Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2607: 1436: Listening and Debating
Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
Observing the friction between the two factions as the atmosphere grew heavy once more, Leo Ray maintained his composure, silently monitoring the confrontation.
Just as old Susan had pointed out, he had detected an inconsistency regarding the Desert Alliance from the very start: their vice leader was nowhere to be found.
According to the intelligence gathered and shared by Administrator K, the second-in-command of the Desert Alliance hails from the Moon Demon Wolf Clan.
This particular lineage possesses the combined traits of the Snow Wolf Clan and the Moon Wolf Tribe. They are capable of shifting between human and lupine forms at will and can draw strength from moonlight without losing their sanity to bloodlust.
“Regardless of the form they take, members of the Moon Demon Wolf Clan are always exceptionally sturdy and tall, standing out in any crowd. Because of this, the absence of such a prominent figure from the Desert Alliance was immediately obvious to me.”
“Furthermore, reports suggest that this vice leader is a frequent patron of the Shadow Market. He never misses an event hosted by Administrator K, even if it requires traveling massive distances during periods of intense regional conflict.”
“Given that the Desert Alliance is not currently engaged in any active wars, the vice leader's disappearance is highly suspicious, potentially aligning with old Susan’s theories.”
Leo Ray pondered these thoughts while continuing to observe the heated debate between the two parties.
“Heh, why don't you explain to us why your loud-mouthed vice leader skipped the gathering this time?”
Old Susan stood with her arms crossed, her narrowed, aging eyes locked onto Sina’s pale face, searching for the slightest hint of a lie in her expression.
At this moment, the elites of both the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and the Desert Alliance understood one thing clearly: based on the Human Emperor's tone, he would not stop until the culprit was identified.
Once the Human Emperor declared war on the mastermind, the faction that remained uninvolved would not only receive a Tier 6 Divine Weapon but would also sit back and watch their rival fall, becoming the ultimate winner.
Consequently, every powerful individual present was desperately trying to expose the other side's flaws to help us identify the true perpetrator.
Leo Ray had anticipated this exact scenario, which is why he had brought both groups together and moved his pieces so directly.
“This is an internal affair of the Desert Alliance. How dare an old hag like you stick your nose into our business?”
Sina’s expression turned grim, and her snake-like hair began to writhe as if caught in a phantom wind, signaling her mounting fury.
“Heh, Desert Leader, we are merely discussing the facts; resorting to personal insults seems rather unrefined, doesn't it?”
Loris let out a mocking sneer, his lion-like features twisted in a smirk: “Is your anger perhaps a sign of a guilty conscience?”
“The identity of the mastermind is still unproven, Rainforest Leader. If your hands are truly clean, then why have you been moving your troops in the shadows?”
Regaining her composure, Sina spoke with a steadier voice: “I have received verified reports. The moment you received the invitation, you covertly stationed thirty of your most elite Tier 4 Legions near Chirping Valley. What is your goal?”
“If your only intent was to visit the Secret Realm Market, there would be no reason to mobilize such a massive force, would there?”
Sina’s voice rose as she interrogated him: “Isn't it obvious? You wanted to hide from His Majesty’s detection because you are the one behind the Forest-side Fortress incident, and you are preparing for the fallout!”
“This…”
Loris was momentarily stunned by the accusation, but Thomas quickly stepped in, addressing Leo Ray: “Your Majesty, we confess that we have gathered forces nearby, but it was done with no ill intent. It was purely a defensive measure.”
“On the contrary, the Desert Leader refuses to explain where their vice leader is and instead tries to shift the blame onto us. This is a transparent attempt to hide their own guilt.”
Thomas continued calmly: “We hope Your Majesty can see through these lies so the real culprit does not escape justice!”
“Your Majesty, there is indeed a reason for the absence of our vice leader, but I assure you it has nothing to do with the attack on your troops. This matter is extremely sensitive, and we cannot reveal the details publicly. We ask for Your Majesty’s patience.”
Sina bowed her head toward Leo Ray, adding: “However, the fact that the Rainforest Fortress Alliance is hiding an army nearby proves they have a hidden agenda. Your Majesty must stay alert; the Desert Alliance is ready to help you find the true enemy!”
“Help His Majesty find the mastermind? It sounds more like a thief shouting 'stop thief' to distract the crowd!”
From the other side of the table, Loris laughed coldly and snapped back: “Using such underhanded tricks to try and drive a wedge between the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and His Majesty is exactly the kind of cowardice I expected from you.”
Loris then turned to Leo Ray with a firm nod: “Your Majesty, the truth is plain to see. The Rainforest Fortress Alliance is ready to join forces with you to wipe out this deceitful lot once and for all!”
“Your Majesty, do not listen to the Rainforest Fortress Alliance. They act like they are noble, but they are masters of manipulation!”
The Masked Man couldn't stay silent any longer: “Their secret mobilization of troops makes their wolfish ambition impossible to ignore!”
