Chapter 1352: Chapter 799: The Lord and Princess General_2 Chapter 1352: Chapter 799: The Lord and Princess General_2 “Sister, you’re still as sharp and straight to the point as ever.”
Despite being ntally prepared, Ariel still seed sowhat listless, frowning as she said, “You’re right, sister. We indeed ca to discuss forming an alliance.”
“An expected matter, but what surprises is that you’ve truly grown a lot, Ariel. This makes quite pleased.”
In Caroline’s inscrutable eyes, a trace of indulgence appeared briefly before disappearing, and her expression beca solemn once more.
Caroline’s fair face was filled with seriousness as she continued, “My younger sister, since you’ve grown up, you should understand that my shoulders bear the peace of the entire Northern Territory and the lives of 50,000 soldiers on the northern border. This even directly relates to the survival of the entire Coldfla Kingdom.”
“Once the ambitions of the Pars Empire erupt again, their target will no longer be just the comparatively barren Northern Territory.”
As Caroline reached this point, her gaze turned towards Leo Ray.
The princess-general looked at Leo Ray with great interest as she said, “As a guest from another world, you managed to take control of Cyan Town within just a few days.”
“Moreover, not only did you assist my sister and General White in repelling the eighty thousand Saint Night Army led by Moon Palace Sacred General Red Devil at the Mountain Fortress, but you also achieved the ultimate victory in the contest between the Traditional Nobles’ army led by the White Knight and the New Nobles’ army led by the Nightmare Knight. It’s simply a miracle.”
Caroline ticulously listed Leo Ray’s achievents, apparently having conducted a thorough investigation beforehand.
“What’s even more surprising is that under your command, two national-level Tier 5 powerhouses serve loyally, and even the Goblin Legion, Snow Wolf Clan, Half-Elves, and Pterosaur Knights have appeared.”
“Besides, even in the entourage present, there are two powerful individuals whose strength even I cannot discern.”
Caroline’s sowhat lazy gaze swept over Jasper Richardson and Leah before finally landing on Elusa, who was still using illusionary disguise, “This must be Chief Illusionist Brocade Winthrop from my Coldfla Royal Family, right? To think that even you have joined them.”
“Your Highness, the Princess-General, there’s no need for surprise. As the saying goes, a good bird chooses its tree to perch. In Princess Ariel’s eyes and the eyes of Mr. Ray, I saw the long-lost dawn of the Coldfla Kingdom, which is unrelated to power and interests.”
Elusa, still in her mature witch appearance, stood up, crossed her chest, and bowed, “I believe that Princess Ariel and Mr. Ray will surely bring new light and hope to the Coldfla Kingdom.”
“Ideals are always abundant, but reality is often cruel.”
In Caroline’s starry eyes, a sharp gleam appeared as she turned back to Leo Ray with interest, “Then please tell , my sister and guest, why I should form an alliance with you.”
Pausing for a mont, Caroline emotionlessly added, “My sister and guest, I hope you understand that my choice to let all of you in signifies that I do not fear your top powerhouses. Please don’t make any childish moves.”
“Third Princess, you’re overthinking it. Princess Ariel talks about you all the ti, saying that you’ll definitely lend a helping hand. If I make a move on you, wouldn’t that be like hitting Princess Ariel in the face?”
Facing the overbearing Caroline, Leo Ray smiled indifferently, “Just now, the Third Princess already ntioned that you represent the entire Northern Territory, not just yourself. We happen to be capable of solving the most thorny and even fatal problem for the Northern Territory at present.”
“My sister and guest refer to the food shortage issue, right? It indeed poses a big problem before and is the most pressing matter to resolve. However, there are often more than one ways to solve a problem, isn’t that so?”
Caroline remained calm, with one hand supporting her chin and gazing unblinkingly at Leo Ray, “Tell , how much food can you provide?”
“At least enough to help the entire Northern Territory successfully tide over this crisis.”
Leo Ray’s tone was calm, but it implied an extrely large number.
Initially, when it was only Cyan Town, Leo Ray had already used a large amount of funds to secretly purchase food through Linda.After taking control of Viennas City, Leo Ray began to purchase and stock up on a large amount of food and supplies, not only in the Eastern Region, but also in other regions.
Because Leo Ray clearly understood that food and logistics are the fundantals of war, and since he was not worried about money or equipnt, he naturally wouldn’t hold back on the only crucial aspect of food supply.
With such rampant purchasing and storage, coupled with the fact that the Eastern Region was already a food producing area and that the harvest season was just around the corner, Leo Ray had ample confidence in voicing out his plans to supply millions of people in the entire region with food until the famine was over. This was certainly not sothing anyone could easily accomplish.
“It seems my sister’s guest, Mr. Lane, has co well prepared.”
Caroline, gazing at Leo Ray’s calm expression, maintained her composure as she spoke with great interest, “You don’t really think that by rely providing food, you can gain control over the safety of my 50,000 Northern soldiers and the entire Northern Territory, do you?”
“You should know that even if the North is short of food, it won’t imdiately lead to its destruction, but if all 50,000 border soldiers perish, then the entire Northern Territory will once again beco a plaything for the Pars Empire.”
Caroline’s stern voice softened, then she continued, “Besides, as I’ve ntioned earlier, there might not just be one way to solve our problems, and there might not be only you who can provide food.”
“There’s no need for Third Princess to worry; the real deal is yet to co. What I’ve told you so far simply demonstrates Princess Ariel’s sincerity. After all, you two are the only sisters, and Princess Ariel naturally wouldn’t turn a blind eye when her elder sister encounters difficulties.”
Leo Ray, already well-prepared, raised an eyebrow and said leisurely, “In addition, as long as you form an alliance with us, Third Princess will certainly receive three obvious benefits.”
“Oh? This has indeed piqued my curiosity.”
Caroline seed to be very interested, paying no attention to Leo Ray’s provocation.
“First of all, besides providing food, if Third Princess and her Northern Army are willing to fight for Princess Ariel, we will fully supply all military pay and equipnt expenses, even including the rewards after achieving victory.”
Leo Ray snapped his fingers and looked at the princess general seated at the top, “As for whether we have the capital and strength, Third Princess, who is well-inford, should know better than anyone else, right?”
“Your vast wealth is indeed sowhat unexpected and bold.”
Caroline nodded noncommittally, listening attentively.
Not long ago, the news of Leo Ray’s extravagant asures, including ennobling thousands of knights and appeasing new citizens, had already reached Caroline’s ears.
She also took notice of the more advanced equipnt used by the soldiers under Leo Ray’s command.
“Secondly, as long as you ally with us, this ti, if we’re the ones in trouble and need Third Princess’ help, we will definitely reciprocate when Third Princess needs our assistance. Therefore, forming an alliance is not solely beneficial for our side.”
Leo Ray continued talking with a faint smile on his face.
“Third Princess must be well aware of the situation in the Eastern Region. Though our forces have been greatly weakened in this battle, if given the chance to breathe, I can quickly train and form ten, even twenty elite legion troops. After all, money, food, and equipnt aren’t issues, and our potential is undeniable.”
Hearing Leo Ray’s words, Caroline frowned and pondered for a mont before snorting in response, “My sister’s guest, you’re avoiding the crux of the matter. This is all based on the premise that you can defeat the 300,000 allied forces. I don’t need empty promises about the future – they’re aningless.”
“Since Third Princess values practicality, then I have no choice but to move on to the final point.”
Leo Ray, sporting an expression as if he had expected this, continued to describe the benefits.
