Despite a valiant effort, Leo Ray's forces are facing overwhelming numbers as the Broken Wing King's massive armies converge. The Broken Wing King, confident in his superior strength, mocks Leo Ray. However, Leo Ray remains unyieldingly calm, hinting at a hidden advantage.

Before the Broken Wing King could finish his pronouncement, the Wrathful Prince's countenance suddenly became rigid, evidently receiving a flurry of urgent dispatches. He swiftly relayed to the Broken Wing King, "Your Majesty, intelligence from myriad spies confirms that the rebellious armies, including the Stone Giants, Half-Titans, Desert Fishmen, Moon Shadow Deer People, and Dark Half-Elves, have all vanished discreetly from their original territories!"

"This is dire, hasten to order the three approaching armies to heighten their vigilance! The environs of the Cultivation Academy may already be swarming with covert enemy combatants!"

The Broken Wing King initially unleashed an enraged bellow, then, his expression darkening, fixed his gaze upon Leo Ray, demanding sternly, "Are you the Emperor of the Human Race?"

"Is it not somewhat delayed to ascertain this fact now?"

With a flourish of his armored cape, Leo Ray swiftly altered his attire, reverting to his customary longsword and leather armor ensemble.

The moment Leo Ray concluded his statement, a relentless barrage of magical cannon fire erupted from the exterior. The sheer volume of the sound instantly drowned out all other noises, as if the entire world quivered in unison.

Bridging the interval, came succession after succession of deafening magical detonations. The sheer kinetic force was profoundly astonishing, incessantly bombarding the auditory senses of all present.

Interspersed with the earth-shattering magical concussions, cries of anguish and lamentation began to permeate the air, alongside confounded oaths and lamentable sobs.

"Your Majesty, the three legions advancing toward the Cultivation Academy have been unexpectedly ambushed! They are encircled by formidable contingents, comprising Half-Titans, Stone Giants, Desert Fishmen, and Moon Shadow Deer People!"

The Wrathful Prince's aged visage contorted dramatically. Unable to modulate his voice, he hastily conveyed this intelligence to the Broken Wing King.

Upon absorbing this news, not only the Broken Wing King but even his haughty subordinates, such as the Giant Horned King, were utterly taken aback, scarcely able to process the information.

Conversely, the monarchs of neutral factions and the Broken Ear Dark Elves, after a brief spell of stunned silence, found themselves suffused with an encouraging sense of elation.

It was revealed to be that enigmatic figure, the recently acclaimed Emperor of the Human Clan! Only the Human Clan's Emperor, endowed with the Land of Divine Favor, could have orchestrated the clandestine deployment of such a vast number of our forces!

"Is that indeed the Emperor of the Humans? That he managed to unite forces like the Half-Titans and the Stone Giants is truly difficult to fathom."

Within their stirred hearts, the neutral monarchs couldn't refrain from directing gazes of profound respect towards Leo Ray. Even the Broken Ear Chieftain, amidst the ferocity of the ongoing engagement, directed his luminous gaze towards that imposing figure.

It was through the ingenious strategic design of this Emperor of the Human Clan that we, facing dire circumstances, perceived a renewed glimmer of hope for victory!

Shifting the scene to the exterior of the Cultivation Academy, precisely as imparted earlier, our assembled fifteen factions commanding forty-five Tier 5 Legions had fully dispersed, initiating a surprise offensive under the cloak of darkness.

Adhering to Leo Ray's meticulous strategy, these forty-five legions were further segregated into three distinct assault routes.

One route, spearheaded by the Half-Titans and Stone Giants, was tasked with neutralizing the reinforcement waves emanating from the Broken Wing Kingdom. Having undergone complete enhancements by Leo Ray, the Half-Titans and Stone Giants possessed combat capabilities that were undeniably the most formidable, thus they were pitted against the elite Broken Wing Royal Army Corps.

A second route, led by the Dark Half-Elves, was designated to confront the Broken Wing Army advancing from the Throne Corridor Headquarters, where the Sky Island had materialized, continuously disgorging fresh troops.

The final route, commanded by the Desert Fishmen and the Tunnel Foxmen, was allocated to intercepting the reinforcements from another opposing front.

Through a calculated series of ambushes, the three advancing columns of enemy reinforcements were caught largely unprepared. Some even had their Absolute Defense Barriers breached, resulting in substantial casualties.

Nevertheless, the enemy's response was commendably swift. Almost instantaneously, the incoming reinforcements engaged our forces in close-quarters combat, seeking to exploit their familiarity with the terrain to rapidly overcome us.

