Chapter 2195: Chapter 1223: The Lord Steps into the Hall (Part 2)
Although Teresa’s strength is only Tier 5 First Star, as a Dark Elf, she has seen many strong dark elves and can clearly discern them.
The imposing aura emitted by the old and the young was extremely dense, and every movement slightly trembled the space, which undoubtedly meant that both had reached the Tier 6 level that even a Tier 5 Powerhouse could only dream of!
To have the allegiance of two Tier 6 experts, Leo Ray had clearly stepped into a new realm, far beyond the scope of any human king.
“Your Excellency, Saintess, you are too modest. Thanks to your Appearance Scroll, I was able to advance swiftly.”
Leo Ray glanced at the neatly trimmed and exquisite garden around him, smiling slightly as he said: “The fact that I have gotten to where I am today is also due to your great contribution, Your Excellency, Saintess.”
“Your Highness the Prince is overly complimentary, compared to your pivotal and tide-turning efforts, I am not even worthy of adding the finishing touch, merely doing my small part. If it weren’t for Your Highness defeating that source of evil, even I and this palace would have been destroyed here.”
A touch of gratitude oozed from Teresa’s words, and then she softly raised her eyebrows, saying: “It’s precisely because of Your Highness the Prince’s keen tactics that I’ve been able to turn passive into active.”
With that, Teresa looked around, seeing the Saint Night Soldiers on patrol and on post were all adorned with the Moon Palace’s emblem, with flags of the Moon Palace planted everywhere.
This undoubtedly meant that the entire court was already under her control.
“It’s truly a reassuring scene.”
Leo Ray, of course, had also noticed this long ago, and with a slight smile, he remarked: “Speaking of which, why did Your Excellency, Saintess, arrange to meet me here and not at the Moon Palace headquarters?”
“Your Highness the Prince is surely knowingly asking.”
With a casual demeanor, Teresa replied: “At present, the Coldflame Kingdom, Grimm Kingdom, Verdant Kingdom, and Ironhand Archipelago are all looking to Your Highness the Prince for leadership, and the reason Your Highness sought me out first is to discuss how to take control of the Saint Night Kingdom, isn’t it?”
“Indeed, I would like to hear Your Excellency, Saintess’s advice.”
Leo Ray slightly nodded, responding: “After all, Your Excellency is no outsider, you are my most important partner, and I would never put you in a difficult position.”
“Thank you for your trust, Your Highness the Prince, then the matter is quite simple.”
Teresa smiled warmly and continued: “As long as it is confirmed that the New Holy Night King is not bewitched by that source of evil, Your Highness need only subdue him, just like Elusa, and in this way, the Saint Night Kingdom will fall into Your Highness’s hands.”
“If the New King has been influenced, Your Highness can then crown another member of the Saint Night Royal Family.”
Hearing Teresa’s words, Leo Ray couldn’t help but be taken aback.
Although Leo Ray indeed thought so, he didn’t expect the idea to come from Teresa’s mouth first.
After all, Teresa is the Lunar Temple Holy Maiden, assigned by the Dark Elf Kingdom as a Guardian, undertaking the duty of protecting the Saint Night Kingdom.
“Your Highness the Prince need not be surprised; your dominion over the Human Clan world is only a matter of time; how could my Saint Night Kingdom stand insulated? It’s just an inevitable result.”
Teresa maintained her faint smile and replied: “Only by doing so can the Saint Night Kingdom fall into your hands without a fight, and I can also report back to Her Majesty the Dark Elf Queen.”
At this point, Teresa raised her eyebrows and continued: “Your Highness wouldn’t want to clash with the Dark Elf Kingdom, would you?”
“The Dark Elf Kingdom is both yours and Elusa’s homeland, it’s far better to be friends than enemies.”
Leo Ray shrugged and said straightforwardly: “Besides, my next goal is to step out of the Human Clan world, perhaps the Dark Elf Kingdom might become an indispensable ally.”
“Your Highness the Prince truly has grand aspirations.”
