Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong
Chapter 1498 - Chapter 1498 Chapter 871 Reversal in the Square_2

Chapter 1498: Chapter 871: Reversal in the Square_2 Chapter 1498: Chapter 871: Reversal in the Square_2 Ariel Watson hesitated for a moment before saying solemnly, “Only with the people can there be a kingdom, and the ruler is merely the protector of the people. This is something that none of you will ever understand!”

“Hehe, we don’t need to stand in the sunlight; we just need to turn everything into eternal night.”

With a disdainful sneer, the No. 3 Black-robed Person scoffed, “I’m not here to reason with you dying folks. Before your impending demise, why don’t you watch your loyal soldiers succumb to death on the battlefield.”

As soon as the black-robed person finished speaking, the enemy soldiers who had completed the formation in the square were divided into two groups, each displaying murderous intent and charged at our defensive line of badly injured recruits.

From the number of soldiers, the enemy’s forces have reached the size of an army corps.

On the other hand, our veteran commanders were desperately trying to hold the line.

However, as a consequence of the corroded corpses scattered everywhere and the bodies riddled with arrows, the recruits from the two army corps were utterly disorganized, with many even fleeing in panic.

Seeing this, the smile hidden behind the mask of the No. 3 Black-robed Person became even more pronounced.

The army corps that had emerged from underground were made up of meticulously selected elite soldiers, with a massive force of three divisions of Tier 2 elite soldiers, their strength nearly matching that of the royal army corps.

In contrast, the opposing force was nothing more than a group of free farmers armed with weapons, capable of being completely annihilated in the blink of an eye.

“Using mere recruits to fight against my elite army corps is simply laughable. This encirclement has turned into your own tombs!”

As the enemy troops charged towards the recruits, the No. 3 Black-robed Person guffawed arrogantly, “Lord of Cyan City, witness your failure and foolishness with your own eyes!”

“Don’t think that you can succeed easily.”

Leo Ray’s expression remained calm, without a hint of panic.

Although the current situation seemed to lean entirely in favor of the No. 3 Black-robed Person’s side,

it did not mean that Leo Ray had no other plans– at least, he would not let the elite enemy forces gushing from underground break through the encirclement easily.

At the same time, Leo Ray clearly understood,

that the only thing he could do was to delay the No. 3 Black-robed Person in front of him, just as he had done when faced with the Nightmare Knight.

Only by extending the passage of time could he find new variables and possibilities for survival.

This has always been his strategy.

“From the beginning, as an otherworldly lord who descended suddenly, I’ve relied on the precious time I’ve fought for, inch by inch, to survive in this unfamiliar world.”

“This is my way of survival in this strange world.”

Leo Ray’s gaze began to grow more resolute.

Ultimately, in his previous life, he was nothing more than a nameless individual.

Since he had come to this world for some inexplicable reason, his goal was simple.

That would be to fight for survival with all his strength and uncover the truth of this world.

After all, facing the imminent catastrophe and the all-out war between future lords across different continents,

if he resigned himself to his fate, even if he survived only for a moment, he would be dead beyond doubt when the final transformation came.

With the aid of Golden Finger, as long as he had the potential to control his own destiny, he would devote himself entirely to the fight for survival.

“In summary, what I can do now is to delay the No. 3 Black-robed Person and slow down the attack of the enemy elite soldiers as much as possible, thereby seizing some variable in the time gained.”

With this thought, Leo Ray coldly snorted and said indifferently, “If you think your soldiers can defeat my recruits, you’re mistaken.”

“Lord of Cyan City, it seems you have started spouting nonsense.”

With a mocking smile, the No. 3 Black-robed Person apparently didn’t take Leo Ray’s words seriously and coldly said, “No one can stop my elite army!”

As the voice of the No. 3 Black-robed Person trailed away, the opposing forces split into two, charging towards our chaotic line, almost within reach of the encirclement.

“You wretched creatures who dare to challenge the authority of us traditional nobility– Die!”

A Tier 4 traditional noble commander led the charge, leaping high into the air and slamming into our ranks with a sinister grin, like a cannonball.The other fully armed enemy soldiers also had fierce expressions on their faces, wielding their sharp weapons and rushing towards the new recruits.

It was outrageous for these lowly Free Farmer new recruits to dare to try and besiege them, experienced veterans of countless battles!

However, what happened next was absolutely unexpected.

After the enemy soldiers charged into our camp like a tidal wave, there was no intense melee, nor were there any scenes of our soldiers being killed.

Instead, there was a sudden eerie silence. All the enemy soldiers stumbled forward a few steps, then abruptly stopped in their tracks.

That was because they were astonished to find that their supposed “prey” in front of them could not be hit at all. The soldiers became more and more illusory, like reflections in the water, even the corpses on the ground were the same!

“An illusion?!”

No. 3 Black robe man was taken aback for a moment before immediately realizing what was happening. He hurriedly shouted, “Retreat, it’s a trap!”

Hearing No.3 Black-robed Person’s shout, the Tier 4 Traditional Noble commander at the forefront, also reacted extremely quickly, immediately attempting to organize a retreat.

However, before the order could be fully given, a scorching wave of air sent him flying.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The deafening sound of explosions echoed throughout the area.

Instantly, a series of deadly, scorching waves swept through the unprepared enemy camp.

Due to the sudden nature of the explosions, many enemy soldiers who were still filled with killing intent a moment ago,

had no time to understand what was happening, and they perished in the sea of flames, leaving behind nothing but their blood-curdling screams.

Furthermore, with the overconfident enemy pressing forward, their formation was thrown into disarray, and they began to scatter in panic.

At the same time, the sound of bowstrings reverberated, and a dense torrent of arrows rained down from the sky.

Located in the last row of the illusory soldiers, our untouched new recruit archers began to fire in an orderly fashion from behind the infantry’s shield wall.

Sharp magic arrows pierced through armor, sending the enemy soldiers into disarray, and extending invitations from the Grim Reaper.

For a moment, the hunters became the hunted as enemies fell like wheat before a scythe, instantly reversing the situation.

Seeing this, the corner of Leo Ray’s mouth curled up slightly.

From the very beginning of the event, the heavily damaged new recruits had all been illusions created by Little Illusion.

As a creation of the Divine Stone and with Elusa’s Four Sides Besieged skill,

it was easy for Little Illusion to do all of this, even simulating the tragic scenes of the soldiers falling in battle.

Meanwhile, the real soldiers were all positioned in the back row, completely unaffected by the enemy’s attacks.

Little Illusion’s mastery of illusion magic was enough to deceive even Tier 5 Powerhouses.

With Leo Ray positioning the real soldiers behind the illusory ones, creating a mix of falsehood and reality, it was no wonder that even the Tier 5 Eight Stars No. 3 Black-robed Person couldn’t discern the truth.

Furthermore, from the very beginning, the enemy, confident in their victory, didn’t take the new recruit army seriously at all.

As for the source of the explosions, they were the result of magic scroll traps that Leo Ray had had Jasper Richardson and other magic-related subordinates set up in advance.

Using a large number of magic scrolls as a base, aided by simple trigger magic arrays, they could be detonated at will.

“This was supposed to be a backup plan, but it ended up playing such a significant role. Otherwise, both new recruit armies would have been annihilated by now,”

Leo Ray watched as another hidden new recruit army entered the battlefield and took a deep breath.

“Even though I managed to block this elite army’s breakout, the imminent threat is still not eliminated.”

As Leo Ray thought of this, a fierce murderous intent suddenly enveloped him – it was the No.3 Black-robed Person, who was already close at hand.
