Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2926 1600: Ups and Downs (Part 2)

Just as a wave of his magic wand caused the space ahead to contort, two Dark Elf Hunters swiftly merged with the surrounding shadows, vanishing instantly into the cloak of night.

In the very next instant, the outline of one of the Dark Elf Hunters materialized behind the Broken Wing King. The short blade in his grasp flashed, lunging with deadly intent towards the nape of the latter's neck.

At this critical juncture, with the Tusk Prince fully occupied by another Dark Elf Hunter, the area around the Broken Wing King was left utterly exposed and defenseless.

"Did it work?"

Observing this turn of events, Lila and the others, though their faces betrayed no emotion, felt a surge of triumphant elation in their hearts.

However, Leo Ray's brow furrowed slightly, his concern shifting towards the safety of the Dark Elf Hunter.

As he had surmised earlier, the Broken Wing King's speed was exceptional, rivaling that of the Dark Elf Hunters. Even with such a sudden appearance, the Broken Wing King would surely have detected it and wouldn't stand idly by to be struck down.

His inaction was likely a ruse, a calculated display while a countermeasure was already in motion!

Indeed, even as the Dark Elf Hunter's blade neared its mark, two slender figures materialized from seemingly nowhere. They unleashed a punch imbued with a force capable of cleaving mountains, directly at the Dark Elf Hunter.

The entire sequence unfolded with astonishing rapidity. The Dark Elf Hunter's focus was so intently fixed on the perilously close Broken Wing King that he was completely taken by surprise.

Consequently, before the Dark Elf Hunter could even register what was happening, he absorbed two direct, potent blows. With a thunderous reverberation, he was sent hurtling through the air.

Upon impact, the protective energy barrier encasing the Dark Elf shattered instantly. He expelled a mouthful of blood, a clear indication of grievous injury.

Witnessing this, the two slender figures showed no hesitation, streaking forward like twin black meteors, their intent clearly to annihilate the Dark Elf Hunter. Fortunately, with a grit of his teeth, the hunter adjusted his trajectory mid-flight and plunged back into the shadows, narrowly evading utter destruction. However, it was undeniable that he had lost any capacity to continue the fight.

Emerging from the magical luminescence, the two slender figures became increasingly distinct, revealing themselves as two formidable Alchemy Puppets. Their visages bore only rudimentary carved features, and they exuded a potent aura, having reached the Half-step Tier 7 cultivation level.

Yet, unlike the Alchemy Puppets belonging to the Dark Elves, these slender constructs were a striking black-red hue, reminiscent of dried blood, lending them an exceptionally sinister appearance.

"The Broken Wing King has never before unleashed these Half-step Tier 7 Alchemy Puppets!"

Lila's starry eyes widened involuntarily, her face etched with profound astonishment.

Based on the sheer power those Alchemy Puppets had just demonstrated, she reckoned that even if she exerted her full strength, she could at best contend with one of them.

Beside Lila, the other companions wore similarly surprised expressions.

Amidst the collective bewilderment, the Giant Horned King, the Tusk King, and their retinue observed the unfolding events with mocking smirks, their reactions clearly indicating they had foreseen this outcome.

"Hahaha, mere Broken Ear mongrels, still harboring delusions of challenging the true majesty of His Majesty, the Broken Wing King?"

The Giant Horned King, his laughter unbridled and face devoid of restraint, declared, "Once our reinforcements arrive, you'll find yourselves with no place left to be buried!"

As the Giant Horned King's proclamation faded, ten additional Half-step Tier 7 powerhouses, accompanied by a dense phalanx of elite guards, surged from every conceivable direction, each exuding an aura of aggression and ferocity.

Leo Ray recognized most of these formidable enemy combatants from his entry into the area. While they hadn't remained directly by the Broken Wing King's side, they had been stationed to guard crucial sectors of this colossal Cultivation Academy. It was evident they had been alerted by the commotion and had hastened to provide support.

