Chapter 1354: Chapter 800: Princess General’s Determination_2 Chapter 1354: Chapter 800: Princess General’s Determination_2 Leo Ray looked at Caroline’s delicate face, which remained unaffected by his words, and still maintained a faint smile: “Since the Third Princess has been concerned about the safety of the Northern Territory and its 50,000 border soldiers from the beginning, I would like to ask Her Highness a question.”
Leo Ray’s voice suddenly rose, his gaze fixed on Caroline’s eyes: “Once the Pars Empire really reaches the doorstep of the Unfallen Fortress, how long do you think your 50,000 border soldiers can hold on?”
“Don’t ntion naive words like getting reinforcents. The three princes won’t even give you a grain of food, let alone send troops to assist you. Isn’t the Mountain Fortress a perfect example?”
“For their own interests, they even let their enemies trample on this land. They would abandon the Saint Night Kingdom, and naturally, they would abandon the Pars Empire, especially since the Northern Territory is not as important as the Eastern Region.”
“Moreover, even if the other neutral nobles in the Northern Territory are willing to help you, without food, how long can they hold on?”
Leo Ray’s series of questions sounded particularly harsh in the echoing hall.
“Third Princess, as a mber of the Coldfla Royal Family, as the highest commander here, as the guardian of the Northern Territory, do you really think you can protect the peace of the Northern Territory by simply settling down? This is incredibly naive!”
Hearing Leo Ray’s rciless words, the faces of Caroline and Hilda changed repeatedly before finally darkening.
“Mr. Lane, don’t go too far! You are disrespecting the royal family!”
Hilda’s rough face was full of coldness, as she said coldly to Leo Ray, “General Caroline has been tirelessly working for the peace of the Northern Territory. Her efforts and sacrifices should not be tainted by anyone!”
“If you are truly concerned about the Northern Territory and the Coldfla Kingdom, you cannot call a commander who only sees the short-term competent.”
Leo Ray ignored Hilda’s anger and continued rcilessly, “The current Coldfla Kingdom is like the center of a Dinsional Storm. No one can remain unaffected. The only choice is to face it actively, trying to defeat it, or be passively involved and ultimately be crushed.”
“Unfortunately, you have chosen the latter, yet you are still self-satisfied.”
Just as Leo Ray’s words ca to an end, Hilda could no longer contain her anger, “Mr. Lane, let’s end the discussion here. Your rudeness has offended Her Highness, the Third Princess!”
“Compared to the safety of the entire Northern Territory, are my few truthful words really more important to you?”
Leo Ray slowly turned to the red-faced Hilda and calmly responded, “If you can’t even listen to a few harsh truths, how can you talk about working tirelessly for the safety of the Northern Territory?”
“You…”
At this mont, Hilda was like a furious half-orc, about to step forward, but Caroline stopped her with a wave of her hand.
“Mr. Lane, please continue.”
Completely different from Hilda, after the initial shock, Caroline’s delicate face quickly regained its composure. Although she appeared expressionless, her eyes held an indescribable aning.
It seed to be a mixture of admiration for Leo Ray’s candidness and surprise at his blatant disrespect for her.
“In that case, I will continue. Although my words are harsh, they are also sincere advice.”
Leo Ray smiled faintly and continued confidently.
“One can imagine that the reason the three princes have not yet taken action on the Northern Territory is because they feel that the cost and gain are not proportional. After all, compared to other regions, the Northern Territory is relatively barren, has tough local customs, and other regions’ soldiers may find it difficult to adapt to the harsh weather up north.”
“However, if the Northern Territory is on the verge of collapse due to a lack of food and the attacks from the Pars Empire, then it would be easy to conquer. Would the three princes still give up such vast land?”
“After all, compared to other regions, the Northern Territory has many unique advantages, such as being able to supply a large number of elite ice mages and train even more skilled soldiers. Not to ntion, the precious alchemy materials and ice-attribute magic crops that can only grow in the Northern Territory.”
At this point, Leo Ray looked up at Caroline and smiled, “As long as Princess Ariel and I continue to confront the three princes, they will not have a chance to conquer the Northern Territory. Isn’t this the best shield and advantage?”
“Mr. Lane, now I truly understand why my sister was able to rise step by step with your assistance.”
Caroline stared intently at Leo Ray, sowhat emotional, “As an Otherworldly Lord and an astute counselor, you do indeed possess unparalleled talents.”
“Your Highness, the Third Princess, you are too kind. In fact, I have many other strengths that I might show you in the future.”
Leo Ray raised an eyebrow and unceremoniously accepted Caroline’s praise.
“But General, this guy is really too full of himself!”
Hilda’s rough face still showed a look of anger, and she grumbled indignantly, “He has offended your dignity, and this should not be easily forgiven!”
“Hilda, if I were to bury the Northern Territory with my own hands, that would be truly unforgivable, and I would not be worthy of being a mber of the royal family protecting the Coldfla Kingdom.”
