Chapter 2109: Chapter 1179: Sudden Turn of Events (Part 2)
Although the Temple of Light is indeed unfathomable and enough to shake the entire Human World, the foundation of this Prince from another world is also very profound, forcing people to regard him with new respect.
In other words, at least from the current perspective, Leo Ray indeed has the capital to contend with Radiant City.
But just as everyone was beginning to anticipate the opening of the decisive battle, an unexpected change occurred.
Suddenly, around Radiant City, golden lights flashed, and waves of strong energy fluctuations reverberated out.
Before everyone could react, accompanied by thunderous booms, two large square fortresses rose from the ground, appearing on both sides of the front city wall of Radiant City, forming a pincer-like formation.
As the high towers of the two fortresses rose from the ground, countless summoned golden puppet soldiers appeared on the fortress’s city walls, quickly filling them to the brim, with the brilliance of the Absolute Defense Barrier completely covering them.
In terms of scale, although these two fortresses are not as massive as Radiant City, each is comparable to a national gate-level fortress like the Mountain Fortress, and the number of summoned soldiers is estimated to reach over 10 Legions each.
In an instant, the two fortresses seemed like two guardian beasts around Radiant City, exuding an unshakable aura.
As the opponent’s fortresses rose from the ground, Leo Ray immediately received a report.
It turns out that there weren’t just two fortresses appearing around Radiant City, but rather one at each of the four corners, totaling four, but due to the viewing angle, the group could only see two from the front.
“Is this… could it be that the opponent has discovered us?!”
Seeing such a sudden scene, a small wave was instantly stirred on the city wall. Not only did the soldiers grip their weapons tightly, but many generals also drew their longswords, looking unprepared.
“No need to panic, they haven’t discovered us.”
After carefully observing for a moment, Leo Ray gently waved his hand and said, “This is just a precautionary defense measure.”
“Your Highness Prince is right; otherwise, the opponent could easily surround us with the four fortresses during our attack, rather than deploying them in advance.”
Catherine slightly pondered and agreed, “The opponent probably anticipated that we might attack Radiant City, so they took preventative measures.”
Upon hearing the words of Leo Ray and Catherine, the city wall quickly settled down.
However, despite relaxing a bit, the expressions of our generals and soldiers became increasingly grave.
With the support of the four large fortresses, this undoubtedly means that the difficulty of our siege has increased significantly.
“Conversely, the opponent’s very fear of our possible attack is what led them to take precautions in advance, is it not?”
Leo Ray’s calm voice echoed over the city wall, reaching the ears of every general and soldier around: “Don’t forget, we are about to take the initiative, and with the advantage of the first move, we can catch them off guard.”
Saying this, Leo Ray led the generals and turned to enter the meeting room in the city gate tower to redeploy.
The emergence of these large fortresses undoubtedly disrupted our initial plan to fully attack one side of the city wall.
But from another perspective, this unexpected change is not without its advantages; after all, it’s better than having them rise suddenly in the middle of the battle.
“Although four new fortresses have appeared on the opponent’s side, we only need to deal with two while focusing on attacking one side of the city wall.”
Standing in front of the large magic sandbox just created by Elder Bing, Leo Ray nodded to the generals and said, “These new fortresses look impregnable. Ultimately, they are temporary magic constructs, far less sturdy than real large fortresses.”
At this point, Leo Ray slightly raised his eyebrows and continued, “With the premise that the main attack plan remains unchanged, these two fortresses on the sides must be destroyed first and foremost.”
“Your Highness Prince is absolutely right; only then can we fully attack the city wall.”
The new King, Eckhart, immediately agreed with Leo Ray’s view, adding, “However, I believe that to ensure the advantage of surprise, we cannot move the main firepower from the city wall. We must use other forces to handle the two fortresses.”
“Exactly, although focusing our firepower on one fortress can quickly destroy it, it would also cost us the surprise advantage.”
Leo Ray took over the conversation again, nodding, “I’ll take care of one of the fortresses myself and destroy it as quickly as possible.”
Upon hearing that Leo Ray would take down a fortress on his own, instead of showing any surprise, the generals present felt relieved.
If it were anyone else making such a boastful claim, they would naturally be ridiculed.
But Leo Ray’s earlier feats of single-handedly challenging Tie 5 Powerhouses and defeating 30 Legions are well-known, giving him enough credibility to make such unimaginable statements.
“Then I’ll take on the other fortress!”
Louise was the second to stand up, patting her ample chest and saying, “I’ve further modified the ’Fortress’ magic engine, and the Prince of the Human Race has equipped the ’Fortress’ with numerous powerful alchemy bombs, enough to easily blow the opponent sky-high!”
