Capítulo 2779: Chapter 1524: The Lord’s Composure (Part 2)

“The rainforest leader has worked hard.”

Leo Ray slowly took a deep breath, not immediately expressing his opinion, and looked toward Sina, saying, “Please continue, desert leader.”

“Understood, Your Majesty of the Humans.”

Sina sat upright at the conference table, also taking a deep breath, her face full of solemnity, saying, “According to the latest intelligence received, the Stone Giant Clan neighboring our Desert Alliance has also summoned their grand army, showing a posture of full-scale warfare with us, almost identical in scale to the Half-Titans.”

“What?!”

Upon hearing this, not only did the strong experts under Leo Ray’s command, but even the generals accompanying the two alliances stood up, their faces filled with disbelief.

The Stone Giants and Half-Titans alike are extremely formidable second-tier powers, with strength and foundation almost evenly matched.

The difference is that although they call themselves Stone Giants, they are not actually stone, nor are they summoned entities like golem puppets, but are members of the Ten Thousand Clans, albeit with extremely hard skin that looks like stone.

It’s said that Stone Giants also possess Titan Clan bloodline, and that’s why their stature matches that of the Half-Titans, both standing over five meters, truly evenly matched.

“You must know, since the Era of Blankness, Stone Giants and Half-Titans have been mortal enemies, continuously warring for years to contest who is the legitimate successor of the Titan Clan. They have always stationed heavy forces at each other’s borders — how could they suddenly both act to deploy troops toward us?”

Grey Elder, deeply knowledgeable of the Outer Region, furrowed his brows tightly and spoke without thinking.

Grey Elder clearly understands that these two powers which usually fight tooth and nail have suddenly turned their focus toward our side, suggesting there must be underlying reasons behind it.

“Unexpectedly, the Stone Giants have also mobilized. It seems that both sides have planned this together.”

Loris’s brows furrowed tightly, contemplatively speaking, “Originally, I thought perhaps this was the Half-Titans’ Empty City Strategy, intending to create an illusion for the Stone Giants to exploit, then ambush the Stone Giants in one fell swoop. But unexpectedly, the Stone Giants have also moved their forces.”

“Indeed, this is absolutely not a coincidence. Apparently, their target this time isn’t each other.”

Sina couldn’t bother with opposing Loris anymore, agreeing, “After all, although we have disagreements, the time of ceasefire far exceeds that of warfare, while they fight nearly daily, having continued for Three Thousand Years.”

After Sina finished speaking, Loris also nodded in agreement.

Previously, whether the Rainforest Fortress Alliance or the Desert Alliance, although they both had small frictions with these two second-tier powers, the premise was always that Half-Titans and Stone Giants focused their main efforts on each other, only engaging their secondary forces with these two.

And now, both of them have deployed their most elite armies. Don’t mention the Rainforest Fortress Alliance or the Desert Alliance alone—even if they’re united together, they absolutely won’t be a match for either opponent.

Both Loris and Sina simultaneously thought of this, and again looked toward Leo Ray.

Knowing that they reached out to Leo Ray upon receiving the intelligence in hopes of obtaining his help, and now seeing the opposite side facing the same crisis, they didn’t know how to begin speaking.

After all, the second-tier powers are overwhelmingly strong; even facing just one ensures certain death—let alone facing two at once?

“Once again both sides deploy troops at the border—how truly a familiar development.”

Noticing Loris and Sina’s embarrassment, Leo Ray inwardly smiled helplessly.

Last time the Rainforest and Desert deployed troops at the border, it was due to the demons and witch demons stirring trouble in the background, attempting to provoke conflicts with oneself. This time surely isn’t the same situation, right?

But what is certain is that I must not let this matter go unnoticed.

Firstly because this sudden move by Half-Titans and Stone Giants disrupted my layout; secondly, considering their sudden actions might be linked to me—it can’t be ruled out that their true target is actually myself.

After all, in these Three Thousand Years, they have never made a similar move, and this happened precisely after I gathered forces to eliminate the demons and witch demons. This undoubtedly means perhaps I am the variable causing all this.

Given this premise, both emotionally and logically, I should stand up, otherwise, it means shooting myself in the foot, and even more, losing Loris and Sina.

Thinking of this, Leo Ray composed himself and nodded toward Loris and Sina, saying, “I understand this matter, you both are my comrades in arms, I won’t stand idly by as you face danger, even if the opponents are formidable second-tier powers.”

“Your Majesty of the Humans, do you mean…?!”

Upon hearing this, Loris’s lion-like eyes lit up, his face filled with excitement.

Before Loris finished speaking, Sina eagerly intercepted, saying, “Your Majesty of the Humans, are you willing to help me and him?”

“Exactly, regardless of what their plans are, we must not let them succeed.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly and said, “If they insist on their course, then we might as well teach them a lesson.”

“Many thanks for Your Majesty of the Humans’ assistance!”

As soon as Leo Ray said this, both Loris and Sina stood up excitedly from their seats, bowing deeply toward Leo Ray.

The accompanying strong experts from both alliances were even more invigorated, casting their grateful and admiring gazes.

By this point, the originally heavy atmosphere in the Command Hall immediately became uplifted and filled with cheers.

However, shortly afterward, regardless of Loris’s contingent or Sina’s group, they once again became somewhat worried.

It’s important to know, whether Half-Titans or Stone Giants, they each possess three battle-hardened Tier 5 Armies, and not to mention Tier 4 Armies, collectively numbering over two hundred.

On our side, there’s not even a single Tier 5 Army—how can we possibly match them?

Noticing both groups’ concerns, Leo Ray simply smiled lightly and said, “Rest assured, everyone, although the opponents indeed boast formidable strength, we are not without the power to fight—in fact, we’re sufficient to make the opponent cautious.”

The reason for Leo Ray’s confidence mainly lies in the Alchemy Puppet Warehouse activated by Broy in the cavernous ancient relics and the reserves upgraded in Observation City.

Firstly, the Alchemy Puppet Warehouse—after a thorough inventory, Leo Ray already knew that the number of alchemy puppets was more than it appeared on the surface.

Totally, there are 2 Middle Teams of Tier 6 Alchemical Golems, 1 Legion of Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets, and 10 Legions of Tier 4 Alchemy Puppets, with the Broken Valley Alliance still holding 1 Tier 5 Army and 10 Tier 4 Armies, and 20 Tier 3 Armies.

Furthermore, the reserves upgraded from Observation City, he has distributed all permanently enhancing strength magic medicine brought back from there.

Thus, his most elite Million Army naturally remains at Tier 3—no need to speak more— among Tier 4 Armies, reaching up to 30, just requiring some time for advancement.

Additionally, numerous forces under his command received supplements of permanently enhancing magic medicines, plus what they refined recently were fully upgraded, enhancing strength significantly, enough to converge 20 Tier 4 Armies and over 100 Tier 3 Armies.

Both Rainforest Fortress Alliance and Desert Alliance also possess the strength of 30 Tier 4 Armies and 100 Tier 3 Armies.

Adding up everything, along with countless summon scrolls at hand, although the overall combat power still doesn’t surpass the two opponents, our side at least possesses the power to engage in combat.

Under his leadership, whether humans or the Outer Region factions under his command, have long been transformed entirely.

Seeing Leo Ray’s calm demeanor, Loris and Sina’s tension finally eased, both breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as the two prepared to ask Leo Ray about specific countermeasures, an unexpected piece of news was delivered again.