Sizing up the intensified situation, their own side collectively frowned. After all, they were deep within enemy territory, a position that offered absolutely no tactical advantage.

Most crucially, the arrival of these enemy reinforcements undeniably complicated matters significantly.

"Regrettably, this particular garden has been completely sealed off by us. Your reinforcements will be unable to breach our defenses for the time being."

A peculiar, clear voice resonated through the air. Leo Ray followed the sound, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Standing before him was the freckled servant girl from the Broken Wing Clan, the one who had previously faltered.

Coinciding with the freckled servant girl's declaration, a remarkable shift occurred.

Those enemy reinforcements, who had just arrived and were steadily advancing, suddenly turned upon each other, erupting into chaotic and brutal combat.

During the ensuing melee, figures cloaked in the darkness of the Dark Elf Hunters would periodically materialize, delivering a silent verdict of death to their unsuspecting adversaries.

Presently, it dawned on everyone that numerous Broken Ear Dark Elves had stealthily infiltrated the enemy's reinforcement contingent, cleverly masquerading as part of the opposition.

"So, this young maiden from the Broken Wing Clan was also in disguise? To successfully infiltrate the heavily fortified Throne Corridor Headquarters, equipped with various detection measures, and evade notice from so many individuals—these Broken Ear Dark Elves are truly remarkable."

Just as Leo Ray was contemplating this, precisely as predicted, the young, freckled maid from the Broken Wing Clan lifted her black-and-white apron. In an instant, she transformed into a Dark Elf Hunter, adorned in black attire.

With a lithe and slender physique, she too wore a stealth mask, obscuring her facial features. However, judging by the surrounding Broken Ear Dark Elves, it was evident she commanded them as their leader.

"It's no wonder the Five Defensive Barriers of the Lonely King have been breached successively. It turns out you infiltrated the King's elite guard. I presume the Magic Towers supporting these barriers have already been covertly destroyed by you?"

Sparse applause broke the tension. The Broken Wing King, with a sneer, directed his gaze at the Broken Ear Leader. "You wretched shadows never cease to exceed expectations, do you?"

"The last time you annihilated so many of our comrades, did you truly believe we would simply endure it? As long as our employer's mission remains unfulfilled, we will never easily concede."

The Broken Ear Leader let out a cold snort, slowly advancing towards the Broken Wing King.

At this critical juncture, overwhelmed by the surprise assault from the disguised Dark Elves, more than half of the surging enemy reinforcements had already fallen. Merely a handful of Half-step Tier 7 powerhouses were still managing to resist.

Yet, with the Dark Elves having discreetly replaced some of the supporting Half-step Tier 7 combatants, these remaining adversaries, despite their efforts, were incapable of causing significant disruption.

In essence, as a direct consequence of the enemy reinforcements' arrival, the battle's previously shifting momentum had now returned to a precarious stalemate.

"Haha, is that so? How about letting the Lonely King assume the role of your employer? Provided you reveal the mastermind orchestrating this, the Lonely King shall remunerate you tenfold, no—a hundredfold the agreed commission!"

The Broken Wing King, folding his arms and smirking, continued, "What do you say? That should be more than enough to ensure your prolonged and joyful existence."

"Cease your delusions. We will never betray our employer. It is our absolute principle and the bedrock upon which our reputation on this land is built."

The Broken Ear Leader's eyes radiated pure disdain. He scoffed coldly, "Furthermore, your wealth is nothing but ill-gotten gains. We hold no interest in it!"

"It appears negotiations have proven fruitless, then."

The Broken Wing King casually raised an eyebrow, his expression swiftly turning sinister as he spoke with icy coldness. "Just a pack of notorious outcasts, spurned by your clan, daring enough to refuse my offer? Very well, do not blame the Lonely King for his ruthlessness."

"Today, not a single one of you shall depart from this place alive!"

In response to the Broken Wing King's chilling proclamation, dozens of slender figures, emanating a sharp and potent aura, materialized abruptly. This sudden appearance decisively tipped the scales of the battlefield once more.
