Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 744: Chapter 494: The First Round of Fortress Defense Battle Comes to an End_1

“Lord Red Devil, what on earth is going on?!”

In the Saint Night central command post behind the depression, soldiers from the two remaining remote legions were collapsing like a tide in front of them.

A middle-aged Tier 4 level Saint Night Army deputy general, unbelievably, spoke to a one-eyed elder in red armor wearing a single metal eyepatch beside him.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Other Saint Night Army commanders and staff officers around the one-eyed elder in red armor were also filled with shocked expressions.

A pair of eyes, filled with bloodshot, were wide open, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

“Foolish.”

In the midst of the panic, the one-eyed elder still had a calm demeanor, he said lightly: “It’s already clear that there must be reinforcements assisting the Coldflame Army’s camp.”

However, although the one-eyed elder seemed calm, upon the high command platform, the oaken handrail beside him was crushed from gripping, leaving only bits of oak on the ground, yet to dissipate.

“But that doesn’t make sense…”

The middle-aged deputy general paused for a moment before expressing doubts, “According to the information we have, there is no reinforcement for Coldflame, how could there be assistance?!”

Pausing again, the middle-aged deputy general had a sudden realization, “Lord Red Devil, do you mean that the enemy’s assistance is not from the regular forces of Coldflame?”

“That’s right, and their numbers are limited, otherwise, they couldn’t have escaped the eyes of our Saint Night.”

With a slight nod, the one-eyed elder, called the Red Devil, spoke lightly.

From his single eye filled with murderous intent, it was evident that he was trying hard to suppress the anger surging within him and keep his mind clear.

“Yes, during the day when we searched for Coldflame civilians, three search squads were completely wiped out… Initially, I thought it was the work of the Coldflame Cavalry. Now it seems very likely that they were killed by these reinforcements!”

On the other side, a middle-aged staff officer in magic robes suddenly brightened up and said.

“Going by this, the enemy’s strength is obviously not to be underestimated. They could even move freely during our extensive and rigorous search operation…”

Nodding thoughtfully, the middle-aged deputy general spoke solemnly, “Moreover, August Montgomery holds two Tier 2 elite scout squads and three Tier 4 powerhouses from the assassination families of our Saint Night in his hands.

Even with the aid of the Coldflame Army, it’s clearly no easy task to silently eliminate so many stealth experts without our detection!”

“If my estimation is correct, there must be at least five to six Tier 4 powerhouses in the enemy camp. Moreover, judging from the momentum, there are at least 300 Tier 2 Magic Cannons in the fortress.”

The one-eyed elder with his rage somewhat subdued waved his hand, signaling the Priest Group and Guard Group to go forward and regroup the remnants, while continuing to speak.

“Five to six Tier 4 strongmen and 300 Tier 2 Magic Cannons can’t be afforded by common forces…”

Watching the Holy-Light Priests hurry forward, the middle-aged deputy general pondered, “So, is it possible that these mysterious reinforcements are from the Sanders Family or the other great families of Coldflame?”

“Impossible.”

Sneering disdainfully, the one-eyed elder said dismissively, “Currently, with the ever-escalating chaos in the Coldflame Royal Capital, these cunning Coldflame nobles are neither choosing to deplete each other nor offend anyone. They’re all watching quietly.

In this uncertain situation, they will naturally not support the border war. After all, the influence of these great families in the border area is quite limited, with little interest involved.

As for the Sanders Family, whose trading conferences are spread all over Coldflame, they have a comprehensive set of emergency measures in place. Even if the entire Coldflame Eastern Region falls into our hands, they won’t be paralyzed.”

Pausing for a moment, the one-eyed elder continued, “Besides, given their past experience, if these Coldflame great families joined the war, they would want the whole world to know just to show off their family’s strength. How could they act so low-key?”

“What the general said is true. With the situation in Coldflame still unclear, even city lords further away have collectively ignored the Coldflame Royal Family’s draft order, let alone the great nobles who are only one step away from the royal family. They would rather have the chance to replace the kingship.”

Thoughtfully nodding, the middle-aged deputy general asked again, “In that case, who are these mysterious reinforcements in the Mountain Fortress, and why are they helping the Coldflame Royal Family?”

“That’s what I’m pondering.”

The one-eyed elder stroked his metal eyepatch as he continued, “At present, nothing can be determined.”

Frowning slightly, a fierce and puzzled expression flashed through the one-aged elder’s single eye, which was full of killing intent.

This sudden mysterious force couldn’t help but remind him of the great victory they had achieved not long ago when the Saint Night Army was at a disadvantage.

Although that incredibly successful victory was attributed to the two newly promoted commanders and deputy commanders, the strength of the duo was just above Tier 3. Yet they managed to defeat almost ten Tier 3 commanders and a Tier 4 deputy general from the enemy’s side, turning the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.
