Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 1837: Chapter 1041: The Lord’s Plan and The Old Blacksmith’s Involvement

Hearing the sound, Leo Ray did not hesitate and immediately connected the mind talk feature.

“My Lord, your subordinate has acquired the latest intelligence from the Outer Region!”

Only to hear Sean’s respectful yet urgent voice coming through to Leo Ray’s ear: “Ten Half-Orc tribes have united, totaling an army of over 900,000, and they are currently rushing towards Dragon’s Lair!”

“Is that so?”

Listening to the tremble in Sean’s voice, Leo Ray’s eyes narrowed slightly, his expression unruffled.

The terrain of the Outer Region is rugged and complex, and the vast wetlands where the Half-Orcs predominantly reside are shrouded in fog and miasma all year round. Therefore, Leo Ray had dispatched Sean and other Pterosaur riders to closely scout the enemy’s movements from the air.

“Sean, how long before they reach us?”

Leo Ray’s words were gentle, both soothing Sean and inquiring at the same time.

“My Lord, based on their current marching speed, they should arrive at Dragon’s Lair within approximately 3 days!”

Hearing Leo Ray’s steady voice calmed Sean significantly as he responded solemnly.

“Very good, continue close surveillance and report back to me immediately with any developments.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly and closed the mind talk.

The incoming Half-Orc Army was within Leo Ray’s expectation.

However, hearing the specific number of the enemy forces still caused Leo Ray’s forehead to break out in cold sweat.

This undoubtedly meant that the grand army approaching from five directions had reached a total scale of 5.5 million.

Even if these were all the weakest Tier 1 soldiers, this would be equivalent to 550 Tier 5 Powerhouses or 55 Tier 6 Experts.

“Indeed, this is a tremendous number beyond previous imagination.”

Leo Ray smiled helplessly and began to think hard.

Currently, Dragon’s Lair only had a defense force of 150,000. Aside from a relatively elite Goblin Legion, the rest were all new soldiers or mixed legions of new and veteran soldiers, their combat power even less than that of ordinary regular corps.

In other words, in the face of the 900,000 fully armed Half-Orc army, once the resources for the Magic Cannons were exhausted, Dragon’s Lair would likely be destroyed in an instant.

After all, to a certain extent, the Half-Orc Shamans, with their exceedingly corrosive nature, were even more fearsome than the average Human Clan mages, not to mention the Giant Siege Engines equipped with Corrosive Projectiles.

“Once I stabilize the nations of the Human Clan, the first step out of the Outer Region will be to thoroughly exterminate these Half-Orcs who relish in chaos.”

While thinking so, Leo Ray steeled his concentration and began contemplating possible defense strategies.

Apart from the Goblins, he did not have other forces in the Outer Region.

Around Dragon’s Lair, there were no other troops to mobilize besides two even weaker Lord Legions.

After all, except for the various border fortresses, the garrisons of the cities were mostly newly recruited soldiers, who hadn’t even touched weapons before.

“Even so, the newly formed newbie legions from all places are still converging towards the nearest border fortresses. It is expected that in three days, an additional 200,000 to 300,000 troops can be gathered for me.”

“Yet these newbie legions, unable to even maintain basic formations, apart from managing logistics and acting as reserves, have very limited effectiveness on the front lines. But something is still better than nothing.”

Leo Ray looked up at the starry sky thoughtfully and nodded.

Furthermore, the largest military fortress closest to Dragon’s Lair was this very Territory of his, with only three battalions’ worth of troops.

Aside from the Mage Squad assigned to power the Absolute Defense Barrier, seven or eight elite Third-order Squadrons could still be dispatched to Dragon’s Lair for battle.

“But in front of an army of 900,000, this still seems somewhat insignificant.”

Leo Ray frowned slightly, then turned to overview the whole situation.

If the pressure from the other directions could be further alleviated, more troops might be dispatched to hold Dragon’s Lair.

“The forces of Unfallen Fortress cannot be moved for the time being, otherwise it would be difficult to resist the grand army of the Pars Empire. Without a completed Illusion Matrix, the troops of Mountain Fortress cannot leave easily either.”

“Not to mention Sunset Fortress and Rainforest Fortress, they are not only too distant, but also currently overwhelmed.”

Thinking of this, Leo Ray’s eyebrows were almost twisted into knots.

It was no wonder, after all, out of the six nations of the Human Clan, five had already declared enmity with Coldflame Kingdom, undoubtedly making us the target for all.

“Don’t panic, if I can be reborn from the ashes this time, I won’t let go of the power centers of these kingdoms.”

Leo Ray’s gaze became somber, then suddenly brightened again.

“The only nation of the Human Clan that hasn’t attacked me yet is the Ironhand Archipelago, which has been isolated from the world for a century.”

“According to the latest intelligence I control, although it has been cut off from the world recently, its military power has never diminished and it possesses a huge fleet and airship force.”

“In the recent conferences, I and my ministers and subordinates have carefully discussed the feasibility of requesting Ironhand Archipelago’s aid.”

“However, since the Black Duke that I killed came from Ironhand Archipelago, although not necessarily by the orders of the rulers of Ironhand Archipelago, it is still uncertain whether they harbor hostility towards me.”

“Furthermore, since ancient times, Coldflame Kingdom has had little profound interaction with Ironhand Archipelago, and since Ironhand Archipelago has already withdrawn its diplomats from the Human various countries a century ago, there is simply no way to contact the royal family there.”
