Chapter 710: Chapter 477: Entering the Mountain Fortress_3
Immediately after, Ariel Watson couldn’t help but frown slightly, and then asked.
Upon hearing this, August Montgomery showed a difficult expression, and after pondering for a moment, he replied, “I don’t need to hide it from Your Highness the Princess, General White has already started closed-door cultivation three days ago.”
“Closed-door cultivation? Could it be that General White is attempting to break through to become a Tier 5 Powerhouse?”
At this moment, Burt, with his aged face, couldn’t help but show a puzzled expression, and said, “Over a decade ago, General White’s strength had indeed reached the Tier 4 Peak Level…”
After thinking for a moment, the confusion on Burt’s face became even more pronounced, and he added, “However, attempting to breakthrough to become a Tier 5 Powerhouse is an extremely difficult task.
Even with thorough preparation and ample time, it’s almost a life-and-death situation. Why would General White choose to break through at this critical juncture?”
“You’re right. If the Saint Night Army gets the news and launches an attack at this moment, the situation will undoubtedly be extremely bad.”
On the other side, Joshua nodded and chimed in, “After all, advancing to a Tier 5 Powerhouse is fundamentally different from the other lower-tier breakthroughs, and it requires an extremely long period of time to achieve.
And if one is interrupted during this process, the consequences would be no different from a failed breakthrough. In the lightest case, one’s strength would drastically decline and their body would suffer severe damage. In the worst case, one might even die on the spot, which is not an impossible situation.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray pondered and nodded slightly.
As the two of them had said, advancing to a Tier 5 Powerhouse was indeed an extremely difficult task.
According to Leo Ray’s understanding, among Tier 4 Powerhouses, fewer than one in ten could reach the Tier 4 Peak Level and possess the most basic qualifications to advance to become a Tier 5 Powerhouse within their lifetime.
And among those at the Tier 4 Peak Level, those who ultimately successfully advanced to become a Tier 5 Powerhouse had to go through life-and-death situations.
In this process, the rebellious talent for cultivation, hard work, willpower, and even understanding of the practitioner are indispensable, making it extremely demanding.
This is why many Tier 4 Peak Powerhouses don’t dare to take this step casually.
After all, in the Human Clan’s various countries, there are hardly any Tier 5 magic pills that can assist Tier 5 Powerhouses during their advancement.
In short, apart from the rare and exceptionally talented, this is the reason why Tier 5 Powerhouses are extremely rare in the Human Clan’s various countries.
Therefore, it was somewhat difficult to understand why Lord White chose to advance at this time.
However, this could explain the shoot-on-sight order that Lord White had issued before.
“Perhaps, General White wants to stake everything and make the Saint Night Army give up on their plans.”
On the opposite side, August Montgomery sighed softly and shook his head, “He has been working too hard recently.”
After saying this, August Montgomery cheered up and bowed to Ariel Watson, “Your Highness the Princess, you must be very tired after your journey. It’s dangerous here, so why not enter the fortress with me first?”
“Alright,” hearing that, Ariel Watson nodded slightly and replied, “I’ll listen to you.”
Just then, August Montgomery’s cautious gaze fell on Leo Ray and Scarlett and Gideon Black, before he asked in a deep voice, “Who are these people…?”
“These three are mercenaries I’ve hired. Don’t worry, they’re all trustable warriors.”
On the other side, and in accordance with Leo Ray’s previous instructions, Ariel Watson replied indifferently.
“So that’s the case…”
Seeing August Montgomery’s scrutinizing gaze pause on each of the three, Leo Ray then smiled and said, “In that case, please lead the way.”
With a faint smile, Leo Ray responded casually.
At this time, the three of them had already taken off their Illusion Cloaks and were now wearing dark green hooded caps, perfectly fitting the appearance of wandering mercenaries.
As such, the wide hooded caps could not only cover most of their faces but also matched their current identities, killing two birds with one stone. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel•fire.net
The reason why Leo Ray gave up the Illusion Cloaks was because Tier 4 Level powerhouses undoubtedly had the ability to see through them so there was no need to attract extra attention on this point.
In this way, with August Montgomery’s guidance, they all entered the imposing gate of this sturdy fortress with their long procession.
