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

Capítulo 2464: Chapter 1362: Discussion and Preparation (Part 2)

“Worthy is Your Majesty of the Human Clan, this strategic deployment can be said to be perfect!”

After everything was arranged, Fanny’s fair face was full of excitement, and she nodded heavily, saying: “As long as the opponent steps into our trap, I’m afraid they will find it hard to escape disaster!”

After Fanny spoke, the others on our side also nodded, looking eager to get into action.

As for the front opposing us, not only did Ruth nod repeatedly, even Davis’s expression softened a lot, obviously agreeing with Leo Ray’s plan.

“Then it’s settled, and it will all depend on the Royal Highness Winged Prince.”

Leo Ray gently raised an eyebrow, not forgetting to tease the other party in the end.

Leo Ray clearly understood that although according to his layout, the power of the Dragonborn would eventually be collected, from the current situation, the Light Half-Elf and the Dragonborn had obviously reached some kind of agreement, which made the latter willing to send troops to assist, something that could be confirmed from Ruth’s words of persuasion just now.

So, at least at this stage, without a suitable opportunity, he couldn’t act against the Dragonborn, or it would backfire.

Besides, he still hadn’t figured out what the Light Half-Elf truly wanted, and it was unwise to alert the enemy before knowing this.

Moreover, he hadn’t even figured out Ruth’s identity, but judging by the Old Half-Elf’s respect for her, she must hold a significant position among the Light Half-Elves.

Therefore, until everything becomes clear, borrowing the opponent’s strength to the maximum extent is undoubtedly the most appropriate way to handle things.

“Rest assured, Your Majesty of the Human Clan, since the Dragonborn have already agreed, they will never go back on their word.”

Davis’s dragon face showed a hint of helplessness as he nodded slightly.

“Your Majesty of the Human Clan, since the battle deployment has been completed, shouldn’t we now focus on the ancient mine ruins themselves?”

Ruth’s starry eyes flickered with a hint of urgency as she nodded at Leo Ray.

“Just now, Your Excellency Ruth also mentioned that this Dark Elf Race mine possesses a self-destructing magic array, and is filled with many magic traps and summoning arrays. According to your view, how should we proceed with mining?”

Leo Ray leaned against the conference table, resting his chin on one hand as he spoke.

“It’s very simple, we will take the lead and eliminate all threats.”

Ruth nodded without hesitation, responding: “Your Majesty of the Human Clan and everyone else only need to operate in the rear and safe areas, ready for any unforeseen events.”

“The Light Half-Elves are most professional in countering Dark Elves, we have no objections.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, then changed the subject, saying: “However, there is one thing I need to add, given that we have reached a cooperation, for fairness and safety, neither side can act alone within the mine, and that includes the excavation area, for aside from the ore vein, the ancient mine ruins may still harbor other treasures.”

“Your Majesty of the Human Clan, detecting and dismantling the Dark Elf’s magic traps is an extremely focused task, and it must not be interrupted by non-professionals. Yet you insist on placing strong individuals in our team, do you really distrust us?”

Hearing this, the Old Half-Elf Mallen, who had remained silent, frowned, his old face full of dissatisfaction as he spoke.

“You’ve misunderstood, elder. I precisely understand the peril lurking within the ancient mine, which is why I plan to dispatch more strong individuals to act as your protector, that’s all.”

Leo Ray shrugged, smiling as he responded: “Unless the elder has a guilty conscience, is there something secret you need to achieve within the mine?”

“You…”

Upon hearing Leo Ray’s meaningful words, Mallen’s old face immediately changed, about to speak in retort, but Ruth stopped him.

“Understood, everything will be according to Your Majesty of the Human Clan.”

Ruth’s face became significantly calmer, nodding at Leo Ray.

“Very well, now there’s only one issue left, and that’s the matter of profit distribution.”

Leo Ray snapped his fingers lightly, proposing: “With so many forces participating in this excavation – the Human Clan, Dwarf Elf, Treant, Wood Fairy, Flower Fairy, alongside the Dragonborn and Light Half-Elf – in fairness, how about the Dragonborn and Light Half-Elf together receive a tenth of the entire mine’s profits?”

Hearing this, our side naturally agreed with Leo Ray’s view, while the other side slightly furrowed their brows.

Particularly Davis and Nal, even their dragon mouths were about to spew fire; even if evenly distributed, the Dragonborn and Light Half-Elf would receive more than just a tenth, would they not? In what way is that fair, especially since the Dragonborn are the main force against the Trolls and Minotaurs!

“Your Majesty of the Human Clan, this distribution seems somewhat unfair, doesn’t it?”

Davis’s dragon face was full of indignation, unable to hold back as he spoke: “If you disregard us, what cooperation is there to speak of?”

“Your Highness, I hope you understand one thing.”

Leo Ray first appeared with a smiling face, then the smile faded, saying: “It was you who actively sought cooperation, if dissatisfied, you can leave, and no one will stop you.”

The reason Leo Ray spoke this way was naturally to blunt the other party’s edge.

As for the profit distribution, Leo Ray actually did not care too much about it, it was merely icing on the cake.

Moreover, making the opponent think he emphasized interests would also reduce their guard against him.

In this way, he would undoubtedly be easier able to discern the true key item the opponent desired.

“Your Majesty of the Human Clan, a tenth does seem a little too little, we count as two forces after all.”

Ruth furrowed her brows, yet still tried to argue with Leo Ray.

Ultimately, both sides took a step back, increasing the share to one and a half tenths.

“Then let us wish for a pleasant cooperation.”

Once everything was settled, Leo Ray rose from his seat, shaking hands with the other party one by one.

On the other side, aside from Ruth, though all bore rather unsatisfied expressions, they could do nothing about it.

Through the exchange just now, they clearly understood that gaining benefits from this Human Emperor before them was as challenging as reaching the heavens.

Thereafter, Leo Ray did not continue to bicker with them, immediately setting his plans into motion.

As night fell, and moonlight grazed the earth, Leo Ray led his people to the vicinity of Whispering Peak once more, and as they awaited the opponent’s bait, the matter of the mine could not be neglected.

The entire vicinity of Whispering Peak was brightly lit, countless magic orbs suspended in mid-air, emanating dazzling light.

On the ground, shadows bustled to and fro, and many large magical energy machines operated by Dwarf Elves roared aloud.

“Your Majesty, the Absolute Defense Barrier has been constructed, and is equipped with other detection barriers, their scouts will absolutely be unable to enter here.”

Leo Ray walked towards the busiest excavation area, listening to Crisis’s report.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Leo Ray nodded at Crisis, just before Broy’s voice rang out: “Your Majesty, the process of delving underground has been smooth, and upon receiving news of the ancient mine ruins, the approach was changed to vertical descent, so it won’t be long before we see the true ruins.”

Broy paused momentarily as he finished, pressing slightly on his ear, evidently receiving magic communications, focused on listening.

Soon after, Broy’s eyes lit up, he nodded at Leo Ray, saying: “Your Majesty, the latest news indicates that we have already reached the threshold of the ancient mine!”

“Oh? Faster than I anticipated.”

Leo Ray raised an eyebrow, smiling as he replied: “Since we’ve reached the threshold, there’s no time to lose, let’s begin immediately.”

“Understood, Your Majesty, the Light Half-Elf pathfinders have just arrived nearby, I’ll inform them at once.”

Broy nodded, swiftly turning to make arrangements.

“Now then, let’s see the true face of this ore vein, and whether it truly is as dangerous as they say.”

Leo Ray quickened his pace, leading a group of our strong individuals onward rapidly.
