Chapter 1904: Chapter 575: The Battle Begins (Thanks to Alliance Leader ’The Night of Maoni’)_2

The rumbling of the earthquake grew louder, even causing stones to fall haphazardly from the rock wall in the command center.

"Everyone, prepare for battle!"

"Alright!"

No one hesitated; they responded in unison and swiftly scattered in different directions.

In the blink of an eye, only Leonard Churchill and Camilla remained at the large round table.

The two nodded to each other, each preparing to leave.

At this moment, Camilla seemed to recall something and suddenly asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Being the direct disciple of Augustus, she knew more than others.

She knew Leonard saw things that others could not.

Leonard said calmly, "I think, if this is my last dance on stage, then what should I perform for this world..."

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, yet there was no sign of a smile.

"..."

Camilla listened to these words and looked at Leonard’s face, which carried a playful smirk, as if gazing directly at the demon JOKER.

After pondering for a moment, she suddenly proposed something that seemed completely out of place in this tense atmosphere: "Then... I’ll dance with you."

Her tone was as calm as ever.

Leonard rose and adjusted the creases in his suit, bowing with gentlemanly grace as he extended his hand, smiling as he invited, "May I have the honor of a dance with the beautiful Empress Camilla?"

"Alright."

Camilla gladly accepted and placed her hand in his.

Leonard snapped his fingers, and lively dance music echoed through the expansive command center.

It was the first time they danced together, and initially, they were not perfectly synchronized, but they soon adjusted.

Leonard held Camilla’s slender waist, his gaze openly containing an aggressive tease.

Camilla’s aloof face showed no change in expression.

As the earthquake became more violent, their dance steps grew livelier.

"This poker round is ’the enemy at the gates.’ If possible, I’ll end this battle with ’king to king.’

"Arthur advanced to the Ninth Tier."

"Hmm. I’ve already sensed it."

"..."

Leonard knew that everyone else could back down, but Camilla could not.

As King Augustus, there must be an outcome.

She was prepared; between her and King Arthur, only one could survive.

The same was true for the Orlan Royal Court; anyone could be let go, except this contender for kingship, who must die.

This seemingly aloof yet kind-hearted girl was never good at expressing herself with words. Inviting a dance was probably her way of saying a final farewell.

She couldn’t guarantee her survival to the end of this war.

Leonard understood and thus did not persuade her. He looked at her coldly beautiful face, the corners of his mouth curling into a slight smile.

It was as if he understood something from this silent farewell.

The girl remained reserved and subtle, but Leonard did not.

He danced with Camilla’s slender waist, suddenly stopping.

His large hands smoothly slid down from her waist, resting unabashedly on her firm, rounded bottom; the pose had become quite intimate.

Though they normally didn’t avoid almost anything and had physical contact before, those were just accidents. This time, however, was different.

"..."

Camilla raised her brow, glancing at him with slightly furrowed brows.

This subtle change in expression didn’t seem to indicate displeasure, just a lack of adaptation.

But soon she relaxed, seeming to accept it.

Seeing this, Leonard bared his white teeth, smiling brightly, "Take good care of yourself."

Camilla listened, thought for a moment, and responded with an "Hmm."

The earthquake was growing more severe, and the dance music was disrupted by the rapid enemy attack alerts coming from the communicator, making it impossible to continue dancing.

Just at that moment, a Spirit Communication array suddenly appeared in the air, and a mysterious figure, cloaked in the High Priest’s mantle, stepped out.

It was none other than Tracy Garcia, who had spent a long time in the Underworld.

This bun-haired Miss accidentally walked into the scene of them embracing in dance but didn’t feel any embarrassment at all. Her bright eyes sparkled with mischievous light as she said, "Ah... Did I come back at a bad time?"

Camilla’s expression remained unchanged.

It wasn’t feigned indifference; it was just that the three of them had lived in a tent together for quite a long time before. She’d seen Leonard and Tracy’s various intimate actions many times, so this was nothing.

Leonard didn’t feel anything either, laughing as he patted the bun-haired Miss on the head, "Just in time."

Tracy watched their expressions and simply smiled with crescent eyes, her attention quickly drawn by the earthquake, "It’s a good thing I got back in time. I just received a message from the Spirit Communication Beast, saying the enemy’s launching a full-scale attack?"

"Hmm."

Leonard saw Tracy return and felt the alliance had gained some extra chances of victory.

He didn’t ask what Tracy had done in the Underworld, just inquired, "Was it smooth?"

"Hmm."

Tracy nodded, looking at Leonard with her clear eyes, seemingly filled with many things to say yet unable to elaborate.

Leonard glimpsed at the suddenly disconnected phenomenon device, knowing the battle outside must be intense, and for the first time, revealed his plan: "I plan to find the altars of the Outer Gods... I’ll leave this to you two."

Though there were said to be three Outer Gods, it was actually the Moon God Arachne who took the lead.

Leonard had been dealing with the Silver Moon Sect for too long, fully understanding the various procedures of their Silver Moon Sacrifice Ceremony.

Since Orlan’s side had sacrificed millions of living creatures before, the accumulated supernal spirit mediums must need an altar to sustain divine power. Rather than confronting the Outer Gods directly, it was more practical to sneak in and disrupt their base.

However, someone had to keep the Orlan Royal Court’s masters in check for his plan to succeed.

And with Tracy the High Priest back, they finally had a top-level expert who could indeed hold the line.

As soon as Leonard said this, both Tracy and Camilla immediately understood.
