Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2778: 1524: The Lord's Composure

“Your Majesty, envoys from both the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and the Desert Alliance arrived nearly at the same time, each issuing an invitation for you to visit them right away, claiming vital issues need addressing. The liaison officer’s tone carried such pressing concern that it appears highly critical.”
Within the expansive, brightly illuminated Command Hall of Ice Stone City, Elder Bing saluted by pressing a hand to his chest while delivering the update to Leo Ray.
“Is that so? It looks like leaders Loris and Sina have come across fresh intelligence.”
Leo Ray reflected briefly before acknowledging Elder Bing with a nod and responding, “Elder, given that invitations have come from both sides concurrently, why not have them come to us instead? Ice Stone City is a place they already know well.”
“Your will is my command, Your Majesty.”
Elder Bing pivoted on his heel and proceeded to carry out the directive.
Moments later, by the gates of Ice Stone City, Leo Ray encountered the Rainforest Fortress contingent first, headed by Loris.
Solemnity and unease flickered across the lion-resembling features of the rainforest chief. Spotting Leo Ray, after brief salutations, the domain of Ice Stone City once more manifested within the Desert Alliance’s domain.
As the portal swung open anew, Sina’s delegation entered too, their expressions grave and strides quickened.
“What brings you here as well?”
Catching sight of one another, Loris’s and Sina’s groups inevitably creased their foreheads a bit.
Although Leo Ray’s intervention had softened the once fiery antagonism between these two stubborn alliances, full mutual confidence clearly remained elusive.
“I’m the one who called both leaders to this place.”
Advancing with a grin and a nod toward the assembly, Leo Ray declared: “Against the relentless witch demon and the demon, we placed our trust in one another’s support, and events showed we’re dependable, courageous allies. This solidarity allowed us to ultimately shift the battle’s momentum in our favor, right?”
Summoning the pair together was, of course, Leo Ray’s strategy to further alleviate their mutual strains.
Leo Ray knew well that the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and Desert Alliance both stood at the pinnacle among third-class powers.
To advance beyond that, he required not just bringing them into his fold but also ensuring they allied seamlessly.
“If it’s Your Majesty’s decision, I hold no reservations.”
Loris voiced his compliance promptly upon hearing Leo Ray.
“I follow Your Majesty’s lead.”
Sina’s furrowed brows eased, and she ceased clashing with Loris’s followers.
Through a chain of incidents, attitudes of rainforest head Loris and desert head Sina toward Leo Ray had flipped entirely—from early apathy or scorn to near-total deference.
In truth, Leo Ray hadn’t only rescued them, safeguarding their positions and alliances, but also vanquished the demon single-handedly—a feat beyond their wildest capabilities or dreams.
“Excellent, we’ll converse as we proceed.”
With Leo Ray’s words concluding, a flick of Jasmine’s Magic Wand transported the company to the Command Hall’s doorway in the heart of the city.
“Truthfully, leaders, your dispatches reached me in quick succession, suggesting a link, so I gathered you both.”
Crossing into the Command Hall, Leo Ray gestured with a nod for all to claim seats at the arranged meeting table.
Now, Loris and Sina alike adopted a heavy, anxious air, burdened by worries. They assented to Leo Ray’s explanation.
Seated all around, Leo Ray skipped preliminaries and addressed Loris initially: “Leader of the Rainforest, you may begin.”
“Your Majesty, I’ll be direct.”
Loris adjusted the dense mane encircling his neck and launched into his concern foremost.
“Candidly, Your Majesty, word has just arrived that the Half-Titan Clan neighboring the Rainforest Fortress Alliance has covertly shifted three elite Tier 5 Legions plus a million Tier 4 troops to their frontier. Such a move is unprecedented!”
Loris’s revelation prompted furrowed brows among all attendees, instantly thickening the room’s tension.
The Half-Titans Loris referenced form a mighty empire and a true second-tier force, boasting depths far surpassing third-class entities.
True to their title, Half-Titans carry partial Titan Clan lineage, blended reportedly with human ancestry, akin fundamentally to Half-Elves.
Undeniably, though, Half-Titans have almost fully absorbed the Titan Clan’s might. They master war axes and colossal blades, towering beyond five meters, rendering them colossal warriors.
Possessing such might, paired with mobilizing three Tier 5 Legions, overrunning all third-class powers wouldn’t prove unattainable.
Consider that one Tier 5 Legion alone could overpower a hundred Tier 3 Legions or match more than 20 half-step Tier 7 powerhouses, underscoring its dominance—let alone the accompanying million Tier 4 soldiers.
Sensing the stifling mood within the chamber, a trace of gravity even touched Jasmine’s ashen features, signaling that this posed, for Leo Ray, a profoundly challenging and potentially fatal threat.
