Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong - Chapter 2849: 1561: The Sudden Envoy

Capítulo 2849: Chapter 1561: The Sudden Envoy

The night was falling when Leo Ray returned to the Starfall Royal Court with Lila, Kira, and the other Stone Giants. As they arrived at the Gate of the Clan Leader’s Castle, a team of stationed Stone Giant warriors immediately approached them.

“Your Majesty, Clan Leader, the ambassadors from the Throne Corridor have arrived.”

The leading Stone Giant elder placed a hand on his chest in salute, his giant, wrinkled face subtly filled with unease, evidently wary of the Throne Corridor.

“Why have they come at this time?”

Upon hearing this, Lila’s eyebrows knitted together tightly. Her face, which had been brimming with excitement, now tensed up, and Kira and Payton shared the same expression.

Observing the peculiar expressions of Lila and the others, Leo Ray nodded slightly, recalling information about the Throne Corridor.

Based on the information he had, it was said to be a Second-tier Power alliance, aiming to gather strength to confront First-class forces, somewhat similar to the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and the Desert Alliance.

However, unlike the latter two, the connections among the Throne Corridor members weren’t as tight, and were even filled with disagreements.

He didn’t have much other information, but from the reactions of Lila and the other Stone Giants, it was clear they weren’t fond of the Throne Corridor.

“Clan Leader, they did not explain their reasons, only stated they wished to meet the Clan Leader for important matters,”

the stationed Stone Giant elder nodded towards Lila and responded, “I’ve already arranged for them to wait in the Reception Hall.”

“Thank you for your hard work, I will meet them shortly.”

Lila first waved to dismiss the stationed warriors, then turned towards Leo Ray with a face full of apology, smiling awkwardly, “Sorry, Your Majesty, I initially wanted you to taste the Stone Giants’ fine brew, but didn’t expect to get such displeasing news.”

“No worries, there will be other opportunities.”

Leo Ray waved his hand slightly, curiously asking Lila, “It seems you aren’t very fond of the Throne Corridor’s ambassadors.”

“It’s not just that we’re not fond of them; in truth, we detest them!”

Kira chimed in, her eyebrows nearly knitted into a twist, and even Payton’s grey giant face shared the same expression.

“This isn’t the place to talk, don’t forget those ambassadors are still in the Reception Hall; a truly cunning group,”

Lila nodded towards Leo Ray, made a ‘please’ gesture and said, “Please, Your Majesty, follow me.”

Guided by Lila and the others, Leo Ray and his party soon arrived at a concealed chamber within the castle.

Leo Ray had just taken a seat in the chamber, about to inquire about the specifics, when Lila and the others suddenly prostrated at Leo Ray’s feet, exclaiming in unison, “Please, Your Majesty, take charge for us Stone Giants!”

This unexpected scene left not only Leo Ray in shock, but even the accompanying Moli, Fei’er, Elder Bing, and Grey Elder were filled with confusion.

From Lila and the others’ previous words, it was not difficult to discern that the Stone Giants clearly had some friction with the Throne Corridor, but it was unexpected that the tension had reached this extent.

“Please stand up, then we’ll talk.”

Leo Ray bent down to help Lila up, inquiring, “What is this all about? What is the relationship between the Throne Corridor and the Stone Giants?”

“Frankly, Your Majesty, the Stone Giants are technically members of the Throne Corridor.”

Lila seated at the lower position before Leo Ray, her eyebrows lowered as she spoke, “Initially, although the Throne Corridor members weren’t closely connected regularly, whenever a First-class force attempted to extract something from us Second-tier Powers, all members would unite, employing various means to the fullest extent to confront First-class forces—the original purpose of the Throne Corridor, to protect the interests of us Second-tier Powers.”

“At that time, not only us Stone Giants, but even the Half-Titans across were members of the Throne Corridor. Whenever a First-class force attempted to encroach on our territories, we would cease our actions until everything calmed down.”

Lila took a deep breath and continued, “Despite each First-class force possessing the strength to overwhelm both Second-tier and Third-class forces entirely, due to mutual deterrence among themselves, coupled with our relatively barren lands lacking high-quality ore veins and heavenly treasures, our united stand as the Throne Corridor has maintained our independence from First-class rule to a considerable degree.”

“As time passed, the Throne Corridor’s members grew in number, eventually spanning almost the entire Outer Region’s Second-tier Powers. Thus, the cycle continued, and the impact of the Throne Corridor intensified among us, serving a role beyond confronting First-class forces, extending to routine trades, cultural exchanges, magic, martial techniques, and various aspects between us.”

“Ultimately, that’s all there is to it. Normally, most Second-tier Powers disregard the Throne Corridor’s matters, often participating based on mood.”

“As for the Master of the Corridor, it’s merely a dispensable honorary position, rotated among us Second-tier Powers, with everything proceeding smoothly without any mishaps ever occurring.”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray and the others thoughtfully nodded.
