Chapter 509: Chapter 379: O.B’s Loyalty_2

“Very well, let’s begin the contract signing.”

With a slight nod, Leo Ray’s mind moved, and the Tier 4 Recruitment Order he had obtained earlier appeared in his palm.

For a moment, the golden glow emitted from the metallic Recruitment Order enveloped Leo Ray in a faint layer of light.

Like that, a moment passed.

A familiar prompt soon reached Leo Ray’s ears.

[Congratulations, Tier 4 five-Star Sacred Sword Priest, Joshua Dawn, has signed a Master-Servant Contract with you and has become your new subordinate!]

Hearing this, Leo Ray gently helped Joshua up while opening the other’s attribute panel.

[Name: Joshua]

[Occupation: Sacred Sword Priest]

[Level: Tier 4 five-Star]

[Loyalty: 100]

[Skill 1: Holy Light Incantation ‘Active’ (Light attribute group healing spell, can rapidly restore target’s wounds and purify negative effects)]

[Skill 2: Holy Light Judgement ‘Active’ (Light attribute group magic attack, inflicting blind effect, outstanding on dark attribute targets)]

[Skill 3: Sacred Sword Light Slash ‘Active’ (Light attribute physical single target attack, inflicting blind effect, outstanding on dark attribute targets)]

[Skill 4: Apostle of Light ‘Passive’ (Significantly increases damage when using light attribute spells or physical attacks)]

Closing the attribute panel, Leo Ray nodded with satisfaction, his face revealing a joyful expression.

With this, the number of Tier 4 powerhouses under his command had increased once again.

And the number of Tier 4 powerhouses, after Gideon Black, Scarlett, Serena Clark, and Stella Clark, had reached five!

“I have to admit, my strength is becoming more and more formidable.”

Thinking of this, Leo Ray’s joy could not be contained.

With a moment’s hesitation, he turned to face the respectfully standing Queen’s General beside him and asked, “Joshua, what do you know about Giant Axe General Burt?”

“My Lord, I have been acquainted with Giant Axe General Burt for several years.”

After giving a respectful bow to Leo Ray, Joshua smoothed the long hair at his ear and responded, “In truth, Burt didn’t originally hail from Coldflame, but instead came from the small mountain kingdom of Crystal Kingdom, located at the border between Coldflame and Sacred Night.”

Bowing slightly to Leo Ray, Joshua continued, “As a result, even though he has fought for Coldflame for decades with great achievements, he still finds it difficult to gain the approval of the Coldflame traditional nobles.”

Saying this, Joshua helplessly shook his head, “As for other matters concerning Burt, since he has never mentioned his origin, I am not clear about it.”

“I see.”

With a slight nod, Leo Ray couldn’t help but reveal a thoughtful expression.

He knew a bit about the Crystal Kingdom.

Due to its remote location within the mountain range, the small human country had barren land and virtually no strategic value.

The area of the country was, at most, the size of a single medium-to-large city.

Thus, even though it bordered two large human empires, Coldflame and Sacred Night,

it had still managed to survive the countless wars that constantly ravaged the land.

Because even if it were to be conquered, there would be no substantial gain.

“No wonder Giant Axe General Burt, with his white hair and old age, is just like Joshua, and not well-received. Everything makes sense now.”

As Leo Ray thought of this,

on the other side, Joshua, still maintaining his bowing posture, began to explain further.

Through Joshua’s subsequent words, Leo Ray learned

that although Burt and Joshua were both among the eight Kingdom Generals, in charge of an army of ten thousand soldiers of the Coldflame Royal Family,

they appeared to be infinitely prestigious with great power in their hands, but in reality, due to their recent promotion,Having a history of more than 600 years, Coldflame’s traditional nobles couldn’t even be considered among the new nobles with a century-long lineage.

As a result, they had been constantly marginalized by the other six Kingdom Generals and other important officials.

This made the two not only unwelcome by the royal family but also subject to constant vigilance against them.

This situation was not so obvious when the old king was still well, but after the old king fell ill, it became increasingly intense.

With a sigh, Joshua shook his head, saying: “At the very beginning of the struggle in the Royal Capital, Burt and I were the first to be stripped of our military power.

Left with no choice, we had to follow Princess Ariel to Cyan Town to avoid the limelight. Otherwise, not only the princess herself, but also our lives would be in danger.”

“Exactly as I deduced.”

With a slight nod, Leo Ray asked, “What was the situation in the Royal Capital before you left?”

My Lord, since the old king is still alive, the command of the eight royal legions is still in the hands of the old king, and no one can easily mobilize them.”

Joshua nodded to Leo Ray, saying: “The two oldest Kingdom Generals still serve the old king and maintain absolute neutrality.

As a result, even the bloodthirsty princes have no way to deal with them.

After all, one of these two old generals is a terrifying Tier 5 powerhouse capable of subduing the nation, and the other is at the peak of Tier 4, just one step away from becoming a Tier 5 powerhouse.

The most crucial point is that both of them have long-standing reputations in Coldflame Kingdom, both in the court and in the kingdom, as highly prestigious figures.”

After a brief pause, Joshua lowered his brows and added: “At present, the three princes fighting for the throne cannot openly mobilize the forces of the Eight Royal Legions.

However, according to my understanding, there have been many small-scale conflicts within the Royal Capital, all involving soldiers of several legions, so it seems that the other four Kingdom Generals have also chosen their sides.”

“I see, there is indeed a great uproar in the Royal Capital.”

Sighing, Leo Ray nodded slightly, indicating for the other party to go on.

Through Joshua’s further description, Leo Ray learned that the eldest prince, who had the support of Coldflame’s traditional nobility, was the most powerful, and under his command was another Tier 5 powerhouse loyal to the Coldflame Royal Family.

As for the second prince, who had the support of Coldflame’s new nobility, he was also not to be underestimated.

The youngest fourth prince, however, was the most mysterious.

Although he only had the support of a few super-wealthy merchants, the powerful men under his command were still able to compete with the other two more powerful princes.

“My Lord, rumor has it that there is a hidden mysterious force behind the fourth prince, helping him.”

At this time, Joshua spoke without hesitation.

“The youngest fourth prince is the most mysterious?”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

According to the clues gathered earlier, since the eldest prince had guidance from an expert, it was speculated that the prince who had joined the mysterious organization might be him.

However, analyzing the situation now, it seemed that the possibility of the fourth prince being involved was even greater.

“I have to say, things are getting more and more interesting.”

With a slight lifting of eyebrows, Leo Ray continued thinking: “In any case, our next goal is to go to Crystal Kingdom and learn more about Giant Axe General Burt.”

Having made up his mind, Leo Ray said to Joshua, “Alright Joshua, your enemy is right before your eyes, and the rest is up to you to deal with.”

“As you command! Thank you, My Lord!”

Upon hearing this, Joshua’s face turned solemn, and he slowly drew the sword from his waist and walked towards Rocky.

Meanwhile, Leo Ray left the reception room temporarily with his other subordinates.

A moment later, Joshua emerged from the room, and with gratitude, he knelt down before Leo Ray, saying, “Thank you, My Lord, for helping me avenge my grievance. From now on, I am willing to go through fire and water for you, without any hesitation!”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, and after instructing Scarlett to clean up the reception room,

his eyes lit up as he remembered the Storage Ring he’d obtained from Rocky not long ago.
