Capítulo 2741: Chapter 1505: Reinforcements and Sudden Upheaval

“Something’s not right?”

Moli, who was naturally a bit carefree, did not catch what Leo Ray was referring to. She frowned, saying, “I know, the assault of the ‘Corrosion’ is indeed quite intense and strange!”

“It’s not the ‘Corrosion’; it’s the God Stone General just now.”

Leo Ray’s gaze was sharp. While continuing to lead the strong towards the city wall, he closely watched the surroundings as he spoke.

“You mean the commander named Curry just now? What’s wrong with him?”

Moli was initially stunned, then evidently realized something and burst out in shock, “Could he have become a Parasite?”

“Exactly, although the other party has shown almost no flaws, we can’t rule out this possibility.”

Leo Ray confirmed Moli’s thought and instructed the strong around him, “Close the formation, and do not disperse too much.”

“Human boy, are you saying that the other party was trying to disperse our combat power just now? No wonder we had to rush to reinforce all four city walls simultaneously.”

Moli now fully reacted, her almond-shaped eyes tightened as she inquired, “But the opponent shows no characteristics of a Parasite.”

“Don’t forget that in the early stages of being parasitized, the characteristics aren’t obvious, and with the energy waves in the fortress being extremely chaotic, we can’t rule out the possibility of the opponent concealing features, or even using physical means like makeup and armor.”

Leo Ray’s gaze fell on the battle helmets of the surrounding generals, responding solemnly.

Leo Ray clearly understood that through the exchanges with Old Book and others in recent days, he had learned.

In the early stages of being parasitized by the ‘Corrosion’, although most people, like the White Knight, have the characteristic crystals appear on their foreheads, there are many cases where they appear on other parts of the body, making them difficult to observe with the naked eye, especially under the cover of helmets and other equipment.

Moreover, although Old Book and others have some means of identifying Parasites, and he had learned quite a bit from them, those were all based on stable energy waves under normal circumstances, which are extremely difficult to discern on the battlefield, even for the Stone Spirits.

“Human boy, since there’s no way to discern, how did you discover the opponent is a Parasite?”

Moli’s fair face also had a stern look as she pressed on.

“It’s because of the opponent’s actions. The fortress is in extreme crisis, yet the main commander, the God Stone General, waited by the Teleportation Array for us, which seemed too deliberate. Clearly, he didn’t care whether the fortress would fall. In normal circumstances, sending a Deputy General or Staff Officer would have sufficed to understand the battlefield situation; there’s no need for him to wait personally.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, responding, “Once I initially noticed this, I had already begun to suspect them, and the subsequent attempt to disperse our combat power further confirmed this hypothesis for me.”

“If the other party is a Parasite, then everything indeed makes sense.”

Moli nodded heavily, frowning, “Currently, Observation City and the fortress have not been breached. It’s impossible for it to be the ‘Corrosion’ outside doing this. It seems the culprits must be those ‘Corrosion’ who infiltrated before, the same group employing the honey trap!”

After speaking, Moli looked towards Leo Ray again, asking, “What should we do next?”

“Since the opponent is attempting to disperse our combat power, it means they are ready to pick us off one by one. They probably intend to use the ‘Corrosion’ outside to weaken our strength, then take the opportunity to defeat us individually.”

Leo Ray pondered for a moment, responding, “But this remains just our speculation. Everything is still unclear, and it’s not appropriate to alert the enemy prematurely. I’ve quietly sent Grey Elder back to Observation City to inform the old City Lord. We should just respond to changes with a steady approach for now.”

After saying this, Leo Ray slightly furrowed his eyebrows.

Initially, he planned to use Magic Communication to directly contact Kara, Calvin, and Nick staying in Observation City, but he couldn’t reach them. It seems that the ‘Corrosion’ indeed disrupted the magic communication between the two cities.

“In any case, the opponent absolutely can’t hide too much strength within the fortress. As long as we hold the two city walls firmly and don’t become too scattered, it will be very difficult for the opponent to strike.”

Leo Ray nodded towards Moli, repeatedly advising the strong of his side around him.

“This is indeed the most prudent course of action.”

Hearing this, a pensive look appeared in Moli’s starry eyes, and she expressed some concern, “But what if the old City Lord has been parasitized quietly as well?”

“We can’t dismiss such a hypothesis, but the urgent priority now is still to repel the ‘Corrosion’ outside first.”

Leo Ray’s face remained calm, but his heart was full of helplessness and anxiety.

After all, he had only been here for a short time, and there were many things he simply couldn’t control, nor could he entirely trust anyone but his own side. Now, he could only take it one step at a time.

It’s crucial to know that whether it’s the old City Lord or the four God Stone Generals, their strength is all at half-step Seventh Stage, and only Moli, Sheila, and the enhanced himself on his side could match them.

In such a situation, if one core figure was parasitized by the opponent, regardless of whether they would use their authority to create trouble for us, their sheer formidable strength is not to be underestimated.

Just as Leo Ray thought about this, the group was already near the fortress city wall.
