Chapter 698: Chapter 473: The Edge of the Cliff_1
Noticing the unusual sight below, curiosity surfaced on Leo Ray’s face as he squinted down towards the source of the thick smoke.
Where his gaze fell, Leo Ray noticed.
The billowing black smoke ca from behind a mountain peak not far ahead, but it was impossible to see exactly what had happened.
After all, their current location was a mixed area of mountains and hills, with highly complex terrain, located at the edge of the border.
“Has the Saint Night Army begun their siege?”
Seeing this, Scarlett blinked her distinctive big eyes, her little face showing a mixture of slight tension and curiosity.
“The Mountain Fortress and its two small fortresses are not in that direction, but further ahead.”
Shaking her head at Scarlett, Linda frowned slightly, thinking, “According to the latest information, the Coldfla Army, at an absolute disadvantage under the constant pressure of the Saint Night Army, retreated in a hurry, leaving behind a lot of territory and local residents.”
At this point, Linda shook her head helplessly, then continued, “For example, this area we are in originally belonged to Coldfla, but it is now under Saint Night’s control.”
“So, currently the only people left in this land are the unard Coldfla residents and the fully ard Saint Night Army?”
Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded in contemplation.
He carefully recalled that when they first arrived at the border battlefield, they went straight to a small border town called Cliff Fragrance Town.
“Back then, that Saint Night town was ravaged by the invading Coldfla Army. The sight of the thick smoke and the cries for help is still vivid in my mory.”
Thinking of this, Leo Ray pursed his lips slightly and continued to think, “Now, although the situation has completely reversed, the Coldfla residents who couldn’t evacuate in ti must be facing similar predicants to those before.”
“Could it be that the despicable Saint Night Army is doing evil deeds on my Coldfla land?”
On the other side, Ariel Watson’s fair face showed anger, and she quickly said to Leo Ray, “As one from the Otherworld, co with to take a look!”
“Dearest Her Highness the Fifth Princess, have you forgotten our three rules so soon?”
Hearing this, Leo Ray turned his head and said indifferently, “When did I need to follow your orders?”
“But…”
Ariel’s anxious expression suddenly dimd, and she muttered softly, “As the Fifth Princess of Coldfla, I must keep my word and not sha the Royal Family.”
“As long as you understand.”
Leo Ray smiled slightly and then solemnly said, “Alright, everyone put on your Invisibility Cloaks, and let’s go check it out.”
“Yes, my Lord!”
Imdiately, the subordinates bowed and responded in unison.
On the other side, Ariel’s face showed a trace of joy as she nodded in agreent.
Thus, Leo Ray, who had once again mounted the giant white wolf, followed the winding mountain path and soon arrived at the smoking mountain peak behind him.
As the view in front of him opened up, he noticed.
Now, what appeared before him was a small town built on the side of the mountain.
At first glance, low wooden houses stood everywhere in the town, connected by country roads.
And around the town, there were orchards and wheat fields, full of pastoral scenery.
Moreover, a gurgling mountain stream flowed through the middle of the town, further adding a fresh, natural atmosphere to this piece of land.
However, since there was still so distance between them and the town, and because of the black fog in front, they couldn’t see very clearly.
After a brief mont, when Leo Ray and his people were getting closer, they saw a completely different scene.
In the town, Blue Pattern Armor Soldiers were scattered everywhere, many houses were heavily damaged, and the orchards and wheat fields were destroyed beyond recognition.
And the thick smoke they had seen earlier was coming from the burning barns and livestock sheds at the entrance of the town.
“It really is the Saint Night Army!”
Seeing this, a wave of anger flushed Ariel’s delicate cheeks. She clenched her fists again, showing a face full of rage and gritted teeth, “These despicable people dare to rampage on my Coldfla’s territory!”
However, Ariel’s fists loosened after a mont.
She knew very well in her heart.
That with her current strength, although she could annihilate the small group of Saint Night soldiers here,
She couldn’t actually change anything.
Realizing this, a strong sense of helplessness filled her mind.
“There are no cries coming from the town, and the Saint Night soldiers inside seem rather slack. It seems that the local residents have already evacuated.”
On the other side, standing on a hill, Linda observed for a mont and then said, “These Saint Night soldiers here seem to be trying to draw the attention of the Coldfla Army.”
“That’s great.”
Hearing this, Ariel sighed in relief and said joyfully, “Who says the Coldfla residents didn’t evacuate in ti…”
But her words trailed off.
