyone in this territory is truly fighting for the future of the Coldflame Kingdom. Most of them donât even belong to this kingdom, but they are still committed to the cause.â
Arielâs voice was firm, and the delicate crown on her head shimmered in the moonlight, âYet you, who claim to be the guardians of the kingdom, turn a blind eye to all of this and still try to coerce us. Who is the one with the true noble intentions?â
After listening to Arielâs words, the White Knight fell silent for a moment.
After a while, the White Knight shook his head and said, âYour Highness, it seems that you have been deeply influenced by the deceit of the Lord of Cyan City. How can those humble Otherworlders be easily trusted?â
âManipulation? Is this the excuse you find for your own inaction?â
Arielâs eyebrows furrowed, and she refuted fiercely, âWhen the Mountain Fortress was about to fall, it was the humble Otherworlders you speak of who risked their lives to save the lives of 30,000 border soldiers and countless civilians. Where were you, the so-called traditional Coldflame guardians, at that time?â
âYou should know that behind the Mountain Fortress are your own territories, the traditional nobles. Yet you chose to ignore the plight and tried to use the fortress to wear down the Saint Night Army in order to reap the benefits.â
At this point, Arielâs crisp and dignified voice grew even more resolute.
âYour ancestors, the traditional nobles, were once the heroes who followed His Majesty the Heroic King in countless wars and expansions, saving countless civilians from peril. Only then were they granted a territory, and they continued to fulfill their duties as guardians and maintain the honor of being warriors.â
âBut now, you have abandoned everything your ancestors created and lost yourselves in the whirlpool of power and extravagance.â
Arielâs eyes blazed as she asked, âHave you no shame for discarding your ancestorsâ teachings and tarnishing the family crest that symbolizes your honor?â
After listening to Arielâs words, the commanders of the traditional nobles who showed murderous intent couldnât help but hesitate.
However, the momentary doubt on their faces was soon replaced by murderous fury and ferocity once again.
If the Crown Prince cannot ascend to the throne, their position as traditional nobles will undoubtedly become very passive, and they may even lose everything. They cannot allow this to happen.
So anyone who poses a threat to the Crown Prince must be eliminated, no matter who they are!
âIt seems that trying to make opponents admit defeat through verbal attacks is indeed difficult to achieve in reality.â
Leo Ray, keenly aware of the changes in the expressions of the traditional nobles, couldnât help but smile and murmur to himself, âHowever, Arielâs words are indeed reasonable.â
âPrincess, since you insist on fighting, then we have no choice but to go all out.â
The White Knight fell silent for a moment before speaking again, âBefore we officially attack this territory, may I have a chance to see the legendary Princessâs Guest Official?â
As soon as the White Knightâs words fell, a pair of bright purple magic wings stretched out from the dark city wall below.
A tall figure slowly ascended and floated beside Ariel.
âYouâre looking for me?â
Immediately afterward, a calm voice entered the ears of everyone present.
