Chapter 927: Chapter 585: Lord and the Knight Sisters_2

“It’s been a few days since we last t.”

As Leo Ray removed the illusion mask from his face, he waved for his subordinates to disperse and guard the area, all while smiling faintly.

“Sister, it really is Mr. Christopher!”

Seeing Leo Ray’s true face, Tia couldn’t help but jump excitedly.

However, realizing that she had lost her composure, Tia quickly hid behind Tina with a flushed face, only revealing more than half of her head.

“Mr. Christopher, we are truly delighted to see you!”

Pulling Tia out from behind her, Tina was equally excited and said, “Also, thank you for getting rid of a scourge in Iron Fort!”

“It was just a small effort.”

Smiling faintly, Leo Ray couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Before this, although he had passed by the areas around Iron Fort several tis, he had never actually stopped to visit.

Unexpectedly, the dilapidated state of the villages and the people’s emaciated appearances seed not much better than in Redarrow City and Magnet Town.

This desolate and lifeless scene was undoubtedly very different from the other cities and their surrounding villages that he controlled.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Christopher, for letting you see this.”

Seeing Leo Ray’s furrowed brow, Tina sighed lightly and said, “This phenonon of exploiting free farrs is widespread in this area. The people in power here only care about their imdiate interests and pleasures.

They don’t realize that only by truly allowing the people to live and work in peace can the population, food production, and even the quality of soldiers improve in every aspect.”

“The way to treat the people should never be with whips and torture, but by sharing the benefits with every citizen. Only in this way can a territory be impregnable.”

Pausing for a mont, Tina looked down with furrowed brows, “I hate to admit it, but I haven’t seen smiles and hope on the faces of these villagers in a long ti.”

“No wonder such scum that rely on others for power existed.”

Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.

Following that, Leo Ray changed the topic and asked curiously, “In that case, why does the Blue Rose Knights stay on this hopeless land?”

“To answer Mr. Christopher, apart from trying to help these people as much as we can, there is another reason why Tina and I have no choice but to stay here. That reason is because our roots are here.”

Tina glanced at Tia, who also looked distressed, then continued, “To be honest, Mr. Christopher, two hundred years ago, this city called Iron Fort had been the territory of the family Tia and I belong to since the founding of Coldfla.

At that ti, because the Iron Fort City Lord, our ancestor, had died young from illness and his offspring had just been born, the opportunity was seized by the current City Lord’s family, who completely swallowed Iron Fort and made it their territory.”

“So it turns out that you and Tia are both mbers of a fallen traditional noble family.”

Feeling their bitterness and helplessness in their words, Leo Ray gently patted their thin shoulders to comfort them.

He had heard from Ariel Watson about the friction and struggle between traditional nobles and new nobles in Coldfla. He knew that this situation only improved after Ariel’s father was crowned.

After a brief contemplation, Leo Ray looked at them gently and inquired, “So, the Blue Rose Knights were initially established by that just-born offspring, who later beca the previous City Lord, right?”

“Mr. Christopher is correct, the first leader of the Blue Rose Knights was the great-grandfather of Tia and .”

Tina nodded at Leo Ray, and a trace of sadness flashed across her fair face as she whispered, “That’s why the Blue Rose Knights are the last symbol of mine and Tia’s family. We want to do everything we can to protect it, even at the cost of our lives.”

As she spoke, Tina looked gratefully at Leo Ray, sincerely saying, “We were about to give up in the face of the increasingly difficult situation and the oppression of the current Iron Fort City Lord. But your appearance has brought us new hope!””Sister… Squad Leader is right, we really have Mr. Christopher to thank for it!”

Tina, who was beside her, blinked her starry eyes and ca closer, then lowered her head and whispered, “And, Mr. Christopher also saved my life in the Titan Clan Ruins…”

“It was just a trivial matter, nothing worth ntioning.”

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Leo Ray changed the subject again and said astonishingly, “By the way, do you want to regain the territory that once belonged to your family?”

“What?!”

Upon hearing Leo Ray’s words, both Tina and Tia were stunned, and their slightly open red lips unconsciously opened and closed.

After a while, they eagerly asked in unison, “Mr. Christopher, are you serious?!”

“Of course, it’s absolutely true.”

Standing in the bright sunlight, Leo Ray smiled gently and replied.

Before this, Leo Ray had always been pondering a question.

Once his battle with the princes’ forces started, how could he effectively govern the conquered cities by eliminating the city lords?

Through Tina and Tia, Leo Ray found an excellent approach——to restore and support so of the fallen nobles that had lost their territories.

As the saying goes, you only appreciate sothing when it is gone, these new city administrators would not only be grateful for his kindness but also have a basis for their past reputation and achievents. They would strive for prosperity and govern their land well, making them the most suitable candidates.

“Mr. Christopher, the current lord of Iron Fort has a terrifying influence. Not only is he a core mber of Second Prince’s faction in the Coldfla Eastern Region, but he also holds the position of the lord of another nearby city.”

Amid her amazent, Tina stroked her hair that fell beside her temples, her eyebrows lowered and said, “He is not only a Tier 4 powerhouse, but also has nurous capable subordinates and nearly 20,000 defense soldiers. Moreover, the neighboring allies of the Second Prince’s faction have a military force of 40,000 to 50,000 people…

The crux of the matter is that Iron Fort is located right in the middle of the Second Prince’s territory, making it nearly impossible to overthrow.”

“That’s right. These cities have defense forces that are mostly new citizens living within the city. They have a higher status than the surrounding free farrs and are the beneficiaries of the newly erging nobles’ interests. They even own their share of the land and can manage enslaved free farrs.”

On the other hand, Tia adjusted her slightly loose knight attire at her chest, her eyebrows knitted as she added, “Therefore, the loyalty of these defense forces is extrely high, and they are very well trained, making them difficult to deal with.”

Pausing for a mont, Tia bit her red lips and whispered, “Most importantly, behind them stands the pinnacle of power in this area, the Second Prince of the Royal Family. It’s possible that he will beco the new king of Coldfla in the future. What can we, these small fries, do to fight against them?”

“That’s exactly what I’m saying.”

Tina sighed softly, twirling a strand of her hair with her finger, “In summary, Mr. Christopher, please don’t joke with us. Behind them stands a mber of the Royal Family. Even for Mr. Christopher, who has a Tier 5 powerhouse at his service, it might be difficult …”

At this point, Tina didn’t continue, but her sense of powerlessness was already evident in her words.

“A mber of the Royal Family, huh? It’s no big deal, we have one here too.”

With that, Leo Ray waved to Ariel Watson behind him, indicating her to co forward and remove her Illusion Mask.

“As you command, my lord.”

In a crisp pleasant voice, Ariel Watson complied, slightly bowing.

The next second, as the mask was taken off, Ariel Watson’s silky and soft curls slid down.

And the delicate princess crown already placed on her head shone brilliantly in the splendid sunlight, radiating a dazzling light.

“How…how is this possible?!”

Upon seeing Ariel Watson’s pristine and delicate face, the disbelief on Tina and Tia’s pretty faces was indisputable, leaving them both stunned on the spot again.
