Chapter 2200: Chapter 1226: The Lord’s Might (Part 2)
Especially during Leo Ray’s final showdown with the Malevolent Deity’s Chosen Son, Diana’s effusive praise left no detail unspoken, almost making Leo Ray himself feel embarrassed.
“Now do you realize how foolish your choices were back then? Not only did you draw swords against the savior of the Human World, but you also became minions of the evil source attempting to destroy it.”
Diana’s sharp gaze swept back and forth over the two, coldly snorting, “Not bowing in repentance to His Royal Highness yet?”
“It’s all because we overestimated ourselves. Please, Your Highness the Prince, be magnanimous!”
At the sound, Seveil and Andre immediately trembled, falling to their knees again, not daring to lift their heads.
“The ones you need to apologize to are not me, but the entire Human World.”
Leo Ray’s eyes narrowed slightly, saying calmly, “Gather your generals and soldiers. Among them surely remain remnants of the Malevolent Deity’s Chosen Son—this will be your first step in repentance.”
Then, with Andre and Seveil’s full cooperation, Leo Ray not only brought all matters to light but quickly rooted out all hidden members of the Black Abyss Brotherhood within the Eternal Sleep Canyon.
Especially among the main war nobles of the Saint Night Kingdom and senior councilors of the Orchid Federation, nearly half had become puppets of the enemy, leaving Andre and Seveil themselves slack-jawed.
After eradicating these parasites on the spot and arranging follow-up measures to eliminate the roots completely, Leo Ray summoned New King Willy and instructed him to take over the Grand Army of the Saint Night Kingdom.
Among these trapped Holy Night Army troops were also a group of upright nobles, they could well become Willy’s competent staff, assisting in reorganizing the Holy Night Court.
Of course, due to Leo Ray’s connection, Teresa, the Lunar Temple Holy Maiden, naturally exerted all her efforts in assistance, allowing everything to proceed very smoothly.
Notably during this process, Leo Ray unexpectedly discovered two old acquaintances, Baron Yeste, whom he initially met on the border battlefield, and former vice captain Alexander Montgomery.
Seeing the renowned Holy Lion Prince turn out to be Leo Ray, Yeste and Alexander’s astonishment was understandable.
Astonished and deeply honored, the two, amid surprise and joy, even vied to kiss Leo Ray’s boots, which he eventually refused.
Nonetheless, they naturally became an immediate asset, and Leo Ray effortlessly took them as subordinates.
“The subordinates pledge to serve the Lord loyally unto death!”
In the Central Military Tent, after signing the contract, Yeste and Alexander both knelt down in front of Leo Ray, their faces full of excitement.
They never could have imagined they were so fortunate to meet such an illustrious figure!
“No need for formalities, after all, you are comrades who have fought alongside me.”
Leo Ray smiled faintly, helping them up one after another, and casually checked the attribute column.
[Name: Yeste]
[Occupation: Fire Mage]
[Tier: Tier 3 three-star]
[Loyalty: 100]
[Skill 1: Fire Fox Arrow “Active” (Fire Attribute Magic Single Target Attack with Burn Effect and Splash Effect)]
[Skill 2: Fire Spirit Breath “Active” (Fire Attribute Magic Group Attack with Burn Effect and Splash Effect)]

[Skill 3: One-Handed Sword Mastery “Passive” (Slightly increases damage when using a one-handed sword)]
“Though your power is somewhat lacking, you helped me quite a bit before, so I’ll let you soar to new heights.”
Closing the attribute column, Leo Ray casually bestowed upon them several kinds of Magic Medicine that permanently increased strength, enabling them to reach Tier 4 Level, and left them around Willy.
Of course, Leo Ray did not forget Teresa, the Moon Palace Liaison Officer, and likewise elevated her to the status of a Tier 4 Powerhouse, letting her stay by Teresa’s side.
As for Griffin Prince Andre, he was stripped of all noble titles, banished from the Saint Night Royal Family, and imprisoned while awaiting judgement, presenting New King Willy with an excellent opportunity to establish dominance.
