Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong
Chapter 1704 - Chapter 1704 Chapter 976 The Sudden Lethal Threat_2

Chapter 1704: Chapter 976: The Sudden Lethal Threat_2 Chapter 1704: Chapter 976: The Sudden Lethal Threat_2 Duke Stone’s murky gray pupils shifted as he smiled grimly and said, “As long as we increase the Fifth Order combat power on the battlefield, the despicable scum from the Otherworld will have no choice but to commit an equivalent force to respond, leaving themselves vulnerable. It will be the perfect opportunity for us to assassinate that despicable Otherworldly trash!”

“Yet that despicable Otherworldly trash is quite slippery, constantly deploying false illusions to confuse us. Catching him will not be an easy task.”

Duke Kent, still with arms crossed, furrowed his brows and addressed the Fourth Prince, “Your Highness, your subject believes that this will only waste our side’s combat power and will not be effective. Perhaps this is just a ploy by the enemy to disperse our forces.”

“Duke Kent is quite right,” said Duke Kent, “that despicable Otherworldly trash is continuously deploying illusions indeed in an attempt to disperse our forces. That is exactly why we must continue to press forward on two fronts, striving to eliminate him in one fell swoop.”

Duke Stone, stroking his salt-and-pepper beard in an unruffled manner, said with a sinister smile, “As long as the assassin Puppets dispatched by Your Highness keep missing and striking at the enemy’s illusions, they, believing their tactics are successful, will inevitably lower their guard. This will further increase our chances of beheading that despicable Otherworldly scum.”

“The premise is that our side must be able to accurately locate the latest position of that despicable Otherworldly trash.”

Duke Kent’s fierce eyebrows twisted as he countered, “And yet we can only track slowly based on limited energy traces, which will certainly not keep up with the enemy’s pace.”

“Hehe, Duke Kent is right in saying that,” said Duke Stone, still wearing a calm demeanor, with a sly smile, “but Your Excellency seems to have overlooked a crucial point.”

“Duke Stone is not letting on any haste, and with a sneer, he said, “Don’t forget, old man here has a mysterious ace up his sleeve that has already played a significant role once.”

“Are you referring to that Tier 5 Necromancer who has been lying low all this time?”

Duke Kent immediately caught on, his face brightening with understanding.

“Indeed, the Necromancer who came to reinforce us has already reached the Outer City and has started tracking that despicable scum of the Otherworld.”

Duke Stone stroked his salt-and-pepper beard and nodded, “This mysterious ally does not track targets by the limited energy residue but uses a special method that allows for real-time positioning; once successful, they will instantly launch a deadly attack.”

At this point, Duke Stone’s old face twisted with sinister killing intent, and he said grimly, “In other words, this time, that despicable Otherworldly scum is doomed to die!”

“Ha ha ha, Mr. Stone’s strategy aligns with my thoughts exactly,” the young yet grim-faced Fourth Prince said with murderous intent. “That despicable Otherworldly trash thinks he can disperse this prince’s top combat power, not realizing he’s placed the blade upon his own neck!”

The Fourth Prince sneered as he continued, “Tell that Necromancer that as long as he can kill that despicable Otherworldly scum, this prince will ensure he becomes a hereditary and unreplaceable Coldflame noble, forever enjoying glory and riches!”

“Hey hey, rest assured, Your Highness, this time that despicable Otherworldly scum is definitely going to die.”

As soon as Duke Stone finished speaking, both he and the Fourth Prince exchanged a look and laughed, their laughter filled with killing intent, echoing throughout the airtight conference room without a sound escaping.

…

On the stormy breakout battlefield, fires and smoke were still wreaking havoc everywhere.

After the full resistance of the Lancaster and Yorkman Clan legions, our five already exhausted breakout legions’ offensive had completely stalled.

Facing the elite Mages of the Lancaster Legions and the elite Infantry of the Yorkman Clan, our casualties had even surpassed the enemy’s.

After all, one specializes in long-range attacks while the other in close combat- when combined, they displayed an even more formidable and surprising combat power.

