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

“Teacher, didn’t this Crown Prince just say it earlier? The opponent is merely attempting to slow down our advance, yet underestimating the courage and combat skills of our Pars Empire warriors has now backfired, sealing their fate to complete annihilation.”
Braddon shrugged his pauldrons, still maintaining a demeanor of nonchalance.
“No, if it were just to slow us down, the enemy could employ small forces for constant harassment. That Otherworlder would never act so recklessly.”
Antonio stroked his grey beard gently and began to analyze: “Unless these two enemy forces have ulterior motives that are not aligned with simply delaying our grand army’s pace, but for deeper reasons!”
“Oh? Then teacher, tell me, what is the true objective of the opponent?”
Braddon lifted his eyelids, showcasing a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
However, this curiosity quickly turned into disdain, and he added, “In this Crown Prince’s view, the opponent is merely trying the impossible. Against the potent warriors of my magnificent empire, what could that Otherworlder possibly achieve? Teacher, do not diminish our morale and amplify others’ strength.”
“If these two enemy forces are not substantive but rather just a ploy to stall our vanguard and rear army…”
Antonio pondered at this point, suddenly his old eyes widened and he exclaimed, “No good! The true target of the enemy is indeed our central army!”
Just as the old magician’s startled voice fell silent, two enormous blue magnificent cities suddenly emerged from the front and back of their camp.
Without a doubt, they were the Crystal Blue City and Ice Stone City under Leo Ray’s command.
The two sudden huge cities from my side perfectly blocked both ends of the narrow Ice Valley, trapping the enemy’s central army, which was on standby, completely immobilized in between.
Since this all happened in a flash, by the time the 300,000 soldiers of the enemy’s central army noticed something was amiss, they were already standing below the massive city walls, looking utterly insignificant.
Seeing the sudden appearance of gigantic unfamiliar cities ahead and behind, panic spread rapidly among the 39 central army regiments of the Pars Empire.
“What’s happening, how did we get trapped in the center?!”
Seeing this, even the disdainful Braddon immediately realized that they were about to be pincered by two mobile cities!
Facing the gigantic city close at hand and the insurmountable cliffs around, Braddon’s eyes were filled with uncontrollable fear.
His previously composed demeanor vanished, leaving only panic and helplessness on his handsome face, as he began shouting loudly.
“Activate the Absolute Defense Barrier quickly, protect the Crown Prince! Should something happen to me, all of you will accompany me in death!”
As Braddon was already in a state of complete disarray,
Antonio and the other two Imperial Commanders, knowing that reversal was impossible, quickly began to arrange defensive formations amidst their astonishment.
However, Leo Ray wouldn’t give the enemy any time to react,
With a wave of his hand at the top of Crystal Blue City, both Crystal Blue City and Ice Stone City unleashed a volley from their Magic Cannons simultaneously.
The deafening cannon fire echoed through the sky, igniting raging flames within the chaotic enemy camp below.
In the blink of an eye, the area below the city transformed into a scorching sea of fire.
The flickering magic radiance and leaping flames illuminated the twisted faces of the Pars Empire soldiers.
Under the powerful bombardment of the Magic Cannons, many Pars Empire soldiers disintegrated into pieces without even having the chance to scream, perishing in the sudden conflagration.
Subsequently, countless arrows rained down from the sky, delivering the second wave of death’s invitation.
Among them, especially the cavalry and light infantry, positioned by Braddon on both flanks and closest to the city walls for quick reaction, suffered heavy losses that were unavoidable.
And the occasional counterattacks from the enemy towards the city walls were effortlessly intercepted by the Absolute Defense Barrier of the city, causing not a hint of effective damage.
As for the enemy garrisons positioned on the cliffs on both sides, mostly melee troops focused on defense, they could only watch helplessly, powerless to take any action.
Standing atop the walls filled with artillery and arrows, Leo Ray watched expressionlessly at the enemy soldiers sinking in flames and blood, his heart unmoved.
