Chapter 734: Chapter 489: Climbing the Fortress Wall_1

The crisp voice of Serena Clark came through the mind talk connection, “Reporting to you, my Lord, the enemy has begun assembling their troops and preparing to march!”

“Very good, continue monitoring them.”

After closing the mind talk connection, Leo Ray sat up in bed and noticed the moonlight outside the window.

At this time, the sky was filled with shining stars, and two crescent moons, one large and one small, hung high in the sky.

On the bright moon, a faint hint of crimson could be seen, seemingly foreshadowing an imminent great battle.

Seeing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly and thought in his heart, “Since there’s still time, I might as well cultivate first. After all, I’ve already absorbed most of the medicine’s power yesterday.”

Making up his mind, Leo Ray moved his thoughts and a rounded Rose Gathering Energy Pill appeared in his palm.

Without hesitation, he swallowed it directly.

As time passed, when Leo Ray opened his eyes again,

Compared to before, the aura emanating from him had clearly increased a notch.

“My Magic Energy Vortex has reached Tier 3 Eight-Star? This undoubtedly means that I’m only one step away from becoming a Dual Tier 3 Peak Powerhouse!”

Nodding in satisfaction, Leo Ray got out of bed and started to wash up.

It didn’t take long for him to get dressed, and after collecting the Earth Guardians who were patrolling the room, he walked out of the door.

“Greetings, my Lord!”

Waiting at the door, Taylor, Red-Night, Gideon Black, Scarlett, and Linda all bowed respectfully as Leo Ray appeared.

“No need for formalities.”

With a slight smile, Leo Ray noticed that everyone’s faces were painted with an excited look, clearly ready for battle.

“Let’s go inside first.”

After a little pondering, Leo Ray nodded slightly and walked back into the room.

After a short while, when all of his subordinates were standing in the room, Leo Ray first motioned for Taylor to seal the room with his aura, and then continued, “Everyone, we will soon face a fierce battle.”

Nodding to his subordinates, Leo Ray continued, “Although this battle has no direct connection to our territory, if we let the Saint Night Army march directly in, it will undoubtedly disrupt our plan to control the entire Coldflame Eastern Region.”

“Yes, my Lord is right. This border area shares a large part of the Coldflame Eastern Region, and compared to the small part on the south, the Eastern Region is vast and rich, making it an ideal choice as the primary target for attack.”

Taylor, who had already become familiar with the geography of the Coldflame Kingdom, bowed slightly to Leo Ray and said, “Therefore, stopping the Saint Night Army here is in our best interest.”

“Senior Taylor is right; as such, the retreating Saint Night Army will once again be in a stalemate with the Coldflame Army and continue the confrontation at the border area.”

Meanwhile, Gideon Black adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and continued, “In this case, we can proceed with our plans without any worries. And of course, if the situation changes, we can do as Lord Leo Ray said and balance the power of both sides once more.”

“Moreover, if we achieve a great victory in this battle, Princess Ariel’s prestige will naturally be raised, which is also a good thing for us.”

Linda, dressed as a knight, also spoke up.

“Indeed, as long as we demonstrate our prowess in this battle, not only will Princess Ariel be in awe, but even the formidable Coldflame Royal Army will eventually submit to the brilliant, ice-cold… I mean, wise my Lord Leo Ray!”

Scarlett, with her signature starry eyes, grinned at Leo Ray and said, “Then I can play happily with the princess.””You’re quite the talker.”

After flicking Scarlett’s forehead, Leo Ray resumed his serious expression and said, “In any case, during this battle, we must do our best while ensuring our safety. This is crucial to whether our journey ahead will be smooth and untroubled.”

“Yes, Lord!”

On the other side, the subordinates bowed and spoke together.

“Alright, let me repeat the specifics of our battle strategy one more time…”

Thus, after Leo Ray had made all the arrangements,

A polite knock sounded at the door.

Signaling Red Night, who was closest to him, to open it, Lord White and Princess Ariel appeared before Leo Ray.

“Your Excellency, the Saint Night Army has begun advancing, and we should make our final preparations for battle,”

Speaking with an aged voice, Lord White solemnly said, “Please follow me, Your Excellency.”

Upon hearing his words, Ariel, who was standing beside him, also nodded gravely at Leo Ray.

“Let’s go.”

Having seen this, Leo Ray nodded slightly and, with his subordinates surrounding him, left the room again.

Next, under the accompaniment of Lord White and Ariel, Leo Ray strode forward toward the grand front city wall of the fortress, bathed in the silver moonlight.

As they passed by Urne City, Leo Ray learned that,

A highly effective Concealment Magic Barrier had been set up here, allowing the soldiers hiding in ambush to remain unseen by enemies entering the city.

Moreover, the place was also equipped with a Buffer Defense Barrier, capable of withstanding the counterattack of enemies below the city.

Meanwhile, in the vast square of Urne City, numerous mages with magic wands were conducting their final inspections with great tension.

According to Lord White’s introduction, the place was riddled with magic traps, enough to send the first wave of the Saint Night Legion into the sky.

“It seems that everything is progressing methodically.”

Arching an eyebrow slightly, Leo Ray continued to move forward.

Upon reaching the spacious city wall, Leo Ray noticed that,

The soldiers busily carrying supplies back and forth were divided into two camps.

Among them, a small portion of soldiers wore a faintly glowing blue armband on their left arm.

Seeing this, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.

According to the intel acquired by Gideon Black, these soldiers were disguised as August’s Rebel Army to confuse the enemy.

Of course, the real rebels had already been captured.

“Your Excellency, you may begin deploying the Magic Cannon.”

Just as Leo Ray was thinking, Lord White’s voice resounded again, “Your Excellency, please look.”

Facing the direction Lord White pointed to, Leo Ray observed that,

Accompanied by a faint rumbling sound, the flat city wall surface in front of them began to quickly sink in large segments.
