Chapter 528: Chapter 389: Celia’s Loyalty and the True Identity of the Opponent_1
Hearing Cecilia’s request, Leo Ray slightly raised his eyebrows and began to contemplate silently.
“From the current situation, it can be known that,
this woman who once posed as a merchant named Ayla is actually the princess of the Moon Wolf Tribe in the Crystal Kingdom.
This also explains why she, seemingly an ordinary and not wealthy merchant,
has the exclusive rights to sell White Jade Ore Vein and does not experience an involuntary transformation like other ordinary Moon Wolf Tribe members.”
When coupled with the initial encounter in the hall, where she was desperately trying to rush through the Silver Gate but helplessly panicking,
it further corroborates this fact.”
At this moment, Leo Ray helped her up while continuing to ponder: “The most critical issue is,
from Cecilia’s words, it can be deduced that,
General Burt of the Giant Axe is obviously a member of the Crystal Archduke’s lineage, which allows him to resist the involuntary monthly transformation.”
Thinking of this, Leo Ray looked at Cecilia’s anxious expression and indicated her to calm down.
Then he asked, “How much do you know about the current situation?”
At this stage, it can be confirmed that,
this Moon Wolf Tribe nation hidden among the mountains is obviously facing some severe crisis, even the risk of annihilation.
If they could resolve the crisis and bring the entire city under their jurisdiction, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of their territory.
At the same time, this might also become an opportunity to win over Giant Axe General Burt.
“Sir, when the abnormality first occurred, I quickly rushed from the shop where we met to the castle as fast as I could,” said Cecilia, nodding slightly and speaking solemnly. “When I entered the castle, it was already in chaos.
However, I found the bodies of several Tier 3 elders of our tribe. They were all killed by extremely brutal means.
Just by this, it’s evident that the enemy is up to no good!”
“Understood.” Nodding thoughtfully, Leo Ray then briefly informed Cecilia of his true identity without hesitation.
Undoubtedly, the situation is still unclear at this moment.
He naturally wouldn’t risk the safety of his subordinates to rashly deal with unknown enemies.
Therefore, only after subduing Cecilia and further verifying the authenticity of her words would they take action.
The key is that by doing so, they would be one step closer to subduing the princess here, bringing them closer to their goal.
On the other side, after hearing Leo Ray’s words, Cecilia’s petite body trembled with excitement, overwhelmed with emotion.
For centuries, their Moon Wolf Tribe, being subjected to countless hunts by foreign races, had faced the brink of annihilation several times.
Even uttering the word “Moon Wolf Tribe” would bring calamity to their people, let alone other races willing to deal with them.
So, to keep the flame of life alive,
they had to come to this secluded mountain range and hide their identity carefully while living cautiously.
Despite all of this, in the past century, the Crystal Kingdom had still encountered several crises of annihilation, each time isolated and enduring the pain silently.
“To think that our Moon Wolf Tribe would catch the attention of such an important person.
With his protection, our Moon Wolf Tribe will finally have a reliable ally and a master worth serving in the future…”
With these thoughts in mind, Cecilia didn’t hesitate to kneel down again, bowing her head deeply to Leo Ray: “I, Cecilia Eveningstar, swear to serve my Lord unto death!”
“Very well, let’s begin the contract,” said Leo, nodding with satisfaction. A Tier 2 Recruitment Order with copper metallic luster appeared in his palm.
Not long after, the familiar announcement came quickly.
[Congratulations! Tier 2 Five-Star Moon Wolf Brave Cecilia Eveningstar has signed a Master-Servant Contract with you and become your new subordinate!]
Hearing this, Leo Ray helped up the Moon Wolf Tribe princess, opened her attribute column, and:
[Name: Cecilia]
[Occupation: Moon Wolf Brave]
[Tier: Tier 2 Five-Star]
[Loyalty: 100]
[Skill One: Tendon Piercing Strike ‘Active’ (Physical Single Target Attack)]
[Skill Two: Spiral Kick ‘Active’ (Physical Single Target Attack)]
[Skill Three: Claw Stab Mastery ‘Passive’ (Slight damage increase when using Claw Stab)]
[Skill Four: Mountain Crystal Bloodline ‘Passive’ (Complete resistance to Moon Wolf Tribe’s involuntary transformation)]
Closing her attribute column, Leo Ray nodded to the Moon Wolf Tribe princess and smiled faintly: “Now, it’s time for me to take the stage.”
…
At the same time, in the spacious assembly hall in another part of the castle.
In the vast assembly hall, the light was dim.
The pale moonlight, mixed with the howling night wind, streamed into the hall through the shattered windows.
It illuminated the werewolf soldiers’ corpses lying haphazardly on the ground after their transformations.
Every corpse had its armor melted, emitting an unpleasant burnt smell while still letting out black smoke.
