Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong
Chapter 1701 - Chapter 1701 Chapter 974 The Increasingly Intense

Chapter 1701: Chapter 974: The Increasingly Intense Battlefield_2 Chapter 1701: Chapter 974: The Increasingly Intense Battlefield_2 Seeing Andy already weary from coping, Deputy Yorkman fought more vigorously as the battle went on and soon had Andy, who was nearly exhausted, utterly unable to fight back and began to fall back step by step.

Just when Andy was almost unable to parry, a piercing scream came from Vice General Lancaster, who was struck precisely in the chest with a sharp crossbow bolt and twistedly fell down.

The person who made the move was none other than Serena Clark, draped in an Invisibility Cloak.

At the beginning of this breakout battle, Leo Ray had dispatched high-speed warriors adept at close combat like Leah, Gideon Black, Serena Clark, Stella Clark, and Bianca White to covertly protect our generals’ safety while also taking the opportunity to assassinate the opposing commanders, resulting in the scene just witnessed.

Leo Ray understood clearly that each of these commanders breaking out was extremely important to the entire battle and naturally could not be easily lost.

At the same time, one important reason why Leo Ray only deployed his Tier 4 main force warriors to the battlefield will be temporarily left unsaid.

“Being able to shoot through the heart from among so many guards is clearly not something any ordinary strong warrior could accomplish. Does this mean it’s Mr. Lane’s assistance once again?”

Noticing the fall of Vice General Lancaster and having his life picked back up, Andy’s morale surged, and with the deterrence of Serena Clark, the tide of battle instantly took a turn.

In the battlefield strewn with fire and corpses, just as Andy’s battle axe roared through the air, about to strike down Deputy Yorkman, who seemed like a nervous wreck,

A commanding and mysterious figure suddenly appeared behind Andy, wielding a lethal wide-blade sword, which aimed a backstab at him.

Under the reflection of the firelight, the mysterious figure’s majestic presence gradually became clearer.

Clad entirely in black, with a tall and well-proportioned figure, he appeared to possess martial prowess.

Strangely, the firelight that illuminated the mysterious figure’s black face did not reveal any features, just an ambiguous human facial contour, resembling an uncarved and unpainted figure model, which was extremely odd on the bloody battlefield.

Needless to say, this was one of the unknown number of Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets from the Fourth Prince, identical to what Leo Ray had seen before.

Because of the sudden attack from the Tier 5 Alchemy Puppet, Andy had no time to react and could only watch helplessly as the unstoppable blade swung towards him.

In the split second of this lethal moment, another more robust figure descended from the sky, wielding a giant sword, and deftly blocked the opponent’s powerful sword that could split mountains and rocks.

The newcomer was Taylor.

“I’ll handle this guy, go elsewhere.”

Taylor’s rugged face was filled with indifference as he nodded slightly to Andy, then turned into a shadow with his sword and engaged the Tier 5 Alchemy Puppet in battle.

Accompanied by the fierce clashing of swords wrapped in boundless energy, a series of earth-shattering booms sprang forth from the intense battlefield.

The sword aura spread throughout, and wherever it reached, buildings, tiles, or soldiers in combat were instantly shattered to pieces, presenting a tremendously shocking momentum.

Due to the sudden clash of two Tier 5 powerhouses, the battlefield, already permeated with the smell of blood, seemed to experience a sudden gust of wind, intensifying even further. This was the overwhelming upheaval witnessed by Leo Ray.

“So, the opponents couldn’t hold back anymore and have first sent in their top-tier warriors to the battlefield?”

Leo Ray looked at the large cleared area in the center of the battlefield, nodding slightly, and that was right where Taylor was fighting the Tier 5 Alchemy Puppet.

At this point, the other significant reason why Leo Ray initially only deployed Tier 4 main force warriors became very apparent.

That was to draw out the snake, attracting the opponents to deploy their top-tier warriors first and then counter as needed, so as not to put his own Tier 5 powerhouses in a passive position from the very beginning.

“Of course, attracting the opponents to first deploy their top echelon isn’t just for this reason.”

Leo Ray’s eyes narrowed slightly as he continued to watch the increasingly stormy battlefield.

