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

Chapter 2024: Chapter 1136: Lord and Sand Table

In the King Command Hall of Lion Castle, Leo Ray stood in front of a giant sand table, resting his chin on one hand, carefully scrutinizing the current situation.

It has been seven days and nights since the retreat of the Red Dragon group that night.

During this entire week, the internal order of the Coldflame Kingdom has become more orderly, and there have been no further incidents.

With Holy Maiden Queen Sofia and Holy Light General Joshua at the forefront, the Purification Squad has completely removed the Holy Engravings from our soldiers and the populace, ensuring that all of our personnel will no longer be affected or controlled by mutations.

Moreover, those innocent priests who were kept in the dark have all been thoroughly screened and informed of the entire sequence of events.

With Sofia’s influence, the testimonies of our controlled soldiers, and other evidence we gathered on the Sunset Fortress battlefield, it was not difficult to prove everything.

After all, there are no secrets that time does not reveal. These priests, who have lived for years in various subdivision halls, had long sensed subtle anomalies in daily life, and with our explanations, quickly connected all the dots.

Upon learning of Gannon the Ninth’s series of misdeeds and despicable acts, these priests were utterly shocked and incredulous, and resolved to restore the Temple of Light to the guidance of the Holy Light, rather than leaving it as a dreadful tool in one person’s hand.

According to the predetermined plan, Leo Ray took advantage of the situation and divided these priests into three sections: the first remained in the Coldflame Kingdom, the second operated in other Human various countries, and the third focused on the deployment in the Grimm Kingdom.

The objective of all the priests was singular: to reveal the truth of the matter, targeting solely Gannon the Ninth and not the Temple of Light.

Leo Ray clearly realized that compared to the Temple of Light, which stands among the Human Clan for three thousand years, he, being an Otherworldly Lord who arrived not long ago, did not have the persuasiveness to outright deny the entire Temple of Light.

Therefore, rooting out the black sheep was undoubtedly our best option. Once successfully purging Gannon the Ninth’s influence, the Temple of Light would naturally fall under our control, which is a hundred times better than destroying it outright.

Meanwhile, Leo Ray dispatched a large number of elite Guardians to escort these priests and ensure their safety. As for whether Gannon the Ninth would send Brotherhood agents to attack in secret, Leo Ray was not worried.

If the other side resorted to such acts, it would be self-incriminating. With their cunning and strategy, they naturally would not attack the priests easily but would depict these priests as tools bribed by us.

As expected, things unfolded precisely as Leo Ray anticipated. Gannon the Ninth soon expelled these priests from the Temple of Light, declaring them as defiled by betrayal of the Holy Light.

Our side continued to proceed with the established plan and did not cease the activities of the priests because of this.

What Leo Ray needed to do was reduce Gannon the Ninth’s influence in the Human various countries and stir suspicion, causing the nobles and civilians not to fully side with him.

From the moment Gannon the Ninth expelled the priests, Leo Ray’s objective was essentially achieved.

In this process, the Deep Green Kingdom, already under Leo Ray’s control, and allies in the Ironhand Archipelago naturally supported with all their strength, while apart from the new king of the Grimm Kingdom fully denying everything.

The reactions of the Pals Empire, Saint Night Kingdom, and Orchid Federation were lukewarm, with no overly excessive actions, especially since the Grand Army still trapped in Eternal Sleep Canyon from both Saint Night Kingdom and Orchid Federation had repeatedly sent envoys in secret to negotiate.

To the envoys from these two countries seeking leniency for the Grand Army, Leo Ray refused to meet. Although water sources in Eternal Sleep Canyon were scarce, the Water Energy Particles were sufficient to keep the opposing Grand Army alive.

With this leverage in our hands, the Saint Night Kingdom and Orchid Federation naturally refrained from rash moves.

“Report to your Royal Highness, our Grand Army is advancing triumphantly, having just captured Flowing Light Fortress and now nearing Grimm Kingdom’s heartland!”

With the opening of the Command Hall doors, a middle-aged Messenger Officer knelt before Leo Ray, pressing his chest in salute.

“Understood, go rest.”

Leo Ray waved his hand slightly, refocusing his attention on the vast sand table.

His gaze moved, fixing on a fortress built by the mountains, which was Flowing Light Fortress of the Grimm Kingdom.

After all these days of repeated simulations, paired with the detailed map provided by Lawrence, Leo Ray was already well-acquainted with the Grimm Kingdom’s terrain.

“Flowing Light Fortress is the eastern gateway to Grimm Kingdom’s heartland. Since it’s conquered, the territory of Temple of Light is now within reach.”

Leo Ray’s eyes slowly shifted, nodding contemplatively.

To the west of Flowing Light Fortress is an almost endless plain, which is the central region of Grimm Kingdom, its largest area.

Compared to the relatively complex terrain of Coldflame Kingdom, Grimm Kingdom’s landform is straightforward and clear.

Its heartland is a vast area surrounded by mountains, like a giant pot, with mountain passes connecting to other regions, making it a natural barrier.

“I initially thought the Temple of Light would station heavy troops here, but it turned out to be taken easily in just a few hours.”
