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

Chapter 1842: Chapter 1043 venturing deep into the mountain range_2

In no time, the grand door stood firmly in front of Leo Ray and the others.

“Lord, let your subordinate dispel the hidden illusion inside the door.”

Little Illusion took off from Leo Ray’s shoulder and rolled up their sleeves.

“Just a temporary removal is needed; there’s no need to destroy it completely.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly and waved his hand to signal the other party to begin.

“As you command, Lord!”

Little Illusion flapped her wings and stood at attention in mid-air, then quickly flew close to the outline of the door.

She stretched one hand directly into the outline of the door, murmuring something under her breath.

After a short moment, the sound of glass cracking and shattering was heard. The door’s outline, which originally blended with the cliff, started to become ethereal, and soon a dark passage extending inward was revealed.

“Let’s go in now.”

Leo Ray casually waved his hand and a team of Sky Guardians and a team of Earth Guardians appeared and began to look around vigilantly. Then he nodded to everyone.

Upon Leo Ray’s command, Red Night took the lead. Several dazzling fireballs flew forward, illuminating the passage as if it were daytime.

After traveling downward through the winding passage for about 20 minutes, Leo Ray and his companions suddenly found themselves in a vast, spotty underground city hall.

The air here was moist, and droplets of water constantly fell from the broken stone walls in the corners, which was striking in the silent and spacious area.

“It’s unexpected that such a space exists underground in the Hundred Ranges.”

Red Night crouched in front of a broken stone stele, carefully discerning the text covered in moss, deep in thought: “This is neither the writing style of the Dwarf Clan nor the architectural method of the Elf Tribe. It seems more like the ancient text of the Dwarf Elves.”

“So this is an ancient Dwarf Elf ruin? This is good news for us.”

Leo Ray’s eyebrows slightly raised, then he nodded thoughtfully.

The entrance to this ruin fits seamlessly with the cliff, clearly well-designed.

In other words, this ruin was meant to be here and could not possibly have been moved.

“Does that mean the Dwarf Clan ruin under Dragon’s Lair is the real ‘Misplaced Object’?”

“Thinking it over, this is indeed quite reasonable, especially since the Eternal Night Magic Box found in the ruins on the outskirts of Viennas City has been confirmed by Prince Veed of the Dwarf Elves as a treasure of the Dwarf Elf race.”

“Although there is some distance from here to the ruin near Viennas City, it is still within a reasonable range.”

“Therefore, it is not hard to deduce that this area was once the domain of the Dwarf Elves before the Era of Blankness, during the Silver Moon Era.”

Just as Leo Ray was contemplating this,

Little Illusion on his shoulder crossed her arms, still looking dissatisfied, and pouted, “So the original masters here were those short folks? No wonder they could come up with such clever tricks.”

“According to ancient books, compared to other races with distinct characteristics, the Dwarf Elves were quite plain.”

Qiana blinked her long lashes, observing the mottled ruin hall and nodded thoughtfully.

“They lacked the magical and artistic power of the Elf Tribe, the martial prowess and forging power of the Dwarves, and the wings and agility of the Winged Race.”

“So for a long time, the Dwarf Elves, also known as the Gnome Race, were at the bottom of the hierarchy of the Ten Thousand Clans, not highly regarded, and were even barely distinguished from Goblins.”

“However, the Dwarf Elves were the most creative race and developed a distinctive path of magic-tech during the later period of the Silver Moon Era. Their status gradually rose among the clans, to the point where even the first-tier species were somewhat wary of them. Unfortunately, they were still wiped out during the mysterious Era of Blankness.”

Listening to Qiana’s words, old Shane was also full of caution and nodded to Leo Ray, “Please be very careful, Your Excellency. This ancient Dwarf Elf ruin is likely filled with danger. The fact that one of their clansmen managed to return safely back then is nothing short of a miracle.”