"Emperor of the Humans, what is your motive for opposing the Lonely King?"

The Broken Wing King swiftly comprehended the unfolding predicament. He fixed a frigid glare upon Leo Ray, his hawk-like eyes blazing with murderous intent.

"Preposterous! You presume to treat my Human Domain as mere sustenance or, worse, as chattel, yet I am denied the right to strike preemptively?"

Leo Ray responded with a cold, dismissive sneer, as two potent Seventh Stage Attack Scrolls materialized within his grasp.

In the subsequent instant, well over a hundred magical wind dragons and an equal number of magical fire dragons surged forth in unison, their forms intertwining as they emitted roars directed toward the enemy lines.

Where the colossal magic dragons once blazed a trail, the very flora and arboreal life were annihilated in mid-flight, searing the earth with stark, blackened scars.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Following a sequence of earth-shattering magical detonations, as the swirling debris subsided, the Broken Wing King stood unscathed, entirely impervious to the barrage of attacks.

"Humanity's Emperor, your demise is ordained today!"

After enduring repeated public humiliation before Leo Ray, the Broken Wing King's fury was palpably profound. With a mere gesture, a vast assembly of alchemical puppets materialized.

These constructs, retaining their grim and sanguinary aspect, had their individual potency somewhat diminished compared to the previous half-step Tier 7 specimens, yet their sheer numbers swelled into the tens of thousands.

"An entire Tier 5 Alchemical Puppet Legion, supplemented by hundreds of Tier 6 units, truly showcases the formidable depth of the Broken Wing King's resources!"

Upon witnessing this deployment, the previously impassioned neutral monarchs found themselves swallowing hard, their enthusiasm visibly tempered.

None had anticipated that even at this critical juncture, the Broken Wing King possessed such latent strength. An entire Tier 5 Legion, if strategically employed, could inflict devastating damage upon a standard second-tier power!

Concurrently, on another sector of the tumultuous battlefield, the malevolent visages of the Giant Horned King's retinue reappeared, a sneer contorting their features.

How could a mere Human Emperor possibly presume to challenge the authority of the Broken Wing King? Such audacity was sheer folly! With the might of His Majesty the Broken Wing King backing him, he could obliterate that insignificant human emperor with sheer force alone!

However, no sooner had the Giant Horned King and his subordinates reveled in this thought, than the unfolding spectacle before them compelled them to widen their bewildered eyes anew.

"Cease these trivial displays. They are beneath notice."

Leo Ray's measured voice resonated, and in response, a dense phalanx of alchemical puppets also emerged; in both quantity and caliber, they directly mirrored the enemy's forces.

These were, naturally, the alchemical constructs crafted by the Dwarf Elves. Although some were lost previously to the Moon Shadow Deer People, the depletion was far from critical.

Before the Broken Wing King and his assembled forces could fully register their surprise, Leo Ray gestured, dispatching his alchemical puppets forward to unleash a ferocious assault upon the opposing lines.

The Broken Wing King, refusing to concede, bellowed a command, directing his own alchemical puppets to engage in a fierce counter-offensive, resulting in an immediate clash with Leo Ray's advancing ranks.

Swiftly, the localized skirmishes within the garden grounds escalated into a maelstrom of conflict, the resounding echoes of clashing energies reverberating across the heavens and earth. Fortunately, the expansive nature of the garden prevented any sense of undue congestion.

Leo Ray's gaze remained intently fixed upon the Broken Wing King, positioned at the heart of the enemy formation, his brow furrowing slightly.

The defensive capabilities this adversary wields are evidently extraordinarily robust; without first neutralizing or depleting them, inflicting even the slightest harm seems an insurmountable task. The vexing aspect is, I possess no insight into the methods he employs.

"It appears direct confrontation is the sole viable recourse."

With this resolute thought, a vibrant purple magical light emanated from Leo Ray's form, his lightning-infused longsword brought to the ready. In a thunderous flash, he surged towards the Broken Wing King.

"Insignificant wretch, seeking to face our King in personal combat? You lack the standing for such an endeavor!"

A chilling, aged voice pierced the air as the Wrathful Prince, his eyes cloudy with malice, directly obstructed Leo Ray's forward momentum.

In the subsequent instant, the Withered Wood Staff held within his grasp swept through the air with alarming speed, and Leo Ray instantly perceived the fabric of the surrounding space contort and warp, ensnared by the opponent's Space Shackles.

"A mere human like yourself shall be cast into oblivion!"

The Wrathful Prince's aged facial features contorted further with ferocious intent, his entire being radiating a palpable aura of homicidal rage.
