Chapter 694: Chapter 471: Avoiding the Important and Dwelling on the Trivial & Letting the Enemy Go on Purpose_1
Afterward, accompanied by the swift wind and lightning speed,
Leo Ray, riding on a giant white wolf, was quickly escorted by his subordinates through the forest and across the obstructing river, reaching the vast plains on the other side.
At this moment, facing the bright sunlight, Leo Ray squinted and looked at Cyan Town standing not far away.
Under the continuous construction day and night, compared to the initially three-meter high walls, the city’s defenses had been significantly upgraded.
Even the shortest sections of the wall had increased to about five meters in height.
Moreover, the original wooden gate had been replaced with a sturdy metal one, and a moat was being meticulously dug under the wall.
“Not bad, it’s becoming more and more decent.”
Looking at the busy construction scene ahead, Leo Ray nodded with satisfaction, thinking to himself, “It won’t be long before Cyan Town becomes a more secure stronghold.”
Seeing this, Leo Ray gestured for his subordinates to continue moving forward.
Accompanied by the “whooshing” sound of breaking air, they dashed towards the Lord’s Mansion in the center of the city, all cloaked in Invisibility Cloak.
At the same time, in the Grand Hall of the Lord’s Mansion of Cyan Town.
Standing by the bright entrance, Ariel Watson, clad in a red and gold outfit, had an angry expression on her delicate face, pacing back and forth in the spacious hall.
Not far from her stood Linda in blue knight attire, Giant Axe General Burt in a gray brocade robe, and Holy Light General Joshua in a tailored white Priest Robe.
“That damned fellow from the Otherworld, how dare he make this princess wait here for so long!”
Ariel scoffed heavily, crossed her arms, and said indignantly, her eyebrows twisted.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that aside from her attire, her trademark curly hair had been tied into a high ponytail.
This streamlined look added a hint of valor to her appearance, but her petulance remained unchanged.
“It’s unacceptable! This despicable fellow made me wait so many times. It’s outrageous!”
Ariel snorted angrily, still feeling resentful.
At her words, the expressions of Linda, Burt, and Joshua were quite normal.
However, the lines of maids standing beside them in the Lord’s Mansion looked somewhat pale, intimidated by Ariel’s confrontational stance. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs N0velFire.ɴet
“Dear Fifth Princess, I heard that you were looking for me?”
At that moment, a faint voice rang out, and Leo Ray’s tall figure appeared at the entrance of the hall.
“You finally arrived!”
Hearing the voice, Ariel stormed forward but before she could say anything,
Leo Ray smiled faintly and said, “Oh, by the way, how’s your sweater knitting coming along?”
At the sound of Leo Ray’s teasing tone, Ariel was stunned, and her anger turned into confusion. She hesitated, “You… How did you know I like knitting sweaters?”
“Don’t forget, this is my territory. There is nothing that can be hidden from me, and no one can defy me.”
Glancing at Ariel, whose face still held the slightest hint of annoyance, Leo Ray continued with a faint smile and walked towards the throne at the upper end of the hall.
“You… you despicable fellow…”
Ariel, upon seeing Leo Ray’s condescending manner, wanted to angrily retort a few times but eventually didn’t say anything and could only helplessly follow behind.
On the other side, seeing this scene, whether it was Linda or the already secretly subdued Burt and Joshua,
they couldn’t help but smile with resignation, discreetly casting respectful glances at Leo Ray.
Being able to so easily suppress the arrogant Princess Coldflame without a hint of temper,
besides Lord Ray, very few people could possibly achieve that.
After all, this most beloved, youngest, Princess Coldflame had always been the king’s apple of his eye since childhood.
As for the maids of the Lord’s Mansion, they all looked at Leo Ray with admiration, their finely made-up faces filled with unrestrained awe.
Having just settled on the throne at the upper seat, Leo Ray still wore a calm expression and smiled while looking at Ariel, who was seated below.
Undoubtedly, crushing Princess Coldflame’s spirit to the greatest extent possible would provide decisive help to the final task of subjugation.
“Dear Fifth Princess, tell me, what brings you here?”
Leo Ray signaled the maids to carry Ariel’s special low stool and raised his eyebrow inquiringly.
“It’s not really anything important…”
Ariel was about to give a light-hearted reply to entice Leo Ray to accompany her to the Border Battlefield. However, before she could finish her sentence,
Leo Ray suddenly stood up from his seat and said calmly, “Since you don’t have any important matters, then I have other important matters to attend to. Goodbye.”
