Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2742: 1505: Reinforcements and Shocking Upheaval (Part 2)

“Crisis, Fanny, on this occasion, you’ll guard the opposite flank alongside Luther Blues, Bruno, and the rest of the top Tier 6 warriors. Meanwhile, I’ll stay put with Moli and the leftover Tier 5 experts to hold this position. Stay connected with me constantly, and make sure nobody wanders off too much.”
Leo Ray softly stroked his chin while devising a fresh plan.
After all, the biggest danger lies in the [Divine Stone], so it’s too risky to split up Serena Clark, Stella Clark, and the other Tier 5 [Divine Stone] bearers.
Even though these key allies have undergone rigorous preparation and climbed to the peak of Tier 5 one after another, they still lag far behind Tier 6 powerhouses, just like the Tier 5 Stone Spirits.
Regarding Crisis and Fanny, they’re battle-hardened pros, and boosted by the Divine Stone Weapon, they can manage a separate front on their own.
“Understood, Lord!”
The pair of Fairy Clan followers pressed their hands to their hearts in respect before dashing off to the far side with the elite fighters.
With the setup complete, Leo Ray picked up his speed and shortly arrived near the assigned City Wall.
Yet, an unexpected twist unfolded.
The thunderous blasts from the Magic Cannons beyond the walls suddenly halted, signaling that the “Corrosion” had ended its assault.
Spotting this, Leo Ray and Moli shared a look of astonishment and hurried up to the City Wall.
“Esteemed Lord Brave, your presence honors us!”
A middle-aged Dwarf Elf General, flanked by a squad of Alchemy Puppets, came forward to meet him; his shadowed features betrayed a touch of bewilderment. “The foes halted their onslaught out of nowhere and pulled back like a receding wave.”
“Things were on the brink of disaster only moments ago—how did the attackers just withdraw so abruptly?”
Leo Ray peered over the sturdy battlements to the deserted streets below. Scattered Parasite remains dotted the area, but no sign of “Corrosion” remained.
“No idea here. It’s like they got an urgent call and fled in a rush.”
The Dwarf Elf General shook his head, still baffled, while the other defenders on the City Wall, much like those in Observation City, slumped to the ground in near collapse, utterly drained.
“Perhaps they picked up on some urgent alert?”
Moli cocked her head and murmured to Leo Ray, “Young human, might the Parasite General have warned the external ‘Corrosion’ that they couldn’t scatter our troops fully, leading to this brief pullback for a new tactic?”
“The picture’s still fuzzy right now. Since the threat’s paused for the moment, we should link up with Crisis and Fanny without delay.”
Leo Ray pondered no more and guided his warriors back inside the Fortress.
Right as they hit the wall’s base, Crisis and Fanny’s team came back. Crisis advanced and briefed Leo Ray, “Lord, when we got to the City Wall, the enemies had already fallen back.”
“We saw the same over here—no oddities?”
Noting the warriors were all safe, Leo Ray let out a relieved breath.
“Your worry is appreciated, Lord. Nothing unusual.”
Crisis grinned and, as though something popped into her mind, added, “Oh, and Lord, we discovered this atop the City Wall.”
At that, Crisis’s sheer wings shimmered as she appeared to grasp an item, soaring over to Leo Ray.
Suddenly, as Crisis drew near Leo Ray, a savage Wind Blade erupted from her, slashing straight toward him.
Only then did it dawn on everyone that Crisis clutched nothing whatsoever! Meaning, her approach to Leo Ray was intentional!
“Lord, be careful!”
Xiao Jing, always alert at Leo Ray’s side, swiftly triggered the Absolute Defense Barrier, clenching her jaw to repel the abrupt strike.
The clamor and shockwave from the Wind Blade clashing against the Barrier Wall revealed a power matching a half-step Tier 7 master’s utmost effort!
“Shield the Lord!”
Witnessing this, the warriors with Leo Ray gripped their arms tighter and formed a protective ring around him, ramping up the tension in the air.
After the first strike missed, Crisis pressed on relentlessly. A ferocious gale whipped up around her, sending a storm of hundreds of Wind Blades hurtling at Leo Ray once more.
Even more astonishingly, at that instant.
It wasn’t just Crisis—Fanny, Luther Blues, Bruno, and the other Tier 6 defenders from the opposite side also ignited with malice, firing off a torrent of spells and sword gleams at Leo Ray and his escorts!
In a flash, the Fortress, which had barely settled, erupted back into a lethal warzone.
Luckily, following Leo Ray’s cue, Xiao Jing widened the Absolute Defense Barrier’s coverage, safeguarding the nearby warriors. Absent that, the Tier 5 allies and Broy’s Tier 5 Dwarf Elves would probably suffer devastating losses.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under this brutal barrage, the Barrier Wall shuddered and faded noticeably.
“Pour every bit of energy into the Absolute Defense Barrier!”
In their stunned state, Moli and the escorting warriors channeled their full power into the support. Bolstered by the empowered Leo Ray, the Absolute Defense Barrier held steady for now.
“Young human, looks like all your followers have fallen to parasitism as well.”
Moli gripped her Magic Wand tightly, furrowed her brow, and remarked, “The ‘Corrosion’s’ infestation rate is shockingly swift, isn’t it?”
“This isn’t parasitism—it’s fakes posing as them.”
Leo Ray scrutinized the contorted expressions of the rampaging “Crisis” and “Fanny,” replying, “The real Crisis and Fanny master Earth Magic, but these are wielding Wind assaults. ‘Luther Blues’ and ‘Bruno’s’ moves don’t match the genuine versions either.”
Leo Ray’s observation hit home for the escorting warriors.
The Lord’s spot on. These figures mimic the appearance and aura of the true Crisis and company—even their gear matches—but their skills are off from the originals.
“No hints of illusion spells here—this isn’t a glamour trick.”
Moli’s expression brimmed with bewilderment as she exclaimed, “So, where on earth did these copycats emerge from?”
“Guessing games can wait; we’ve got to take out these frauds first.”
Leo Ray had already loosed a Thunder Strike at the foes, declaring, “No mercy—wrap this up fast.”
Responding to Leo Ray’s command, the escorting warriors unleashed their diverse powers, striking back at the surprise intruders.
Our retaliation clashed with the enemies’ onslaught mid-air, turning the battlefield into a whirlwind of escalating peril.
“Ultimately, the Fortress remains under our control. Daring to strike inside it—what audacious folly!”
Moli swung her Divine Stone Staff, warping the space to tangle several Tier 6 pretenders into knots, arching her brows. “Hemmed in by our forces, you’re just begging for doom!”
As Moli’s words rang out, the earlier Dwarf Elf General had rallied the City Guard, with reinforcements streaming in from various angles. Upon arrival, they leveled their crossbows and unleashed a hail of arrows with fierce intent.
Observing this, Moli puffed up with assurance. Though the City Guard lacks raw might, their sheer volume ensures the enemy can’t counter on two sides at once, trapped in a pincer assault!
Still, the ensuing events shattered all predictions.
The volley of arrows didn’t aim at the abrupt pretenders, but at our unguarded group instead.