On the other hand, the battle between Taylor and the Tier 5 Alchemy Puppet was growing more intense. It was evident from the fierce and chilling battle situation, gusting with violent winds, that Taylor was clearly taking the upper hand.

However, as the Tier 5 Alchemy Puppet excelled in resilience, it was hard to determine the winner in a short period.

“Lord, the situation on the battlefield is not looking optimistic.”

Ariel Watson, closely monitoring the dynamics of the battlefield, quickly sensed something amiss and said in a low voice, leaning close to Leo Ray’s ear, “Our soldiers are too exhausted; they simply can’t break through the encirclement on their own strength.”

“That’s why I have focused my attention on this particular breakout battlefield.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly and took a deep breath, “Although we have wiped out quite a few of the enemy army through a series of strategies, the initial gap in military strength between us and the enemy was quite substantial, resulting in a considerable part of the enemy army not being as exhausted as we are.”

“But, just as I have said earlier,” he continued, “the situation on the battlefield changes in an instant. With the enemy’s top combat power surpassing ours, forcefully breaking through is no longer realistic. Therefore, we just need to hold out until reinforcements arrive and break the Absolute Defense Barrier.”

Leo Ray gave Ariel Watson a faint smile, reassuring her, “When that time comes, everything will be resolved.”

“I hope so, but I always feel that the enemy must be plotting something…”

Ariel Watson took a deep breath of the air filled with the scent of blood and burning, but before she could finish speaking, she noticed that aside from Taylor, two more overwhelming battles had started on the vast battlefield, stirring up waves of vast auras.

“Lord, as expected, they’ve thrown two more Tier 5 Alchemy Puppets into the battlefield!”

Ariel’s starry eyes widened as she watched the intense battles that instantly ignited on the battlefield and continued speaking into Leo Ray’s ear, “And Jasper Richardson and Red Night have also taken their positions, clashing with the enemy!”

“It’s as expected.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, his eyes narrowing to closely monitor the situation on the battlefield.

“But this means, Lord, that there is no longer a Tier 5 Powerhouse guarding you.”

Ariel Watson turned her gaze back to Leo Ray’s broad chest, her starry eyes filled with irrepressible worry.

“It’s okay, regardless of whether the enemy can locate our whereabouts, I am not completely unprepared.”

Leo Ray smiled at Ariel Watson, gently reassuring her.

Leo Ray knew that currently, aside from Ariel Watson, by his side were Linda, Little Illusion, and the Shanglu Elders, coupled with his many cards up his sleeve and Star Protection, he would be able to escape the assault of the Tier 5 Puppets.

As for the mysterious Tier 5 Necromancer outside the city, Lina had been closely monitoring, so they were well-prepared.

Then, as if realizing something, Leo Ray urgently said to Ariel Watson, “No matter what, to be safe, don’t come near me for now. If something happens to both of us, then everything will truly be beyond salvage.”

“But, Lord…”

Ariel Watson wanted to say more but, seeing the firm resolve in Leo Ray’s eyes, she obediently nodded and moved to stand with the Shanglu Elders and Linda, who were gathering the latest intelligence.

“Reporting to the Lord, the vanguard troops departing from Ferro Castle will arrive in five minutes. The other follow-up troops will also reach within half an hour!”

Before long, Asher Porter’s voice, brimming with the will to fight, was heard by Leo Ray, “Apologies, Lord, for the delay in leading the troops here!”

“Ferro Castle is several days away by carriage; you’ve been exceptionally quick.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, smiling at Asher Porter, “The White Knight will meet you outside the city, then wait for my command.”

“At your command, Lord!”

Asher Porter’s crisp response quickly came through.

“Has it finally come? If all goes well, this battle will soon be settled.”

Closing the mind talk, Leo Ray felt a surge of elation.

An abrupt, unfamiliar figure had already appeared before Leo Ray, speaking in a hoarse voice, “So it is you, the recently famous Princess’s Guest Official from another world? Apologies, but to repay a favor to Duke Stone, I must take your life.”

As the figure finished speaking, numerous sharp bone spears took shape around Leo Ray and then shot towards him all at once.
