Chapter 1825: Chapter 1036: Quiet Changes_2 Chapter 1825: Chapter 1036: Quiet Changes_2 “Land of Divine Favor? The legendary Entry Hall of the Divine Realm? Does it truly exist?!”

Bernie’s aged eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, his voice trembling with excitement.

It is known that discussions about deities have always been the most enduring hot topic within the Human Clan’s archaeological circle, with never-ending debates between those who believe in deities and those who do not.

After all, the term represented a mysterious and transcendent supreme existence, how could it not incite yearning and frenzy among archaeologists?

Seeing the extremely shocked expression on Bernie’s aged face, Elusa smiled silently and just took out a small crystal ball.

This was a rare Record Crystal, similar in wonderful ways to the Illusion Crystal.

Yet, this item was a lower grade, only able to record a short segment of realtime imagery, and when needed, could display it in the form of a 3D projection.

As Elusa infused mana into it, a 3D projection emerged from the surface of the crystal, documenting a corner of the ‘City of Light,’ naturally within the permissions granted by Leo Ray.

“This, this…”

Observing the never-seen-before, yet ethereally beautiful architectural style on the projection, Bernie was so excited that he lost his words.

“Chairman Bernie, I assure you with the dignity and integrity of an archaeologist, that the relics and secret realms explored by His Royal Highness exceed far beyond what you see, even including people and things beyond your imagination. The understanding about the Era of Blankness and deities is well beyond the scope of the Human Clan’s archaeological community.”

As Elusa put away the ancient artifacts of the Winged Race and the Record Crystal, a firm resolve shimmered in her starry eyes as she continued, “Would you really want to stand by and watch these epic discoveries be erased from history under the iron hooves of the invading armies of Five Kingdoms?”

“I, I…”

Bernie clearly hadn’t recovered from the shock, and with Elusa’s questioning, he suddenly became somewhat flustered.

Although his stance wasn’t completely clear yet, his aged eyes clearly showed he was losing his previous stubborn neutrality.

Noticing the mood shift, Leo Ray, who had been keeping an eye on the overall situation, set down his teacup and gently raised an eyebrow.

It seemed that things were going much smoother than expected.

Before even showing his prowess, ‘Jett Knights’ had already pledged their allegiance, and while the ‘Green Adventurers Guild’ hadn’t stated their position, they were very close to doing so.

Seeing Bernie visibly shaken, the remaining Blaze, Dana, and Kara seemed visibly uneasy.

Not because two powers were gradually veering away from their neutral line, but because the Prince in front of them was clearly much more mysterious than they had anticipated.

Perhaps, although the current situation seemed desperate, there might still be a glimmer of hope?

Moreover, from the Prince’s words, if Coldflame Kingdom really overcomes this hardship, they too would surely ascend to great heights.

After all, as an Otherworldly Lord, His Highness’ development pace was nothing short of miraculous, and this was hardly a secret anymore.

If even the Five Kingdoms could not handle Coldflame Kingdom, it would likely be these kingdoms that would face misfortune.

However, looking at the current situation, there seemed to be no hint of a possible victory for Coldflame Kingdom; even if they joined, how much impact could they really make?

“I understand your concerns, but as the saying goes, ‘gather sands into a tower, bits into a fur cloak, small streams into a river.’ Though you all are part of my defense strategy, you are far from being the whole of it.”

Leo Ray gently swayed the teacup in his hand, smiling faintly.

“Your Highness, do you already have a plan to resist the grand armies of the Five Kingdoms?”

Dana of the ‘Mirror Witches’ Association blinked her long eyelashes, inquiring tentatively, “But they come from four directions, like being besieged on all sides.”

“Indeed, a fierce tiger can hardly resist a pack of wolves, and with my current forces, it is indeed impossible to fend off all sides at once, but focusing our forces to strike in one direction is not a problem.”

Leo Ray took a sip of warm tea and stated bluntly, “If we can severely beat and cripple the army from one direction, that can hardly be called being besieged on all sides, then it will be possible to break the other enemies one by one.”

“So, Your Highness, you already have a method to block three and attack one?”

Kara’s lively starry eyes swivelled as she immediately inquired.

“While it’s not perfect by any means, each of you is an indispensable force.”

Leo Ray noncommittally set down his teacup, responding, “This is also precisely why I am seeking your alliance.”

“Forgive my boldness, but each of those four armies nearly has a million troops, easily pushing over a kingdom, and even strong fortresses cannot stop them; how could Your Highness possibly block three forces?”

Dana crossed her arms, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, “Your Highness, isn’t this statement a bit exaggerated?”

“A soldier’s way is one of deception. Since I’ve been able to flatten the lands of the Corrupt Nobles and made the Three Great Aristocratic Families bow in submission, there are certainly some little-known tricks I possess.”

Leo Ray’s aura surged powerfully, causing Dana, who realized her words were too direct, to quickly lower her head.
