Chapter 1887: Chapter 1066: The Depths of the Lion King Temple_2
Among the monarchs of the Coldfla Kingdom throughout history, although there were so weak and inept ones, the majority were wise and valiant, and among them were mighty powerhouses capable of defending the nation.
Most of the rulers of the Coldfla Kingdom were renowned for their bravery and wisdom, never falling behind others even on the battlefield.
This led to many monarchs either dying in battle or sacrificing themselves to save their people.
For instance, the eighth monarch, Holy Queen Sofia, ventured alone into a dinsional storm to avert a great catastrophe, yet she lost her life doing so.
Another example is the sixteenth monarch, Lion Roar King Alfred, who once single-handedly fought off a Green Dragon attacking the border city, ultimately succumbing to his injuries.
Many monarchs also faced setbacks due to failed advancents to Tier 5 Powerhouse level, forcing them to abdicate.
In sum, the experiences and deeds of the Coldfla monarchs themselves can be considered a grand epic.
“Lord, I have discovered sothing peculiar,”
As Leo Ray was reminiscing about the history of the Coldfla Kingdom, Ariel’s curious voice interrupted.
“What is it?”
Leo Ray refocused his thoughts and walked towards Ariel’s position.
“Lord, there are a total of 17 statues of kings here, starting from the second monarch King of Valor Saul to my grandfather, the eighteenth monarch Avoidance War King Karen.”
Ariel stood below the altar, looking solemnly at her ancestors with a touch of puzzlent on her face.
“Since this is a Hall of Heroes honoring past Coldfla monarchs, it is quite normal that my father, the nineteenth king Steel-wrist King Bardet, is not included, as he is still at rest in the Sleeping Dragon Castle.”
“But why is my first ancestor, the Ancestral Hero King, also not among them? It’s truly baffling.”
Upon hearing Ariel’s question, Leo Ray pondered and nodded.
Upon closer inspection, indeed, the statue of King West, the old eccentric, is absent.
“Could King West have slept in Dragon’s Lair, far from the Royal Capital, because of so association with this?”
Leo Ray gently rubbed his chin and began to ponder internally.
Perhaps this place is not rely a Hall of Heroes for past Coldfla monarchs, but also a resting place for them throughout history.
If so, then it all makes sense.
Since King West’s resting place isn’t here, naturally there wouldn’t be his statue.
Thinking of this, Leo Ray shared his thoughts with Ariel.
“I see, as expected of you, Lord.”
Ariel’s eyes brightened with clarity as she nodded, saying, “Thinking carefully, this place being underground is almost at the sa depth as the Royal Family’s resting place, which from its location suggests it might indeed be adjacent to the Royal Family’s resting place!”
“Within the Royal Family’s resting place lies the resting site of past monarchs, possibly connected in so form between the two.”
After speaking, Ariel tilted her head in confusion, saying, “But the Lion King Temple is a Miracle Building, why does it also serve the secret purpose of worshiping past monarchs?”
“There can only be one answer, it must be related to the hidden functions of the Lion King Temple.”
Without hesitation, Leo Ray expressed his view, raising an eyebrow, saying, “It’s just that we have not yet reached the necessary conditions to trigger the hidden function.”
“I understand, but in either the Hall of Heroes or the ancestral resting place, what kind of hidden function could appear?”
Ariel thought for a mont and finally shook her head in uncertainty, saying, “Surely it’s not to bring the ancestors back to the world, right?”
“That’s hard to predict, after all, your first ancestor in a certain sense still exists in this world.”
Leo Ray smiled slightly, and he himself was also curious at heart.
The key fact is, this Miracle Building has two more hidden features, what might appear is indeed intriguing and worth anticipating.
“Never mind, now that we know the secret deep within the Lion King Temple, discovering the other two hidden features should be close at hand, especially now that the Coldfla Kingdom is in a true crisis.”
“Let this be an unknown trump card, maybe soon it will play an unexpected and significant role.”
Thinking this, Leo Ray decided not to dwell on it, and nodded to Ariel, saying: “Alright, since we’re here, let’s pay our respects to your ancestors before we leave.”
“As you command, Lord.”
Ariel placed her hand over her chest and began to pray with closed eyes.
Once everything was finished, Leo Ray and Ariel returned together, eventually leaving the Lion King Temple.
Back in the Queen’s chamber at Lion Castle, the two washed up before quickly turning off the illuminating Light Crystal Stone.
The night passed without a word.
The next day, before dawn, when Leo Ray opened his eyes, he found Ariel, who had risen early, handing him a cup of hot tea.
Today is the last day before the five-fold army arrives at the gates, Leo Ray could clearly feel it.
Despite the young queen trying to remain calm in front of him, he could see her long eyelashes trembling.
It’s understandable, for this kingdom that has endured for over six hundred years is about to face an unprecedented threat to its survival.
“Don’t worry, we’ve done everything we can, the goddess of victory always favors those who are prepared.”
Even though Leo Ray himself wasn’t too confident, he still smiled, patted Ariel’s head, and then drank the warm tea in one go.
Facing enemies bent on annihilation, every step was indeed a precarious walk.
Especially at the currently most vulnerable Rainforest Fortress, if Eckhart’s actions failed, the consequences would undoubtedly be disastrous.
Following this, as routine, Leo Ray returned to his territory to handle daily affairs, while Ariel remained at the Royal Capital with Asher Porter and others attending to court matters, and soon the morning sun shone brightly over the earth.
Leo Ray’s only task during the day was to complete the re-equipnt of all border garrison legions from five directions, and to boost morale together with Ariel.
In this process, Leo Ray specially prepared a strong team led by the White Knight, as well as secretly mobilized all the cavalry troops of the Yorkman Clan, ready to support Eckhart at the Rainforest Fortress at any ti.
As for the evening, Leo Ray had a particularly important task.
That was to head to the Unfallen Fortress, to join Caroline, Qiana, the Ice Elder, and others in utilizing the instant teleportation advantages of the “Crystal Blue City” and “Ice Stone City,” to preemptively attack the Pars Empire’s main army entering the icy region.
Currently, out of the enemy forces approaching from five directions, only the Unfallen Fortress has the ability to attack the enemy first, and Leo Ray would not miss this opportunity.
Leo Ray knew well that this battle was crucial.
Not only could it catch the Pars Empire off guard, delaying their advance, it could also intimidate the other armies to so extent and boost our morale.
Ti flew by.
That night, after successfully completing the comprehensive re-equipnt task, Leo Ray, with a group of main subordinates, headed to the command hall of the Unfallen Fortress.
Caroline, Hilda, Qiana, Sean Parker, and other generals, along with the Ice Elder who couldn’t stray too far from the “Ice Stone City,” had been waiting for so ti.
“Your Royal Highness Prince, Her Majesty the Queen, you have arrived just in ti.”
Seeing Leo Ray and Ariel, Caroline stepped forward seriously, saying, “According to the latest intelligence, the Pars Empire’s vanguard of 100,000 snow cavalries have all entered the snowfield, with the main forces following in an orderly manner.”
“Very good, the snowfield is our territory.”
Leo Ray’s eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent as he smiled, saying, “Let this enemy, who seeks to bring flas and blood to us, first taste the flavor of death.”