It didn’t take long before the prompting voice of Mind Talk rang out, followed by Jasper Richardson’s deliberately hushed voice, which soon came through, “Your Excellency, your subordinate has successfully located the hiding place of the Fourth Prince!”

“Very well, if the opportunity arises, do not hesitate to kill him directly!”

Upon hearing Jasper’s report, Leo Ray’s eyes gleamed, commanding without hesitation.

This was precisely the key reason Leo Ray had lured the enemy into committing their top forces–using the movement trajectory of the enemy’s Alchemy Puppets to trace back and find the exact location of the Fourth Prince.

Leo Ray understood clearly that, after successive setbacks, the formidable Fourth Prince would not be likely to sit still within the Secret Command Center, but would certainly come to the battlefield, and dispatching Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets was the best proof of that.

Thus, if he could successfully kill the Fourth Prince, who was the top commanding figure, then the control of the war would completely fall into his own hands.

In addition, the Fourth Prince had in his possession an unknown number of Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets, simply for this reason, he was decidedly the top target for our side.

“With the Magic Portrait provided by Ariel Watson, locating the Fourth Prince himself is not difficult, but he is surely surrounded by an Absolute Defense Barrier and many top experts for protection–that is precisely the most difficult aspect of assassinating him.”

Leo Ray had just thought this when Jasper Richardson’s somewhat troubled crisp voice quickly came through again.

“Lord, the Fourth Prince is currently on the lookout deck at the top floor of a Magic Tower that uses Illusion Technique for interference. The protection surrounding him is indeed heavy, and he is guarded by an Absolute Defense Barrier. Moreover, just of those Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets, your subordinate has detected two, and it is currently very difficult to find an opportunity to act.”

After listening to Jasper’s report, Leo Ray’s expression grew solemn, and he nodded pensively, “So with that Tier 5 Necromancer who has just joined the battlefield, acting extremely cautiously, are you telling me that there are at least four Tier 5 Powerhouse forces in the enemy’s camp?”

Leo Ray’s eyes became serious as he slowly inhaled a breath filled with the scent of blood and char.

Within Kyle Castle City, only Jasper Richardson, Taylor, and – had remained with him, while the White Knight was outside the city responding to reinforcements from Ferro Castle.

This undoubtedly meant that, just by looking at the current situation, his side’s top combat power had already fallen behind.

“It seems my judgment to catch the leader first was indeed correct, but based on the current situation, it is evident that Jasper Richardson alone clearly cannot manage it.”

“And by my side, I am only left with – as the Tier 5 Powerhouse. What action should I take to draw the snake out of its hole?”

While Leo Ray mused, he ordered the Half-elf Ancestor who was covertly observing the Fourth Prince and his people, “Jasper, for now just continue to secretly monitor the opposition.”

After closing off the Mind Talk, Leo Ray couldn’t help but frown tightly.

It was conceivable that since he was aware the opposing top forces outnumbered his own, the enemy was most certainly aware of this point too.

In such circumstances, if the enemy’s top forces were to come out in full force, then our side would undoubtedly be immediately pushed into a passive position, and it would be challenging to find a chance to turn the tables.

Just as Leo Ray was frowning in thought, Lina’s tense voice immediately followed, “Your Excellency, that mysterious Tier 5 Necromancer is rapidly heading towards the Outer City battlefield!”

“Has he really come?”

Upon hearing Lina’s report, Leo Ray’s brows tightened even further.

Not long after dealing with the Dimensional Storm, Lina, who had been outside the city, had successfully cast a special tracking spell unique to Controllers of Beasts, pinpointing the position of the mysterious Necromancer.

She knew that after the remains of the Siren King were breached, he had been hiding quietly within the Inner City without making a move.

Now, with his renewed action, it undeniably signified that the Fourth Prince was truly ready to commit more top combat power to the battlefield, which would render our side even more passive, making it even harder to find that chance to catch the leader first.

Just as Leo Ray thought this, an unexpected change suddenly occurred.

Another Tier 5 Alchemy Puppet, which had been hidden for some time, had quietly appeared behind Leo Ray and slowly raised the sharp blade in its hands.
