Chapter 1864: Chapter 1054 Competition in the Hall 2

“Could it be that this guy truly came prepared with a foolproof plan?”

The Scarlet Queen’s blood-red eyes narrowed slightly, intently watching Leo Ray’s calm demeanor.

However, after observing for a while, the Scarlet Queen still couldn’t discern any clues from Leo Ray’s gentle expression.

“This guy is overly composed, showing no signs of anything, no wonder he boasted earlier about being unfazed by collapsing mountains and silent amid a tsunami.”

The Scarlet Queen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as she carefully analyzed the current situation in her mind.

Just as this guy said, if there is no method of dealing, gathering the main forces in one place would be tantamount to self-destruction and would only lead to a quicker death.

“No, perhaps he is just bluffing, surely not possessing the strength to handle five armies at once, at most, he can deal with two or three simultaneously.”

“As the saying goes, a tiger cannot defeat a pack of wolves, not to mention the Coldflame Kingdom’s power is no longer what it once was. No matter how formidable this guy is, he absolutely cannot defend against five armies simultaneously.”

“The reason he says this is just to provoke us, the Ironhand Archipelago, into sending troops.”

“Only with us, the Ironhand Archipelago, stabbing the Rim Kingdom and the Pars Empire in the back, does this guy hold a shred of hope for victory.”

Upon reaching this conclusion in her mind, the Scarlet Queen’s expression returned to calmness.

It’s been a long time since she encountered such a cunning member of the Human Clan.

“His Royal Highness the Holy Lion, just by the mere act of troop mobilization, you claim to handle five armies. Isn’t this a little too unconvincing? The strength of the Coldflame Kingdom is well-known, how can you resist such strong foes?”

Virentin lightly stroked his chin, his pale face resembling powdered flour full of doubt: “If you think this pretext will persuade the Ironhand Archipelago, Your Highness, you are somewhat too naive.”

“Spirit Wand Prince, you’ve misunderstood. From the beginning, I never mentioned any alliance with your country; I merely disclosed a bit of intelligence for the sake of friendship between our two nations.”

Sitting casually with legs crossed on the chair, Leo Ray smiled and said, “Further, I must dispute Your Highness’s claim that my Coldflame Kingdom has no other allies.”

With Leo Ray’s astonishing words still echoing, the neatly seated vampire ministers glanced at each other again.

Their previous comments and reflections were all based on the premise that the Coldflame Kingdom was fighting alone. If it actually had allies, it indeed changes the present scenario significantly.

“His Royal Highness the Holy Lion, no need to bluff.”

Among the vampire ministers, only Virentin remained calm, speaking unhurriedly: “Five of the Seven Human Nations have committed their entire strength against the Coldflame Kingdom, clearly determined to break all ties. Only we at the Ironhand Archipelago haven’t participated. From where do you claim allies?”

“Who said my allies are only from the Human Clan countries? Has Spirit Wand Prince forgotten how vast this world is from staying too long on the Ironhand Archipelago?”

Leo Ray arched an eyebrow, then looked toward Qiana seated beside him and said, “When I introduced this Half-Elf warrior just now, I reckon you all found her quite familiar?”

“Qiana Moon Chaser, one of the Nine Dragon-slaying Heroes renowned across the Human Clan nations five hundred years ago, a legend in the ballads of Wandering Poets. It’s truly admirable to meet in person today.”

The Scarlet Queen picked up the conversation, nodding slightly to show her respect to Qiana, and inquired, “Who would’ve thought? Once a member of the Coldflame Nobles, the Moon Chaser Clan had long severed ties with the Coldflame Kingdom. Why does this legendary warrior stand here today?”

“To be honest with Your Majesty, I have led the Moon Chaser Clan back to Coldflame.”

After obtaining permission from Leo Ray, Qiana said solemnly, “This time, the Moon Chaser Clan will fight solely for His Royal Highness and swear to live or die with him!”

