Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2627: 1446: Rout and Penetration (Part 2)
Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
The enemy's meticulously organized troops within the stronghold were soon thrown into utter turmoil by the bombardment, filled with nonstop cries of agony and foul language.
“Worthy of the Emperor of the Human Race!”
As the human clan's warriors displayed their prowess once more, the catman troops' spirits lifted dramatically, allowing them to smash past the foes' initial barrier and seize total dominance both within and beyond the walls.
Following this breakthrough, the catman fighters charged along the steps and routes flanking the battlements, pressing their relentless attack deeper into the heart of the bastion.
In a flash, our forces gained an overwhelming surge, sending the opposing warriors scrambling in terror and sparking widespread disorder throughout the fortress.
“Your Majesty of the Humans, let the Grand Elder and Second Elder handle this area! I'll guide the top warriors alongside you straight to the Coronation Ground!”
Lannis' talons flashed with icy menace, tearing through a hidden witch demon, then he inclined his head toward Leo Ray nearby, declaring, “Fear not, Your Imperial Majesty—we'll battle until our last breath at your side!”
“I leave this in your hands then, Lord Clan Leader!”
Leo Ray swung his longsword, its purple glow throbbing, which sliced clean through a cluster of undead mages trying to unleash bone blasts, shattering their wands in the process, before he soared toward the lakeside gateway alongside Lannis and the rest.
While hurtling forward swiftly, Leo Ray cast a glance at the mighty catmen encircling him, a touch of resignation crossing his features.
At this moment, truly no additional mighty comrades trailed him; Taylor, Jasper Richardson, and Louise remained occupied with their level-ups, whereas Crisis and her group firmly guarded the pair of friendly strongholds.
Gray Elder and Yonir had headed to the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, leaving Elder Bing as the sole companion fighter, whom Leo Ray had stationed at Ice Stone City with Frost to swiftly rebuild the protective shield.
Shortly thereafter, amid the chaos of close-quarters brawling on the field, Leo Ray and his band of catman powerhouses reached the spot Emily had described.
“Shifting this enormous boulder, which can withstand Tier 6 strikes, will expose the hidden doorway below.”
Leo Ray turned over his hand, unveiling a Summon Scroll for a Tier 6 stone giant.
Just as Leo Ray prepared to trigger the scroll, a figure long in hiding erupted with a surging aura from behind the boulder, lunging for a surprise strike at Leo Ray's rear!
The assailant turned out to be the snake demon commander.
“Emperor of the Humans, die!”
The Medusa commander parted her crimson jaws, morphing into a colossal serpent, poised to swallow Leo Ray whole in a single gulp.
At the same time, the witch demon specialist grinned darkly from concealment, hurling forth endless bone chains to briefly separate Leo Ray and Lannis.
“Your Imperial Majesty, be careful!”
Witnessing the foe poised to strike Leo Ray and unable to intervene promptly, Lannis' expression twisted with alarm as he shouted the warning.
“Haha, too late!”
The Medusa's aura swelled fiercely, her haughty, shrill cackle resounding across the realm.
The instant after, the mocking laugh cut off sharply, supplanted by the solid impact of a body slamming down.
As the Medusa commander neared Leo Ray, an unseen power abruptly slammed her into the earth, kicking up a plume of dirt.
The bulky serpentine body writhed wildly on the spot but failed to advance even slightly.
“Gravity Suppression? So there's a mighty supporter right by Your Imperial Majesty's side!”
Lannis' gaze sparkled with insight, spotting a lithe form beside Leo Ray, the origin of the Gravity Magic.
Without question, this was Little Jie, who had deployed the binding field. As Leo Ray's personal stone spirit, Little Jie had forged a seamless synergy in combat with him.
“How dare you try to sneak up on Lord!”
With a flick of Little Jie's slim hand, a barrage of magic projectiles erupted like an avalanche, pulverizing the adversary on impact.
Since Leo Ray's ascent to Tier 6, Little Jie—who wasn't naturally offensive—had grown far more adaptable, now able to match ordinary Tier 6 powerhouses.
Concurrently, a swift shadow materialized silently behind the witch demon specialist, her slim blade weaving a web of silvery trails that reduced the foe to scattered fragments.
It went without saying that this was Leo Ray's other stone spirit, Xiao Jing.
“Such ruthless strikes—these two hostile Tier 6 powerhouses didn't even get a moment to fight back.”
This display deepened the awe in Lannis and the fellow catman elites as they looked upon Leo Ray.
The Emperor of the Humans wasn't just extraordinarily strong on his own; he commanded two awesome aides as well, explaining his boldness in infiltrating their core alone.
Furthermore, the Emperor of the Humans' effortless use of multiple Tier 6 Magic Scrolls rendered him nearly impossible to halt.
This discovery filled Lannis and his comrades with fresh optimism amid their astonishment.
At first, confronting the mysteries of the enemy's Coronation Ground, they had braced for a suicidal venture. Yet now, beholding Leo Ray's capabilities anew sparked their spirits into flame!
“Now I grasp why the dwarf elves and various Outer Region powers revere Your Majesty of the Humans so deeply.”
Lannis stared at Leo Ray's retreating form, pondering silently, “Evidently, Emily's assessment was spot on.”
Meanwhile, Leo Ray directed the invoked stone giant to shift the stone, uncovering a vertical tunnel leading below.
“Everyone, press on.”
Wasting no time, Leo Ray—ignoring the hulking stone giant's inability to follow—spearheaded the descent with his two stone spirits plunging into the depths, as Lannis and the catman elites trailed closely behind.
As they raced further below, the clamor of fighting above receded, drawing Leo Ray's attention.
The tunnel proved quite confined, lined with pale, rocky hard formations that emitted a soft glow, sleek but rugged, as if carved by nature itself.
Still, this lay in the barren desert's core, where reports suggested layers of sand averaged over a hundred meters deep, meaning the upper levels ought to be buried in dunes—this oddity baffled him.
But with the pressing circumstances, Leo Ray prioritized scanning for magical snares over pondering the strangeness.
“From Emily's intel, just a handful of Medusas knew about this hidden path, Sina and Belinda among them.”
“Thus, it's no shock they'd set guards here, yet judging by things now, beyond the outer barriers, no signs of magical pitfalls appear.”
“Evidently, they never expected Emily to slip their trap; even the latest fortress was a hasty build, so this fits.”
“That means, until we storm the enemy's Crowning Place, our path ahead stays clear.”
True to Leo Ray's musings, navigating the following passages went without a hitch, free of obstacles, until they stepped into a sprawling cavern.
This chamber echoed the prior white rigid build, its built-in light eliminating any call for illumination spells—like stepping into a ghostly pale void.
Although this uncanny setting piqued the curiosity of Leo Ray's team, it sparked no easing of vigilance; their steps grew more deliberate.
This was the Medusas' Crowning Place, their sacred Holy Land, steeped in quiet.
Facing their love for cunning plots, surely a trap awaited here.
Yet as Leo Ray and his allies advanced warily, the view that unfolded next stunned them all.
