Chapter 1062 -652: The True Face of the Commander_2
“These soldiers once drew their swords against you, a member of the royal family, yet you have chosen to forgive them. They must be deeply touched in their hearts.”
After saying this, Leo Ray nodded to Ariel Watson.
“Please rest assured, my Lord, I will take care of this matter!” With a respectful salute, Ariel Watson accepted the task.
“Very good.”
Seeing Ariel Watson’s resolute gaze, Leo Ray nodded his head again in satisfaction.
With this, the overambitious Vanguard Legion was completely annihilated, and the first battle of this great campaign ended in a complete victory for our side.
As for the scattered soldiers who fled, Leo Ray didn’t worry about them. Witnessing this one-sided siege, they naturally became effective tools to weaken the enemy’s morale.
“Alright, now let’s talk about the protagonist of our operation.”
Leo Ray’s gaze shifted and fell on Gideon Black.
“My Lord, after a deep investigation into Baldwin, I have acquired information on the commander from the Great Prince’s faction.” Gideon Black said with a satisfied smile, adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses: “His true identity is the White Knight, one of the two National Protector Level Tier 5 Powerhouses of the Coldflame Kingdom!”
Upon hearing Gideon Black’s words, the other subordinates in the room couldn’t help but frown, especially those familiar with Coldflame, who took deep breaths.
Although their Lord had the loyalty of Taylor and , the fame of the White Knight resonated throughout the human countries.
His terrifying charging ability and similarly powerful close combat skills earned him the title of the number one knight of the Human Clan, which was by no means an exaggeration!
“Is that so?”
Getting this expected answer, Leo Ray wasn’t too surprised, but his expression became more solemn.
The appearance of a Tier 5 powerhouse on the battlefield meant that he would have to send an equal force to stand undefeated.
Attempting to wear down the enemy with ordinary soldiers would be unrealistic for him.
After all, combining the forces from his territory, Cyan Town, and nearby Milan Town and Magnet Town, they were far from matching the enemy’s main forces.
In a situation where they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military power, blindly engaging in attrition would be like seeking death.
“In other words, I have to send a Tier 5 powerhouse as a trump card to counter the White Knight? Things are getting more and more difficult.”
With a helpless shake of his head, Leo Ray pondered for a moment and then asked Muscle Priest, “Gideon, apart from this, did you obtain any other information from that guy?”
“My Lord, I have not obtained any other information. He only met the White Knight once before the campaign, and the opponent only told him to launch a feigned attack on the city in order to test us and wear us down.” Gideon Black respectfully replied, “As for other deployments and plans, nothing was leaked, showing the extreme caution those from the White Knight.”
“Such a commander is difficult to deal with. We’ve wiped out the enemy’s Vanguard Legion, yet we still have no information about their next move.”
Leo Ray furrowed his brows and continued,” According to our current progress, when will the main forces of the Great Prince’s faction arrive in Cyan Town?”
“My Lord, according to the scouts’ reports and intel from the Shadow Squad, the main forces of the Great Prince’s faction have begun to gather near Vilun City and are expected to arrive in Cyan Town tomorrow night or the morning after.” Linda stepped forward and reported, “Their forces amount to roughly five legions.”
“I understand. The real battle is getting closer and closer to us.”
After listening to Linda’s words, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.
Although the distance between Vilun City and Cyan Town was quite far, the route was mainly vast plains.In addition to the new recruits, after several years of systematic training, the ordinary defense soldiers can generally reach Tier 3 and above, all of whom have successfully condensed an energy vortex.
Therefore, with the support of internal energy, the marching speed is naturally much faster than ordinary people.
Bringing his thoughts back to reality, Leo Ray asked again, “How is the situation with the Second Prince’s forces now?”
“My Lord, the vanguard legion of the Second Prince’s forces is currently camped at the base of the Hundred Ranges near Magnet Town,” Linda replied respectfully.
“There is a large dense forest at that location, and the camp is built next to a small lake by the forest. Even if the Great Prince’s cavalry were to launch an attack, the Second Prince’s vanguard legion could easily handle it,” she continued.
“I see, it seems to be an excellent position to watch the situation unfold,” Leo Ray nodded in agreement and continued to ask, “What about the main force of the Second Prince’s forces?”
“My Lord, the Second Prince’s forces have also begun to gather. Due to the longer distance, it is estimated that they will arrive about half a day later than the Great Prince’s forces,” Linda informed him.
“I see, so in the vicinity of our town, there are only the Great Prince’s cavalry legion guarding against the Second Prince and the recently camped vanguard legion of the Second Prince, making two legions in total…” Leo Ray mused as he rose from his throne.
“My Lord, that is correct,” Rhizoma Drynariae stepped forward and enthusiastically continued, “Although there are still two legions keeping an eye on us, our Cyan Town has suffered minimal casualties after the recent battle, and the morale of our soldiers has greatly increased. There has been no panic at all.”
“Don’t forget that this is just the beginning. Panic is inevitable once more enemies besiege the city,” Leo Ray warned as he walked down from the platform where his throne was and stood beside his subordinates. “So, what we need to do is to motivate the soldiers within the city to the greatest extent possible.”

Leo Ray went straight to Linda and Rhizoma Drynariae and continued, “Including the wall where I was stationed, we should select the commanders and soldiers who have made outstanding contributions in this city defense battle as soon as possible, along with their affiliated soldiers, or their battle squads, to be rewarded handsomely. Also, gather all the chefs in town to hold a grand victory banquet tonight.”
“As for those injured soldiers, we should award them according to the degree of their injuries, and exempt their families in Cyan Town from all taxes for half a year. We must make proper arrangements for the soldiers who have died in battle,” Leo Ray added after a pause.
Taking a deep breath, he continued, “After all, these soldiers are fighting for me, and I will not fail them.”
“Your orders will be carried out, My Lord. Rest assured!” Both Linda and Rhizoma Drynariae bowed and responded simultaneously.
The excited expressions on their faces showed that they were truly moved by Leo Ray’s words. The same expressions could be seen on Ariel Watson and the others around them, who all looked at Leo Ray with admiration.
“Of course, we must not slack off on the city’s defense work. During the victory banquet, half of the soldiers can take turns to dine while the other half remains on duty,” Leo Ray solemnly ordered his subordinates.
“Considering the current situation, although we don’t know who the commander of the Second Prince’s forces is yet, judging by their vanguard legion’s march and their posture of watching the development, they are certainly no ordinary figures. Therefore, even if the great battle has not yet officially begun, we must not be complacent,” he continued.
“Understood, My Lord!” All the subordinates immediately bowed and replied in unison.
“My Lord, will we hold our position until the opponent’s main force arrives?” Ariel Watson asked after a moment’s thought.
“Of course not, as I have said before, it will be impossible for the Second Prince’s forces to take advantage of the situation,” Leo Ray replied with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
