Chapter 2104: Chapter 1177: The Lord’s Deployment and the Creeping Shadow
Upon hearing Burt’s words, everyone else also turned their serious gazes over, all waiting for Leo Ray’s command.
“The current situation is evident.”
Leo Ray nodded to the crowd and said solemnly, “From various signs, it seems the opponent has officially launched their long-planned dark plan, which means we don’t have much time left.”
“Since the opponent has turned this place into a cage attempting to trap us, it indicates that the core location of their plan is not in this Brilliant City.”
A fierce gleam passed through Leo Ray’s eyes as he continued, “So we are left with just one target.”
“The opponent’s stronghold in the Holy City of Radiance, you mean?”
Catherine folded her arms and frowned tightly, “Although the final goal aligns precisely with the original plan, the current circumstances were entirely unexpected.”
When Catherine finished speaking, everyone clenched their fists, all wearing a solemn expression.
“The current situation is indeed unexpected, but it will only increase our determination to deal with the enemy.”
Leo Ray nodded to the group, encouraging, “Since they’ve trapped us here, it shows they’re not fully confident in defeating us.”
“In other words, as long as we haven’t given up, the dawn of victory still lies ahead.”
Upon hearing Leo Ray’s words, the sternness on everyone’s faces eased slightly, clearly having a significant effect.
However, despite saying this, Leo Ray clearly understood in his heart.
Looking at it now, the opponent’s combat power actually remained quite limited this time, as the ’Rebel Disciple’ and those ancient demon beasts haven’t even appeared, they’ve just used the hidden underground city to divide our forces, attempting to defeat us one by one.
This led to 50 normal legions and 30 summoning corps falling into their trap one after another.
Moreover, Brilliant City isn’t their main base, whereas the target Radiant City has been sealed for a century, and who knows what that mysterious entity has done in there during this time.
“But no matter what, as I’ve always said, we have no retreat.”
Thinking this, Leo Ray spoke again, “Alright, it’s time for us to put an end to this enormous threat to the Human World.”
“His Royal Highness is right, only we can stop all this now.”
Catherine agreed with Leo Ray’s words without hesitation and added, “I and my generals will forever stand with His Royal Highness!”
“So will we!”
Lawrence immediately stood out and solemnly declared, “As long as His Royal Highness orders, the soldiers of the Grimm Kingdom who yearn for The Light will never sit idly by!”
Upon Lawrence finishing his words, the veteran White also stood behind him, nodding heavily.
Seeing that the determination of the two allies remained unshaken, our generals grew eager and impatient.
“But Your Highness, there are still more than 20 affiliated cities of the Temple of Light surrounding Radiant City, and according to reports, these cities are covered by an Absolute Defense Barrier, their morale is high, rock-solid compared to the fragile defense of the Grimm Kingdom.”
Joshua stepped forward, hand on chest in a salute, “If we attack them one by one, it will likely waste a lot of time. After all, not only the Holy Knight battalion of the Temple of Light guards them, but there are also many brainwashed residents who can easily become the opponent’s puppets.”
Hearing this, all commanders frowned, which indeed posed a big problem that would significantly slow our progress.
During our entanglement with these cities, the enemy’s dark plan might have already been completed.
“Who says we have to deal with these small fry?”
Leo Ray smiled faintly, his eyes piercing, “We will teleport directly in front of the opponent’s stronghold, catching them off guard.”
There is no need to say, what Leo Ray meant by direct arrival was naturally to use ’Ice Stone City’ for instant teleportation.
Once Ice Stone City directly stands before Radiant City, everything will naturally resolve easily.
Upon hearing Leo Ray’s words, although most of the people present didn’t yet know what method Leo Ray would use, they were all visibly excited, nodding heavily.
“But before that, we have a few things to do.”
Leo Ray snapped his fingers lightly, and began the deployment.
The first task was to completely control the Brilliant City in front of them.
Under the premise of unexpectedly awakening the ancient old king, the underground city below actually equaled under our control. With the cooperation of the old king, we naturally didn’t have to worry about disappearing suddenly.
With Leo Ray’s arrangement, Lawrence, along with White and the surrendered generals of Grim, quickly went into action. Adding to that, the old king sequentially teleported the soldiers and remaining residents up, everything proceeded smoothly.
The only unexpected thing was that Leo Ray initially planned for Lawrence and White to persuade the remaining 20 garrisoned legions to surrender, but when Lawrence and the others hurried over, they unexpectedly found out.
These 20 legions had also long disappeared, leaving only the nobles and their families huddled shivering in the corners.
Aside from that, it didn’t take long before the entire Grimm Capital, including the palace in the city center, had fallen into Leo Ray’s hands.
