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

Capítulo 2463: Chapter 1362: Discussion and Preparations

“Conditions?”

Looking at Leo Ray’s intense smile, after the initial surprise, Ruth and Davis began to have contrasting expressions.

The former appeared eager, raising her sharp ears intently, while the latter wore a slightly furrowed brow on his draconic face, as it wasn’t difficult to see from Leo Ray’s expression and his decisive agreement earlier that this so-called minor condition would evidently be a very exaggerated demand.

“Then I’ll speak frankly.”

Leo Ray raised his eyebrows slightly, smiling as he said, “Actually, the matter is quite simple. Although the trolls and minotaurs have retreated, they still covet the ore vein. I hope everyone can join forces with us to completely resolve this problem.”

After Leo Ray spoke, everyone on our side nodded with sudden understanding.

Your Majesty of the Humans is right. These two forces are indeed like two mad golem puppets, ready to cause trouble at any moment, making it so we can hardly rest in peace. If we can eliminate this threat, it would surely remove a significant threat to our side.

And now, since the other party has come forward to cooperate, we naturally cannot miss this excellent opportunity to gain allies.

“So that’s it; it’s been our long-cherished wish as well.”

Hearing Leo Ray’s words, Ruth nodded without hesitation.

To her, as long as it meant better mining of the ore vein, these things were naturally not an issue.

Beside Ruth, only Davis still wore a furrowed brow on his draconic face.

Though Leo Ray’s words sounded entirely reasonable and aligned with both parties’ interests, he couldn’t shake off a sense of something amiss.

After a moment, Davis finally identified what was wrong and asked with a frown, “Your Majesty of the Humans, when you say joining forces, you don’t mean having us as the main force against the trolls and minotaurs, do you?”

“Your Highness Prince misunderstands. Since we have achieved cooperation, we are considered friends. As the saying goes, we would go to great lengths for our friends. How could we let friends face strong foes alone?”

Leo Ray smiled slightly and replied, “It’s just that while the Humans, Treants, Flower Fairies, and Dwarf Elves have just driven away the giant dragon and are greatly weakened, and the Flower Fairies have suffered heavy losses, only you have the slightest losses. In such a situation, it’s not too much to be at the forefront, right?”

“Your Majesty of the Humans, I think you intend to let the trolls and minotaurs stab us twice.”

Davis’s mouth twitched, and the veins on his forehead bulged, clearly not agreeing immediately.

On the previous battlefield, the Dragonborn who manipulated everything from behind had caused the trolls and minotaurs quite some trouble. Once they encountered either of them again, they’d surely face crazy retaliation, and the losses might not be small.

The most crucial part is that once a further standoff occurs between the Dragonborn, trolls, and minotaurs, the initiative in this region would naturally fall completely into the hands of the Emperor of the Human Race.

“Your Highness Winged Prince, this matter is of great importance. May I ask Your Highness to assist me once more!”

Seeing Davis in hesitation, not waiting for Leo Ray to speak, Ruth persuaded actively, “Light Half-Elves will never forget the help of the Dragonborn, and I will definitely accomplish the task I promised you as soon as possible!”

Seeing this scene, Leo Ray squinted slightly, with an expression as if everything was as expected.

He knew he was asking for some strong demands, and the other party would not easily agree.

But judging by Light Half-Elf Ruth’s performance, she was clearly very concerned about mining the ore vein. So, she would bring up this matter without any hesitation, because Ruth would help convince Davis even without him saying anything else.

“It seems my deductions were correct. But this Light Half-Elf seems to be overly invested in mining the ore vein, first setting aside grievances to seek cooperation, then persuading Davis so actively. It feels like there’s something else hidden within.”

Leo Ray’s mind raced as he watched Ruth persuading Davis.

After all, Light Half-Elves are a clearly stronger second-tier power. Even if their Grand Army couldn’t come here, such a humble approach inevitably raised suspicions.

“At its core, their desire for magic crystals is too strong. A second-tier power based in the Outer Region core needs magic crystals, of course, but they wouldn’t go to such reckless lengths unless they had other motives.”

Having reached this conclusion in his mind, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.

It seemed that within the Ancient Dark Elf Mine ruins at Yingying Peak, besides the ore veins yet to be mined, there were other unknown things, which were what drove these Light Half-Elves to traverse mountains and valleys and humble themselves to gain them.

Just as Leo Ray thought of this, Davis was persuaded by Ruth and nodded, saying, “Understood. I agree with Your Majesty of the Human’s proposal and am willing to lead troops with Your Majesty against the trolls and minotaurs.”

“A wise choice.”

Leo Ray snapped his fingers lightly, smiling as he said, “The opponent will likely take action soon. Let’s begin preparations immediately.”

With that, Leo Ray had Fanny set up a large sand table and began arranging strategies.

Under Leo Ray’s arrangements, the corresponding battle plan quickly took shape and received approval from everyone.

This time our strategic objective was simple: to set a grand ambush, waiting for the adversary to take the bait, to completely eliminate the threat of the trolls and minotaurs.
