Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2638: 1452: Pacification and Curiosity
Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
On the grand walls of Ice Stone City, Leo Ray knitted his eyebrows deeply, pondering the upcoming plan.
With the threat at Desolate Fortress now lifted, uniting our troops alongside the Desert Alliance's is the sole path to shatter the deadlock surrounding Yingming Fortress.
Remember, Yingming Fortress is defended not just by Jess, Kris, Nal, and their companions, but also by the human warriors I've trained with great effort. Should it fall, the blow to me would be devastating.
As these thoughts raced through his mind, right when Leo Ray was about to reach out to Sina on this issue, a sudden urgent alert from the mind talk echoed in his head.
At the sound, beads of sweat instantly dotted Leo Ray's forehead.
From the earlier report by Kris, while Yingming Fortress's defenses were somewhat stronger, the peril there was infinitely graver than at Desolate Fortress.
To the point where Jess and the other ancient dark elves had to launch repeated assaults to draw enemy fire, preventing our unbreakable shield from crumbling.
And with this message arriving now, does that mean Yingming Fortress has fallen?
In the midst of his anxious musings, Leo Ray swiftly linked the mind talk, and Kris's breathless yet thrilled voice burst through.
“Your Excellency, Lord, owing to Grey Elder and his group's hard work, the massive forces of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance have halted their assault, and the danger at Yingming Fortress has been thoroughly averted!”
Upon hearing Kris's report, Leo Ray froze for a second, then his face lit up with renewed energy.
Though I'd sent Grey Elder, Yonir, Lina, and the rest to probe the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, my expectations weren't sky-high. The primary goal was simply to uncover the reason behind their troop deployment.
Yet Grey Elder and his team had surpassed all predictions by a wide margin!
“Got it, the Desolate Fortress crisis is over too. I'll wrap up here and join you soon. Until then, instruct the troops to stay vigilant.”
Leo Ray gave a small nod, then ended the mind talk and gazed downward at the city below.
Beneath the relentless assault and cannonade from the other Desert Alliance units, the Moon Demon Wolf Camp lay in ruins, with the bulk of the surviving Moon Demon Wolf fighters yielding. The conflict was nearing its close.
Witnessing this, Leo Ray faced Sina at his side and grinned, remarking, “Desert Leader, Your Excellency, this victory owes much to your aid.”
“Your Majesty of the Humans, no need for thanks. Without your bold stand alongside the Catmen to rescue me, I'd have been overwhelmed by those Guardians of Devouring ages ago. How else could we have ended the chaos here?”
Sina offered a gentle smile, gesturing dismissively, and added, “That's precisely why I call Your Majesty of the Humans the true game-changer. I'm just playing a minor part.”
Having endured countless brushes with death, Sina's eyes now held deeper layers of faith and admiration for Leo Ray, minus the former suspicion and scorn.
“Leader, Your Excellency, you're overly modest. Our progress to this point stems from every soul here being vital and irreplaceable.”
With those words, Leo Ray and Sina departed Ice Stone City side by side to oversee the cleanup of the lingering disorder.
Soon enough, as the hazy night began yielding to the first light of dawn, the fighting fully ceased.
“Reporting to Your Excellency, Leader, the Moon Demon Wolf Clan is fully subdued, and Belinda's followers have surrendered without resistance!”
At Desolate Fortress's entrance, Lannis bowed to Sina, announcing, “As for Lucas, he's been reduced to fragments, and we've located his remains!”
After delivering the update, Lannis glanced at Leo Ray next to Sina, his expression blending thankfulness and reverence.
Moments earlier, Leo Ray had entrusted the Masked Man Emily to Lannis, and with his daughter getting the care she needed, this Catman Clan Leader felt profound gratitude toward Leo Ray.
“Such an end was far too merciful for scum like him.”
A fierce spark ignited in Sina's lovely eyes. She pressed on at once, “Was there any trace of the Witch Demon?”
“Reporting to Your Excellency, Leader, nothing found, but the captured Moon Demon Wolf troops confirmed spotting signs of the Witch Demon in their ranks.”
Lannis shook his head in frustration, replying, “I suspect those fiends realized the tide had turned, ditched Lucas, and ran to save their hides.”
“That matches those villains' cunning ways perfectly; they'd never linger for a mere tool, but their reckoning draws near.”
Finishing her words, Sina gave Leo Ray a firm nod, declaring, “Your Majesty of the Humans, we need to swiftly eradicate the dire threat posed by the Witch Demon.”
“I'm in full agreement. I'll head to Yingming Fortress first to confer with the rainforest leader. Together, the three of us will encircle the city, wiping the foes from this territory for good.”
Leo Ray balled his fists with a crackling sound, affirming with a nod.
“Very well, I'll return to make preparations, and deal with some internal alliance and clan issues.”
Sina eyed the yielding Moon Demon Wolf Clan and Medusa warriors, her tone icy as frost.
“Until we meet again.”
Noting the subtle savagery on Sina's pale features, Leo Ray held his tongue. After parting from Sina and her group, he hastened from Ice Stone City toward Yingming Fortress.
“Your Majesty, you've made it!”
The instant Leo Ray exited Ice Stone City, Kris, Nal, and Grey Elder rushed forward to welcome him.
“You've all toiled immensely.”
