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

Chapter 2069: Chapter 1159: Village of Mist

As the powerful onlookers on the mountain peak watched the mist suddenly appear on the siege battlefield and all frowned, Leo Ray, located at the center of the battlefield, saw a different scene.

Apart from the magic cannon fire and smoke constantly churning on the city wall ahead, the sky here remained clear, no different from before.

“Lord, if we continue this ferocious offensive, it seems it won’t be long before the opponent’s Absolute Defense Barrier crumbles!”

With his knights all deployed at the vanguard, Iron Cavalry General Hode said with exhilaration, “Once the city gate opens, I will lead the troops in first!”

After Hode spoke, several other waiting subordinate commanders also nodded in agreement, looking ready to spring into action.

“Something’s not right.”

Leo Ray slightly raised his hand, signaling the commanders to quiet down, and said with a frown, “Don’t you find it too quiet on the opponent’s side? Not even a hint of counterattack.”

“Your words are justified, Lord. According to the latest intelligence, although the Grim Kingdom’s main force has been eliminated by us, several emergency measures, including the new king Hull’s use of reserve forces and the summoning of veterans, have made the defenses of their Royal Capital still formidable, potentially comprising at least 40 to 50 legions.”

Prince Viceroy Lawrence also furrowed his white brows, agreeing, “Even if these rabble’s combat power is relatively weak, they should still be able to resist to some degree.”

“So, they have another plan?”

Hode immediately realized the situation, and a serious expression appeared on his resolute face as he instinctively became vigilant.

“Exactly, they must be plotting something.”

Leo Ray affirmed the middle-aged Knight Commander’s thoughts, pondering, “Where on earth will they make their move?”

No sooner had Leo Ray’s voice fallen than the surrounding area erupted in battle cries and explosions.

What followed was the continuous sound of screams and intense weapon clashes.

“To report to your Highness, the Grand Army from the Ironhand Archipelago on the west side of Brilliant City suddenly turned their cannons toward our lines, raining down magic cannon fire!”

A middle-aged Messenger Officer, full of panic, rushed to Leo Ray and kneeled, reporting, “I also saw the Grim Grand Army suddenly pour out from the west gate in file, trying to merge with the Ironhand Archipelago’s army to encircle us!”

“The Ironhand Archipelago is our ally; how could they possibly defect before battle?”

Hode looked shocked, almost unable to believe his ears.

Before Hode could continue, another young Messenger Officer stumbled to Leo Ray, reporting, “Your Highness, fifty thousand Grim defectors at the rear suddenly charged our mage positions, causing significant losses, and the Absolute Defense Barrier is on the verge of collapse!”

“Impossible! Those defector soldiers had already surrendered under your Highness’s supreme benevolence, how could they attack the mage positions?”

Lawrence’s old face was full of shock as he blurted out, “Moreover, with their strength and equipment, even in a surprise attack, how could they shake the mage positions’ guard troop? This is simply baffling!”

“Your Highness, I’ve suddenly found a massive army in the rear, with banners covering the mountains and plains, it seems to be the Temple of Light’s Holy Knight Order!”

This time, appearing before Leo Ray was a Scout Commander with a face full of terror.

“What? Our vast scout force covers the entire central region of Grim, monitoring the opponent’s moves both on land and in the sky, there’s been no sign of such a massive enemy troop movement, how could they suddenly appear?”

Giant Axe General Burt’s old face was full of disbelief as he frowningly asked, “You, a Scout Commander, should be more aware of this than anyone, why would you disrupt morale here?”

“General, although I find it odd too, I really saw it with my own eyes!”

The Scout Commander looked defenseless, having to describe the scene he witnessed again.

At the sound, just as Burt was about to inquire further, Leo Ray stopped him.

At this moment, Leo Ray could clearly feel it.

Although the attacking magic cannon fire continued to roar, its momentum was far weaker than at the beginning.

The most crucial thing is, just as Burt worried earlier, our entire camp has been disturbed by these sudden shocking changes, now unstable in morale and losing spirit.

“Lord, my siege forces from all four directions have all been engulfed in an illusionary barrier.”

Serene’s slender form flashed as she paid her respects to Leo Ray, saying, “This is all a plot by the enemy, none of our troops have defected.”

“So that’s it, is it?”

Hearing this expected answer, Leo Ray’s brows furrowed even tighter.

From the moment the first Messenger Officer reported, Leo Ray had already realized this in his heart.

He and Catherine had long been life-and-death allies, saving each other’s lives; Catherine could never defect before battle, it wouldn’t benefit the Ironhand Archipelago or the Blood Clan.

Moreover, Taylor was always by Catherine’s side, making it impossible not to notice anything.
