Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2627: 1446: Rout and Penetration (Part 2)
Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
The enemy's meticulously organized troops within the fortress were soon thrown into utter chaos by the bombardment, filled with nonstop yells and swears.
“Worthy of the Emperor of the Human Race!”
As the human clan's warriors displayed their prowess once more, the catman troops' spirits lifted high, allowing them to shatter the foe's initial barrier and seize total command over the wall's interior and exterior.
Following this, the catman warriors charged along the steps and routes flanking the city wall, pressing their relentless attack deeper into the fortress.
Moments later, our forces gained an overwhelming surge, sending the enemy's fighters scrambling in terror and sparking pandemonium throughout the stronghold.
“Your Majesty of the Humans, hand this spot over to the Grand Elder and Second Elder! I'll guide the top warriors with you straight to the Coronation Ground!”
Lannis’ talons shone with icy sharpness, tearing through a hidden witch demon, then he gave a nod to Leo Ray nearby, declaring, “Don't worry, Your Imperial Majesty, we'll battle to our last breath at your side!”
“Then I leave it in your hands, Lord Clan Leader!”
Leo Ray swung his longsword, its purple glow throbbing, slicing off a cluster of undead mages mid-chant for bone blasts, including their staffs, before soaring toward the lakeside entry with Lannis and the rest.
During their rapid dash forward, Leo Ray cast a glance at the mighty catmen surrounding him, a trace of resignation crossing his features.
Right now, truly no additional mighty comrades trailed him; Taylor, Jasper Richardson, and Louise remained in the midst of rank progression, whereas Crisis and his group firmly guarded the pair of friendly strongholds.
Gray Elder and Yonir had headed to the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, leaving Elder Bing as the sole companion fighter, whom Leo Ray had stationed at Ice Stone City with Frost to swiftly rebuild the protective shield.
Shortly after, amid the field now locked in full-scale close-quarters brawl, Leo Ray and his band of catman powerhouses reached the spot Emily had described.
“Shifting this enormous boulder, which can withstand Tier 6 strikes, will expose the hidden doorway below.”
Leo Ray turned over his hand, producing a Summon Scroll for a Tier 6 stone giant.
Just as Leo Ray prepared to unleash the scroll, a figure long in hiding, radiating intense energy, lunged from the rock's rear, targeting a surprise strike at Leo Ray’s rear!
The assailant turned out to be the snake demon commander.
“Emperor of the Humans, die!”
The Medusa commander parted her crimson jaws, shifting into a colossal serpent, poised to swallow Leo Ray whole in a single gulp.
At the same time, the witch demon powerhouse grinned from concealment, unleashing a barrage of bone chains to briefly separate Leo Ray and Lannis.
“Your Imperial Majesty, be careful!”
Witnessing the foe set to waylay Leo Ray and unable to reach him promptly, Lannis’ expression turned frantic, leading him to shout.
“Haha, too late!”
The Medusa’s aura grew fiercer, her haughty, shrill cackle resounding across the area.
In the following instant, the mirth cut off sharply, supplanted by a solid impact against the earth.
While the Medusa commander neared Leo Ray, an unseen power slammed her down to the dirt, kicking up a dust storm.
The bulky serpentine body writhed wildly on the surface yet failed to advance even slightly.
“Gravity Suppression? So, a mighty supporter stands by Your Imperial Majesty!”
Lannis’ gaze sparkled, spotting a slim silhouette beside Leo Ray, the origin of the Gravity Magic.
Without question, this was Little Jie, who had deployed the binding field. As Leo Ray’s personal stone spirit, Little Jie had long synced perfectly with him in combat.
“How dare you try to ambush Lord!”
Little Jie flicked her fine hand, sending a torrent of magic projectiles erupting like an avalanche, pulverizing the adversary on the spot.
Since Leo Ray's ascent to Tier 6, Little Jie, previously weak in attacks, had gained far greater flexibility, able to match ordinary Tier 6 powerhouses.
At the same time, a swift shadow materialized silently behind the witch demon powerhouse, her slim blade carving endless silver trails, reducing the target to scattered ruins.
It went without saying, this was Leo Ray’s second stone spirit, Xiao Jing.
“Such ruthless tactics—these pair of foe Tier 6 powerhouses stood no chance to fight back.”
The display filled Lannis and the fellow catman powerhouses with deeper awe as they looked upon Leo Ray.
The Emperor of the Humans not only possessed vast personal strength but also commanded two awesome aides, explaining his boldness in infiltrating their heartland solo.
Furthermore, the Emperor of the Humans' effortless use of multiple Tier 6 Magic Scrolls rendered halting him a daunting task for any.
This discovery sparked fresh optimism in Lannis and his comrades, blending with their astonishment.
At first, confronting the mysteries of the enemy's Coronation Ground, they had accepted a doomed venture. Yet now, beholding Leo Ray’s capabilities anew stirred their spirits with possibility!
“Now I think I grasp why dwarf elves and various Outer Region powers revere Your Majesty of the Humans so much.”
Lannis stared at Leo Ray’s retreating form, pondering silently, “Clearly, Emily's assessment was spot on.”
Meanwhile, Leo Ray directed the invoked stone giant to shift the boulder, unveiling a vertical tunnel.
“Everyone, press on.”
With no delay, Leo Ray, ignoring the hulking stone giant's inability to follow, spearheaded the descent with his two stone spirits into the depths, as Lannis and the catman powerhouses trailed closely.
As they plunged further below, the clamor of combat at the access point receding, Leo Ray observed.
The tunnel proved quite confined, lined with pale, rigid stone formations that emitted a soft glow, sleek but patterned, as if carved by nature.
Still, this lay at the core of the barren wasteland, where reports showed sand burying depths over a hundred meters typically, suggesting the upper layers ought to brim with grains—this oddity baffled.
That said, with the pressing circumstances, Leo Ray prioritized scanning for magical snares over this peculiarity.
“From Emily’s intel, just a handful of Medusas knew this hidden path, Sina and Belinda among them.”
“Thus, it's no shock they'd set guards here, yet judging by things now, beyond the outer barriers, no signs of magical pitfalls appear.”
“Evidently, they never expected Emily to slip their trap; even the latest fortress was a hasty build, so this fits.”
“Meaning, until we storm the enemy's Crowning Place, our path stays clear of obstacles.”
True to Leo Ray's musings, navigating the later passages flowed without issue, free of blocks, until the group stepped into a spacious cavern.
The zone retained those same pale rigid walls, with built-in light sparing the use of illumination spells—like stepping into a ghostly pale realm.
Although this strange setting piqued the curiosity of Leo Ray’s team, it sparked no easing of vigilance, their steps growing more deliberate.
This marked the Medusas’ Crowning Place, their sacred core, steeped in quiet.
Facing their love for cunning ploys, a trap surely lurked within.
Yet, as Leo Ray and his allies advanced warily, the view that followed stunned them all.
