Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong - Chapter 2610: 1437: A Shocking Truth (Part 2)
Chapter 2610: Chapter 1437: A Shocking Truth (Part 2)
“But we’ve come all this way, already making our enemies submit. Who would go to such lengths to set up such an elaborate plot?”
Broy furrowed his brow in thought for a moment before suddenly having a revelation and said, “Could it be…”
With Broy’s sudden realization, the other mighty ones also reacted, clearly thinking of the same answer.
“That’s right, there’s only one force we haven’t completely defeated, and that is the Witch Demon.”
Leo Ray stated the thought in everyone’s mind, asserting, “Back then, with the assistance of the Ancient Dark Elves, we managed to repel this sudden formidable foe, but that was clearly not their entire force. Not to mention, some of the Witch Demons fled in defeat.”
“After having their conspiracy thwarted by Your Majesty, and losing troops, the Witch Demon Leader must harbor resentment. Yet they cannot shake us alone, so they’ve laid such a vicious trap, trying to incite conflict between us and the two alliances.”
On Harnell’s rough old face, there was a solemnity as he nodded heavily.
“And whether we place blame on either alliance, and thus begin a full conflict, those Witch Demons would reap the benefits. What a cunning plan.”
Nal’s forehead was bulging with veins, his face boiling with killing intent as he exclaimed, “Those damned guys even dared to ambush Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness Prince. I will never let them off!”
After Nal spoke, the other mighty Dragonborn bowed to Leo Ray. “We ask Your Majesty to lead us to justice!”
“Rest assured, I will surely eradicate those scoundrels. Meanwhile, we must also quickly find Dana and Davis.”
Leo Ray nodded to Nal and the others, saying, “According to our previous deduction, it’s likely that there are moles within one or even both of the alliances, which means Dana and Davis might be held somewhere within those alliances, not in the Witch Demons’ territory.”
“What Your Majesty says is very true. If things turn bad, they might use the Dragonborn Queen and others to threaten us, so this is crucial.”
Fanny nodded vigorously, agreeing and then asking, “So what shall we do next?”
“It’s quite simple. Since we know the two alliances aren’t the masterminds, it is best to first reconcile and then enlist their help as much as possible. This not only helps us find Dana and others faster but might also aid us in vanquishing the Witch Demons.”
Leo Ray slightly raised an eyebrow and replied, “As for what happens next, we will take it step by step. After all, no plan can keep up with change. This incident at least allows us to close some gaps with the two alliances.”
Upon hearing Leo Ray’s words, everyone nodded in agreement, and then Leo Ray and the Administrator returned to the previous hall.
In the spacious, bright hall, upon seeing Leo Ray make an appearance again, the intense hostilities simmered down.
“Please remain calm, everyone.”
After confirming that neither side was the mastermind, Leo Ray smiled faintly and spoke, “According to the latest information I obtained, we have unveiled the true culprit.”
“Oh? Have we finally confirmed it’s the Desert Alliance?”
Loris, with a composed look on his lion face, was the first to speak, “Your Majesty of the Humans, the Rainforest Fortress Alliance is willing to join you in eliminating them!”
“Villains are always eager to clear themselves. Rest assured, Your Majesty of the Humans, the Desert Alliance is determined to assist in rooting them out. Those elite troops of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance will be left to us to handle.”
Sina was not to be outdone, giving a cold hum, “Now, can we confirm it is indeed the Rainforest Fortress Alliance that is the mastermind?”
“I’m afraid there is no need for the two of you to attack each other this time, as the true culprit lies elsewhere.”
Leo Ray did not beat around the bush, describing the matter of the Witch Demons.
“So, it’s those repugnant creatures.”
After hearing what Leo Ray said, Loris’ lion eyes became sharper, frowning, “The area where the Witch Demons reside is perennially shrouded in miasma so dense that one can barely see their hand in front of them. Only with Tier 5 strength can one enter safely. Otherwise, my Rainforest Fortress Alliance would have eradicated them long ago.”
“Rainforest leader sure speaks big words. As far as I know, you’ve suffered no small losses at their hands.”
Sina cast a glance at Loris, then turned to Leo Ray and said, “Rest assured, Your Majesty of the Humans, those fellows took me as a mere pawn too. I won’t let them off easily. If Your Majesty of the Humans takes action, we will certainly assist with full force.”
“Our Rainforest Fortress Alliance will not sit idly like a fool, allowing them to dictate terms. We will definitely lend a hand!”
Just as Loris expressed his view and was about to chastise Sina again, Leo Ray’s voice spoke first, “I understand both leaders’ resolve. When it comes time to eliminate the Witch Demons, I will notify both of you. Besides, there is one more matter I need both of you to assist with.”
Then Leo Ray relayed the task of searching for Dana and Davis to them.
“Rest assured, Your Majesty of the Humans, once I return, I will immediately begin organizing a search.”
Loris patted his chest and assented without the slightest hesitation.
“So will we. Please do not worry, Your Majesty of the Humans.”
Sina was not to be outdone, promptly speaking.
Leo Ray was, after all, the owner of the equipment they coveted in their dreams. Coupled with the fact that the situation had genuinely enraged them, at least until the Witch Demons were eradicated, they would stand by our side.
Gazing at the determined expressions of the two leaders, Leo Ray was well aware of the connections involved, maintaining his smile, and said, “Then I will trouble the two leaders then.”
Saying this, Leo Ray gathered his thoughts and asked the question that had long puzzled him: “Why did the two of you choose to amass troops at the border not long ago?”
“To be honest, Your Majesty of the Humans, it was because someone within the alliance discovered intel suggesting Your Majesty’s intention to plot against us.”
This time, Sina responded with candor.
“The same goes for us. In such a situation, taking precautions is naturally without peril.”
Loris displayed the same attitude, continuing to speak.
As both sides had already reached this level of discussion and were about to face a common foe, there was no longer any need for concealment.
“But don’t the two leaders find it odd? Both of you almost simultaneously deployed forces to the border, and then the Forest-side Fortress was suddenly attacked. Doesn’t that seem a bit too coincidental? Perhaps you should investigate the source of the information.”
Leo Ray refrained from further elaboration, but the implication was clear.
There were certainly forces within the two alliances that had aligned with the Witch Demons, unknowingly causing both sides to station troops at the border, laying the groundwork for the ensuing assault.
Upon hearing Leo Ray’s words, Loris and Sina both immediately understood, their eyes flashing with sharpness.
“Well, there is no time to lose, so let’s get to the main topic. As the equipment owner, I will certainly fulfill my promise. As long as the two of you provide items that satisfy me, the set of equipment outside will be yours.”
Leo Ray stated thus and took out two Sixth-order Charging Potions previously displayed, continuing, “And these are gifts I prepared for the two of you, after all, I had promised earlier.”
Seeing Leo Ray deliver on his word, both those of the Desert Alliance led by Sina and those of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance led by Loris cast him looks mixed with a bit of reverence, calming themselves and taking a deep breath.
Next, it would undoubtedly be the key to whether they could obtain the Sixth-order Equipment. Only by acquiring it could they more effectively identify the renegades and eliminate the Witch Demons!
“Now, let me see what you’ve brought to trade.”
Leo Ray sat steadily at the negotiation table, nodding slightly.
