“Captain Christopher, who exactly are you?”
Taking advantage of the brief rest period for the entire battalion in the fortress, Baron Yeste and Female Knight Kara separately invited Leo Ray aside and asked him in unison. Moreover, they also tacitly used honorifics.
At this moment, although under Leo Ray’s guidance, the “Great Swordsmen” Taylor and Gideon Black did not come over from a short distance away.
However, Serena and Stella, hidden under the invisibility cloak, had remained by his side all along.
As a Tier 3, 5-star and Tier 3, 6-star experienced powerhouse, they would be more than enough to deal with the two Holy Night Army Commanders in front of them, who were only Tier 3, Two-Star, in case of sudden emergencies.
“The two captains are joking. I am just an unknown squad leader in the first Great Swordsmen team of the Plundering Fire Legion. The fact that I can still stand on this fortress is nothing more than good luck.”
With a faint smile, Leo Ray, holding his helmet in his arms, responded indifferently.
After hearing Leo Ray’s answer, Baron Yeste and Female Knight Kara looked at each other again.
Both saw a touch of awe and unease in each other’s eyes that they could not suppress.
Undoubtedly, from the surface view.
Everything here does look like the aftermath of a magic cannon explosion, making it difficult to refute.
However, think carefully.
How could such a low-level mistake that even a magic apprentice wouldn’t make happen in a fortress guarded by two Tier 3 magic powerhouses?
Even if there was an explosion, could it really have wiped out both Tier 3 powerhouses and nearly a hundred elite magicians?
This was simply like braking with the prostate while skiing, a clear joke.
This point might be able to deceive the ordinary soldiers below.
But for Baron Yeste and Female Knight Kara, who were well aware of the strength of Tier 3 powerhouses, it was something they could not believe.
Consider the initial easy recapture of Cliff Fragrance Town, the unnaturally smooth progress at the chokepoint attack, and the explosion of this fortress, especially the calm and in-control demeanor of the other party right before the departure of the main force.
All of these clearly indicated that if it happened once, it might be a coincidence, but with three consecutive instances, it became clear…
Without a doubt, since the other party could easily destroy this fortress and create such an illusion.
Wouldn’t their troops, and even themselves, unable to defeat such a fortress, be an insignificant force that the other party could easily crush with a snap of their fingers?
Especially in this chaotic battlefield, as long as the other party is willing, it would not be difficult to create an illusion that the fortress and the large team are both destroyed!
“It seems that the mysterious power Yeste mentioned before does exist, and at this moment, it stands right in front of me.”
At this time, Kara’s slender eyelashes flashed, and her pretty face showed a complicated expression.
Looking back now, the contempt and disdain she had shown several times before must have seemed like a frog at the bottom of a well to the other party, right?
Realizing this, Kara first looked at the embarrassed Baron Yeste beside her.
Then, she looked at the smiling Leo Ray, whose smile was as warm as the sunshine. She suddenly discovered that the Baron Yeste she had regarded as her male god since childhood seemed not as tall and magnificent as she had thought.
“Your Excellency, please don’t conceal any further, who exactly are you from?” On the other side, Baron Yeste carefully asked again.
Without a doubt, the background of the other party, or the terrifying power hidden behind them, was clearly much stronger than his family.
“Since you two do not believe, let’s put it in another way.”
With a faint smile, Leo Ray changed the subject: “You two only need to know that I won’t steal your merits, including this fortress battle.
I think, defeating two of your enemy Tier 3 Powerhouses and an elite magician squad would be a considerable military achievement, wouldn’t it?”
“This…”
Hearing this, Baron Yeste and Female Knight Kara looked at each other again, both becoming silent.
Damn, that’s a tempting feeling.
Indeed, for every soldier risking their lives on the battlefield, military achievements are undoubtedly irresistible temptations and supreme honors.
Moreover, as Leo Ray said, taking down two enemy Tier 3 Powerhouses and an elite magician squad, such merits would be enough to receive a large number of generous rewards and medals.
“Believe me, the achievements you are about to receive are far more than that.” As the two hesitated, Leo Ray casually added another sentence. “Fine, I suppose Your Excellency must have some difficulties.”
Leo Ray’s words obviously dispelled Baron Yeste’s doubts completely.
Baron Yeste’s family had been in decline for years, and their status and reputation in the Saint Night Kingdom were declining day by day, often subject to ridicule and mockery from their fellow nobles.
The reason he chose to come to the battlefield was to accumulate more merits as an opportunity to revive his family.
Therefore, there was no reason to refuse such a good thing that had come knocking.
The most crucial point was that the young man in front of them was on the same side as them.
His real identity was probably the descendant of a domestic noble family or even a member of the royal family, right?
In any case, no matter which identity he had, it was something that a small baron like him could not afford to provoke.
On the contrary, if they could win the favor of the other party, they might even gain more benefits!
He then respectfully bowed to Leo Ray and said, “Your Excellency, I apologize for any negligence earlier. As for your specific identity, we two will never question it again, please rest assured.”
At the same time, Female Knight Kara also hurriedly bowed to Leo Ray, her pretty face filled with awe, and her big eyes were shining with an indescribable brilliance.
On the other side, although unable to hear the specific conversation between the three.
When several team captains saw the usually high-ranking team leader and deputy team leader bowing respectfully to a young man whose true position was only a squad leader, they all showed a look of disbelief and their wide-open mouths seemed capable of swallowing a Tier 6 magical beasts Purple-winged Demon Dragon egg.
You should Imow that these two leaders were genuinely noble characters with noble titles.
Especially the team captain who had previously snorted coldly at Leo Ray, his face was full of horror, seemingly realizing that he had offended an existence that he absolutely could not afford to provoke!
“Such a distinguished person that even both Excellencies, the captains, have to pay their respects, who exactly is this young noble?”
