Chapter 1042: Chapter 642: Lord White’s mories_2 Chapter 1042: Chapter 642: Lord White’s mories_2 Laughter echoed loudly and a rich smile suddenly appeared on the face of the young king, who slowly said, “It seems that the entire Northern Territory of our kingdom is now within our reach.”
“What the King said is extrely true, with the king and Lord Wilson available, I believe we will soon be able to march our troops to the city of the Invincible Northern Fortress. That place is the last lost land of our Coldfla Kingdom for a century,” responded Rost, who still maintained a respectful posture, enthusiastically responding from his heart.
“Rost, Lord Wilson had already left for Mountain Fortress a week ago to resist the Saint Night Army, which would take advantage of the situation for their benefits. This Cold Fortress was won by , you, and a few other Kingdom Generals,” The young king said playfully as he arched his thick eyebrows.
“My King, you overestimate my ability, I dare not compare myself with the king and other Kingdom generals!”
Rost waved his hands in a hurry, bowing respectfully in surprise, “I’m only the commander of your personal royal guards!”
“Rost, I have long appreciated your military talents, especially your unparalleled defense abilities,” said the young king with a faint smile on his radiant face, “Since the beginning of this campaign, we’ve been in many battles large and small, but none of the enemy’s cavalry has ever been able to charge my central command.”
Glimpsing at Rost, who was still in a state of panic, the young king slightly lifted the corners of his mouth and said: “Rost, although you’re a mber of the traditional nobility of Coldfla, your family has fallen. Don’t you yearn to ascend to the high position of a Kingdom General and regain your family’s forr glory?”
“My King, I certainly do!”
Rost adjusted his pure white armor and saluted, “But there are over twenty cities of varying sizes between us and the Invincible Fortress. If Lord Wilson is absent, we will be at an extre disadvantage in a two-front battle, especially with an enemy multiple tis our strength…”
“Rost, everything about you is good, except you are too conservative.”
The young king shook his head helplessly.
His handso face, however, soon bore a touch of firm unyieldingness, “For a century, the people of the North have lived as slaves to other nations, undergoing dark days. As their protector, as their king, I must write the epitaph for my subordinates with the blood of our enemies.”
As he spoke, the young king’s gaze beca more piercing as he looked towards the distant horizon: “If the enemies think that the current Coldfla Kingdom is still that weak, sick lion, they are greatly mistaken.”
“I will show them with action that the once mighty Colfla lion has returned, and these self-presud superior characters will pay a bloody price for their derision and arrogance.”
The young king’s words ended, and the strong wind rose again, making the fla-red cloak snap in the wind.
The snow was still thick enough to make people squint, but the crown on the young king’s head sparkled even brighter.
“I am willing to devote myself to my king for life, until the last mont of my life!”
Inspired by the young king’s heroes speech, Rost knelt on one knee, deeply lowered his head.
anwhile, orderly footsteps and the clashing of armor echoed from below the snowy mountain. An unending army, with flags fluttering, began to pass from the foot of the mountain and exuded wave after wave of solemn aura in doing so.
Above the chain of fire-red flags ran proud golden lions that gallantly withstood the harsh wind and snow, fearlessly advancing towards the north.
…
“In the following years, the king indeed fulfilled his promise. With relentless courage and fight, he drove out the formidable enemies occupying our Coldfla Kingdom and successfully recaptured all the lost northern territories. Finally, he personally raised the golden lion’s red banner atop the Invincible Northern Fortress,”
Old White’s wrinkled, old eyes were hazy, still imrsed in his mories.
“In the successive wars, under the intentional cultivation of the king, I went from being a small Royal Guard Squad commander, accumulating military rit along the way until I beca a truly respected Kingdom General,”
“To make the enemies pay in blood for their contempt and arrogance? To think that after forty years, I can still hear the king’s heroic words from the mouth of a mysterious young man with great power…”
Amid his sigh, Old White, clad in pure white heavy armor, shook slightly and then regained his composure.
The old general, who was no longer the young squad leader of royal guards, spoke solemnly to Leo Ray, “Your Excellency, have you and the Princess really decided to end this war of power?”
“Yes, perhaps this is the fate of the Princess and .”
Leo Ray’s stern look relaxed slightly, he shrugged and said, “In other words, I had no other choice from the beginning.”
“I see, although I don’t know what gave you the confidence to make such bold statents, it’s clear that your ticulous nature suggests you have a plan and a good chance of victory,”
Looking at Leo Ray’s familiar black eyes, Old White shook his head regretfully while lost in thought, “However, I must ask for Your Excellency and the Princess’s forgiveness. The old king has saved my life nurous tis and has been kind to . Even though the princes have abandoned , I cannot bear to act against the king’s offspring.”
“But the cruel actions of the princes, contrary to the old king’s governance, I cannot agree with. However, you and the Princess are different. In you, I see the vigor of the king in his youth.”
White’s aged face was serious as he nodded solemnly at Leo Ray, “If there’s anything within my power, please feel free to command , Your Excellency and the Princess. I will do my utmost, even giving up my life, to repay the kindnesses you both have shown .”
“General White, you’re being too serious. The Princess and I do have a small request,”
Looking at Old White’s resolute, aged face, Leo Ray first gestured and then stated bluntly, “The request is simple, just open the gate of the Mountain Fortress when the Princess and I need it. Furthermore, until the end of the battle, prevent anyone from entering or leaving the Mountain Fortress.”
“I see, understood,”
Upon hearing Leo Ray’s request, White imdiately nodded in comprehension: “Rest assured, Your Excellency and the Princess, I won’t let the factions loyal to the princes here cause trouble. The Fortress Legion stationed here only take orders from and won’t act without permission.”
“Thank you, General White.”
Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction and after a mont of contemplation, he spoke, “General White, this is Leader Rost from the Dragon Tooth rcenary Corps, he is our representative here. At the ti, I will pass him the ssage—you just need to cooperate.”
Upon finishing his sentence, Leo Ray rose from his seat and patted Rost’s shoulder standing beside him.
“Understood. Over the years, Mr Rost and I have dealt with each other many tis, he is indeed a trustworthy powerhouse.”
As Old White nodded in agreent, his heart was again filled with ripples.
Being able to enlist the cooperation of a powerful entity like Rost, this young Mr. Lane was truly unfathomable.”
“Oh, one more thing,”
As if recalling sothing, Leo Ray nodded at White again.
