Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

This is also why, upon learning of the existence of the ancient mine, those Outer Region forces on our side rushed recklessly to compete for it, because rare ore veins are incredibly scarce in the peripheral areas of the Outer Region.

From this, it is not difficult to see that even if some second-tier power tried to take control of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance or the Desert Alliance, it would surely suffer great losses with little to gain, thus they would not easily advance militarily.

Because once they are greatly weakened, they will become targets for other second-tier powers, and the outcome would be obvious.

However, in the end, this is not absolute.

Otherwise, alliances like the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and the Desert Alliance, which are third-class forces, would never have formed. Only by doing so can they instill apprehension in the second-tier forces to maintain a delicate balance.

"And in the current situation, it is very likely that some second-tier force is attempting to break this balance, hence they have chosen to stand behind the Witch Demon."

Thinking of this, Leo Ray furrowed his brow tightly and once again inquired: "Rainforest Leader, which second-tier force do you think would possibly make a move against us?"

"Not to hide anything from Your Majesty of the Humans, this is indeed the question I've been contemplating. There are no less than five second-tier forces bordering us and the Desert Alliance, and they've all been involved in more or less intense battles, making it very difficult to judge."

Loris pondered for a moment, then helplessly shook his head and said, "Moreover, according to the latest intel I have, these neighboring second-tier forces have all been experiencing unrest, with constant disputes among them, and have amassed troops along each other's borders. Logically, they shouldn't and wouldn't have spare capacity to ally with the Witch Demons, otherwise, I would not have moved the main force here."

"This is indeed extremely strange. If it's not these forces, who on earth is standing behind the Witch Demon?"

Leo Ray furrowed his brow even deeper, gently stroking his chin.

The reason he wanted to uncover this was undoubtedly to prepare for the imminent fierce battle with the Witch Demon.

After all, the Land of Howling, where the Witch Demon resides, is commonly shrouded in forbidden miasma that only Tier 5 and above powerhouses can enter, whereas the Witch Demon itself and its Undead Army won't be affected at all.

This means that once our main force and elite forces come out in full strength, if the forces behind the Witch Demon take the opportunity to invade, the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and the Desert Alliance will undoubtedly find it hard to defend.

By then, we will surely be trapped in a dilemma, and morale will be greatly affected, potentially resulting in a crushing defeat.

Therefore, only by identifying the opposing force's identity and then conducting targeted defenses can we be well-prepared and take preventative measures.

After all, the border between the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and the Desert Alliance is extremely long, stretching almost across the entire continent.

Even though both possess relatively complete Teleportation Gate networks, quickly transporting a Grand Army to another location is not something that can be accomplished swiftly.

And if the opposition were to first sabotage the Teleportation Gates, the situation would worsen significantly.

"Luckily, I still have Ice Stone City to facilitate instant transport, and in the worst case, the Administrators can risk deploying the troops, so there are contingency plans in place."

Leo Ray had just thought this when Loris's firm voice followed, "Your Majesty of the Humans, even knowing that there's backing behind the Witch Demon, the Rainforest Fortress Alliance won't hesitate for a moment. They will make sure they pay the proper price!"

"Great minds think alike, if we don't eliminate them, today's events are bound to continue. So action is of the essence."

Leo Ray nodded slightly, then said seriously, "Then there's no time to waste, I will also immediately gather all Tier 5 and above resources, we'll meet in the Land of Howling shortly."

"I've been waiting for you to say this, Your Majesty!"

Loris let out a few wild laughs, then bid farewell to Leo Ray, flew towards the territory of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, and quickly disappeared beyond the horizon.

This time, Loris was evidently extremely cautious, as the surrounding areas were filled with elite soldiers of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, making it impossible for the Witch Demon to repeat its previous tricks.

After that, according to the pre-arranged plan, Leo Ray also gathered most of his Tier 5 powerhouses, leaving only some Commanders to guard, and after reorganizing a million Human Clan troops, he also left all Tier 4 Legions in Ice Stone City, as a precaution.

During this process, Leo Ray took some time to use the [Contract Purple Crystal] to bind Fanny, who entirely swore allegiance to him, along with the Flower Fairies.

Once everything was swiftly deployed, just before heading to the Land of Howling, Leo Ray, standing at the Ice Stone City Gate, still frowned slightly.

Currently, besides the forces hidden in the shadows, there are two other matters that cannot be ignored.

Firstly, although the crisis has been temporarily lifted and the Witch Demon, the mastermind, has been exposed, Dana, Davis, and others are still missing.

Additionally, since the Witch Demon has already been defeated by us, if they become enraged, they might very well take it out on Dana and the others.

Secondly, naturally, there is Frank who hasn't returned yet, Frank possesses a special skill against the Witch Demon, and if he joins, we will certainly be significantly strengthened.

"Well, eliminating the Witch Demon is the priority right now, these matters will have to be put on hold for now."

As Leo Ray thought of this, just as he was about to turn and enter the gate of Ice Stone City, Fanny reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, I just received news that the Flower Fairy scouts dispersed in the surrounding forests discovered a brown-robed powerhouse who claims to be Frank!"

"Oh? Bring him over quickly!"

Leo Ray's eyes lit up as he spoke instinctively.

Not long after, an elderly man in a brown magic robe appeared before Leo Ray, who went forward to welcome him with Grey Elder, Yonir, Lina, and others.

"Your Majesty, it's indeed Frank, the old rascal!"

Grey Elder first greeted Leo Ray with a chest salute and then quickly introduced to the counterpart, "Old friend, this is the emperor we mentioned before!"

"Old I pay respects to Your Majesty!"

A loud voice rang out as the brown-robed old man knelt on one knee to Leo Ray, saying, "I've long heard that Your Majesty has led the Human Clan to unprecedented heights, achieving what countless monarchs have dreamed of. It is my great fortune to witness it today!"

From the aged yet resonant voice, it was clear that the man was in a state of great excitement and elation.

"Please rise, if it weren't for your intervention, the Wailing Fortress would have faced a bloody battle."

Leo Ray lowered himself to help the man up, responding with a smile.

The man had a rosy complexion, with noticeably fewer wrinkles than Grey Elder and Yonir, looking full of vigor and embodying an air of resolve.

Moreover, the aura of this former Dragon-slaying Hero was evidently much more robust, enough to rival Jess, and he likely reached the level of Tier 6 Five Stars.

"Your Majesty, what you're saying, I am but a member of the Human Clan, though I've traveled the Outer Region for a long time, I've never forgotten the mountains and rivers of the Human Domain. This is all for granted."

Within Frank's aged eyes was an unmistakable touch of unrestrainable reverence as he nodded heavily: "To see the transformation of the Human Clan, with a Monarch as strong and wise as Your Majesty leading the way, fills my heart with unparalleled joy and honor."

"You flatter me, sir. I just do what I must, not treading the path alone."

Leo Ray looked at Grey Elder and his subordinates beside him, maintaining a smile, "I've heard your renowned name for a long time, to witness you today is truly both a surprise and a delight."

Having said this, Leo Ray's expression grew solemn once again, continuing, "Sir, it is imperative to eliminate the Witch Demon now; if you don't find it bothersome, let's discuss it further inside."

"You're too kind, Your Majesty. The Witch Demon has plagued this land for too long. I've wanted to take action for a while, but my strength was limited, and now with you leading the Potent Warriors of the Human Clan here, how can I shirk from my duty?"

Frank bowed and then said, "However, before that, there's one more thing I need to report to Your Majesty!"
