“As you command, Your Majesty!”
Lila along with the other two brimmed with thrill at Leo Ray's prompt move, nearly dropping to their knees in reverence once more.
One had to admit, the full-scale enhancement Leo Ray had just performed convinced everyone deep down that their decision from last night's feast was spot on.
And seeing his bold decisiveness now, how could they hold back their excitement? Who could guess what other hidden powerful tricks this youthful Human Clan Emperor still possessed!
Though his face remained composed, Leo Ray inwardly gave a bitter smile upon spotting the growing deference in the gazes of the three Stone Giants.
During the banquet, he'd exposed nearly every trick up his sleeve except for a handful of life-preserving Seventh Stage Attack Scrolls and Defense Scrolls, just managing to keep control of the situation; this time around, with the outcome still uncertain, he had no option but to clench his teeth and probe ahead.
Should the barrier prove unbreakable, he'd craft a reason to pull back temporarily—besides heading to the Half-Titan as planned, restoring the Treant Forest's Life Force remained a pressing task.
In the midst of Leo Ray's cautious thoughts contrasting with the trio's enthusiasm led by Lila, they departed the massive castle and hastened back to Ice Stone City.
Leo Ray's initial move upon arrival was calling forth the Stone Giant's top three Tier 5 elite armies, combined with his Dwarf Elf's Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets Legion and a hefty batch of Tier 5 Summon Scrolls, instantly mustering the might of six full Tier 5 armies with ease.
“Your Majesty, the Rift Valley lies right there!”
With preparations complete, Lila jabbed at the enormous fissure shown on the Magic Sandbox within Ice Stone City's Command Hall, giving Leo Ray a firm nod.
Shock painted her ashen features, mirrored perfectly by Kira at her side. From Ice Stone City's likeness to the Shadow Market to the wondrous Magic Sandbox revealing all, it shattered the Stone Giant sisters' wildest expectations.
This was because even visits to the Shadow Market barred them from control rooms or the Command Hall—realms utterly beyond their knowledge!
Most vitally, as a second-tier faction far savvier than Fanny, they grasped the weight of a Land of Divine Favor, proof positive that this Human Majesty truly sheltered the authentic Chosen Son of God—sole bearers of the power to wield such divine lands!
Needless to say, Chosen Sons of God hailed from the Silver Moon Era as forces mighty enough to earn awe from top-tier powers ruling the Ten Thousand Clans!
While Lila and Kira gaped in wonder, Payton—barred from human form—stayed back in Ice Stone City's designated zone for Stone Giant troops, since even if shorter than true Titans, Stone Giants couldn't squeeze into standard structures.
“Understood.”
After Lila's directions, Leo Ray gave a subtle nod to Elder Bing standing by.
The Elder got the cue, thumping his chest in salute before the Magic Screen's blue glow—showing external views—flickered. When clarity returned, the Royal Court was gone, supplanted by the Stone Giants' imposing Fortresses.
This sight intensified the Lila sisters' awe from their debut Ice Stone City teleport, for though Stone Giants boasted a solid Teleportation Gate web, nothing rivaled the Land of Divine Favor's instant travel anywhere.
“Your Majesty, I positioned these Fortresses here myself,”
Regaining poise amid inner amazement, Lila swiftly briefed Leo Ray, “The freshly formed Rift Valley sits just beyond the Fortress!”
“Let’s set off then.”
With a light nod, Leo Ray guided his band of mighty fighters from the Command Hall.
As Ice Stone City's gates swung open anew, Leo Ray emerged at the helm of the Stone Giants' Tier 5 forces and Lila, prompting the local commanders to rush up promptly.
“Salute Your Majesty and Clan Leader!”
Prepped in advance by Lila, the commanders displayed profound regard for Leo Ray with a majestic salute, placing his title foremost.
Momentarily, the kneeling Stone Giant commanders and troops formed perfect ranks, their armor clanging sharply in a display of stunning grandeur.
“These big guys sure know their manners.”
Moli nodded approvingly at the display, tossing her head in dramatic flair.
“Such a free-spirited lass.”
Leo Ray signaled the Stone Giant soldiers to stand, casting a resigned look at Moli.
His thoughts swirled around cracking that enigmatic barrier shortly, even pondering fallback excuses if it fell short.
Yet facing the Stone Giant soldiers' keen anticipation, Leo Ray kept such concerns hidden, turning his focus back to the spectacle.
True enough, the Stone Giant formations dwarfed regular troops in sheer visual dominance and majesty.
What's more, Leo Ray keenly observed that even Lila's group shared it: beneath the Stone Giants' reverent stares, subtle traces of anxiety and gravity lingered on their stony visages, plainly daunted by that enigmatic city.
