Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 2107: Chapter 1178: Before the Curtain Rises (Part 2)

During this process, when the old magician saw Elder Bing standing indifferently to the side, his elderly eyes sparkled with excitement, wishing he could immediately consult Elder Bing.

Feeling exhilarated, Antonio immediately knelt before Leo Ray, his face full of gratitude, saying: “Thank you, Your Highness Prince Leo, for taking us in at such a crucial moment! If it weren’t for your timely arrival, I’m afraid we’d have perished at the hands of the Black Abyss Brotherhood!”

Following Antonio’s lead, Cecilia and Barnet also knelt on one knee, expressing their gratitude to Leo Ray for saving their lives.

Just as Antonio said, with assassins possibly arriving at any moment, Leo Ray’s shelter was equivalent to saving their lives.

Among the three kneeling, Cecilia, a member of the Pars Royal Family, was particularly full of shame, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Not long ago, she had aggressively led troops to attack the Unfallen Fortress, attempting to break through the northern gate of the Coldflame Kingdom. Although she ultimately gained nothing, losing soldiers and returning humiliated.

And now, the Prince Leo, whom she had once attacked, had taken her in during her desperate time. What magnanimity and grace is this? How could it not make her mortified?

“Please rise, all of you. Although we once faced each other on the battlefield, it was under the instigation of those with ulterior motives, and not your fault.”

Leo Ray helped each of the three up, smiling: “Since you have recognized the true enemy, I naturally treat you as my own.”

Leo Ray clearly understood that whether Antonio, who was secretly siding with him, or Cecilia and Barnet, they were all key figures of Pars.

As long as he controlled them, along with Braddon, whom he had imprisoned, controlling the entire Pars would soon be within reach.

Of course, the premise is to make Cecilia and Barnet completely submit to him. The imminent decisive battle at Radiant City was the best opportunity.

“Your Highness’s magnanimity is as vast as the ocean, I will never forget it!”

Cecilia, her fair face full of gratitude, nodded heavily towards Leo Ray: “As long as Your Highness gives the order, I’m willing to atone for my past mistakes and fight to the death against those scum of the Temple of Light!”

According to the plan set by Leo Ray and Antonio, after Antonio successfully assassinated Adair, the chief archbishop of Pars, Cecilia and Barnet instantly became targets for a deadly pursuit by the Black Abyss Brotherhood after being stripped of their command.

Facing this situation, the intelligent Cecilia quickly realized that there must be some connection between the Black Abyss Brotherhood and the Temple of Light, which is why she directed her anger towards the Temple of Light.

Upon hearing Cecilia’s resentful words, our strongmen and officers naturally empathized, nodding in agreement.

As for those neutral powerhouses who were still confused, they immediately began to exchange puzzled glances.

Antonio had just mentioned being hunted by the Black Abyss Brotherhood, so why did Cecilia then blame everything on the Temple of Light?

Filled with doubts, everyone turned to Leo Ray with a look of surprise.

No matter what, who would have thought that even three renowned national-level powerhouses from Pars would come to join forces with him? This Holy Lion Prince’s prowess is truly impressive.

As for Cecilia and her group, newly arrived in the Command Hall, after their initial excitement, they were immediately struck by the presence of so many famous powerhouses and officers from the human world, making them face an unexpected shyness and uncertainty about what to say.

“Your Highness Cecilia, General Barnet, here are some insignificant Healing Magic Potions and Restoration Magic Potions; I hope they can help you recover more quickly.”

Leo Ray casually took out some Tier 5 Magic Pills, handing them to both of them, and smiled at Barnet, saying: “Especially General Barnet, the injury on your face caused by Taboo Skills will soon heal.”

“Thank you, Your Highness, for your benevolence!”

Receiving the rare potions that were hard for them to come by even in ordinary times, both of them felt deep gratitude. They were about to kneel again, only to be lifted by Leo Ray.

Among them, Barnet, who initially harbored some resistance towards Leo Ray, couldn’t help his shoulders from trembling, his face full of complex emotions.

The value of these Tier 5 Magic Pills, given casually by Leo Ray, far exceeded all the rewards he had received from the Emperor of Pars over the decades, an evident fact.

On top of her gratitude, a chill ran through Cecilia’s heart, realizing how she had underestimated crossing paths with such a formidable force, making her defeat all the more complete.

“It’s nothing, just a trifle.”

Leo Ray maintained a faint smile, then his demeanor turned serious: “Gentlemen, everyone present is kindred who will soon fight together. No need to be reserved, for our shared goal is none other than the heart of the Temple of Light—Radiant City. This is a battle that will determine the fate of the human world.”

As he spoke to this point, Leo Ray’s tone softened slightly, nodding: “You three have just been through a fierce battle, why not rest within the city?”

“What are you saying, Your Highness?”

Seeing Antonio, who had not had a chance to speak, jump up immediately, he huffed and said: “Your Highness saved our lives; even a hundred deaths would not repay this. And now, Your Highness fights for the future of the human world. How could we possibly think of reaping the benefits without contributing?”

The old magician, growing more excited, righteously declared: “Please assign me to the most dangerous front line, Your Highness. I will do my utmost to support you and the human world with all my meager abilities!”

“It’s true; the Temple of Light wants to control my Pars and has even turned the Emperor into a puppet, driving a wedge between me and my father. As the First Princess of Pars, I bear an irreconcilable grudge against them.”

Cecilia stepped forward, nodding heavily: “And now, with Your Highness taking the helm, how can I retreat? Please assign me to the front line as well!”

“I am also willing to follow Your Highness’s orders!”

Barnet was straightforward, earnestly saying: “Just give the word, Your Highness, and I will give my all to repay your profound kindness!”

With the three of them all volunteering, the atmosphere within the Command Hall grew increasingly fervent.

This was exactly what Leo Ray wanted to see.

“I feel your boiling fighting spirit. With you, the human world will never lose hope.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, then pointed to the center of the sand table, nodding to Elder Bing: “Sir, the destination is Holy City of Radiance, proceed!”

Upon receiving Leo Ray’s order, Elder Bing immediately set to action, and a chorus of reports echoed in the hall.

“Teleportation Array charging… charging complete!”

“All city walls within the city are fully alert, all soldiers are ready for battle!”

“Absolute Defensive Barrier at maximum power, stealth mode activated!”

As the final report concluded, all the Magic Projections in the Command Hall suddenly turned a deep blue.

This hue flashed and was gone, and once everything was restored to normal.

On the main screen at the center of the Command Hall, a massive city resembling a dormant beast emerged before everyone’s eyes.

It was the Radiant City, sealed away for a century.

Here, the sky had long been cloaked by a dense black fog, making it impossible to distinguish day from night, everything shrouded in darkness.

And beneath the black fog, the once light-replete Radiant City was now enshrouded in layer upon layer of thick gray mist, appearing mysterious and ominous.

At the junction between heaven and earth, the two mists continuously writhed and seemed to be undergoing a bizarre fusion.

Witnessing this outlandish and ominous spectacle, everyone couldn’t help but furrow their brows tightly, their fists clenched.

However, Leo Ray’s gaze was sharp, and he began to further scrutinize the opponent’s stronghold.