If these ferocious invaders are not struck with fear and pain, then it would be our warriors and people engulfed by flames and blood.
Indeed, just as Antonio finally realized, the two forces Leo Ray initially deployed were meant to hold back the enemy’s vanguard and rear army.
As long as the enemy’s vanguard and rear army were distanced from the targeted central army,
We could naturally take advantage of the Icebound Canyon’s unique terrain, using Crystal Blue City and Ice Stone City to block the isolated central army.
Crucially, the two mobile cities occupying the entry and exit points of the Icebound Canyon were like sealing both ends of a straight pipeline,
not only blocking the enemy central army’s escape route but also halting the advance of the enemy’s vanguard and rear army, preventing reinforcement into the canyon.
This is the core strategy Leo Ray mentioned in the Command Hall, turning the enemy central army’s advantage into a disadvantage by utilizing the terrain.
As for the true identity of the two forces deployed to hold the enemy, they were battle puppet units equipped with large numbers of long-range Attack Magic Scrolls, each with a scale of 5000.
Leo Ray had just issued a retreat order, allowing these battle puppet units, which fulfilled their containment mission, to teleport back to Chasing Light Castle using the architectural effects of “Ice Divine Servant: Return,” avoiding any encirclement by the enemy.
Of course, this also meant that some battle puppets were lost, but with Chasing Light Castle’s reconstruction capabilities, the Battle Puppet Regiment could swiftly return to peak state.
“No doubt, the Holy Lion Prince will scare Braddon to wet his pants this time.”
Beside Leo Ray, Caroline folded her arms, looking down at the splendid scene of fire and smoke below the city, gently raised an arched eyebrow.
This Crystal Blue City, besides its 1000 Magic Cannons, also housed 200,000 Unfallen Fortress troops. Combined with the returning Battle Puppet Regiment, it greatly increased its strength inside the city, enough to let the enemy savor the power of artillery and arrows.
As for the opposing Ice Stone City, it was garrisoned by the Moon Chaser Clan, exceeding 200,000 in number, 1000 Magic Cannons, and old ice guard, which in terms of combat power, might not even lose to Crystal Blue City.
Upon Caroline’s words, other officers on the city walls, already exhilarated, directed their admiring gaze towards Leo Ray.
Up until now, our side has inflicted devastating damage on 30 regiments of the enemy’s central army without virtually suffering any losses!
“After all, I transferred quite a bit of Demon Energy Luminous Crystals from other fortresses, otherwise we wouldn’t have such ample firepower.”
Leo Ray smiled faintly, continuing to observe the situation below the city.
At this time, several main regiment corps in the core area of the enemy’s central army had already set up an Absolute Defense Barrier together, restoring quite a bit of order to the chaotic formation.
However, other Pars regiments on the periphery were still like headless flies, unable to muster any effective defense or retaliation.
This is understandable, for this truly is a two-way siege. These soldiers probably never imagined they’d be sandwiched by two insurmountable cities one day and tormented.
“Reporting to the Lord, the enemy’s rear army has responded very quickly, already forming up and launching a fierce attack on this side of Crystal Blue City.”
Sean Parker flashed to Leo Ray’s vicinity, bowing and reporting.
Almost simultaneously, Ariel Watson in Ice Stone City sent the same message.
The enemy’s vanguard had also completely turned around and launched a fierce attack on the other side of Ice Stone City.
“They arrived quicker than I expected,”
Leo Ray furrowed his eyebrows, pondering as he nodded.
To inflict the maximum amount of damage in the shortest time, Leo Ray positioned the main forces of the two cities on the side attacking the enemy’s central army.
As for the other side, with only twenty percent of the forces available, it was evidently difficult to contend head-to-head with the enemy’s vanguard and rear army.
“Then, let’s do as much damage as possible before the energy of the Absolute Defense Barrier is exhausted,”
Leo Ray’s eyes shone brightly as he waved his hand.
