Chapter 1346: Chapter 796: Unfallen Fortress_2 Chapter 1346: Chapter 796: Unfallen Fortress_2 The middle-aged mage shook his head helplessly and sighed lightly, âBut what can we do about it? Those big shots have been blinded by their desire for power. They wonât care about the life and death of this barren land.â
âAs for why they would be wary of us and General Karolin, the reason is actually quite simple.â
âWhat they are worried about is not General Karolin trying to seize the throne, but the fear of the general joining a certain camp.â
The middle-aged mage struggled to walk through the snow, leaving a long trail of snow behind him. âAfter all, General Karolin has always remained absolutely neutral, and has not been swayed by the various princesâ attempts at threats and bribes.â
âJust for this reason, they are disregarding the lives of the people in the Northern Territory?â
The young soldierâs snow shovel was clenched, and then he let go weakly, heaving a sigh, âIs there really no other way?â
âAccording to my cousin, who served as an intelligence officer under General Karolin, the general has sought the help of the three major aristocratic families. They have plenty of food stored in their territories, enough to solve the urgent problem in the North Territory, especially the Sanders family, who can easily handle it.â
The middle-aged mage stopped again in the center of a thick layer of snow, shaking the snow off his body, and said helplessly, âBut now that the Coldflame Kingdom is facing tumultuous times, the three major aristocratic families, who have chosen to play it safe, how would they choose to stand up and offend the princes at this time?â
âWhat the senior said makes sense. These high and mighty nobles are indeed all for their own interests, and they will not care about the life and death of us northerners. Fortunately, General Karolin did not stand in their camp, otherwise, wouldnât we have become expendable pawns?â
The young soldier plunged the snow shovel into the snow, gritted his teeth, and said, âIf the old King were still in charge, he would never have allowed such a thing to happen!â
At this point, it seemed as if the young soldier remembered something, and his eyes lit up, âThatâs right, I heard that Her Highness the Fifth Princess has just taken control of the entire Eastern Region with the help of Mr. Lane. If Her Highness the Fifth Princess is willing to help, she will definitely solve the plight of the Northern Territory!â
âUnfortunately, your information is outdated.â
The middle-aged mage, who was about to cast a spell, slowly lowered his magic wand and shook his head helplessly, âItâs true that the Eastern Region is considered the granary of the kingdom, and its reserves are indeed abundant.â
âMoreover, the Princessâs Guest Official, who is revered as the Shadow Lord, truly turned the tide of the situation, defeating the noble armies of both the Crown Prince and the Second Prince with incredible records, including the undefeatable general known as the White Knight.â
A genuine admiration appeared on the vicissitudes of the middle-aged mageâs face, as he continued to express his thoughts.
âWhatâs even more admirable is that the Fifth Princess and Mr. Lane not only kindly forgave and generously treated the soldiers who had once raised their weapons against them.â
âThis magnanimity, comparable to that of a king of a nation, is enough to be recorded in the history of the Coldflame Kingdom and acclaimed by future generations. I have to say, I really want to see this mysterious Mr. Lane in person, even if itâs just a glance, it would be unforgettable.â
Hearing the middle-aged mage say this, the young soldier also nodded in agreement, âI donât mean to hide it from you, but this Mr. Lane who removed the shackles from the free farmers has already become the object of our admiration.â
âArenât we old soldiers the same? If the Northern Territory were ruled by the Fifth Princess and Mr. Lane, combined with the protection of General Karolin, how could we end up in such a nearly unsolvable dilemma?â
The middle-aged mageâs eyes, full of crowâs feet, were momentarily filled with radiance, but it quickly dimmed again.
âUnfortunately, things have gone contrary to expectations. According to the latest information I have, the combined army of 300,000 led by the Crown Prince and the Second Prince will soon besiege Galaxy City, while the 250,000 Holy Night Army led by the Lunar Temple Holy Maiden is also advancing towards the Mountain Fortress with great momentum.â
The middle-aged mageâs expression was one of despair, and he said helplessly, âAny of these two armies is enough to level the Eastern Region to the ground, and both the Fifth Princess and Mr. Lane are now struggling to protect themselves. How can they help us?â
âItâs really disheartening. I hope the two of them can turn misfortune into blessing and at least save their own lives.â
At this point, the middle-aged mage seemed to have completely lost hope, sighing heavily once again.
âUnfortunately, Magic Knight, your information is also outdated.â
At this moment, a mild-mannered young man had quietly appeared behind the two of them.
âHow could it be? My cousin is General Karolinâs intelligence officer!â
With pride, the middle-aged mage straightened the knightâs insignia on his chest and turned his head to see the source of the voice, only to find that the speaker was also a young man dressed as an ordinary Northern soldier.
The visitor was none other than Leo Ray, who had just rushed over from Crystal Blue City.
In order to avoid drawing attention, the two soldiers naturally couldnât recognize Leo Rayâs disguise under Elusaâs illusion.
As for the others, including Ariel Watson, they were standing beside Leo Ray, but of course, they were all in a cloaked state.
