Chapter 1896: Chapter 1070: Lord’s Inquiry_2

“Lord, Elder Ice also reported that the energy of Ice Stone City is almost depleted.”

Ariel Watson’s somewhat urgent voice quickly rang out again.

After Ariel Watson finished speaking, Sean Parker’s stern voice also reached Leo Ray’s ears: “Reporting to the Lord, the attack on the other side is too fierce, and the Absolute Defense Barrier of Crystal Blue City is about to give in.”

“In that case, let’s temporarily halt this doomsday judgment against the invaders.”

Without hesitation, Leo Ray immediately gave the order to retreat: “Cease all attacks, return to the Unfallen Fortress!”

With Leo Ray’s words falling, both Crystal Blue City and Ice Stone City extinguished their fires and vanished from both sides of the canyon in an instant.

As the smoke dissipated and the Pars Empire’s Vanguard and Rear Army responded, they found themselves in a desolate canyon.

The snow and ice had long melted away, the smell of blood and scorched flesh lingered, leaving only scattered corpses and broken Pars Empire flags everywhere.

“Your Highness the Princess, the enemy has left, but… but my Central Army’s 30 legions were almost entirely wiped out!”

The scout’s trembling voice quickly reached Cecililia’s ears.

“That otherworlder is simply too much!”

Cecililia clenched her fists until they cracked, yet she helplessly released them, only to begin clearing the aftermath.

Soon, Cecililia’s astonished and furious voice echoed through the canyon once more: “What? You’re saying Prince Braddon has been captured by the enemy?!”

When Braddon opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on the cold marble floor, surrounded by indistinct figures.

“Where is this place?!”

Shocked, Braddon quickly sat up, only to be immediately restrained by an ice chain binding his hands and feet.

“You bastards! How dare you bind this prince, you must be tired of living…”

Before Braddon could finish his words, his gaze suddenly met a pair of piercingly black eyes. “Why is it you?!”

What Braddon saw was Leo Ray, sitting in the front seat.

Following Braddon’s gaze, he also saw Ariel Watson, Caroline, Hilda, Elder Ice, and other allied commanders and experts seated beside Leo Ray.

Though Braddon did not recognize many of them, he was not unfamiliar with the faces of Leo Ray and Ariel Watson, the Second Prince of the Pars Empire.

Seeing Leo Ray’s terrifying expression, despite any delay in response, Braddon instantly understood his current situation.

He was in the enemy camp, already a lamb to the slaughter!

Panicked at heart, Braddon hurriedly reached for his Storage Ring but found it empty, even his armor and sword were nowhere to be found.

“Rest assured, your frozen pants have been replaced.”

Leo Ray smiled faintly, watching the bound Second Prince of the Pars Empire with interest.

In this sequence of events, Leo Ray could clearly judge.

Just as he thought at the beginning, this pampered fool was indeed just a paper tiger, lacking any real skill.

Of course, it was precisely because this guy was a straw bag that the annihilation battle just now went so smoothly for my side.

“Otherworlder, what do you want?”

Braddon didn’t have time to savor the mockery in Leo Ray’s words and instinctively tried to retreat, but failed due to the ice chain’s restraint.

With no choice, Braddon mustered the courage and pretended to be calm, snorting lightly: “I warn you, I am the Second Prince of the Pars Empire. If anything happens to me, my father and sister will never let you go. At that time, I will make the whole Northern Territory, no, the entire Coldflame Kingdom, run with blood!”

“Dear Second Prince, it seems you have not yet understood the current situation.”

Leo Ray stood up from his seat, looking down at him.

Leo Ray’s eyes suddenly turned sharp, and he said coldly, “Standing before you are Her Majesty the Queen of Coldflame Kingdom, the Holy Lion Prince, the Third Princess, and all the General Commanders. Do you Pars people have no etiquette or manners at all?”

“This…”

Braddon was stunned and immediately slumped, nodding in greeting as his last bit of courage was crushed by Leo Ray.

However, Leo Ray apparently had no intention of letting go of this noble man who attempted to lead an army into Coldflame Kingdom, instead slowly advancing towards him.

Leo Ray’s purpose in doing so was only one: to extract some intelligence from Braddon.

Initially, Leo Ray intended to let Gideon Black, adept at interrogation, take charge.

But after some preparation, Gideon Black found that this guy’s willpower was too weak, and if a spiritual attack was used, he might become dazed.

For now, Leo Ray did not want to lose this card, so he naturally had to adopt some conventional methods, like the friendly inquiry at present.

“Your Royal Highness Prince Holy Lion, you wouldn’t be planning to lay a hand on this prince, no, on me, would you?”

Watching the expressionless Leo Ray, Braddon’s forehead immediately became covered with sweat, hurriedly saying, “I was forced to lead troops into battle, I have no intention of encroaching on the Coldflame Kingdom!”

“I’m not interested in your thoughts. As to whether we will act against you, that depends on your performance.”

Leo Ray raised an eyebrow slightly, looking down at him.

“You should be clearly aware that the Pars Empire is determined to become enemies with my Coldflame Kingdom, so your threats have no effect. If you still plan to play tricks, I don’t mind hanging your head on the city wall of the Unfallen Fortress.”

Satisfied with Braddon’s increasingly frightened expression, Leo Ray began his inquiry: “Tell me, why did your father order such a large-scale army mobilization? And why choose the same timing as the other armies?”

Leo Ray’s purpose for asking this was solely to see if he could find any new clues about the Black Abyss Brotherhood.

Currently, although Leo Ray could essentially confirm that the mastermind behind the five-pronged enemy assault must be the Black Abyss Brotherhood, he still knew nothing about the true identity of this Mysterious Organization.

“To be honest, Your Royal Highness Prince, I actually don’t know what’s happening.”

Gazing at Leo Ray’s upright figure, the thoroughly subdued Braddon spoke truthfully: “Although I had guessed my father would deploy troops, I did not expect him to even secretly mobilize part of the elite army defending the Outer Region to launch such a large-scale offensive.”

Stopping there, Braddon wisely did not add his thoughts.

Previously, he might have said his father was overreacting and making a fuss over nothing, but now was clearly not the time for such talk.

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray first exchanged a glance with Gideon Black, and upon confirming that Braddon was not lying, asked further: “Your father mobilized such forces, haven’t you found it even a little suspicious?”

“Your Royal Highness Prince, are you implying my father might have been manipulated?”

This time, Braddon reacted quickly, shaking his head: “That’s absolutely impossible, Pars Empire’s Miracle Building, Spirit Twin Towers, can completely shield against all illusions and spiritual interference in the court, even Tier 6 Experts are powerless.”

At this point, Braddon realized he had revealed one of the greatest secrets of the Pars Empire and hastily stopped.

Keep in mind, each nation’s Miracle Building is considered a supreme secret, difficult for even regular ministers and nobles to see, let alone understand their specific functions.

“Seeing that it’s so easy to communicate with this guy, I’m relieved.”

After again confirming the truth of Braddon’s words with Gideon Black, Leo Ray maintained his calm smile and continued to inquire: “Then, dear Crown Prince, carefully tell me what your Father King has been doing before issuing this command.”
