Chapter 1818: Chapter 1032: The Lord’s Planning_2 Chapter 1818: Chapter 1032: The Lord’s Planning_2 “However, these upgrades have been enormously helpful, and under my Golden Finger upgrade, they’ll certainly reach an unparalleled level in history.”

“Moreover, as the saying goes, what goes around comes around. If we can withstand this Battle of Annihilation, the Coldflame Royal Family will surely rise to its peak because of me.”

Leo Ray was thinking this as he began the upgrade process.

As for the direction of the upgrades, it naturally all involved quantitative change.

[Congratulations, your ‘Tier 5 Magic Scroll: Pope’s Blessing’ has been upgraded to ‘Tier 5 Magic Scroll: Pope’s Blessing’ with 112 pieces!]
[Congratulations, your ‘Tier 5 Magic Scroll: Undying Flame’ has been upgraded to ‘Tier 5 Magic Scroll: Undying Flame’ with 109 pieces!]
[Congratulations, your ‘Tier 5 Magic Scroll: Supreme Elemental Defense Barrier’ has been upgraded to ‘Tier 5 Magic Scroll: Supreme Elemental Defense Barrier’ with 111 pieces!]
[Congratulations, your ‘Tier 5 Magic Scroll: Absolute Elemental Defense Barrier’ has been upgraded to ‘Tier 5 Magic Scroll: Absolute Elemental Defense Barrier’ with 113 pieces!]
[Congratulations, your ‘Tier 5 Magic Scroll: Meteor Fire Rain’ has been upgraded to ‘Tier 6 Magic Scroll: Meteor Judgment’!]
[Congratulations, your ‘Tier 5 Magic Scroll: Meteor Fire Rain’ has been upgraded to ‘Tier 5 Magic Scroll: Meteor Fire Rain’ with 108 pieces!]
…

“Besides one attack magic scroll being upgraded to Tier 6, the rest have all successfully undergone quantitative change, haven’t they?”

Leo Ray listened to a series of familiar prompting voices, his heart once again filled with elation.

More than 100 Tier 5 attack magic scrolls, and they are the ones with the widest coverage of area attacks.

If released simultaneously in areas where enemy troops are concentrated, even if the enemy has a mobile absolute defense barrier, it will still undoubtedly inflict massive casualties.

Destroying a dozen legions, or even twenty legions instantly, is not at all impossible!

Of course, that’s based on the assumption that the enemy does not have any corresponding countermeasures, such as the Energy Dispersing Array that greatly diluted magical attacks last time.

“Regardless, this is still an extremely impressive trump card!”

Leo Ray nodded with satisfaction and continued upgrading the other Tier 4 magic scrolls.

After another round of bulk upgrades, the number of magic scrolls Leo Ray had stockpiled also swelled to a whole new level.

“Not just attack magic scrolls, I can now also mass-equip Tier 4 and above defensive and supportive magic scrolls to key commanders and subordinates.”

Having checked everything, Leo Ray patted off the dust on his hands with content.

With an excited mood, Leo Ray finished upgrading and restocking all the items in the first Treasure Vault.

Then he continued with Ariel Watson to upgrade the court’s other subordinate treasure vaults and the Equipment Storage.

By the time Leo Ray and Ariel Watson returned to Lion Castle, it was close to midnight.

“With this, following the Three Great Aristocratic Families, including the six main royal legions stationed in the Royal Capital and the Imperial Guard Legion guarding the court, a total of 20 royal legions including those in nearby subordinate cities will also reach the top standard of all members equipped with Tier 3 Equipment and issued with Tier 3 and below Healing Magic Potions and Magic Scrolls!”

Leo Ray and Ariel Watson murmured as they walked down the ancient castle corridor, nodding thoughtfully.

Now only the soldiers in the Northern Territory, Dragon’s Lair City, and the Eastern Region were left to be fully re-equipped.

However, with my current stockpile of equipment, it’s undoubtedly more than sufficient to bring all three regions up to the top standards of the Three Great Aristocratic Families and the Royal Family.

“Now is a critical moment of survival, so naturally there’s no need to hide anything anymore.”

“Let’s hurry up and completely re-equip these three regions tomorrow, as this is an important guarantee against the invading enemies.”

Having made up his mind, Leo Ray began to think about the current military deployment in the Coldflame Kingdom.

