Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2854: 1563: Plans and Actions (Part 2)

Capítulo 2854: Chapter 1563: Plans and Actions (Part 2)

Upon hearing Leo Ray's statement, the tense expressions on everyone's faces eased at last, and they nodded in unison.

“Yet the issue remains: the enemy summoning all so hastily must harbor malicious plans.”

Moli responded promptly this time, cocking her head while saying, “I keep sensing they'll cause chaos during the gathering.”

“That's why staying prepared is crucial; we'll simply give it our all.”

Leo Ray gave a faint nod, directing the group, “Commence the operations without delay.”

With that, Leo Ray promptly issued the necessary arrangements.

To start, avoiding detection from the foe, the Stone Giant forces will stay dormant for the moment, poised to strike anytime, thanks to Ice Stone City's teleportation allowing rapid deployment anywhere.

Next, using Nox's intel, sketch a path to contact as many prospective allies as possible, gauge their present conditions, and boost persuasion odds.

Finally, proceed to the following faction, which is obviously the Half-Titans who have pledged loyalty to us.

With deployments set, Leo Ray, flanked by his elite followers and the Lila sisters, hastened back to Ice Stone City. Though night had fallen, the pressing timeline demanded swift action.

In transit, Leo Ray succinctly updated the Territory and Human Domain subordinates on events, ordering heightened alertness since Ariel Watson was still advancing, so no break was needed for her.

Before long, Leo Ray's entourage reached the Half-Titan capital's main entrance.

“Your Majesty!”

Hollis, with Bruce and Rax in tow, had awaited there awhile, rushing forward to bow deeply before Leo Ray.

The youthful Half-Titan New King had intended a grand reception, but Leo Ray halted it; flaunting might now was unwise.

After signaling them to stand, Hollis's anxious tone emerged, “Your Majesty, Throne Corridor's envoy arrived this evening.”

“I'm aware; that's exactly why I've come rushing through the night.”

Leo Ray nodded lightly, telling the assembly, “We'll talk inside the city.”

“Understood, Your Majesty.”

Hollis and company led onward without pause.

Quickly, they traversed the vast, imposing streets of the Half-Titans, reaching the royal city's central fortress.

The interior echoed Stone Giant aesthetics, but featured bronze accents everywhere, with lines of enormous Shields and Battle Axes lining the halls as ornaments.

Illumination came not from glowing Light Crystal Stones or orbs, but from ever-flickering Magic Flames; shadows danced with shields and axes, lending the fortress an aura of timeless antiquity.

“Gotta admit, the Half-Titan fortress boasts a distinctive flair.”

Moli, dwarfed in the colossal hallway, blurted out admiringly.

Next to Moli, Lila and Kira wore matching looks of wonder, eyes darting about the environs.

As lifelong rivals to the Half-Titans, the Stone Giants had never entered this place before.

In battles against Half-Titans, they'd fantasized myriad assaults on this emblem of Half-Titan pride, yet never dreamed of strolling through so boldly.

Hollis and his group ignored the Lila sisters' musings, eagerly recounting to Leo Ray the endless exploitation by Throne Corridor over the years.

“It mirrors the Stone Giants' plight almost exactly?”

Ushered by Hollis, Leo Ray settled into a ready chamber, nodding thoughtfully.

“Your Majesty, the envoy demands a summit tomorrow evening—clearly ominous, the timeline's too tight; something's off.”

Worry etched Hollis's bronze visage as he pressed on, “Their relentless plundering will plunge Half-Titans into starvation soon.”

Finished, the trio dropped to their knees before Leo Ray, begging, “We beseech you, Your Majesty, guide us!”

“Quite the déjà vu.”

Leo Ray inwardly chuckled, lifting them up one by one, nodding, “That's my worry too, but rest assured, we have countermeasures ready.”

Here, Leo Ray recounted the recent Stone Giant developments.

“Truly befitting Your Majesty, crushing Nox so decisively!”

Hearing this, Hollis and crew displayed sheer awe, their eyes brimming with deeper veneration for Leo Ray.

It was a feat they'd long pondered, yet Leo Ray achieved it with ease!

Thrilled, Hollis composed himself, declaring gravely to Leo Ray, “Your Majesty, Half-Titans stand eternally at your side—command us as you will!”

“Stone Giants as well!”

Catching Hollis's pledge, Lila and Kira jumped in together, unwilling to lag.

Post-statement, these former foes glanced at each other again, brows creasing faintly.

Though Leo Ray had mediated, ending open rivalry, their rivalry persisted subtly.

“I see neither wishes to fall short, but channel that rivalry into our current tasks—remember, our aim is toppling the Broken Wing Clan from Throne Corridor's throne.”

Noticing the exchange sharply, Leo Ray nodded to Hollis and Lila; healthy competition held merits.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Hollis and Lila thumped chests, bowed, and affirmed resolutely; as clan heads, they grasped priorities in crises.

“One vital task demands urgent handling now.”

Leo Ray rose, heading for the exit,

Namely, the Half-Titans' upgrades.

Shortly after, Leo Ray exited the final Equipment Vault in the fortress, leaving behind mounds of vibrant Exotic Equipment, and stunned expressions on Hollis and others.

Regaining composure, they prostrated in gratitude beyond description at Leo Ray's feet, as he palmed three vivid Magic Medicines to Hollis.

“Tier 6 Transformation Magic Medicines—their purpose needs no explanation.”

Leo Ray nodded at Hollis, stating, “Your massive build calls for a more humanoid shape for convenience.”

Post-upgrade, Leo Ray elevated all Half-Titan Tier 5 Transforming Magic Potions to Tier 6.

Then, he passed one to Lila for Payton.

As Leo Ray noted, Hollis and kin, though Half-Giants, towered over five meters with sturdy frames.

Visiting other second-tier realms thus would draw excessive notice; Illusion Techniques altered appearances only superficially, not enabling passage through standard halls and portals.

“Gratitude for Your Majesty's bounty!”

Hollis and others beamed with delight, bowing profoundly.

“Politeness aside, time presses—onto our initial destination.”

Leo Ray gestured dismissively, eyeing Hollis and Lila, “The nearest second-tier force is the Dark Half-Elves, right?”

Per the map Lila's group outlined earlier, yes, the Dark Half-Elf Kingdom came first.

“Precisely, Your Majesty.”

Lila nodded briskly, then pulled a peculiar face, wryly grinning, “But Your Majesty, conditions there are rather special; I recommend skipping to the subsequent one.”
