Chapter 1348: Turbulent Winds and Clouds Arise
With that, Leo Ray stood up from his seat, the command stick in his hand gliding over other nearby fortresses, finally landing on the location of the Waterfall Watcher Fortress. He said, "As for what needs to be done, it goes without saying."
"Are we to gather all our main forces at the Waterfall Watcher Fortress?"
Shuert immediately understood and agreed, "Your Majesty of the Humans is right. With the destination of our many opponents clear, this is indeed the most suitable deployment."
Hearing this, Crisis and Broy both nodded in agreement, clearly also in favor of Leo Ray's viewpoint.
"Although deploying troops along such an extensive border is extremely difficult, with the assistance of Ice Stone City, it's naturally a breeze."
Leo Ray smiled faintly, then nodded to everyone and said, "There's no time to lose, let's start immediately."
As Leo Ray's words fell, the massive city standing beside the teleportation station vanished in an instant, as if it had never appeared.
When Ice Stone City re-emerged, it was already in front of a large allied fortress built against a mountain.
This large fortress is quite unique, established at the junction of two high mountains, not only completely covering the pass but also extending the city wall outward, penetrating parts of the mountain, practically merging with the two peaks.
In front of the large fortress lies the bottomless Gleaming Rift, and about 2 kilometers further, one can see a magnificent, slightly glowing giant waterfall cascading down.
The surging, roaring giant waterfall resembles a white ribbon suspended on the wall of the Giant Valley, continuously pouring into the depths of the valley, the sound of the waves endless, looking extremely spectacular.
Such a scene appears even more mysterious and unfathomable under the cold moonlight.
Thus, the name of this large allied fortress becomes apparent—it's the Waterfall Watcher Fortress, which Leo Ray and the others have mentioned several times.
The Waterfall Watcher Fortress currently houses two Tier 3 Dwarf Elf Legions. Under Broy's guidance and introduction, Leo Ray quickly ascended the front city wall of the fortress.
Meanwhile, Ice Stone City is in charge of assembling allied soldiers from other fortresses.
"Is this the Fluorescent Stone Waterfall? Truly awe-inspiring."
At the center of the city wall, while marveling, Leo Ray's expression quickly turned serious again.
On the spacious city wall, imbued with a rich old-time atmosphere, numerous Dwarf Elf soldiers, Alchemy Puppets, and rows of Magic Cannons have already been deployed. Teams of Dwarf Elf craftsmen are busy carrying buckets of magical coatings for repairs, appearing extremely occupied.
After all, this place has been neglected for a long time, and making some repairs in an emergency is certainly better than doing nothing. Reassuringly, the Absolute Defense Barrier of the fortress is still operational, the translucent barrier wall above shimmering with brilliance, giving a sense of being impregnable.
Yet, undeniably, although everything seemed orderly, the city wall was still enveloped in an extremely tense atmosphere, instilling an awe-inspiring feel.
Leo Ray drew his attention away from the city wall and gazed into the distance toward the vastness of the Giant Valley.
Under the deep blue night, everything was draped in a layer of grey-white, appearing mysterious and profound.
Leo Ray understood clearly that although the four major forces on the other side of the Giant Valley were at a distance from this region, the latest intelligence suggested that the fastest advancing Flower Fairy Grand Army and the nearby Troll Grand Army were already very close.
"Your Majesty of the Humans, analyzing the opponent's speed of movement, it seems that within no more than 20 minutes, the Flower Fairy and Troll armies will consecutively arrive."
Broy first rallied the morale of the Dwarf Elf soldiers, then quickly came to Leo Ray's side and said with furrowed brows, "Yet up until now, we still don't know what exactly the opponent intends to do."
"Perhaps it won't be long before the answer reveals itself."
Leo Ray nodded to Broy, then said, "The only thing we can do now is to gather our forces and watch from across the river, trying to understand the purpose of these four-way armies."
"Your Majesty of the Humans is right. At least for now, it seems the flames of war have not yet spread to our territory."
Crisis fluttered transparent wings, hovering beside Leo Ray, "Moreover, from the encounter with the troll scouts earlier, it's at least evident that the trolls and the Dragonborn are definitely not allies, which is a good piece of news for us."
Upon Crisis's words, everyone nodded in thoughtful acknowledgment.
Indeed, as Crisis mentioned, since the troll scouts have appeared in the territory of the Dragonborn, it naturally proves the two are not allies, but that is all.
As for whether there are any other alliances among these four-way armies, it's currently unknown.
"In any case, we should prepare quickly before the enemy arrives."
Leo Ray retracted his gaze from afar, nodding slightly to everyone.
Due to the vast area of the Waterfall Watcher Fortress, and its ample internal space, it didn't take long before, along with the shuttling of Ice Stone City, not only the Dwarf Elves but also the Flower Fairies and Treant soldiers began to settle in one after another, soon intensifying the Absolute Defense Barrier that enveloped the entire fortress.