After hearing Qiana’s words, the Scarlet Queen’s expression remained normal, but Spirit Wand Prince was already full of astonishment.

During the previous campaign at Kael Castle, it was heard that the Holy Lion Prince had a small company of brave and skilled Half-Elf Wolf Riders under his command. However, intelligence indicated they weren’t from the Moon Chaser Clan but rather another small Half-Elf Tribe.

Moreover, Qiana’s presence was never noted before, indicating that the Moon Chaser Clan returned after the movement of the five armies on the Coldflame Kingdom.

Regardless of how much harm the previous Coldflame Royal Family caused the Moon Chaser Clan, the fact they sided with an unrelated Alien Prince at this point was incredibly illogical.

Which clan would knowingly step into a death trap unless that death offered a glimmer of hope?

“Could he really have the means to fend off five armies at once?”

Spirit Wand Prince looked at Leo Ray with uncertainty, causing waves in his heart.

Opposite Spirit Wand Prince, Leo Ray gazed at the hesitant eyes of the vampire ministers contentedly, still holding that calm expression.

The reason Leo Ray had Qiana speak up then was precisely to deepen their uncertainty; after all, they didn’t know he was the savior of the entire Moon Chaser Clan.

“To be honest, my Holy Lion Prince Highness’s capabilities are far beyond this.”

With further approval from Leo Ray, Qiana’s pale face was filled with admiration, adding, “I once saw a reclusive master capable of energy manifestation at His Royal Highness’s side.”

“Energy manifestation? A Tier 6 Expert?!”

This time, even the Scarlet Queen’s long lashes couldn’t help but quiver slightly.

Since the Era of Blankness, Tier 6 Experts emerging from the Human Clan countries could be counted on one hand, with none appearing for over a thousand years.

Though the Blood Clan has long lifespans, due to many constraints, it is hard to produce a Tier 6 Expert.

Only in top-tier, renowned clans like the Elf Tribe, Dwarves, and Winged Race can one glimpse a Tier 6 Expert.

This indicates that if Qiana’s words are true, then Leo Ray’s mysterious allies might not be far-fetched.

Even if the mysterious allies aren’t among those proud, prominent clans, they surely possess the power to intimidate the Human Clan countries.

As this crossed her mind, the Scarlet Queen’s blood-red eyes stayed fixed on Qiana’s expression, trying to find any sign of deceit, yet to no avail.

“His Royal Highness the Holy Lion, are you still attempting to intimidate the entire venue just by words?”

After fruitless observation, the Scarlet Queen furrowed her eyebrows again, turning her attention back to Leo Ray himself.

In response, Leo Ray said nothing, merely smiled faintly, and casually waved a sleeve, and an extremely robust figure appeared before everyone.

It was John, who had just been recruited as one of the Alchemy Legion commanders last night.

“Esteemed Commander, John of the Dwarf Elf Seventh Infantry Alchemy Legion, salutes you with the highest respect, awaiting your orders.”

John immediately knelt, resting his head at Leo Ray’s feet.

“An intelligent Tier 5 Alchemy Puppet? Truly a wondrous creation only the Dwarf Elves could fabricate!”

A gaunt vampire minister exclaimed, unable to restrain himself.

“So the Dwarf Elves are allies of the Coldflame Kingdom?”

“Though the Dwarf Elves are not top-tier on the continent, they are more than enough to deal with one or two Human Clan countries!”

“I’ve heard the Dwarf Elves have been silent for a long time. Is this their chance to rise again?”

“Regardless, it’s evident that the Dwarf Elves’ creations are astoundingly precise, making external control nearly impossible. His Royal Highness the Holy Lion must have a connection with the Dwarf Elves to earn the Alchemy Legion’s allegiance!”

Suddenly, discussions among the vampire ministers resumed fervently.

Watching the surprised expressions on those pale faces, Leo Ray remained seated firmly like a mountain, and added casually, “Believe me, this is not my only ally.”
