Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2783: 1526: The Upcoming Banquet (Part 2)

Leo Ray offered a subtle smile and moved aside, giving space to Fei’er.

“Your Majesty, I’ll take care of the remaining matters.”

Fei’er gave a nod to Leo Ray before advancing a step and addressing Old Gary and his companions, “Fellow members of the Broken Valley Alliance, all you have to do is master a unique secret spell to regain your true looks.”

“In essence, it resembles the summoning of a golem puppet, yet it’s far more complex and enigmatic, a versatile secret method suitable for both physical and magical practitioners.”

“Regarding the precise energy circulation, though it might prove challenging for many to understand, it should come easily to those of you with substitute bodies…”

Following Fei’er’s thorough description, Old Gary and the rest swiftly comprehended the core of the secret technique and started practicing it.

Before much time passed, a highly complex energy fluctuation erupted, transforming Old Gary’s form entirely. His visible bony structure vanished completely, giving way to an imposing elder of the Anthropoid Species, his frame sturdy and his features framed by thick gray facial hair.

Atop his head were ears akin to those of bear-like Demon Beasts, and a polished crown rested on his brow, shining with a vivid luster.

Observing this, Leo Ray gave a small nod to Elder Bing, and as the frosty mist rose, a pristine ice mirror materialized in the air.

“It’s been ages since I last beheld this visage; I’ve finally reclaimed my authentic self!”

Old Gary stared at his image in the mirror, his powerful build quivering with thrill—not from vanity over his looks, but from escaping the guise of a Dead Spirit at last!

As Old Gary reveled in his elation, the other powerhouses from the Broken Valley Alliance likewise restored their original forms, encompassing lithe Leopard-man warriors, burly Tiger-men warriors, and Eagle-men warriors whose wings were now folded away.

“Human Majesty, your benevolence is something we’ll cherish forever!”

Overflowing with emotion, Old Gary guided the Broken Valley Alliance’s powerhouses to drop to their knees, presenting Leo Ray with a profound salute.

“Elder Chief, there’s no call for such ceremony. You’ve battled by our side in the past and aided us through many trials. What we’ve done pales in comparison to your sacrifices.”

Leo Ray assisted the sturdy form to rise and grinned, “You’ve all earned this rightfully.”

“Encountering the Human Majesty is our supreme fortune!”

Old Gary’s excitement mounted, as he addressed Leo Ray with fervor: “Human Majesty, please enter the city and let us discuss matters. This place belongs to you!”

“Elder Chief, I’d relish a conversation with you, yet the looming danger won’t permit it.”

A touch of regret tinged Leo Ray’s smile, leading him to refuse courteously.

“Human Majesty, what’s the matter?”

Confusion etched across Old Gary’s weathered face as he inquired, “Is it due to the military shifts by the Half-Titans and Stone Giants? Our scouts indicate they’re positioning some forces on our borders, but since we’ve only recently arrived and lack a full intelligence setup, we haven’t ventured into their territory for reliable updates.”

“It appears the Elder Chief has a notion of it. Indeed, that’s the case.”

Leo Ray inclined his head faintly and recounted the full situation.

“What? The Half-Titans and Stone Giants are bringing their full primary forces here?”

Upon absorbing Leo Ray’s explanation, Old Gary’s bear-like ears perked up in astonishment.

The other Broken Valley Alliance powerhouses mirrored his shock, exchanging wide-eyed glances in bewilderment.

During the Broken Valley Alliance’s heyday, it had confronted these two second-tier factions, gaining firsthand knowledge of their might.

“Yet these two powers have long competed for Titan legitimacy, so why this abrupt action?”

Amid his astonishment, Old Gary pressed on, “Could it stem from our recent joint effort to eradicate the Witch Demon?”

“That could well be the underlying trigger, though I believe deeper motives might lurk beneath.”

Leo Ray gave a slight nod in response, “Regardless, joining their banquet will uncover the truth soon enough.”

“A fitting display from the Human Majesty! Aware of their malicious plans, yet undaunted.”

Old Gary clasped Leo Ray’s hand firmly again, voicing his sincerity, “Human Majesty, take us with you, I implore. The whole Broken Valley Alliance stands ready at your command!”

At Old Gary’s declaration, the remaining Broken Valley Alliance powerhouses nodded resolutely, their expressions alight with fervent resolve for battle.

“Very well, I entrust this to you all. We’ll reunite this evening.”

After exchanging a handshake with Old Gary, Leo Ray took his leave and headed back to Ice Stone City.

With the plans for the three alliances’ powerhouses settled, the focus shifted to bolstering our fighting capabilities further.

Upon returning to the Human Domain, Leo Ray’s initial move was to gather Serena Clark, Stella Clark, Scarlett, Gideon Black, Sarah Shawn, Elusa, Joshua Bingaman, Orion Wolfe, and Gals—the nine peak Tier 5 powerhouses—to hand out the Tier 6 advancement potions along with supporting elixirs.

Be it Serena Clark and her group wielding the [Divine Stone], or Joshua Bingaman and the fellow Alchemists, they form the heart of his forces and warrant focused nurturing. Scarlett, despite lacking the [Divine Stone] so far, has rendered invaluable service and merits this reward.

The thrilled recipients showered Leo Ray with profuse thanks and emotional tears following his lavish bestowal. This rare opportunity to ascend into the ranks of Tier 6 powerhouses realizes their long-held aspirations!

Notably, Leo Ray had acquired several supportive advancement potions from Observation City. Among them, the one that most effectively cuts down the advancement duration proves essential for the urgency-driven Leo Ray, since elevating his primary forces involves a brief dip in their battle readiness.

“Although Taylor, Jasper Richardson, and Louise cannot utilize these, their remarkable aptitudes ensure they’ll advance swiftly regardless.”

Within the King’s Hall of Lion Castle, Leo Ray observed his core experts depart before turning his gaze to the final silk box in his grasp, which exuded a potent fragrance.

Naturally, the remaining advancement opportunity went to Ariel Watson, the steadfast guardian of his home front.

In the King’s private quarters, as Ariel Watson accepted Leo Ray’s offering, the youthful ruler of Coldflame City didn’t display excessive exuberance but remained engrossed in the account of the Observation City conflict that Leo Ray had shared.

Ariel Watson’s luminous eyes fixed intently on the Lord standing before her.

Even as he downplayed the perils involved, her discussions with Asher Porter and others unveiled the intricate dangers woven into the tale.

The deceptive siege of the Fortress, navigating through Void Space for escape routes, and the climactic clash in Observation City all evoked chills, leaving her perspiring in retrospective fear.

Still, she refrained from showing overt concern; a Queen tasked with vigilantly securing the rear for her Lord couldn’t afford to appear rattled.

Such distraction might invite disastrous outcomes.

“Lord, exercise utmost care.”

Though myriad worries swirled in her mind, Ariel Watson condensed them into these simple words.

“Rest assured, I’ve got it all under control.”

Leo Ray nodded solemnly, offering a gentle pat on her head.

He fully grasped the depth of Ariel Watson’s concerns.

After some reassuring moments, Leo Ray didn’t delay further. He promptly made his way back to Ice Stone City, convening a strategy session with the Million Army commanders, drawing on lessons from Observation City to outline the anticipated clash with the two adversaries and directing them to ready themselves.

With every preparation finalized, twilight had already fallen.

“Now, it’s time to face this fateful evening.”

Leo Ray’s gaze held profound intensity as he peered toward the far-off skyline from the majestic city entrance.
