Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2566: 1415: Reflection and Deployment

Prior to my departure for the Lord Arena, I secured more than just a few items through a sequence of extensive upgrades.

In addition to five rare opportunities for Tier 6 advancement, over 50 slots for Tier 5 Powerhouses were opened. This allows more than 70 Tier 5 experts to surge from Tier 5 One-Star to Tier 5 Nine-Star, while simultaneously expanding the Human Clan's strength by 20 Tier 3 Legions.

“These gains represent only what was taken from the Dragonborn. Since the Trolls and Minotaurs have also undergone total upgrades, and only the spoils from the Lord Arena remain untouched, I should finish all the processing before making a final tally.”

With that thought, Leo Ray commenced the upgrade process immediately.

A short time later, following a string of system prompts, Leo Ray finished upgrading every single item in his possession.

“Over 60,000 sets of Tier 5 Equipment in total? That is quite respectable. This accounts for the combined gear of both the Minotaurs and Trolls. The intensity of the Lord Arena battles was extreme, after all, leaving the bulk of the equipment heavily compromised.”

“Furthermore, even though no Tier 6 advancement opportunities appeared, the other rewards were substantial. The haul of Magic Medicine and Magical Scrolls, in particular, is nearly double the combined amount from the Dragonborn, Trolls, and Minotaurs.”

Leo Ray gave a slight nod as he began to organize his inventory.

Regarding gear, his stock of Tier 5 equipment now exceeds 250,000 sets, supplemented by more than a hundred sets of Tier 6 Equipment. Meanwhile, his supply of equipment below Tier 4 has reached the millions, which is sufficient to serve as the standard baseline for the Human Clan's forces.

His tactical options have also been bolstered through Magical Scrolls. He now holds over 300 Tier 6 Attack Scrolls, while the combined total of Tier 6 Defense, Healing, and various Enhancement Scrolls has surpassed one thousand.

As for magical scrolls ranked Tier 5 and below, the count starts at tens of thousands. This is more than enough to provide his powerhouses below Tier 5 and his standard generals with a massive edge in combat. Against third-class powers in the Outer Region, they would certainly stand above the rest.

In the category of Magic Medicine, although Tier 6 advancement opportunities didn't increase, the current supply is enough to push over 200 Tier 5 One-Star Powerhouses to Tier 5 Nine-Star. It also allows for the addition of 200 more Tier 5 Powerhouses and enables the Human Clan to field 50 extra Tier 3 Legions and 5 Tier 4 Armies.

The rest of his Magic Medicine inventory has seen a massive surge as well, with over a thousand Tier 6 items alone.

“I have to admit, while permanent enhancement types are quite scarce, this represents a monumental leap in strength for me right now.”

“The addition of 50 Tier 3 Legions and 5 Tier 4 Armies alone is enough for the Human Clan to secure a position in the Outer Region without any outside help! It will finally silence those who once dismissed the Human Clan as mere ants.”

“This has been the aspiration of every Human Clan emperor since the Era of Blankness—to reclaim the prestige the Human Clan held during the Silver Moon Era. I have already forged a very firm path forward for my people.”

Leo Ray could not hide the flicker of joy and excitement that crossed his face as these thoughts surfaced.

With these resources, combined with the seven major allied forces—the Dwarfs, Elves, Treants, Wood Fairies, Flower Fairies, Dragonborn, Trolls, and Minotaurs—he could advance further and with greater stability.

However, Leo Ray’s expression quickly turned grave once more amidst the excitement.

The most vital point was that this increase in power—for himself, the Human Clan, and his subordinate forces—offered a better chance at surviving the chaotic future. This was the driving force behind his constant progress, alongside his quest to uncover the hidden truths of this world.

“That being said, after several life-and-death struggles, everyone from the top powerhouses like Broy to the rank-and-file generals is exhausted. The generals also require time to assimilate their new strength. We should rest and recover for a few days, provided no unexpected crises arise during that time.”

Leo Ray nodded to himself, lost in thought.

Yet, even during a period of recuperation, this vital time could not be squandered.

Setting aside the looming territorial wars and the Great Catastrophe, other Overlord Level Lords would not stop their expansion just because he did. The recent experiences in the Lord Arena had made that very clear to him.

Judging solely by the number of powerhouses, there were already other Lords who stood on equal footing with him.

He had emerged victorious in the Lord Arena where powerhouses fought in duels, but the result might be less certain in a massive field battle involving hundreds of legions.

After all, the effectiveness of the hundreds of Tier 6 Magical Scrolls he won would be diluted if spread across a vast battlefield.

“These are just the standard Overlord Level Lords I've encountered. Those who won their respective Arenas and claimed Secret Treasures as champions likely possess even more terrifying strength.”

“Therefore, even while resting, stopping completely is no different than falling behind.”

Taking a slow, deep breath, Leo Ray began to plan his strategy for the recovery period.

Internally, while the generals focused on rapid Cultivation to increase their power, the integration between the Human Clan and the various Outer Region forces under his command needed to be intensified.

As his rule became more established, it was necessary to foster cooperation not just between the Humans and the Outer Region, but among the different major Outer Region forces themselves.
