Leo Ray, disguised as a Stone Giant, infiltrates a fortress controlled by the Broken Wing Clan with Lila and a guard contingent. They face suspicion from a general who questions their disguises and Leo's apparent strength, but Lila's assertive stance and threats related to the Broken Wing King's volatility cause the general to back down. The group proceeds through further inspections, successfully concealing a vital storage bracelet, and Leo readies himself to enter the Throne Corridor.

The rapid sensation of weightlessness passed, and the environment shifted in an instant. When Leo Ray’s sight returned to normal, he found himself in an expansive area, encircled by numerous floating magical orbs.

These countless glowing spheres bathed the entire space in light, much like broad daylight. Leo Ray surveyed his surroundings, realizing that he and his entourage were positioned on a colossal Sky Island suspended in the nocturnal heavens.

The twin crescent moons above appeared almost within reach, suspended amidst the stars along the horizon.

Based on the intel from Lila and Hollis, Leo Ray was already informed.

This location served as the central hub for the Throne Corridor. In the past, upon securing his position within the Throne Corridor, the Broken Wing King had established this place as a secondary base outside the Broken Wing Kingdom.

It was understood that this Sky Island was purchased at a significant cost by the Broken Wing King from the Winged Race, given that among the Ten Thousand Clans, only the Winged Race possessed the skills to construct such floating islands.

At that time, numerous second-tier powers expressed considerable surprise at the Broken Wing King's decision. After all, inhabiting a Sky Island was a distinctive characteristic of the Winged Race. However, considering the shared lineage between the Broken Wing Clan and the Winged Race—despite the former lacking their majestic wings—it seemed plausible upon further reflection.

The two crescent moons were faintly visible through the clouds. Feeling the cool night air caress his face, Leo Ray's gaze briefly settled within the ocular openings of his helmet.

Around the teleportation array where his party had materialized, many similar departure zones were arranged consecutively. Periodically, groups of formidable individuals from other second-tier powers would emerge from these arrays.

The composition of these second-tier power contingents mirrored his own almost exactly, led by a clan leader and accompanied by several high-ranking officials and their guards.

It was quite apparent, just as with his contingent, that the number of members in each group was strictly regulated, having clearly undergone careful scrutiny by the hosting entity.

Dominating the view before the teleportation array was a monumental city, its scale rivaling that of the Land of Divine Favor. Coupled with the parallel night sky and the starry moons, it presented a truly spectacular vista, appearing to soar above the very clouds.

“Your Majesty, allow us to proceed.”

Lila offered a slight nod to Leo Ray before resuming her forward movement.

Following the meticulously laid pathway extending from the teleportation array, Leo Ray paid increased attention to his surroundings.

The sheer discipline and density of the Broken Wing clan soldiers patrolling the route were beyond description. The flower beds flanking the path were adorned with a diverse array of magical flora.

Among these, Leo Ray identified many exceptionally rare and valuable species, some comparable in worth to Tier 6 Magic Potions.

In addition to the vivid magical blossoms, the very planters themselves signified immense wealth and heritage, exquisitely decorated with gold and inlaid with magical crystals. Numerous fountains sculpted from gems, with water gushing forth, added to the splendor, appearing exceptionally magnificent under the luminescence of the magical spheres, almost like a reflection of the Moon Shadow Deer People’s idyllic dreams.

Witnessing these ostentatious decorations, Lila, Kira, and the other Stone Giants couldn't help but slightly knit their brows. They understood that this opulence was a direct consequence of the Broken Wing King's increasingly extravagant plunder in recent years.

After navigating the path preceding the teleportation array, the group reached the grand plaza before the colossal city gates.

As it was not yet time to enter the designated area, the city gates remained firmly sealed, with only vigilant sentinels scanning the surroundings ceaselessly from their vantage points on the city walls above and below.

“To keep so many clan leaders from second-tier powers waiting outside the city, this Broken Wing King certainly displays considerable arrogance.”

Leo Ray positioned himself in a less conspicuous spot within the assembled ranks, raising an eyebrow slightly.

At that moment, in addition to his own group, numerous contingents from other second-tier powers had already arrived.

Across the expansive view, there were giants whose stature matched his own team, as well as forces like the diminutive humanoid Broy and the Dwarf Elf folk. Various other humanoid factions were also present.

Among them were many factions that had previously established alliances with his side, including Prince Chasing Shadow representing the Dark Half-Elves, and the elder Fishman King along with Princess Lena from the Desert Fishmen.

Noticing Leo Ray's observation, the old Fishman King and Lena promptly responded with subtle nods, while Prince Chasing Shadow offered only a fleeting, impassive glance.

Soon, as more and more teams converged, various factions began to intermingle. It was evident they were largely accustomed to the Broken Wing King's imperious demeanor, choosing not to dwell on it excessively.

“Heh, Stone Giant Clan Chief, it has been some time.”

A graceful lady from the Fox People arrived with her entourage, initiating a cordial exchange with Lila. This sophisticated Fox Person, whom Leo Ray had encountered recently, belonged to one of the factions aligned with Lila, the leader of the Tunnel Foxman Clan. This clan, in turn, had also forged an alliance with Leo Ray's own group. To avoid drawing undue attention from the other observers, both leaders maintained a facade of having not met for a considerable period, engaging in an animated dialogue. "Heh, the Clan Leader of the Foxmen speaks the truth. I, too, find this style of leather armor quite agreeable. It certainly doesn't impede my movements in the slightest," she remarked. While the two clan leaders conversed, providing a distraction, Leo Ray subtly surveyed the area around them. Moments later, with a final flicker of the gray light emanating from the teleportation array nearby, Hollis, at the head of the Half-Titan contingent, and Grand Elder Glen, leading the Moon Shadow Deer People, materialized one after another. After casting furtive glances in Leo Ray's direction, they strategically positioned themselves around the city's entrance.
