Chapter 1649 - 1649 948 The Torn Curtain (Middle)_2

Chapter 1649: Chapter 948: The Torn Curtain (Middle)_2 Chapter 1649: Chapter 948: The Torn Curtain (Middle)_2 After speaking, the middle-aged commander looked towards the “Duke Stone” who was walking like a cat and smiled helplessly.

This slightly younger commander was Thoma’s other son, Kowen, who served as the head of the legion and had a Tier 4 three-Star strength.

“Hmph, if it weren’t for our timely action, so what if they found the location? That guy just moved his mouth.” said Cole, stroking his O-shaped beard disdainfully.”

“I don’t know the Princess’s guest official, and if it wasn’t for the news that our family head has died and he seems very proactive, as if praising the Otherworlder to the sky, I wouldn’t have followed that Otherworlder’s orders.” Cole continued.

At this point, the situation became crystal clear.

Everything was the result of Leo Ray’s arrangement.

A short time before, when Keane and Thomas, along with the other elders, proposed using the family’s secret method to contact Sander’s Army, Leo Ray had already thought of the possibility of being eavesdropped by the opponent.

Through detailed discussions with the elders, Leo Ray learned the two main characteristics of the Sanders Family’s communication method.

First, it could easily penetrate the Absolute Defense Barrier of Kael Castle.

Second, although it could not avoid being intercepted by the enemy, Keane and the others would receive feedback at the first moment it was intercepted.

Moreover, as long as they deploy a location array outside the castle, they would be able to lock the opponents’ listening position.

However, Keane and the others couldn’t accurately locate the enemy with their own strength, so Leo Ray asked Jasper Richardson and Red Night to join.

With our two Tier 5 magic powerhouses joining, the location array would undoubtedly be most effective. This was the reason why Leo Ray could find the opponent’s location at the first moment.

As for the “Stone” that appeared later, it was the trump card that Leo Ray mentioned just now.

From the strange state of “Stone”, it’s not difficult to see that the mastermind behind it was the mischievous Little Illusion.

As a Stone Spirit, Little Illusion couldn’t penetrate the Absolute Defense Barrier because of the Divine Stone’s limitation so it was blocked outside.

In addition, Kael Castle has a very powerful illusion interference barrier, so it’s impossible to deploy a large-scale Illusion Realm to increase our side’s advantage.

However, creating a single illusion within the city was not a problem.

Although Kael Castle is vast, near Leo Ray were Little Illusion, Elusa, Olivia, and Mia the half-Elf, four genuine illusion masters who were forcibly recruited by Leo Ray with five times the usual remuneration.

Moreover, Elusa has seen Stone many times since she served as Chief Illusionist of the Royal Court, and imitating him would be a piece of cake.

Because the opponent’s surveillance location was deep in the central region of the city, Little Illusion, who had the most exquisite illusion skills among them, took the lead and created the catwalking “Stone”.

In the end, with “Stone” buying time calmly, Cole and Kowen, along with the commanders of the other three ordinary Commercial Land Army, led their elite soldiers to arrive at the scene in time.

They used their Barrier Crystals, which sealed off both the blocking barrier and the interfering barrier, to seal off the entire bell tower and isolate everything until they completely wiped out this mage-led surveillance team.

“Brother, we have repeatedly analyzed the miraculous battles that Mr. Lane has recently fought, and each time we lose to the noble army led by the Great Prince and the Second Prince. It can be seen that Mr. Lane is indeed no ordinary person.” Kowen wiped the blood from his breastplate and spoke with admiration.”

“In addition, although our father strongly supported the cooperation at the beginning, didn’t we also secretly oppose the cooperation between our family head and the other two great aristocratic families, though it had no effect?”

“Though we opposed, I never thought that an insignificant collateral branch would become the new family head, let alone accepting the command of an Otherworlder one day.” Cole shrugged his shoulders and continued with disdain, “I hope that guy is truly capable and doesn’t cause us any trouble.””Oh, the noble Lord Cole, acting aloof here again,”

Another middle-aged commander dressed in bright magic robes walked over and sneered at Cole, raising his eyebrows before saying solemnly, “Without the help of Mr. Lane, the Sanders Family would have been destroyed by Harrison sooner or later.”

Compared with the Cole brothers, both of whom were physical occupation users, the middle-aged mage commander had a much fairer complexion and was quite handsome.

This man was none other than Leslie’s father, Buzz, the son of Elder Keane. His strength was at Tier 4 three-Star.

Although Buzz only led an ordinary Sanders Clan army corps, because they were stationed near the bell tower, they also received the order to be one of the five corps to eliminate the Bell Tower troops.

With the strong support of main forces like Cole and Kowen and three ordinary corps led by characters like Buzz, the combined strength of five corps’ top powerhouses, it was easy to annihilate this thousand-strong army.

From their conversation, it was evident that, due to the constant rivalry between their fathers, Buzz, Cole, and Kowen didn’t have a very good relationship.

“It’s Commander Buzz, I didn’t expect even you weaklings to show up,”

Hearing Buzz’s mockery, Cole took it in stride and said indifferently, “We should count ourselves lucky you guys didn’t hold us back.”

Buzz and Cole exchanged cold snorts but didn’t continue the conversation.

Although they disliked each other, the two senior corps commanders, responsible for the lives of tens of thousands of people, could still prioritize.

With the current situation remaining unclear, their soldiers and even the Sanders Clan were in serious jeopardy.

As the leading generals of the Sanders Clan, they no longer had any choice but to cooperate closely.

“Well, you guys can handle the rest. If you need anything, I’ll come to help again,”

“Duke Stone” puckered his lips, blinked at the three corps commanders, and his cute act made them all shudder.

“Mr. Lane’s subordinates are indeed full of hidden talents,”

Looking at “Duke Stone” disappearing instantly before their eyes, Buzz sighed inwardly and spoke to Cole, Kowen, and the other two corps commanders, “Gentlemen, let’s follow Mr. Lane’s instructions and start assembling our troops together.”

“I was well aware of that without you mentioning it,”

Cole folded his arms across his chest, a hint of suppressed fighting spirit on the corners of his mouth.

“Gentlemen, everyone says that our Sanders Clan’s soldiers are far inferior in battle to the Lancaster and Yorkman Clans, forcing us to rank last among the three great aristocratic families. After all, we have lived in the Coldflame hinterland for a long time and haven’t participated in any significant large-scale battles since the conquest of the Northern Territory decades ago,”

“As for the Lancaster and Yorkman Clans, these two remote aristocratic families are constantly battling at the border, as you can see,”

“What other people don’t know is that although we, the Sanders Clan’s soldiers, live in a safe area, we have never relaxed nor removed our swords and magic wands from our waists for a day,”

“Today, let everyone see if our Sanders Clan’s army is as weak as the rumors say.”

At this point, a murderous intent surged upon Cole’s scarred face, and he grinned, “This long-awaited feast is about to begin!”

With that, Cole flew away with his subordinates and headed for his garrison at breakneck speed.

Meanwhile, the other corps commanders exchanged glances and followed suit.

At the same time, the rest of the twenty Sanders army corps, excluding Cole, Buzz, and the others, began secretly assembling according to Leo Ray’s instructions.

Accompanied by the undercurrents on our side, the situation within Kael Castle was about to erupt at any moment.
