Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2910: 1592: Preparation and Forward Movement (2)

Capítulo 2910: Chapter 1592: Preparation and Forward Movement (2)

A subtle disguise was adopted by Leo Ray, with the distinctive beard and bushy eyebrows of a Stone Giant affixed to his face.

Moli and their other powerful allies, due to their rather conspicuous appearances, were instructed to remain on standby within Ice Stone City. The Throne Corridor's security system is comprehensive, rendering illusion techniques ineffective and potentially counterproductive if discovered by antagonists.

“Let’s depart.”

Lila gave Leo Ray a firm nod before directing the team to board the teleportation array. Joining Leo Ray and Lila, who maintained their human forms, Payton led a contingent of Stone Giant guards to accompany them.

Following a familiar sensation of light, Leo Ray’s vision cleared to reveal a formidable, unfamiliar fortress before him.

Peering through the narrow visor of his helmet, Leo Ray surveyed the surroundings, taking note of the impressive structure.

This colossal fortress flew two distinct banners. One displayed an emblem featuring a throne positioned before a grand gate, signifying the Throne Corridor’s insignia. The other banner bore the emblem of a half-consumed wing, the mark of the Broken Wing Clan.

Furthermore, several other teleportation arrays surrounded the one their group had just used, intermittently flickering with a gray luminescence as figures materialized from them.

This location served as a crucial transit point en route to the Throne Corridor, under the vigilant watch of the Broken Wing Clan's forces.

More accurately, it functioned as an outpost for the Throne Corridor, regulating the influx of foreign cultivators heading towards their destination.

An overwhelming aura permeated the fortress, both within and without, with soldiers of the Broken Wing Clan forming an unbreachable defensive perimeter.

“Well now, Stone Giant Clan Chief, it’s been some time.”

A hoarse, arrogant voice echoed, and a general of the Broken Wing Clan, accompanied by a squad of elite soldiers, swaggered forward with a grin. “You’re rather early this time around.”

“If you intend to inspect, do so swiftly. I, as the Clan Chief, do not possess the luxury to engage in idle chatter with you here.”

Lila’s response was cold and devoid of emotion.

As Lila concluded her statement, Payton and the others removed their helmets, followed by Leo Ray and Fei’er.

“Haha, still possessing that fiery temper, hasn’t changed one bit. I do wonder if you can maintain such a stance when facing our King?”

Despite the general’s smile, his eyes betrayed a deep-seated wariness and sharp scrutiny. Suddenly, he remarked, “Stone Giant Clan Chief, your aura seems somewhat strained, as if you’ve recently emerged from a fierce engagement. Did something transpire within the Stone Giant territory?”

He concluded his inquiry, narrowing his eyes as he continued to appraise Leo Ray’s group with a discerning gaze.

“There is no need for your concern, honored sir. Recently, our territory has been beset by incessant swarms of Demon Beasts. As the clan leader, it is only natural that I would personally lead the charge to quell the threat.”

Lila’s expression remained composed, her tone steady.

“Haha, there are few Demon Beast swarms capable of troubling you, the esteemed Clan Chief.”

The Broken Wing Clan general mulled over her words for a moment but did not press further, deeming an unstable aura to be hardly a cause for alarm.

“These two individuals appear to be unfamiliar faces.”

The general’s scrutinizing gaze shifted back to Leo Ray and Fei’er, his eyes narrowing as he added, “I must admit, Stone Giant Clan Chief, you possess a peculiar fondness for role-playing as humans, even choosing to equip your guards with human-like physiques.”

Confronted by the general’s probing stare, Leo Ray maintained an indifferent demeanor, betraying no hint of anxiety.

At this juncture, Leo Ray’s strength had been augmented to the peak of Tier 6 by Sheila’s special enhancements. Fei’er, likewise, had employed a secret spell to mask her true power, projecting an aura consistent with the peak of Tier 6, perfectly aligning with the strength expected of a Clan Leader’s guardian.

The general of the Broken Wing Clan was also at the peak of Tier 6, making it impossible for him to detect any discrepancies.

“What? The Broken Wing Kingdom harbors no objections to my actions, yet you presume to voice dissent?”

Lila clasped her arms, a cold sneer gracing her lips. “Or perhaps you question that which even the Broken Wing King himself would not?”

“Haha, Stone Giant Clan Chief, you jest. I, your humble general, am merely expressing concern on behalf of our King, never would I dare to question his authority.”

Lila’s words evidently struck a chord, as the Broken Wing Clan general instinctively stepped aside, gesturing for the group to proceed.

Without further comment, Lila led her companions toward the fortress gate, which began to slowly recede.

Within the confines of this grand fortress lay another teleportation magic array, the true gateway to the Throne Corridor Headquarters.

“Hold.”

The group had barely taken a few steps when the voice of the Broken Wing Clan general halted them from behind.

“Now what?”

Lila paused, her head turning slightly.

“Stone Giant Clan Chief, a Tier 6 Transforming Magic Potion is not a trifle, why would you lavish it on two mere guards?” The Broken Wing Clan general caught up, his expression sinister as he questioned, “Aren't these two simply humans?”

“Preposterous! These two are chieftains of my generation, newly appointed elders of the Stone Giants, naturally they qualify to use the Transforming Magic Potion.” Though feeling a prickle of unease, Lila's expression remained impassive. She snorted coldly, “If you are unconvinced, I can have them reveal their true forms. However, do not blame me for speaking frankly to the Broken Wing King. I doubt he would permit his questioning generals to remain here any longer.”

Upon hearing Lila’s thinly veiled threat, Leo Ray inwardly offered a helpless smile.

For an ordinary monarch, such words would likely fall flat, as this Broken Wing general was merely fulfilling his duties. Yet, the Broken Wing King was a different sort altogether – notoriously capricious and brutally violent, he had been known to turn on his own kin when angered. Consequently, not only his loyal generals but even other members of the Broken Wing royal family observed his edicts with utmost strictness, not daring to defy him.

“This…”

Indeed, upon hearing this, the Broken Wing general faltered, his complexion shifting noticeably.

Upon further reflection, the Stone Giant Clan Chief had no dealings with the human clan, let alone any need for human powerhouses to serve as guards. Moreover, even if these two were human powerhouses, they were only at Peak Tier 6, just like himself, so what real trouble could they possibly stir up?

No, to be precise, the Broken Wing Clan was currently thriving on a terrifying scale, its power far exceeding that of other second-tier forces. Who would dare to incite chaos on Broken Wing territory?

Mulling over these points, the Broken Wing general’s gaze shifted, and he ultimately made the wise choice to step aside, offering no further commentary.

“Wasting precious time.”

Lila cast a frigid glance at her interlocutor and then led her group onward.

After passing through the fortress gates, Leo Ray’s contingent underwent a series of inspections, which included the confiscation of their storage items. Fortunately, Moli and the child displayed considerable skill, concealing Leo Ray’s storage bracelet perfectly, ensuring the opponents detected nothing suspicious.

Throughout this process, Leo Ray further observed that the Broken Wing soldiers were impeccably trained and exceptionally equipped, their standards clearly surpassing those of ordinary second-tier forces in every aspect.

One could readily surmise that, should the Fishman or Deerman clans he had previously encountered fully engage, they would likely be utterly annihilated in an instant.

“Truly, despite his notorious reputation, this Broken Wing King exhibits considerable caution. He appears to be not merely a common tyrant, but a rather cunning individual as well.”

Leo Ray stood near the teleportation array, a thought forming in his mind, “Now, it is time to step onto the grander, true main stage.”

With this contemplation, Leo Ray stepped into the shimmering teleportation array.