In the area of the Unfallen Fortress of the Northern Territory, there are six legions of Caroline, 20 Northern Legions, 15 legions of the Moon Chaser Clan, and over 40 legions stationed at ‘Crystal Blue City’ and ‘Ice Stone City’.

In the Eastern Mountain Fortress area, there are a total of Lord White’s Fortress Legion, 5 mercenary legions from Roscoe, 20 legions of surrendered troops and newly reorganized legions, with more than 25 legions stationed there.

In the area of Dragonfall City in the east, there are 4 newly supplemented Goblin Legions from Roscoe, 1 new legion from Dragonfall City, and 10 legions of surrendered troops and newly reorganized legions, with 15 legions stationed there.

In the area of Sunset Fortress in the west, there are 20 legions of the Lancaster Family from Isaac stationed there.

In the area of Rainforest Fortress in the south, there are 20 legions from Kelson of the Yorkman Family stationed there.

Besides, Leo Ray still has 20 Royal Army Legions, 15 Commercial Land Legions, and 10 directly subordinate legions located in the central region, which can be mobilized at any time.

“Thinking about it, the 35 legions that I can still dispatch should also gradually be sent to the front line.”

“Otherwise, even with the acceleration from the Wind and Speed Pills, it’s very likely we won’t be able to keep up with the opponent’s pace of advance.”

“After all, following the end of the internal strife, the loss of horses within Coldflame Territory was severe; it’s utterly impossible to enlist a large number of horses to assist in marching like the enemy.”

“As for the specific destination, there’s no need to consider the Northern Territory, as for the Eastern Region’s Mountain Fortress, if we can fill the gap of Illusion Technique experts, we can naturally exclude that too.”

“That leaves Dragonfall City, Sunset Fortress, and Rainforest Fortress as the three options.”

Leo Ray thought so, his expression growing more somber.

According to his own expectations, the optimal movement plan would naturally be to deploy all 35 legions in one direction and then engage in a decisive battle with the opponent in that direction.

As for the other four directions, the goal is to delay as much as possible to win the opportunity for the direction where the decisive battle will take place.

However, looking at the current situation, only the Northern Territory might be able to achieve the goal of stalling the opponent with the blessing of the two Lands of Divine Favor.

The Eastern Region, although scheduled to intercept with Illusion Matrices, currently doesn’t even have the start of a plan.

As for the other two directions, there is even less of an idea at the moment.

But what’s certain is that, aside from the Northern Territory, with the current military strength, our defense in any of the directions does not have the capability to stop the opponent’s large army.

What’s more certain is that, since the surrounding Five Kingdoms have completely torn off all pretenses and are intending to wage The Battle of Annihilation, miracles of convincing the enemy to retreat with just a few words are naturally impossible.

With this in mind, Leo Ray couldn’t help but curl his lips, feeling a sense of being out of his depth.

Although he controls a grand army of over 1.5 million, which seems vast in number, unfortunately due to the geographically peculiar position of the Coldflame Kingdom, once it’s dispersed, it’s almost insignificant.

“Let it be, I’ll wait until after tomorrow’s discussions with the leaders of the small and medium neutral powers before making a decision; there may still be other breakthroughs to find.”

“From the descriptions provided by Ariel Watson, I already know that all the headquarters of the small and medium neutral organizations I will be speaking with tomorrow are located in this Royal Capital or its surrounding cities, and those who will be coming are all the top leaders of their respective organizations; hopefully, there will be some gains.”

Just as Leo Ray was thinking of this, he already stepped into the Queen’s bedroom with Ariel Watson.

After returning to the spacious room, Leo Ray did not immediately proceed to wash up.

Instead, he pondered for a moment and deployed two tasks to his subordinates.

First, was to find Illusion Technique experts as planned, to fill the gap of 30 Tier 4 Illusion Technique experts,
Second, was to further verify and summarize the resource reserves from various places.

During this time, he had been busy with the preparations for Ariel Watson’s crowning ceremony and the defense of various fortresses, thus neglecting the development of the Territory itself.

Now that he had taken control over the entire Coldflame Kingdom, it was time to integrate resources and upgrade the focus of the Territory’s buildings, which is undoubtedly a key to directly enhancing strength.

Having arranged everything, Leo Ray finally began to wash up.

“Oh, right, concerning the Miracle Building within the court, the Lion King Temple’s specific functions have not yet been explored; I’ll study it with Ariel Watson when there’s time.”

As Leo Ray was thinking this, he lay down on the comfortable bed.
