Chapter 2105: Chapter 1177: The Lord’s Strategy and the Creeping Shadow (Part 2)
Accompanied by the Grim Kingdom generals like White and the nobles and confidants under Lawrence’s command, and with Leo Ray’s direction, Prince Viceroy Lawrence was swiftly crowned king, becoming the new generation Saint King of the Grimm Kingdom.
Thus, Leo Ray fulfilled his promise, and the plan to support Lawrence reached a perfect conclusion, smoothly integrating the entire Grim Kingdom into Leo Ray’s territorial map.
Due to being occupied with other matters, Leo Ray barely participated in the entire process, only allowing several main subordinates to assist Lawrence in controlling everything.
During this process, Leo Ray also informed Quinn Serena and others to begin preparing to gather Lords with the talent for territory teleportation, to quickly transfer the trapped Lords to safe Lord gatherings like Tale City.
Of course, before the official transfer begins, Leo Ray will also work on lifting the curse on the trapped Lords, if he can successfully defeat that mysterious entity.
The second matter is to reassemble the forces at hand.
Currently, our side still has 50 legions in Brilliant City, including 30 legions under Catherine and 20 of our own main forces corps (which include 30 main forces corps, and 20 regular army corps), as well as 10 newly submitted Grim legions.
Additionally, there are 10 main Half-Elf legions and 10 Half-Elf reserve legions from the Moon Chaser Clan of Ice Stone City, but even with a scale of only 80 legions, the situation is evidently still somewhat tight.
Therefore, the first force Leo Ray gathered was the 20 main forces corps of ours left in Flowing Light Fortress.
This part of the legion, primarily under the Yorkman Clan, encompassed the most powerful cavalry in the Coldflame Kingdom, with quite impressive combat power.
The second force gathered by Leo Ray was 50 legions from the Verdant Kingdom, including 30 main forces corps and 20 regular army corps.
During this time, with Leo Ray’s full support and Eckhart’s efforts, this country of prairies and eagles has basically stabilized, and the Dimensional Storms have been greatly controlled.
Under Eckhart’s leadership, the Verdant Kingdom quickly assembled a huge combat power, and coupled with the stay-behind troops that had previously attacked the Grim Kingdom, eventually resulted in 50 fresh legions.
And with the stealth and teleportation function of Ice Stone City, gathering these forces together was simply a breeze.
In this way, the usable forces in Leo Ray’s hands once again reached a scale of 150 legions.
As for the third matter, Leo Ray personally went to gather some neutral forces, but since it is uncertain whether these forces can become allies, they will not be discussed for now.
All in all, after this series of operations by Leo Ray, our strength quickly once again reached an extremely remarkable level.
Just as Leo Ray was tirelessly preparing for the decisive battle.
On the other side of the vast Grimm Plain, a faint holy light in the grand ancient city of Radiant City was quietly dissipating, replaced by an almost imperceptible aura of malevolence.
Under the pitch-dark night, this place, known as the lamp in the night, representing the holy and pure sanctity, was at this moment slowly merging with darkness.
Rich fog still enveloped every corner of the city, covering everything thickly, mysterious and eerie.
In the core area of the Holy City shrouded in fog, the location of the headquarters of the Temple of Light, this place that was usually undetectable showed its true form and was in the process of completely covering the entire city.
In the deepest part of the Gloomy Hall, sinister and chaotic laughter was reverberating without restraint.
The brightly lit candles wildly flickered, reflecting powerful figures full of bizarre and magnificent auras.
These figures were divided into two rows, one row dressed in black robes with white eerie masks, belonged to the powerful members of the Black Abyss Brotherhood, while the other row wore luxurious robes of deep crimson and white, held the authority of the Temple of Light, those were the bishops.
These two, who should be irreconcilable, at this moment were like close brothers, allowing each other’s laughter to become more rampant and unbridled.
Be it the dark faces hidden behind the masks, or the faces filled with surface benevolence, at this moment, they were all twisted and grim, appearing grotesque and unpredictable.
At the head of the two rows of figures, a robust humanoid silhouette leaned against the throne like a peculiar statue, precisely that mysterious entity with the appearance of Gannon the Ninth.
“As expected of the Supreme One, easily activated the long-distance teleportation array, bringing us back!”
Only to see Gusta still in that exquisite bishop attire, sneered: “Moreover, also brought back some small sacrifices, this will definitely accelerate the progress of the ‘Divine Plan’.”
“It just connected to the previously deployed spatial beacon, nothing much.”
The mysterious entity casually waved its hand, indifferently saying: “Originally, this seat was planning to trap you and those ants there, if not for you successfully using the illusion technique to control those ant soldiers, making up for it, this seat would absolutely not have kept you until now.”
“Thanks to the Supreme One’s mercy, praise the Supreme One’s mercy!”
Upon hearing this, Gusta trembled with fear in his heart, hurriedly knelt and said: “It is thanks to the Supreme One’s personal intervention that those ants were trapped there, I am afraid now those despicable interworld scums are so anxious they’ve probably wet themselves, hahaha!”
“Right, that ancient underground city is known to be impregnable, those Otherworlders even threw themselves into their own net in the end, it’s truly laughable!”
A Brotherhood expert with a blood-patterned mask without an inscribed number, expressed with a sinister face hidden behind the mask filled with sarcasm, agreeing: “By the time he reacts, we will have purified everything and welcomed the new world, truly such a foolish person!”
“Exactly, those other ants from another world struggling desperately in the underground city, that’s his fate!”
“No, his fate will be even worse, he will watch everything he has become our nourishment to reach the new world, and then turn into dust in despair and fear by us!”
Upon hearing, the bizarre figures all agreed, laughing out loud once more.
“Currently, it’s a critical phase in implementing the ‘Divine Plan’, before the plan is completely finished, we must never relax vigilance.”
The voice of the mysterious entity sounded, indifferently saying: “Do you understand what this seat means?”
As the mysterious entity’s words fell, an extremely oppressive energy wave instantly vibrated and erupted, causing the hall to quiet down immediately.
After a while, Gusta cautiously inquired: “Supreme One, are you saying that despicable interworld scum may come to interfere with our ‘Divine Plan’?”
Speaking to this, Gusta found it unbelievable: “Using the means of those despicable Otherworlders and parasitic worms, it’s absolutely impossible to break through the underground city blockade.”
“Don’t forget, that ant has caused us quite a bit of trouble.”
The mysterious entity snorted coldly, saying indifferently, “Command to enhance the defense around Radiant City, do not give those ants any opportunity to exploit.”
“Enhance the defense around the Holy City? Even if they luckily escaped the underground city, it is absolutely impossible for them to arrive here before the ‘Divine Plan’ is completed.”
Gusta, full of puzzlement, blurted out: “Surrounding the Holy City are over 20 heavily defended cities, could those ants from another world fly here?”
After Gusta’s words, other Black-robed Persons and priests also showed hints of perplexity, starting to exchange glances.
From the confused yet contemptuous gazes, it’s clear no one believed Leo Ray could bring soldiers to the gates of Radiant City and cause any trouble here.
“It’s better to be prepared than not.”
The mysterious entity’s voice was calm, saying: “Or do you all intend to defy this seat’s orders?”
“We dare not!”
Upon hearing this, the numerous adversary powers all knelt on the ground, faces filled with terror.
“Very well, go and prepare quickly.”
The mysterious entity’s mouth curled into a peculiar arc, with an expectant expression, saying: “This seat should also go see how the progress of the plan is.”
Finishing his words, with a flash of black light, the mysterious entity instantly vanished without a trace, leaving behind an empty black gold throne.