This time, it was Teresa’s turn to be struck with a bit of embarrassment, smiling awkwardly.
Having grown up in the Dark Elf Kingdom, she clearly understood.
Despite Leo Ray’s dominion over the Human World, which can be deemed the unprecedented individual since the Era of Blankness, significantly elevating the strength of the Human World.
Even so, gathering the entire current strength of the Human Clan is by no means a match for the Dark Elf Kingdom, not even close to half, which illustrates the might of the Outer Region races.
Moreover, although it’s reluctant to admit, the declining Dark Elf Kingdom over nearly a millennium can barely be considered as second or even third-rate in the Outer Region, as evidenced by this fact.
To those hidden first-rate powers, the Human Clan is utterly indistinguishable from ants.
“Ambitious, are we? Back when I was merely a small City Lord in Cyan City, someone also said this when looking at the Coldflame Kingdom, and now I stand at the pinnacle of the Human World.”
Leo Ray immediately discerned the implication in Teresa’s words, smiling slightly and said, “The world is unpredictable, no one can foresee what the future holds, isn’t it so?”
“His Royal Highness the Prince is right, perhaps one day, I will truly and proudly tell all in the Dark Elf Kingdom that this young man from the Human Clan is my close friend, he will bring honor, and a new future to the Dark Elves.”
Teresa’s starry eyes gleamed with a shimmer, she too smiled and said, “I am indeed somewhat looking forward to that day.”
“Perhaps that day is not far off.”
As Leo Ray spoke, an ancient and heavily fortified castle had already appeared before their group.
“Your Royal Highness Prince, there is Nightwatch Castle, the core of the court, the New Holy Night King and all ministers have already been gathered in the King’s Hall, awaiting your Royal Highness’s arrival.”
Teresa nodded to Leo Ray, her expression turning serious, and solemnly said, “I only know that among them, someone must have been bewitched by that evil source; however, it’s impossible to discern exactly who, so I kindly ask your Royal Highness Prince to root out these harmful elements.”
“Fear not, I have my methods of discerning.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly, then quickened his pace.
Under Teresa’s guidance, it didn’t take long before Leo Ray and his entourage had passed through the multiple layers of defenses of the castle and arrived in the King’s Hall of the Saint Night Kingdom.
As the massive doors of the hall were pushed open, a loud herald’s voice resonated: “Savior of the Human World, His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince of Coldflame Kingdom has arrived!”
For a moment, the previously restless King’s Hall fell into dead silence.
Watched by hundreds of high-ranking nobles of the Saint Night, a tall and valiant young man walked in slowly on a red carpet.
No need to ask, this was Leo Ray.
Simultaneously, he was the first in nearly a millennium to enter the hall of power in the Saint Night Kingdom with guards, with the posture of a conqueror.
Behind Leo Ray, standing neatly were Teresa, Elder Bing, Little Jie, Jasper Richardson, Taylor, and 8 Tier 5 Alchemy Puppet Black Guardians, who had fully recovered from previous battles, creating an overwhelming aura that shook every Saint Night noble to their core.
Seeing such a lavish and terrifying entourage of Leo Ray’s making, the Saint Night nobles couldn’t help but swallow hard, feeling their scalps tingle and barely daring to breathe.
Even the New Holy Night King, sitting in the highest position, immediately sprung up from the throne, standing there with a wretched look of helplessness.
It was acknowledged that an ordinary king having two Tier 5 National Level powerhouse guards was already considered the peak among the Human Clan.
Yet the luxurious lineup of Leo Ray clearly surpassed this scope by far!
It’s no exaggeration to say that if Leo Ray wished, with just a flick of the finger, in the blink of an eye, this place would be inevitably drenched in blood, becoming a purgatory on earth.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, the recent savior of the Human World, is this how the Saint Night Kingdom treats guests?”
Seeing the scene mired in deathly silence, a glint of somberness appeared on Teresa’s fair face as she sternly addressed everyone.
Upon hearing this, the New Holy Night King standing before the throne was momentarily stunned, then scrambled down from the high platform, directly approaching Leo Ray.
