Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 828: Chapter 535: Returning to the Mountain Fortress_1

“My Lord, I too find this Fourth Prince quite strange.”

With a slight bow, Ol also revealed a contemplative expression, saying: “When I served as a court mage, I had heard that compared with the brave and martial First Prince and the magic-studying Second Prince, the Fourth Prince is the most low-key and inconspicuous.”

Furrowing his eyebrows, the crow’s feet at the corner of Ol’s eyes deepened as he continued: “And yet, even though he lacks the support of high-ranking nobles, this Fourth Prince can still contend with the other two princes, which is simply baffling.”

“Ol is right.”

Ariel furrowed her eyebrows slightly and said: “My Fourth Prince brother rarely leaves his residence and never participates in various royal family activities, nor is he known to be close to any aristocratic families.”

Nodding at Leo Ray, Ariel continued: “Forgive me, my Lord, but at first, I thought that only my eldest and second brothers were acting recklessly. I was really surprised when I heard that my fourth brother had joined them as well…”

“Interesting.”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.

Before this, he had already known that against the First Prince, who is supported by traditional nobles, and the Second Prince who is backed by new nobles, the Fourth Prince, who only seemed to have the support of wealthy merchants, could still hold his own.

Moreover, based on his own deductions, one of the three princes has already joined the mysterious organization, resulting in the brazen actions of the powerful individuals within the Coldflame Region.

“Based on these clues, I have previously speculated that the one who joined the mysterious organization is the most enigmatic Fourth Prince.”

With a slight nod, Leo Ray continued to think: “However, it is said that there is a mysterious figure behind the First Prince as well. If the Fourth Prince really has joined the secret organization, who is this mysterious person behind the First Prince?”

Shaking his head helplessly, Leo Ray pulled his thoughts back and thought: “No matter. According to recent intelligence, the First Prince has taken an absolute advantage in the Royal Capital, so it won’t be long before these two rivals reveal their true colors.”

With that in mind, Leo Ray, who was sitting at the top position, stood up from his throne and walked to the end of the table.

He then explained his current power distribution and plan to control the entire Eastern Coldflame Region to Ol.

After speaking, Leo Ray, who had reached the front of his subordinates, asked: “Lord Asher, what do you think we should do to achieve our goal more efficiently?”

“In response to my Lord, this subordinate believes that we need to work on two fronts simultaneously, gathering the latest information.”

After a moment of contemplation, Ol, gently caressing his treasured Tier 5 Wand, replied: “On one hand, we must keep an eye on the military deployments of the First and Second Princes in the target area while monitoring their movements.

On the other hand, we need to quickly ascertain the affiliations of cities like Golin City, Dragon’s Lair, and Blue Cold Fortress. If they remain neutral, everything will be much easier.”

Pausing for a moment, Ol added: “Especially the wine-producing Blue Cold Fortress. Although it is small in scale, it almost supplies the entire region with alcohol, and is undoubtedly very wealthy. I’m afraid that it has long been targeted by the three princes.”

“So, in other words, we need to invest elite spies in every aspect? It seems that my previous arrangement is about to play a key role.”

Smiling slightly, Leo Ray revealed that he had already sent two Shadow Squad members a while ago and told Ol about it.

“My Lord is wise!”

Upon hearing this, Ol, who was still holding the shining Magic Wand, brightened his eyes and said: “The Shadow Squad active in the border areas of Redarrow City, Pinehaven City and the Crystal Kingdom can perfectly cover the territory of the First Prince.

Meanwhile, the other Shadow Squad in Dragon’s Lair, Golin City, Mystara City, and even Viennas City can quickly reach the Second Prince’s territory!”

Chuckling, Ol added: “I must say, my Lord’s Shadow Squad is truly extraordinary. My subordinate’s Tier 2 ranger team, which is responsible for clearing unidentified spies in the city, has not detected the slightest hint.”

“In that case, I can rest assured.”

Raising his eyebrows, Leo Ray contemplated for a moment before saying: “If that’s the case, let Viennas City be the headquarters for monitoring the Second Prince’s power. I will hold a separate meeting later to arrange for the Shadow Squad captain in charge of this area to communicate directly with you.”

“Understood, please rest assured, my Lord!”

Seeing the opportunity to prove himself, Ol quickly placed his hand on his chest and said.

Immediately after, he took a deep breath, trying to calm his still-excited mood, and said: “My Lord, besides this, what we need to do is to strengthen our military force. With the current volatile situation, a great battle may be imminent.”

“Just as I thought.”

Nodding slightly, Leo Ray stretched his limbs and said, “Alright, that’s enough for today. When I come next time, I will provide a complete set of equipment for the soldiers of Viennas City. Additionally, please prepare the Treasure Vault, as I will inspect it then.”
