Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong - Chapter 2646: 1456: Deeper into the Black Fog (Part 2)

Chapter 2646: Chapter 1456: Deeper into the Black Fog (Part 2)

Leo Ray clearly understood that whether it was Loris or Sina, both were formidable entities who would not easily submit to others. Therefore, it was evident that he was the most suitable choice for the position.

Having said that, Leo Ray symbolically appointed Loris and Sina as deputy commanders. The powerful legion of nearly ten thousand strong then set off in grand fashion towards the Howling Land shrouded in black fog.

…

“Did they really come?”

Deep in the Howling Land, within a vast skeletal palace, the Witch Demon Leader stared at the crystal ball before him. A hint of mockery flashed on his face, covered with strange runes, as if he had expected this all along.

Then, he looked at the indistinct, massive figure at the head of the hall, showing rare respect as he asked: “My lord, the other side comes with great force, I’m afraid they’re not easy to deal with.”

The Witch Demon Leader’s respectful attitude made it clear that this was the backing behind the witch demons.

Moreover, this literally was a towering presence, as the massive figure filled the entire rear half of the skeletal palace, akin to a mountain peak.

“You still have 80 Tier 3 Legions and 20 Tier 4 Legions totaling a million undead army here. Those ants number only ten thousand at most, even if they were all above Tier 5, they would still exhaust themselves to death.”

The low voice of the giant shadow spoke monotonously, saying: “Don’t forget that this is your home ground. These mists can weaken those ants’ strength while increasing yours and the undead army’s strength. With this exchange of power, the enemy is nothing to fear.”

“My lord, though you say so, don’t forget that the Emperor of the Human Race is among them. Compared to the two alliances, although his power is the weakest, he’s undoubtedly the hardest to deal with.”

The Witch Demon Leader’s face darkened as he added: “As long as he’s present, things are likely to change.”

“In the end, they’re just ants. It’s nothing significant. Whether it’s the Human Domain or those two alliances, they will soon turn into a purgatory.”

The voice of the giant shadow carried a trace of disdain as it responded: “Don’t forget our plan is flawless. Even if those ants indeed attempt to struggle, I will personally deal with them.”

“Haha, upon hearing you say that, I’m completely reassured. Compared to you, those guys are nothing.”

The Witch Demon Leader sneered, saying: “Since those ants have come to die, let’s grant them their wish.”

…

Swept by a gust of swift wind, Leo Ray, along with Loris, Sina, and others, were the first to plunge into a patch of pitch-black fog.

It is worth mentioning that before entering the Howling Land, Leo Ray had casually pulled out tens of thousands of Tier 5 mobile-type magic medicine and other high-tier items, bestowing considerable buff increases on every strong member of the army. Loris and Sina were left staring at each other in even greater astonishment, realizing that, even with their resources, they could not achieve such a level.

Following the encounters at the Shadow Market, the two were once again witnessing Leo Ray’s unfathomable depth.

Under the respectful gaze of the crowd, the moment they entered, Leo Ray felt a brief stagnation in the energy flow of the two energy vortexes inside him. Although the stagnation was not noticeable, it undoubtedly indicated that this black fog was more bizarre than expected.

Looking out at the dense black fog, sunlight could not penetrate, rendering the surroundings completely dark, as if day had suddenly turned into night.

Not only that, but vision was also greatly impaired, with visibility limited to within a hundred meters. Although completely shielded by energy barriers, a pungent, rotten stench still assailed them, almost suffocating.

“Indeed, this isn’t a place where ordinary people can stay.”

Leo Ray frowned slightly, attempting to activate several Tier 6 holy and light element purification magic scrolls, but they sank into the fog without causing any ripple.

“Your Majesty of the Humans, it’s useless.”

Sina shook her head in resignation, saying: “Back then, our Desert Alliance gathered all the experts proficient in purification, attempting to dispel this bizarre miasmatic black fog, but it had no effect. This fog seems to have melded into this dead land, remaining uncontrollable.”

“Indeed, we can only bite the bullet and press on.”

Loris, having evidently attempted similar means before, was now filled with fighting spirit as he declared: “Though our Rainforest Fortress Alliance could not do anything last time and had to retreat, now we march in unison, led by Your Majesty of the Humans, and we are determined to eradicate them completely!”

With Loris’s declaration, the champions of the two alliances around them were eager to move.

This Howling Land, wedged between the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and the Desert Alliance, often caused chaos without fear of repercussion, even destroying entire villages and cities, accumulating much blood debt. Now that they had a chance to wipe them out, the troops’ morale soared.

“Let’s keep going.”

Feeling the surge of morale, Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction and pressed forward once more.

After walking for a short while, the previously desolate landscape transformed, revealing numerous broken walls full of cracks.

Under the enveloping black fog, the roadside ruins took on a gray, bleak color, weathered and ancient. In the distance, there were even masses of gravestones lined up, instilling a sense of awe.

Leo Ray focused his gaze, noticing that although these ruins were ancient, they seemed to be from a different era than the relics left from the Era of Blankness.

“Your Majesty of the Humans, over two thousand years ago, this Howling Land was home to a third-class forces alliance, lush and green. But one day, it inexplicably became territory for the witch demons, eventually becoming the barren wasteland it is now.”

Sina, flying near Leo Ray, explained: “These are the ruins left from that time, and the inhabitants became the main force of the undead army.”

“So, this land has such a history.”

Leo Ray frowned slightly, looking again at the densely packed gravestones in the distance.

It seemed that after the witch demons took over, the remaining forces did not surrender but fought to the very end.

The result was evident: on this land where the strong devoured the weak, the weak were doomed to destruction.

Just as Leo Ray thought of this, a vague, massive shadow suddenly appeared ahead, and upon closer inspection, it was a huge, bone-white fortress exuding thick death energy.

“Your Majesty of the Humans, that is the witch demons’ Skeleton Fortress.”

Loris’s solemn voice sounded, explaining: “The Howling Land is filled with such bone-structured cities, guarded by large undead armies, extremely difficult to deal with.”

After Loris spoke, his expression became even more serious.

Back then, though he led them to demolish several skeleton fortresses consecutively, they ultimately had to retreat due to depleted energy, as the bone-white fortresses still loomed ahead.

And now, those destroyed fortresses had been rebuilt, which inevitably instilled a sense of awe in him.

“Our forces are limited; dismantling one after another is too time-consuming and highly impractical.”

Without hesitation, Leo Ray nodded to the people around him, saying: “Capture the ringleader first; bypass the fortresses along the way and head straight for the enemy’s heartland.”

Upon hearing Leo Ray’s command, the strong champions agreed and quickly bypassed the giant bone-white fortress.

Continuing their rapid advance, they discovered more ruins and graveyards along the way, and bypassed more skeleton fortresses, while the black fog grew thicker in the air.

However, nobody noticed that soon after bypassing the first skeleton fortress, a massive confinement barrier quietly formed, enveloping the entire Howling Land within it.

As they moved away, the undead armies from the bypassed skeleton fortresses stealthily streamed out, slowly encircling and following their steps forward.