“Understood. Actually, we do have some deep connections with the Dwarf Elves.”

Leo Ray smiled lightly, and then his expression became serious again, “Regardless, caution is of the utmost importance.”

Leo Ray finished speaking and, surrounded by his subordinates, took the lead in stepping forward.

A line of people entered the shattered gate at the end of the hall, passing through a long, dark, and ancient corridor, and suddenly the view opened up.

During this process, Leo Ray noticed.

There were traces of magic traps here, but the Dwarf Elf Tribe’s magic traps almost all used a physical trigger mechanism, just like what was seen in the village within the “Gate of Truth”.

Although this type of trigger is difficult to be detected by detection magic and highly concealed, it also tends to lose its intended function due to decay and deterioration, which is why they had been safe so far.

Stepping into a brand new vast space, illuminated by the red glow of the magic spheres, everyone couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, their eyes widening.

Before everyone’s eyes appeared a fully armed, massive army!

And they were currently standing on a towering platform, just like a commander stage, overlooking the entire army from a high vantage point.

Accompanied by dozens of dazzling firelight spheres, quickly flying towards various parts of the vast space, Leo Ray paid closer attention.

Every soldier that comprised the huge army had the same physique, the thick bodies clad in stone armor looked strong and capable, each holding various types of stone weapons, much like Earth Guardians.

“No wonder, since the Guardian Defense Mechanism was able to use the ‘Eternal Night Magic Box’ to activate the magic lock, the answer is self-evident – it’s indeed the Dwarf Elf Tribe’s Miracle Building.”

“Therefore, it’s not surprising that the Guardians attached to the Miracle Building are the same as these soldiers since they all originate from the same source.”

Leo Ray’s eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the massive but eerily silent army.

From the faint, barely discernible auras, it was clear.

The breath of these soldiers was each unique, evidently perfectly fitting all the characteristics of alchemy puppets.

“I didn’t sense anything while in the passage, but as soon as we came out, there was the flow of the soldiers’ auras; these ancient ruins of the Dwarf Elf are truly extraordinary.”

“No, to be more precise, this should be one of the Dwarf Elf’s troop storage facilities.”

With this thought in his heart, Leo Ray’s face lit up with excitement, his spirits lifted.

Just as old Shane had introduced before, the number of soldiers here would not be less than 50,000.

Even though all of them are Tier 2 soldiers, the overall combat power is at least equivalent to 50 regular army corps of Dragon’s Lair City or 50 Tier 5 powerhouses.

Should he manage to incorporate all these puppet soldiers under his command, then Dragon’s Lair City would be akin to having an extra 50 legions garrisoned.

With such a balance of forces, even if it is impossible to annihilate all 80 legions of Half-Orcs, finding a way to hold the city should still be manageable.

“In other words, after the defense measures of both Unfallen Fortress and Mountain Fortress, I need not worry too much about Dragon’s Lair City.”

“Now, the only places I need to go all out for are Sunset Fortress and Rainforest Fortress.”

Leo Ray took a deep breath, his eyes sparkling with light.

“What a magnificent sight indeed.”

Sarah Shawn’s starry eyes were filled with shock as she murmured to herself, “I never imagined that such a large-scale alchemical puppet army would be hidden deep underground.”

“I think I now understand the shock and incoherence of that clan member when he reported back to us.”

old Shane’s aged eyes were also full of surprise, murmuring involuntarily.

“Lord, there seems to be no trace of illusion traps here. To ensure safety, let me get a little closer and have a look!”

Little Illusion flapped its transparent wings, flying down from the platform.

However, the moment Little Illusion left the platform, the eyes of the previously silent 50,000 alchemy puppets below blazed with blood-red light, evidently all reactivated.

At the same time, an unbreakable defensive barrier suddenly appeared at the passage behind the group, completely sealing off the way they had come.

Simultaneously, an extremely irate mechanical voice echoed throughout the space: “Intruders, die!”
