Chapter 1857: Chapter 1051: Another Queen in the Ancient Capital_2

A robust figure dressed in black knelt before the slender figure, reporting respectfully, “There are a total of seven intruders, mostly from the Human Clan, with a Half-Elf and a member of the Ashen White Clan among them, comprising one Tier 4 Peak Powerhouse and six Tier 5 Powerhouses, heading directly toward Palm Island.”

“Six Tier 5 Powerhouses? And a Tier 4 Peak Powerhouse?”

The slender figure stepped forward slowly, the dim light revealing a noble and exquisite mature face, like a delicate rose with thorns.

This graceful and mature Queen furrowed her brows slightly in contemplation, then narrowed her star-like eyes and said, “No need to be tense, outsiders appearing at this moment may not necessarily be unwelcome guests.”

“Oh? Your Majesty, please enlighten us.”

The robust figure maintained a respectful posture, his face full of confusion as he asked, “Does Your Majesty know the identity of the outsiders?”

“Among the other six countries of the Human various countries, most have only two or three National Protector Level Tier 5 Powerhouses, and although the three Neutral Organizations meet this criterion, to my knowledge, they do not include any Half-Elf or Ashen White Clan Powerhouses.”

The mature Queen’s high heels clacked in the spacious hall, unhurriedly saying, “Combining this with the most renowned figures in the other six countries currently, the answer becomes self-evident.”

“Your Majesty, are you suggesting their leader is the Holy Lion Prince who just quelled the internal power turmoil?”

The robust figure immediately responded, nodding in contemplation.

“Indeed, his followers do have enough Tier 5 Powerhouses, and it was he who killed the Black Duke and several others of his kind, right? Who would have thought, bearing the blood debt of our clan, he would still dare to tread our territory.”

At this point, the robust figure again showed a face full of confusion and asked, “But isn’t the Coldflame Kingdom on the brink of destruction, besieged by five kingdoms? Why would the Holy Lion Prince not stay and hold the fort in the Coldflame Kingdom, but instead come to our land?”

“Precisely because the Coldflame Kingdom is on the brink of destruction, the Otherworlder came to this land of ours, the only one that hasn’t sent troops.”

The mature Queen’s starry eyes remained slightly narrowed, saying faintly, “What? Virentin, haven’t you figured it out yet?”

“Your Majesty, are you saying they intend to form an alliance with us and seek our assistance to aid the Coldflame Kingdom?”

The robust figure named Virentin nodded thoughtfully, sneering slightly, “It’s quite a calculated plan.”

“We are already struggling to care for ourselves, how could we still worry about that Otherworlder?”

At this point, a murderous aura enveloped Virentin’s body, maintaining a kneeling posture and saying, “Your Majesty, why not let me expel those scheming fellows?”

“Foolish, since they’re coming directly here, it’s clear they’ve roughly figured out our situation.”

The mature Queen glanced at Virentin, a hint of fatigue subtly showing between her brows.

“These days, we’ve tried many methods, yet still can’t repair the ‘Blood barrier.’ If this continues, the citizens of the Ironhand Archipelago might truly perish.”

“And now that the Otherworlder surely intends to assist us first, letting us owe a favor, then raise the issue of alliance.”

Saying this, the mature Queen curved her lips into a meaningful smile, saying faintly, “How could we refuse their goodwill?”

“I understand Your Majesty’s intentions now, if they extend a helping hand, we might as well go along with it.”

Virentin was suddenly enlightened, nodding and then asking in confusion, “But Your Majesty, even if the barrier is restored, our deployable strength is extremely limited.”

“Ordinary soldiers can’t leave the barrier’s coverage, and the number of true Blood Clan is relatively small, surely we can’t risk everything for them?”

“After all, they are currently on the brink of destruction, if we help, we might bring trouble upon ourselves.”

Hearing Virentin’s words, the mature Queen’s lips curved upward, saying faintly, “I merely said to accept their help, when did I say to ally with them?”

“If they indeed have a way to repair the barrier, that would be great, if not, we don’t lose anything.”

The Queen’s voice suddenly turned somber, continuing, “As for the alliance, do you think I would be foolish enough to ally with an Otherworlder on the brink of collapse?”

“Here is our Blood Clan’s territory, even if they have six Tier 5 Powerhouses, under the blessing of my mysterious weapon, even if their numbers doubled, they wouldn’t make a ripple!”

“If that fellow dares to act recklessly, I might as well send him off early, the Blood Clan always repays a grudge, if they’ve already harmed my people, there’s no reason to let them leave easily.”

Having said that, the Queen’s star-like eyes turned blood-red, sharp fangs slowly appearing from her lips.

In an instant, the already extremely dark King’s Hall was filled with a chilling air, intermittently accompanied by the muffled sounds of bat wings flapping, with pairs of similarly blood-red fierce eyes looming in the corners.

…

“Lord, ahead is the Royal Capital Iron Blood City at the center of Palm Island, the power hub of the Ironhand Archipelago!”
