Chapter 778: Chapter 510: Review of the Fortress Defense Battle_1

Signaling to Gideon Black who was closest to the door, Burt, clad in a silver plate armor, appeared at the doorway.

“Greetings, my Lord! The extraordinary achievements of my Lord in this battle has truly opened my eyes!”

After the door was closed again, the white-haired Burt immediately knelt on one knee and deeply bowed to Leo Ray, his voice filled with excitement.

“General Burt, there is no need for excessive courtesy. I simply caught the enemy off guard with a minor trick,”

Leo Ray nodded slightly and, while signaling Taylor to isolate the room from the outside world with his breath, helped Burt up, saying, “General Burt, you came here alone for Ariel’s matter, right?”

Before this, Leo Ray had already known.

Although during the recent battle, Burt and Joshua, the two kingdom generals, each took charge of various crucial command positions and greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers,

when the battle ended, the two handed over their command authority to the original commander within the fortress and returned to Ariel’s side.

After all, the soldiers here were not under their direct jurisdiction, so it was more efficient to let the commanders familiar with the place handle the aftermath.

“Yes, my Lord, that’s exactly it.”

Burt, who was standing again, slightly bowed and said, “After my subordinate handed over the command authority, Princess Ariel called me and Joshua to her side immediately. First, she relayed the words my Lord just said and then sought the opinions of both of us.”

“As expected.”

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Leo Ray signaled Burt to sit down and asked, “So, what did Ariel say?”

“In response to my Lord, Princess Ariel first asked us two about the feasibility of resisting those three princes. After receiving our affirmative answers,

she then subtly inquired whether she could bear the banner of the Coldflame Royal Family. The two of us naturally gave her a positive answer as well.”

After taking his seat, Burt spoke, “During this process, although Princess Ariel was still a little hesitant, she did not mention any concerns regarding my Lord’s side. From this, it is not difficult to see that Princess Ariel already has great trust in my Lord.”

“That is also to be expected. After all, Ariel is just a down-and-out princess with an uncertain future. Without my Lord’s protection, she would have already been in danger.”

Gideon Black pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up and said.

“I deeply agree. Not only did Princess Ariel receive my Lord’s protection, but after joining the territory, both Joshua and I felt a sense of security. I haven’t felt this kind of stability for a long time,”

Burt nodded at Gideon Black, his old eyes misty, and couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

Next, Burt looked at Leo Ray with respect and continued, “My Lord, after Princess Ariel finished asking those two questions, she said she needed some time to think. That’s when I was able to report, while Joshua continues to monitor Princess Ariel’s movements.”

“I see.”

After taking another sip of the steaming tea, Leo Ray nodded slightly and asked again, “General Burt, how likely do you think it is to win Ariel over now?”

“As I had said before, winning over Princess Ariel requires an opportunity, and this just-ended fortress defense battle is the perfect opportunity!”

Without any hesitation, Burt immediately replied, “Through this battle, not only has Princess Ariel clearly realized my Lord’s unfathomable skills and deepened her trust in my Lord,

but I can also feel that the princess, who has truly seen the cruelty of the battlefield, seems to have matured a lot overnight. Although she still possesses her pride, her arrogance has almost disappeared.”

“Just as I thought, this pampered and arrogant princess, after experiencing the bloodshed and cruelty on the battlefield, has finally started to grow.”

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Leo Ray said with a faint smile, “It seems that we are now within reach of winning over this Coldflame’s fifth princess.”

“My Lord, what should I do next?”

Burt lightly stroked the white short beard on his aged face and asked again

“Just stay by her side.”

Looking at Burt’s respectful face, Leo Ray replied, “Right now, she must be going through an intense internal struggle. Once she figures everything out, she will come to me on her own.”

“Understood, my Lord, please rest assured!”

Hearing this, Burt stood up from his seat and said, “Then I will go now.”

After that, he bowed to Leo Ray again and left the room directly.

“Alright, everyone continue to rest. When the Saint Night Army is completely defeated, we’ll have one last thing to do here besides winning over Ariel.”

Nodding slightly to his subordinates, Leo Ray put down his teacup and spoke.

Next, Leo Ray and his subordinates had some food sent by Lord White as well as some that were stored in their storage space.
