On the other side, both Holy Light General Joshua and Giant Axe General Burt helplessly nodded, as they had no other option.
After all, this young otherworldly lord had the allegiance of a Tier 5 powerhouse and exuded a deep and unfathomable demeanor, so it was best not to provoke him recklessly.
At this moment, these two battle-hardened Kingdom generals couldn’t help but feel a sense of helplessness in their hearts.
It seemed like they had just escaped from the Dragon’s Pool of the Royal Capital only to fall into the Tiger’s Den of Cyan Town…
However, they couldn’t deny the fact that,
Compared to other cities filled with crises and unknown Prince forces, Cyan Town, which was occupied by this otherworldly lord, was safer.
Despite the young otherworldly lord’s domineering nature, he hadn’t shown any clear hostility towards them so far.
If they could make good use of this enormous power, perhaps the situation of the princess and the two of them might take a turn for the better, but this is yet to be determined.
Of course, this still requires careful consideration in the long run.
On the other side, as Ariel Watson watched Leo Ray’s back, her long eyelashes quivered, and she started to calculate in her mind.
“Anyway, this annoying guy can’t possibly know that I’m looking for ‘that thing.’ If I find any clues during this trip, I’ll deceive him first and then seize the opportunity. After all, he has the allegiance of a Tier 5 powerhouse, who can serve as my hitter. This way, things will be much more convenient. It would be even better if I can cause him significant damage, which would be more advantageous for my next moves.”
Realizing this, Ariel smiled slightly and said, “Fine, I will comply with you!”
Then, she stood up from her seat and added with furrowed brows, “Of course, this is only for this time. Normally, I would never listen to you.”
“Oh? That’s quite an agreeable response.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows slightly, contemplating in his heart, “Ariel clearly wants to use my power to find ‘that thing.’ It seems that a game of cat and mouse between the hunter and the hunted is about to begin.”
With this thought, Leo Ray turned around and said to Ariel with a smile, “Since our dear Her Highness the Fifth Princess has assured us, let’s set out.”
After finishing his words, Leo Ray pushed open the door of the hall and walked ahead of everyone.
Near the Dragon’s Lair, on a tall peak of the Hundred Ranges.
In the vast night, two blood moons hung in the sky.
At the foot of the mountain, the city built like a fortress was already engulfed in wolf smoke, with raging flames that reached the sky.
The dazzling light of attack magic, akin to brilliant fireworks, exploded by the towering city walls from time to time, eliciting waves of mournful wails and screams.
Undoubtedly, the fortress city standing at the chokepoint was facing an unexpected attack.
Looking down from the cliff, one could vaguely see that,
Due to the city resembling a bottle stopper directly sealing off the mountain pass,
The invading army that suddenly appeared from the other side of the ranges couldn’t get across the pass at all.
Under the moonlit night, countless figures surged onto the city walls amidst thundering battle cries, only to struggle and fall back down. This continuous scene of individuals swarming like ants out of their holes was so shocking, even to someone standing atop the high peak.
Seeing this, Wesley Peterson, standing on the peak and inhaling the stench of blood and gunpowder in the air, felt his legs go weak, and hurriedly retreated several steps, unconsciously swallowing hard.
From his appearance, he was around thirty years old, with a tall and sturdy body.
Standing around him were four younger individuals, two men and two women, all in their early twenties.
At this point, these two young men and women all looked terrified, standing in place and not knowing what to do.
Despite the distance, the bloody warfare of cold weapons and lethal spells was far more brutal than any of these young people could have ever imagined.
Without a doubt, these five tense-looking individuals, just like Leo Ray, were otherworldly lords who had descended into this world.
“Brother Wesley, what kind of race are those creatures? They seem to be significantly shorter than normal humans…”
At this moment, a young male lord wearing glasses and holding a broken Iron Sword couldn’t help but swallow hard, asking curiously.
“No matter what race they are, it’s obvious that they are not friendly to the Human Clan.”
Before Wesley could speak, another long-haired young male lord holding a Long Spear wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and gasped, “What I want to know is, will they…attack us here?”
“Ah!”
On hearing this, the two young female lords, who were already huddling together, screamed and began shivering uncontrollably.
“Let’s not panic and disrupt our own formation.”
At this point, although Wesley was also feeling nervous internally, he forced himself to calm down, waved his hand and tried his best to reassure the others.
The territories of these five people were luckily located around this spacious peak.
After the three-day protection period had passed, they discovered each other and subsequently decided to cooperate with each other, continuing up to this point.
