Chapter 717: Chapter 481: The Truth Behind the Undercurrent_1
“The Fifth Princess, who is considered the ornantal beauty of Coldfla, is truly remarkable. Even at a ti when she can hardly take care of herself, she still has the heart to worry about others.”
With a cold smile towards Ariel Watson, August Montgory continued: “Moreover, Your Highness, do you think I would answer the questions of a prisoner? Even if she is a noble princess.”
“August, I’m afraid you don’t have the capacity to turn the Princess into a prisoner!”
On the other side, Joshua held his holy longsword horizontally and spoke with knitted eyebrows.
“How so? Just because of the two of you, ridiculous commanders with no troops?”
Hearing this, August beca even more arrogant and laughed loudly at Joshua: “At this point, you still appear so aloof. It’s simply laughable!”
When he finished speaking, August’s face darkened again, and he said coldly: “Now, if you put down your weapons, I might let you live a few more days. Otherwise, I can only send your corpses back!”
Upon hearing this, Joshua didn’t refute further and remained silent.
Just as the Lord had instructed earlier, the top priority now was to figure out the ins and outs of the whole matter to catch August and his accomplices in one swoop.
Therefore, as long as the enemy believed they were already in a hopeless situation, they would relax their guard.
On the other side, Ariel Watson, who also understood this, first cald her mind, then spoke: “August, now that things have co to this, you should at least let us know how we will die. At the very least, we should know whose hands we’ll die by.”
Across from her, August’s muddy eyes flickered. After confirming once again that the current situation was absolutely foolproof, he smirked and continued: “Fine, since Your Highness is so eager to know my perfect plan, I might as well tell you. This way, you can give up any ideas of resistance.”
At this mont, August signaled to the crossbown on the roof to maintain their attack positions while continuing to speak: “First of all, that stubborn old fool, General White, has naturally been secretly imprisoned by this general.”
“So, General White is still alive?”
Hearing this, Ariel tried her best to slow down her emotions and asked calmly.
Without a doubt, the highly-respected General White, one of Coldfla’s oldest Kingdom generals, could play a vital role in stabilizing the defense of the Mountain Fortress!
“That’s right. Keeping the old man alive is obviously more important than letting him die.”
anwhile, August smirked sinisterly and a trace of maliciousness appeared on his face. “Originally, I planned to share the wealth and glory with this old man,
but he unexpectedly killed two of my most trusted n. Fortunately, I was well-prepared, otherwise, it would have been difficult to handle.”
At this point, August added with a murderous expression: “Of course, that stubborn fool has been well-taken care of by , and I suspect he’s barely holding onto his life now.”
At this mont, looking at August’s implicit threat of ‘this is what will happen if you don’t obey’ and the nurous sharp feathered arrows above their heads, Ariel couldn’t help but inhale a deep breath of the thick murderous atmosphere in the air.
Although she had several life-saving cards up her sleeve, there was a limit to their usage, especially in situations where they were surrounded by enemies.
At this point, without the Tier 5 Powerhouse sent by that man, she might have already started panicking.
“I wonder how that man is doing now? Since August has laid a trap here, his side must be encountering a similar situation. Forget it, my only option now is to continue extracting information from the enemy as quickly as possible.”
With this thought, Ariel cald herself down and spoke again: “August, even if you have command of this castle and the Three Fortresses now, I’m afraid you can’t simply hand them over to the Saint Night Army, can you?”
“Your Highness, I didn’t expect you to think so deeply.”
At this ti, August’s lewd gaze scanned up and down Ariel’s exquisite figure as he continued: “Admittedly, most of the soldiers here remain loyal to the Coldfla Royal Family, but controlling these troops wouldn’t be difficult.”
“August, isn’t that a bit too boastful of you? This ten-thousand-strong legion is General White’s established force that he has built for over a decade, and you are rely a deputy general who has only served for a few years.”
On the other side, Burt, gripping a giant axe, spoke solemnly: “Do you think the other core commanders would follow your orders? Among them are elite disciples from Coldfla’s prominent families!”
“Giant Axe General, your words are sowhat conservative.”
With a look of disdain, August sneered at Burt: “I said I’d control the soldiers. When did I ever say I’d control those arrogant, misguided young masters?”
“August, does that an you plan to…”
Hearing his words, Ariel’s face suddenly revealed an enlightened expression as she blurted out her question.