“Now, it’s time for the Orchid Federation.”
After handling all matters of the Saint Night Kingdom, Leo Ray gathered Seveil and the uncorrupted generals of the Orchid Federation in the central military tent.
“Greetings, His Royal Highness the Sacred Lion!”
Having witnessed Leo Ray’s fierce means in eliminating the remnants, neither Seveil, as the Chairman, nor the generals of the Orchid Federation dared to show any negligence, and they all knelt before Leo Ray.
“You all must be very clear about the situation.”
Leo Ray’s scrutinizing gaze moved, landing one by one on the people before him, and he said indifferently, “From this matter, it is evident that Seveil is too old to continue serving as Chairman, and thus I will select a new Chairman from among you, one capable of leading the Orchid Federation into the light.”
When Leo Ray spoke, the entire hall fell silent.
The old Chairman, knowing he was in deep trouble, had nothing to say and stood aside with a face full of shame.
The generals of the Orchid Federation swallowed hard, equally afraid to make any noise.
Everyone clearly understood, the young man from the otherworld before them had become the Master of the Human World; kings dared not oppose him, and he surpassed even the three major neutral organizations. Who would dare to defy his words?
“Earth Wolf Tribe, Spirit Rabbit Tribe, Fox People Tribe…”
Leo Ray’s gaze continued to wander, passing over the human generals until it landed on the humanoid generals.
The Orchid Federation was originally an alliance of numerous humanoid tribes and the human clan, so the appearance of these humanoid generals was not surprising.
“Your name is Phil, right? Just from the pronunciation, you have the same name as a princess I met not long ago, and also share the name with that old fire mage of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps.”
Leo Ray’s gaze finally settled on a young Foxman general, and he lightly snapped his fingers, saying, “Then, you will be the new Chairman of the Orchid Federation.”
“Great Prince, you, you mean me?”
Phil’s brown ears on top of his head quivered, and he said incredulously, “This, is this true?!”
Looking at Phil’s utterly surprised face, Leo Ray smiled slightly and said, “Of course, from this moment, you are the supreme ruler of the Orchid Federation.”
“A thousand thanks, Your Royal Highness! I will certainly not disappoint your expectations!”
Phil’s resolute face was full of excitement as he knelt once more before Leo Ray.
Including Seveil, the other generals naturally dared not have any objections and eagerly expressed their support and agreement.
Seeing this expected scene, Leo Ray nodded slightly.
This decision, although seemingly hasty to outsiders, was actually the result of Leo Ray’s careful consideration.
Having thoroughly researched the Orchid Federation, Leo Ray knew very well.
The Fox People are the elite among many humanoid races, possessing not only keen observation and senses but also formidable combat abilities, and they are mostly of upright character, combining the agility of fox-type demon beasts with human simplicity, making them the best choice for subordinates.
Moreover, regarding the Orchid Federation’s power structure, it was known that no humanoid race had reached the pinnacle of the power pyramid.
This expressed Leo Ray’s determination to change the Orchid Federation, intimidated the high-ranking parliamentary generals, and gained favor and full support from the humanoid races, achieving a perfect balance.
“Subordinates are willing to lead the Light Feather Tribe, and even the entire Orchid Federation, sworn to loyally serve the Lord!”
Indeed, in subsequent private talks with Phil, Leo Ray easily won the loyalty of this Foxman general and gained a capable lieutenant.
[Name: Phil]
[Occupation: Foxman Archer]
[Level: Tier 4 five-star]
[Loyalty: 100]
[Skill 1: Storm Rapid Fire “Active” (Long-range physical single-unit attack)]
[Skill 2: Winged Arrow Intercept “Active” (Cannot move, increases own range)]
[Skill 3: Spirit Fox’s Eye “Passive” (Gains night vision effect)]
[Skill 4: Heart of Foxman Archer “Passive” (Increases damage when using Longbow, immune to blindness effect)]
After closing Phil’s attribute column, Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction.
What needs to be done next is to further consolidate Phil’s position, enabling him to fully control the Orchid Federation.
